I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.
Chapter 181 Returning to Xie’s House
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Youzhu and Li were the first to run out of the house, followed by Old Man Xie and Old Lady Xie, who walked a little slower.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they asked Xie Ping, "Really? Can you see clearly that it's really your uncle and aunt?"
"Yes, it was my uncle and aunt, and the rest of the Lin family came along, riding in a bullock cart."
Xie Ping tilted his head back, grinned, and laughed heartily.
"Okay... okay, they're all here, it's lively, come on, let's go to the gate to welcome them."
"A Ping, go inside and add some firewood to make the fire burn brighter. It will warm up your aunt and her family later."
Old Man and Old Lady Xie were worried that Lin Yunchu's family would get cold all the way to Xiejia Village in such a cold weather, and they were anxious to go out to greet them.
Since Lin Changting got married last time, he hasn't seen his daughter, son-in-law and grandson for a long time. He is really missing them and wants to see them as soon as possible.
The Xie family lived at the east end of Xiejia Village, at the very end of the village. If the Lin family's ox cart wanted to go to the Xie family, it had to go all the way to the end of the village.
On normal days, there would be few people walking around outside in such a cold weather. However, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the village is quite bustling.
As the Lin family's ox cart passed by, many people came to watch it curiously. This ox cart was not common. In the entire Xiejia Village, only the headman's family had a cow, and no other family had one.
On weekdays, people have to walk to the town. It’s New Year’s Day and the weather is cold. They didn’t expect that an ox cart would come to their village. They didn’t know whose relatives came to visit Xiejia Village.
Many children also followed the ox cart, running along and laughingly talking about how strong the ox was.
However, someone soon recognized Lin's mother sitting on the ox cart. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, a little bit unbelievable, and rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he was dazzled.
"Look quickly, the person sitting on the ox cart is the youngest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Yurong, who married into Qingxi Village."
A woman pointed at Lin's mother who was sitting on the ox cart and looking forward, and asked the people around her in disbelief.
When the people nearby heard this, they raised their eyebrows, not believing it at all, and glanced in the direction she pointed.
Don’t they know what the Xie family’s situation is like? They are extremely poor. Xie Ping and Xie An are not young anymore, but they haven’t even found a marriage yet.
And there is Xie Chunjiao, who doesn't even have a husband who comes to propose marriage. Other girls of her age are already engaged, but if she can't get married, she will become an old maid.
Many people in the village are waiting to see the joke. The girl from the Xie family doesn't even go out now. Isn't she ashamed to see people?
The youngest daughter of the Xie family who married out could afford an ox cart. What a joke! An ox costs twenty or thirty taels of silver. They probably can't earn that much money in their entire lives. Where did they buy the ox cart? They must have seen it wrong.
After a few people looked at the person sitting on the ox cart, they found that the woman sitting on the ox cart looked familiar the more they looked at her. She did look a bit like the youngest daughter of the Xie family.
But the woman sitting on the ox cart had a rosy complexion, was wearing new clothes, and had a silver hairpin on her head.
He doesn't look like someone from the Xie family at all. They all lowered their heads and looked at each other.
Looking more closely, it was indeed the youngest married daughter of the Xie family. They had all seen Lin Wenshan, who was sitting in the front driving the cart, when he came to Xiejia Village to help before.
Now everyone was shocked. This was incredible. The poor Xie family actually had a daughter and son-in-law who could afford to buy a cow and an ox cart.
This information was like a stone dropped into the water, causing a thousand ripples.
It was hard to believe. In their eyes, the Xie family had always been the poorest family in the village. Now they found out that Xie Yurong, who was married, was living such a good life. They felt a little bit unbelievable.
But looking at the person on the ox cart, he is indeed the youngest child of the Xie family. The other children on the ox cart must be her children.
She looked rosy-cheeked and was wearing new clothes. She didn't look like someone who had lived a hard life at all.
"Oh my, you really are the youngest of the Xie family. You're actually living such a good life now. I can't believe it. No one would believe it if I told anyone."
"Of course not. Look at what she's wearing. It's new clothes. If I had seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have believed it."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible."
A few people were eating melon seeds and watching the ox cart slowly passing by in front of them. A few of them began to talk to the people coming from behind about what they had just seen.
By the time the Lin family's ox cart arrived at the Xie family's gate, the news had already spread throughout the village.
"Wenshan, Arong, you're finally back. I hope you're not cold in such a cold day."
"I just asked Ah Ping to go in and add some firewood. You guys should hurry up and warm up inside."
"A Ping, A An, you guys go back and help tie up the cows and move things."
As soon as the Lin family arrived at the Xie family, they were surrounded by people. The Xie family members talked at once and welcomed the Lin family into the house.
Seeing that there were many things on the ox cart, Xie Youzhu and Xie Youhe asked Lin Changting and Lin Changshun to follow them into the house first, while the two of them stayed behind to help Xie Ping and Xie An move the things.
The Lin family members did not refuse. The Xie family members finished moving all the things on the ox cart in a short time. Moreover, they had walked all the way to Xiejia Village and were really cold. They had to go into the house to warm up and take a break.
When everyone entered the house, Li and Xie Chunjiao quickly poured everyone a full cup of tea that they had just brewed, and asked them to drink some hot tea to warm themselves up first.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, cousin."
"Thank you, cousin."
Lin Changting and the others expressed their gratitude one after another. After drinking a cup of hot tea, their expressions gradually relaxed. Seeing this, the Xie family members started chatting with the Lin family members about family matters.
"This year it's a few degrees colder than usual. I was worried you wouldn't be able to come."
Old Mrs. Xie was very happy to see her daughter, son-in-law and grandson all back, but when she saw the things that Xie Youzhu and others had just moved in, she suddenly became a little worried.
She looked up at her son-in-law Lin Wenshan's face for a few times, and seeing that his expression was normal, she felt a little relieved. She thought to herself that she would ask her daughter again when she took her daughter into the house to talk in private.
She saw it all clearly. When her daughter and her family came back, they brought a lot of things, including rice, flour, and other daily necessities. She also saw two pieces of cloth, which was enough to make clothes for everyone in the Xie family.
