Woke up in the morning and saw a black ticket, unexpectedly felt a little thrilled, it seems that readers are also paying attention...

Lin Luorans head is big, and Li Anpings mother has indeed turned things around, not knowing how many words she has fabricated to hurt herself, making her own mother anxious!
"Mom, the daughter you raised would not go astray. You dont believe your own daughter but want to believe what others say! The money I earned is my own, and its absolutely legitimate. Lets talk about this in detail over dinner later, okay?"
Lins mother was worried, Lin Luo Ran didnt get angry, and instead took the initiative to explain and reassure her.
Lins mother was about to say something, but Lins father had just finished moving the last pack of beef and said impatiently: "Youve been driving for half a day and youre not tired? Eat first and talk later!"
At critical moments, Lin Dad was still the head of the family. Lin Mom didnt say anything, and the three went to the kitchen together to cook. Lin Mom chopped vegetables, Lin Dad stir-fried, and Lin Luo Ran lit the fire, with a clear division of labor as always.
Lins father is different from other rural men, he never thinks that household chores should be done by his wife, and when cooking, he is even more skilled than Lins mother.
Lins mother looked at the dishes Lin Luo brought back and nagged: "What dish dont we have at home, you still go waste this money."
"These are all space dishes. Lin Luo Ran couldnt say anything clearly at this time, so he just made a joke: Mom, these are new varieties, and they cant be bought outside yet!"
Lins father took a bite of the celery, feeling the crunch and slight numbness, his mouth watering as he nodded: "The daughter brought this dish, its indeed better than what we grow at home. Its all her filial piety, you have nothing to say about what she does."
Lin Luo Ran saw her dad winking at her, just like when she was a kid. The father-daughter duo easily formed an alliance to "gang up" on Lins mom together. In the eyes of outsiders, Lins dad seemed honest and inarticulate, but only in front of his daughter did he show his lively side as a father.
Looking at the wrinkles on his fathers eyes and his gray hair, Lin Luo suddenly became red-eyed. His father, who was only in his fifties, had been tortured by life to such an extent. He couldnt let them suffer anymore.
Lin Luo Ran lowered his head to cook, wiping away the rolling tears in his eyes, secretly making up his mind that from now on, he would not let his parents work day and night, suffering hardships again!
Mr. Lin poured oil into the pot, took over the celery cut by Mrs. Lin, and was about to make a "celery stir-fry with beef". The noise in the yard made the three members of the Lin family involuntarily stop their movements.
The Lin family was a small household with a thatched fence around their courtyard, and any movement could be seen clearly.
Just as a family of three was cooking, so many people came into the courtyard.
Li Ba Jie brought her two children and several other village kids, a total of seven or eight, who were curiously surrounding Lin Luo Rans returning car.
There were also countless villagers standing outside the fence, looking around furtively, it was unclear what they were thinking or if they were preparing to watch a show.
The old woman standing in the yard was short and unassuming, none other than Li Anpings own mother!
Looking at Li Anping, her mother and two daughters, a son-in-law, and several brothers from the same clan blocking the courtyard of their home, Lin Luoran sneered, is this bullying because her family is an outsider in Li Village?
"Hey, whats going on here? Lets talk about it inside." Lins mother looked at the many people in the courtyard and feared that the Li family would make a big deal out of this, wanting to calm things down.
"Who is your family? Our Li family doesnt have such a shameless daughter-in-law! Having money but not supporting the family, I dont know which little white face shes attached to. And another thing, where did this cheap girl get her money from? Ask your daughter if she relied on her boss and abandoned my Anping, even taking back the engagement ring!"
Li Lao Tais words were spoken in a mysterious and ambiguous tone, causing the surrounding villagers to erupt into a chorus of hisses.
Mrs. Li was triumphant, "You people with the surname Lin, who fled to Lijiazhuang during the famine years ago, who knows what kind of virtue your family has? Teaching out such a shameful daughter, indeed its true that a mother raises a daughter like herself!"
Lins mother was so stunned that she didnt know what to say and looked at her daughter in disbelief.
Lin Luoran was taken aback for a moment, looking at the old man in front of her. He had given birth to several children, but only Li Anping had made it through education, while the others were all daughters who had sacrificed their own futures for Li Anpings sake.
She was also gentle, and said in front of Lin Luo Ran: "Anping read books, isnt it the same as you reading? Dont worry, daughter, if he treats you badly in the future, I will definitely break his legs."
Now, Lin Luoran suddenly remembered that when she and Li Anping had just broken up, she called out "Auntie" on the phone, but Li Anpings mother snapped in a shrill voice: "Who is your aunt? Dont you dare try to establish a relationship with us! You stinky little girl, dont think about clinging to my son. My son is a graduate student, what qualifications do you have?"
Lin Luoran had forgotten what emotions she was feeling when she hung up the phone at that time, all she knew now was that she was truly, extremely... well, the emotion was anger.
Very angry, angry at his own inexperience when he was young, angry that he would be soft-hearted, angry that he was taken advantage of by people using "reason" to bully his honest parents, angry at the different faces of Li Lao Tai in front of him, angry at Li Anpings change of heart... but what Lin Luo Ran is truly angry about is himself, not knowing how to distinguish between good and evil, allowing his parents to suffer todays humiliation!
Lin Luo Ran pulled open the protective Lin Dad and Lin Mom in front of her, indicating that they let her handle it herself. She looked at the spitting Li Old Lady: "What do you want?"
Mrs. Li and her family looked at Lin Luo Ran with a harmonious expression, feeling that the Lin family was indeed easy to bully. Before Mrs. Li could speak, Li Anpings older sister stepped forward: "What do you want? Return that bangle of yours, weve already settled on the engagement, if you want to back out, that bangle is our familys property!"
Li Anpings older sister had been eyeing that silver bangle for a long time, but she didnt dare to snatch it from her brothers hands, or else she would definitely be beaten to death by her mother. This time, when Li Anping said the silver bangle was worth at least 30,000 yuan, his older sisters eyes turned red with excitement!
Li Anpings sister said with a smile, looking at Lin Luoran with satisfaction, but unexpectedly her mother pulled her back, almost tripping her over.
"Betrothal is a serious matter, and youve been engaged for so many years. You say break off the engagement, then break it off? Do you think my old Li family is nothing? Do you think the whole of Li Village is nothing? I heard youre rich now, pay compensation, you must compensate us for our losses!"
This was Mrs. Lis idea, since her son called in the morning to say that Lin Luo had made a fortune, Mrs. Li felt that she couldnt let it go so easily and must get some money out of it.
Shes good at abacus, but the Lin family has no foundation in Lijia Village, and no one will stand up for them. After all, a girl surnamed Lin is just a thin-skinned girl, cant she be controlled?
The villagers outside the fence watched with relish, only Li Ershus face was worried. Several nephews and sons-in-law of Lao Lishis family were staring greedily, Lin Luorans eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, furious to the point of laughter:
"Who said I wanted to break off the engagement?"
