Chapter 142 Mother, I Won’t Marry
When Cuicui heard that they were going to look for Muramasa, she was so angry.
It was clearly they who broke their promise first, so why are they asking her for money now?
The two women who came with Cuicui had originally taken the Lin family's carriage together when they went to the county. They were late when they came back and happened to meet Mu Yunzhao and Cuicui. After asking them, they found out that the Lin family's carriage had already left.
In order to save the two cents in travel expenses, they usually walked to the county.
They were already very satisfied that they could take the Lin family's carriage when they went there. Even if the Lin family did not wait for them, it was understandable, because they came back late.
Cuicui suggested settling accounts with the Lin family, but they were reluctant at first.
But after being persuaded by Mu Yunzhao with a few words, he followed Cuicui.
Now seeing Cuicui making a fuss, they suddenly realized how embarrassing it was.
The carriage belonged to the Lin family, and the Lin family could let whoever they wanted ride on it. It was because they arrived at the city gate late, so it was reasonable for the Lin family not to wait for them.
What right do they have to blame the Lin family?
"Cui Cui, let's go quickly."
The two women went to pull Cuicui.
Cuicui became even more anxious and said, "You are such cowards! What's there to be afraid of when you're just a criminal from outside?"
The woman felt even more ashamed, "We were wrong in the first place, why bother?"
"I just don't like them, so what? If they don't give me money, I won't leave."
Seeing that Cuicui was unreasonable, the two women apologized to the Lin family and left the Lin family.
Cui Cui suddenly saw that there were six dishes on the Lin family’s dining table, four of which were meat dishes, and her eyes widened.
As she had guessed, this Lord Lin was a corrupt official who had been exiled.
Otherwise, how could their family afford to buy a carriage and eat and drink delicious food when they came to the exile place?
Cuicui was about to sit down, but Chai Ya behind her moved the chair away.
Cui Cui sat down on the ground, and her butt hurt.
"How dare you..."
"Why shouldn't we dare to deal with a scoundrel like you?" Chai Ya said angrily.
Lin Zhiyi was also very impatient. Her good mood was ruined by this kind of person. "Chai Ya, kick her out."
Chai Ya received the order, picked up Cuicui from the ground, dragged her out of the door, and shouted:
"Everyone, come and catch this thief! This guy stole from our house and even dared to argue and blame others after being caught. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone this arrogant! Neighbors, please be careful!"
Chai Ya's loud voice frightened Cui Cui so much that she quickly said, "You're talking nonsense."
She wanted to cover Chai Ya's mouth, but she was not as strong as Chai Ya and could not get close to her.
She glanced around and saw that no villagers were passing by at noon. If she continued to shout like this, it wouldn't be long before all the neighbors would be called out.
She'd better run away quickly, lest the villagers come out and really mistake her for a thief.
Seeing Cuicui walk away dejectedly, Chai Ya finally smiled.
She spat on the ground, "Pah! What the hell!"
After Chai Ya went in, Mu Yunzhao also came out from the alley opposite. She glanced at the direction Cuicui went and cursed her inwardly as a waste.
In the house.
"Mom, anyone who wants to ride in our carriage in the future will have to pay." Lin Zhiyi said.
Mrs. Song: "Isn't this a bad idea? We are all from the same village."
Lin Xiuyan's face was grim. "What's wrong with this? If I hadn't been kind today, how could I have been harassed by such a scoundrel? If anyone asks, tell them what happened today."
Mrs. Song sighed softly, "Well, who knew there were people like this in the village."
It was even more tiring than dealing with those noble ladies in Chang'an. At least they still had their dignity, but this girl today had no dignity at all.
But Lin Zhiyi didn't think so. She felt that someone like Cuicui wouldn't be able to make any waves.
Besides, Cuicui wouldn't come to my house for no reason. Even if it was because I didn't give her a ride today, she shouldn't come to me to look for trouble because of this matter.
But one thing might be...
After dinner, Lin Zhiyi called Fang Mama aside and said, "Nanny, go ask the villagers who Cuicui usually interacts with the most."
Mother Fang agreed.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhiyi was feeding the ducks in the yard. When she was telling Chai Ya how to feed them, Aunt Zhao came in and asked, "Girl, is your mother in the house?"
Lin Zhiyi suddenly remembered that Aunt Zhao was going to matchmake her for someone new. She had planned to tell her mother about it as soon as she got back, but she had forgotten about it for a moment.
Is it too late to say it now?
"Aunt Zhao, my mother..."
Just as she was about to say she wasn't in, she heard Madam Song's voice coming from the main room, "Sister-in-law Zhao is here, come in quickly."
Aunt Zhao walked quickly into the house.
Lin Zhiyi also followed him into the house, and heard Sister Zhao say, "Sister Song, I'll tell you in detail about what I mentioned today."
Lin Zhiyi: "Mom, I won't get married."
Mrs. Song paused, smiled awkwardly at Aunt Zhao, and then pulled Lin Zhiyi aside to talk.
"Zhizhi, Zhao Zhiyuan is a scholar. It's not easy for a family like ours to find someone with a good academic record. You're not still thinking about Qin Lang, are you?"
"How could that be, mother? I just simply don't want to get married."
"No! I can't bear to see you die alone. It will hurt me." Mrs. Song sighed.
Lin Zhiyi knew that Mrs. Song was doing this for her own good. "Mom, I don't like him. Do you want me to marry a stranger I've never met?"
"That won't happen. I have to understand his character first."
"Mother, if I tell you that in five years our Lin family will be vindicated and return to Chang'an, will you still let your daughter marry Zhao Zhiyuan?"
Mrs. Song's eyes were filled with shock. "Really? How did you know?"
"After the Lin family's incident, my daughter went to Fahua Temple. The abbot of Fahua Temple helped my daughter interpret the fortune."
Lin Zhiyi made up a story.
Anyway, Mrs. Song couldn't leave Fangzhou, and she couldn't go to Fahua Temple to ask.
"Really? You didn't coax your mother?" Mrs. Song's eyes were full of hope.
The abbot of Fahua Temple has always been accurate in his interpretation of divinations. If it comes from him, it will be almost correct.
So, there is still hope for their Lin family?
Why would the daughter marry Zhao Zhiyuan?
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Fahua Temple and ask."
Even if Mrs. Song asked again, it would be five years later, and she could just make up an excuse that she didn't want to get married.
Mrs. Song believed it.
She calculated the time. Five years later, Zhizhi would only be 24 years old. Although she was a little older, Chang'an was so big that she would not have difficulty finding a good marriage partner.
At least he is better than a scholar.
Aunt Zhao, who was standing aside, was very nervous. The mother and daughter had been whispering to each other for a long time, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Her intuition was that Miss Lin was not willing to accept this marriage.
After waiting for a while, she saw Song Ruolan come out and asked, "How is it?"
"Sister Zhao, I'm so sorry. I've spoiled this child. She suffered a lot the last time she got married. Now she refuses to get married no matter what, saying she wants to live with her parents in the future."
She sighed: "But then again, as long as my child is happy, I, as a mother, will be content."
