Chapter 740 I think you are the jinx
Old Lady Lin looked at Lin Dagui and said:
"This girl was born to bring bad luck to us. You don't even know that she has always been at odds with us. She is the calamity star of our family.
No, I have to find a way to ask her for a few shops, these are all owed to us by Bai Wanwan."
Lin Dagui looked at the Lin family members and felt that they had changed:
"Brother, you don't think this is the county magistrate's fault, do you? What's the point of this?
How could you be so confused? She saved my life."
Old Man Lin patted his shoulder and said:
"Dagui! This girl has a grudge against our Lin family. You don't know how far her mother went. Zainian ran away with another man.
We have no other options. Come in with me and I will explain it to you slowly."
Lin Dagui followed Old Man Lin into the house. Old Man Lin felt under the bed for a long time before he smiled and said:
"Dagui! Dad knew you were not dead, so I kept these things.
You are the one I love the most since childhood. Are you married now?"
Lin Dagui shook his head and said, "I have always liked Lin Xiaoxiao from our village. Dad, how is Xiaoxiao now?"
"Oh! It's been so many years, don't worry about Lin Xiaoxiao anymore.
During the disaster years, Lin Xiaoxiao was sold by Lin Lao San, but she turned out to be a very strong-willed girl. She jumped off a cliff out of frustration and her body was never found. "Old Man Lin shook his head and sighed.
Lin Dagui's eyes turned red: "Are you saying that Lin Xiaoxiao is dead?"
"Yes, that's why, Dagui! Just give up on this idea!
Find a woman and live a good life. I have saved a lot of money for you.
Look, this is one hundred taels, enough for you to buy a house here, and here are ten taels of gold, enough for you to marry a good wife. "Old Master Lin has always favored this youngest son. Over the years, he has saved a lot of money secretly, just to find his youngest son and let him get married and have children.
Lin Dagui shook his head and said:
"No, I don't believe it, how could this happen?
I have made an agreement with Xiaoxiao, and when I save enough money, I will come back and marry her."
Old Master Lin frowned and said, "What's so good about Lin Xiaoxiao? I'll ask a matchmaker to come over tomorrow and have her look good for you."
The next day, Mr. Lin really found a matchmaker and spent 100 coins. The matchmaker was very happy: "What kind of girl do you want? The girls in our county are all good."
Old Master Lin smoked his pipe and said, "My son wants to find someone with a clean family background, preferably someone who is sensible and filial, who can handle both housework and the kitchen, and who is good-looking."
The matchmaker was stunned: "Your requirements are too high. Do you have a house?"
Mr. Lin shook his head and said, "No, but it will be available soon."
The matchmaker shook her head and said, "Your demands are too high. You want everything. The betrothal gift is not cheap."
Old Master Lin sneered and said, "My family is well off. It's just a house, isn't it? My granddaughter is the county magistrate. She has everything she needs."
The matchmaker sneered and said:
"Don't lie to me. The county magistrate has long said that all her relatives are in the capital. How can you be considered her relative?
Are you the grandpa she's talking about? Oh! What a big face! You even want me to be a matchmaker, and your requirements are so high, don't you even consider whether you are worthy enough? "
Mr. Lin said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you going to be the matchmaker or not?"
The matchmaker threw 100 coins on the table and said:
"No, I won't matchmake anyone else with you. It's too unlucky to matchmake with you. Who do you think you are?
Now, who in Qingshui County doesn't know about you?"
The matchmaker stood in front of the family with her hands on her hips, her face full of disdain, her saliva splattering as she spoke:
"Everyone in Qingshui County knows about your family's troubles!
During the disaster, you drove a mother and her two children out of their home, nearly leaving them to starve to death. How could you possibly do such a wicked thing!"
Her eyes were full of contempt:
"And then you spread rumors outside, saying that our county magistrate is a disaster?
I think you are the jinx! You cling to the county magistrate every day, do you really think others can't see what you are up to?
Don't you just want to make a fortune in Qingshui County? Stop dreaming.
I’m telling you straight up, now everyone knows that your family is a bunch of good-for-nothings!
"You dare to play tricks in Qingshui County? Just wait and see if the people of Qingshui County will forgive you!"
The people of Qingshui County had already gathered in a circle, and when they heard what the matchmaker said, they were also excited.
Someone squeezed forward and shouted loudly, "That's right! Still want to find a good girl in Qingshui County? Whoever marries into your family will be unlucky for the rest of their lives!"
Someone pointed at Lin Dagui in the crowd, his hands shaking with anger:
"Lin Dagui! You beast! Don't you know what kind of person the county magistrate is?
And they helped them to be accomplices of the evil! Do you know how this family treated the county magistrate in the past?
It is not easy for the county magistrate to live to this day. Back in the capital, when she went to this family's house, she couldn't even get a hot meal!
If the county magistrate hadn't gone to the mountains to find wild game to satisfy his hunger, he would have starved to death long ago!"
The man became more and more excited as he spoke, and added:
"What happened? The family went to the county government office and sued the county magistrate's mother!
Now our county's storyteller tells everyone the whole story every day, and you're still pretending to be confused!"
Lin Dagui's face turned pale, and he took a half step back, his voice trembling: "No, it's impossible... My father said that the county magistrate's mother was fooling around outside and ran away with another man..."
"Bah!" The matchmaker interrupted him directly, put her hands on her hips and rushed forward two steps, spitting all over the place:
"They were driven out to escape famine, and met General Huo on the way!
Go back and ask your father how he could have the nerve to make up such nonsense."
Bai Wanwan asked the storyteller to tell her the whole story yesterday.
Because the ancients cared most about reputation, and these people liked to do some small things behind the scenes, she simply told them the whole cause and effect.
At this time, the people of Qingshui County were filled with righteous indignation: "Hurry up and leave our Qingshui County, otherwise we will not be polite."
"Yes, from now on, you guys are not allowed to come to our Qingshui County, otherwise we will beat you up every time we see you."
Mrs. Lin howled, "Don't do it, or we'll sue you. Don't push us."
"What do you want to do?"
The owner of the house said, "If I had known you were a bunch of beasts, I would never have rented the house to you no matter what. I'll give you the rent back, and get out of here right now."
Someone drove them away with sticks and soon forced the group onto the boat in Qingshui County and sent them out directly.
Lin Dachang was so angry that he cursed, "A bunch of robbers, a bunch of bandits, are these people in Qingshui County crazy?"
