Lin Yunchu put her thoughts aside and quickly followed her father, who was walking in front of her and gradually getting farther away from her.
After returning home, Lin's father and his friends had their meal, and then the Lin family began to clean the mushrooms and bamboo shoot shells in the yard.
The next morning.
Father Lin sent Lin Changting and Lin Yunchu to the old man Niu's ox cart. After watching the ox cart go away, he turned around and went home to get a hoe to go to the fields.
This time, Lin's father did not go to the town with them. After going there a few times, Lin Changting and Lin Yunchu also knew the way.
Moreover, one more person means one more coin for the ox cart fare, which will cause people in the village to talk about it.
Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting had a smooth journey. They went to the town with Lin's father several times, and they rode in the village's ox cart, so there was nothing to worry about.
When they arrived at Yipintang, Manager Zhou was very enthusiastic towards Lin Yunchu. The business of Yipintang had been very good in the past two days, and many people came for these two dishes.
Lin Yunchu was right at the beginning. What the rich families in this town lacked was not money, but something new to try.
Shopkeeper Zhou warmly asked Chuanzi to weigh the mushrooms and bamboo shoots that Lin Yunchu and his friend brought. After paying the money, he sent Lin Yunchu to the door of the restaurant with a smile on his face.
Seeing the mushrooms and bamboo shoots that Lin Yunchu sent over today, I felt that Yipintang’s business would be stable in the next two days.
Piaoxianglou, which had driven out Lin Yunchu and others, was now in a panic.
"You all need to find out where those dishes at Yipin Pavilion come from."
"Haven't you seen that they've taken away all the business from our restaurant?"
"You're all just eating for free, and you're not smart enough. If I can't find you, get out of here."
Yipintang has a chef from somewhere who knows where he got the new dishes these days, but he has attracted many of Piaoxianglou's old customers.
Seeing that the restaurant was getting worse day by day, the owner became anxious and sent all the waiters out to inquire about the news.
Lin Yunchu had long forgotten about this matter. He took the money that Manager Zhou paid and went to buy meat and daily necessities for his family.
The two men finished their shopping at the market and were about to head to the city gate. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to take the old man's ox cart back to the village.
Suddenly, he was stopped by a sneer: "Who am I thinking? Isn't this the poor eldest son of the Lin family?"
Lin Yunchu frowned slightly, turned around, and saw two men who looked a few years older than her brother.
They were all wearing coarse cloth clothes and looked like they were from farming families, but they stared at Lin Changting with such a contemptuous tone.
"Why, is the Lin family so poor that you have to beg for food?"
"That's right. With the Lin family's conditions, if I don't come out to beg for food, I'm afraid I'll starve to death."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Lin Yunchu tried hard to recall, but still couldn't figure out who this person was. He shouldn't be from Qingxi Village, as he looked unfamiliar.
Lin Changting glanced at the other person and didn't want to pay any attention to him. He pulled Lin Yunchu's sleeve and was about to turn around and leave.
But when the other party saw that Lin Changting was unmoved and wanted to leave, he immediately rushed in front of Lin Changting and said with a sneer:
"Fortunately, my sister broke off the engagement with you. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of suffering I would have endured if I had married into your Lin family."
Girl?
Break off the engagement?
Lin Yunchu suddenly understood something. Could it be the girl who broke off his eldest brother's marriage?
So is this person a relative of hers?
"Since our two families have broken off the engagement, your sister naturally doesn't have to marry into the Lin family and suffer. We don't have to greet each other if we meet in the future."
Lin Changting's tone was a little indifferent. When his engagement was just broken off, he was quite angry. He was a grown man, but the girl's family broke off the engagement for him, and he always despised the Lin family for being poor.
However, the Lin family was indeed poor at that time, but most families in the village were not rich. He thought that after he got married, he would work harder, and the family's life would get better in the future.
But who would have thought that the girl's family who came over would break off the engagement and say so many nasty words to the Lin family.
However, these days, he followed Lin Yunchu into the mountains or followed his father to the fields, and he had figured these things out.
It was a good thing for him that the girl broke off the engagement because she disliked the poverty of the Lin family. If he really got married with a woman who could not share the joys and sorrows with him, the family would not have peace.
"Brother, who is this person...?"
Lin Yunchu was a little confused and didn't know who this person was from the family that canceled his eldest brother's marriage.
Lin Changting glanced at the man, turned his head and said to Lin Yunchu lightly:
"It's her eldest brother. He also came to our house when he broke off the engagement."
Lin Yunchu understood, although he didn't have much impression. However, looking at the other party's smug expression, he sneered at it.
These days, the Lin family kept silent about the eldest brother's arranged marriage, and after a long time, Lin Yunchu also forgot about it.
I didn't expect to run into him in town today, and see him making fun of me like this.
She had never seen the girl who was engaged to her eldest brother before, but she heard that she came with him on the day of the cancellation of the engagement. She didn't say much and tacitly agreed to cancel the engagement with her eldest brother.
When she met her elder brother today, he had the same attitude again. I guess when he broke off the engagement with Lin Changting, he was afraid that the Lin family would be poor and they would not be able to live a good life.
"Why are you pretending? Everyone knows that your Lin family is so poor that they can't even take out a copper coin. Fortunately, my sister broke off the engagement with you, otherwise I would have to go out begging with you today."
This man kept calling himself a beggar, and Lin Yunchu's face immediately darkened. More and more people gathered around them, pointing and talking at Lin Changting.
Lin Yunchu coughed lightly and said with a smile:
"Of course. We are poor and we dare not delay your sister's marriage. That's why when your family came to cancel the engagement that day, we told them not to delay your sister's marriage to a richer man. Even if we were begging for food, we would never go to your house, right?"
As soon as Lin Yunchu said this, the people around him immediately understood what he meant. It turned out that this man's sister despised the poor and loved the rich, so she broke off the arranged marriage and wanted to marry into a richer family.
No one was trying to stop him, so why was he still making sarcastic remarks when he met her?
The man opposite blushed, pointing at the people around him and yelling, "What do you know? My sister won't break off the engagement. Does that mean she'll have to live a life of poverty and hardship with him?"
After saying that, he pulled the man next to him, pushed through the crowd, and fled in a hurry.
Lin Yunchu didn't want to stand here and be treated like a monkey, so he pulled Lin Changting and rushed to the city gate.
"Brother, things are getting better at home now. When I get back, I'll talk to mother and find you another marriage."
Lin Yunchu thought for a long time but still didn't know how to comfort Lin Changting.
