Volume 1 Chapter 127: Success and Withdrawal (6)

  Chapter 127: With Great Success Comes Retreat (6)

  After waiting for about half an hour, Lin Gongzi arrived in high spirits.

  They chose a nearby room, and Xiao Ma spread out the written documents. Cen Er took out Zhuo Shuiyun's seal and stamped it on, then pressed his own handprint, and Lin Gongzi also stamped and printed. Xiao Ma, as witness, stamped the official seal issued by the government. One hand handed over the money, and the other handed over the contract.

  Then there was nothing more about Lin Gongzi. As long as Cen Er held the documents and land deed, he could go to the government office to process a new contract and replace it with Qiu Shuiyun's name.

  "Mr. Lin, as stated in the document, please move out within seven days." The land and house were all surnamed Qiu, and Cen Er began to act as if he was in charge.

  Mozi retreated behind Xun Er and Lin Gongzi, advancing alongside Zan.

  I thought Mo Ge was the one in charge, but who would have thought that Xun Er Gai's token would make Xiao Ma feel strange. Looking at Mo Zi's calm and composed demeanor as he walked behind, it's really hard to say whether I misjudged him or not.

  "That's for sure. After my parents passed away, the situation at home was really bad. Don't look at me having only received this 1,800 taels of silver, more than half of it is to be used to repay debts. My wife and I plan to move to our ancestral home in the countryside to live a simple life from now on, no longer bothering with worldly affairs. Green hills and clear water, coarse tea and plain rice, is also a kind of pleasure." Lin Gongzi spoke as if he were Tao Yuanming himself.

  Mo Zi couldn't help but laugh, feeling suffocated in the King's palace. He ran out and didn't want to be stifled anymore, so he smiled and said, "I heard that Lin Gongzi married a beautiful young woman, and often hosts grand banquets for friends, not returning until drunk. But I wonder, can Madame Lin endure this extraordinary life amidst the green mountains and clear waters?"

  Still having coarse tea and plain rice? Maybe you want to eat meat in big mouthfuls and drink wine in big gulps, but don't have the money for it?

  Lin Gongzi chuckled twice, seemingly to cover up his embarrassment, "My wife was originally from a poor and humble background, now that she's back in the countryside, she should be able to adapt."

  "Isn't Lord Lin's daughter still single? Is she willing to return to her hometown?" Mozi's mouth curled up, and he sneered coldly. Earlier, Lord Lin's words seemed to have no intention of mentioning his daughter, only thinking about spending time with his wife.

  "Oh, right, and there's also my sister. If she doesn't get married, she'll naturally come back with us." The words seemed hesitant and ambiguous.

  Even Little Horse heard it and asked, "But Miss Lin has promised someone? I've never heard of it before." Because he had to help Young Master Lin sell the house, he was quite familiar with the Lin family.

  "Never before..." Lin Gongzi's lie was somewhat unconvincing. "It's just a possibility. Undecided, undecided."

  "If Miss Wakabayashi is married to a good family, Mr. Hayashi doesn't need to rush back home. Although the house has been sold, it's no trouble for him to stay with his uncle's family for a few days, and it will save him from never seeing his sister again. Since your parents passed away early, I'm sure you two siblings have a very good relationship, after all, you are each other's only relatives."

  Lin Gongzi was stunned for a while and muttered, "Mo Ge is right, he's right."

  She hummed in agreement, of course she was right.

  Passing through the front hall of the main house and entering the front garden, a loud crash suddenly rang out from the echo wall not far away.

  Then, a woman's sharp and angry voice, "Let go, let me go. Ah, it hurts so much. Lin Lang, Lin Lang, come quickly to save me."

  Lin Gongzi was shocked and lost his composure, quickening his pace as he walked forward.

  The little horse raised an eyebrow at Mozi and winked, "See what I mean? Trouble's already here."

