This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!
Chapter 30 Jiang Lichun and Lin Juan's mother and daughter dispute
"The waters of Honghu Lake, waves crashing against each other, the shores of Honghu Lake, yes, this is my hometown, the boat ride in the early morning..."
As dusk fell, Jiang Lichun left the cafeteria humming a song.
After Jiang Lichun finished his meal, he chatted for a while before heading home. Lin Juan had gone home early, and Jiang Lichun thought she had gone home to heat the kang, but when he got home, the stove and kang were cold, not even a bit warm!
"Juanzi! Juanzi! Why didn't you heat the kang? It's so cold! Why are you so lazy~"
Jiang Lichun complained as he pushed the door open and went out, carrying a bundle of firewood. He put the firewood into the stove, lit it neatly, and added a ladle of cold water to the pot before going into the inner room.
Lin Juan lay on the kang with her back to Jiang Lichun, not saying a word.
Jiang Lichun muttered, "What's wrong with this child? Did he fall asleep?" As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch Lin Juan's forehead, but Lin Juan pushed him away.
"Juanzi, you're not asleep? What's wrong? Tell me, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lin Juan slowly sat up, lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Mom, forget about the marriage that Yang Erping proposed to me! I don't want to..."
Jiang Lichun sat on the edge of the kang, frowning and asking, "What's wrong? How good is this marriage that Erping told you about? Mom has inquired about it, and that Li Tieniu's family is quite well off!"
Our family is simple and there's not much gossip! We're well off, so we've bought everything! It's in the next village, so it's close to our home! What's wrong with you?
Besides, haven't you all met before? That guy is tall and handsome, and he's not ugly at all! "
Lin Juan was silent for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, didn't you hear what Aunt Fengxia said? It was Yang Erping who told Sister Shuyi about her boyfriend!"
"I said all sorts of things when I proposed marriage, but what happened? I told Sister Shuyi such a scumbag! I don't believe what Yang Erping said now, so please cancel the marriage!"
"Hey~ you silly girl! You really don't know how to enjoy your blessings! Li Tieniu is so well-off! Don't be silly~ Shuyi's divorce is the Li family's fault, what does it have to do with the matchmaker?"
Jiang Lichun was incredibly pleased with Li Tieniu! This young man was capable and a master at both housework and outside the home! He was also good-looking. Most importantly, he came from a well-off family!
Who in the countryside could afford to buy three wheels and one bell? Chen Aiguo, the best-off in the village, only had one bicycle!
Lin Juan pouted and said, "Mom, why don't you think about where Li Tieniu got the money to buy the three-turn and one-ring coin? We are all farmers, and he doesn't have a proper job!"
Where did he get so much money to buy three turns and one ring? Yang Erping only praised him and didn't mention any of the key issues!
This question stunned Jiang Lichun! That's right! Where did the money come from?
"Juanzi, look after the house! I'll go find Yang Erping and ask her!"
Jiang Lichun stood up and walked outside, but Lin Juan was quick to pull her back.
"Mom, go ask Yang Erping. Can he tell you the truth? Besides, Yang Erping may not know where Li Tieniu's money comes from!"
Jiang Lichun put his hands on his hips and asked angrily, "This won't work, and that won't work! Tell me, what should we do?"
"What are you two arguing about?" Lin Shitou pushed the door open and walked in. He looked down and saw that the fire in the stove was burning. He raised his foot and kicked the firewood in.
Jiang Lichun saw Lin Shitou coming back, and his anger subsided a little. He said, "Boss, why are you back so late?"
Lin Shitou squatted by the stove, warming himself by the fire. When he felt it was no longer so cold, he said, "Isn't this the place where Shuyi's household registration was transferred?
I figured I was already in town, so I might as well bail that idiot out on the way!"
"Then you won't be busy so late!" Jiang Lichun scooped a bowl of hot water for Lin Shitou and handed it to him.
Lin Shitou took the hot water and held it in his hands. He felt alive again, not so cold anymore. He let out a long sigh and said, "I ran into the Industrial and Commercial Bureau arresting vendors.
A group of people set up a black market in town, illegally reselling goods, and today the Industrial and Commercial Bureau busted them. Er Laizi and I watched the fun for a while!
