Chapter 4: Joy at First Sight

Lin Qiantan didn't expect that she would be so coincidental and would look at Wang Ergou as soon as she came up. It was pitch black all around, and Lin Qiantan couldn't see his over-looking face clearly, but she could distinguish his eyes as bright as night stars.

But it was only for a moment, and Wang Ergou looked away. He was talking to Wang Dagou closely, but Lin Qiantan couldn't hear it clearly through the sound of the rain and wind.

But even if you don't listen, you know what the Wang brothers probably said.

In his previous life, Wang Dagou took a boatload of people and took advantage of the storm to avoid a relatively safe waterway. Wang Ergou at that time - if Lin Qiantan is not mistaken, he came out of the boat to find his brother.

Sure enough, then everyone saw that Wang Ergou controlled the boat to turn around, and went to the entrance of the village together with the big boat.

Qianshi Village leans against the water's bank, and a small river that is not too wide flows through the village, connecting the river where merchants from outside are constantly coming and going.

A few days ago, Wang Dagou supported the big boat at home and went out to do business as usual, and he originally asked if he could go home and take a look today.

Although Wang Ergou will also remember his brother, he is simply heartless compared to his mother who can't eat and sleep as long as he doesn't see Wang Dagou come back on time.

On this day, he went to Lai's house in the village to eat and gamble, and when he returned home in the evening, he realized that his brother had not come back at all.

Now, without his mother's urging, he also knows that he is in a hurry. Then the storm came, and all the people in the village stopped their boats back in the harbor, but Wang Dagou was nowhere to be found.

So he didn't say a word, grabbed the rain gear and walked out.

Who knew that he had just taken control of the remaining boat in the family and walked out of the village a few steps away, when he ran into his brother who had come back just a moment before the storm was completely down.

And Wang Dagou not only came back by himself, but also dragged back a boatload of passengers.

After Lin Qiantan glanced at Wang Ergou, the old man, she didn't put him in her heart for the time being. Wang Ergou took a look at it and thought about Lin Qiantan. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but think that the young lady of this family was so good-looking, just the kind he liked.

There are some things that Lin Qiantan didn't pay attention to in his previous life.

For example, if she looks at it now, she can clearly see that although Wang Ergou followed his brother to take them ashore and walked honestly all the way, he actually peeked at her from time to time along the way.

That gaze was well hidden, if it weren't for someone like Lin Qiantan who had prepared in advance, it would probably not be easy to find.

Lin Qiantan didn't hide or avoid at all, just look at it, just as if he didn't find anything.

She thought to herself: Maybe if she had changed her before, probably just because someone peeked like this, she would be annoyed and angry.

Lin Qiantan thought of this, and the corners of her mouth were slightly sarcastic - Yin Wei's boudoir education was indeed very successful. She was taught to be a well-behaved lady.

I can't stand being looked at, let alone a "big thing" like stealing her belly pocket and ruining her reputation.

In the previous life, Lin Qiantan would send Wang Ergou to the official regardless of it, not without reason.

However, looking back after Lin Qiantan has experienced some setbacks, this trivial matter is not even a sesame seed.

Wang Dagou only cared about reprimanding his younger brother, and didn't notice that his younger brother's eyes always drifted backwards.

He led a group of people to the Wang family's house, and he rambled endlessly. I didn't notice that Wang Ergou wasn't listening carefully at all.

The Wang's compound is located at the western end of the village. Three or four large houses are scattered and symmetrically distributed along the central axis.

Although there are no carved beams and paintings, the houses made of ordinary rough wood and straw give people a sense of awe.

Lin Qiantan has been to this place, but she will not be surprised.

But for the Song family, Jinhe and Zhimei, who really came to the Wang family for the first time, they couldn't help but praise the house a little.

After all, as a fisherman's home in a small fishing village, this is too luxurious.

But if this is not the case, in this kind of stormy and rainy weather, where will the Lin family's master and servant, the people in their teens and twenties, go to arrange their accommodation in a unified manner.

The short section of the road has long been muddy, making it difficult for people to walk an inch. Lin Qiantan's trouser legs and skirt corners have long been dirty and full of mud because of this.

Even though she was wearing a thick layer of clothes and was protected by two girls and the nurse with her body sandwiched in the middle, she was still half wet of her clothes.

When the group saw the door of the big house, they couldn't help but speed up their pace. For a moment, no one bothered to speak.

Even Wang Dagou, who had just been teaching his younger brother that he should not go out on an adventure in a boat under the heavy rain, stopped his mouth. Impatiently, he stepped forward and pushed open the unlocked door and broke into the threshold of his house.

A man named Chen Wu who was guarding the door was startled by his master at first, and then immediately became happy again.

"Da Lang is back!"

Judging from the size of the house, although it is a fisherman's family, this Wang family is probably also a "rich family" on the boundary of Qianshi Village.

Therefore, for the Wang family to have servants to serve, the people of the Lin family are not so strange.

But what if it's weird? From the master to the slave and the nurse, none of the Lin family was not poured into a soup chicken, and who would take a look at Chen Wu more.

Wang Dagou brought the guests back, and of course he was responsible for settling in well. Chen Wu got the order, and hurriedly ran like a scud to prepare the boarding chores of more than a dozen people of the Lin family's master and servant.

Distribute the house, take out the old clothes for bathing, and finally put down a pot of ginger soup to ward off the cold.

Lin Qiantan is the master, so naturally she doesn't have to squeeze a room with a group of men. She was led by a maid named Ji Yue, and unsurprisingly followed her to the room where she had lived in her previous life.

Originally, Lin Qiantan proposed to visit the widowed mother of the Wang family according to the lines of her previous life.

But the lady Wang, when she heard that her eldest son and younger son had come back together, was relieved, and when she heard that there were guests in the house, she simply claimed that she had laid down and did not even want to see her son.

In total, most of these details are exactly the same as those things that happened once in Lin Qiantan's memory.

Lin Qiantan looked up at the string of bacon still hanging under the porch, and then looked at the room where she still had some impressions in the image in her mind, and her mood was complicated.

But she didn't hesitate and stepped in.

The descendants of the Wang family were already boiling hot water for them and providing them with baths. What Lin Qiantan has to do is to wait patiently in the house for the time being.

On the side, Waitmei had already spread out the burden made of impermeable fabric and put it on the table, and began to hurriedly select some essential supplies for Lin Qiantan that might be used for bathing later.
