Wu Cuiying snorted again. She even suspected that giving a large sum of money to her husband to learn from Wu the carpenter was a lie, and that there might be other deals involved!
"You'd better watch yourself!" She walked away coldly, leaving Lin Erluo there alone, furious.
Suddenly, a boy rushed out of the house, angrily saying, "Mom, you're not allowed to talk about my dad! You're not family, why are you making my dad angry!"
The child was very strong and had a sturdy head. He suddenly rushed over, and even Wu Cuiying, who worked in the fields all year round, couldn't withstand it. Her head hit the door behind her.
Lin Erluo's work was rather rough to begin with, and there were some burrs on the door frame, which is why the door got stuck.
When Wu Cuiying touched the bloodstains on her back, her face turned pale instantly, and her hands trembled.
Outside, the child was still showing off to his father, and Lin Erluo was also praising his son.
"Well done. Since when has our family fallen into the hands of your mother?"
Inside the main room, Old Master Lin was talking to Old Madam Lin.
Hearing the commotion outside, Old Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes: "They just can't seem to find a moment of peace."
"Our ancestors were really something, insisting that Linjia Village live in the barren mountains. I've seen many families move their belongings there."
"The desolate mountains are full of ferocious tigers and wild beasts, as well as many unseen poisonous insects. The roads are also very difficult to travel, and it may take a whole day to walk down the mountain. What's so good about it? It's not as convenient as here."
Grandpa Lin sat by the window in silence. Although he also thought his ancestor's decision was absurd, everyone else in the Lin family had already decided to move there. If they were the only ones left, would Lin Family Village still be Lin Family Village?
"Old woman, is that really what the eldest son said before? He said that after he passed the imperial examination, he would take us to live in the county town?"
Grandpa Lin confirmed it again.
Grandma Lin nodded repeatedly, her face full of pride: "Of course, our eldest son was too embarrassed to ask, so he had his granddaughter tell us secretly."
"They've already personally promised, how could they be lying? We'll be living in the county town then, a completely different experience from these country bumpkins!"
"Let them go live in the desolate mountains! We'll live a life of luxury in the county town, and when our son becomes a scholar, we'll be the parents of a scholar!"
Grandma Lin looked on with anticipation.
Hearing this, Grandpa Lin next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. Life in the county town is definitely better than in the village. Whoever wants to go to that desolate, godforsaken place can go!
"Mother, Mother, have you seen Cuiying? Where did she run off to? There's a limit to being angry, isn't there? She really isn't going to help me with the work anymore?" Lin Erluo rushed in from outside, still holding tools in his hand.
