A Dream of the Yellow Millet (3)
The next day, Lin Zhen brought Xiaoyin to "Lin Zhen". "He's quite pitiful and still young. I'll take care of him when he grows up."
"Lin Zhen" didn't say anything, but the nanny beside him was not happy. She came up to "Lin Zhen" and spread some gossip, saying that this Omega was obviously a plaything raised by the third young master, and that he asked "Lin Zhen" to take care of everything, because he wanted to take him as a concubine when he grew up.
Lin Zhen coughed and said, "Just treat it as raising a child and getting used to the responsibilities of being a mother in advance."
Mammy fell silent immediately.
Lin Zhen blushed, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Zhen walked forward and placed his hands on the back of the chair, forming a hug around "Lin Zhen". He leaned close to "Lin Zhen's" ear and whispered teasingly in a low voice: "We kissed last night, you might be pregnant now."
"Lin Zhen"'s face turned even redder. He seemed to have not expected that his husband was so innocent.
After Lin Zhen went to deal with important matters at home, the nanny took Xiaoyin into the side room for a physical examination.
The door opened again, and the nanny's face looked extremely bad. She said hesitantly, "Ah Hao, the Third Young Master may not be able to..."
What is more terrifying than Ayin being a virgin is that Gu San is not capable.
"Lin Zhen" was struck by lightning.
At night, Lin Zhen returned to "Lin Zhen" for dinner.
"Lin Zhen" hesitated to speak several times.
"What's going on?" Lin Zhen took a few glances and knew what "Lin Zhen" and the nanny were communicating about. He was too familiar with these two people.
Xiaoyin came in carrying a soup bowl.
The air was filled with the unique smell of sheep.
"Lin Zhen" took the mutton soup handed over by Xiaoyin and pushed it in front of Lin Zhen with a red face.
Lin Zhen glanced at him and drank it all in one breath without saying anything.
After drinking, "Lin Zhen" hesitated and said that letting Xiaoyin and Lin Zhen sleep tonight was obviously a test.
Lin Zhen laughed, "He's still young, so I'll sleep with you."
"Lin Zhen" was embarrassed.
The medicine put in the mutton soup took effect soon.
When Lin Zhen took possession of the eighteen-year-old "Lin Zhen", "Lin Zhen" cried miserably.
"Don't cry, I've been very gentle. I thought you were still young and I would raise you for a few more years, but why are you so disobedient?" Lin Zhen kissed away "Lin Zhen's" tears. "You're so young, and you have to be a mother. It's too hard."
"Lin Zhen" suddenly stopped crying. He looked at Lin Zhen seriously, as if he was looking at a beautiful dream that could be shattered at any time.
Maybe it was good luck, after that time, "Lin Zhen" did not get pregnant, but he obviously did not dare to doubt Lin Zhen's physical condition again.
About a month later, "Lin Zhen" personally made a bowl of sweet osmanthus wine soup for Lin Zhen.
Seeing the bowl of sweet soup, Lin Zhen calculated the time and it seemed to be the same time in his previous life.
At that time, Lin Zhen was very sad because Gu San disliked his appearance and Gu San went to find Xiaoyin. In order to avoid being trapped in this mood and suffering too much, he thought about finding something he liked to do.
The dowry that Lin's mother gave him was taken away by Gu's mother. After all, the Omegas in the Lin family were notorious for their house fights, so in order to get married, the dowry of the Lin family was defaulted to go to the husband's family.
So, he didn't even have any property at that time, so he could only shamelessly go to Gu San.
However, Gu San not only looked at him as if he were a spendthrift woman and scolded him, but also threatened to divorce him.
Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't eat, "Lin Zhen" said shyly: "Should I feed you?"
Lin Zhen restrained his emotions and teased him, "Don't dare to eat it, or you'll cry again."
Lin Zhen blushed immediately, "I didn't."
