"Patriarch, what are you doing here??"

Bai Yu walked in front, looked at the group of people gathered in front of his house, and said in a deep voice.

That's right, the group of people gathered in front of their house was none other than the patriarch and the Ji clan, as well as other villagers in the village.

The people standing in front of Bai Yu's door, after hearing the voice, immediately turned their heads to look at Bai Yu, with a hint of excitement and flattering smile in their eyes.

"Lin Yuan is back. ”

The patriarch did not respond to Bai Yu's words, but looked at Ji Linyuan, who was following behind Bai Yu, and the smile and excitement in his eyes could not be suppressed.

As soon as the patriarch's words were finished, the Ji clan people on the side also echoed, looking at Ji Linyuan's eyes with flattery and excitement.

When Ji Linyuan went to the government to take the test, they all played with the spirit of twelve points, waiting for the news of the release of the list, the news of Ji Linyuan's high school Xie Yuan, they already knew that they originally wanted to find Ji Linyuan in the county seat to say goodbye, but in the end they stopped the patriarch, saying that Qingming was coming soon, his father and eldest brother were still in Sanpai Village, and they would always come back to sweep the tomb when the time came, and it was always more convenient to say anything in the village than in the county seat.

In this way, they endured not going to the county seat, but they didn't wait for anyone in the first and second ranks, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, if they didn't come back, they wouldn't care about the inconvenience in the county seat.

But no, they are back today.

Bai Yu couldn't help frowning as he looked at the patriarch and the Ji clan who were standing at the door of the house with an excited face.

Two steps walked in front of the patriarch: "Patriarch, are you in trouble?"

Bai Yu's voice sounded again, and the patriarch and the others realized that there was such a person as Bai Yu, and set their eyes on Bai Yu's body.

"Little widow, didn't we hear that Linyuan High School Xie Yuan came to congratulate you?" The patriarch's tone was not bad, but he was also a little lazy and lazy, after all, the little widow would not agree to what he asked, and he still found Linyuan after all, so why are you looking for the little widow so quietly.

Besides, now that Linyuan understands Yuan, it is the scenery of their old Ji family, and she is a little widow who will not have to rely on their Linyuan family in the future.

The patriarch thought so, and of course the people of the Ji clan on the side thought so.

In their consciousness, now that Ji Linyuan understands Yuan, he knows that he will not leave the Ji family if he thinks about it, so if he doesn't leave, he still has to listen to Ji Linyuan.

After all, Ji Linyuan is the head of the family.

Bai Yu looked at the attitude of the patriarch, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, chuckled without making a sound, and glanced at Ji Linyuan behind him.

"Look for him, then look for him. As he spoke, he directly crossed the patriarch and the others, opened the door and entered the courtyard, and closed the door with a bang.

The patriarch and the others saw that Bai Yu didn't let them in, so they closed the door like this, and suddenly couldn't help but darken their faces, they came to find Ji Linyuan, but they always sat in the courtyard and said, what does it mean to keep so many of them outside and stand?

Thinking like this, the patriarch turned his head to look at Ji Linyuan, who was standing there with an inexplicable expression.

"Lin Yuan, you are the head of the Ji family, many things, you can't be like this, now you are Xie Yuan, and in the future, you will be the champion master, but it is not heavy, and the court will let you take office in the future, so it will not be good in the future." The patriarch didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was obvious, that is, now that Ji Linyuan was in high school, it was time to set rules for the family.

Although Bai Yu is his sister-in-law, she is so rude.

"But no, a woman is a woman, what does it mean to dare to wrestle with the old man. ”

With the patriarch taking the lead, the people of the Ji clan followed suit, the little widow was spicy, they didn't dare to provoke, and they also paid Ji Linyuan's money for repair, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Now Ji Linyuan understands the yuan, and then the exam is the champion, and their clan can give him the silver for the repair and examination, after all, such an adult is indebted, if he wins the champion, then what will they do in the future, that is, they are not successful, Xie Yuan took office, and the official helped them these clansmen.

So, they were little widows who made a fuss.

"If you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, it will be difficult for her sister-in-law to lose her face like this. ”

Everyone present looked like the elders were good for him, and said seriously.

The people who came were all from the Ji clan, but there were also some people who didn't agree with what they said.

What the hell is going on with this little widow, they also see it in their eyes, it's really good for Lin Yuan, before they wanted to sink the little widow into the pond, this thing is not authentic, it is normal for her not to give a good face, but how did it change the taste in the mouths of these people.

But there are few people who think like this, after all, but if they open this mouth, they are afraid that they will offend the people of this clan, so in the end they still endured it and did not speak.

As soon as he heard this, Ji Linyuan, who was still standing there with an indifferent expression, suddenly sank his face, looked at the people present, and couldn't help sneering.

