Chapter 131 The Last Wish of an Ancient Farmer 10
Gu Laoliu concealed his presence, so even if he walked on the street, others would automatically ignore him.
Chang'an looked here and there, and stopped in front of a stall selling kites. She didn't have this thing in her space, so she could buy two.
"Boss, give me a bird and a butterfly," Chang'an took out a dime from his small purse and handed it to the stall owner.
"Two kites for eight cents." The boss took the small coin and gave Chang'an a bunch of copper coins in change, but his purse was too small to hold them all.
Seeing this, the boss smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, I'll tie it up for you." He took a thin rope and strung the copper coins together one by one. He originally wanted to help her put them into the small bag on her back, but thinking that the child would buy something later, he let her hold it.
He just saw that the small purse was full of silver. If he had to exchange it for a pile of copper coins every time he bought something, he wondered if the child could carry it?
Chang'an had two more kites on her back and a string of copper coins in her hand, so she had no problem carrying this weight.
Gu Laoliu: Just like the silly girl of a landlord.
She passed by an old man selling candied haws and bought all his candied haws. She went back to distribute them to the waiters in the restaurant, and then she carried a target full of candied haws on her shoulders.
Passerby: Wow!!! Whose baby is this?
In their impression, a girl of this age would most likely be weak and powerless, but this girl was walking briskly while carrying a candied haws.
Gu Laoliu covered his face, thinking it was a cute baby, but unexpectedly it was a smaller version of Li Kui.
Grade 1: When you think she is Lin Daiyu, she can perform the trick of uprooting a weeping willow tree for you.
Ever since those four families left, the people of Feng'an County have become simple and honest.
Xue Jianren and the other three were retaliated by the people they had bullied in the past, and now the grass on their graves is ten feet high.
Chang'an strolled around the street with things hanging all over his front and back. On the way back, he met Lin Cuilan and the beggar brother who were in love.
She didn't know how to complain about Lin Cuilan. In the streets of ancient times, an unmarried girl and a man behaved intimately. Even if they were married girls, the couple would behave politely and properly when going out on the street.
Have you ever seen a woman holding hands with a man in the hall? Isn't this an open modern society?
Didn't she even notice the way people on the street looked at her? They looked at her with contempt, disgust, and some even spit in their direction.
It really proves the saying that one person's spit can drown you.
The happier you are now, the more painful you will be when you know the truth.
Lin Cuilan seemed to have not seen Changan, and brazenly said on the street that she also wanted to open a restaurant to compete with Changsheng Restaurant, "Ali, will you support me?"
Changan: Eh~ Ali? Did you eat Baba?
It is impossible for him to support you. As expected, I heard the beggar brother say lightly: "I will not stay here for long, and I have no plan to buy property here."
Not to mention the fact that he has no money, even if he did, they couldn't open a restaurant. He has some self-awareness.
They don’t have the ingredients for Changsheng Restaurant’s hotpot, and they don’t know where to get them. How can Lin Cuilan be so confident that she can beat Changsheng Restaurant?
Lin Cuilan was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and pretended to giggle, "I didn't think it through. Then we won't buy a house in Feng'an County. Let's talk about it after we return to Beijing."
The beggar just nodded and didn't promise her to buy a house in Beijing.
Just as they were flirting with each other without paying attention to who was around, a middle-aged woman came running over from nowhere, followed by several men of different ages.
The middle-aged woman walked up to Lin Cuilan without saying a word, grabbed her hair, and slapped her twice.
"You silly girl, you're not home all day long. It turns out you've been fooling around with a man in the city. I thought they were slandering you at first, but I never thought that what they said was actually true, and they were even being polite."
She seemed to be very angry, and when Lin Cuilan was just screaming, she slapped her twice.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the beggar wanted to run away, but was stopped by several men. "What are you doing? I told you not to mess around."
Lin Cuilan didn't care about anything else. She was afraid that her father and brothers would beat the beggar brother. In ancient times, if commoners beat the royal family, their heads would be cut off. She was so angry that she was about to die, and her heart was full of resentment.
"Mom, grandma, what are you doing? Dad, let Ali go." These cheap family members knew nothing and could not help her at all. She did not ask them for help, but asked them not to hinder her. However, it seemed that even this wish was a luxury.
Grandma Lin looked at Lin Cuilan sharply, "If he really likes you, he should ask a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage. Although we are not a wealthy family, we still have to follow the proper etiquette. Do you know what you are doing now?"
Lin Cuilan was shocked by her grandmother's aura and didn't know how to react for a moment. She never knew that the old lady who was taciturn at home could have such a strong aura when she got angry?
Grandma Lin coldly spat out four words, "unmatched adultery."
In public, the old lady didn't give Lin Cuilan any face at all, as if the girl in front of her with messy hair and red and swollen cheeks was not her granddaughter.
The onlookers are pointing fingers, simply saying that Lin Cuilan is self-deprecating. Have they ever thought about whether the man who is with her should also bear corresponding responsibilities?
The dwarf Chang'an was covered in stuff and carrying a candied haws, standing at the front of the melon-eating crowd. The people who were eating melons deliberately avoided her and left her enough space.
Gu Laoliu was standing behind her. This was the fourth string of candied haws he had stolen from Chang'an.
A guard stepped forward to help, "Please forgive me, old lady. My son has been very busy recently and has not had time to visit you. Please rest assured, old lady, my son will bring a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow. The rules must be followed, and my son has prepared the betrothal gifts."
He is Luo Xingchen's trusted guard. He knows what his master is going to do, so he will just go with the flow and settle the matter.
Dowry or something? Just something casual will do. Seeing that the Lin family was loosening up, he immediately protected the beggar brother and left the scene.
The Lin family thought that since Lin Cuilan had ruined her reputation, it would be best if the man was willing to marry her.
Grandma Lin was not optimistic, but seeing that Lin Cuilan looked like she had shit in her eyes, she was too lazy to say anything. She lived her own life and it was her own fault how she lived.
In the end, Lin Cuilan was dragged out of the city by her mother, who grabbed her ear. On the way back to the village, she continued to scold her, and the scolding became more and more harsh. She didn't treat her like a daughter, but more like an enemy.
"That's enough. It's never going to end, is it? Do you know who he is? If you were useless, would I tear myself off and cling to someone else?"
Mother Lin was startled by Lin Cuilan's shouting, but her anger subsided a lot. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she opened her mouth but didn't ask who that person was? What was his identity?
"If you think the Lin family can't give you the life you want, then go and look for what you think is a good life," said Lin's father, who had been silent all along. He was a farmer and only knew how to farm.
He did not have the courage of Lin Jing's father, nor the brains of Gu Fugui. Their family could not produce a son like Lin Jing, so they were destined to make a living by farming.
If Lin Cuilan had a better future, they would not stop her, nor would they try to curry favor with her.
Lin Cuilan didn't say anything else. She wanted to tell them that the wild man that Lin's mother mentioned was a prince in the court, but when she thought that this whole family would suck her blood like blood-sucking worms in the future, she swallowed the words back in her stomach.
The family walked on their journey in silence.
