I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Having said that, Lin didn't linger and hurried straight out of the courtyard towards the Su family's house. Since Wang Guihua had agreed, this was truly a joyous occasion.

His nephew never had a proper job. If he really married Su Banxia, ​​his elder brother's family would naturally prosper. Maybe in a few years, his own family could even build a two-story house so his parents could enjoy a good life.

Thinking this, Lin was also very happy. As soon as she entered the room, she placed the tea leaves on the table.

"Third brother, I need to go back to my parents' home to take some things with me. You take care of the chores at home yourself."

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian immediately objected and reached out to hug Lin's waist.

"Wife, why are you going back to your parents' house again? Did my mother offend you again?"

Lin shook off Su Congxian's hand and said unhappily:

"It's not your mother's business. Don't drag your mother into everything. Today is a very happy occasion."

Su Congxian asked, somewhat puzzled:

What happy event could possibly happen in our family?

As Lin packed her bags, she said with a smile:

"Do you remember my eldest brother's eldest son? He still hasn't found a wife or settled down. I think he and Banxia are a perfect match, so I took it upon myself to discuss it with Wang Guihua. I didn't expect Wang Guihua to agree to let the two meet. I'm going back to my parents' home to help with the farm work and bring that boy back to meet Su Banxia. If they really do get together, won't my family also benefit?"

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian frowned, sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and said with some concern:

"Your older brother's son's name is Lin something, Lin Wencheng, right?"

Lin glared at Su Congxian.

"That's right, his name is Lin Wencheng. You can't even remember your own nephew's name, what else can you do?"

Su Congxian scratched his head.

"Oh dear, let's not talk about that. I remember that Lin Wencheng is similar to Su Feng, a street urchin in your village. If you really bring him back to Su Banxia for a matchmaking, this matter will probably not be kept secret. Su Banxia is not an easy girl to deal with. If you want to scheme against her, I think you should save your breath."

Lin threw down the bundle she was carrying and glared at Su Congxian.

"What kind of talk is that? I'm her third aunt, would I scheme against her? I just thought my eldest nephew was about the same age as her, so introducing him to her was just right. Besides, our two families are relatives. If they really get together, wouldn't that be even better? We all say that good things shouldn't go to outsiders. How can we let someone else marry a girl like Su Banxia who can make money?"

Su Congxian still hesitated after hearing Lin's words.

"Hey, I think you should stop worrying about this. I have no objection to you going to your parents' house to help with the work, but you shouldn't get involved in Su Banxia's marriage."

Lin put the packet of tea on the table directly into her bundle, tied the bundle up, and said impatiently:

"Alright, alright, stop talking to me about this. This is all between women, so don't get involved. I know what I should do, so you don't need to worry about it. Besides, I'm just a matchmaker. I didn't say that they would definitely have a good life together after they got married. I'm just an introducer. How they live their lives is up to them. I can't guarantee their happiness forever, can I?"

After saying that, Lin slung her bundle over her shoulder and headed out, just as she bumped into Su Qingsong, who was rushing in.

"You child, you're always so unruly. Where have you been running around again? Look at your face, it's so dirty, you look like a gray cat. Go wash your face."

As Lin pushed Su Qingsong outside, Su Qingsong noticed a bundle on her back and asked:

"Mother, what are you going to do with that bundle on your back?"

“I’m going to stay at your maternal grandma’s house for a few days. You stay at home with your dad and listen to him. You can’t run around like this anymore. When you’re not busy, go out and help with the chores in the fields. You’re a grown man now, how can you not help out at home?”

When Su Qingsong heard that Lin was going to her maternal grandmother's house, he immediately perked up. The last time Lin went back to her parents' home, Su Qingsong also went with her for a few days. The food at his maternal grandmother's house was much better than at his own home. His maternal grandmother would always cook a lot of delicious food for him. This time, he wanted to go with her too.

Thinking this, Su Qingsong grabbed Lin's hand and said coquettishly:

“Mom, I want to go with you. I’m worried about you going alone, so please let me go with you.”

Looking at Su Qingsong's appearance, Madam Lin shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, then go wash your hands first, pack a few changes of clothes, and we'll be leaving. I'm afraid we won't get there before dark if we stay any longer."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingsong jumped up, turned around, hastily wiped his face by the basin, rushed into the house, grabbed a set of clothes, threw them on haphazardly, then grabbed a clean set of clothes, packed them into his bundle, and, with a flourish, went out the door.

"Mom, I've packed everything. Let's hurry up and go, or we won't have time to eat."

Seeing that Su Qingsong had finished packing so quickly, Madam Lin didn't say anything, but turned back to Su Congxian and gave him another instruction.

"I'm not sure when I'll be back from my parents' house this time, maybe in five days at most. You better keep the house tidy and organized, don't make it a pigsty. If I come back and find it a mess, see how I deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian looked at Lin Shi with a bitter expression and muttered:

"Since neither you nor Qingsong are home, I'm all alone. It doesn't matter what, just come back soon. I always feel empty inside when you're not home."

Lin waved her hand directly at Su Congxian.

"I understand. You can go back inside now. We're leaving."

After saying that, Madam Lin pulled Su Qingsong outside.

At this moment, Qin, who was peering out the window, had already heard everything that was said in the courtyard. Seeing that Lin had gone far away, Qin quickly tidied her hair and clothes in front of the mirror, then swayed her hips and went to the third room with a smile.

"Is Ms. Lin home?"

When Su Congxian heard Qin Shi knocking on the door, he quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and went to open it.

"Sister-in-law, my wife just went back to her parents' home today. Is there anything you need to see her about?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi immediately beamed with joy, casually smoothed her hair, leaned against the doorframe, and looked at Su Congxian softly, saying:

"It's nothing important. I just wanted to come and ask what you want to eat tonight. I'll cook."

"There's nothing I really want to eat. Just make me whatever you like. My wife and Qingsong have both gone to her parents' house, so there aren't many people left at home."

Seeing Su Congxian's dejected appearance, Qin clenched her fists. She hadn't expected Su Congxian to truly like Lin Shi. Lin Shi had only been gone a short while and he was already acting like this. If Su Congxian were her husband, he would definitely care about her just as much. She had to seize the opportunity tonight to win him over...
