Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 33 The Development of Things

"Brother-in-law, I know the place where he dated He Hong, he should be there"

Li Lin's uncle said to Li Lin.

Li Lin spoke while riding a bicycle
"Where is that place?"

Li Lin's uncle said, "I will show you the way."

After finishing speaking, Li Lin's uncle directed Li Lin to drive the bicycle somewhere.

Li Lin parked his bicycle and looked at the surrounding environment and said

“It’s really remote here”

Li Lin's uncle got off his bicycle and said

"He should be around here, let's look for it separately"

When Li Lin found his second uncle, his second uncle was sitting on a rock in a daze.

Li Lin walked over and said, "Second uncle, if you have anything to do, let's discuss it so we don't run away from home."

When Xiao Zhengbei saw that it was Li Lin who came, he said, "There is nothing to discuss, my father will definitely not agree to me being with He Hong.

That’s why I kept it a secret from my family at first.”

Li Lin said, "Second Uncle, may I ask, how did you fall in love with that He Hong?"

When the second uncle heard this, he immediately recalled the scene when he first met He Hong.

“The first time she and I met was at the place where our two villages cut firewood together.

I still remember when I saw her for the first time, she was carrying the firewood with difficulty alone, perhaps because the sun was too harsh, it made her face red, very cute.

At that time, I felt that she had entered my heart.

After that, I squatted at the original place and went forward to help him chop and carry firewood.

She was very wary of me at first, but after we got to know each other better, the relationship between the two of us became better and better.

Do you think it's strange?She is not pretty either, but why do I fall in love with her?"

Li Lin said, "From what you said, it can be seen that you should love that He Hong very much.

Then you should discuss it with your father-in-law, if you don’t discuss it, you will have no chance.”

When Xiao Zhengbei heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "You saw that scene just now. He didn't want to discuss it with me at all. He gave me a commanding tone."

Li Lin didn't know how to respond when he heard this.

When the scene was silent, Xiao Zhengbei said again, "Brother-in-law, I envy you very much."

Li Lin asked suspiciously, "Why do you envy me?"

Xiao Zhengbei expressed his envy in a very calm tone.

"The status gap between you and my sister in this era is huge.

But you can still break through the prejudice of your parents and marry the person you like, but I don’t have that kind of courage.”

When Li Lin heard the last sentence, he said, "Second uncle, you didn't choose to compromise, did you?"

Li Lin's second uncle looked up at the sky and said, "Do you know what my sister once said?"

Li Lin said, "What are you talking about?"

Li Lin's second uncle said with some melancholy
"My sister said that life is not just poetry and distant places, but more about cruel reality.

At that time she also explained to me what this sentence meant.

I didn't understand it then, but I understand it now.

The choice between the beauty of imagination and the cruelty of reality, and we can only succumb to the cruelty of reality."

Li Lin looked at his second uncle who seemed to have entered the sage mode, and didn't know what to say. Now he should only want to find someone to talk to.

Li Lin said, "I found that my father-in-law seems to have great opinions on the He Hong family. Why is this?
As long as this can be solved, I should be able to let you marry He Hong."

The second uncle heard this and said, "If it was simply because of the poor conditions of He Hong's family, my father would not be like this.

The main reason is because Dad is afraid that their family will rely on our family because I married He Hong."

Li Lin immediately understood when he heard this, it seems that the family's reputation is very bad around here.

Li Lin said, "What is He Hong's attitude towards her family?"

The second uncle felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this, "I also talked to her about the problems in her family, and she said that although her younger brother is ignorant and lazy.

But her relationship with her brother is still very good, so he hopes that after I marry her, I can help her brother."

The words Fudimo immediately appeared in Li Lin's mind.

"But she added another sentence to me later, she would only choose to help her younger brother when her family was rich."

Li Lin said, "So, second uncle, do you agree?"

The second uncle nodded and said, "I did agree at the time, that's why our relationship developed so quickly."

Li Lin said, "So what are your thoughts now?"

The second uncle jumped off the rock and said

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is whether my father agrees with me or not.

If my father does not agree, then no matter how much He Hong and I love each other, it is impossible for the two of us to be together."

Just after Li Lin's second uncle finished speaking, Li Lin's first uncle came over.

"Zhengbei, let's go home first, and discuss this matter after we go home."

Uncle Li Lin did not retort when he heard this, "Okay, then I will discuss this matter with my father."

Li Lin's father-in-law looked at Xiao Zhengbei who came back and said

"Aren't you very ambitious? Why are you back?"

Xiao Zhengbei didn't speak, but just stood there silently.

When Xiao's mother saw this scene, she immediately felt distressed. "If there is any matter, let's sit down and discuss it. Don't act like enemies."

When Father Xiao heard this, he said angrily, "He even said that he would not marry anyone other than He Hong in this life. How do you want me to sit down and discuss with him? Discuss his marriage to that He Hong?"

Xiao's mother didn't know what to say when she heard this.

Xiao Zhengbei said, "Dad, let me ask you a question. How did you agree to my marrying He Hong?"

Father Xiao said directly, "You also know what the situation is like in He Hong's eldest sister's family. I don't want to live the kind of life in his eldest sister's family.

There is only one possibility for you to marry He Hong, and that is to let He Hong sever ties with their family.

If you can't do it, don't even think about marrying He Hong in your life."

Father Xiao is not too snobbish, he just hopes that his children can live a happy life.

Otherwise, he would not have refused the people in the village to propose marriage to his daughter.

Because he knew that his daughter would definitely be wronged once she married someone from the village.

At that time, he had already planned for his daughter what she would be like when she married in the future.

Either the one who loves her very much, or the one with good conditions.

Those who love her especially will not be wronged at least in her natal family, and if her conditions are good, at least her life will not be miserable.