"What about my sister-in-law, I'm afraid I don't need you to care. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the patriarch, with a bamboo-like figure, and slowly stepped forward.

"Patriarch, what the hell is the matter with them coming?"

The patriarch looked at Ji Linyuan's calm face, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that Ji Linyuan had protected the little widow the most before, originally he thought that it was because he had to rely on the little widow to earn money for him to pay for him to protect her like this, but now that he has learned the yuan, there is no need to rely on the little widow anymore, you must know that their Ji clan will definitely not stand idly by. The patriarch was about to speak, but someone on the side couldn't help it.

"Lin Yuan, aren't you afraid that the little widow won't give you a bundle of cultivation, don't worry, our Ji clan doesn't earn as much as the little widow, but it will definitely not be less of your bundle of cultivation, this little widow really should be in charge, in the future, you will be the one who wants to be an official master, so let her lose face like this." ”

"I said, you can't say that, the little widow can see what Lin Yuan is like, what we did before was not authentic, and it doesn't make people fall on their faces, and that person is not a dog, so you can't remember to eat or fight." ”

As soon as the Ji clansman finished speaking, a simple middle-aged man on the side spoke.

said, looked at Ji Linyuan: "Linyuan, I shouldn't have said this sentence originally, but your sister-in-law is not easy, you can't forget your roots, and she can't blame her for doing this, after all, we didn't do it authentically before." "Who can treat the person who wants her life with a good face, he can't anyway.

As soon as this man finished speaking, he immediately received a group of hostile eyes.

"Ji Tiezhu, why are you talking, you are still not from our Ji clan, what's the matter, are we still wrong? This Lin Yuan is the head of the family, and he can't take care of this matter?"

"If you can't speak, don't speak, look at what you say, the little widow is good to Lin Yuan, you can smash his face like this, Lin Yuan is a person who wants to be an official, can make a woman fall in the face? ”

As soon as the middle-aged man named Ji Tiezhu finished speaking, someone on the side spoke in an unkind tone.

Ji Tiezhu is an honest man, and when this person said this, he couldn't help blushing.

Everyone present felt that Ji Linyuan had understood the yuan, and he definitely didn't want to give the little widow a woman's face, because he didn't care about it at all, and he couldn't wait to reduce the white jade to the mud, this Ji Tiezhu said such a thing, Ji Linyuan would definitely not be happy.

Ji Tiezhu didn't expect Ji Linyuan to respond to his words, and when he saw this, he immediately blushed, and it took a long time to raise the hand that had been hanging down, it was a small string of field chickens.

"There are nothing valuable at home, I think you don't lack anything now, if you don't dislike these field chickens, just take them." ”

When the others saw that Ji Tiezhu was carrying something, their eyes almost glared out, he actually brought something, they came together, and they didn't pay attention because they were happy, but when they saw him, they only had a bunch of field chickens, so they didn't worry, now Lin Yuan can't eat any meat, and he can still look at that string of field chickens?

Just thinking like this, but seeing it coldly, Ji Linyuan reached out and took the thing in his hand: "Thank you, Uncle Tiezhu, this chicken is a good thing, how can I dislike it." ”

But no, most of the people in the village are not rich, they can't eat meat, they all go to the field to catch the field chicken to make a tooth sacrifice, it can be said that it is very expensive.

When Ji Tiezhu saw Ji Linyuan take his things, he immediately smiled honestly and rubbed his hands: "It's good if you don't dislike it, it's good if you don't dislike it, I'll leave, you guys talk slowly."

Ji Tiezhu didn't want to get along with these people in the first place, but they didn't want to see him anyway, and he didn't want to get together with them, so he left after saying a word to Ji Linyuan.

Looking at Ji Tiezhu, who left, the faces of the other people present suddenly became embarrassed, they didn't bring anything, they felt that it was all a family, and they still needed something.

"Patriarch, if you have nothing to do, let's go, we'll leave later. ”

Ji Linyuan collected the smile on his face, glanced at the patriarch and the others and said.

The people of the Ji clan, who originally had a bad face, suddenly became more and more embarrassed after hearing Ji Linyuan's words.

This is obviously driving them away, so how can it be done, this matter has not been said yet, gone, if you want to find them again, you have to go to the county seat, how much does it cost to go to the county seat.

Thinking like this, these people couldn't help but set their eyes on the patriarch.

Feeling the gaze of the clansmen, the patriarch pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Lin Yuan, we came to you, in addition to congratulating, there is something else. Saying that, the patriarch looked at Ji Linyuan: "It's hard to say that so many people are standing at the door, let's go and sit inside and talk." ”

What the patriarch said seemed to listen to Ji Linyuan's opinion, but he didn't give him too many choices, he directly said that it was not good for so many people to stand at the door and speak.

Anyone with a good eye will invite them in.

However, Ji Linyuan also did the blind one at this time.

"No, you can talk about anything here. Ji Linyuan said quietly.

