Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 136 Test
When Lin Lang returned home, he found his mother preparing something, even digging out their family's account books.

"Yuliang, you have a brother in Shuanghe Town who still owes our family a gift. We absolutely have to invite him over this time..."

"Mmm, please, please..."

The so-called ledger is simply a record of how much money was spent at each of the places visited.

After all, in the past twenty years, Lin Lang's family only held a college entrance banquet the year he took the college entrance exam. Other families would only hold two or three banquets for their sons' weddings, daughters' weddings, or grandchildren's weddings.

After all, his father was the thirteenth child, and he himself went to university, so he was born to achieve great things in life later than others. He even went to university. Now, the oldest of his cousins' children is already seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Mom, our house isn't even finished yet, is it? It shouldn't be finished until a few days before the New Year. Why are you in such a hurry to hire people?"

Lin Yuliang said, "We don't need to invite such distant relatives to move into the new house. Our family is about to have a new member."

According to the customs of my hometown, when moving to a new house, we only invite some close relatives. We don't invite distant relatives, and they won't be happy to accept it.

Only major events like the birth of a child qualify one to send out invitations widely.

"Huh? I'm going to have a younger brother or sister? I never expected this, Mom and Dad, you've already made arrangements in secret..."

Lin Lang walked up to Ms. Xu with a smile and said, "Mom, should I arrange for a postpartum care center in advance?"

"Go away! I'm finding you an older sister."

"Huh? I'm not your first child?"

"Yes, now we need to find someone new... I've already asked them, and they have no objections."

Lin Lang: "..."

He has a problem with it!

Although he was briefly excited after Bing Ning said those words.

But after calming down, I felt it was a bit inappropriate.

After all... I'll have to meet people eventually.

My parents are already planning to host a dinner party, making it clear that I'll be living at their house from now on, and they might even move my household registration here.

"Mom, who is it?"

Lin Lang could only pretend not to know and ask a question.

"It's Bingning, you know her, right? Her parents didn't want her anymore, you know? She doesn't have any relatives or friends in the county. We hit it off as soon as we met, so I tentatively asked her out, and she said yes... You know what, all the good things in the world happen to me..."

When Ms. Xu talked about this, her joy was palpable.

After all, there would soon be another person in the family, which was something she had always dreamed of.

He didn't raise her at all, but someone else raised her for over twenty years, and he treated her like a daughter-in-law.

Of course, her son will definitely marry a girl like Yan Li in the future, but Bing Ning is also pitiful enough.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Lin Lang had nothing to say.

After waiting for about half an hour, we finally got to eat.

After finishing my meal, I went back to my room to take care of some things.

He currently has 34 million in his securities account. The reason he was able to make so much money from the Tianshui duck industry is all thanks to the game between multiple parties, which allowed him to reap the full profits from his small stake.

If market sentiment is weak and the market is controlled by others, on the one hand, they won't push the price up so sharply, and on the other hand, Lin Lang shouldn't even think about selling tens of millions of shares at the daily limit up, as there won't be any funds to absorb them.

Essentially, the money he earned belonged to He Qiang.

In this matter, He Qiang will inevitably face long-term financial constraints; he is simply trying to gamble on the future.

……

Ms. Xu started talking to her relatives about her goddaughter the very next day.

As for the venue for the banquet, it will definitely be the Mingzhu Hotel, which is the most prestigious hotel in the county. The date has also been chosen to be the 28th, the same day as Yun Yiyi's wedding.

This is enough to show that fortune tellers all study the same book.

Just like tomb raiding, as long as you learn about feng shui, it's easy to find ancient tombs. That feng shui knowledge is equivalent to an instruction manual for ancient tombs.

The only difference is that Yun Yiyi's wedding was held in the Peony Hall, while Lin Lang's family held their banquet in the Lotus Hall.

Before we knew it, it was Friday of the new week.

Tianshui Duck Industry's stock price hit the daily limit for all five trading days this week, with a total trading volume of just over 60 million yuan.

After several days of growth, the market value of Tianshui Duck Industry has successfully exceeded 2.6 billion yuan.

He Qiang came over on Friday night.

"Brother, the stock price of Tianshui Duck Industry has doubled!"

From the initial 1.3 billion to the current 2.6 billion.

Without a doubt, Lin Lang gave him a discount.

