Ideals were beautiful, but reality was cruel. Lin Siyan sighed when she thought of the bamboo house's bare walls. At this stage, not to mention making money, it was already good enough to save the first investment capital while solving the problem of food and clothing. Moreover, she hadn't forgotten that she was going to bring Li Xiaobo home for dinner tonight. After three days of marriage, the bride would bring her husband home.
Lin Siyan took the remaining 100 wen and bought two catties of jujube cakes for Cui Corporation according to the original owner's memory. Because she didn't know Lin Yu's hobby and she didn't have much money, she bought two taels of sugar. It cost her 300 wen, of which more than 100 was from Lin Yu's private savings.
The price of sugar in this era was ridiculous. One kilogram of sugar would cost 150 wen, but the two catties of jujube cake only cost her 15 wen.
She had bought everything and looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was getting late, she bought herself a pastry to satisfy her hunger. Then, he brought everything to the gathering place. At this time, the others had already arrived. When they saw Li Xiaobo's basket full of things and her big and small bags, they all had complicated expressions.
Lin Siyan first walked to the ox-cart where the men were sitting. Seeing that there was still some space left in Li Xiaobo's basket, she put the seeds and soap in. Then, under everyone's complicated gazes, he got on the ox cart that the womenfolk were sitting on.
As soon as they got on the ox cart, Uncle Liu, who was driving the cart, counted the number of people. After confirming that everyone was present, he said loudly," Sit tight! Let's go!"
"Hurry up and leave. I think Little Liang is looking for his mother at home.”Madam Chen urged.
The Little Liangzi that Madam Shen mentioned was her son. Although Zhou Xiaocui was at home to help take care of him, as a mother, who wouldn't want to be by her child's side all the time? Moreover, Little Liangzi had just turned one year old.
"That's true. Xiao Cui is an unmarried girl after all. It's hard to say if she can take good care of Xiao Liangzi.”As Mrs. Han spoke, she turned around and looked at the things in Lin Siyan's hands with a curious expression." It's rare for Siyan to come to town. You didn't buy many things?”
"Isn't that a lot? You didn't see the hunter's basket full of things. They were all wrapped in high-quality oil paper. You didn't have to look to know that they were good things.”A woman said enviously," But Siyan, it's not that Sister-in-law wants to criticize you, but you've just married over and don't know how expensive the daily necessities are. You have a few private savings that you have to use sparingly. Don't spend all the money. If that hunter doesn't earn money, you'll starve too."“
"Thank you for your reminder, Sister-in-law." Lin Siyan said with a smile. If they knew that the money she spent today was basically given by Li **, would they be so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths?
"Your Auntie Li is right." Mrs. Han continued," Although today is the day you return home, we all live in the same village. There's no need to be so particular. After all, you still have to live your own life. Even if you didn't bring a gift, they wouldn't say anything.”
"Auntie is right." Lin Siyan listened attentively to the Li Consortium and the Han Consortium's kind reminder and replied with a smile on her face.
"Aunt has taught so much, but she doesn't seem to listen. There are so many people in the Lin family, and they only have such a small gift. You're asking her to save up. If I say she's going to save up, her family can forget about getting anything from her. Besides, no matter how scary that hunter looks, he might hand over the family's money to her after she marries him. She can decide how much money she uses. I think she just feels that her family is dissatisfied with marrying her to the hunter and is not even willing to buy a homecoming gift.”Hui 'er's mother snorted coldly.
Lin Siyan was shocked. The original owner's father's brothers and sisters immediately appeared in her mind. Looking at the things she bought, it was really not enough. However, she didn't have the habit of pretending not to hear so many ugly words spoken in front of her.
She glanced at Hui 'er's mother." Sister-in-law, you should know that you can't say such things when you can eat. It's not up to you to worry about whether our boss has given me the money or not. Moreover, you only saw the things I was holding, but why didn't you see the basket of things our boss had? How do you know we didn't buy any gifts? Seeing was believing.”
"Stop talking." Madam Han patted the back of Lin Siyan's hand and then looked at Hui 'er's mother." You've been a mother for a long time. Why are you so calculative with Siyan? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by others?"”
Hui 'er's mother glared at Lin Siyan and turned her head to look outside the bullock-cart as if she found it an eyesore.
About two hours later, the ox cart returned to the village. Lin Siyan and Li Xiaobo's house was in the innermost part of the village, very close to the mountain range and furthest from the village. Uncle Liu said that he wanted to send them to their doorstep, but Li Xiaobo refused.
After paying for the ox cart, the two of them returned to the bamboo house and began to pack up their things to prepare for dinner at the Lin family's house later.
Lin Siyan looked at the date cake and sugar that she had bought. She thought of the other three brothers besides Lin Yu, her cheap father, and could not help but have a headache.
Although Lin Yu was the eldest of the seven Lin siblings, he was also the one who was the least valued. Because Lin Siyan's great-grandfather used to be a teacher, he valued Lin Yu's father and his generation very much. However, Lin Yu had only been in school for half a year when the teacher declared that he was not suitable for studying. After his great-grandfather personally tested him, he knew that he was dull. In addition, Lin Yu was not good with words, so he, who was not valued in the first place, did not have a sense of existence.
Because his eldest brother was incompetent, his younger brothers and sisters naturally looked down on him like adults. If it wasn't for Lin Sixing's ability, perhaps those brothers of the Lin family would have long stopped interacting with Lin Yu's family. However, Lin Siyan's grandfather always liked to say that brothers and sisters should be united and loving. Therefore, even though the brothers had already split up a long time ago, they still had to show a harmonious appearance when facing the old man.
Lin Yu wasn't good at studying, but he was good at judging people. After knowing that his brothers looked down on him, he gradually distanced himself from them. It also caused Lin Siyan and her brother to rarely interact with these uncles and aunties for so many years, so much so that she had completely forgotten that there was such a big family's things when she bought the gifts.
Lin Siyan was so anxious that she was out of her wits. It was impossible to go to town to buy it again now. Not to mention that the ox cart would not walk at night for this matter, she did not have so much money to buy so many gifts. It didn't matter if she didn't buy it for her other cousins. Fortunately, those cousins didn't split up after they got married. Otherwise, she would have to prepare another set.
