Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Repentance
The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.
Because of the episode of the conflict with Xu Kun and the three, Lin Xiaotian did not tell the dumb sister about his upcoming marriage.
After bandaging the girl's house for a while, she went back to her cabin.
As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into his father Lin Xuan, who was reclining on a chair and smoking cigarettes.
"Stinky boy, where did you go to come back so late, huh? Who hit the wound on your face? ”
Lin Xuan lazily spat out the smoke ring, but after seeing the injury on Lin Xiaotian's face, his face turned cold, and he immediately half-propped up and asked.
"No, it's ......, it's because it's too dark and I ran in a hurry on the road, and I tripped over a stone on the side of the road and fell."
On the way home, Lin Xiaotian had already made some considerations, if he told his father truthfully, his father would definitely go to Xu Kun and the adults for trouble.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes.
Xu Kun's three people behaved like this, their parents were naturally not good, and there were many people on the other side, and his father would suffer a loss if he went, so he lied with a weak heart.
"Huh, fell? I guess I was beaten and didn't dare to fight back, something unproductive! ”
How could Lin Xuan not see that this kid was lying, who could wrestle and bruise his nose and face with two panda eyes?
"Don't talk about it, there's bone-setting wine in the jar, go and wipe it yourself."
But he didn't want to say more, and after knocking the remaining ash from his pipe, he pointed to the wine jar in the corner.
Anyway, my son can't do it, and I still have a grandson, so I'm too lazy to care about this stinky boy who can't make it.
Seeing that his father didn't break the casserole and asked to the end, Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took off his clothes and poured some medicinal wine on the face cloth, wiping the bruises on his body.
When the wine hit the wound, it hurt him for a while and grinned, and he didn't dare to scream for his father to hear, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, holding back his whole face purple.
After wiping the medicine and wine, he climbed into bed in a daze, and fell asleep without even eating, and there was a thunderous snoring.
Lin Xuan's mouth was dry, and after getting up and drinking a large bowl of wine, he extinguished the candles in the room and rested.
……
The next day, at dawn.
Knock knock knock......
"Lao Lin, Lao Lin? At home? ”
At dawn, there was a soft knock on the door of the cabin.
"Who? Early in the morning. ”
Lin Xuan squinted impatiently and got up, put on his clothes and opened the door with sleepy eyes.
"Third aunt? Hehe, please come in, how can you have time to come here early in the morning? ”
The door opened, and seeing that the person who came was Aunt Ma, the matchmaker who helped Lin Xiaotian get married, Lin Xuan's anger dissipated a lot, and he smiled and invited Aunt Ma into the house.
"That ......, I still won't go in, Lao Lin, let's borrow a step to talk."
Aunt Ma San hesitated, did not enter the house, looked at Lin Xiaotian who was sleeping on the bed in the house, and then pulled Lin Xuan to the courtyard of the cabin.
"What's the matter, Aunt San, so mysterious?"
Lin Xuan was pulled over and asked puzzled.
"What's that, Lao Lin, I said don't be angry, here's the thing, old Zhang's family ......"
Aunt Ma San spoke eloquently, and after listening to it for a while, the look on Lin Xuan's face gradually became ugly.
"What? Repentance? This thief Lao Zhang, I'll go find him! ”
With a low shout, Lin Xuan was about to rush out of the small courtyard at the mention of his footsteps, but was stopped by Aunt Ma pulling her sleeve.
"Don't be impulsive Lao Lin, the marriage between your two families has not been made public, and the cancellation of the marriage contract has no impact on the reputation of the two families.
Aunt Ma tried her best to dissuade her, and her words hit the nail on the head.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's footsteps froze.
Indeed, as Aunt Ma said, she can ignore the gossip of others, but her son has not yet married, if you let people know that she was repented of marrying by the woman's family, then she will not be able to raise her head in the town in the future.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Lin Xuan temporarily suppressed his anger and asked, "Third aunt, did the old Zhang family say why they regretted the marriage?" ”
"Then I'll do as I said......"
Glancing at the cabin from a distance, Aunt Ma continued: "Last night, Lao Zhang's daughter Zhang Cuihua took Lao Zhang to my house, saying that she disliked Xiaotian for not being manly, and she cried and made trouble and hanged herself in my house. ”
"You also know that Lao Zhang is this one daughter, of course, he obeys her, and he also knows that he is embarrassed to see you, so he asked me to tell you."
"No manly ......?"
Lin Xuan frowned, and suddenly thought of Lin Xiaotian's injury when he came back yesterday, could it be related to this incident?
"That's the way it is, Lao Lin, don't take this matter too seriously, even if I owe you, I will find another family for Xiaotian and will not charge you any fees."
After finishing speaking, Aunt Ma took out a cloth money bag from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Xuan.
Of course, she didn't suffer a loss, the old Zhang family gave her twice the amount of illegal money in order to make amends, and she naturally wouldn't tell Lin Xuan.
"Then thank you Aunt San."
In the last sentence of Aunt Dema, although Lin Xuan was still unhappy in his heart, he also eased up a little.
After the two finished talking about business, they chatted a few more words, and Aunt Ma said goodbye and left.
Seeing off Aunt Ma, Lin Xuan turned around and entered the cabin, took a pipe and sat on the stone steps of the threshold without saying a word and smoked.
After a short time, an hour had passed, and Lin Xiaotian on the bed still hadn't woken up yet.
"Stinky boy, still pretending?"
Lin Xuan walked towards the side of the bed and kicked the big ass lying on the side of the bed.
Although this stinky boy is delicious, he never sleeps, and he hasn't woken up at this time, so he must have heard the conversation just now.
"Oh, Dad, don't do it if you have something to say, I'll ...... I'm up. ”
Sure enough, there was pain in his buttocks, and Lin Xiaotian's round body jumped up from the bed at once, almost not collapsing the bed board.
"You also heard what the third aunt said just now, give me an honest explanation, what did you do yesterday, let the girl say that you are not manly."
Lin Xuan is not stupid, the daughter of the old Zhang family was so satisfied when she went on a blind date, but now she suddenly regrets her marriage, except that this kid has done something that makes the family unhappy, how can there be any other reason.
The bed board shook, and Lin Xiaotian hung his feet on the edge of the bed, bowing his head deeply, so as not to let his father see the smile on his face.
He was worried about marrying the Roshan that covered the sky and the sun, and he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to let him go.
Therefore, not only was he not depressed like his father, but he was happy in his heart, and he almost laughed out loud several times when he pretended to be asleep.
"Well, probably because of yesterday's ......"
But he also knew that if his father heard it, his ass would have to be kicked out.
So he put away his happy mood slightly, pretended to sigh, and explained what happened to Xu Kun and the three of them in the alley yesterday.
Of course, he hid what he fought back.
Because if he didn't dare to fight back and was beaten unilaterally, with his father's arrogant character, he would have no face to reason with Xu Kun's three elders, and he would avoid causing trouble to his father.
