When it was evening, Liu He tidied his clothes and walked towards the Lin family with a nervous mood.
Village chief Liu and his wife thought that it was so late, and even if their son wanted to ask, he would have to wait until tomorrow, so they went to bed early.
Thinking of getting a good night's rest so that he could support his son tomorrow, Liu He lost his temper and went to the Lin family that night.
Liu He stood at the gate of the Lin family, looking at the courtyard gate, feeling very complicated.
After standing at the door for a long time, Liu He finally mustered up the courage to knock on the Lin family's gate.
The house rented by the Lin family was already in a dilapidated state. The so-called courtyard gate was just a piece of wood board that could be removed with a little force.
After knocking for a while, there was finally movement in the yard.
"Who is it? It's late at night, can't you let me rest?"
Liu Xiaohua came out of the house cursing.
Liu He stood at the door, listening to Liu Xiaohua's complaints, and felt inexplicably angry.
But thinking that he still had something to ask, he held back from getting angry.
"Aunt, it's me, Liu He. I'm here to look for Jin Lian."
When Liu Xiaohua saw that the person coming was Liu He, she thought of her daughter who was now dating the county magistrate's son, and was worrying about how to get rid of this big trouble, Liu He.
I didn't expect Liuhe to come to my door so soon.
"It's Liu He. Why are you here so late at night? Is there something wrong?"
In the past, Liu Xiaohua was always very attentive to Liu He, but now that Lin Jinlian had established a relationship with the county magistrate's son, she naturally had no good face for Liu He.
"Aunt, I'm here to see Jinlian. I have something to ask her."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaohua looked at Liu He with disdain.
I was too narrow-minded before, thinking that the village chief's son was the best candidate for a son-in-law. Now it seems that my daughter has a long-term vision and only regards Liu He as a backup.
"Wait, I'll call you."
Liu Xiaohua turned around and went back to the house with a look of contempt, twisting her round buttocks.
Liu Xiaohua's eyes were naturally seen by Liu He.
Liu He was not a fool. Seeing that Liu Xiaohua treated him completely differently now than before, he knew in his heart that what his father said was probably true.
After figuring all this out, Liu He didn't wait outside the door foolishly, but followed Liu Xiaohua into the yard.
In the past, out of concern for Lin Jinlian's reputation, Liu He never entered the Lin family's gate when he came to visit, for fear that the villagers would find out and gossip about Lin Jinlian behind her back.
Of course, this is also what Lin Jinlian meant.
But now, Lin Jinlian wanted to get rid of Liu He, but Liu He didn't care.
Not long after, Liu Xiaohua called Lin Jinlian out, along with Lin Dongming and his son.
"Liu He, it's so late, what are you doing here? You're not afraid of what others will gossip about, but I am."
Lin Jinlian frowned, obviously very unwelcome to Liu He's arrival.
When Liu He heard Lin Jinlian's words, he also frowned.
"Jinlian, it's dark now, and there aren't many people around. No one will gossip about you, so you don't have to worry about your reputation. I came here just to ask you something, and I'll leave after I'm done."
"Are you free now? Let's talk outside."
Lin Jinlian was not stupid, on the contrary, she was quite smart. She knew that Liu He came to see her, so she must have known what happened in the town today.
He was afraid that if he went out with Liu He, Liu He would do something bad to him.
But he couldn't stop Liu He from speaking, so for the sake of rights, he had to let Liu He speak in his own yard.
At least, if something happens in your own yard, you have family members to help you.
"It's so late now. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it here."
Liu He frowned.
"Here? This isn't a good idea, is it?"
There are some questions that Liu He still wants to ask Lin Jinlian alone.
"What's wrong with that? Jinlian is our daughter. What do you want to do by taking her out in the middle of the night? Are you being a hooligan?"
When Liu He heard this, his anger rose rapidly.
"Auntie, why are you talking so harshly? I've been in the village for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am, Liu He?"
"If I wanted to do something bad to Jinlian, why would I have waited until now?"
Liu Xiaohua curled her lips.
"Who knows? You can only know a person's face but not his heart. What if you knew that the county magistrate's son had set his eyes on my Jinlian and he became desperate?"
Liu He heard from Village Chief Liu at home that the county magistrate's son had taken a fancy to Lin Jinlian, but Liu He still didn't believe it.
Hearing Liu Xiaohua say the same thing, Liu He was still deceiving himself and unwilling to believe it.
"The county magistrate's son has taken a fancy to Jinlian?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaohua raised her head proudly.
"Of course not. My Jinlian is so beautiful. Is it any wonder that the county magistrate's son has taken a fancy to her?"
When Liu Xiaohua saw Liu He lowering his head, she thought that Liu He was ashamed of himself and became even more proud.
"Liu He, you are not the same kind of person as my Jin Lian. My Jin Lian also looks down on you, a country bumpkin..."
"Shut up!"
Liu He interrupted Lin Liu Xiaohua before she could finish her words.
Liu Xiaohua was also startled by Liu He's sudden roar. After she realized what was happening, she started to sneer and mock him.
"Liu He, do you think you're so great just because you're the village chief's son? Do you think we'll still be as cautious and try to please you as before? Just to prevent you from driving our family out of the village?"
"I'm telling you, our Lin family is no longer the same as it used to be! We now have the County Magistrate's son as our backer, so we're not afraid of you anymore!"
Liu He's ears were filled with Liu Xiaohua's sarcastic words, and he wished he could go up and beat Liu Xiaohua up right now!
But when he saw Lin Jinlian standing in front of him, he endured it.
"Jinlian, I don't believe anything they say. I just want to hear you say it. Tell me, it's not like what they say. You didn't fall in love with the county magistrate's son!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinlian looked at Liu He with an apologetic expression.
When Liu He saw Lin Jinlian's expression, he knew that what Liu Xiaohua and his father said was true.
"Speak!"
Liu He roared, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction, but also as if he was expecting to hear a different answer.
"Liu He, everything my mother said is true! You... I'm sorry."
Lin Jinlian lowered her head after she finished speaking.
After hearing this, Liu He's eyes turned red, and he shook his head frantically. He took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Jinlian's arms.
"Jinlian, you're lying! You clearly said before that I'm the one you love most in this world! I'm the one you love most!"
"By the way, did the county magistrate threaten you? Did you agree to it out of necessity? That must be the case."
