Farmer's Favorite

He is only 27 now, and the rest of his life will really make him live alone, so Lin Xiaoshuang naturally can't do that.

He was indeed moved by what Liansheng said earlier.

Either the man is powerful or powerful, or at least he can catch people. Anyway, he is really good at money now, and Wu Tingyi is the most suitable person in the village.

If it was possible, he might really agree to this matter.

Not to mention whether Wu Tingyi will agree, but if he agrees, the two will get married.

That completely fell into Lian Sheng's plan.

Lin Xiaoshuang fell on his stomach involuntarily. There were some things he didn't dare to talk about with his family, let alone outside.

However, he really regards Liansheng as a confidant, and has confided some things to him.

Back then when he was taken to the mansion by the master, the wife was extremely displeased and poured soup and medicine for him in private.

If it wasn't like this, how could he not have an heir after so many years of the master's favor, but if the master's heir can be left behind, no matter how much the wife dislikes him, he will not be in this situation now.

And this matter, he also told Lian Sheng as a lifelong regret.

He has also seen a lot of dirty things in the inner sect over the years.

Liansheng's calculation was nothing more than that he and Wu Tingyi were married, but they were unable to give birth to Wu Tingyi's offspring.

In this way, I can only borrow my stomach.

Lian Sheng is the only suitable person by his side.

Once Liansheng gave birth to a child, there was only one fate for him.

It's just that the death is unclear.

And Liansheng, who has Wu Tingyi's child, can use this to take the position.

Lin Xiaoshuang smiled bleakly.

He really didn't know whether to find it funny or not.

Liansheng probably overestimated him too much. Wu Tingyi valued Wenzheng so much. Apart from Wenzheng's good looks, there must be other reasons that they don't know. Lin Xiaoshuang dares to conclude that even Wenzheng this time In the event of an accident, a man like Wu Tingyi would never take him seriously.

Even if he also has good looks, he will never fall into Wu Tingyi's heart. Everything Liansheng plotted was wrong from the very beginning.

……

And at the other end.

Village head Lin rushed to the town's yamen with a few people.

When the yamen servant saw the person coming, he didn't have the usual impatience on his face, but was extremely enthusiastic. Hearing what Village Chief Lin said about his visit, he immediately notified the people inside, and invited him to sit down in the side hall first. with.

Village head Lin buried his surprise in his heart. Although the yamen servant was so polite, he did not accept it directly, but still showed great respect.

Only when people left did they dare to let out a long sigh.

Although their village didn't get any credit for the bandit incident last time, but now they are treated so warmly by the people in the yamen, Village Chief Lin can say that none of the villages around them are like this.

A smile appeared on Ben's slightly ugly face, and he knew that kid Zhuang Xinyan, as long as he made a decision, he did nothing wrong.

Waited not long.

Village head Lin suddenly waited for the county magistrate's call.

My heart skipped a beat, and my face couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Even though he had met the county magistrate several times before, every time it made him nervous and nervous.

Following the guide, Village Chief Lin went alone.

After entering the hall, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Caominxishan Village..."

"Okay, there is no need to give such a big gift, get up quickly." The magistrate Jiang who was sitting at the head of the hall waved his hand.

The director at the side also stepped forward and helped Village Chief Lin up.

Immediately, Village Chief Lin showed a grateful look on his face, which made other people in the hall very satisfied.

Afterwards, the county magistrate Jiang said: "I heard from the yamen servant that one of the people in your village is a criminal slave?"

"Exactly." Village head Lin quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, especially the matter that Lin Xiaoshuang kept Liansheng because of pity.

What he is most worried about now is that the people in the yamen will think that the people in their village are covering up criminal slaves. If that is the case, they will not be able to distinguish clearly with a hundred mouths.

County magistrate Jiang had a serious expression on his face.

On the other hand, the director at the side said: "It's a coincidence, the last time someone arranged to send the person kidnapped by the bandits back to the village, someone mentioned Liansheng, but it was different from what Village Chief Lin said. Instead of being sold to a widower by her natal family, she suddenly appeared in the widower's house. From the time she appeared in the village until the bandits entered the village, in just one year, two people died in the widower's house, and the cause of death was somewhat unknown. white."