He hurriedly picked up the food with a spoon and took a bite, "There's no drug in it."
Seeing that he seemed to be about to cry, Lin Zhen took the bowl of sweet soup from "Lin Zhen" and continued to eat without changing the spoon.
"Lin Zhen" lowered his head at a loss, but his ears turned red.
After drinking the soup, Lin Zhen waved to "Lin Zhen".
"Lin Zhen" came forward with an embarrassed look on his face. Since becoming an Alpha, Lin Zhen's strength has become astonishingly great. He just pulled her lightly, and "Lin Zhen" sat in his arms.
Lin Zhen put his arms around "Lin Zhen's" waist and hugged her while reading together.
Although Lin Zhen had once fantasized that Gu San was a good husband, he did not feel much upset when his fantasy was subsequently shattered.
He knew from a very young age that if his parents were unwilling to give him something, would a strange Alpha give it to him just because he married him?
Impossible.
But now he feels that there is someone who can give it to him, no matter what, that person is willing to give it to him, and give him everything he has.
That person is not a parent, nor is he a husband.
It was himself, the self who was always by his side, spending every day with him.
How come no one in this world loves him?
The people who love him have been by his side since he was born.
In his previous life, he was crazy, mad, and vicious, and in the end he was labeled as "jealous and cruel."
But who would have known that the eighteen-year-old boy would get on that sedan chair crying.
He was once a child longing for love.
"I want to open an embroidery shop," "Lin Zhen"'s voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"Your dowry is here with me," Lin Zhen handed a wooden box that had been on the table for a month to "Lin Zhen".
"Lin Zhen" opened it in disbelief. Not only was there his dowry, but his husband had also added some.
"Shh, don't tell anyone." Lin Zhen knew that if he returned the dowry to "Lin Zhen" properly and the news got out, it would be difficult for the Lin family's Omegas to get married. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Just do whatever you want to do," Lin Zhen picked up the book and continued reading. "Ask me if you're not satisfied."
Lin Zhen stared at Lin Zhen blankly for a long time, tears streaming down his face. "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Is this good? This originally belonged to you, I just gave it back to you, is this good?" Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel desolate.
Thirty-nine-year-old Lin Zhen's eyes and heart were full of hatred. Twenty-one years ago, the eighteen-year-old "Lin Zhen" did not understand these things. He only felt love, so he kissed Lin Zhen gently, then blushed and immediately broke away from Lin Zhen's arms, running away with the box.
"Lin Zhen" is young and simple-minded, but he is not stupid after all. When he returned and the nanny asked him about it, he immediately knew that this matter must not be known to a third person, so he said that the things in the box were borrowed from Gu San.
Nanny stayed with Lin Zhen not just to care for her, but also to discipline and educate her. One day, while Lin Zhen wasn't paying attention, she opened the box and rummaged through the contents. Inside was not only Lin Zhen's dowry, but other items as well. How could the Gu family have given such a large sum of money to Lin Zhen? Most likely, they were giving Lin Zhen the instructions to manage it.
There is no such generous Alpha in the world.
The nanny no longer had any doubts.
A few months later, "Lin Zhen"'s embroidery shop opened.
The place is always crowded with people and it is hard to get a handkerchief.
When "Lin Zhen" was free, she embroidered a handkerchief for Lin Zhen. That handkerchief was almost stolen by someone during a social event.
"Everyone says that the Omegas of the Lin family are smart, and smart people are good at everything they do." Everyone praised Lin for his good vision and for marrying a capable wife.
Gradually, the Omegas of the Lin family no longer had to marry out under compromising conditions as they did before.
When "Lin Zhen" was twenty years old, he mentioned A Yin. Seventeen-year-old A Yin was becoming more and more beautiful. She was always attracted by some younger generations of the Gu family who would sneak in and try to take advantage of A Yin. "Lin Zhen" did not say that A Yin was dissolute, but felt that it was hard to guard against her. It would be better for Lin Zhen to take her in to avoid any trouble.
