"Fine, you dare to lie to me! I'm so old, and I still have to be deceived by you unfilial descendants. I'm so pitiful, sob sob sob..."
As he spoke, Old Xu wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looking pitifully at Lin Shuyun, though it was unclear whether there were any tears.
Lin Shuyun: ...
If you could actually shed a few tears, that would be fine; this is just too fake.
Gu Nanfeng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up, "Old man, I have some wine."
"Really?"
Old Xu's eyes lit up instantly.
She took a few steps forward and grabbed Gu Nanfeng's arm. "Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you? Hurry up, where is it? Take it out quickly!"
Gu Nanfeng looked at the old man who resembled the retired emperor, who was holding his arm and blinking at him. Gu Nanfeng felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
"Really, could you please let me go? I'll have someone go and get it for you."
Gu Nanfeng instinctively wanted to push him away, but was afraid that if he used even a little force, the old man would fall apart.
It's so weird. He's just an ordinary old man, so why does he always feel like the Emperor Emeritus is clinging to his arm?
Old Xu patted Gu Nanfeng on the back happily, "You're a big, strong guy, you look like a good person! A really good person!"
Is this how you praise a good person?
He's broad-shouldered and burly?
He was clearly the youngest, most handsome, and dashing marquis among that group of old guys in Shengjing, wasn't he?
"Old man, drink less, or you won't get any dinner when you get back tonight," Lin Shuyun reminded him as they set off on their donkey cart.
Old Xu, who was about to run away, froze in his tracks.
Then, dejectedly, she said to Gu Nanfeng, "Forget it, your wine is no good at all, I'm not going."
Gu Nanfeng couldn't hold back any longer, "Five taels of silver a catty of Zhuyeqing, old man, are you sure you don't want to drink it?"
"What's so great about a bamboo leaf green tea?" Old Xu thought for a moment, then reluctantly said, "How about... I just have a sip?"
Gu Nanfeng: ...
Do you want to hear what you're saying? In a place where people can't even afford meat, you actually look down on his five-tael-a-pound bamboo leaf green tea?
Jiang Changtian originally wanted to drive a donkey cart to Xinghua Village, but the donkey was unruly no matter what he did, and Lin Shuyun laughed at him until his ears turned red. In the end, Lin Shuyun drove the cart.
The two had just left the village.
A small black furball ran over, followed by a much larger gray fleshy ball.
"Coal Ball, I haven't seen you for days. So you took the little one out to play?"
Lin Shuyun looked at the dirty coal lumps and withdrew her hand, which was about to reach out to touch them.
His gaze fell on the chubby, shiny little thing. "Why does this little thing look less like a mixed-breed dog and more like a husky?"
It looks pretty good, but it's kind of silly.
"It's a wolf! A wolf! Who said it was a dog? I almost got surrounded by a pack of wolves!"
The coal briquettes emitted a sharp popping sound.
If this ugly thing hadn't had a conscience at the last moment and stopped the wolf king, it would have died!
"Shuyun, I almost didn't see you again!" Coal Ball complained.
Unfortunately, Lin Shuyun couldn't understand a word and turned to look at Jiang, the translator, on the donkey cart.
Jiang Changtian frowned. "Yunyun, this is a wolf. Send it back."
The following sentence is what the coal ball said.
Wolves are very vengeful; if they knew their cubs were in human hands, they would definitely come back to retaliate again and again.
Coal Ball jumped onto the donkey cart. "It wouldn't leave, it followed me back. The wolf pack was watching nearby. Damn it, this is so unlucky!"
If this weren't a human-inhabited area where wolves wouldn't easily leave, it would still be in trouble.
"Wolf?"
Lin Shuyun glanced at the little creature and, upon closer inspection, realized it really was a wolf. "The old man is quite good at picking things up; he actually brought back a wolf cub."
"Coal Ball, you take it and play with it. I'm going to Xinghua Village, and I'll play with you guys again when I come back."
Coal Ball clung to Lin Shuyun's clothes, refusing to let go.
No, it doesn't want to raise the wolf cubs. The ugly creatures' family is too large and their numbers are too many; it can't defeat them.
Otherwise, he would have already turned the wolf king into his underling.
Lin Shuyun waved her hand and simply put both furry balls into her spatial storage.
I'm still busy right now, I'll have Jiang translate it later.
"Sister, you've arrived?"
Upon arriving at the Lin family home, Lu Qiaoqiao was the first to greet them.
Lu Qiaoqiao, who was pregnant, looked no different from before.
"Sister-in-law." Lin Shuyun glanced at her stomach; it wasn't swollen yet.
Is she pregnant?
"I still prefer you to call me Sister Qiaoqiao." Lu Qiaoqiao smiled brightly.
"Then call her Sister-in-law Qiaoqiao?" Calling her "sister" doesn't seem quite right.
"Pfft, my name sounds nice coming from my sister's mouth." Lu Qiaoqiao said as she came over to move things from the donkey cart, and then she was stunned when she saw it.
"So much meat?!"
“My husband’s friend hunted a wild boar, and since we couldn’t finish it at home, we brought it over,” Lin Shuyun said as she took it down.
"Give some to the village chief so he can look after you more often. You can smoke the rest into smoked meat or cured meat for yourselves. Sister Qiaoqiao is pregnant, so she should eat well. Don't skimp on food and drink."
Lu Qiaoqiao looked at Lin Shuyun with some emotion upon hearing this.
She married into such a good family; everyone from top to bottom doted on her and spoiled her, not letting her do anything. Even her married sister-in-law doted on her.
"Qiaoqiao, don't move heavy things, let Hongzhi do it!" Madam Li came out of the house.
Upon seeing the pork, he immediately pulled Lin Shuyun into the kitchen and whispered to her.
“How could you take so much? You didn’t even keep any for yourself. You could have sold it for money. You’re building a house. It’s fine if your parents can’t help you, but we can’t let you take so much stuff.”
Madam Li felt sorry for her daughter. Not only could she not give her daughter anything, but she also kept making her daughter move back to her parents' home.
Now that Lin Dahai has stopped taking his medicine and Lin Hongzhi has taken on carpentry work, life isn't so difficult anymore.
"If I have money, I'll tell my mother secretly, but I won't tell anyone else." Lin Shuyun blinked.
Madam Li smiled, looking at Lin Shuyun with loving eyes.
He wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and then said nothing.
Seeing that Madam Li seemed preoccupied, Lin Shuyun didn't ask.
Everyone has their own secrets, and they'll tell you when they're ready. She doesn't have that much curiosity.
"Brother-in-law, look at this bed. Does it match the blueprints you gave me?"
Outside, Lin Hongzhi showed Jiang Changtian the bed that had been prepared.
Looking at the large bed that could sleep four people, Jiang Changtian couldn't help but think of last night, and his collarbone felt a little hot.
Thinking that it wasn't appropriate to think that way, that it was disrespectful, Jiang Changtian cleared his mind and said seriously, "Same here, brother's cooking is excellent."
Lin Hongzhi scratched his head happily, "I'm glad you like it. This style is unique in the village. Many families want to make the same one after seeing it!"
