Chapter 755 ? Farmer's Old Lady X Old Bachelor's Neighbor (Forty-two)
"Smooth talk!" Ling Jiu snorted coldly when she heard this, but she was not really unhappy. She just didn't know what to say.
Lingjiu thought about it and added seriously: "Although I am very moved and I believe you are sincere to me, I still can't agree to you because I really have no plans to remarry, sorry!"
Although Lingjiu refused so simply, she felt a little uncomfortable, because once this person gave up on her, she might not be able to eat the delicacies.
You can never eat delicious food again, which is undoubtedly a torture for a foodie.
Thinking of this, Lingjiu thought about whether she would buy a house in the town and let them move to the town.
Because according to the original memory, there are two restaurants and several small restaurants in the town. I don’t know how it tastes, but it’s still better than what my family makes, right?
In addition to being serious, my original body is also a relatively frugal person. Naturally, I have never been to the town's house or restaurant for dinner.
After all, ordinary people don’t have much money. They usually have to be frugal and are usually reluctant to spend money indiscriminately.
The Xin family used to be just a little better than other people's families, and they were far from being rich, so the original body was also reluctant to spend money to eat in restaurants or restaurants.
Even if you have something to do, I would rather wait for home hungry before eating, or buy a bun to fill my stomach.
Lingjiu didn't have so many concerns. After all, she is not short of money now. Not to mention spending money, she can afford to eat in a restaurant.
Of course, Lingjiu is not the kind of person who eats alone, so going to a restaurant for dinner is not a long-term solution, so the best way is to invite a chef who can cook back.
"It's okay, you have the right to refuse, but I won't give up easily. I'm willing to wait until the day you're willing."
Although Ling Xiujin was rejected again, she was a little disappointed, but she was not unhappy. After all, the major events of marriage were all things that you and I wished.
So he had to wait for the day when she let go.
"It's up to you!" Ling Jiu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, so she turned around and left.
Ling Xiujin looked at her back, and a faint smile appeared in her deep black eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
On the way back, Lingjiu heard two women in the village chatting about Ling Xiujin's gossip.
Woman a: "You said that the third son of Feng now has a lot of money in his hands. If he doesn't marry a wife, is it possible that he really plans to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"
Woman b: "Who knows? Maybe he feels that he has a son, so there is no need to marry another wife."
"What son? It's not a biological son, I don't believe he doesn't want to have a biological son." The woman retorted with disdain, her tone a little sour.
The "Feng Lao San" mentioned by the two is nothing else, but the original owner Feng Yongnian. Although the original owner has no brothers, he has cousins.
The original owner ranks third, so he is called Feng Lao San, but many people like to call him "old bachelor" behind his back.
The reason why Woman A's tone is so sour is simply out of jealousy. On the one hand, Ling Xiujin has gone from a pauper who can't afford to marry a wife to a well-known "celebrity".
On the other hand, he was jealous of Ling Xiujin's goodness to Goudan, an adopted son, and even offered him a study. You should know that studying in this era was very expensive.
The woman has three sons. The one she loves the most is her younger son. Her younger son also wants to study, but their family is poor and has no ability to support the children to study.
Therefore, after learning that Ling Xiujin actually sent Goudan to school, she felt very sad.
When the woman heard this, she deeply agreed: "Isn't it? It's fine if he was poor before and couldn't afford to marry a wife, but now he has the conditions to marry a wife, but he doesn't want to marry a wife yet. I really don't know what he thought."
Since Ling Xiujin's economic conditions improved, there are a few people in the village who want to be a matchmaker for him and introduce him to him, but Ling Xiujin declined one by one.
The reason is that he has no plans to marry a wife for the time being, and just wants to raise Goudan to adulthood.
In fact, this is just an excuse for him to perfunctory others.
In order not to let people gossip, Ling Xiujin had already told the matchmaker to help keep it a secret when she asked the matchmaker to come to propose marriage.
Therefore, except for Xin's family, no one knew that he had mentioned the marriage to Lingjiu, and she refused, otherwise the village would not know what would be "live" like.
The conversation between the two continued.
"You said he was not good, right?" said the woman.
"No way? He doesn't look like he can't." When the woman heard this, she suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face, and there was a little more excitement in her eyes.
"Why can't it be? If it weren't for his hidden disease, why didn't he want to marry a wife?" said the woman with a mysterious face.
When she said this, she deliberately lowered her voice, her tone was a bit confident, as if she had already known the truth.
The woman b didn't know whether she was too shocked or was thinking about the authenticity of this matter, so she didn't answer her words again.
The woman continued, "You think, if he hadn't been able to have children, how could he adopt a child so kindly when he was so poor that he could not afford to eat?"
"Maybe he just couldn't bear to watch the child die, so he would kindly bring Goudan back for adoption, or really want a son to pass on the family line. After all, he was so poor that he couldn't afford to marry a wife at that time."
The woman b retorted, but a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, which seemed to be a little shaken.
When the original owner brought Goudan back, the villagers talked a lot. Some thought he was stupid, some thought he was lucky, so they picked up a son for nothing.
Some people also think that the original owner is kind-hearted and has a good impression of him, but more people are not optimistic about the original owner, and it may not be necessary to say that Goudan may be a ungrateful wolf in the future.
From ancient times to the present, people have attached great importance to blood ties, especially in ancient times, which emphasized that "unfilial piety is the greatest thing", so people attach great importance to their offspring.
Even if people cannot have their own children for some reason, they will find ways to adopt a child from their brothers or side branches, or adopt a child in order to pass on the family line.
Therefore, Ling Xiujin said that she did not plan to get married for the time being, but just wanted to raise Goudan to adulthood, which many people could not understand.
Although the words that Woman A said just now were suspected of maliciously distorting the facts, they were also her thoughts and guesses.
"Even if he adopted Goudan out of kindness or to keep a family for the Feng family, now he has the conditions to marry a wife, why don't he find a wife to have a child by himself?"
At this time, the woman became more and more convinced of her guess. After all, in her opinion, under conditions, no one does not want her own child to raise a child who is not related to her.
