Chapter 48
When the women in the group chatted at the entrance of the village, they didn't know that Lin Dabao happened to hear these words when he came from the small road.

Just now the village chief went to their house and said that he wanted to set a few tables for him and Lin Sanrong, but he was praising Lin Sanrong between the lines.

Now his jealousy towards the Lin family is getting worse and worse, and the young tea tree leaves that just grew by the roadside are crushed by him.

In the evening, seven or eight tables were set up in the ancestral hall, and the dishes on the tables were rich, and the heads of every household came.

Lin Changlu and Lin Sanrong, and Lin Changgui and Lin Dabao sat at the main table.

The village head stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand impassionedly, "Today is a big day in our village. Both Lin Sanrong and Dabao have been admitted to Tongsheng. We wish them both a bright future. Nominations on the gold list will add luster to our Taohua Village. Come and have a toast!"

Everyone stood up and drank from the cups in their hands.

Lin Sanrong was not pretentious, and directly drank a cup, but Lin Dabao had no thoughts, and took a sip with a forced smile.

Then the village head asked everyone to sit down and chat while eating.

At this time, someone asked Lin Sanrong, "Sanrong, is there any secret to your success in the exam! Tell the children who are going to take the imperial examination later when you go back."

Lin Sanrong said generously: "Actually, there is no trick, just read more books. In fact, I should thank one person for my achievements. It is he who inspired me."

The village head asked suspiciously: "Oh! Who is that person?"

Lin Sanrong raised his wine glass and turned towards Lin Dabao, "It's Dabao. If it wasn't for him, I might not be able to do so well in the exam."

Lin Dabao didn't know what he was going to do, so he just replied perfunctorily, "Uncle is being modest."

Lin Darong continued: "The last time we made a bet at the Lan Family Bookshop, as long as I could be admitted to the Tongsheng, you and your classmates would pay me two hundred taels. You also know that our family is poor. But for the tuition fees in the next three years, of course I have to go all out, which motivates me to do my best."

Without waiting for Lin Dalang to speak, he said again: "I don't know when nephew Dabao's silver will be cashed?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the ancestral hall stopped their chopsticks and looked like they were watching the excitement.

They thought the two families had reconciled, but they were still opposed to each other.

Lin Changgui's dark face turned from black to red, wishing he could leave here immediately.

Originally, he felt uncomfortable being overwhelmed by his younger brother, but Lin Sanrong would tell this in front of so many people. Wouldn't this make them lose face!

Lin Dalang wanted to save face, so he said bravely, "Don't worry, our family is not short of this money, and we will send the money to you in three days."

Lin Sanrong didn't feel any embarrassment, and he didn't need to save face when people humiliated him.

The village chief saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, "Come and eat vegetables, it's a big deal that our village has two children at once. I wish you all the best in the next courtyard test."

Everyone chatted and ate lively.

Everyone went home drunk.

Both Lin Changlu and Lin Changgui were helped back home.

One is happy to drink too much, the other is depressed to drink too much.

……

A Li picked a handful of wild cotton flowers on the side of the road and tied them with dogtail grass.

Jumping and jumping happily walked towards Lu's house.

Just on the road, I ran into Cheng Jiaojiao who was coming from the opposite side.

"A Li, let me play with you!"

"No, last time you fell it yourself, and you said I pushed you down, so I don't want to play with you."

"I accidentally fell down last time. I thought you pushed me. At worst, I apologize to you. I'm sorry!"

"Hmph! You have already hurt my young heart."

After saying that, Ah Li ran away.

Only Cheng Jiaojiao was left stomping on the spot.

"Smelly fish, do you think I really want to apologize to you! It's a beautiful thought."

After Ah Li arrived at Lu's house, Lu Yun told her that Lu Qingling was in the bedroom, and she ran over and opened the door.

"Brother Ling, what are you doing?"

Lu Qingling was reading a book, and when she heard Ah Li's voice, a smile appeared on her stern face.

"I'm reading, are you finally free to visit me?"

Ah Li smiled and handed the flowers to Lu Qingling.

"Brother Ling, I wanted to come here yesterday. My mother misses me so much, so I will stay with her at home! The flowers I just picked are for you."

Lu Qingling deliberately teased Ah Li and said, "A few flowers will send me away?"

Ah Li tilted his head to look at him and asked, "What does Brother Ling want?"

Suddenly she thought of something, "I earned a lot of money, why don't I give you the money!"

"Silly girl, you can't tell everyone you have money in your family, not to mention that I have more money than you, so why would I want that!"

"I only tell Brother Ling, I don't tell anyone else."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I like your Huahua very much, thank you."

At this moment, Ah Li hugged Lu Qingling's face and "baji" and just mouthed, and the saliva was printed on his face.

Lu Qingling's face turned red in an instant, no one had ever kissed him at such a young age.

Ah Li grinned and giggled, "My mother likes me to kiss her the most, so let me kiss Brother Ling too!"

Lu Qingling was very happy in her heart, but she still pretended to be serious on the surface, "You can't kiss other men except me, do you understand?"

"Where are my father and brother?"

"No way."

"Oh alright!"

Lu Qingling was in a good mood, and took Ah Li outside, and asked someone to bring her delicious pastries.

Ah Li asked suspiciously while eating the sweet and soft pastries: "Brother Ling, why are your pastries so delicious? Even the pastries given by Grandpa Deng are not as delicious."

Lu Qingling smiled and said, "Of course, my grandmother spent a lot of money to find the cook who made the pastry for me. It's hard to find such delicious food outside."

"Wow, Brother Ling, you are so lucky! You have such a good grandmother, but Lili is also happy, and my mother also cooks for me."

"Yes, grandma and the others are very good, but unfortunately I can't spend more time with them."

"Why can't you accompany them?"

"You are still young and don't understand, maybe I will tell you why later."

"Okay! Brother Ling, you eat too."

Ah Li took a piece of plum cake and stuffed it into Lu Qingling's mouth.

At noon, Ah Li stayed at Lu's house for lunch.

Lu Qingling specifically ordered the kitchen to cook more delicious dishes.

Ah Li likes to eat, so he wants to give her all the delicious food.

Two days later, it was the day when Lin Dabao fulfilled his promise.

He and three classmates went to Lin's house with money.

Although they were very reluctant in their hearts, they were scholars or children, and they didn't want to lose their credibility because of this incident.

Lin Dabao thought in his heart that Lin Sanrong didn't even care about the face of scholars for the sake of money.

"Uncle, the money is here, you give us the bet."
