Mother Lin called out Lin Yanyu who was still in the room, pointed at the boxes all over the yard, and looked worried.

"Tell me the truth, what did Yan Qi do before? Where did he get so much money?"

Lin Yanyu was indeed startled for a moment, but she had seen everything in her previous life, so she was only surprised for a moment before calming down.

She knew what her mother was worried about, and comforted her: "His previous business was very dangerous, but his money was not from any illegal sources, so don't worry. Where is he?"

Mother Lin was relieved and said, "He's chatting with your father and uncle in the main hall. If you want to see him, then come over and help serve the dishes."

Lin Yanyu thought about the last time when her mother didn’t let her serve dishes in order to prevent her from having contact with Li Yanqi, but now the opposite is true.

I couldn't help but feel a little hot on my face, and I scolded, "Mom! That's not the case."

The little girl's pretense made Lin's mother smile, "Why? I asked you to go openly this time, but you still don't want to?"

Lin Yanyu thought her mother knew something, so she avoided her gaze and blushed, wanting only to escape from her mother's mocking eyes.

"Mom, stop teasing me. I'm going! Isn't it okay for me to go?"

Lin Yanyu walked quickly into the kitchen, picked up the bamboo shoots and bacon fried by Li, and walked out pretending to be generous under the gaze of her aunt.

At that time, Li Yanqi was chatting about antiques with Uncle Lin. When he saw his sweetheart come in, his eyes lit up immediately and he stood up and took the plate from Lin Yanyu's hand attentively.

"Let me do it."

Under the gaze of the two male elders, he had a decent smile on his face, but his actions were different.

He held Lin Yanyu's fingertips with his big hand and scratched them gently. When he saw her looking at him, he raised his eyebrows at her.

Lin Yanyu's face turned red. She gave him a fierce look, turned around and left the main hall to help in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, she was greeted by two pairs of gossipy eyes.

Mrs. Li didn't know that Lin Yanyu and Li Yanqi had known each other for a long time. She just thought that like other families, they were introduced by someone else or brought together by a matchmaker, and had never met in person.

I couldn't help but lean over and ask her, "How was it? How was it? Did you see him? Are you satisfied with his looks and figure?"

Lin Yanyu knew that her aunt had no ill intentions, but how could she say that she was satisfied with Li Yanqi's figure and appearance?

She couldn't say such embarrassing words.

"I, I'll go to the front to call my eldest cousin and grandma!"

Lin's mother laughed, fearing that her daughter would be embarrassed, and said, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."

Lin Yanyu seemed relieved and quickly turned around and walked out of the house.

Li Yanqi chatted with the two elders in a casual manner, glancing towards the door of the main hall from time to time.

When he saw his future mother-in-law coming in with a pot of vegetables, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

When Lin's mother came into the room, she was also looking at her future son-in-law. When she saw his reaction for the first time, it was clear that she didn't understand anything. She remembered that her husband was the same when he was young, like bees surrounding a flower.

Seeing her future son-in-law's eager look, she felt sorry for him and deliberately told her husband about her daughter's whereabouts.

"Zhizhi went to the front and asked Yong'er to carry his grandmother over. While Yanqi is here, our family will have a good reunion dinner. Yanqi, you don't have to be so polite later. Eat and drink well."

Li Yanqi took the dish from Lin's mother and put it on the table with a gentle smile.

"Of course. Thank you for your hard work today, aunt."

Lin Xiucai also echoed: "Yanqi, let Zhizhi's grandmother meet you, and when Yong'er comes, you can have a good chat with him. You will be a family in the future, and you are of the same age, so you can visit each other more often."

Li Yanqi nodded in agreement.

He turned to Lin Jun next to him and said, "Brother, luckily you brought Yong'er back, otherwise you would look like this, ah...wait for mother...are you and Yong'er going back to the city?"

Lin Jun looked worried and shook his head, saying, "Not going back? The situation is not good right now, so I'd better not go out."

"Alas, I also heard in town that King Cheng and General Xiahou are fighting in Qingzhou, and the outcome has not yet been decided. It shouldn't affect our Chongzhou so soon, right?"

"You may not know this in the village, but in Chongzhou City, you can't even buy a bushel of rice with 300 coins. The people can no longer live happily."

As the second-in-command of an antique shop, Lin Jun sensed danger from the increasing number of common people who came to the shop to sell their heirlooms in exchange for rice.

Hearing his elder brother say this, Lin Xiucai exclaimed: "I never thought that things have become so serious. Then you and Yong'er should not go out. If things really get chaotic, at least our whole family can be together and weather the difficulties together."

Lin Xiucai frowned, full of worry: "Yanqi, do you have any news?"

After all, Li Yanqi is from the Yunlong County Government, so he has access to information more quickly and comprehensively than them.

Under the burning gazes of the two Lin brothers, Li Yanqi thought for a moment and told them everything.

"Mr. Dong has already surrendered to Xiahou Yuan. All the food in our Yunlong County and the stocks of rice shops will be sent to Qingzhou in batches to Xiahou Yuan's army. Uncle, eldest uncle, we need to prepare early and stock up on rice and food."

"Does this mean that they don't care about the lives of the people of Yunlong County?"

Lin Xiucai cried out in shock, feeling extremely indignant, but knowing that he was powerless and could not change anything, he sighed and said, "I just hope that God will open his eyes and end the war soon."

The two brothers of the Lin family were just worried when Lin Yanyu walked into the hall with Lin Yong, who was carrying his grandmother on his back. The three people sitting in the main hall hurriedly stood up to greet them. Lin Yong put Old Lady Lin on the main seat in the main hall.

After taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Huang, Mrs. Lin still slept more and woke up less, but she felt much more energetic when she was awake.

Li Yanqi glanced at his beloved who was standing beside him, then lifted the corner of his robe, knelt in front of Old Lady Lin, touched his forehead to the ground, and introduced himself.

"I am Zhizhi's fiancé, Li Yanqi. I kowtow to you, grandma."

The old lady of the Lin family squinted her dim eyes, looked at Li Yanqi from head to toe, and smiled with satisfaction: "Good, good, good, this child is handsome, get up, good boy."

He called Li Yanqi over with a smile and asked about his situation.

Li Yanqi answered obediently with his hands hanging down and his chest clasped.

The old lady of the Lin family nodded while listening, and told him: "Good boy, live a good life with Zhizhi in the future."

Li Yanqi nodded and said seriously: "Grandma, don't worry, I will treat Zhizhi well for the rest of my life. If I treat her badly, just come to me."

Hearing this, Old Lady Lin laughed out loud: "What are you talking about, kid? Hahaha."

The two sisters-in-law of the Lin family placed the prepared dishes on the table one after another.

Now Li Yanqi was no longer considered an outsider. Everyone sat at the table, it was lively and the whole family had smiles on their faces.

Li Yanqi had never felt the warmth of a family before, but he was unconsciously infected. He raised his glass with the men of the Lin family and was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Halfway through the banquet, the old lady of the Lin family suddenly said, "It's a pity that Xia Xia went to her grandparents' house. It would be nice if Xia Xia was here too."

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Mom, I've asked someone to pick her up. I'll let her go to accompany you in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin smiled and said okay, and the topic was dropped.

In contrast to the warm atmosphere here, Lin Yanxia, ​​who was supposed to be on her way back to Yunlong County, was standing outside the gate of Qingshan Academy in the rain, begging the gatekeeper of the academy.
