Chapter 56: Still Not Married
As Lin Jingshu spoke, she couldn't help but glance into the pot.
She thought to herself that if Lin Zhiyi admitted her mistake and let her take the stewed pork ribs in the pot away, she would forgive Lin Zhiyi today.
Lin Zhiyi finally understood why the original owner had such weird thoughts.
It turns out it's a family trait.
Her face turned cold and she said, "Second Uncle and Cousin Xiu Ze are right. Since the eldest cousin is so useless and can't even cook, there's a tree over there. Why not just hang herself and put an end to it all, so as not to bring shame to the Lin family?"
"you……"
Lin Jingshu stretched out her hand and wanted to hit Lin Zhiyi.
"Pah~"
But Fang's mother slapped him to the ground.
Lin Jingshu covered her face and glared at Fang's mother.
"How dare you hit me, you lowly slave?"
"What's wrong with hitting you? Get out of here! If you dare to come and cause trouble for my girl again, I'll hit you again.
Our daughter is right. If you can't cook, go learn how to cook. How come you're so stupid that you can't even cook? Do you want everyone who knows how to cook to have their hands chopped off? "
Lin Jingshu wanted to say something when she saw Chai Ya holding a fire poker and about to throw it at her. Lin Jingshu took a few steps back and ran away.
Fang's mother shouted at the second wife in the crowd, "You are so shameless even though you have severed your relationship. I think you are here to extort money from us and use this to blackmail us into giving you a pot of spareribs.
Just forget about it. We'd rather throw the ribs away than give them to those rotten-hearted people."
At this time, Zhao Zhan came over, sword in hand, "Miss Lin, I just heard a quarrel over here, did something happen?"
"It's okay, Brother Zhao. Someone was causing trouble just now and has been chased away."
Zhao Zhan consoled her, "Don't be afraid, Miss Lin. Next time you encounter something like this, ask Sister Chai Ya to call me."
Lin Zhiyi agreed without pretense: "Okay."
When Mother Fang heard Lin Zhiyi call this adult "Brother Zhao", she couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhan for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing Zhao Zhan rolling up his sleeves to help Lin Zhiyi with the work, his liking for him increased even more.
"Girl, go and rest. Let this old slave come."
Mother Fang pushed Lin Zhiyi aside to rest, then approached Zhao Zhan and asked, "Master Zhao looks very kind. I wonder how old he is? Is he married?"
Zhao Zhan was stunned. "Who are you?"
"Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself to you, my lord. I am Miss Lin's mother, my surname is Fang, and I just came to live with my lady today."
"So it's Mother Fang. I heard Miss Lin mention you."
Mother Fang's eyes brightened again. "Really? Did our young lady really mention me?"
Zhao Zhan nodded.
Thinking of Fang Mama's question, he replied, "My name is Zhao Zhan. I'm twenty-four years old and still unmarried."
When Mrs. Fang heard this, she was so happy that her heart burst with joy.
Based on her experience, the way this man looked at the girl was quite interesting. She needed to observe him more. It seemed that this man could be trusted and was much better than Qin Lang, the poor scholar.
Lord Zhao really has a good figure and a good appearance!
"How many people are there in Lord Zhao's family?"
Fang's mother asked again.
Although Zhao Zhan was puzzled as to why Fang's mother asked so many questions, he still answered patiently for Lin Zhiyi's sake, "It's just me. During the famine that year, my parents couldn't bear to eat the little food left at home and gave it all to me. They starved to death..."
Zhao Zhan said calmly.
It seems to be telling someone else's story.
Mother Fang sighed, "What a miserable child."
No wonder he is still unmarried at the age of 24. I’m afraid there is no one in his family to arrange a marriage for him.
However, it is not as good as having in-laws and family. Look at the Qin family. That beast Qin Lang has a mother and brothers, but every one of them is a vampire who will suck the girls of his family hard.
Fortunately, the girl woke up early, otherwise she would have been taken advantage of by them.
It's a pity about her dowry.
However, this is exactly what Fang's mother is curious about. The Qin family has clearly taken away all the girl's dowry, but now they are renting a house and their life is really miserable.
Because Qin Lang shaved his head, the imperial court found out and fined him one year's salary, and his official position was demoted to the eighth rank.
Originally, Minister He said he would never marry his daughter He Jiaojiao to Qin Lang, and even kept asking him for a dowry. But then he heard that an imperial edict from the emperor had reached the He family, granting the marriage between He Jiaojiao and Qin Lang.
When Mother Fang left Chang'an, she passed by Minister He's door and spat at the He family, wishing them a happy marriage and that they would never come to harm their daughter again.
Mother Fang chatted with Zhao Zhan, and soon they became familiar with each other. Mother Fang felt that Zhao Zhan was a good person.
Three large pots of spare ribs were stewed. Lin Zhiyi instructed Chai Ya to serve them in bowls and send them to the people who paid.
Only then did Mother Fang realize that her daughter was so capable and had earned a lot of money just by selling food along the way.
She secretly sighed that their girl had really changed!
Lin Zhiyi came to the carriage with a food box in one hand.
When passing through the town, Lin Zhiyi took out a lot of food from the space and put it on the carriage. He also took out a lot of kitchen utensils such as bowls and pots, and the carriage suddenly became crowded.
Therefore, Chai Ya and Lin Zhiyi sat in the front to drive the carriage.
Even so, the carriage seemed crowded with Lin Fu and Li Wenjing sitting in it.
It happened that Fang Mama and Dalin arrived in another carriage. Lin Zhiyi suggested that Lin Fu go to Fang Mama's carriage to recuperate.
"Let His Highness go."
Lin Fu suggested.
"Father, Master Li's injury is not as serious as yours. You should go. This way, Chai Ya and Fang Mama will take care of you in the carriage, and your daughter can rest assured."
Li Wenjing glanced at Lin Zhiyi indifferently, with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Lord Lin, Miss Lin is right. You should go. My injury is almost healed. Miss Lin is willing to let me ride in the carriage. Jing is already very satisfied."
Lin Zhiyi looked at Li Wenjing and happened to see that he was also looking at her, so she quickly looked away.
At least he has some good eyesight.
Lin Fu agreed.
Lin Zhiyi carried the food box in one hand and helped Lin Fu get on Fang Mama's carriage.
The carriage that Fang Mama was riding in was the one that was originally driven out from the Qin family. It was very spacious and almost half the size of the one that Lin Zhiyi bought later.
Originally, there was a two-horse carriage, but because the Lin family was now a criminal, Fang Mama considered it for a while and decided to sell the carriage. She used the money to buy things for her exile.
But she didn't expect that Lin Zhiyi had prepared more complete things, and it seemed that she would not need any of these things.
After arranging Lin Fu, Lin Zhiyi returned to the original carriage and placed the spare ribs, white rice, a dish of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, a dish of scrambled eggs, and two bowls of white rice on the wooden table in the carriage.
After she set the table, she wanted to get off the carriage and leave, trying to spend as little time with Li Wenjing as possible.
"Why don't we eat something together?"
Just listen to what Li Wenjing said.