Lin Zhen thought for a while and said seriously, "Ah Hao, in this life, I am only here for you. I don't have the energy to take care of others."
Lin Zhen didn't quite understand, but he understood the affection in these words. He felt a little shy, but also a little happy. "...Ayin is very beautiful, and you...you are not at a disadvantage."
"But in my heart, you are irreplaceable," Lin Zhen's eyes were full of pity and desolate.
"...Then I will see to it that Ayin is married off and find a good family for him," "Lin Zhen" was so embarrassed that he even stuttered.
"Okay," Lin Zhen was very relieved about the twenty-year-old "Lin Zhen".
Half a year later, "Lin Zhen" found a man from the Pan family in Nancheng for Ayin. He was a distant relative of Duke Pan Xuesun. Although he was down and out, he had the Duke behind him, and no one dared to bully Ayin.
That female Alpha is not only good-looking, but her father is also a wife slave, so she must be good to her wife.
In addition, Nancheng is a rare city of etiquette, and the public security in the city is also very good.
Four years after Ayin got married, she sent someone to invite the Lin Zhen couple to visit her.
Ayin's partner is indeed a gentle person. "Lin Zhen" asked Ayin when she planned to have children. Ayin said: "She thinks I'm still young and said to wait until I'm 25."
"Lin Zhen" glanced at Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen obviously said this.
And this year, I am only one year away from turning 25.
Lin Zhen also looked at "Lin Zhen". He remembered that in his previous life, Ayin gave birth to an Omega for Gu San when she was sixteen years old. It was a very beautiful Omega, who was secretly raised by Gu San in a side branch.
Lin Zhen was very angry when he found out. If Gu San had explained it to him clearly, he would not have stopped him from taking a concubine. But he was so secretive and looked at him with such a smug and hurtful look as if "how can an ugly thing like you give birth to such a beautiful child?" He was so angry that he almost went crazy.
The couple stayed in Ayin's care for a week, and it was not convenient to bother them any further.
When they returned to Xiucheng, it was already late and still a little chilly. The nanny warmed up the ginger wine and served it to Lin Zhen to ward off the cold.
"Lin Zhen" originally planned to take a shower and go to bed, but was called away by Gu's mother.
It's probably about the children again.
"Lin Zhen" couldn't say anything bad about her husband, so she could only kneel upright and listen to Gu's mother's lecture while holding back her tears.
"Lin Zhen" was raised very well. The pampered Omega looked very tender and even the look with tears in his eyes was very touching.
Mother Gu also felt strange. Was this "Lin Zhen" so good-looking before?
Then Lin Zhen came.
Lin Zhen's face showed some signs of drunkenness, but his eyes were clear.
He didn't say anything, and when she glanced at him coldly, Mother Gu hurriedly helped "Lin Zhen" up.
"Mother," Lin Zhen's voice was hoarse from the alcohol, "If you want to punish him, then punish my son as well."
Mother Gu felt wronged and wiped her tears with her handkerchief and said, "I am doing this for you, you heartless man. You are the head of the family, how can you not have children?"
"Who said no?" Lin Zhen took "Lin Zhen" from his mother's hands and held her sideways. "He's pregnant. If he doesn't feel well, it will be your fault, mother."
Mother Gu was so surprised that she even forgot to cry. She just stared blankly at the backs of the young couple as they left affectionately.
When they got to the yard, Lin Zhen blushed and said, "How can you say that? Mother won't be able to sleep well tonight."
Lin Zhen said: "If you get hurt or sick, I won't be able to sleep either."
There was a person kneeling in the corner of the yard, and the nanny was hitting her back with a feather duster.
Lin Zhen asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
The nanny sneered and said, "This little bitch is so bold to try to seduce the master of the house."
Lin Zhen's face also turned cold for a moment.