He originally preferred the former, because in this era, those with good conditions would definitely look down on the girls in the village.

But I didn't expect that Li Lin would come out halfway.

And he saw that Li Lin is also a person who knows how to hurt others, so he gave his daughter to her with confidence.

Xiao Zhengbei heard his father's condition and said, "Father, I don't believe it, you don't know how much criticism she will attract if He Hong acts like this."

Xiao said, "They haven't married yet, and you're thinking about them.

I’m just telling you that if He Hong doesn’t sever ties with her family, then I will definitely not let you marry He Hong.”

Xiao Zhengbei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll talk to her tomorrow"

Father Xiao obviously didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, because he knew that as long as his second son said this, the possibility of him and He Hong would become extremely slim.

And this is indeed the result he wants.

He was going to wait until his second son was exhausted, and immediately go to a family he was optimistic about to propose a marriage. He must completely cut off his second son's thoughts about He Hong.

Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan returned home.

Mother Li looked at Xiao Ruoyan with an uneasy expression and said, "Ruoyan, what's wrong? Did Li Lin bully you on the road?"

Mother Li didn't like Xiao Ruoyan at first, because she felt that Xiao Ruoyan's appearance didn't suit her heart.

So she initially approached Xiao Ruoyan with the intention of establishing her authority in this family.

But when he was about to erect, he was destroyed by his son.

And Xiao Ruoyan's diligent quality and sweet mouth made Li's mother feel very satisfied, so she didn't make things difficult for Xiao Ruoyan anymore.

Among her three daughters-in-law, only Xiao Ruoyan talked with her the most, so seeing Xiao Ruoyan's expression on her face, she had such doubts.

Li Lin felt very wronged, how he usually treated Xiao Ruoyan.

He didn't believe that Mother Li didn't know. How could she ask such a question?

Xiao Ruoyan shared the affairs of her family with Li's mother.

When Mother Li heard this, she immediately understood.

"It turns out that you are unhappy because of your second brother, as long as Li Lin didn't bully you."

Xiao Ruoyan said, "Li Lin can't even dote on me. How could he bully me?"

Mother Li said, "As for your second brother, it's hard for me, an outsider, to comment.

But I know that your father did this for the good of your second brother."

夜晚
"Sign in"

"Sixty pounds of stick noodles, thirty pounds of flour, and twenty pounds of lard."

That's gone. This is what Li Lin thinks in his heart. Didn't he always have to sign in seven kinds of things in the past?

But Li Lin didn't care too much, after all, his family can live without relying on the things he signed.

If the five employees can't survive in this era, then I don't know which one can survive.

Second day

Li Lin continued to read the book Yue Lao gave him at home.

And Xiao Ruoyan was also looking at the books bought from the library.

After a long time, Li Lin rubbed his eyes and stretched his body.

Xiao Ruoyan looked at Li Lin who was obviously tired and said, "If you are tired from watching, just sleep for a while."

Li Lin stood up and said, "I'm going to go outside for a walk."

When Li Lin opened the door, he could see the Second Uncle hesitated at his door, not knowing what to do.

"Second uncle, what are you doing in front of my house?"

When Liu Haizhong saw Li Lin, he stepped forward and said, "I have thought about it for a long time, and I decided to learn from you.

After all, you have a very good relationship with my two sons.

I want to know how I should treat the two of them so that they will not be like his big brother."

Liu Haizhong has been having a headache recently because of his two sons.

Generally speaking, these two children think that they have some bad purpose in being nice to them.

Li Lin said, "Just let nature take its course. As time goes by, it will prove that you are sincerely good to them.

They may suddenly be unable to accept your change.

After all, how you treated them before, you should know in your heart."

Liu Haizhong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "I've already corrected myself, haven't I?"

Li Lin said, "This has nothing to do with me. What matters is whether your children think you have corrected yourself."

Liu Haizhong later chatted with Li Lin about Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

After chatting with Liu Haizhong, Li Lin walked out of the yard, just in time to see the third uncle who was watering the flowers at the gate of the yard.

The third uncle looked at Li Lin and said, "Are you going out to buy supplies?"

Li Lin heard the third uncle's words and replied, "I'm not that capable of shopping for supplies. I just want to go out for a walk to relax when I'm tired from reading.

Third uncle, why don’t you go fishing today? "

The third master said, "It's impossible for me to fish every day, and my hobby is not only fishing."

After Li Lin chatted with the third master for a while, he went outside for a stroll.

When Li Lin came back, he took out a bottle of malted milk from the system space.

But he didn't let anyone in the yard discover that he had gotten back a bottle of malted milk.

He handed the malted milk to Xiao Ruoyan and said, "Whenever you feel greedy in the future, just make a drink."

Xiao Ruoyan happily took the malted milk and said, "I see."

"You want me to cut off ties with my family."

He Hong watched in disbelief as the man who once said that he wanted to help his family would say such a thing.

Xiao Zhengbei said, "If you don't sever ties with the family, then it is impossible for me and you to be together."

He Hong said, "Is this what you mean, or what your family means?"

Xiao Zhengbei struggled for a long time and said, "It is not only what I mean, but also what is meant by my family."

He Hong said

"If you don't agree to it, then the matter between us will be blown away."

Xiao Zhengbei said with difficulty, "Yes."

He Hong said, "It's impossible for me to agree to your conditions."

After finishing speaking, He Hong left without looking back.

Xiao Zhengbei wanted to chase him, but found that he seemed not qualified to chase him.

So he banged the trees hard to discover his inner dissatisfaction.

Perhaps this will be the last meeting between him and He Hong, because he accidentally heard that his parents had already chosen a marriage partner for him, so he waited for his news before he could come to propose marriage.
