Since there is nothing that can be done, listening to these stories is nothing short of torture.
Lin silently took out a pocket watch, glanced at it, and put it back into her spatial storage. Then she tugged at Shiguang's sleeve and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go eat."
Looking back, I noticed that she didn't look well.
He could roughly guess her state of mind at that moment, because his own mood was also quite unsettled.
It seems they really did travel to the end of a dynasty, and soon the world will be in chaos.
The natural disaster that occurred two or three months later was the trigger.
He squeezed his wife's hand reassuringly: "Are you hungry? Let's go then."
He then got up, paid the bill at the counter, and left the teahouse with Lin Momo.
Before leaving, Lin Momo also packed up the unfinished melon seeds and peanuts on the table, as well as the two plates of snacks.
The main principle is that not a single grain of food should be wasted.
*
Hongyun Restaurant.
A private room facing the street.
There weren't many diners in the restaurant yet, and most of the dishes Lin Momo ordered had already been served.
The two ate the food while talking in hushed tones.
“I asked Uncle Li, and he said that during the mourning period at home, one cannot visit relatives and friends within 100 days. After 100 days, normal interactions between relatives are allowed as long as one does not attend banquets.”
Shi Guang shared what he had found out and then suggested, "Why don't we go back to Linjia Village tomorrow? After we have dinner, we can go to town and buy some gifts."
Lin thought for a moment and then said hesitantly, "I heard from Xiao Miao that the family is planning to pay respects to the old man the day after tomorrow. After the ceremony, they will return to the county. Why don't we make another trip to Linjia Village after the family leaves?"
This way, you won't have to report to them every time you go out.
"However, after we get back this afternoon, let's write a letter and have Uncle Li deliver it. Let Grandfather know we're back, and we'll visit him in a few days. That way, he won't have to worry about us."
There's nothing urgent anyway, so a few days later won't make a difference.
"Alright, let's send a letter first, and then send some gifts along with it."
The matter has been agreed upon.
Lin Momo then remembered another matter: "What should we do about Cui Liu? She's probably a spy that your stepmother planted around us."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Shi Guang, "Besides, she might also be thinking of making her your concubine. Now you can enjoy the blessing of having two women at once."
"What do you mean by 'having the best of both worlds'? I've never had such thoughts. You can't wrong me."
Shi Guang smiled helplessly and, in a conciliatory manner, placed a lamb chop on his wife's plate, saying, "Just return it to her when the Shi family leaves."
Lin Momo said incredulously, "Give it back? You make it sound so easy, how are you going to give it back?"
Isn't it said that one should not refuse a gift from an elder?
Even if you want to return it, the stepmother has to be willing to take it back first.
"You don't need to worry about that. All you need to know is that that girl won't disturb our married life," Shi Guang said confidently.
Isn't this easy to deliver?
His father was eager to take him back.
Since Madam Ding has ill intentions and wants to use that girl to sow discord between the couple, then don't blame him for striking back.
"Alright, then it's up to you to take action."
Since time has a way of throwing this hot potato back, Lin Momo is happy to be free of trouble.
They focused intently on savoring the food.
This restaurant makes several of its signature dishes very well.
Lin Momo ordered five more portions, asking the restaurant to pack them in food boxes, saying she wanted to take them home for her family to try.
He then rewarded the waiter with another twenty copper coins.
The young man happily went to relay the message to the kitchen.
After a hearty meal, the two left the restaurant carrying their food boxes.
The meal cost six taels of silver, and the shopkeeper was all smiles. He eagerly asked them if they needed any help from the shop's staff to carry the food boxes.
Time smiled and politely declined.
If he asks the waiter to help carry it, how will his wife put the food box into his spatial storage?
After leaving the restaurant, the two tacitly walked into a secluded alley.
While Shi Guang Wang Feng was in charge of putting the food boxes into his spatial storage, Lin Momo was responsible for placing them inside.
When they came out again, the two no longer had the food box in their hands.
However, Shiguang was carrying a bamboo cage, which he was preparing to put something in.
The two returned to the main street, visited several shops, bought some gifts for Grandpa Lin, and then carried the things home.
However, the two were happily heading home when an unexpected problem arose on the way.
"Oh my, whose young lady is so beautiful? Come home with me, and I'll make sure you live a life of luxury."
Suddenly, a slick-haired, rich young master appeared out of nowhere and blocked Lin Momo's path with a smug grin.
He looked like he'd never seen a beautiful woman in his life, and drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Lin Momo gave him a disgusted look and then looked away.
She never expected that she would be the one to be harassed by a respectable woman.
This young master is fairly good-looking, but he's wasting his good looks.
This person is probably mentally ill.
She dared to flirt with her even with her husband right beside her.
Upon hearing this, Shi Guang frowned, immediately shielded his wife behind him, and handed the bamboo cage in his hand to Lin Momo.
He freed his hands to teach this brat a lesson.
He dared to flirt with my wife right in front of me.
Do you think I'm dead?
"Get out of my way, or I'll have someone beat you up."
The young scoundrel didn't take time seriously, because he had brought six thugs with him this time. Anyone with a sense of propriety would have run away long ago.
Is a wife more important than one's life?
"That's right, if you don't want to get beaten to death, you'd better get out of our young master's way."
