I Am A Big Villain Chapter 6

The team leader Lin family's daughter and the educated youth courtyard's Yan Chu became a couple, this matter had grew wings and generally spread widely throughout the village. Lin Guangguo, this lǎo zi[1], but on the contrary was the last of the person who know.

"Your sān shū[2] and sān shěn[3] will be coming back tomorrow, let Yan Chu come home for dinner." Upon Lin family's dinner table, Lin Guangguo suddenly made such a sentence.

"Patriarch."

Lin Dingding was happy but Huang Ruhua somewhat unwilling. It's almost New Year festival's labor, what was the meaning of letting Yan Chu eat at home? Could it be that her man also fancy that son-in-law?

She gave birth to three sons to get a baby daughter. She didn't demand her to marry a wealthy family. She only asked for peaceful and safety, and she could live a life not having to worry about clothes and food[4]. These were all things that Yan Chu unable to provide.

"That child is still good." Lin Guangguo took two mouthfuls of porridge and said profoundly.

Where could a filial child go bad? Previously he was dissatisfied with Dingding and that child being in the same place, thought that child from the city was too spoiled. But now it seemed that he working on time everyday on the field and too tired to cry out. Previously in those days, it was really possible that he was in poor health and didn't adapt to the water and soil on their side.

He understood his family's daughter the best, was a stubborn one. Since she was so fond of that boy Yan Chu, he had no big drawbacks for people, not necessary to desperately blocking her path.

If there was no house, the old house where they lived previously could be repaired for people to live in too. It was just several tens meters away from home, they still could to a.s.sist financially between each other if the earned work points wasn't enough for the whole family to eat. Lin Guangguo also thought closely, to ask dà jiù gē[5] to do a favor to keep a position of a elementary school teacher for Yan Chu. He was a high school graduate and had higher educational level than the elementary school's headmaster. This way, there was an extra salary every month, plus the team's internal grains distribution, days of their life wouldn't be too difficult.

Bringing up a child for 100 years and longing for 99[6]. Lin Guangguo didn't want her daughter to be upset, he had to think about everything for her.

"Dad!"

Where Lin Dingding still had desire to eat, ah! Holding her father's neck to give a lovable expression, she quickly used already full excuse to tell and send Yan Chu a letter.

"You obviously understand the stature of a wife's returning trip to her parental home, let your elder brother also come that day. He loves Dingding dearly, future nephew-in-law, he bounded to has a on-the-spot investigation carefully."

Lin Guangguo knew that his wife was still not very satisfied with Yan Chu, that son-in-law. He patted her on the back of her hand and said to her.

The married couple in this family was very authoritative and a few daughters-in-law listened to the in-laws to discuss the little sister's marriage, didn't dare to interrupt. As for some Lin Dingding's older brothers, of course was following their younger sister's heart, she was already happy so if Yan Chu later dare to bully their sister, they would hit him until he became obedient.

"Ou——"[7]

Yan Chu holding his chest, his face flushed, and he had a heavy smell of wine. At this late hour, he was so drunk that Lin family didn't send him back to the educated youth courtyard, tidying up a room, then let him sleep in their home.

"You are too honest. My dà jiù[8] and èr shū[9], they poured you a cup and you drank a cup." Lin Dingding was distressed when helping Yan Chu wiped his face, her mouth was complaining yet her face was very happy. Thinking about jiù jiu and èr shū when they left with a smiling expression, she knew that they were satisfied with Yan dà gē[10].

Also, the man she liked was so good, how could others not like him? Remembering upon the dining table jiù jiu, èr shū, and sān shū deliberately make things difficult for Yan Chu just recently, the way he spoke frankly with a.s.surance, Lin Dingding couldn't help to make a fool of herself.

"Don't talk loudly. Your jiù jiu, how could they willing to let you marry me?"

Yan Chu was still drunk from the first time drinking. He was a very restrained person. Even in the talk of business with wine upon the table, he wouldn't make himself in a difficult situation like that.

In the room at this time lit a yellow kerosene lamp, half of Lin Dingding's face was facing to the light and the flawless skin had a slight halo. In addition, the other half of her face had more layers of shadow, which was another kind of beauty.

"Not with you."

Lin Dingding stuff the handkerchief on her hand in Yan Chu's hand. She glanced at him with a blus.h.i.+ng face, turned around and ran out.

Yan Chu smiled, wiped his face and neck with the handkerchief, and a burst of dizziness. .h.i.t him. After all, he couldn't resist the drunkenness and slept.

On the other side, Huang Ruhua and Lin Guangguo were finished to wash their face and rinse their mouth and got unto the kàng[11]. It was also the effort of the meal and Huang Ruhua completely changed her previous att.i.tude toward Yan Chu.

Lin Guangguo looked at his wife's satisfied expression, could only lament, 「Women, your name are fickle.」

It's no wonder Huang Ruhua thought like that. Previously, the relations between those educated youth of the educated youth courtyard and village although harmonious, but the vast majority were indistinct or arrogant. Because they are city dwellers or educated people, compared to these local uneducated farmers who working on the field to eat, naturally they to look down at them with a kind of set up on high[12].

