"Yeah, this is telling you about love!"
"You're not young anymore! Miss Lin will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year. It's okay to arrange a marriage early and get married in two years!"
In the end, Chen Li was forced to flee from them and ran back home to hide away.
He leaned against the door frame to take a breath, his hands slowly clenched into fists. He also wanted to arrange a marriage, but now was not the right time.
When Shen Mo came in, he was stunned by his absent-minded look and asked, "What's wrong, brother? What happened?"
Shen Li shook his head, raised his hand to rub his head, and sat down at the table.
"I'm fine. How's your martial arts training going lately?"
"I have made some progress, but I still need to improve my riding and archery skills."
"Well, take your time. Don't fall behind in your studies. And be careful when you go out at night."
"Okay, I understand. I just heard from the villagers that they want to find you a wife. Is it Lin Wan?"
"My mother will not give up my marriage. Lin Wan has already established a female household. Mother will not agree to this marriage. I will take the provincial examination next year, and there can't be any trouble at home."
"Brother, if you really want to..."
Shen Li raised his hand to interrupt him, "That girl is still young, it's not the time to talk about marriage, let her have fun happily for another two years!"
"Brother! I mean, do you like her or not!"
Shen Li thought about it seriously for a while, and said: "I have never been involved in love between men and women. I just take care of Wan Yatou like a younger sister. However, if she likes someone else, I will probably be jealous."
Shen Mo understood.
"Then brother, just focus on preparing for the exam, and we'll talk about the future later."
"Well, that's all I can do."
Lin Wanwan and her friends were in a festive mood, putting up spring couplets, wrapping red envelopes, and preparing New Year's Eve dinner. This was also their first New Year in Linjia Village, and everyone was very happy.
Nan Xi and Nan Xing are preparing clothes for Lin Wanwan for tomorrow.
"Sister, has the girl grown taller? I think the pants she wore before are a bit short."
Nan Xi picked up the pants and compared them with her old pants.
"Well, it's indeed too short. I'll measure the girl again next year and make a few new ones."
"The young lady is so kind to us. I didn't get treated so well when I was in Fuping County. The mistress of the host family would always beat us. The master was always lecherous and would touch us. When the mistress saw us, he would take it out on us!"
"It's not easy to meet a good master. We have finally come to this point after all the hardships we have endured. Just take good care of the girl in the future. Maybe I can even find you a good family! Hahahaha..."
"Go to hell! I don't want to get married! It's so good to be with the girl! I will have to endure the torture of my mother-in-law when I go to my husband's house!"
"You! If a girl can find you a family, she will definitely find a good one!"
"Sister, you are older than me, so if I need to find someone, I will look for you first!"
Nan Xi sighed and said, "I used to be the maidservant of the old lady, but the second young master took a fancy to me and chose me as his concubine. But half a year later, the second young master married again and threw me aside. The new wife was also jealous and secretly sold us all. I was pregnant at the time. I was displaced all the way and lost the child. From now on, I just want to accompany the girl and don't want to marry again."
Nan Xing said with red eyes: "Sister, I haven't heard you say that! You... forget it, I won't get married, I will stay with you and accompany the girl in the future!"
"Hahaha, I think you'll want to get married by then!"
"No way! All men are bad! It's better to be with a girl. I eat well and sleep well. I'm more than ten pounds heavier than before!"
"You only know how to eat. Be careful not to become fat! I wonder if girls will take you with them when they go out in the future!"
"I can't help it either. The girl's cooking is so delicious... Shuyun and Er Niang are making something delicious in the kitchen. Shall we go and take a look?"
"Finish your work first, then go!"
"Okay, let's hurry up!"
The kitchen was also bustling with activity. Lin Wanwan and Shuyun were making dumplings, and they put some lucky charms in them.
Lin Shuyun smiled and said, "Girl, this is a great idea. I'll be so happy if I can eat it!"
"We have to pack as much money as we have. If you get money, you can exchange it for one tael of silver from me. If you get fruit like dates or red beans, you can exchange it for one penny of silver. So you have to hide it well when you pack it, and they can't find it!"
They all burst into laughter.
Er Niang chuckled and said, "Miss, you better eat less. If you eat it all, how can we exchange it for silver?"
"Hahaha, that's right, girl, you have to eat less!"
Lin Wanwan hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, I want to eat a few more! I have to make more money next year!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Bai and his group of children were running around the yard. Ermao and Sanmao could hardly keep up with them. They lay on the ground and watched them play wildly, feeling very upset. However, Dahuang and Erhuang were running wildly behind them, not feeling tired at all.
"Xiaobai, look at my little wooden sword! I asked Uncle Liu to make it for me! How is it?"
Lin Bai looked at Lin Leyun's wooden sword, which was bigger than his. He walked over to him and said, "Brother Leyun, how about we switch? I'll just play with it for a while!"
Lin Leyun looked at the small wooden sword he had just obtained and handed it to him with great pain, "Okay, don't forget to return it to me later."
"Brother Le Yun, we have a lot of people now. Let's prepare to launch a surprise attack on Master Nine. Do you want to go?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Leyun clenched the small wooden sword in his hand. Just as he was about to nod, he saw Le An and Le Yan inside.
"Le An and Le Yan, come out. They are still young and can't join in the fun. Xiao Bai, have you forgotten what the girl told you again?"
Lin Bai slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot. Le An, Le Yan, you two go hide in the front. If Master Nine comes, just wave the little wooden sword, okay?"
Lin Le'an and Lin Le'yan nodded heavily and ran to the corner in front to hide.