When the patriarch heard this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, but seeing that Ji Linyuan did not give in at all, he finally had no choice, and said in a deep voice: "Linyuan, last time I went to the county seat, I saw the little widow open a restaurant, your uncle said, your sister-in-law's restaurant business is very good, you have to buy a lot of vegetables every day, and you can't be busy." ”

"The clansmen are also thinking about you, thinking that you are so busy, when it comes to helping you work in the restaurant, and how expensive it is to buy vegetables in the county, the clansmen are all croppers, and they all grow vegetables, what vegetables you want to buy can be bought directly in the village, and you can just look at the price and wages, and I believe that you will not treat them badly." ”

As soon as the patriarch's words were finished, Ji Linyuan couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and was about to speak, when the originally closed courtyard door was opened with a squeak, and he saw Bai Yu looking at the patriarch and the Ji clan people present with a mocking expression.

"About this restaurant, the patriarch is afraid that it is better to talk to me, after all, I am the owner of the restaurant. ”

Looking at the straightforward faces of these people's clothes, Bai Yu really admired it very much, what made them so arrogant, they were still slandering her a moment ago, but at this moment they were justified in going to her restaurant to do things, and they said that they were to help her, and the wages were given.

How did they open this mouth?

The patriarch who was originally waiting for Ji Linyuan to express his position, when he saw Bai Yu come out, his face suddenly became a little bad, when he met Bai Yu in the county seat before, he mentioned that he originally wanted his daughter-in-law to help in Bai Yu's restaurant, but she blocked him from speaking in a few words, and finally had to give up.

But I also knew that Bai Yu was unwilling to let the Zhou family go to her restaurant, so she came back and told the people of the Ji family about Bai Yu's opening a restaurant in the county town.

This, he didn't agree alone, so many people came to the door, he couldn't and didn't agree, right? Besides, Lin Yuan was still in the middle of the Yuan, and I am afraid that she would not have the final say in this family.

But Rao is like this, at the moment when he saw Bai Yu open the door and come out, the patriarch's heart was still a little bottomless, and his face became a little embarrassed.

The people on the side didn't think as much as the patriarch, in their consciousness, anyway, Ji Linyuan was in the middle, where could her little widow speak.

"Little widow, what do you mean? Why, we are kind enough to help you, and you don't want to do that. ”

Standing at the door, someone couldn't help but speak.

"But no, we are talking to Lin Yuan, what do you say when a woman speaks, what does a man say, what does a woman say. ”

After one person spoke, someone began to help.

While speaking, someone looked at Ji Linyuan's body: "Linyuan, you should say something, can you do it or not, what's the matter, let the little widow be the master of this matter, you must know that you are the head of the family." ”

Drunk with these people's words, Ji Linyuan's face became more and more embarrassed, and finally, Ji Linyuan slowly walked to Bai Yu's side, and looked at Bai Yu who stood up when he was about to speak, where did he still not understand what his sister-in-law meant, and it was because he understood that Ji Linyuan's heart became more and more soft.

For a long time, just when everyone thought that Ji Linyuan was going to respond to their words, he spoke.

"The restaurant belongs to the sister-in-law, so naturally the sister-in-law is in charge, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the sister-in-law is the head of the family. ”

As soon as Ji Linyuan's words were finished, the faces of the clansmen who were still happy suddenly turned blue.

"Lin Yuan, what do you mean by this? You don't want us to come over and help? We're all for your good. ”

"Look at how good the vegetables in our village are, can they be worse than the ones bought in the county seat?"

The clansmen who were still talking well, after hearing Ji Linyuan's words, suddenly became a little unkind, and their tone was a little questioning.

Bai Yu listened to it from the side, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter?

As he spoke, he glanced at the people present, and the mockery in his eyes was obvious.

"It's good for us? Why don't I know, when Lin Yuan was a little talent, why didn't anyone treat us well? Why didn't anyone treat us well when we didn't have money?"

As he spoke, Bai Yu glanced at the people present: "Tsk, it's for us at this time, why are you embarrassed to say it?"

"But it's not impossible for you to insist on helping us for good. ”

The people who were getting up heard Bai Yu's words, their faces became more and more ugly, and they were about to speak when they heard Bai Yu say this, and they suddenly stopped making a sound.

"Since you are here to help us lightly, then don't give money, if you want to go, go ahead. ”

To tell the truth, these people, even if they don't give money, she doesn't want them to go to her restaurant, who knows what she plans in her heart.

Originally, I thought that Bai Yu should come down when he said this, but when he heard him say this, he suddenly exploded.

