CHAPTER XXV

Lin Baoru has no good impression of Liu Shulai, but she still respects Mrs. Liu.

It can be said that she feels that Mrs. Liu is one of the very few people in this era who has a very positive outlook and does not protect her shortcomings. As a mother, Mrs. Liu did not blindly protect and condone her son's mistakes, and she had the means and courage, so that Lin Baoru, who already had the concept of equality between men and women, liked it very much.

Later, when she saw Mrs. Liu's short-term protection methods, she was shocked to realize that her impression of Mrs. Liu and the actual situation were outrageously different. Of course, that's another story.

When Liu Shulai, who was taught a lesson, he escaped from his mother's clutches with both hands and feet, and hid behind Lin Mancang in a smoke. He looked over to see that his mother didn't chase after him anymore, and suddenly thought with some sadness and indignation, it is not all good to have such an uncle. At least, it's not going to be a good time for his mother to chase him out from behind people.

Mrs. Liu saw that her son was hiding without interest, so she could only stare at him twice, and then pulled the stunned Lin Baoru and said softly: "Don't worry, that kid has rough skin and thick meat, and it's not a matter of taking two hits." ”

Lin Baoru greeted Mrs. Liu's dignified and kind smile, and there were some subtle feelings in her heart. When she heard Mrs. Liu's words, she sneered even more in her heart, and the ghost was worried about the person who couldn't spit out ivory from the dog's mouth.

However, although she had a lot of mental activity, she was still calm and normal on her face, and let Mrs. Liu pull her inside.

She guessed that Mrs. Liu and her mother must have reached some consensus, at least after Zhao Li's accident, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to refuse to have a relationship with the Liu family.

If before, she and the Liu family were reluctantly involved by relying on the marriage book, and they might have cut off contact at any time due to the withdrawal of relatives.

Now, the Liu family should be an umbrella that can shelter their second room.

At least the Liu family and Mrs. Liu are here, and the Zhao family can't blatantly look for her trouble. Even, if she becomes the young grandmother of the Liu family, then the Zhao family will not dare to easily move her mother and eldest brother.

Lin Baoru thought about this matter clearly, but even if she understood this truth, she was still not willing to marry herself casually. is still married to such an unobtrusive person, even if his nature is not bad, but just thinking of his ability to provoke right and wrong is enough for Lin Baoru to have a headache.

If you want to say that the only benefit that can be said is probably that he is a scoundrel enough, if he gets married, he should be able to deter his grandmother and aunt.

"Baoru, let you in, my mother wants to hear what you plan to do with the Liu family."

As Lin Baoru expected, Wang hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Lin Baoru glanced at Wang and saw that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't look like she was coerced and threatened. It is estimated that what he was thinking about happened to be analyzed by Mrs. Liu and the Wang family.

She thought quickly in her mind, and Liu Shulai also said just now that he was used to messing around. And in and out of words, he doesn't care about the affairs of men and women. Even if she gets married in the future, it is very likely that she will be left alone in the empty room, while he will still have fun outside.

If that's the case, that's quite in line with her heart.

After a year or two of such a detached appearance, she will find a reason to leave. No matter how bad it is, she can find a way to let Liu Shu come to rest her, and when the time comes, there will be no threat from the Zhao family, and she will help her mother's family live a good life, which can be regarded as a good thing.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips, blessed her body and saluted: "It's all up to the mother." ”

That look, as obedient as you want, you can be as obedient as you want.

As soon as she relented, Mrs. Liu's heart completely fell.

Mrs. Liu was happy in her heart, and directly pulled Lin Baoru to her side, smiled and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and wanted to put it on Lin Baoru.

"This is the jade bracelet that the old man brought back from the capital when he was young, and the color is excellent, and it can't be found in our world......"

When Lin Baoru heard this, she hurriedly pulled out her hand and said, "Madame, don't break the bank, the Liu family has already paid a dowry and a dowry, and now there is no reason to add such a valuable object." ”

She was a little blunt, but her words were very thoughtful.

Since it is a way to take refuge in this family business, Lin Baoru does not intend to owe anything to the Liu family. In the future, she will take care of Mrs. Liu and take care of the Liu family, which can be regarded as a return.

Mrs. Liu didn't know what she thought, but when she saw that she was not greedy for things, she was even more satisfied.

Liu Shulai, who was scratching his ears and cheeks outside, didn't know his mother who was talking inside, and sold him in a few words.

He is worried now, if Lin Baoru doesn't want to marry the Zhang family, where else can he go to find someone who knows the roots and can still be trusted.

Mrs. Liu walked out of the inner room with the Wang family with a happy face, maybe she had solved a matter of concern, and she looked at her son a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"Come on, let someone urge the shopkeeper to see how our food hasn't come up."

Liu Shulai was softly called by her, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly looked at Lin Baoru behind her, who was silent with her head down.

