Chapter 139 Accident
Seeing Jiang Ci rubbing his eyes frequently, Lin Jingsheng knew that he was sleepy, so he held Jiang Ci in his arms.
Jiang Ci looked back at Lin Jingsheng.
"Aci, go to sleep. We still have a long time to go to your aunt's house."
"Then I'll go to sleep." Jiang Ci leaned relaxedly in Lin Jingsheng's arms.
It was so comfortable to sleep with a human-shaped cushion that Jiang Ci fell asleep in no time.
Waking up again, Jiang Ci got up from Lin Jingsheng's arms and observed the unfamiliar environment.
This is obviously not a town. The road here is a bit bumpy and there are many trees of different heights planted beside it. The shadow of a village can be seen in the distance.
"Where is this?"
Lin Jingsheng tidied up Jiang Ci's messy hair and said, "It's not far after this village."
"It seems I woke up just in time."
Jiang Ci saw Lin Jingxuan lying on Ye Wan's legs and still sleeping.
"Xuanxuan just fell asleep. She really fell asleep at the right time. She fell asleep when it was almost time."
The donkey cart entered the village. This village was a little different from the village near his home.
They planted a lot of trees here. There is a circle of trees outside the walls of the houses. The distance between each household is relatively large, but the houses look relatively old.
The donkey cart turned into a narrower road and stopped in front of a house.
The door was ajar and I couldn't see if there was anyone in the yard.
Lin Jingan got off the donkey cart first and knocked on the door. "Is aunt home?"
A woman's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
When Lin Jing'an opened the door, he saw his aunt walking towards the door with water on her hands.
Lin Qiulan saw Lin Jingan, and then looked back to see that the whole family had arrived. She was extremely happy.
"Oh! They are all here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
He was even more surprised to see Lin Jingsheng, "This is Jingsheng, Jingsheng's injury has healed!"
He pulled Lin Jingsheng to look at it again and again, and seeing that Lin Jingsheng was intact, he kept saying it was good.
"Aunt, this is my husband Jiang Ci."
"You've already got married, why didn't you tell me when this happened?"
"The situation was hasty at the time, so we went straight to the household registration and didn't hold a wedding banquet. I will definitely tell my aunt when I hold the wedding banquet."
Lin Qiulan looked at Jiang Ci several times and exclaimed that this boy was so handsome, the most handsome boy she had ever seen.
"Ci Ge'er is so handsome, you two look really good together."
A voice came from the room, "Is it my uncle who is here?
"Yes, your uncle and his family are here, and Jingsheng is here too."
"Jingsheng is here too!"
Jiang Ci could tell that the person in the room was talking excitedly, but she didn't know why he hadn't come out yet.
Lin Qiulan took them to the main room and said, "You can do whatever you want here."
Then he hurried to the next room.
"What happened to Yanping?"
Ye Wan asked the questions of the people present.
But the answer soon came.
Zhu Yanping was seen leaning on a stick with one hand, while Lin Qiulan was supporting the other half. Looking down, one could see his wrapped calf.
Ye Wan quickly brought a stool to Zhu Yanping, "What happened? How did your leg get hurt?"
"When did you hurt your leg? Was it injured before August 15th? Otherwise, you wouldn't have missed going home."
Lin Shan hit the point home.
"You're right, little brother. We had already bought everything we needed to go home, but something like this happened and we couldn't go."
"Are your bones broken? When will they heal?"
"My leg is broken. It takes a hundred days for the broken bones to heal. This will take at least two or three months."
"You're injured like this?"
Speaking of how Zhu Yanping injured his leg, Lin Qiulan was overwhelmed by the joy of their arrival.
Tell them the whole story.
Two years ago, Zhu Yanping was betrothed to Li Xiu, a girl from a neighboring village, and they said they would get married when they reached marriageable age.
This year Zhu Yanping is nineteen years old and Li Xiu is sixteen years old.
Thinking that we are getting married soon and the house has been there for decades, it is time to renovate it. I will take this opportunity to build another room for our future children to live in.
So he went to the woods over there to cut trees to make beams for the house.
It had rained and the woods were slippery. When I was moving wood outside, I accidentally slipped, and as luck would have it, the wood fell on my leg and broke it.
None of these made Lin Qiulan angry. What made her angry was that the girl's family came to cancel the engagement after hearing that Zhu Yanping's leg was broken.
The doctor said his leg could be cured and would heal in two or three months, but the family still wanted to cancel the engagement.
You have to know that in this dynasty, if two people were engaged, breaking off the engagement would have an impact on the reputation of both parties, and the impact on the girl and the boy would be even greater.
Lin Qiulan and Zhu Zheng certainly couldn't figure it out, so they went to the village to find out the reason.
Later I found out that the girl had fallen in love with a scholar in the town. Judging from the looks of it, it certainly couldn't have happened within a few days after the broken engagement. It's hard to say when they started dating.
Her family insisted on canceling the engagement on the grounds that Zhu Yanping broke his leg and it would be difficult for him to recover.
If nothing happened to Zhu Yanping and they broke off the engagement, the woman's reputation would definitely be more damaged than it is now.
That family got a really good deal.
Now outsiders all think that the girl broke off the engagement because of Zhu Yanping's leg, and many people even say that his leg cannot be healed.
During those days, I heard this every day as soon as I left the house.
After hearing what Lin Qiulan said, everyone frowned.
During the whole process, Zhu Yanping didn't say a word.
At this time, he spoke out to comfort them, "Uncle and aunt, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get hurt. Anyway, I don't have any feelings for that girl. It's better to cancel the engagement with such a person."
Lin Shan frowned and asked, "So let's just let this go?"
Lin Qiulan sighed, "We went to her house and asked them to return the things we sent to her. At first, they were unwilling to do so. After we went to her several times and told them that if they didn't return the things, we would spread the news that their daughter had an affair with a man, they finally agreed.
I have repaid the money bit by bit, but I have not returned the things I gave them back then. I am still angry no matter how I think about it."
Lin Jingan was also very angry when he heard this. "How can there be such a person? He knew that I was engaged but still had an affair with someone else. I would have to find him again and at least make him spit out everything he took."
The main thing is not to make things too awkward.
Lin Jing'an is fourteen or fifteen years old, a time when he has an upright mind and knows a lot about the ways of the world.
Jiang Ci tried to ease the atmosphere, "Let's not talk about this for now. When Jingsheng just came back, I got some medicine that was better for treating his legs. Ah Sheng, don't take the medicine until you finish it. Send it to Yanping tomorrow."
Lin Qiulan was very excited, "It really works so well!"
Zhu Yanping on the side leaned forward, and his mood change could be seen.
Lin Jingsheng also agreed, "The medicine is really effective. After changing the medicine, my legs have visibly improved."
As they were talking at the door, Zhu Zheng was leading his youngest son Zhu Yanfeng back from the fields. The thirteen-year-old boy ran over excitedly, "Uncle and aunt, you are here!"
