Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!"

As soon as Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xiaoshuang and Lin Xiaojun returned home, they found Lin Shu sitting on a stool soaking his feet.

The three of them grinned from ear to ear and kept shouting "Aunt Lin Shu".

Lin Shu's ears were buzzing as they surrounded him. He quickly took out the candies he had prepared earlier and said, "Stop hanging around me. I'm dizzy. Give each of you two candies."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

“This candy is so sweet.”

When the family members came back from work, they were very happy to learn that Lin Shu had sold the Coriolus versicolor and made a lot of money.

But Liu Xiao'e did not say the exact amount of money, mainly because she has children at home, and it is not good to let the children know about this kind of thing, mainly because she is afraid that they will accidentally let it slip when they are playing outside.

After dinner, when his nephews and nieces went to bed, Lin Shu briefly told his family about the process of going to the county town to sell mulberry fungus. After dropping this bombshell, he went back to his room to sleep.

No matter how excited the family was and how they were so excited that they couldn't sleep well all night, it had nothing to do with Lin Shu at the moment.

Thanks to soaking his feet in mugwort water in time, Lin Shu slept well that night and woke up bright and clear.

When she got up, everyone in the family had already gone to work or school.

I had just finished breakfast and was about to go out with my tools when Lin Mei came to my door with a shy look on her face.

"Lin Shu..."

Lin Shu frowned slightly: "Why are you coming to my house instead of going to work?"

Especially, why is she looking so shy?

"Lin Shu, where did you go yesterday?"

"Why should I tell you where I was?"

After hearing this, Lin Mei lowered her head and sighed, "Yesterday I thought you went to see Brother Chunlei, and I wanted to go out with you, but you left early."

Lin Shu didn't know what she wanted to express, so he was too lazy to speak and just watched her performance leisurely.

"......" Seeing that she didn't respond, Lin Mei smiled and said, "My mother asked me to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things yesterday. I met Brother Chunlei at the supply and marketing cooperative and realized that you didn't go to find her."

"I'm sorry, Lin Shu, I misunderstood you yesterday."

Seeing her lustful look, Lin Shu said with disgust: "How the relationship between you and Jie Chunlei develops is your business, don't involve me."

Lin Mei's smile remained on her face. "Actually, I don't want you to have anything to do with him either. But when Chun Lei sent me back yesterday, he asked me to pass on a message to you. He said he would come to see you today and asked you to wait for him at home."

"What do you mean?" He had already told her that it was impossible to be with him, but he still asked her to wait for him at home.

Moreover, no matter how Lin Shu looked at it, he felt that this girl came here today just to show off, and passing on the message was just an excuse to come and find her.

Lin Mei shook her head: "I don't know either. Maybe Brother Chunlei wants to explain it to you. After all... you two have been childhood sweethearts since you were little."

Lin Shu couldn't sit still anymore. "Are you done?"

"Ah?" Lin Mei looked at her in confusion.

"Now that you've finished talking, go back. I still have to go collect grass for pigs!" Lin Shu ordered them to leave.

"Lin Shu, didn't I tell you that Brother Chunlei was coming to see you today? Why did you still go out? What if Brother Chunlei comes after you go out, wouldn't it be a wasted trip for him?" Lin Mei became anxious when she saw Lin Shu holding the basket and pushing her out of the door.

Lin Shu finally pushed the person out of the door, and before he could lock the door, he saw a tall figure walking towards him from the corner of the street.

Well, there is no way to avoid it even if you want to.

Lin Mei also noticed the figure and ran over excitedly, "Brother Chunlei, you're here so early, have you had breakfast?"

Xie Chunlei smiled and said, "I came here after having breakfast."

"Brother Chunlei, I have done what you asked me to do. My cousin was about to go out, but I stopped her in time."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Brother Chunlei, I'm not tired. I will definitely try my best to do what you ask me to do."

Lin Shu folded his arms across his chest, leaned against the door frame, and watched the two of them get along harmoniously.

"Lin Shu, long time no see. I brought your favorite glutinous rice noodles."

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Mei's slightly unnatural smile, then looked at Jie Chunlei's gentle smile and the paper bag he handed over. After hesitating for a while, he pushed the door open again and said, "Come in and have a drink of water."

Some things are better discussed face to face, so as not to waste the youth of both parties.

"Okay." Xie Chunlei's smile deepened, but when he noticed the figure following behind him, he turned around and said politely, "Lin Mei, thank you for helping me pass on the message. Lin Shu and I have something to talk about now. You should go and do your work first. Don't delay work."

Lin Mei could no longer maintain the smile on her face and awkwardly asked Lin Shu for help.

But Lin Shu is not a sympathetic person and leaves it to Jie Chunlei to decide whether Lin Mei should stay or leave.

"Okay...Okay, then Brother Chunlei, I won't disturb you and Lin Shu."

Lin Mei looked back every few steps. When she walked out of the door, Lin Shu snorted in his heart and poured a glass of water for Jie Chunlei, "Sit down and drink some water."

"Thank you."

"Why did you think of coming to see me today?" Lin Shu asked directly.

Xie Chunlei put down his teacup and sighed helplessly: "I just feel that I am old enough, so I want to come over and ask you, what are your requirements for marriage?"

Lin Shu had been listening nonchalantly, but after hearing what he said, he sat up straight, "Someone must have heard what I said last time. Do you think I will change my mind by saying this this time?"

"I don't know why you said that at the time, but I think my conditions are pretty good, and we have a foundation of love. Isn't it natural for us to get married?" Xie Chunlei frowned, not knowing why Lin Shu denied him.

emotion?

How many points?

Lin Shu poured himself a glass of water, "How old are you this year?"

Xie Chunlei didn't understand, but he answered honestly: "I'm twenty-two this year. I'm two years older than you. You've always known that."

"Yes, I'm 22 years old. In the countryside, this age is not considered young. Some people who got married early have children who are old enough to help with cooking."

Lin Shu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "According to the verbal agreement, it has been five or six years. During these years, your family does not seem to have any intention of marrying us, otherwise the etiquette of engagement and betrothal would have been completed long ago."

"My mom said that your family wants to keep you at home for a few more years, so there is no rush. If you are in a hurry, can we find an auspicious day and go through the process right away?"

Xie Chunlei scratched his head. He was full of grievances when talking about this matter. He was a young man full of vigor and vitality, but he had a marriage partner but could not get married. He had to wait several years before talking about marriage. Isn't it unfair for him?

Lin Shu shook his head. Your mother said, your mother said. Didn’t he ever doubt what his mother said?

"Lin Shu?"

Lin Shu raised his eyes to look at him and said seriously: "But my family has never made such a request, so, Xie Chunlei, we are not suitable."

"Ah?" Xie Chunlei was dumbfounded.

The Lin family didn't have such a requirement, so wouldn't he have been frustrated for several years in vain?

No... Lin's family didn't ask for it, but his mother said...

Xie Chunlei's face turned pale and bloodless in an instant.

Lin Shu looked into Jie Chunlei's lifeless eyes and sighed softly. To be honest, Jie Chunlei was not bad in both figure and appearance, but he had a strong mother at home, so it was foreseeable that this marriage would be difficult to maintain.

In this case, Lin Shu will not let himself step into the fire pit.

It was this sigh that brought Xie Chunlei back to his senses. He asked unwillingly, "Is there really no chance for us?"

Lin Shu looked away, not wanting to meet his hurt eyes, "Some fates can't be forced."

Forcing will only hurt both parties and make the married life a mess.