But Yan Chu wasn't like that. Huang Ruhua couldn't say where was the different, but talking to that child made people felt particularly comfortable. Even if she just talked a lot chicken feather, garlic skin[13] upon the dining table, he won't be bothered. He was answering with a few words yet it made many people felt warm.

"Furthermore that child is also very pitiful. His biological father is like that and his biological mother is almost worse than a stepmother, gos.h.!.+" Huang Ruhua thought about when Yan Chu talking about the family situation and his mourning looks at dinner, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"After Dingding and he got married, we will treat him a little better, father-in-law and mother-in-law are same with father and mother. That child didn't have a loving parents, so we will treat him better. He can also remember a little bit and will this love added at Dingding's body."

The rice had been eaten and the elders had also seen it. This matter was basically settled. Huang Ruhua naturally didn't take advantage of those unsatisfactory areas, but found the ways to turn disadvantages into advantages.

"Still need you to say it." Lin Guangguo extinguished the kerosene lamp and the darkness didn't affect the couple's communication.

"After a few days, Ding Nan and their brothers handle the old house's repairation properly, the married couples lived there before. Regarding Dingding's dowry, it mustn't to do with those imaginary things. Didn't Yan Chu, that child said that he had a wrist watch? The three pieces that were originally prepared for Dingding, to keep a sewing machine, a bicycle and a wrist watch that could be exchanged for money. She was pressed to the bottom of the box and Yan Chu didn't had a parents to help. The married couple who just started to live inevitably there would be a little hard time."

Although Lin Guangguo was a big man, he was very careful and considerate.

"Just like you said, when I married over, my mother gave a pair of gold rings, a pair of earrings, and a gold bracelet. Originally, I thought it will divided after a hundred years later, but Dingding got married. It doesn't look good to have a sewing machine alone, so I'll add a gold bracelet."

Huang Ruhua counted the rest of the family's money. The daughter's dowry was saved early. They had a lot labor and hadn't yet separated. They had also saved a lot of money in these years. It was enough and to spare[14] to have a banquet.

The couple both said the same thing, thinking that their daughter would soon be someone else's home. For the whole night, Thinking about her when she was still a baby, they couldn't go to sleep for a long time.

"Old Yan ah, did your son has sent you another letter?"

For the farm where Yan Xun were located, the most antic.i.p.ated thing for everyone was to receive a letter from Yan Chu. The people here were too lonely. For them, it was no different from the letter they received.

"Yes, ah!"

Yan Xun couldn't stop smiling in his face. Since he received a letter from his son, the whole person was recovered like a newborn. The one who used to be a sullen person was now full of spirits every day. He had a strong heart in his heart. He had to live well and stay alive until the day he saw his son again.

The people on his side were also influenced by him. Every time others heard him read his letter, they thinking that perhaps in another place, their children and loved ones were missing them. Just because they didn't know that they were in this place, they felt that there was hope for living.

"My son is getting married."

Yan Xun was delighted to look at a photo placed in between the letter. He looked at the handsome young man who had a five-point look similar with him and was completely different from the steamed stuffed bun faced baby in his memory. He was very excited, he didn't know what to say.

"Let us take a look."

A group of people listened to Yan Xun's words and immediately came over to see.

"Old Yan, your son is more handsome than you. This your daughter also look beautiful."

"You are blessed, your son married a young woman. I'm afraid that soon you will be able to hold a grandson."

Everyone said brief remark to him. Looking at the smiling little couple on the photo, their eyes were full of envy.

Yan Xun saw his son telling the daughter-in-law's circ.u.mstances in the letter. She wasn't the city girl but the village girl where he live in the rural community. Her temper was cheerful and lively. She was kind and good girl. His son also said that he would liked the girl very much.

They discussed it properly when they built their house, they left one empty room, waiting for him to come home.

He wasn't always the man with the best of family status, not to mention in this current situation, only other people despise him. Yan Xun felt that the girl his son liked had to be a good girl, looking how to happy Lin Dingding at the photo.

"This is the candy sent by my son, so everyone can feel a piece of happiness."

When Yan Xun saw his son's package also had some dry food and candy inside, and gave a handful of it himself to those brothers in hards.h.i.+p[15]. After some thought, he took a handful of them and went to the gatekeeper old man Li, to express his grat.i.tude toward him.

"You are a blessing, and there is always a day when the hard days will end."

Old man Li took the candy and grinning, revealing yellow tooth. Yan Xun's eyes flashed, old man Li never said these words to them, could it be that there is to s.h.i.+ne on? Ignoring the greeting, he went back to the room and discussed the message with his friends.

"Ding——The side mission completion value is 100%, the reward points are 300."

At this time, Yan Chu's whole body was wearing a Liè níng[16] dress, which tied with a big safflower, ready to be a bridegroom.
