Old man Lin had just returned from Qinghou County, and he didn't know about Lin Xia'er jumping into the river to commit suicide, and when he heard the word defilement, he immediately thought crookedly. Angrily rolled up his sleeves, wanting to teach the dog man and woman a good lesson, "Xia'er, why are you shameless to hook up with a man!" ”

Hearing Old Man Lin's scolding, Lin Xia motioned to get down from Lei Biao's arms.

I saw Old Man Lin rushing into the house and picking up the broom to be beaten, but was stopped by Lei Biao, Lin Xia raised his head and said bluntly, "What is the defilement of the body, I am obviously still innocent, did my mother take my reputation into account when she spoke like this?" She forced me to commit suicide by jumping into the river, it was Lei Biao who saved me, my mother not only did not thank the life-saving benefactor, but also asked the life-saving benefactor for compensation, it was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin! ”

Old Man Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then glared at Du Shi viciously. Although Du Shi usually loves money and is stingy, he is still very afraid of Old Man Lin and listens to him. Du Shi was glared at by Old Man Lin, and immediately shrank his head, "It was Xia Er who he saved......"

Aunt Zhang, who lived next door, was listening clearly and came out to speak, "Old man Lin, I also saw Xia Er when she fell into the water, it was this man who saved Xia Er." Sister-in-law Du said that the man touched his body and asked for twenty taels of silver, but the man said that he was willing to marry Xia Er's girl, and Xia Er also said something to promise each other. ”

After learning the ins and outs, Old Man Lin's face was much more ugly. He also knew that Lin Xia was going to marry the county lord as a concubine, and the lord was willing to pay forty taels of gifts. With a roll of his eyes, he came up with an idea, and said to Lei Biao, "If you want to marry our family Xia'er, you will get fifty taels of silver!" ”

Lin Xia didn't know the value of the fifty taels of silver, but when he saw that Du's eyes were shining, he obviously felt that the fifty taels of silver was not a small amount of money, and what he said was simply selling his daughter! The impression of this family in my heart fell to the bottom, and I wanted to refute it, but I heard Lei Biao agree.

"Yes." Lei Biao said coldly.

Du's eyes lit up, "Are you serious? ”

Old man Lin was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that this Lei Biao was usually silent, often hunting in the mountains, living in a small thatched house in the mountains, and he could actually take out fifty taels in one breath?

"Three days later, I will ask the matchmaker in the village to come to my door. You have to take good care of her. ”

After throwing down the words, Lei Biao glanced at Lin Xia, who was also looking at him, entrusted it to the Zhao family, and left.

Lin Xia was shocked, she didn't expect to marry so easily? Looks like he's still a rich man! I kept blowing up the lights for Lei Biao in my heart, and the more I watched it, the more satisfied I became.

Du Shi immediately turned his head and said to his man, "He shouldn't be bluffing us, right?" Where did he get so much money as a hunter? ”

Old man Lin was obviously relatively calm, "I'll know in three days." ”

Du Shi nodded, his face showed a look of satisfaction, but when he saw Lin Xia's wet face, he sank, "Look at you, what do you look like!" Hurry up and get inside and change into dry clothes! ”

Lin Xia was still weak, and only walked into the house with the help of Zhao, changed into clean clothes, and lay on the bed to rest.

Early in the morning, Du Shi ran over and knocked on the door, scolding in his mouth, "Dead girl, don't think that you are about to get married and you don't have to be busy with the work at home, hurry up and get up for me!" ”

Listening to the shrew's scolding outside the door, Lin Xia thought that it was better to endure it, and the person would come to the door to ask for a kiss in three days! Unhurriedly changed his clothes, and Lin Xia came out of the house.

Du Shi was standing at the door, his eyes were about to burn a hole in Lin Xia's body, and he rolled up his sleeves with his hands on his waist and felt like he was about to scold again, "What are you procrastinating!" Hurry up, get me the food served! ”

Lin Xia turned around and glanced at himself secretly, entered the kitchen, and took the plate in Zhao's hand. Lin Xia looked at the dry green pickles on the plate, a few big white flour steamed buns, and then at the thin water in Zhao's hand, with a few green vegetables hanging on it. I can't help but pout, this ancient people all ate like this?

Lin Xia's family has opened a time-honored restaurant for more than 100 years, and she has been hanging around in the kitchen since she was a child, and she has eaten a lot of delicious food and drink. I often travel with my parents and eat a lot of authentic snacks, although I have also eaten a lot of provinces, but I still haven't finished eating.

After all, it is a tip of China, and every province can come up with a variety of specialty snacks. After all, it is still the inheritance of the ancestors, think about the ancient court feast, the Manchu and Han full feasts, a full hundred and eight dishes, and eat them in three days, it is conceivable that Chinese cuisine has a long history.

But she Lin Xia crossed over, why is it different? I just felt depressed.

The dishes were served on the table, and Lin Xia looked very shabby, without any meat and oil. Then I saw Du Shi take out three boiled eggs and give them to Old Man Lin, Lin Chengzong and Lin Chengyao.

Lin Chengzong saw his daughter Lin Xinxin pitifully looking at the eggs in his father's hand, and his heart softened and wanted to give half to his daughter.

Du Shi's face was flat, and he looked at Lin Chengzong with pouting eyes and said, "What kind of eggs do girls eat!" If you can't work and marry a wife, you will be a money-loser in the future, what do you do to raise such a good person! ”

When Zhao heard the words, he immediately gave Lin Xinxin a mouthful, "What eggs to eat, give me food!" ”

Lin Xinxin didn't cry when she was slapped, she didn't speak while gnawing on the steamed buns, but her little face was glowing with a little red mark, which made people feel distressed to watch.

Lin Chengzong saw that his mother and his son had this attitude, and immediately coaxed, and ate the boiled eggs in two or three bites.

Du Shi was very satisfied with Zhao's reaction, so he didn't speak again.

In this way, the family ate quietly. And Lin Xia was shocked, she didn't expect that this patriarchal family was simply crazy, just eating an egg, and women couldn't eat it! It's scary!

The wind was surging in his heart, but Lin Xia still pretended to be calm on the surface. After all, she can't protect herself now, and she can't help her nominal niece.

After eating calmly, Old Man Lin arranged today's work for Lin Chengzong and Lin Chengyao, and now only the three of them are busy with farm work at home.

Because the second brother Lin Chengguang was seventeen years old when he was admitted to Xiucai, he immediately married the daughter of the lifting man, Xu, and later gave up after failing to take the exam, Xu couldn't bear to be depressed by his father-in-law, and wanted to find something to do to distract himself, so he took help from home, bought a small shop, and did a grain business, and both husband and wife lived in Qinghou County.

And the youngest Lin Chengzu went to school in the county, preparing to take the test to become famous, and Du's favorite son was him.

Du Shi hurriedly arranged for Zhao to mow the grass and feed the pigs, and arranged for Lin Xia to carry water and water the vegetables, Lin Xinxin was too young to work, so Du took it.

Lin Xia was speechless, thinking in his heart that Du Shi was treating fifty taels of silver? But he still helplessly picked up the wood and dragged it to the small river to fetch water.
