Chapter 832 - 832 New Year
832 New Year
Lin yuelan did not know that the Emperor was going to bestow a marriage to Jiang Zhennan.
Right now, she only wanted to spend some time with the two elders.
The three of them sat in the main hall. Doctor Zhang looked at Lin yuelan and stroked his grizzled beard. He said happily, ” Oh, little girl, I haven’t seen you for more than two months. You’ve grown taller and more beautiful. It’s just that you’re a little skinny. Little girl, have you forgotten to eat? ” The last sentence was said with heartache.
Lin yuelan was only 12 or 13 years old. Although she was talented and capable, she was still a child.
!!
She was just a child, but she was busy all day. Farming, treating medicine, doing business, she could do what ordinary people could do, and she could also do what ordinary people couldn’t. She was simply too busy.
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” Grandmaster, how can that be? Don’t you know my personality? Eating well, drinking well, playing well, and sleeping well is my motto.”
As she spoke, she glanced at her slender figure and said, ” I guess I’ve been growing taller for the past six months.”
Ever since she had taken over this body, she had been nourished in all aspects, so her height had shot up. In just half a year, she had become even taller.
At the age of 12 or 13, she had already grown to 1.62 meters tall, which was more than 10 centimeters taller than her peers.
Since she was taller, she looked slimmer.
Lin Deshan said disapprovingly, ” but it’s not enough to just grow. You have to put on some weight. I say, girl, you should nourish yourself well at home these days! I’ll get the kitchen staff to make you some chicken soup!”
Lin yuelan smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll definitely finish the chicken soup!”
..
The news of Lin yuelan’s return quickly spread throughout the Lin family Village.
Although Lin yuelan had not been in the Lin family Village for the past two months, the villagers had been talking about her everywhere.
Why?
It was only because her family’s greenhouse vegetables had earned so much money that it made people jealous. On the other hand, the Yan family had used up all their a.s.sets to build the vegetable greenhouse. In the end, not only did they lose everything, but they also went bankrupt. Other than the house they were living in now, they sold all their land, but they still couldn’t pay back the underground loansharks.
Recently, the loansharks had been eyeing his house. They saw that his house could be sold for a lot of money, so they forced the Yan family to sell the house to pay off their debts.
Yan Lin gritted his teeth and refused to sell it no matter how these people beat him up.
If he sold this house, he wouldn’t even have a place to stay. In the future, he might have to wander around or be homeless.
Now, the servants of the Yan family had left. Only Yan Lin and his precious youngest son, Yan Xiaoyong, were left in the big house.
As for his eldest son, second son, and third daughter, after hearing that their father had gone bankrupt, they went into hiding in the county and were unwilling to come back to see him. Even when Yan Lin went to find them, they closed their doors and pretended not to be at home. They were not willing to come out to see him, which made Yan Lin’s face turn green with anger.
He wanted to go to court to sue them for being unfilial, but if he wanted to sue them, first, he would need money. Second, if he really sued them for being unfilial, then the Yan family’s face would be gone. In the future, they would be filled with resentment, and they would not come to see him off even if they died.
Hence, Yan Lin did not report them to the authorities.
However, he was indeed filled with hatred. Firstly, he hated Lin Sanniu for giving him false information and causing him to pay such a price. Secondly, he hated Lin yuelan the most.
If Lin yuelan hadn’t hidden the method of growing greenhouse vegetables, would he have gone bankrupt?
Before Lin yuelan returned, everyone in the village could see Yan Lin standing not far away from the Lin family mansion. He was glaring at the house with hatred in his eyes.
Although everyone sympathized with Yan Lin, the current Yan family was no longer the Yan family of the past. They needed to curry favor with them. Now, anyone could step on the Yan family.
Therefore, the villagers loved to compare Lin yuelan’s family with the Yan family.
However, a few households were worried too. They were the families of those who had partic.i.p.ated in the fight that killed Lin yuelan.
Now, everyone knew that Yan Lin’s fate had everything to do with his family’s little tyrant, Yan Xiaoyong, paying people to beat up Lin yuelan.
However, Lin yuelan hadn’t made any moves against them yet, so they could only hide their worries in their hearts.
…
By the river, a group of women took advantage of the time before the new year and the sun to take out their clothes to wash.
“Hey, Sanniang, I haven’t seen Ying ‘Er in a long time. Where did she go?” Ever since she had let Lin yuelan’s family’s fields run dry and then framed her uncle, Ying ‘Er’s reputation had been almost completely ruined. Therefore, she rarely went out. But she couldn’t just stay in the house for more than two months. Wouldn’t that bore her to death?
When Gu Sanniang heard them asking about her daughter, her expression quickly stiffened, and her eyes were filled with anger and sadness.
More than two months ago, when she and Ying Zi went to town, they were actually targeted by Huang Ji medicine shop’s Huang Youcai.
He had sent people to secretly kidnap the mother and daughter to the Huang Manor and asked them to serve him together.
Fortunately, her daughter Ying Zi was smart and dealt with Huang Youcai many times.
Later, they heard that shopkeeper Huang had joined forces with the shopkeepers of several medical halls to deal with Lin’s medicine hall. Ying Zi was smart and immediately gave them a foolproof idea. After that, Huang Youcai and a few others joined forces with the local ruffian, Lai Xiaowu, and founded the opera troupe. They made a corpse and framed Lin’s medicine hall.
However, who would have thought that just as they were about to succeed, Lin yuelan would suddenly appear with a woman and expose all of their conspiracies? All the members of the Golden Phoenix troupe were arrested.
Shopkeeper Huang then placed the blame on Ying Zi and Lai Xiaowu.
As far as she knew, Huang Youcai sent people to the broken temple to kill Lai Xiaowu. As for the mother and daughter, Huang Youcai once again demanded they serve him at the same time.
The mother and daughter swore never to submit to him. They’d rather die.
However, Ying Zi suddenly agreed to be Huang Youcai’s concubine, but she had two conditions. One was to let her mother go back to the Lin family Village, and the other was that the matter of her becoming his concubine must not be spread.
Huang Youcai had intended to let the mother and daughter go back when they swore to die. After all, it was one thing for him to abduct people, and it was another thing if the people died in his house.
However, he did not expect Lin Ying Zi to suddenly change her mind, which was a pleasant surprise.
After Gu Sanniang returned to the Lin family Village, she claimed that Ying Zi was not feeling well and did not want to go out. In reality, she was very worried.
In the past two months, Gu Sanniang had avoided the Lin family Village and went to the Huang family to look for Ying Zi. Ying Zi told her that she was doing very well.
However, this only made her more worried.
However, she thought that Yingzi agreed to be Huang Youcai’s concubine because she was forced by Lin yuelan.
Therefore, her hatred for Lin yuelan grew even deeper.
