Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Different Thoughts(2)_1 Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Different Thoughts(2)_1 It ca straight out of his mouth as soon as he thought of it.
“Mother.” Ma Zhicai was in a hurry, don’t tell him he wasn’t regretting now? This mother would just provoke him.
“So what if we broke up the engagent? That doesn’t an we can’t pick it back up.” Ma Dalang said as he ca out of the house, “Can that Wu Dayou compare to our son?”
“Father, you’re not thinking…” Ma Zhicai thought of an uncomfortable possibility, his eyes instantly widening in shock. “She does have a dubious relationship with Wu Dayou.”
“What dubious relationship.” Ma Dalang frowned, correcting him. “Setting an engagent is not the sa as getting married. Have you not seen the Lin family rising in status? In the future, you will need a lot of silver for your studies to beco a scholar. Can our family afford that?”
“This?” Ma Zhicai was sowhat embarrassed, he was always proud, to go back to Lin Zige, he really couldn’t swallow his pride.
“Pack up, we’re going to the Lin family to join their wedding banquet.” Ma Dalang glared at him, sternly instructing.
Mrs Yan’s eyes lit up, “Son, when you beco a governnt official in the future, you can have as many concubines as you want. For now, don’t be foolish, you can’t give up the riches within your grasp.”
Ma Zhicai agreed with his parents’ idea in his heart, but he couldn’t swallow his pride.
Ma Dalang and Mrs Yan didn’t care whether he was willing or not. They grabbed several eggs from the henhouse, brought so change, and took Ma Zhicai to the Lin Family ho.
The Lin family’s ho was bustling at the mont. The house was at full capacity, the weather was warm, and the outside was filled with villagers.
Lin Ziyin, Lin Zige, Guo Huiniang, and the daughter-in-law from the Bai family and Luo Zheng family who were helping with the cooking, were bustling around in the small house.
“Is this tofu? It’s delicious.”
“Why didn’t we think of this?”
…
The dishes at the Lin’s were mainly tofu, tofu skin, and stewed at, as well as fish, chicken, and at. They were served in generous portions.
“Amitabha.” Amid the revelry, several martial monks appeared at the doorway.
“Master.” Seeing the arrivals, Lin Changshu imdiately greeted them with great joy.
“Amitabha. Today is the benefactor’s housewarming celebration. The abbot has specially instructed to bring a peace charm to the benefactor. If the benefactor places it under the beam, it can ensure the peace and safety of the house.” The leading martial monk said, holding his palms together. Another monk handed a box to Lin Changshu.
“Thank you, master.” Overjoyed, Lin Changshu knew those peace charms from Ding’an Temple were hard to co by. The abbot must have sent soone over because of their recent cooperation.
“Please co in, Master.” Lin Changshu invited enthusiastically.
“Amitabha.” The martial monk politely declined, “The benefactor’s family is busy, we will not disturb you today.”
“Please wait.” Hearing the commotion, Lin Ziyin quickly ca out, “Please take these back for everyone to try.”
She was holding a basket, “Everything is vegetarian, there is no animal oil at all. I also cleaned the pan.”
After exchanging glances, the monks thanked her, then took the basket and left.
The villagers looked on enviously, they never thought that the Lin family would establish a relationship with Ding’an Temple through their tofu business. The Lin family was sure to beco prosperous in the future.
“Congratulations.” Just as Lin Ziyin was about to enter the kitchen, she saw the Ma family, a large group of people, arrive uninvited.
There were at least eight of them, big and small.
Seeing the delicious food on the table, Ma Youcai imdiately dashed over to find a place to sit.
The faces of Lin Changshu and the old master instantly turned cold.
The villagers were also puzzled, the Ma family had already fallen out with the Lin family, how could they have the nerve to co over?
“Congratulations on your new ho.” Despite the surprised looks from everyone, Ma Dalang handed over the basket he was holding, along with five coins.
“What are you doing here?” Lin Zige ca out from the kitchen and flew into a rage, ready to charge over with a spatula in her hand.
“Zige.” The old master stopped her.
Lin Zige was standing to one side, looking indignantly at the Ma family.
Under the villagers’ gossipy gaze, Ma Zhicai wished he could turn around and leave. However, his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Zige’s plain and simple attire.
Because of the poverty back ho, the previous Lin Zige’s clothing was patched on top of patches, and her complexion was wax-yellow. But today, Lin Zige is dressed in a light yellow blouse, wearing a pale purple outer garnt, paired with a skirt of the sa color—she was beautiful from any angle. Coupled with the Lin family’s recent good diet, her face had also beco very fair. She was no worse than a young lady from the city.