If he were allowed to disclose all the shares he was holding on behalf of others, then the increase in stock price would have nothing to do with him.

Things are different now. He still has 3% of the chips and is frantically buying at the premium.

In this way, his losses will be minimized and he can recover a large sum of cash.

"Let's start Mr. He going out next week... It would be best if he could go out on Monday or Tuesday..."

"Okay, I understand! I'll treat you to dinner tonight, little brother?"

“I have some things to take care of… I have to attend a wedding tomorrow, how about the day after tomorrow? I’ll invite Mr. He the day after tomorrow.”

Lin Lang had to go home because Bing Ning had gone there.

Bingning had originally gone at noon, but Lin Lang couldn't get away, so she told him to go home for dinner in the evening.

"Okay, okay, I'll attend Teacher Yun's wedding tomorrow too, then we can talk again."

"Yeah, no problem."

Lin Lang agreed.

In reality, I don't have any free time at all.

He had to rush from one event to another.

First, Yun Yiyi got married, and then she went back to her hometown to spend time with relatives and friends.

When Lin Lang got home, he saw Bing Ning sitting on the sofa, while his parents were busy in the kitchen.

Seeing Bing Ning happily crossing her legs, eating fruit and watching TV, Lin Lang didn't know what to say.

When Bingning saw him return, she quickly called out, "Little brother, come and keep me company for a while."

Lin Lang walked over and said, "You're calling out so naturally?"

Bingning called out to the kitchen with a smile, "Mom, my brother is talking about me!"

Before Ms. Xu could even peek out from the kitchen, Lin Lang quickly said, "Your ability to tattle has improved! I never knew you had this talent before."

As he spoke, he sat down next to Bing Ning.

Ms. Xu then said, "You can talk for a while, and we can eat in twenty minutes."

Because Lin Lang and Bing Ning were quite familiar with each other, and Lin Lang showed no resistance after the elderly couple brought up the matter, the situation was generally a happy one for everyone.

Bingning moved closer to Lin Lang and whispered, "Mom said you'll sleep on the sofa tonight, and I'll leave the door open for you in the middle of the night..."

"Sleep on the sofa my ass, I'm going to sleep in a hotel tonight. I'm going to be a groomsman tomorrow."

I need to leave for Yunyi's home at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning and pick her up from the hotel before 6 a.m., so it's impossible for her to stay at home.

"Huh? You're not sleeping at home?"

When Bingning heard Ms. Xu say she was going to have her sleep there, she asked Lin Lang what to do. Ms. Xu then said that Lin Lang could just sleep on the sofa.

But it wasn't there!
She glanced at the kitchen and noticed that Lin Lang's parents weren't looking into the living room; they climbed directly onto Lin Lang.

Lin Lang was completely stunned.

"what are you doing?"

Bingning whispered in his ear, "Don't make a sound. Since you're not staying home tonight, I'll collect some interest in advance."

Lin Lang wanted to push Bing Ning away, but Bing Ning had already put her hand inside her skirt.

At this moment, Bing Ning's long dress was spread directly on Lin Lang's lap, and she herself sat on Lin Lang's lap.

Soon, Bingning had finished setting up the scene inside the dress.

Lin Lang felt his heart rate jump to two hundred beats per minute.

His body instinctively resisted, but it couldn't stop the moment of actual contact.

He had never been so nervous in either of his lives.

The sounds of cooking in the kitchen were clearly audible, and even mixed with some indistinct voices from my parents.

Inside the living room, everything appeared normal on the surface, but beneath Bing Ning's wide skirt, no one knew what was going on...

Suddenly, Bingning kissed his earlobe...

Then they quickly separated, and she looked at Lin Lang with a smile.

"This is going to get out of control!"

Lin Lang said something in a low but serious voice.

"Oh... then let's not end this..."

Bing Ning wore a triumphant smile.

Actually, she was just using a smile to hide her true feelings, otherwise she felt she wouldn't be able to hold back.

Lin Lang kept his eyes glued to the kitchen the whole time, and even as the urge to steal from him gradually took over his mind, he dared not relax for a moment.

He had a feeling that he was about to be killed by Bing Ning, but his resistance was getting weaker and weaker.

For the first time, he realized what the mindset of someone who can't withstand tests is.

He really couldn't take it.

