Chapter 176 Lin Luodan's Marriage Agreement Reached
I don't know if they're sneering at Wang Guangrong, that low-achieving scholar with terrible character, or at Lin Luodan, that young girl with such a vile nature.
Upon learning it was a shameless piece of gossip, Uncle Qi lost all interest and left without looking back.
When the village chief of Wangjia Village saw Uncle Qi's eccentric temperament, his heart skipped a beat.
Village Chief Wang, who had initially been somewhat confident that he could close the deal, suddenly became apprehensive. Could the old man be going to call the Lin family members over?
With a heavy heart, I quickly headed towards Old Lin's house, determined to get this matter settled today, no matter what.
Before long, news of Lin Luodan being bullied by Wang Guangrong spread like wildfire.
And the Lin family—
When Old Man Lin and Old Man Wu saw the village chief of Wangjia Village come to their door, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Lin Luodan is quite capable; she managed to win over Wang Guangrong, this scholar, in one fell swoop. It looks like the betrothal gifts are definitely not going to be a problem.
When Village Chief Wang saw Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin, he didn't hide anything and told them everything about Wang Guangrong and Lin Luodan, and promised that Wang Guangrong would marry Lin Luodan as soon as possible.
The people from Wangjia Village who came along immediately withdrew when they saw that Village Chief Wang was going to discuss Wang Guangrong and Lin Luodan's affairs with the Lin family. They all went back to their own homes to do their work.
Wang Guangrong's widowed mother was also invited to Wutong Village by the village chief's son as quickly as possible.
As for how they discussed it inside, no one knows, but gossipers outside Lin Nuodan's courtyard occasionally heard the voices of Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mr. Lin protesting.
The Wang family talked at the Lin family's house until evening, when the Lin family's courtyard finally quieted down.
Those who were still waiting outside the Lin family's house to watch the commotion saw Wang Guangrong and his widowed mother, looking dejected, follow behind Village Chief Wang as they left the Lin family's house.
Meanwhile, at Lin Luoxi's house, because there were enough people and Zhao Minghui's team was professional, Zhao Minghui was very tempted by Lin Luoxi's promise, so the process was naturally much faster, and the approximate size of the house was gradually taking shape.
The villagers who joined in the work were also very helpful, and the wall over the wasteland has already been built for more than 100 meters.
"Daughter, looking at this huge area, I can already imagine how beautiful the house will be after it's built." Standing in front of the foundation of the new house, Madam Lin couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.
"Mom, this is nothing. Don't worry, the house I designed myself will definitely be good." After all, Lin Luoxi's house design incorporates elements of modern architecture, striving for perfection, and will definitely be more beautiful than those multi-courtyard houses in the county town.
Otherwise, why would Zhao Minghui, a renowned craftsman who has built countless buildings, care so much about her blueprints?
"Yes, I believe in my daughter's abilities." After all, everything the family has now is earned by her daughter, so Madam Lin has great faith in Lin Luoxi's capabilities.
"Wow, we'll have a new house soon! Second sister, second sister, I want my own room too!" The mischievous Lin Wentao stood beside Lin Wangshi and Lin Luoxi.
Listening to their conversation, his face flushed with excitement. The child couldn't hide his excitement and excitedly discussed with Lin Luoxi that he wanted to have his own room after the new house was built.
"Yes, you don't need to tell me that. I've already thought it through. We all need our own private space."
"However, when the time comes, someone can't be scared and cry just because their room is big." Lin Luoxi couldn't help but pour cold water on Lin Wentao's happy expression.
"I won't cry, it'll be my little sister who's crying." The precocious Lin Wentao knew how to shift the blame onto Lin Luoning.
"I won't cry, because I still want to sleep with my sister." Lin Luoning retorted defiantly, looking at Lin Luoxi with hopeful eyes, hoping that Lin Luoxi would agree to let her sleep with her.
"Fourth sister, no way! The reason I'm building a new house is so that everyone has their own space. You're all grown up now, you should sleep in your own room." She was joking, of course. If she still wanted to share a room with someone else, why was she so eager to build a new house?
"Waaah... Second sister, do you not like me anymore?" Upon hearing that Lin Luoxi didn't want him to sleep with her, Lin Luoning immediately pouted and was about to cry.
"This isn't a matter of liking or disliking. If you want to become strong, you have to start by being independent, understand?" Sigh, Lin Luoxi really had no resistance to the little cutie's tears, so she could only patiently explain in a soft voice.
"Okay, I want to live in a room by myself." Upon hearing that becoming strong must start with independence, Lin Luoning immediately stopped her tears and patted her chest to promise.
Lin Yangshi and Lin Zhousheng also stood aside and watched as the foundation of Lin Luoxi's house was completed. They felt envious but not jealous, and they knew that all of this was earned by Lin Luoxi with her life.
As the saying goes, fools are sometimes lucky. She used to think that Lady Wang had a hard life, but now it seems that Lady Lin has the best life.
The Lin family is now the best-off family in the entire village, no, it should be said that they are the best-off family in the surrounding area.
Lin Yangshi decided that from now on, no matter what Lin Luoxi asked her to do, she would do her best to do it.
With Lin Luoxi's personality—if someone treats her well, she'll treat them ten times better—she'll definitely be fine following Lin Luoxi.
Not only does she want to associate with Lin Luoxi, but she also wants her two children to build a good relationship with Lin Luoxi, learn from her, and surely have a bright future.
She gently tugged at the tug at her husband beside her and whispered her plan in Lin Zhousheng's ear.
"You're only finding out now? I thought you wouldn't be able to swallow your pride like that." Lin Zhousheng originally thought he would have to put in a lot of effort to persuade his wife to be more flexible.
To his surprise, his wife was even more insightful than he had imagined, which put his mind at ease.
"Dayou, Dayou, congratulations! Your eldest brother's daughter is getting married. The engagement has been arranged and it should be within the next day or two."
“Your eldest niece is getting married. As her uncle, shouldn’t you give her a dowry? After all, you’re richer than a landlord now, so you shouldn’t be short of money.”
Just as everyone was beginning to look forward to a bright future, a spoilsporting voice shattered the pleasant atmosphere.
"Auntie Pang, have you forgotten that Lin Dayou's family and Lin Daguang's family have no relation to each other now? Before, it was because Lin Jiyong and the others had raised Lin Dayou that Lin Dayou received a lot of filial piety money."
