Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World

Then the dormitory was quiet and they went to sleep.

--Dividing line

After Lin Han gave the things to the gatekeeper Ah Si, he returned to the bookstore. It was still early before he could return to the village, and he didn't know what to do, so he simply went to the bookstore to read.

The bookshop clerk saw Lin Han coming back and thought he had left something behind. He stepped forward and asked, "Sir, why are you back? Did you leave something here?"

Lin Han waved his hand: "No, I came here to read a book."

As soon as these words were spoken, the bookshop clerk started a conversation like an NPC: "We charge for reading books here, fifteen cents per hour.

When the time comes, we will come to check if there are any damages or stains on the books. If there are any, we will compensate you."

Lin Han: "Okay, no need to say more, I know the rules of the study."

Seeing that Lin Han interrupted him, the bookshop clerk stopped talking and said, "Okay, then you can read it slowly. I won't bother you anymore. Feel free to call me if you need anything."

Lin Han: “Yeah.”

After that, the bookshop clerk went to entertain other customers, and Lin Han walked to the bookshelf to choose a book.

He still remembered what the bookshop clerk had said before: borrowing a book would cost thirty cents, plus a deposit of one or two taels of silver. The deadline was one month, and a penalty would be charged if the loan was overdue.

Also, if the book is damaged or stained, the deposit will be deducted.

Fortunately, he has money now and doesn't come to town often, so he can borrow a few more books. Lin Han reads at a moderate speed.

In the past, in modern times, a novel of about 250,000 words could be read in less than a day.

Lin Han carefully selected ten books based on his reading speed and the frequency of his visits to town, and took them all to the counter to pay.

The accountant was shocked when he saw Lin Han coming over with ten books. Lin Han put the books on the counter.

He said to the bookkeeper, "I want to borrow ten books. Please register them for me."

The bookkeeper naturally wouldn't try to persuade Lin Han by saying things like, "Sir, you've borrowed too many books."

After all, the more books customers borrow, the more money their bookstore earns, and the corresponding wages of the clerks will also increase.

Although the bookkeeper was shocked, he was more surprised. He said to Lin Han happily: "Okay, I will register it for you right away.

The rental fee for one book is thirty coins. If you borrow ten books, it will cost you three hundred coins.

The deposit for another book is one tael of silver, and ten books are ten taels of silver, so sir, you need to pay a total of ten taels of silver and three hundred coins.

Don't worry, sir. The ten taels of silver is just a deposit. When you return all the books in a month, our bookshop will return the ten taels of silver to you intact."

Because Lin Han borrowed too many books, the accountant reminded him again.

After the bookkeeper finished speaking, Lin Han calmly replied, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Lin Han's expression remained unchanged, the bookkeeper quickly helped him record his information. Worried that it would be difficult for Lin Han to carry the items, he also gave him a cloth bag.

Then he smiled and said, "Sir, I have registered you. Here is a cloth bag for you. It will be convenient for you to carry these books back. But next time you come to return the books, please remember to return the cloth bag as well."

Lin Han didn't expect the service attitude of the bookshop clerks to be so good, and he also had a better impression of this bookshop.

Others smiled at me, and I smiled back. Lin Han also smiled and said, "Thank you."

The bookkeeper was a little surprised when he heard Lin Han's thanks, but then he realized, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

The bookkeeper said that all the information had been recorded. Lin Han opened the cloth bag and put all the books into it.

Then he turned around, found a place to sit in the bookstore, took out a book from his cloth bag and started reading.

There was no way. It was only a little after two o'clock and there was still more than an hour before returning to the village. Lin Han had nowhere to go, so he might as well read in the bookstore.

Lin Han became fascinated as he read. The characters in these books were all in traditional Chinese characters, but fortunately, he had the original owner's memory, so Lin Han had no difficulty reading them.

I didn’t expect that ancient novels could be quite interesting. They were very explicit, some even more explicit than modern novels. The content inside them could be described as a distortion of human nature and a decline of morality.

There were no soft stools in the bookstore, only hard wooden benches. Lin Han sat in the bookstore for more than two hours, until his buttocks became numb.

He felt uncomfortable in his buttocks, looked up at the hourglass, and saw that it was almost time to go back to the village.

Lin Han stood up and stretched his shoulders, put the book into the cloth bag, walked out of the bookstore, and found a secluded corner to put the book back into the space.

Nonsense, ten books, how heavy would it be to carry them all the way? Although this weight is nothing to Lin Han, it is definitely more comfortable to carry them empty-handed.

Moreover, since coming here these days, he has fully realized the gossiping ability of the villagers in Xinghua Village.

Especially Aunt Liu, she talks too much. Lin Han will go back to the village with her later.

If she saw Lin Han, a person who didn't take the imperial examination, taking a bag of books back, it would be disastrous. Who knows what kind of rumors would spread. In order to reduce trouble, Lin Han decided to put the books back into the space.

Lin Han was tall and had long legs, so he walked quickly. It didn't take him long to reach the city gate. He had promised Uncle Li that he would wait for him at the gate.

So when they reached the city gate, Lin Han stopped and prepared to wait for Uncle Li there. After Uncle Li arrived, they would go to Uncle Wang together.

After a while, Uncle Li walked slowly towards Lin Han. When Lin Han saw Uncle Li coming, he immediately went to meet him.

Some happily said: "Uncle, you are here, let's go back."

Nonsense, how could I not be happy? The construction of Lin Han’s new house could begin the next day after he returned.

Ancient houses are not like modern houses. They do not have reinforced concrete, and what Lin Han wants to build is not a modern skyscraper.

With more than a dozen young men working hard, I believe that in less than two months, Lin Han’s new house will be completed and he can move in.

Uncle Li was touched when he saw Lin Han coming to greet him. He forced a smile and said, "Yeah."

Seeing Uncle Li responding to him, Lin Han walked in front and asked casually: "Uncle, are you having fun?"

Uncle Li looked at Lin Han's strong back and didn't know why he asked this, but it was not a big deal that could not be told.

Uncle Li didn't care. Thinking of the scene of roasting tea and chatting with his friends, Uncle Li showed a satisfied smile.

Uncle Li: "Of course. What about you, what did you do, Lin Han?"

Lin Han also told the truth: "I don't have any friends in town, and I don't know where to go, so I went to the bookstore to read."

Hearing Lin Han say that he went to the bookstore to read, Uncle Li was a little surprised and asked: "Lin Han, can you read?"

Lin Han continued to answer him, modestly saying: "Yes, my family was well off before, I went to school for a few years, and I can read a few words."

Uncle Li knew Lin Han was being modest when he heard this, and asked him, "Then why don't you take the imperial examination? That's a good way out."
