Ch 319: Qin Huairu 5
The two women couldn’t carry so many things out at once, but luckily they came up with a brilliant idea: taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, they threw Niu Dazhuang’s body into a dry well, and then put the gold and silver jewelry into the coffin.
The two were also afraid that their actions would be discovered by others, so they stayed by the coffin all day long. People who didn’t know the situation thought Third Wife was so affectionate.
Originally, First Wife couldn’t stand these little vixens, and plus they didn’t have any sons. She originally wanted to sell them all off, but seeing how affectionate they were, she kindly raised her hand and let them roll out directly, which was considered leaving them a life.
Second Wife cried and sobbed, but as soon as she left the residence, her face immediately changed, and she took her bundle and left with a former steward of the residence.
After Niu Dazhuang was buried, Third Wife dared not delay. After notifying their people, Third Wife tightly held Lin Lang’s hand, wanting Lin Lang to go to Xi’an with her.
“I couldn’t help myself before, but now that I’ve regained my freedom, I want to do what I want to do, and I want to make a contribution to this country.” Third Wife’s eyes sparkled, “You are also a young person with ambition, would you like to leave with us?”
Lin Lang politely refused, “My home is here, and I really can’t leave. Besides, I’m just a child, others won’t suspect me, and I can better lurk here.”
Third Wife patted Lin Lang on the shoulder, “Then I’ll leave everything to you. Write to me if anything happens. I’ll come back to see you after the lockdown is lifted.”
After Lin Lang smiled and sent Third Wife away, she was about to pack her things and go home. It was said that a little girl like her didn’t need to go home and could continue to work at the Chief of Police’s house.
But now First Wife’s family is in dire straits. Liu Dazhuang offended many people in the first place. Now that Liu Dazhuang has suddenly passed away, those people will naturally retaliate.
However, after searching for a long time, they didn’t find the little money that Niu Dazhuang had hidden before, and he didn’t even deposit money in the bank, not even an account.
There was no way, they could only vent all their anger on First Wife. Later, they found out that this was a wife who didn’t know anything, so they could only hold their noses and let her go.
Lin Lang, when passing by the city gate, suddenly saw steamed buns. Thinking that there was still a distance to walk home, she walked to the steamed bun stall, preparing to take out money to buy a few steamed buns, but she discovered an acquaintance.
Looking at the man in front of her who was as wooden as a log, Lin Lang raised her eyebrows slightly. In addition, she hadn’t hidden her appearance during this period of time, and she was as delicate as a fresh flower, coupled with her curved eyebrows and eyes, making the person opposite her even more dazed.
“Hey, little dazed one, how much is a steamed bun?”
“I, I, I…” He Yuzhu couldn’t say a word, because the girl in front of him was so beautiful, she simply grew into his heart.
Lin Lang smiled and put the steamed buns into her arms, “Little dazed one, I don’t have money to buy your steamed buns, but how about I exchange them for something else?”
He Yuzhu carefully glanced at Lin Lang, his eyes began to dodge. He had never seen such a beautiful girl since he was a child.
“I… I won’t take your money…” He Yuzhu stammered out these words.
Lin Lang counted ten steamed buns, then tapped the other person’s forehead, “I won’t take your things for nothing. How about this, are you married? If you don’t have a wife, how about I be your wife? Just consider it as paying for your steamed buns?”
โโโ
“Ah?” He Yuzhu was startled and quickly waved his hand, “No need, these steamed buns aren’t worth much, and you’re so beautiful, it would be a loss if you married me.”
“How can this be called a loss? As long as you take care of my food and drink, besides, isn’t love a matter of mutual consent? I just took a fancy to you.” Lin Lang thought the other person was really a fool. Although the time was a little earlier, it didn’t matter. It just so happened that she didn’t have to marry into the Jia family, let alone face that mean Old Woman.
Although she is only fifteen years old now, and He Yuzhu is only thirteen years old, there is an old saying that goes, “Marrying a wife three years older brings a golden brick.” She is exactly three years older than him, and the two of them are a match made in heaven.
He Yuzhu’s eyes were almost straight, completely unable to believe that the fairy in front of him was willing to be his wife. Besides, he was still a greenhorn, not worthy of her at all.
After Lin Lang took ten steamed buns, she told the other person where her home was, and finally said very firmly: “Anyway, I’ve decided on you. Remember to come and marry me quickly, otherwise I’ll become someone else’s wife, and you’ll regret it then.”
He Yuzhu was in a daze. After the person left, he realized that he had really gotten a wife for nothing. Now he didn’t have the heart to sell steamed buns anymore. Instead, he took the things home and told his biological father about exchanging ten steamed buns for a wife.
His biological father slapped his thigh angrily when he heard this, “You silly child, do you know how cheap girls are now? I heard that one steamed bun can be exchanged for a girl. You exchanged ten steamed buns for one, you’re too much at a loss. This deal is really a loss. No, where does that wretched girl live? I have to get the steamed bun money back.”
He Yuzhu: “I didn’t suffer a loss. I got a wife for nothing. Anyway, I’m determined to have this wife. You quickly go to propose marriage.”
“You haven’t even grown your hair yet, what wife do you want?” Father He was so angry that his lungs hurt, but thinking that he had been getting hot with the White Widow recently, his face changed, and he glanced at the son next to him, and the girl next to him who didn’t understand anything, and sighed heavily.
“Alright, since you’ve taken a fancy to her, then I’ll go and help you take a look. If she’s really suitable, then I’ll help you bring her back as your wife.” Father He specially took a day off. After inquiring about the address, he found that this girl was quite famous. She ran to a wealthy family to work as a servant at a young age, and had only returned in the past few days, and the little girl was very beautiful.
Father He was also a knowledgeable person. What beautiful girls hadn’t he seen? How could he be fooled by other people’s words? But after seeing the real person, he couldn’t help but sigh that this girl was really good-looking, just like a New Year picture, and when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and at a glance, she was the kind of girl who was suitable for home and good at giving birth.
Father He slapped his thigh, “Oh my, my silly boy has really found a treasure.”
No matter what, such a beautiful girl must be settled quickly, but Mother Qin was unwilling. This girl was so capable, and so beautiful, how could she marry a young man who was three years younger and didn’t know anything? Even people in the city wouldn’t do.
“Mom, I’ll make my own decisions about my marriage. Anyway, I agree.” Lin Lang raised her chin, “Father He, don’t be idle, quickly find a matchmaker, let’s quickly settle the marriage.”
Father He also wanted to settle this matter quickly. When his son got married, the burden on his shoulders would be lifted, and he could leave with the White Widow without any burden.
Mother Qin was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at her daughter’s head and scolding, “You silly girl, why did you choose such a family? You’re not bad-looking, and you’ve seen the world outside. These days, the people who have come to propose marriage have almost broken our doorstep. I didn’t expect you to take a fancy to a greenhorn. I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”