"Really?" County magistrate Jiang asked in a deep voice.

The head book nodded, and he continued: "It was the widower's old lady and his daughter who died. Because the widower didn't want to investigate further, their village didn't report it. According to the villagers who survived, when the bandits When he entered the village, the widower resisted the bandits to take Liansheng away, and fell down after being stabbed several times. If I hadn’t heard many people say this, I really wouldn’t believe it was the same person that Village Chief Lin said. "

Isn't it.

According to Liansheng himself, his husband's family has been abusing him and treating him extremely badly.

But according to the people in that village, the widower was obsessed with Liansheng, and he didn't even care about his life.

In other words, they don't even care about the lives of their family members.

"Why didn't you say something like this earlier." County Magistrate Jiang shook his head slightly.

The chief bookkeeper sneered: "At the end of the year, I was busy. I planned to have someone notify Village Chief Lin, but I didn't want to forget about it when there were too many things. Moreover, no one could have imagined that this person would be a criminal who escaped. slave."

"You." County Magistrate Jiang shook his head helplessly, but from the tone of his voice, he didn't mean to blame.

Village head Lin naturally wouldn't blame him, he quickly said: "The adults are busy, this is just a trivial matter, and nothing bad happened in our village."

After saying a few more words, Village Chief Lin resigned and left.

In the hall, there were only two people left.

County magistrate Jiang stood up, took two steps, and said, as if chatting, "This Xishan village is lucky. Not to mention the danger is saved, the most important thing is that someone is willing to help the whole village."

"Isn't it? Is there any village around here that is as lucky as Xishan Village?" The master book echoed, and then asked: "My lord, what do you think Liansheng should do?"

"Find out the origin first, and then hand it over to the relevant people. We'd better not get involved in such trivial matters." County magistrate Jiang said.

Just when the chief secretary was about to come down, an official from outside rushed in, ignoring any etiquette, and went directly to the county magistrate, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The master saw the seriousness and surprise on the county magistrate's face.

Afterwards, the county magistrate was even more shocked: "When did such a big man come to our town?"

The officer clasped his fists and bent down: "The subordinates don't know either, or we didn't know until he came to the door, what do you think?"

The county magistrate rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Come here for Liansheng, so maybe it has something to do with Xishan Village? Then should I go make friends?"

"Master County Magistrate, that person is still waiting outside the door, do you see?"

County magistrate Jiang gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, since you are a fugitive slave, who dares to say that if you escape the first time, you can't escape the second time. You ask someone to bring Liansheng to that man."

"I obey." The officer was about to leave, but then hesitated for a while, and asked: "Then, do you want to send someone to follow this person and see his..."

"No need, you must not do this." County magistrate Jiang stopped quickly. Even if he couldn't make friends, he didn't intend to become antagonism with this big man. Now for a fugitive slave, getting into this relationship is already enough for him Very beneficial.

When the official sent away, the master book looked a little unclear, so he asked quickly.

However, Village Chief Lin was completely unaware of this.

The person he had just handed over was handed over to a mysterious person.

Village head Lin returned to the village, he just told the other people in the village about Liansheng, so that they can have a weigh in their minds, and don't bring that kind of ambiguous person into the village again in the future. What happened, otherwise who would take the responsibility?

In fact, this is also for Lin Xiaoshuang to listen to.

After all, no matter how kind the people in their village were, they would not suddenly keep someone by their side who they had only known for half a day, and almost caused disaster.

After Lin Xiaoshuang heard it, only he knew what he would think in his heart.

Putting this matter aside, two or three days later, Xishan Village ushered in the busiest time.

Liu Yuan, a native of Zi, brought forty or fifty workers to Xishan Village to build houses.

Almost every so often, you can see men working.

With such a big fanfare, many people were extremely curious, and some people even came to the door, willing to buy salted eggs at their outside selling price. Zhuang Xinyan also sold them, but the quantity was not large, and the most Only fifty pieces were sold at once.

With such a small amount, it is fine to eat at home, but once it is used for business, it is not enough at all.

But they don't sell much, and with Bafang Pavilion and Yamen as their backing, they dare not use strong ones, so they can only grit their teeth and let go.

Houses are being built.

Some people look at it and it's hot.

