    Chapter 15 Question: What should I do if they insist on finding me a partner? Waiting online, it’s quite urgent.

    Yun Qi was thinking about what Lin Yan had just said all the way. He wanted to ask Lin Yan if what he said was true, and to tell Lin Yan that he could do what Lin Yan said, then maybe he could…

    Could do what?

    Could he be forgiven for his lies?

    Could he… stop, stop.

    Yun Qi shook his head, shaking off those increasingly outrageous thoughts. He cleared his throat, thinking of a topic to bring up.

    Lin Yan and Yun Qi were on the same wavelength. He took a cake from under the package and placed it in front of Yun Qi: “Little Yun Qi, don’t be unhappy, here…”

    Before Lin Yan could finish speaking, a vendor popped out of nowhere.

    “Brother Lin, Brother Lin.” The vendor pointed to the cake in Yun Qi’s hand, fumbling to take out silver from his pocket, “I’ll offer one tael, no, three taels of silver.”

    Of course, a piece of cake couldn’t be bought for three taels of silver. Lin Yan was a businessman, and there was no reason not to agree. Yun Qi opened his mouth, then closed it again, and reluctantly handed the cake to the man.

    Lin Yan took the cake from Yun Qi’s hand and stuffed it back into Yun Qi’s mouth. Yun Qi froze, the sweetness spreading to his chest. He gave the vendor a smug look, slowly savoring the fruits of victory.

    Lin Yan licked the cream off his fingers and spread his hands out at the man: “It’s gone.”

    The vendor took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his chest… but couldn’t suppress it at all.

    Anyway, Lin Yan had already offended Master Zhang, so might as well…

    Just as the vendor was about to make trouble, he met Yun Qi’s eyes. The look of a superior made him shiver involuntarily.

    “You… you’re really something.” The vendor left a harsh word and fled in embarrassment.

    The first time Lin Yan went to Town, he bought a lot of novel little things, but these two times he had almost come back empty-handed, leaving only empty money.

    As soon as the donkey cart arrived at the village entrance, Sister-in-law Lin (Second) came out. She blocked the front of the cart and patted the head of the little gray donkey: “Yan Ge’er, back from the market?”

    “Sister-in-law Lin (Second).” Lin Yan calmed the donkey that wanted to kick and forced a smile, “What’s the matter?”

    Sister-in-law Lin (Second) glanced at the empty cart and frowned slightly. She clicked her tongue lightly and changed her face at the speed of a Sichuan opera mask, putting on a smile: “Didn’t buy anything today? Is the family…”

    Lin Yan played with the hair on the little gray donkey’s head, casually perfunctorily: “Nothing to buy.”

    “That’s right.” Sister-in-law Lin (Second) waved her hand, scaring the little donkey so much that it almost bucked. Lin Yan’s face became increasingly ugly. But Sister-in-law Lin (Second) seemed not to see Lin Yan’s unkind gaze and continued to nag, “When living life, you have to be thrifty.”

    Lin Yan was most annoyed by those fatherly pronouncements like “You should do this at this age.” “Who hasn’t gone through this?” “When you reach this age…” He was already in a bad mood today, and now he had even less desire to deal with Sister-in-law Lin (Second).

    Unfortunately, more than 20 years of education had engraved good manners into Lin Yan’s DNA. Even if he was impatient, he reluctantlymaintained politeness. He cupped his hands at Sister-in-law Lin (Second): “If you don’t have anything else…”

    “How could I not have anything?” Sister-in-law Lin (Second) waved her handkerchief and covered her mouth with her hand, “I’m here to introduce you to a marriage prospect.”

    He hadn’t seen anyone pushing marriage for three months, and now a group of them came at once.

    Lin Yan sighed and pulled Yun Qi over: “Sister-in-law Lin (Second), you also know, I…”

    “Hey, you can fool others with that, but I know you.” Sister-in-law Lin (Second) went to touch Yun Qi like touching a donkey. She wasn’t annoyed when Yun Qi pushed her hand away, but instead sized Yun Qi up and down.