A few minutes later, Lin Yuliang suddenly came out of the kitchen.

At that moment, Lin Lang felt an intense sense of suffocation, as if the surrounding air had frozen.

Lin Yuliang brought the dishes to the dining table and, seeing the two people on the sofa, asked, "What are you doing?"

Bingning grabbed Lin Lang by the neck and said, "Spit it out... Ahhh... Dad, my brother just stole the fruit I just peeled!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuliang didn't know how to respond.

First of all, he is definitely on his son's side.

But Bingning had just arrived at the house, and this matter...

Answering is one thing, not answering is another...

So all I could say was, "Langlang, don't do anything reckless, hurry up and carve one for your sister..."

After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, Ms. Xu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Langlang and Ningning are playing around over there."

"Huh? Let me see..."

Upon seeing his father enter the kitchen, Lin Lang's tense heart suddenly relaxed.

Damn it, those mere twenty seconds felt like an eternity to him.

I've never been so nervous in my life.

But just as I relaxed a little, I saw Ms. Xu peek out.

Lin Lang felt a chill run down his spine!
In those few short minutes, he felt he had grasped many words he had never understood before.

Bingning grabbed his neck and kept yelling, "Spit it out! Spit it out! Ahhh... I'll fight you to the death!"

"I won't give it to you! I won't give it to you!"

Lin Lang wasn't sure if his acting was clumsy, but... he was really scared.

He was scared to death.

He had no idea what would happen once his parents found out.

After his rebirth, he had a clear plan for everything, and so far, every step he took was much better than he had planned.

But even if he had ten lifetimes, he couldn't plan out this situation right now.

He had no prior plan for this matter, and things just got to this point.

He felt a multitude of sensations throughout his body that defied description; he felt as if his entire body was about to explode.

Ms. Xu looked for about ten seconds and then went into the kitchen.

He smiled and said to Lin Yuliang, "Langlang did it on purpose. After all, he has never had many playmates growing up. Sigh... I should have just gritted my teeth and paid the fine back then."

The more this happened, the more upset Ms. Xu became.

Because she had an abortion.

Otherwise, Lin Lang would have a younger brother or sister.

Lin Lang has always been very sensible since he was a child. Apart from having some playmates in elementary school, he had very few friends after entering junior high school.

On the one hand, he had come to the county town and was getting further and further away from his childhood playmates. On the other hand, his studies were becoming more demanding and the competition among students in the county town was also fierce.

They knew better than anyone how hard Lin Lang worked to stay in the elite class.

Lin Yuliang said, "What's the use of saying all this now? Besides, who knew Langlang could be a boss now? If he were working outside, the money we've saved wouldn't even be enough for his down payment. And if he gets another child, we'd work ourselves to death and still not be able to afford it."

Lin Yuliang is still able to consider reality.

Neither of them earns much, and supporting Lin Lang has exhausted all their strength. Lin Lang has already graduated from university, but the family has not bought a new house, and their savings are only around 100,000 yuan.

In today's world, 100,000 yuan can't do anything significant.

Even in the county, the bride price usually starts at 120,000 yuan, plus a meeting gift, three gold pieces, a matchmaker's fee, and holiday gifts for the bride's family. It's impossible to get married without spending 170,000 to 180,000 yuan.

This doesn't even include the house, car, and wedding banquet expenses; it's almost enough to cover the cost of the monetary gifts.

The elderly couple felt like the sky was falling the moment Lin Lang suddenly returned home.

After all, my family can't give me much.

I just never expected Lin Lang to go this far...

Ms. Xu put aside her feelings and said, "That's true. If we had two children, Langlang would definitely be affected, and he might not get as many points on the test."

"Of course, we both have to work, how can we guarantee the child's life? It's fine as it is now, but... Yan Li is also a workaholic, I'm afraid that the two of us getting married and having children is not even in our plans."

“That won’t do! Even if we don’t get married this year, we have to get married next year! No matter how good Yan Li is to us, we can’t delay this matter… We only have one son, we’d rather he find a less desirable wife than let someone else hold us back…”

……

In the living room, Bing Ning glanced at the kitchen, then suddenly leaned down and kissed Lin Lang.

Then, her tongue slowly traced across Lin Lang's cheek, and she whispered in his ear, "I'm in my safe period today..."