Lin Wenjue waited for a few days, but before the old woman came to the door, he was very annoyed and decided to come to the door again.

When the old woman was alone, he stepped forward and said viciously: "You old woman, do you really think that I dare not do it? If you don't give me the recipe of Zhuang Xinyan's salted eggs, I promise to take the old man's grave I’ve been dug up, you have to know that I’m still the old man’s son, as long as I tell the patriarch to move the grave, they will agree, who knows whose bones will be buried when the time comes?”

Lin Mashi clenched his fists, feeling extremely angry in his heart.

Then Lin Wenjue slowed down again, and he said: "Of course, if you listen to me, mother, and send me the recipe of salted eggs, I will definitely burn incense sticks for dad every now and then, even my children and grandchildren will do the same. I will definitely not cut off the incense of my father, even you, I will take you home and provide for you so that you can enjoy your old age in peace."

First threatened and then sweetened.

If it wasn't for the fact that the old woman lived with Zhuang Xinyan and had the opportunity to get the salted egg recipe, he wouldn't bother talking to the old woman.

However, fortunately he has this opportunity, if he can really get the formula of salted eggs, then he will make a fortune.

And what he just said was not a lie.

If the old woman is really ignorant and refuses to come down, then Lin Wenjue will definitely dig the old man's grave and vent his anger.

He won't get well, and he won't let the old woman live comfortably.

Thinking like this, although there was a fake smile on his face, the expression in his eyes was greedy and disgusting.

Lin Mashi really couldn't understand why the child she brought back back then turned out like this. She asked herself, the one she was most worthy of all these years was this adopted son, but at that time she never thought that the two of them would actually be like this. Raised a white-eyed wolf.

Lin Mashi tightly closed her eyes, then opened them again, she said: "Tomorrow I will come to visit."

After speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Lin Wenjue a chance to speak again.

And Lin Wenjue was overjoyed. Although he didn't like the old woman, he took advantage of the old woman's shortcomings. Whenever she encountered the old man, she would definitely compromise, and it is the same now.

He was gearing up, already imagining the happy life of being rich and powerful in the future.

Lin Ma returned to the farmer, had dinner and went to bed early.

Until the morning of the second day, she wore the new clothes given to her by Xiaozhuang and his wife, and she was neatly dressed, with the wooden hairpin on her bun, and headed towards the back mountain with a basket on her shoulders.

A piece of land in the back mountain was circled by the Lin family as the ancestral grave.

The ancestors of the Lin family have been buried in this place for generations.

Among the other high tombs, one is somewhat new.

Madam Lin endured the soreness and sat on the ground.

She brought out the prepared wine and vegetables in the basket, and chattered: "Old man, you always talk about me. Now that you are down here, I am afraid that you just want someone to chatter in your ear. It's gone." Bar?"

"But don't worry, wait a few more years, when I go down, I have a lot to say to you."

"...It's been 40 or [-] years. When the two of us brought Wen Jue back from the outside, how happy and excited we were. During that year, every time I slept until midnight, I would wake up to see the child. Is it still by my side? At that time, I hurt him."

"He's still so young. He just brought back a small one with scars all over his body. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have believed that the parents were so cruel that they beat the child like that."

"... Tell me, when did it start? Wen Jue changed? In the first few years, Wen Jue was so cute. Looking at his small appearance, I was really willing to give him everything. But later, how did it become like that.”

"Empty my family money to send him to study, but he stole money from the school, found him a job in the town, and ended up owing foreign debts and escaping home. It was also from that time that he even learned to beat people with his hands .”

Lin Mashi wiped away the tears, with a wry smile on his face: "I am lucky. I met you. I have never heard a harsh word in my life. I have been doted on by you for most of my life. In the end, I was not beaten by my own man." However, he was beaten up by his own son."

"I still remember how angry you were at that time, but what can you do after you are angry, who told him that he was our son. If it wasn't for what happened later, you wouldn't think about expelling him The door, but he was not expelled, but you left first."

Lin Ma picked up a small flagon and poured out the wine at an angle. The wine kept spilling on the ground. She said softly, "After so many years of delay, it's time to understand."

After speaking, Lin Ma stood up.

Turning around and leaving, the direction he was facing was not the banker, but the village chief's house.

At this time, at the dealer.

