Husband, please lend me your virtues

"Aunt, Lin Manman is only two years younger than me, so she's not that young anymore."

Although she was the second child in her original body, Lin Manman's elder sister Lin Shulan was born in the same year as her. Lin Manman was only two years younger than her and she married with her mother when Lin Shulan was five years old.

"Why are you so vindictive, kid? You haven't learned any of your mother's good nature."

Aunt Lin Liu curled her lips and said, "If your mother were here, she would happily welcome us mother and daughter in without my asking."

Lin Zijin sneered. She thought she was taking her too seriously. It was true that Mother Lin was soft-hearted, but she would not be stupid enough to help her niece who coveted her daughter's fiancé and dragged her daughter into trouble.

"Sixth Aunt, my mother is kind, but she will not watch someone who slanders her daughter live in our home."

"You are so young yet you hold a grudge like that. Did our Manman slander you? You just said the wrong thing in a hurry."

Aunt Lin Liu felt that Lin Zijin was too unreasonable and treated her daughter like a sinner just because she did something wrong.

"Yes, yes, my cousin is young enough to be a mother. Sixth aunt, please take your little girl to find another place. We can't afford to have someone like you live here."

"You! You! You are not—"

Aunt Lin Liu was just about to use all the skills she had gained from quarreling with people in the village over the years to give this ironic niece a severe scolding and to calm her down, but Lin Manman, who had come to her senses, grabbed her hand.

"Okay, Mom, since my cousin doesn't welcome us, let's just leave."

Lin Manman spoke awkwardly, not wanting to continue to argue with this cousin who always poked people in the lungs. She had other things to do tonight.

"Let's go slowly without seeing you off."

Lin Zijin said this lightly, and the expression on Lin Manman's face became even uglier.

"I just don't believe that such a small village like Xiaolin can't accommodate us, mother and daughter."

Lin Manman stubbornly pulled Aunt Lin Liu away from Grandma's house, not even taking the items scattered on the ground. Aunt Lin Liu felt distressed when she saw this.

"Hey, Manman, don't pull me, our things are still here! Even if we want to leave, we have to take them with us!"

These were bought with a lot of money. If they were left here, Aunt Lin Liu would be very sad. As soon as they left, an old woman pretending to be passing by would come and pick them up.

"Sixth Aunt is right. Even if you find a place to stay, you can't just buy these things casually. Take this quilt, for example. It uses a lot of fabric."

Lin Zijin guessed that when the grandmother kicked them out of the house, even if she found the private money they had hidden, she would not be kind enough to return it to them.

When Lin Manman heard Lin Zijin's words, which were apparently well-intentioned but secretly mocking her for not being able to afford to buy things, she put her hands back, which were originally intended to pack up with Aunt Lin Liu, and pulled Aunt Lin Liu away.

"Girl, when did you become so strong?" Aunt Lin Liu wanted to break free from Lin Manman and go back to pick up those things, but she couldn't break free.

"Manman, you don't know how expensive oil and salt are until you run the household. I bought those things bit by bit with great difficulty. It would be a huge expense to buy them all again. Why don't you ask mom to get them?"

"No, Mom, I'll find a way to buy a new one. Aren't new ones good?"

Lin Manman had already thought about dividing the family property. Since they treated her like this, they should not take advantage of her when she became rich in the future.

Later, Lin Manman and Aunt Lin Liu walked away, and Lin Zijin could no longer hear the conversation between them. She turned back to the house, but found her mother listening behind the door.

"Mom, what are you doing standing here?"

"I heard your voice and that of your Sixth Aunt, so I was curious and lay down behind the door to listen."

Mother Lin is not stupid. She will not go out unless her daughter can handle the mother and daughter. If she goes out, Aunt Lin Liu will pester her and want to live in her house, right?

Mother Lin didn't want to invite two troublemakers to live with them.

"Is Lin Manman really so shameless as to give Xie Zhenguo gifts in public?"

"When I was delivering it, I was caught by my grandmother."

"Did Xie Zhenguo answer the phone?" Mother Lin stared at Lin Zijin nervously.

"Before I could take it out, my grandmother came over."

Following Lin Zijin's words, Lin's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, fortunately this boy knows his limits."

"Maybe Xie Zhenguo just didn't have time to answer it?"

Lin Zijin teased, but Lin's mother's expression changed again, "He dares? If Xie Zhenguo gets entangled with Lin Manman, Mom will go to the Xie family immediately to cancel your engagement!"

If Xie Zhenguo was really the kind of man who had an affair with his fiancée's cousin, Mother Lin would definitely not let her daughter down. She would not care that the marriage was arranged by Father Lin and would just cancel it. She and Father Lin only wanted their children to live a good life.

"Mom, how about we cancel the engagement right away?"

Lin Zijin said this to Lin's mother, but she didn't expect Lin's mother to go over with her to cancel the engagement immediately. Lin's mother was somewhat traditional and didn't want her daughter to cancel the engagement as it would damage her reputation, especially when Xie Zhenguo didn't show any obvious wrongdoing, she would not take the initiative to cancel the engagement.

"It's just that now it seems that it's just Lin Manman who likes Xie Zhenguo unilaterally, and Xie Zhenguo hasn't done anything to let you down, so there's no need to cancel the engagement right away."

"Xie Zhenguo is the son-in-law your father has been choosing for a long time, and he also saved his father for a favor."

Mother Lin enumerated the advantages of marrying Xie Zhenguo. After all, in her eyes, Xie Zhenguo, who had not revealed his true colors, was a future son-in-law with good conditions, and she did not want her daughter to miss him.

"He is in the city, and he gets a salary every month. Even if he has to pay some money to the government, the remaining money in his hands, apart from the expenses, can be saved up over time. It is better than you marrying someone else and digging for food in the fields."

Lin Zijin didn't want to argue with Lin's mother about this. Without seeing Xie Zhenguo's true face, it was impossible for Lin's mother to give up this son-in-law who was good in every way in her eyes. So she just nodded perfunctorily and took the opportunity of cooking to avoid Lin's mother's nagging.

Lin Manman and Aunt Lin Liu found the village party secretary and rented the abandoned house at the foot of the mountain as their place to stay.

After paying two months' rent, Lin Manman got the key and threw it to Aunt Lin Liu. She hurriedly asked the village party secretary to write a note to go to the city.

When Lin Manman arrived in the city, she did not buy equipment for their new home. Instead, she went to the black market and found a man with his face covered with a black cloth. She looked at the packets of medicinal powder on the man's stall and knew that the stall owner in front of her was the person she was looking for.

Lin Manman squatted down and began to look for what she wanted, but she was not familiar with these things and couldn't find them after searching for a long time.

"Boss, do you have any aphrodisiac for sows?"
