The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away
Chapter 17 Meeting the Elders
"Are the oil residue sugar cakes ready, second sister?"
Fubao ran to the small kitchen first and rushed to Lin Acai, his little face covered in sweat.
"Can you smell the fragrance, little greedy cat? You have a very sharp nose." Lin Acai picked up a piece of cake, tore it in half, and handed it to Fubao Kangbao, "Be careful...be careful not to burn yourself."
"Hmm..." The two children nodded.
"Let's go... continue catching dragonflies."
They caught dragonflies and fed them to Aunt Li's chickens, and her chickens liked to eat the dragonflies they caught.
As the two children talked, they ran out in a hurry.
"You are really good... I didn't expect the net you made to be so popular. These two naughty kids started catching dragonflies at dawn, and they don't feel tired. Remind them later that the sun is out and they can't go out again, or their faces will be tanned like coal balls."
Lin Acai deliberately complained to Xiao Jue in a joking manner.
Xiao Jue smiled but said nothing.
This dragonfly catching net was his favorite when he was a child. When he was this age, he always liked to pester his parents to take him to catch dragonflies.
He suddenly had the illusion of returning to his childhood, and that warm and happy scene unconsciously appeared before his eyes.
Had breakfast.
Lin Acai turned around and went to the next room to observe and ask about Dazhuang's sister-in-law's recent situation.
Seeing that everything was back to normal, he slowly walked back.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a person standing in front of the window. The person was hunched over and looking at Xiao Jue who was resting on the kang in the room.
"Master...why are you here?" Lin Acai was stunned.
Xiao Jue, who was in the room, also heard the sound and sat up from the kang and looked at the person outside the window.
"I heard from your aunt that you have chosen a husband for yourself?" Master Lin withdrew his gaze from the man in the room, and there was a hint of unkindness in his tone.
"Master, please come in!" Lin Acai took the initiative to invite her master into the house.
Old Master Lin waved his hand and slowly turned around: "Just sit under the plum tree for a while. I have something to tell you."
Lin Acai didn't give way and followed her grandfather to the plum tree.
The lonely figure of an old man slowly appeared before her eyes.
And just now she clearly saw how haggard the master's face was.
But no wonder.
How many people can withstand the blow of losing their only son and their favorite grandson?
After sitting down under the tree, Mr. Lin lit up the pipe in his hand and cleared his throat: "Second girl... I'm sorry for you..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Acai knew that this man was not blaming her for what had happened before.
Lin Acai walked over and comforted him, "Grandpa... Although there is no news about my father and elder brother, there is no guarantee that they may still be alive. You have to cheer up. As long as you don't see the bodies of father and elder brother with your own eyes, there is still hope."
"…Alas, silly child, I used to go hunting in the mountains all the time. I know what the situation is like in the mountains better than anyone else. I don't want to miss you anymore. At this age, what I am most worried about now is you and your two brothers."
Old Master Lin took a puff of his cigarette and looked deeply at the two children chasing and playing in the distance.
"…Your hind mother asked me to divorce her. I didn't expect that after all these years, I would see through this heartless woman. It was all my fault for being blind and marrying such a vicious woman. She almost caused a disaster."
Old Master Lin wiped his tears as he spoke. He was really scared. When he heard the matchmaker Wang coming to his house and talking about the twenty taels of silver, he almost suffocated and passed out.
It turned out that this vicious woman had sold his granddaughter to someone else as a concubine behind his back.
She also lied to him and said that it was a very good family and that the second girl would definitely be able to enjoy a happy life if she married into the family without having to worry about food and drink.
It's just fart!
"What a fool I am!"
Thinking of this, Grandpa Lin burst into tears. This short month had been a real drain on him. The continuous blows had left him in a daze, and he was completely unaware that his granddaughter was almost ruined.
It was not until Matchmaker Wang came to him and told him everything that he suddenly realized.
"Grandpa... since you didn't know about this, your granddaughter doesn't blame you. You see, I'm fine now, and I'm taking good care of my brothers. You don't have to worry."
Lin Acai continued to comfort her.
"I plan to use the money from selling the piglets to pay for my brothers' schooling. I also want to collect some more money to open a store in the city in a while."
In order to reassure Mr. Lin, Lin Acai told him about her future plans.
"Are you going to stay with the son-in-law you like?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin looked at the room again.
"...Well...I do have this plan." Lin Acai thought about it and decided to continue the conversation. If she said that she wanted to open a shop on her own, the master probably wouldn't agree.
"What kind of person is this boy? Does his family know about your marriage?" As he spoke, Mr. Lin's pipe was empty, and he subconsciously lowered his head and knocked on the pipe.
"Master... He is not only a good person, but also good-looking. He can read and write. He has taught Fubao and Kangbao to recognize a lot of words in the past few days."
This is not untrue. Whenever Xiao Jue has nothing to do, he would call the two little kids into the house, dip his fingers in water, write on the table, and ask them to recognize them.
"Call the person out so I can take a good look..." Old Master Lin was worried, but he didn't think so. After all, she was a little girl and it was easy for her to be deceived by appearance and led by the nose.
He has lived to such an old age and has seen and heard all kinds of things. How many women have been let down by men, wasted their lives and even lost their lives because of this.
So what if her granddaughter had a bad reputation?
As long as he is alive, he must keep a good eye on his granddaughter. Even if no one dares to marry her in the future, he can't just find someone to marry her to.
house.
Xiao Jue suddenly felt a little nervous.
He saw that the grandparents and grandchildren got along harmoniously and there was no tension between them.
He felt that he must pay attention to this old man Lin.
He took out all his clothes, chose the one that suited him best and put it on, then he fixed his hair and finally mustered up the courage to walk out the door.
Lin Acai couldn't help but sigh when she saw that people had already come out.
They were quite in tune with each other. Just as she was about to speak, he came out on his own.
Walking under the plum tree, Xiao Jue bowed.
His manner of greeting was very proper.
It is completely in accordance with the rules of officials and families in the capital.
Seeing this, Lin Acai suddenly stood up, and before her grandfather could ask, she acted as a mouthpiece for the two of them:
"This is my grandfather... This is my future husband..."
"Mr. Lin... My last name is Xiao Jue, and I am from Beijing. Currently, my family is..."
Lin Acai stood beside Xiao Jue without saying a word.
Here he comes again. This guy introduces himself in detail.
How many times has this happened?
She almost vomited...