    Yun Qi was well taken care of by Lin Yan. In three months, he had grown taller and stronger. It’s just that not everyone is as naturally gifted as Lin Yan. Yun Qi had been Soaking exposed to the sun for eighty days and turned a healthy wheat color. Even with Lin Yan’s Yunnan black medicine, the wound still left a scar.

    Sister-in-law Lin (Second) nodded, becoming more certain of her judgment. She lowered her voice a little and smiled: “You’re raising Xiao Qi as a younger brother, that child bride… saying it’s a child bride, it’s just so you can divorce later and give Xiao Qi a good status. I understand.”

    Lin Yan didn’t refute, but Yun Qi’s hand quietly clenched, and his gaze towards Sister-in-law Lin (Second) became increasingly unkind.

    “Look at you, you’re not young anymore, and your appearance is delicate and pretty. Although…” Sister-in-law Lin (Second) pointed at her nose and then shook her head at Lin Yan’s short hair, continuing to nag, “The location isn’t great, and you’re a bit young and ignorant. But your hair will grow back, and you’re capable and can earn money. Those are all small things.”

    Lin Yan really couldn’t understand. He had told these people countless times that he wasn’t a Ge’er, so why couldn’t they listen? Even if his household registration said he was a Ge’er, he was a “married” Ge’er, and his husband was sitting right next to him.

    Lin Yan’s hand shook into a blur: “Sister-in-law Lin (Second), if you don’t have…”

    “Oh dear, your skin is so good.” Sister-in-law Lin (Second) reached out to touch Lin Yan’s face, and Yun Qi suddenly squeezed in, defensively standing between the two.

    Lin Yan then realized that Yun Qi had grown taller and stronger. When he first came, he was still half a head shorter than him, but now he was as tall as him.

    Sister-in-law Lin (Second) wearily withdrew her hand and shook her handkerchief: “Oh dear, Xiao Qi is still young, so there’s no rush.”

    Yun Qi retorted: “Brother isn’t in a rush either.”

    “How can you not be in a rush? Your brother is already twenty-three years old, other people’s children are running all over the place.” Sister-in-law Lin (Second) pushed Yun Qi aside and pointed to the village entrance, “Lin Dazhuang at the village entrance has liked you for a long time. His mother is the kindest…”

    Yun Qi directly interrupted her spellcasting, “Lin Dazhuang’s mother is kind? She was called ‘Hot Pepper’ when she was young. When Grandpa Lin was still alive, she chased him all over the village. Who doesn’t know about that?”

    Sister-in-law Lin (Second) coughed awkwardly and took out a portrait from her sleeve: “Then take a look at this one, Lin Ergou from the east of the village…”

    Yun Qi blocked the portrait back: “Good-for-nothing, drinks and gambles, and was chased for debts a few days ago.”

    “Lin Sanpang…”

    “Pointy mouth and monkey cheeks, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and recently addicted to Hanshisan, I estimate…”

    “Lin Erni…”

    “Pulmonary tuberculosis, broke a leg a few days ago, maybe…”

    Sister-in-law Lin (Second) couldn’t bear it any longer and threw the handkerchief on Yun Qi’s face: “You dead child, how can you…”

    Lin Yan threw the handkerchief back, kicked the little donkey, and the little donkey ran home in a very cooperative manner.

    After a cloud of dust, only Lin Yan’s hasty excuse was left in the wind: “The cat at home laid an egg, I’m going back to see if it’s male or female.”

    Yun Qi was sulking all the way, his mouth pouted so much that an oil pot could hang on it. Lin Yan pinched his face: “What’s wrong with you today?”

    Yun Qi avoided answering: “Didn’t brother transmigrate? How are these people so familiar with brother?”

    “Them…” Lin Yan stretched lazily and explained wearily, “It’s all arranged by the system.”

    Yun Qi nodded, casually said “Oh,” and was still unhappy.

    The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lin Yan coughed lightly and thought of a topic at random: “What do you want to eat tonight?”

    At the same time as this sentence, Yun Qi also slowly opened his mouth. He pointed north and said softly, “Brother, let’s go to Capital City to play.”
