Chapter 21 Getting Married by Borrowing a House
Lin Yue'e and the old lady exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
The old woman's house was nearby; it was only a dozen meters or so before I entered her home.
There were six or seven children in the yard. As soon as they saw them go in, they all surrounded the old woman and called her Grandma.
Wow, you have quite a few kids.
"Isn't that right? There are so many grandsons, and so many mouths to feed. We don't have enough food at home. Come inside with me."
The old lady was about to beckon Lin Yue'e to go inside.
Lin Yue'e parked the car and took the half-full bag of grain from the basket before following them.
The old lady went inside and closed the door before letting Lin Yue'e open the bag and look at the contents.
"Wow, your wheat is amazing! How many pounds does this weigh?"
The old lady grabbed a handful of wheat, put some in her mouth, and chewed on it. She seemed quite satisfied.
"Do you have a scale at home? Why don't you weigh it yourself? It's not fair for me to tell you how much it is, is it?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go get it right away."
After weighing it, it weighed thirty-three jin (approximately 18.5 kg), and then we started discussing the price.
Lin Yue'e directly asked for three cents.
The old lady thought it was a bit expensive.
Lin Shan thought it was too cheap.
"Isn't this a bit too expensive? A pound of mixed noodles only costs 12 cents, and this is equivalent to two pounds of mixed noodles. Girl, can you give me a discount?"
The old lady really liked these grains. They were large and plump, and had a nice chewy texture.
"Auntie, I took a risk doing this. You saw how I almost got caught. If I hadn't been lucky and they hadn't searched further, I wouldn't be able to escape today. If you don't want it, I can take it home and eat it."
Lin Yue'e was about to pick up her bag and leave when she said that.
"Hey, no way! Let's talk this out properly. Thirty-three pounds of this is only nine yuan and ninety cents. Can you give me a discount? If it weren't for the family feast in a few days, I really wouldn't want to bring this out."
Lin Yue'e knew that these old ladies were shrewd and calculating.
So he went out and took two large white radishes out of the basket. He brought them to the old lady.
"Auntie, I won't let you lose out. These two big radishes must weigh at least ten pounds. Is that alright? Let's not try to bargain, it's not easy for anyone."
The radishes I planted in my space have grown this big in just one day. I kept two for seeds, so I won't feel bad giving away any leftover radishes.
"Alright then, you're a good girl. If you ever need anything from your auntie, I'll help you find a buyer. Don't be silly and just stand there on the street."
The deal was done. I made ten yuan from the old lady and developed this relationship. Now I have a future.
Lin Yue'e rode her bicycle back to the village, which took only three hours. Upon returning, she immediately carried a basket of pig feed to the Party Secretary to hand over her task.
"You're much slower today. There are still four baskets of hay left, and it looks like we're almost done."
Secretary Chen hadn't seen Lin Yue'e for most of the day, but since she was pregnant, he couldn't keep a close watch on her.
"Uncle Chen, I just found a large patch of good grass. I've been cutting grass over there and finished my task a long time ago. All that's left is to come over and register."
"That's good. By the way, I heard your family is getting Jinbao married next week. Don't keep arguing with your family; you should go back and lend a hand if you can, after all, it's a big event for your family."
Secretary Chen tried to persuade Lin Yue'e.
"Uncle Chen, I understand. But I'm afraid they won't allow me to go back. The main problem is that they're always eyeing my house. You know, I have a child now, and that house will be the foundation for my child and me to live in. My parents... I can't do anything about it."
Lin Yue'e wanted to say what it had to do with her, but she still had to live in the village, and it wouldn't be good to appear too heartless. So it was better to play the victim.
"Hey, you too. Daughter, listen to your uncle's advice. Gu Zhiqing is gone. You should listen to your mother and not have any more children. Remarrying is the best choice for you."
Not only Secretary Chen, but everyone in the village thought Lin Yue'e was too stubborn, and that this child would only be a burden.
"Uncle, you don't need to say anything. I can't bear to part with him. He's my child. I really... Uncle, I have to go now."
Lin Yue'e couldn't continue speaking. She turned around, covered her mouth, and left looking sad. Secretary Chen felt he had talked too much; look, he had made her cry.
Sigh, it's all fate. If Zhang Tiedan really wants to marry her, then having another child wouldn't be a bad thing; it's just one more mouth to feed.
That's right. Zhang Tiedan has approached quite a few aunties, hoping they can help persuade Lin Yue'e to abort the child. He believes that once Lin Yue'e is pregnant, she will definitely be willing to marry him.
When Lin Yue'e finished her work and was on her way back, she had to pass by the Lin family's gate, but she was stopped by Zhang Guifen in the courtyard.
"Yue'e, stop right there."
Zhang Guifen looked unwell.
Lin Yue'e wanted to pretend she hadn't heard and go home directly, but Zhang Guifen immediately ran up and stopped her.
"You brat! Your brother is getting married in a few days, and you didn't even offer to come and help. What kind of sister are you? Besides, when something happened at home the other day, your brother and I were both bedridden, and you didn't even come to see us. Don't you have any humanity at all?"
How could Zhang Guifen not be angry? The time she fell off the mountain, her leg was swollen when she came back, and it still hurts a bit when she walks. This daughter of hers had never come to visit her even once. At that time, she thought it wouldn't matter if she fell.
This was a perfect opportunity for Lin Yue'e to back down; if she had any sense of propriety, she would have gone home to help out, perhaps by cooking or something. But instead, she didn't even appear.
It's not time to wrap up yet. Everyone's still in the fields. Zhang Guifen and the others are only busy at home because they have a wedding coming up in their family.
"Didn't you say we'd cut ties? If we've cut ties, then we're not related anymore. Why are you talking like it's nothing? If you say you don't mean it, fine, I can still go home and mooch a meal or something. It's perfect timing, I'm pregnant now, so I'll have to rely on my family to support me from now on. You guys have cost my family so much money before. It's only right that you support me, isn't it?"
Lin Yue'e deliberately rubbed her wrists and shoulders.
"You don't know, I've been working really hard these past few days. If it weren't for the severing of ties, I, as the older sister, would have let Jinbao do my chores from now on, since I used to dote on her so much."
"What...what are you thinking? Jinbao is getting married soon and will have to support his wife. How can he help you with chores? Coming over for meals is fine, but why don't you just move back in? Jinbao is getting married, so let him borrow your house to hold the wedding first. It'll make your house look grand too. Anyway, you'll need someone to take care of you when you have children, so you can live here from now on."
Zhang Guifen thought to herself, "This girl knows that too? She's pregnant now and has to give birth to this bastard child. She'll have to rely on someone in the future."
