“Wife, let’s go in and eat meat today. You haven’t bought meat in a long time.”
“Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Don’t you know you can die from eating here?” A woman scolded her husband. She was referring to Lin Yuelan’s notorious reputation as the jinx.
“Chang Feng, Chang Dong, are you guys going to eat here?” Some people were surprised to see Lin Changfeng and Lin Changdong walking toward the door.
Lin Changfeng smiled and said, “I haven’t had meat in a long time.” Although that was what he said, everyone knew that anyone who attended the ceremony was there to befriend the jinx.
Lin Changfeng was holding a red packet. This was a congratulatory gift for Lin Yuelan.
If he were stingy, he would only give one or two copper coins. If he was generous, he might give some silver.
“Hey, Chanxing, Xiaoliu, what are you doing here?” Some people were surprised again when they saw the couple and their child taking a step forward into the yard.
Lin Changxing didn’t like to talk. Zhou Xiaoliu’s face was a little red as she said, “my son insisted on coming to eat meat. We had no choice but to bring him her.” They also used their child as an excuse, but in reality, they also came to befriend Lin Yuelan.
When Lin Changxing and Zhou Xiaoliu decided to sell the land to Lin Yuelan, they already had the intention of befriending her.
They were envious of Lin Yuelan’s growing abilities. They wanted to befriend her and see if she could raise them to her height too.
Someone asked in fear, “aren’t you afraid of being cursed?”
Lin Changxing and his wife did not speak.
Lin Yuelan was already 12 years old. Other than the incident with Lin Mingqing and the Zhou family, there didn’t seem to be anyone else who had been jinxed by Lin Yuelan.
Lin Mingqing’s incident was actually caused by Lin Laosan’s family, so that was not a curse. Also, the Zhou family’s incident was clearly caused by their son’s gambling problem, but they actually pushed the blame onto Lin Yuelan.
After thinking about it, Lin Changxing and his wife thought that Lin Yuelan’s jinx was not that strong.
Therefore, after the family discussed, Lin Changxing’s family of three came over.
After that, a few more people entered the courtyard.
“Eh, Lin Sanniu is striding over with an aggressive aura. Her biological father and grandfather are here. This ceremony will be ruined.” Some villagers were happy to see this. However, it was hard to tell if they were happy to see Lin Sanniu humiliated or the ceremony destroyed.
Of the two tables, only one was filled.
Seeing that the auspicious time was about to arrive, Guo Bing and the others quickly prepared tea.
As the house was small, the ceremony was held in the courtyard.
Lin Deshan sat in the middle of the east side of the stone table, which represented “respect.”
Lin Yuelan was holding her tea and was about to kneel when a commotion suddenly broke out outside, followed by loud scolding.
Of course, the noise outside affected the people inside. Lin Yiwei, Doctor Zhang, and Lin Deshan all frowned when they heard the sharp curses, but they immediately relaxed.
Lin Yiwei said, “we can’t miss the auspicious time. Lan ‘Er, continue with the ceremony. I’ll go outside and stop them.”
As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but Jiang Zhennan stopped him. His sharp eyes swept across the door, and he said coldly, “uncle village chief, this ceremony needs you to be present as a witness. Leave this to us.”
They couldn’t miss the auspicious time, so Jiang Zhennan and the other men immediately went out to stop the people outside from ruining the ceremony.
As for Lin Yuelan, she frowned slightly, then knelt down without any hesitation and said to Lin Deshan in a crisp voice, “Grandpa, please have some tea!”
When Lin Deshan heard Lin Yuelan call him Grandpa, he immediately became excited, and a teardrop flickered in the corner of his eye. His hands trembled with excitement as he calmly took the tea Lin Yuelan offered him. He opened the cup and took a sip, then said, “Girl, we’ll be grandfather and grandson in the future, and we’ll rely on each other. I don’t have any great wealth. I only have one medicine shop. I’ll give it to you. I believe that my good granddaughter will take good care of it. ”
This meant that the Lin family’s medicinal shop would be Lin Yuelan’s in the future.
