EBE Chapter 122 The Other Side of Xiao Lin
Chapter 122 The Other Side of Xiao Lin
Jiang Shuyue's words made Niu Aifang silent. Knowing that Jiang Shuyue was leaving, she did not speak again.
Qin politely sent Jiang Shuyue and Xiao Lin away, in a good mood, "Mother is really capable, if she didn't delay, how could you be so nice?"
"I've already told you I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."
"I would like to go, but they don't want me to go. You silly girl, why are you so stubborn? It's not worth it to get angry with Jiang Shuyue over a dead person."
Qin advised earnestly, "You don't want to do it either. Your father only earns a few bucks a day carrying sandbags, and Jiang Shuyue gives you so much. I dare say that if word gets out, all the girls in the village will be scrambling to get it. You are still so stubborn and unwilling to do it. You are a tiger."
"But I don't want to see Jiang Shuyue."
"So you don't want money?"
Who doesn't want money?
But Niu Aifang felt uncomfortable, "I felt uncomfortable when I saw her and Xiao Lin talking and laughing together."
"It's normal for a couple to sleep in the same bed. Why do you think they are uncomfortable? You are not Jiang Yinqiao. Come on, stop being so mean. Earn some money and your brother will get married. Just save it. You can marry into a good family with a large dowry."
Niu Aifang wanted to say that she wanted to marry Xiao Lin, but... it was impossible.
……
After leaving the Niu family, Xiao Lin was still confused, "What did you mean by that look you gave me just now?"
Because Jiang Shuyue and Xiao Lin were not yet a real couple, there was nothing to be shy about. "Don't you know? Sister Su Fen is interested in you!"
Xiao Lin really didn't know, and he was also quite shocked.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Don't worry about where I heard it from. This is the truth. Jiang Yinqiao has always been interested in you. The whole village knows about it. Sister Sufen is good friends with her, so she didn't tell anyone."
"You know it very well." Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, as if to avoid suspicion, "I have no interest in her."
Jiang Shuyue cleared his throat. There was no need for him to explain.
"Niu Aifang doesn't treat you well, but you still help her. Qin is a person who likes to take advantage of others. If you give her two taels of silver, she will give her fingerprints. Why bother?"
"Actually, Sister Sufen is not a bad person. She is quite righteous. She treated me badly because of Jiang Sunshi and Jiang Yinqiao. Besides, when the hot spring villa opens, we will need someone who is clean and capable. Instead of looking for someone outside, it is better to find someone who knows me well."
Jiang Shuyue smiled faintly, confident and calm, "She is willing to protect someone like Jiang Yinqiao. After a long time, will she still be my enemy?"
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the second house, which was Old Man Zhao's house.
"Grandpa Zhao."
Old Man Zhao was famous in the village for his strange temper, which was related to the fact that his young wife and son died from eating poisonous mushrooms.
He was only in his twenties then, and now he is in his sixties. He is alone, skinny, and actually quite pitiful.
"Who is it?" Old man Zhao was sitting on the stone at the gate, leaning on a cane, his eyes drooping, with no intention of raising them.
"It's me, Jiang Shuyue."
"Ah, the second girl of the Jiang family."
"That's right." Jiang Shuyue said gently, squatting down and looking at him, "I came here to ask you for a favor."
"I won't help. What you want to do has nothing to do with me. Just take care of your own business." Old man Zhao refused without leaving any room for negotiation.
Jiang Shuyue was not annoyed. It was just a matter of asking for help, so how could he be arrogant?
Besides, she couldn't get angry with the old man in front of her.
"Grandpa Zhao, you have to be busy with this matter. If you don't agree, I can't do it."
"If you can't do it, then don't do it. If you do, you won't get any money from me."
Old man Zhao snorted, and looked at Xiao Lin with a look of disdain, "You are such a grown man, and you let a woman show her face in public, aren't you ashamed?"
Jiang Shuyue quickly looked at Xiao Lin, fearing that he would be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin was not angry at all, but smiled. "What's there to be ashamed of? If she has the ability, she can arrange it. If it were me, my family wouldn't be able to build such a big house."
"Aren't you afraid of others poking your spine?"
"They are just envious and jealous of me for marrying a good wife." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
Old man Zhao’s eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
"Don't take that thing. I don't agree with it."
Jiang Shuyue couldn't take a hard approach, and she was helpless with this old man. If she didn't care now, she was afraid that there would be trouble after the villa was built.
"Grandpa Zhao, then tell me, what does it take for you to agree? It requires money..."
"Shut up. What do I need that thing for? I'm already half buried in the ground, and I don't have a son to take care of me in my old age. Who will I save the money for?" Old Man Zhao said fiercely.
Jiang Shuyue sighed, feeling that he had really hit a hard nail this time and felt a little powerless.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin spoke at this time.
"You don't want money, but the old lady in the next village should need money, right?"
"Nonsense, old lady, shut up." Old man Zhao was so angry that he hit the person with his cane.
Xiao Lin dodged easily, "There are no outsiders here. If you give money, the son of that family will not stop you from interacting with each other, right? As you said, there are not many years left. Do you want to wait until you are sick and there is no one to serve tea or water?"
"Ahem... I don't know what you are talking about?" Old man Zhao said stubbornly.
But Jiang Shuyue had already figured out from his reaction that Xiao Lin was right.
There really is an old lady.
I didn't even know it.
How did Xiao Lin know?
Xiao Lin blinked at her, his beautiful eyes were filled with pride, like the brightest stars in the sky.
The man in the sunlight made Jiang Shuyue a little dazed.
The couple sang the same tune, and Old Man Zhao was also persuaded.
Old man Zhao is not an unreasonable person, he just doesn't like everything. Now that he knows he can have a second spring, he will naturally be easier to talk to.
He didn't ask for money, but just said that if Jiang Shuyue could help get this done and let Old Lady Wang come to his house to live with him, he would put his fingerprints on it.
Jiang Shuyue looked at Xiao Lin, as if asking again, can he do it?
"No problem, it's settled. You just wait to be the groom." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"Go away, you little brat. I'm already so old, and you're still a groom." Old man Zhao pretended to hit someone, but he raised his cane high up and then dropped it gently, not even touching Xiao Lin.
Jiang Shuyue looked at Xiao Lin like this. It turned out that he also had this side, like a child.
"You look so beautiful when you smile. Please smile more in the future."
No, Xiao Lin looked at Jiang Shuyue and praised her sincerely, and he swore in his heart that he would make sure Jiang Shuyue would always have such a sweet and comfortable smile in his life.