He thought back to that night, fifteen years ago, when he was twenty-four. It was the same reason, Mother Gu's fault for not having children. Back then, because he had sold the child born to Ayin, his relationship with Gu San was at its worst. Originally, Gu San would come to his room on a fixed day each month to fulfill their conjugal duties, but later, he simply stopped pretending. His eyes were either contemptuous or mocking, mocking or disdainful.
Said he was old and ugly.
Can't lay eggs yet.
How can he play alone?
Lin Zhen was so angry that he was shaking and wanted to shout out loud: It was not him, Lin Zhen, who wanted to marry Gu San in the first place!
After being forced to kneel for half an hour by Gu's mother, Lin Zhen was exhausted, in pain, and thirsty. He slowly walked back to the courtyard, supported only by the nanny who came with his dowry. She kept her toes in her tones, offering him consolation, essentially urging him to humble himself and actively curry favor with Gu San. If necessary, she could find him a few beautiful Omegas as concubines. Lin Zhen was gradually persuaded. He wasn't even thirty yet, but he had white hair. It seemed he was truly old.
However, when he returned to the yard, he saw Gu San hugging a maid and kissing her. The sound of water was so loud that Lin Zhen could hear it from a long distance away. It was really irritating.
He was almost desperate, abandoning the elegance of a mistress, rushing forward with disheveled hair like a devil, and slapping the little girl in the face with one palm.
The ordinary-looking girl immediately fell to the ground screaming in pain, still shouting, "Master, save me..."
Lin Zhen vented his emotions and calmed down. He put his hair up again and waited to see what Gu San would say.
That girl usually looks noble and honest, not like a bitch. Most likely, it was the playboy Gu San who started it first.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the girl's face clearly, Gu San actually said "Pah" and said with disgust: "What an ugly thing, actually seduced me? Lin Zhen?"
Then he fell into a drunken sleep.
Ugly thing? Lin Zhen?
Lin Zhen couldn't stand hearing this kind of talk, and he became furious.
But he couldn't do anything to Gu San, so he had to vent his anger on the girl.
"Take him out and sell him off!"
And now, do it again.
That girl is here again.
This time, Lin Zhen saw clearly that this little girl was just a slut, she was just conceited and wanted things that didn't belong to her.
The moment she pretended to fall and pounced on him, Lin Zhen kicked her out, leaving her no chance to get close.
Seeing the nanny beating the girl so badly, Lin Zhen couldn't help but speak out to stop her, "Forget it, what does she know as a little girl?"
Seeing Lin Zhen's silence, "Lin Zhen" said again: "It's so pitiful. Actually... I am willing to take a concubine."
"I don't even like Ayin, how can I like her? Ah Hao, I only want you," Lin Zhen said, and went back to the house holding "Lin Zhen".
The little girl was injured and recuperated for several months. It seemed that Lin Zhen's words of disdain had stung her heart, and she had suffered a great blow, and her temper had improved a lot. The head of the family was a decent man, and these people under him would not kill her. After she recovered from her injuries, she was transferred by the nanny to do cleaning work outside, and she didn't cause any trouble again.
The days were plain and warm. A year later, "Lin Zhen" gave birth to an Omega.
"This child is so cute, just like you," Lin Zhen hugged the Omega and couldn't let go, obviously he really liked him.
"Lin Zhen" felt a little guilty, probably because he felt that he had not given birth to an Alpha for Lin Zhen.
"What's the big deal? I want our child to be the happiest Omega in the world. If others say something unpleasant about her, I will just follow your fourth brother's example and stop being the head of the family." Lin Zhen said.
Lin Zhen was talking about the fourth brother of the Lin family who had quit his job.
I heard that he was farming in a town far away from Taocheng, and his daughter's name seemed to be "Lin Shu"?
Not sure, these things have little to do with him.
A lifetime is both long and short. Almost at the moment when "Lin Zhen" closed his eyes, Lin Zhen also closed his eyes...
