Husband, please lend me your virtues

Chapter 118: The cousin of the exchanged cousin refuses to accept the rags of the reborn cousin (3)

Yan Heyu was using cold water in a small room separated from the kitchen when he heard his younger brother Yan Hesu talking to Lin Zijin, whom he had just met this morning, in the yard. Yan Heyu paused for a moment.

How come she came to him?

What happened that made her willing to knock on the door of this bad guy regardless of other people's opinions?

He quickened his movements, poured the remaining bucket of water over his head, wiped the water off his body with a towel, put on his clothes, and came out with wet hair.

Seeing Lin Zijin in a navy blue skirt sitting on a shabby bamboo chair in their yard was an out-of-place scene.

Yan Heyu was secretly happy that Lin Zijin came to him despite the strange looks from the villagers, but then he felt disappointed. A girl as dazzling as the bright moon should not be dragged into the bottomless abyss by him because of his delusions, and bear the contempt of the world with him.

"Comrade Yan, I came here this time to buy the 'Liang Shan Zhi Zhen' you have. I wonder if you are willing to part with it?"

“Any amount is fine.”

Yan Heyu heard Lin Zijin's request without hesitation and said, "Comrade Lin, please sit here for a while. I will go into the house and get it for you."

"Just follow the normal market price."

Since you didn't plan to have anything to do with Lin Zijin from the beginning, don't give her a favor so that she would owe him and have any dealings with him just for the sake of this favor.

As for the money, he could use it to buy some things that his family could use. She was too thin, and her brother and mother were also too weak. They should all eat something nutritious to replenish their bodies.

"it is good."

Lin Zijin sat on the bamboo chair without moving. Seeing Yan Heyu tense and unwilling to get too close to her, she wondered what she had done to make Yan Heyu avoid her?

Yan Heyu took out the medicinal herb and handed it to Lin Zijin. In the process, he accidentally touched Lin Zijin's fingers. Yan Heyu felt strange ripples in his heart. After taking his hand back, he put it on his back and rubbed the fingers that had just touched Lin Zijin.

"Thank you, Comrade Yan. Here, please count them."

Lin Zijin took out a stack of folded coins from her skirt pocket, ranging from a small one-cent note to a large one-yuan note.

Yan Heyu took the money from Lin Zijin and looked at the small amount of money in front of him. He felt sorry for the girl in front of him. He thought that last year's work points had not been paid out yet and the people in the countryside relied on these work points to make a living.

This money must be most of their family’s savings. It’s wrinkled and you can tell it’s been hidden for a long time.

In the general environment, every family was not rich. Yan Heyu's family was born into a landlord family. Although it seemed to outsiders that their wealth was lost and their houses were confiscated in that catastrophe, his grandfather had foresight and had hidden part of the family wealth in the mountains before.

It seems that these brothers do not have stable meals, their clothes are more shabby than anyone else in the village, and they fill their stomachs with coarse grains such as sweet potatoes every day. They do not even have meat during the Chinese New Year.

But with the things hidden at home and Yan and Yu's ventures into the black market, the brothers had plenty of good stuff, but they had to hide from the villagers and not eat too much and become fat, which would attract their attention.

This medicinal herb was also a top-quality one that he saw on the black market and he took it home for future use.

Everything he had just thought of was shattered. If he took the money for the ridiculous rumors, how would Lin Zijin's family live? Last year's work points did not come down so quickly.

Yan Heyu pushed the money back to Lin Zijin and said, "Give it to me when last year's work points come in. There's no rush right now."

"Yes." Lin Zijin took it readily. If he didn't want it, then she could just refuse it. She could also try to curry his favor in front of him from time to time in the name of repaying his kindness.

The two of them were not very familiar with each other at the moment, and Yan Heyu was a taciturn person, so he remained silent when Lin Zijin brought up any topic. Yan Heyu's younger brother Yan Hesu was more talkative than him.

Lin Zijin could only thank Yan Heyu and said goodbye with the medicinal ingredients and went home. When he got home, he added the medicine left by Doctor Qin and started to boil it.

Just after the unconscious Lin Zhuang was fed the medicine, Lin Manman's mother, Aunt Lin Liu, came to the Lin family with Lin Manman, who had lost too much blood and whose face was pale.

When she smelled the pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine from the Lin family, Sixth Aunt Lin curled her lips. She was wasting money. A naughty boy just had a minor illness. Was it necessary to call a doctor and change the medicine every few days?

If she were to say, she could just wrap Lin Zhuang in a thick quilt and force him to drink a big bowl of ginger water, and in this hot and humid weather, let him sweat a little.

Aunt Lin Liu helped her daughter to sit on a chair in the main room, and with a smile on her face, she went into Lin Zhuang's room.

"Fifth sister-in-law, Lin Zhuang is still ill, isn't he? As soon as I came in, I could smell a strong smell of medicine."

Aunt Lin Liu said these words of concern to Lin Zhuang, and stopped at the threshold honestly. She didn't even glance at the bed, but smiled at Lin's mother.

Seeing that besides Lin Zhuang and Lin Ma, there was also Lin Zijin standing in the room, Aunt Lin Liu frowned. This girl was not as easy to fool as her mother.

"Girl Zijin, your cousin is still sitting in the main room, would you like to go over and keep her company?"

Seeing Lin Zijin sitting motionless on the chair beside the bed, "Your cousin wanted to see you as soon as she woke up. Ouch, Manman's head injury is quite serious, it's not easy to move. Zijin, you should go to the main room to accompany Manman!"

Lin Zijin put down the paper gun that Lin Zhuang had been fiddling with, and said with a half-smile, "Sixth Aunt, since my cousin is so uncomfortable and can't move around casually, there's no need for you to bring your injured cousin over to visit us."

"Didn't your cousin say she missed you? I had no choice but to bring her along as well."

Lin Zijin scoffed at this reason. They all lived in the same village and their two families lived next to each other. They could see each other almost every day. Although the original body and Lin Manman said that they were cousins, in fact their relationship was not as close as that of others.

Seeing that Lin Zijin was stubborn and refused to leave, Aunt Lin Liu let her do whatever she wanted. Her face turned green and she loudly called Lin Manman from the main room to come in. "Manman, didn't you say you missed your second cousin? She's right here, come in."

It would be best to take Lin Zijin away. Mother Lin has such a soft temper, she will definitely get what she wants.

"Hey, come on."

Lin Manman came to Lin Zijin's house with an injured head and wanted to see what her lucky cousin looked like now. After all, she was still far away from the noble cousin who acted like an official's wife in her previous life.

God has mercy on her and allowed her to live a second life. Of course, Lin Manman wants to live a life of luxury, but she can only feel sorry for her cousin.

As her cousin's younger sister, she really liked her cousin's fiancé, but she had to reluctantly give him up despite her good cousin's injustice.