Lin Shitou blew on the hot water in the bowl and took a small sip.
"What are you two arguing about at home?"
Jiang Lichun was still preoccupied with the arrests at the Industry and Commerce Bureau and hadn't reacted. She murmured, "How brave! Hey, boss, will they go to jail?"
Lin Shitou shook his head and said, "I don't know! Anyway, the things will definitely be confiscated... After all, it's all because of the planned economy!
People have money but no tickets, so they can't buy anything! Although things are more expensive on the black market, it's convenient and you can find everything you want."
Jiang Lichun sighed, "You can't do that! What a huge risk..."
Lin Juan was impatient to hear this, so she threw off the quilt, got off the kang, and walked out, saying, "Dad! I want to reject the marriage that Yang Erping proposed to me!"
Jiang Lichun glanced at his daughter and said unhappily, "Your daughter is so arrogant! Even with Li Tieniu's excellent conditions, she didn't even fancy him. Humph~ Boss, you should persuade her yourself!"
Lin Shitou slurped up another mouthful of hot water, swallowed it, and was stunned for a long moment before he said, "If you don't want to get married, just postpone it! It's not a big deal."
"Hey! Lin Shitou, you really are Lin Juan's biological father! You and your daughter can't even look down on such a good condition. What else are you looking for?"
Jiang Lichun was furious! Who was she doing this for? Was there anything wrong with finding a financially well-off husband for her daughter?
Lin Shitou put down the bowl, raised his head, and said slowly: "Look at you, why are you so anxious! I haven't even finished what I was saying!"
Jiang Lichun said angrily, "Why don't you just speak up! You're so slow in everything you do, and you don't seem to be in a hurry!"
"Two guys who used to hang out with Li Tieniu were held down by people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau today! I'm so uneasy!
Since Juanzi doesn't want to, then just let it go! There are plenty of young people out there, so I can just pick one later~"
Even if Li Tieniu didn't participate, he must have known about his good brother selling things on the black market! Thinking about the three rings and one turn in his house, Lin Shitou felt uneasy!
He has lived for most of his life and served as the Party Secretary for so many years, he has seen a lot of things! He can't suffer a big loss for a little profit!
"Wife, our family is not looking for a son-in-law based on his wealth. As long as he has good character and is hardworking, that's enough!" Lin Shitou's requirements were not high.
Most rural people are hardworking. If they are too lazy, they will be despised. Look at someone like Er Laizi, who in the village doesn't hate him? So what Lin Shitou values most is the other person's character!
As for whether he had money or not, he didn't force it! After all, everyone was poor in today's society, and the poverty was very evenly distributed.
Lin Juan smiled: "Mom! My dad is right~ I just want to find someone to live a stable life with. It doesn't matter if he is rich or not! As long as he has good character, that's enough!"
"I feel guilty listening to Li Tieniu! My family isn't rich, and I'm not particularly good-looking. He can afford a three-turn and a ring, so why would he marry me?"
Jiang Lichun walked into the inner room. Even through the wall, Lin Juan could hear her scolding: "You two are just choked heads. You don't even know how to enjoy your blessings!
Tomorrow morning, I will push this marriage to you! I want to see what kind of son-in-law you and your daughter will find! "
Before Niu Lanxiang even entered the yard, she heard her mother-in-law Jiang Lichun whimpering. She grabbed Lin Lei and asked, "What's wrong with your mother? What is she yelling about?"
Lin Lei shrank his neck and said nonchalantly, "Who knows? She has a loud voice, so maybe she was just talking normally!"
Only after Niu Lanxiang stepped over the threshold did she hear clearly that her mother-in-law was angry because of her sister-in-law's dating relationship!
She didn't want to be implicated, so she grabbed a bundle of firewood and quietly went into her room.
Lin Lei stood in the yard and listened for a while. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, he ran back to find his wife! He had no say in his sister's marriage!
But he was quite fond of Li Tieniu, three turns and one ring! When the time comes, I will bring them all over to my sister, and my sister will have to leave at least one for the family.
What’s given to the family is given to him!
Lin Shitou threw in another handful of firewood, making the fire burn brightly. There was no rush for his daughter's blind date; the most important thing right now was to warm up the kang; it was too cold!