"Little widow, what do you mean by that? ”

"We help you that is love, and it is also appropriate to collect wages, as soon as you open your mouth like this, you will say that you will not be paid, and you will be helped. ”

"But no, little widow, you just don't think about yourself, you have to think about Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan is Xie Yuan now, what if these words reach other people's ears. ”

"Not really. ”

"Not really. ”

For a while, the people present talked nonsense, and when the patriarch made a statement to Ji Linyuan, he knew in his heart that it was not good, and he still underestimated Linyuan's maintenance of the little widow.

It was because he thought it was bad, originally he thought that Ji Linyuan maintained the little widow because he had to rely on her for studying, but he forgot that just after the little widow hanged herself, the little widow had no money, and Ji Linyuan still maintained her tightly.

Thinking of this, listening to these people talk more and more unlikely, the whole person's face suddenly turned black.

"That's enough, shut up. ”

The patriarch let out a low shout, and the people who were originally arguing suddenly stopped.

"Little widow, they are all straightforward, don't forget to go to your heart, and besides, they are all for the good of Linyuan. ”

These people, really when Ji Linyuan was a showman in the past, at that time, although Xiucai was also terrible, but who knows if he can be admitted in the future, if he can't pass the test, then he will always be a showman, then there is nothing to say, but now Ji Linyuan has been in the middle of the Yuan, that is, he is no longer taking the exam now, and in the future, people can also take office as officials, these people let her think about Ji Linyuan's reputation when they opened their mouths, isn't this threatening others?

Sure enough, after Bai Yu heard the patriarch's words, he smiled coldly: "Yes, they are really straightforward, and they can think about it for Lin Yuan every time, it's really difficult for them." ”

Every time they fail to achieve their goal, they will always rely on a sentence, for the sake of Linyuan, and it sounds good to think about Ji Linyuan, but in other words, isn't it threatening her with Ji Linyuan's future?

As soon as Bai Yu finished saying this, the patriarch's face became more and more unpleasant, but it was the other people on the side, with an indignant look on their faces, if it weren't for the patriarch here, I am afraid that they would start to make trouble again.

"Little widow, everyone is a member of the same family, we have to help each other when there is something, the clansmen in the clan are not thin on Linyuan, now that you are well, you should always help everyone." ”

At this time, the patriarch did not say that they helped them, but instead played the sympathy card, and while playing the sympathy card, he did not forget to mention their favor to Ji Linyuan.

After hearing the patriarch's words, the people of the Ji clan felt more and more that Bai Yu and they should arrange some work for them in the restaurant, they really helped their old Ji family before.

After listening to the patriarch's words, Bai Yu looked at the people standing on the side again, and couldn't help but be happy, they didn't know where they came from with such a big face, so they were embarrassed to open this mouth.

"Patriarch, are you sure they are not thin on Lin Yuan??" Bai Yu looked at the patriarch mockingly and asked, the patriarch was stunned by Bai Yu's question.

"They treat my family Linyuan is not thin, my mother-in-law's new funeral, it is the aftermath of Linyuan and me, the funeral fee is the money that Linyuan copied books outside, I can't think of hanging and waking up, my body is weak, and it is also Linyuan's own money, and then later, I was sick and had no money to see a doctor, and Linyuan went to the dock to carry the work. Saying this, Bai Yu's voice was a little choked, she thought that he would never be able to forget, she was seeing Ji Linyuan lying in the medical hall with a bloodless face.

"When he went to the dock to carry the work and was injured and unconscious, where were you, these so-called clansmen? As he spoke, he paused, and suddenly looked at the patriarch: "Ah...... I forgot that the patriarch had borrowed twenty cents from me at that time, and asked me to make an IOU, saying that it would be clearer to make an IOU. ”

When Bai Yu counted these things, the clansmen present did not speak, and the patriarch's face was not good-looking, especially when Bai Yu said at the end, the patriarch was not good, and his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

God knows, the patriarch has already regretted it, and he also hates the Zhou family in his heart, if it weren't for the guy who didn't see the money, how could he let the little widow make an IOU, if he hadn't made this IOU, now they still have some affection.

Ji Linyuan listened to Bai Yu talk about what happened when he was injured before, and his heart was faintly distressed, he always knew that his sister-in-law's life was difficult during that time, but Bai Yu never mentioned it, he never asked, but when he heard Bai Yu's shallow arrival, he felt extremely distressed in his heart.

He couldn't imagine how hard his sister-in-law worked at the beginning.

"Yes, we didn't help you after Lin Yuanniang's accident, but before, we helped them a lot. ”

The villagers on the side began to turn over the old accounts, in fact, after Ji Linyuan's father died, the people of the Ji clan helped Ji Linyuan less, and the reason why the Ji family was able to provide Ji Linyuan with education was because of Ji Qingshan.

Bai Yu didn't know if they had helped them before, but Bai Yu was impressed by their shamelessness by being able to turn over old accounts so shamelessly.

Just as she was about to speak, Ji Linyuan, who had been standing beside her without speaking, walked out and protected Bai Yu behind him.