In his opinion, he and Lin Baoru should be people on the same front.

He was not satisfied with his family's affairs, and felt that his mother's parents were messing with mandarin duck scores, so many bright girls didn't choose, so he had to pick a wilted black heart lotus.

And Lin Baoru is probably not satisfied with this family matter, otherwise her mother would not be able to say anything about quitting her family.

It was precisely because of Wang's resignation that his attitude towards Lin Baoru eased a little. At least I think that this girl didn't deliberately calculate herself, anyway, she was also frightened because of herself, so he didn't care about using his own family to break up.

It's a pity that when Mrs. Liu called him a second time with a bright smile, he didn't see any clues in Lin Baoru.

At this time, he was up and down in his heart, and Mrs. Liu was already talking affectionately with the Wang family and took a seat. Even with Lin Baoru, he was pulled aside by his mother and sat down, and finally left him a place to serve food.

Liu Shulai went to find the shopkeeper in a hurry, and wondered how to talk to Lin Baoru in his heart, so that he could discuss the follow-up matters with her.

So, the famous gentleman in Liulin Town, when the delicacies came up, leaned over and put the dishes in front of Lin Baoru first. By the way, he also served tea and poured water for people in a smug manner.

It's a pity that the people at the table can't understand his thoughts.

Although Mrs. Liu was surprised that her son suddenly opened his mind, she saw that Liu Shulai was finally interested in women other than cats, dogs and dice, and she was even more determined to let him get married.

Wang was very worried at first, and his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Liu Shulai, but now that he is so attentive, he feels that if he can be good to his daughter, this family business may not be as bad as Aunt Lu guessed.

Lin Mancang just looked at it coldly, without any thoughts. Only when Lin Baoru picked up vegetables for him would he turn his head and hum.

Lin Baoru looked at Liu Shulai's appearance, and just had no heart to bear. In fact, she may not be testing Mrs. Liu's attitude, wanting to see if Mrs. Liu will be as open-minded as she said.

As for Liu Shulai's thoughts, even if she guessed it, she would definitely not say it.

So the group had lunch in their own minds. When it was time to leave, Wang quietly squeezed his daughter's hand under the table, and then carefully handed out a coarse cloth purse from his sleeve pocket......

Xu was chatting happily, and when sending off the Wang family, Mrs. Liu also asked the shopkeeper to transfer some food and desserts, and asked the Wang family to take them back for a few small ones.

Wang couldn't refuse, and hurriedly looked at Lin Baoru for help.

Lin Baoru chuckled and took the basket and said, "Then thank you Madame for your generosity." ”

Wang didn't know why his daughter took something, but at this time, he could only thank him with gratitude.

On the way to the outside of the town, Lin Mancang, who had been bored and didn't speak, looked at the Wang family and his sister with some disapproval, and said in an awkward tone: "I shouldn't have picked up things just now, it's not good for my sister." ”

Lin Baoru turned her head to look at him, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. She understands now, this big brother, he just doesn't talk much, but he knows everything clearly. It's just that he doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't want to resist.

In the final analysis, life was too depressing at the beginning. So much so that Lin Mancang would rather be a fool in other people's mouths than express himself more.

"Big brother, don't worry, my mother gave me the silver before leaving." Lin Baoru tried her best to make her tone sound more relaxed, diluting the sadness of Wang and Lin Mancang, "I went to the counter to settle the bill while the shopkeeper went to fill the food. ”

Although most of the time, the payment is to find the shopkeeper. But sometimes in case the shopkeeper is not there, the guy who helps at the counter can also help settle the bill. It's also really busy in the restaurant today, and the guy went to the counter to help for the first time, so I don't know that the private room is the owner of the restaurant.

Lin Mancang heard her explain this, so he didn't say anything anymore. Just looking at the way I want to say and stop, there must be something that has not been uttered but I don't know how to express it.

At this time, there were significantly fewer people in the market, and those who came to set up stalls from afar began to clean up their bodies. After all, it gets dark early in winter, and if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid you'll have to travel at night when you go back.

There were probably fewer people, so when Lin Baoru bought a few new bowls, the stall owner also sent an extra black-brown plate. Although it doesn't look good, it's better than nothing.

The stall owner is also a talkative, and while tying up a bowl to Lin Baoru, he muttered, "Hey, haven't you heard, there was a girl on the side of the overpass at that time, and she smashed away a group of bullies with a bowl." My bowl must be stronger than the one the girl bought, you can buy it back and use it with confidence, it will not crack for three or five years. ”

His seat was already close to the entrance of the town, so naturally he didn't see it with his own eyes, but it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of it with great interest.

However, his words shocked Wang's heart again, he didn't expect the matter to spread so quickly. It's just the time of a meal, and the vendors at the entrance of the town have heard the wind, if it is......

If the sister-in-law who hurriedly informed him at that time and went back to spread the news again, then ......
