Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Building a House (1)_1
“Why did you buy so much stuff?” Guo Huiniang couldn’t help but ask when she ca out to help. Didn’t her sister-in-law ntion she was just going into the city to handle so business matters? How did it turn into buying this much stuff?
“All of these were exchanged with Ziyin’s life.” replied Lin Changshu, unable to hold back his words.
“What happened?” Guo Huiniang and the elders were panicked. Did they encounter danger during their trip to the city?
“They saw soone trying to assassinate a young mistress and a child, Ziyin stepped in to help and got injured. They sent this stuff as a token of their gratitude,” Wu Dayou said ambiguously, which was a story that the three had made up on the coach ride ho in order to avoid baseless speculation from the villagers.
“Are you hurt?” Zige couldn’t hold back her tears.
“It’s just an external injury, only the one on my arm is a bit deep, the doctor said it would be fine if I rest and keep it dry for a while.” Lin Ziyin tried to reassure her.
It was only then that the villagers noticed Lin Ziyin was covered in blood. She had been wearing earth-colored clothes, so the blood wasn’t clear to see. Now looking closely after Wu Dayou’s words, weren’t those damaged parts of her clothes from knife wounds?
Many villagers lost their envy after seeing this.
The stuff exchanged with one’s life, that’s really tough!
“You should lay down in the house. Why didn’t you just run off facing danger with your small fra? What were you thinking, rushing in like that?” Lin Zige scolded her while worrying.
Lin Ziyin obediently listened, promising over and over again, “Next ti I’ll definitely run far away. Isn’t it just because I was blocked and couldn’t run?”
“Everyone, sorry for the inconvenience. Ziyin was unsettled today, we weren’t able to entertain you properly.” Lin Changshu apologized to everyone.
“It’s good that everyone is okay,” soone said.
“Consider it our luck.”
…
“When will all this food be finished?” There were those who didn’t want to leave.
But Lin Changshu didn’t give them a chance, directly closing the gate of the courtyard.
“What on earth happened?” Once the door was closed and only the family was left, the old man anxiously started asking.
Lin Changshu honestly narrated the incident that happened in the Capital City.
“Are you stupid or not?” Lin Zige sobbed. “When other people run into danger, they hide. Only fools like you would go forward. What if sothing happened to you, what would grandpa, your brother and sister-in-law, and I do?”
“I know what I’m doing,” Lin Ziyin replied. “See? I’m fine, right?”
“Does big sister know martial arts?” Lin Changting looked at her in awe, “I want to learn it too.”
“I want to learn too,” Yanzhi chid in, not wanting to be outdone, even though he didn’t understand much.
“Your sister doesn’t know martial arts. I was able to kill the enemy purely by taking them by surprise. However, during that fight, so unknown things sprang up in my mind, and I acted unconsciously. It seed to work out, so if you guys want to learn, I’ll teach you. But, you can’t be afraid of hard work.” Lin Ziyin spoke while covertly observing her family’s reaction.
On the way back, she had already prepared her responses to the questions and suspicions they might have raised.
Sure enough, the mont her words ca out, Lin Changshu and his father visibly relaxed.
“Sister-in-law, pass so pastries around for everyone, we have plenty.” Lin Ziyin said.
Yanzhi’s eyes sparkled at the ntion of a treat.
Seeing the eagerness in her son and his uncle’s eyes, Guo Huiniang smiled and got up. She handed out pastries to them and so to the old man, but neither she nor Zige took any.
