An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Yin packed a few and suddenly looked up and smiled. She tugged at Zhuang's sleeve next to her and motioned her to look into the main hall. The door of the main hall was usually not closed, but now it was ajar from the inside, but some clues could still be seen through the crack.

Grandpa Xiaobei had pulled Lin in at some point, and the two of them were standing side by side, now kneeling down to Jing Yongcheng and the old lady.

Zhuang's seat was not as straight as Yin's, but she could guess what was going on just by looking at their backs, and she thought Yin was making a fuss out of nothing.

His hands were empty, so he nudged Yin's hand with his shoulder and smiled, "That's fine too!"

Both Lin and Xiaobei's grandfather were miserable people. One had never married, and the other had met the wrong person. If they could get together, their lives would be more promising, and their masters would surely wish them well.

Yin said with an expression that said, "I thought you didn't know." "I saw that a long time ago."

Grandpa Xiaobei took good care of Lin's mother and daughter along the way. Even allowing them to join this family was inseparable from Grandpa Xiaobei's contribution. However, Lin is indeed not bad and deserves their sincere treatment.

Grandpa Xiaobei rubbed the corner of his clothes nervously and pulled Lin to kneel down, but Lin didn't say anything and didn't feel embarrassed, just lowered his head.

He didn't dare look at Lin, and looked ahead with a sincere face: "We two want to live together, and ask the general and the old lady to help us."

Jing Yongcheng and the old lady had expected this, and when they looked at each other, their faces were filled with joy and relief.

But the old lady said, "Get up! The general and I will be happy if you can make a couple.

You are all good people, not our slaves. You are not allowed to kneel like this. Get up quickly.

As long as you two like it, since we have agreed, we will choose a date for you to hold the ceremony."

At this time, the silent Lin looked up and said, "I am a member of the Jing family and I will not leave this family. If the old general and the old lady do not agree, we will not be able to do it."

After saying that, she shook off Xiaobei's grandfather's hand, with a firm attitude.

In fact, Xiaobei has already reported this matter to the old general.

Xiaobei got a little silver from the last bandit suppression and a reward of 100 taels. The old general originally wanted to give him some more money and suggested that they rent a small house outside for the three of them to live together after they get married. However, Lin disagreed and insisted that she had to live in this house so that she could serve the old lady. She argued with Xiaobei and still insists on this.

The two of them tried to persuade her a few more times, but Lin still had the same opinion.

The old lady had no choice but to say, "It's not impossible for you to live in the mansion, but the house is too small and I'm afraid it will be unfair to you."

Lin looked up and insisted, "I'm not feeling wronged. I like a big family, and Qiaoqiao also likes the hustle and bustle. Being alone outside makes me feel scared. I feel like a rootless duckweed, and my home doesn't feel like a home anymore."

Seeing that Lin was so insistent, Xiaobei had no choice but to agree to accommodate her.

In fact, Xiaobei also likes to be with the old general, but he feels that Lin is too young to marry him, and he is afraid that she will be wronged, so he wants to let her live by herself and make her own decisions so that she can feel more at ease. He is also worried that she will be too shy to show up because there are so many people in her family. But who would have thought that she would get angry because of this.

The old lady smiled and said, "As long as you don't feel wronged, then Xiaobei will move into your room and let Mingrong live with Nanny Wang first."

Originally, the Lins and their daughters lived in a room in the third courtyard with Jing Mingrong, while Xiaobei's grandfather lived in the gatehouse of the west residence. It would have been nice to have Jing Mingrong move out and serve the old lady with Nanny Wang, but they still felt that the room in the backyard was too small and unfair to them.

Jing Yongcheng thought for a moment and said, "After we finish the spring plowing, we should use the vacant land at the back. Then we can build two houses for you."

The old lady nodded and said, "With Qiaoqiao here, there's no need to move the extra bed. If you need anything else, just tell us and I'll ask Nanny Wang to buy it for you.

"When Qiaoqiao is older, we'll arrange a separate room for her." Qiaoqiao is so young, it's definitely not possible to have a separate room now, but sleeping in another bed is fine.

When Lin mentioned this, her face turned red and she kept saying, “No need.”

The room already had a bed and a chest of drawers. According to the old lady, adding a cabinet would be enough for them. Even their master's room had a similar setup. But if they built another house later, they could add another room for Qiaoqiao. Seeing how insistent Lin was now, it didn't seem like she needed a kitchen herself.

Have two people stand up and have them both sit down.

Jing Yongcheng said, "In that case, we'll also be witnesses. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's just do it tomorrow at the pig-killing feast. After the New Year, I'll have Changning go to the county to exchange your marriage certificate."

Lin nodded repeatedly in agreement, but Xiaobei said inappropriately, "I'd rather not accept the marriage certificate. I'm already this old, and I don't know how many years I can live. If I die early, she can find another home. I'm afraid it will be troublesome in the future if I have a marriage certificate."

This was Xiaobei's true feelings. Lin was so much younger than him, and he was worried that he would wrong her. He also had to make plans for her future, and he didn't want her to bear the label of being married for the third time.

"Then there's no need for that. I'm marrying you because you treat Qiaoqiao well and I want someone to rely on. I don't want to end up in the same cave with that dead guy after I die. If you don't get the marriage certificate, I'll just spend my life with Qiaoqiao alone."

After he finished speaking, his eyes immediately turned red and he wanted to stand up and walk out, but was held down by the old lady.

"Xiaobei, what are you talking about?" the old lady blamed.

Along the way, I have never seen Lin get angry, nor have I seen her say so many words in one breath, but this time she was so angry that her eyes were red. Although she was suppressed by the old lady, she was still angry in her heart and ignored Grandpa Xiaobei.

After looking around and seeing that no one said anything, he bowed to the old lady, shook his sleeves, opened the door and went to the patio to continue making rice dumplings. When he was tying the rope, he pulled it hard angrily and even tied a few more circles.

She ignored everyone and said nothing, just venting her anger on herself and the rice dumpling in her hand.

The old lady watched her leave and even watched her wrap a zongzi. She smiled and said, "You should try to coax her later. She wants to live a good life with you, but you're trying to push her away. How can that be?"

Xiaobei's old face immediately turned red, almost dark red, and he rubbed his calloused hands even more frequently.

Jing Yongcheng: "I haven't even said I'm old, why are you so anxious? You're only in your early forties and you're acting like an old man. You've never been married, and you're a responsible person, so you're worthy of the Lin family.

You've endured so much hardship along the way, haven't you? Your health is no worse than that of a young man in his twenties or thirties. You even dared to go up the mountain to suppress bandits. What else do you have to fear? When you die, Qiaoqiao will burn incense for you. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to bury you with?

Grandpa Xiaobei just smiled foolishly, looked at them and then looked at Lin who was bloated with anger outside, and didn't know what to do.

The old lady laughed again: "If you want her well, don't let yourself die so quickly."

Jing Yongcheng: "If you agree, just do as we say."

"Have you told Qiaoqiao about this?"

The old lady suddenly saw Qiaoqiao playing with rice outside and asked again. It would not be okay for the two of them to get married without considering the child's feelings. She couldn't bear to see the pitiful look of a crying child.

There were so many people outside, and it would not be good for Xiaobei to go out and bother Lin now, but Xiaobai still nodded, then shook his head.

He agreed to go through the formalities after the New Year, but Qiaoqiao probably hadn't explained it clearly yet, and as a grown man he didn't know what to do. He couldn't suddenly ask that little carrot boy whether he agreed to be a father.
