Chapter 393: Almost Biting a Mouthful of Big Black Teeth
Xu Qinghe didn't care whether he would be implicated or not. Instead, he asked people to spread the news.
Because of the quarrel caused by Xu Qinghai and others, there were people who whispered behind his back that he was cruel.
Those people talk without any hesitation, they have no idea what is going on, and they only have one sentence to say when they open their mouths.
That is to say, he is heartless. Even if that family treated them badly, they had raised him to this age, and he couldn't just ignore their family affection.
Now, hearing that he cared about his brothers and went through great efforts to rescue the people by asking others for help, and even helped to arrange good jobs for them, I felt really bad and slapped those people in the face.
Some people still want to find fault with everything, and grumble about why people aren't just given money directly, instead of having to work so hard.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qinghe's family didn't even need to step forward, as they were immediately pointed at and scolded by others.
What the hell is this? They are not his parents. Who can give money to others unconditionally?
Look how capable you are. If you are so talented, why don't you take out the money in your pocket and give it away for free?
There are still many people who understand the situation, so even if some people are not convinced, they dare not jump out and talk nonsense anymore.
Lai Zi and his companions did not fight alone. They were not familiar with the capital city anyway, so they simply formed a team of two and divided the money they earned equally after deducting the principal.
Matchmaker Wang acted quickly. After making the decision with Uncle Cui, she came to Li Xiao's house that afternoon.
I heard that Uncle Cui wanted to marry me because he was afraid that this incident would affect his reputation. Lin refused without any hesitation.
"It's not a big deal. I have raised my son all these years, acting as both a father and a mother. I have suffered so much injustice. If I had stopped making money because of these rumors, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets..."
Lin looks weak, but she is actually a very strong person.
As she spoke, she took out a handful of copper coins from her purse and put them into Wang the Matchmaker's hand.
"Thank you for making this trip, Aunt Wang. Please go back and tell Uncle Cui that we will remain the same as before and that what happened today should be treated as if it never happened. We should not take it to heart..."
She is good-looking, and many people wanted to propose to her in the past few years, but she rejected them all with reasons.
The imperial court encouraged widows to remarry, but Lin also had her concerns. Even though it was difficult and tiring, she gritted her teeth and persevered because she didn't want her son to suffer any injustice.
So afterwards she dressed herself in an old-fashioned way, and tried to talk less to people when she was outside, and tried to communicate less with others. In this way, she managed to get through these years safely.
Matchmaker Wang clenched the copper coins in her hand, then squeezed the silver note in her purse, and could not help but smile.
Because of this silver note, before she came, she was thinking that she must make this marriage happen so that she could get more reward money from Uncle Cui.
However, after hearing what Lin said, Matchmaker Wang's mentality changed completely.
The woman in front of him looked very calm, and there was a tenacity in her words, which was completely different from the average widow.
Matchmaker Wang admired such women very much. If she had arranged this marriage before just to get more money, now she was completely thinking about Lin.
Even though Lin refused outright, Matchmaker Wang still pulled her to sit down and painstakingly analyzed the current situation for her. She talked about a lot of things, and in the end, she said that marrying Uncle Cui would be beneficial to both of their families.
Matchmaker Wang is very eloquent. She has been matchmaking for people everywhere over the years and knows exactly what women are thinking.
"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should think more about your brother..."
What mother doesn’t love her child? If it can help her child embark on a better path, there is no mother who would be unwilling to do so.
"If your relationship really works out, your child will have a brother to help him. Even if something happens to you in the future, he won't have to live alone."
These words really touched Lin's heart. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it anymore.
In fact, when it comes down to it, Lin is not completely indifferent to Uncle Cui. The two have been in contact for such a long time, and she is very satisfied with such a man.
It's just that their family backgrounds are not compatible, and she never dared to dream of such a good thing before.
So after some persuasion and advice from matchmaker Wang, Lin finally stopped refusing outright. She felt a little embarrassed and promised to think about it before giving her a reply.
This is reasonable. Even if she is a remarried woman, no one would agree to the marriage without saying anything.
Matchmaker Wang did not urge her. She just told her to think about it carefully and discuss it with the child. She would come back in a few days.
In fact, Lin was embarrassed to talk about this matter, and Uncle Cui was also a little nervous.
After sending Matchmaker Wang away, he did not go out to work anymore. Anyway, his two sons were capable of taking care of themselves, so he could just leave it to them.
It was not until Xu Qinghe brought Lai Zi to his house that he came back to his senses.
He originally thought that Lin would not come again the next day, but when it was working time on a normal day, Lin and the people from the north of the city were waiting for him to come and open the door on time, just like every other day.
However, because of this incident, both of them felt a little embarrassed. They lowered their heads, greeted each other, and then started to get busy.
After hearing about this, Cui took time out and asked Xu Qinghe to take her to Lin's home in the north of the city.
I don’t know what the two of them talked about, but after they went back, they said something to Uncle Cui.
Get ready quickly.
Uncle Cui was excited when he heard this, and realized that the matter must be settled.
Sure enough, matchmaker Wang soon brought good news, saying that Lin had agreed.
Because both parties were remarrying, there were not a lot of red tape. Uncle Cui handed everything over to Matchmaker Wang, and their marriage was quickly confirmed, with the wedding date set for half a month later.
It just so happens that Yuxiu's coming-of-age ceremony is still a month away, and they can complete the wedding by then, so there won't be any conflict between the two events.
Yuxiu's family became very happy because of this happy event, but Xu Linzhi must have been very angry these days.
I originally thought that Lai Zi and others would extort a huge sum of money from Yuxiu's family as if they were their own home, and it would be best if the family was destroyed.
But the opposite happened. Not only did they not suffer any loss, but their reputation actually improved because of this incident.
Not to mention Xu Linzhi who couldn't swallow this humiliation, the village chief Xu Qingrong had a gloomy face all day long. He stood in the alley watching people coming and going in the pharmacy, and almost broke his big black teeth.