  Mozi wanted to ask what was wrong, but before Lin Gongzi could turn around, two people came out from behind the echo wall.

  There were two women, one pulling the other. The one walking in front was wearing a light blue plain skirt with white peony spring branches and a dark hair bun on her right shoulder, looking very elegant and refined, but with an angry face. The one behind, compared to the plain color of the first, was dressed in a colorful and elaborate outfit, with bright red lipstick and rose-tinted cheeks, batting her big eyes. At first, she had a vicious expression, then suddenly became enraged, smoke coming out of all seven orifices, but when she saw Lin Gongzi, she made a 180-degree turn, and plop, two tears fell down.

  Mozi was speechless, thinking to himself, "This must be a ghost."

  "Lin Lang——" A soft and drawn-out cry, with a sobbing tone.

  The purple ink feels like there are small bumps on the outside of my ears, and I'm about to go crazy. I shake my head hard, trying not to be pierced by the devil's music. When I look again, Xiao Ma is staring intently, and Cen Er's eyes are bulging out. Zan Jin is still okay, digging at his ears, shaking his head left and right, no reaction.

  Mei Zi patted the bear's back and said "not bad, not bad".

  She praised something inexplicably, thinking she said some scenic spots were interesting and good-looking, and hurriedly asked which ones.

  The children in the mountains are curious about everything, but they are not curious about female fairies. If there were no others present, Mozi thought she would burst out laughing and get a treasure too.

  "Lin Lang, look at your good sister, she's going to pull my hand off, hurry up and let her go!" Huazhi Zhuoyang raised her wrist high, the gentle girl's hand was really using a lot of force, as if she wanted to pinch into her flesh.

  "Zhen Niang, let go of your sister-in-law, you've pinched her wrist red." Lin Gongzi almost rushed over.

  Even before seeing Lin Gongzi's expression or hearing him speak, Mo Zi knew from his body language that he would definitely help his wife but not his sister. However, when she saw him forcefully pry open his sister's hand, disregarding their familial bond, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. This couple was truly well-matched.

  "Lin Gongzi, please spare your mother's son, his wrist is only red, but your sister's fingers are about to be broken by you." She detested men who took advantage of their physical strength to bully women, and this was the man's own younger sister, as if they had a deep grudge.

  Lin Gongzi heard Mo Zi say this and somewhat restrained himself.

  Her husband's wife was angry, with a flirtatious glance, she saw that the speaker was an unremarkable man and shouted in a shrill voice, "Where did this short and ugly man come from? Don't interfere with other people's family affairs. My tofu-like skin is tender and red from pinching, my husband helped me out, what do you care about your sister-in-law's nonsense? I'm her sister-in-law, after all, I'm older than her in generation. I haven't pinched her yet, it's strange that she's not at peace, instead, she pinched me back. What's the reason for this? If it gets out, it's because she's too young and reckless. I look at you with a thieving appearance, your eyes are rolling around, don't know each other but dare to take sides? I'd rather think that you've taken a liking to this flower and want to be a hero to save the beauty, asking her to surrender herself. I've seen it all before, men are not good things. However, you should also take a closer look at yourself in the mirror, thinking that three inches of nail can pass for gold, but you don't even have a door."

  A string of vicious curses

  The fairy-faced snake had a scorpion's tail. The little horse blinked its eyes, and the protruding-eyed Cen Er dimmed his eyes, realizing that beautiful appearance doesn't necessarily have a beautiful heart.

  He didn't mind his wife's coarseness at all, and instead looked at her with a pained expression. After finally getting his sister to let go, he gently rubbed her wrist and asked if it hurt.