Lin Qi looked around a few times, and he asked the people around him: "Where is Grandma Ma? Why didn't I see her?"

Zhuang Xinyan put his body on Lin Qi's body, and he shook his head: "Go out, don't look at Grandma Ma's age, she has ideas in her heart, don't worry about her."

"You can see it too?" Lin Qi asked, "I always feel that Grandma Ma is a little absent-minded these days."

"It's just those few things that can make Grandma Ma worry. Since she doesn't talk about it, let's not ask about it and just pay attention in private." Zhuang Xinyan said lightly.

Lin Qi also understood that Grandma Ma didn't like to cause trouble to others, and now she didn't want to make them worry too much by hiding it from them.

Zhuang Xinyan saw that the little husband was a little tired, so he held his hand and said: "The workshop doesn't take much time and effort, and the general outline can already be seen. Let's go and see if there is anything that needs to be improved. The place."

Lin Qi, who was being led, said, "But I don't understand."

"It's good if you like it, and it's not good if you don't like it. There's no need to understand or not." Zhuang Xinyan said it as a matter of course.

Lin Qi laughed out loud immediately, and not long after, he was dragged out of the house by his own man.

The workshop occupies a large area.

It is indeed not as complicated as building a house.

Moreover, Liu Yuan brought all acquaintances, and the construction speed was much faster.

Lin Qi couldn't take it for granted, but looked at the expressions on the faces of the people around him, and thought he was quite satisfied.

At this time, Lin Qi asked suddenly: "I thought it was strange before, but I never asked why Wu Tingyi knew that Lian Sheng was a criminal slave? Could it be that the two of them knew each other?"

Zhuang Xinyan said clearly, "Don't talk about him, even I know about it."

This time, Lin Qi was even more surprised. He asked, "How do you know?"

Zhuang Xinyan raised his brows, "At that time, the officials rescued the group of people from the bandits. Those Shuang'er and daughters were all dressed in ragged clothes, and even some clothes were not covered. Liansheng was like this. Scars, but I can see the word of crime clearly, and I think Wu Tingyi is the same."

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and frowned, "What are you doing staring at someone's back for no reason?"

Zhuang Xinyan was dumbfounded immediately, this turning point seemed a bit big.

"Huh?" Lin Qi crossed his arms and looked at him blankly.

Zhuang Xinyan raised his hands, "I said, if you saw it by accident, would you believe it?"

Lin Qi glanced at him suspiciously. After a while, he couldn't hold it back anymore. He narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "Idiot."

Zhuang Xin stretched out his hand, and was about to make trouble with his little husband, when a soft cough came from beside him.

The couple turned their heads to look, but what they saw was the old doctor.

"Old man, why are you here?" Lin Qi asked.

The old man's house is on the other side, and he likes to be deserted, so he usually doesn't go out.

Come now, it must be for something.

The old man stroked his gray beard and said, "I want to borrow your dog for a day."

"Charcoal cake?"

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The charcoal cake has not yet decided its temperament, I don't know what you want it to do?"

"I'm going to go up the mountain tomorrow, and I want your dog to accompany me." The old doctor said it out in the future.

Now, the two husband and wife were a little surprised, if it wasn't for the seriousness on the old man's face, they would have thought it was the old man who was joking.

The charcoal cake is so big now, apart from playing, maybe it can't do anything else.

Don't let the old man take it up the mountain, if he is not sure about going up the mountain, the charcoal cake will run away happily, and he can't even call back.

A smile appeared in the old man's eyes, and he said: "You guys are still too young, this dog is definitely beyond your expectations."

Zhuang Xinyan thought for a while, then he said: "Well then, I have nothing to do with Lin Qi tomorrow, why don't I follow you, with the charcoal cake here, I really don't worry about your safety."

Lin Qi followed suit and nodded. Since he got married, he has only gone up the mountain once, so it is inevitable that he has some thoughts.

Now that his man took the initiative to speak, he was naturally very willing to follow.

This season, maybe we can pick some wild fruits back.

Unexpectedly, the old Langzhong shook his head, with a strange face on his face, and said to Zhuang Xinyan: "You can follow along, but you can let someone with a baby in his stomach go, I said Zhuang boy, you The heart is really big enough.”
