Before, he thought Lin Xi was a kind-hearted boy. When he had a good impression of Lin Xi, he thought that as long as he could marry Lin Xi home, the two of them could live happily in harmony and it would not be impossible to deal with Tian Yun and the others occasionally.
But later he found that Lin Xi was no different from Tian Yun and the others, and had learned all their behavior from them. He no longer had the patience to deal with that family, and he even lacked the patience to speak to Lin Xi in a pleasant manner.
He estimated that if he didn't agree to take that family to Qingshui County today, they would come and make trouble later.
I have already made a fool of myself in the village today. If there is another disturbance after dark, I will not be able to have a peaceful New Year.
"I agreed. Anything else?"
Lu Bochen suddenly agreed so readily that Lin Xi almost didn't react: "No more."
Lu Bochen: "If you don't have it, go back."
Seeing that Lu Bochen was about to turn around and go back to the house, Lin Xi hurriedly grabbed his arm: "We are about to get married, do you have to be so cold to me?"
Without even turning his head, Lu Bochen used his other hand to remove Lin Xi's hand from his arm, his tone cold: "You know very well why we are getting married, Brother Xi. I used to think that I would treat you well after we got married, but your behavior has disappointed me. We will get married after the New Year, and we should treat each other with respect. I will not treat you unfairly, and I can't give you more."
Lin Xi's mind went blank, his ears were buzzing, and the pain in his body became more pronounced. He could hardly hear what he was saying: "What do you mean?"
Lu Bochen still didn't even look at Lin Xi: "Literally, you know exactly what kind of people I don't like, but you still do it. Since you did that, you must have the courage to bear the consequences."
"It's impossible for me to marry you without any regrets." Lu Bochen sighed softly: "That's it, I will pick you up at your door tomorrow morning."
The door of Lu Bochen's house closed quickly in front of Lin Xi, leaving him no time to catch up.
Lin Xi felt a chill in his heart, even colder than the weather. Was this the only result his efforts would bring?
If Lu Bochen hadn't hesitated and refused to confirm their marriage, would he have done this?
Lin Xi returned home in a daze. Tian Yun saw him coming back and immediately put down his work and ran over to him and asked, "Why do you look like this? Didn't Lu Bochen agree?"
Lin Xi didn't want to see Tian Yun's expression, so she looked away: "He agreed."
Tian Yun asked in confusion, "Why are you still like this after you promised me? If someone didn't know, they would think Lu Bochen wasn't treating you well."
Lin Yang was drinking water in the yard. Hearing this, he said, "I guess so. Lu Bochen is a hunter and came from a military camp. He must be resentful of what Xiaoxi did."
Then Lin Yang put down the watering can and walked up to Lin Xi: "Xiao Xi, let's tolerate him for two days. After we get married, we'll teach him a lesson. If he bullies you after we get married, I'll help you get revenge."
Lin Xi was in a bad mood, but still gave Lin Yang a blank look.
He has been here for less than two years, but he knows exactly what kind of person Lin Yang is. He is the typical person who does not have the fate of a prince, but has prince syndrome.
He keeps shouting about wanting to be the top scholar, but in fact he is just being lazy at home and not working. He has been taking the exam for many years and is not even a scholar. However, Tian Yun has great confidence in Lin Yang and treats him like a young master every day.
Lin Yang loves his younger brother, but if he really confronts Lu Bochen, Lin Yang can only admit defeat.
Lin Yang also saw contempt in Lin Ran's eyes. He touched his nose and said nothing. He left here on the pretext that he wanted to read a book.
Between Lin Yang and Lin Xi, Tian Yun still leaned towards Lin Yang: "Your brother is doing this for your own good. What? Are you planning to marry well and look down on our family?"
"Whatever you say is what it is." He was tired and too lazy to talk to Tian Yun so much. Before Tian Yun could speak, he said, "Lu Bochen will come to pick us up tomorrow morning. I'm going back to my room first. I won't eat dinner."
Looking at Lin Xi's departing figure, Tian Yun shouted, "You're not eating, how thin have you become!"
Tian Yun didn't understand and asked Lin Dazhuang, who was weaving a winnowing basket, "What's going on with Xiaoxi? He hasn't eaten much since he fell into the water."
Lin Dazhuang didn't even raise his head and whispered, "I don't know."
Tian Yun complained, "I guess you don't know either. You can't even say a word in a day."
Lin Dazhuang paused for a moment, but did not refute.
365 also reminded Bai Ye that everyone would come to the county tomorrow, and suggested that Bai Ye take a day off to prevent Tian Yun from seeing how well they were doing and wanting to become related to them.
Bai Ye is not afraid. Come if you have the ability. He is not afraid of that family or his baby.
＊
At dawn, Tian Yun and his companions rode Lu Bochen's carriage into the city under the envious gazes of the early-rising villagers.
This time they went to the city to buy things for the New Year, as well as cloth for Lin Ran and Lu Bochen's wedding dresses. As for other things needed for the wedding, they could go to the city again after the New Year.
Tian Yun and the others thought that Lu Bochen must have saved a lot of money in the past few years, so they planned to let Lu Bochen pay for everything when they went into the city this time.
As soon as they arrived in Qingshui County, the family went to eat a bowl of wontons.
Because Lu Bochen paid for it, Tian Yun and Lin Yang each ate three large bowls of wontons.
Lin Dazhuang was fine, he only ordered one portion and did not forget to observe Lu Bochen's expression while eating.
Seeing that Tian Yun and Lin Yang were greedy for even a bowl of wontons, Lin Ran secretly cursed the two for being worldly-wise. He felt ashamed to eat nothing after seeing them behave like this in front of Lu Bochen.
The wontons had thin skin and thick fillings made of cabbage and lean meat. They smelled delicious, but Lin Xi couldn't swallow them.
Lu Bochen also saw what Tian Yun and the others were planning from their breakfast, and he also had a plan in mind.
After breakfast, Tian Yun planned to buy cloth first, but Lu Bochen told them to buy New Year's goods for the family, and he and Lin Xi would go to look at cloth.
As soon as Lu Bochen said this, Tian Yun was the first one to be dissatisfied. She wanted to go with him to buy cloth and buy some new clothes for her family.
If they went their separate ways now, they would have to pay for their own New Year's goods, and she wouldn't be able to buy any cloth.
"Shall we go buy cloth with you first? After all, you two are young. What if the owner of the cloth shop cheats you?" Tian Yun looked like he was doing it for the good of Lu Bochen and the others.
Lu Bochen's expression was grim. He was not stupid. He had not married Lin Xi yet. The way Tian Yun and the others ate was too ugly.
"No need, let's go and see it ourselves. Brother Xi, let's go."
Lu Bochen didn't give Tian Yun and the others any face at all. He called Lin Xi and turned away.
Lin Xi lowered his voice and said to Tian Yun, "Go buy it yourselves, don't follow me. When you're done, just wait here in the carriage."
Tian Yun grabbed Lin Xi who was about to leave and whispered, "How can this be possible? We didn't bring many coins today. As our future son-in-law, shouldn't he help us buy things?"