  "I've heard that Young Madam's singing is beautiful, but I didn't expect her to scold people like a heavenly music. It seems that every girl who comes out of the Worry-Free Pavilion is talented in both literature and martial arts. In the future, when the soldiers of the Great Zhou go to battle, we should send you to the front lines. With your hands on your hips, you can scold the enemy for dozens of rounds, and maybe they'll fall down automatically. You say it's your family's business, but don't come to our doorstep to quarrel. You say your wrist is red, but I see that your little sister's face is really swollen. One slap will make your hand hurt too, hurry up and let your husband massage it again. I'm a hero who saves beauty, even if it's not Young Madam, there's no need to be sad. As the saying goes, a married woman, no matter how beautiful, is like a withered flower. Can't blame me for being biased. Young Madam has seen too many bad men in the Worry-Free Pavilion, but don't vent your anger on us men who haven't been there to flatter you. We just missed the good times, otherwise we would have offered gold and asked for a smile from the beauty. Unfortunately, the beauty is already married, past events are unbearable to recall, why mention it again?" Mozi finished speaking in one breath.

  The little horse dropped half its lower jaw towards the ink-purple color.

  Cen Er only felt a stream of words, not a single dirty word, but he blocked all the coarse and rude words that Lin Gongzi threw over, while Mo Zi's expression was clear and refreshing, with a smiling brow and sparkling eyes.

  Everyone shouted in unison, "Good!" and applauded with a round of applause.

  Zhen Niang's expression changed from surprise to gratitude, and she nodded slightly in appreciation of Mo Zi's timely assistance.

  Lin Gongzi didn't make a sound, because Mo Zi said that sentence don't come to their doorstep to quarrel, indeed Lin's house has already become theirs. There is also a saying "since ancient times, a married woman no matter how beautiful is still a withered flower", thinking for half a day doesn't know which ancient it refers to, never heard of it before, but seems to make sense. The gentle woman he met in the Worry-Free Pavilion and brought back home became a different person, he still loves her, actually a big part of it is fear. In his early years, he handed over all the account books at home to her, now taking money from her hand to spend, so where does he dare say no? To outsiders, he just puffs out his chest and pretends to be a good husband, following his wife's lead.

  The old woman was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Seeing Mr. Xiang not speaking up for her, she hummed and asked pointedly, "You wicked short creature, you say this is your family's gate, what does it mean?"

  Mozi ignored her.

  Cen Er was furious, "We just bought the Lin Mansion, the deed is in our hands, Xiao Ma witnessed it, and the silver goods have been exchanged. Give you seven days to move out, Young Master Lin has already agreed."

  She heard that, and didn't care about personal grudges anymore. She was overjoyed, grabbed Lin Gongzi and asked, "Is it really sold? How much silver did you get? I said our family has a lucky star, taking him out will bring good fortune." Her eyes swept past, coldly snorting at Zhen Niang.

  "He sold one thousand eight hundred taels, and this is the silver note." Lin's wife was strict with him, not a single cent of silver was kept private.

  "Only eighteen hundred?" She was unwilling at first, but thinking that others had offered even lower prices, the woman could only give in. With a snort, she said, "It's all because of this place's bad feng shui, otherwise..."

  "Older brother, how could you really sell this place? Then, where will we go to settle down in the future?" Zhen Niang had blocked countless buyers, but she also knew it wasn't a long-term plan. She just didn't expect it to be sold so quickly. Now that things have come to an end, she's somewhat resigned to her fate.

  Lin Gongzi didn't answer Zhen Niang, but instead glanced at his own wife.

  The old woman saw it, whispered a sentence in a low voice, and shook her head.

  Cen Er thought it was none of their business and said to Mo Zi, "Let's go."

  Mozzie passed by with a clever tongue, but knew he couldn't really help Zhen Niang, so he took his leave and walked out of the Lin mansion.

  "This Zhen Niang is also pitiful, having such a brother and sister-in-law." Xian Er sighed.

  Deep purple is also helpless.

  But anyway, Wang Qiulou has decided where to open it.

  Today's second update, plus 360 powder extra update.

  I hope to continue paying off debts tomorrow.

  Goodnight, dear friends, sweet dreams.
