Chapter 5 The Appearance of Those Who Please

It was Aunt Lin who spoke, probably because she lost face outside, and Aunt Lin didn't seem to have any good fruit when she went home, and she looked a lot more depressed today than usual, her hair was put down to block half of her face, as if she was covering something, but even so, her mouth was still sharp, and she seemed to be planning to sprinkle all the qi she received from home on Lin Baitang's body.

Lin Baitang could endure this Second Aunt Lin before, but since she tore her face yesterday, she didn't plan to give Second Aunt Lin any more face, so when she heard this, she sneered, and swept it over lightly: "Second Aunt Lin, listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that you haven't been beaten enough?"

When a sentence came out, several people around couldn't help but stop talking, everyone knows what kind of person Lin Baitang is, the old forest in the deep mountains comes and goes freely, killing something gadgets without even blinking his eyes, there have been a few men in the village who bullied the little girls in the village with their strong bodies, but in the end, there was not one counted, and Lin Baitang was thrown out of the village.

Since then, the reputation of the Lin family girl who is not easy to mess with has spread in the village, Lin Baitang has enjoyed the courtesy of everyone in the village for a period of time, until later in the hunting season, the Lin family moved into a house in the mountains, and when they came back again, everyone resumed their previous attitude towards them.

Things that had been forgotten for too long suddenly became clear in this moment.

The momentary silence around made Lin Baitang also know that she was a little faceless when she said this, but she didn't bother to be a good person in the eyes of everyone, pretending not to notice the abnormalities around her, and only said to the Zhao family's aunt: "Auntie, you go first, I'll clean up and go over."

The aunt of the Zhao family is also smart, and she quickly noticed that Lin Baitang's attitude towards herself and others was different, and she couldn't help but feel a little different from herself, and immediately smiled: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll be with you." ”

Lin Baitang didn't plan to let her wait here, and when the time came, she owed one more favor, so she planned to refuse, but the aunt of the Zhao family saw it and blocked Lin Baitang's words in advance: "My family drove the donkey cart to go, you haven't come back for a while, the road in the village has changed a little, if you go by yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." ”

Having said that, Lin Baitang could also see that the aunt of the Zhao family sincerely wanted to take her, so she no longer shirked, and said: "Okay, then bother the aunt and wait for me." After that, he hurried back to the house to pack his things.

The market is said to be a bazaar, but there is no too clear distinction between buyers and sellers, except for special merchants, most of them bring their own things to sell, and the money from the sale buys other things.

In the past, when Lin's father was still there, Lin Baitang often followed him to the market to sell the captured prey, the skin and flesh were separated, and he could sell them at two prices, but this time he knew the news in a hurry, there were still people waiting outside the door, and it was a little too late to sell his own things, Lin Baitang's house turned around twice, and finally just put the small bag of money into his arms, and carried two dried buns, a bamboo tube of water, and went back to find the Zhao family's aunt.

The aunt of the Zhao family was originally ready to wait for a long time, but she didn't expect that she had swept the stone and didn't wait for it to sit hot, and Lin Baitang had already rushed out.

Almost subconsciously looked at Lin Baitang, and the Zhao family's aunt was stunned: "Why is it still like this, and you don't wear glamorous clothes?"

You must know that in such a place, the market is a big deal, people from several villages get together, many young girls will take advantage of this almost hard to dress up, and strive to grab people's attention in the market, but also to make the family a little face, the more beautiful people know, the more people who come to propose marriage, and the thicker the bride price can get, and not only that family, but even the relatives of her family, can also follow the light.

In this case, gradually, not only the unmarried daughter's family began to dress up, but also those who were connected with each other would dress more beautifully for the happiness of their brothers and sisters in the future, so as to show the wealth of their family.

Lin Baitang naturally knew about these things, but he hadn't paid attention to them, and even at this moment, he just smiled casually: "Go to a market, who will wear so glamorous." ”

The aunt of the Zhao family was stunned, but she also remembered that Lin Baitang had no sisters in the family, and there were no people who were too close, so she didn't have to earn any face.

It's just that it's a little different now, the aunt of the Zhao family snorted at the house, and her voice lowered by two points: "Isn't your family from the city, can he get used to seeing you like this?"

Lin Baitang didn't think about this, she subconsciously glanced at herself.

She used to go up the mountain with her father, so for convenience, most of the clothes are plain and wear-resistant, such clothes are durable, but in terms of style and color, they are naturally not as good as those bright and fashionable.

Lin Baitang can remember that when he was in the city, what the clothes Meng Zhenghui bought for himself looked like, cheongsams and dresses were all beautiful color materials, slippery like water, and when he wore them, he was only seven points good-looking, and they became ten points.

When he put on those sets of clothes at that time, he was in a trance when he looked in the mirror, feeling like a female star in the calendar, Lin Baitang didn't dare to touch the clothes on his body, for fear that his hands would be rough and hang silk on other people's clothes, but Meng Zhenghui didn't think about it at all and paid for it and wrapped up all those clothes.

He must have liked that color, too.

Lin Baitang lived very casually in the first half of his life, and there was almost no scrutiny of his appearance, but now that his love has just opened, he actually has a little consciousness of being a woman who pleases herself.

The aunt of the Zhao family saw Lin Baitang's hesitation, and took the opportunity to persuade: "This time, let's take the opportunity to pull two more pieces of bright fabric, if you don't dress up now, when you reach my age in the future, it will be too late to wear it again." ”

Lin Baitang pressed his purse, thinking that it would not be a big expense to pull two pieces of cloth, so he also responded happily: "Okay, listen to my aunt." ”

The two of them talked, Aunt Zhao's donkey cart also arrived, Aunt Zhao went up first, and then came to invite Lin Baitang, Aunt Lin looked at it greedily, and wanted to rub a white cart together, Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed, after all, the villagers, where is there a reason to let one not let the other.

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was about to get into the car, Lin Baitang took out three coins from his purse and handed them to Aunt Zhao: "They are all villagers, and I don't want to take advantage of my sister-in-law's family, and donkeys also have to eat forage, which is considered the car money." ”

The three money were taken out, and Aunt Lin stopped after lifting half of her legs.

It's not that she can't afford these three money, it's just that the road is not far away, let's say it's close, and there will definitely be sore feet.

If it was usual, she would have paid these three dollars when she was angry, but yesterday she just lost face in the village because of her quarrel with Lin Baitang, and she went back and had a fight with her family, so she was a little hesitant to ask her to spend this money boldly.

Just as she was hesitating, three or two more people paid the money and got on the donkey cart, and the originally small donkey cart was full and couldn't crowd people anymore.

Second Aunt Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but she was unforgiving, and lowered her head to the ground and said, "The money burns a lot." Then he walked out on his own, but called the aunt of the Zhao family, who originally planned to stop her to get into the car together, and made a fortune with one hand.

The donkey carts and ox carts in the village came one after another, and the people who didn't get on the side also got into their own cars or had a good relationship with their own families at this time, and when they were about to leave, someone sneered: "Lin Er's family is wearing pretty good today, but I don't know how much glamour will be left after walking all the way?"

People are crowded by everyone, and for a while they can't tell whose words come from, everyone laughed for a while, and someone continued: "The road is not long, let her teach her a long lesson, she has said a lot about the Li family of the owner for so many years, but we are all careful, and we don't care about him, this time, Xiaotang has spoken out for us." ”

There are laughs and praises, and a whip responds to the rising sun, which should be the happiest way for everyone to walk.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Meng Zhenghui had already arrived in the city, the ox cart said it was a car, but it was just a flatbed car with two guardrails, and it was really incomparable with a car, and the dust along the way fell on Meng Zhenghui, and when he got off the car, he was not much better than the day he saw Lin Baitang.

After getting out of the car, Meng Zhenghui gave Uncle Zhou three cents according to what Lin Baitang had taught before, Uncle Zhou really didn't dislike it, accepted it with a smile, and asked him again: "The city is not small, where are you going, the old man will give you another section?"

Meng Zhenghui smiled and thanked Uncle Zhou for his kindness, it was really the place he was going, and this oxcart really couldn't go.

Uncle Zhou didn't say anything when he was refused, but just pointed out to Meng Zhenghui a few cheap food stalls nearby, and then he left in the car.

Meng Zhenghui watched Uncle Zhou's car go away, and then reached out and stopped a rickshaw: "Go to the Bai family in the north of the city." ”

The rickshaw was pulled by a young and strong young man, who looked like a northerner, picked up a sweat towel and knocked off the dust falling on the chair, watched Meng Zhenghui sit firmly, and then picked up the handlebar, and inquired while running: "You are a relative of the Bai family, right?"

The young man's rickshaw pulled well, fast and steady, Meng Zhenghui leaned back and closed his eyes to recuperate: "No, I'm here to find a friend." ”

The young man laughed: "The young master of the Bai family is a friend who loves to make friends, but most of them are either rich or expensive, and I have pulled several of them." He glanced back at Meng Zhenghui: "But, according to my experience, you are now here, I'm afraid you can't even enter the door." ”

When Meng Zhenghui heard this, he glanced up and down at himself, the bumps along the way, his clothes were not only stained with gray, but also a little wrinkled, although he was also a precious material, but at this moment, he looked a little embarrassed.

Meng Zhenghui himself wanted to laugh a little, I'm afraid that this young man regarded him as a poor relative and poor friend who fought the autumn wind.

The way he is now, no wonder others misunderstood, Meng Zhenghui didn't explain, just asked: "Why, have you ever seen his family turn people away?"

The young man hurriedly stopped him: "You can't talk nonsense, let the young master of the Bai family hear it, but it won't be forgiving." ”

In and out of the words, he was very jealous of the Bai family.

This is not the same as the Bai family in Meng Zhenghui's impression.

Halfway through the road, he was speechless, and it was not until he passed by a rather familiar restaurant that Meng Zhenghui stopped, paid half of the fare first, and carried his bag into the restaurant.
