Chapter 142: Marry a Pig or a Dog Rather Than Marry Him
Luyun, Cuiping and Chunlan who came with them were all having a great time and found everything interesting. Seeing them happy, Lin Yuxi was happy too, so she took out a handful of copper coins from her purse and smilingly took them to catch goldfish. This was her specialty when she used to visit temple fairs. The secret lay in her quick eyes and hands. Others threw in countless coins and often couldn't catch a single goldfish, but she could always catch one. The stall owner's face turned black but he didn't dare to say anything.
Naturally, there was no reason for Yang Chenchuan and the others to just stand there, so they picked a stall near them and played target shooting with slingshots. They had all practiced martial arts, so they didn't even need to aim, they hit the target every time. In less than a cup of tea, the stall owner cried and gave them a bunch of things, begging them to leave.
Naturally, no one paid much attention to the small things they won. They just took one or two items for the sake of jackpot, and went out to eat, drink and have fun along the way.
When you are tired of walking around, you can eat two skewers of barbecue, have a bowl of fine noodles, and drink a cup of sour plum soup made with well water. It is still very interesting.
Lin Yuxi turned her head to look at Yang Chenchuan, and seeing that he was smiling brightly, she suddenly wanted to kiss him. She couldn't help but move closer to him and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Yang Chenchuan felt her approaching and was overjoyed. He shook her hand back and wrapped her small hand in his big hand to protect her.
She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she plucked up the courage to stand on tiptoe and gave Yang Chenchuan a kiss on the face.
Yang Chenchuan didn't expect her to be so bold, his face immediately turned red, and he stammered, unable to finish a sentence: "You...you are really..." Shameless, he was reluctant to say this, afraid that she would be angry,
I never got close to him again and swallowed it in one gulp.
She raised her eyebrows and shouted excitedly as if she had discovered a new world: "Husband, you are blushing."
Yang Chenchuan's face turned even redder, and he pretended to hit her. Lin Yuxi understood quickly and hugged his arms, saying coquettishly, "Husband, I'm hungry. There's roasted quail for sale over there. Come on, pay for it. I want to eat it."
Lvyun, who was standing by, took the opportunity to come over and ask for money, saying, "Second Master, I want to eat the vegetarian candy over there, give me two coins too."
Yang Chenchuan raised the corner of his lips and smiled.

Because Zheng Laoshi was beaten, Cuizhu's whole heart was on him. Lin Yuxi knew what she was thinking, so she gave her a few days off so that she could concentrate on taking care of Zheng Laoshi.
Unexpectedly, on the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cuizhu came back crying. Lin Yuxi didn't know what had happened to her, so she asked Lvyun and others to ask her, but Cuizhu just kept crying and kept clenching her teeth and refused to say anything.
Lin Yuxi treated her like a friend, but she couldn't let her be unruly. She was her dowry maid, and she hadn't been seen for a few days, and she came back crying. What would others think? Those who didn't know her would think that she was just a savage and mean maid, so they called her over.
Lin Yuxi looked at her red and swollen eyes and sad expression, and could not help but scold her: "You have always been clever, and you have won my heart. You have followed me for a long time. I treat you like a sister, but you don't tell me anything. I don't know if you have been bullied or by others. Do you think I will let you be bullied and not fight for you?"
Cuizhu's eyes got even redder after hearing this, but she stopped crying. She bit her lip in grievance, glanced at her secretly, then quickly lowered her head, not saying a word.
"But is it for Zheng Laoshi?" Lin Yuxi asked tentatively.
Cuizhu's eyes changed when she heard that, showing a conflicted feeling of love and hate. Lin Yuxi saw it with sharp eyes and thought that it was indeed Zheng Laoshi's.
"Tell me, what happened? If he really bullied you, just tell me. I won't let him off."
Lin Yuxi had already given the guarantee, so Cuizhu began to hesitate. On the one hand, how could a girl like her say this out loud? On the other hand, she was still worried about Zheng Laoshi, and for a moment she was speechless.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yun was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She scolded her fiercely: "Tell me, don't you know what kind of person the young lady is? You have been crying all day long. How can others think of the young lady? The young lady treats you well on weekdays, but you repay her like this and put her in a dilemma. I really misjudged you."
"No, please forgive me, Madam. I never thought so." After hearing Luyun's words, Cuizhu immediately defended herself, but at the end, she hesitated again.
Lin Yuxi was dissatisfied when she saw this. She waved her hand and said coldly: "Forget it, a forced melon is not sweet. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I won't force you. I thought you and Zheng Laoshi had feelings for each other, so I was thinking of being a matchmaker for you..."
Unexpectedly, before Lin Yuxi finished speaking, Cuizhu interrupted her and said angrily: "I would rather marry a pig or a dog than marry him."
She raised her eyebrows. This aroused her curiosity. Even if she couldn't tell 100% of Cuizhu's feelings for Zheng Laoshi, she could at least see 70% of it. On weekdays, he was always calling her "honest brother" and "honest brother" but now he was saying harsh words to her like an enemy. Something must have happened during this period.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cuizhu's face started to burn, but since the topic was brought up, she thought there was no need to hide it any longer, so she told him the whole story.
It turned out that Cuizhu returned to Yingshan City that day, with her mind set on taking care of Zheng Laoshi. However, it was Mid-Autumn Festival, and both of them missed home very much. In addition, Zheng Laoshi's injury had mostly healed, so they decided to go home together to celebrate the festival.
Cuizhu's parents were extremely surprised to see her return home. The Zheng family knew that Cuizhu introduced Zheng Laoshi to this job and they were very grateful. The two families were neighbors and had always had a good relationship. Zheng Laoshi's parents liked Cuizhu very much and had thought about marrying her before.
However, things are unpredictable. Before they could take any action, Cuizhu was sold. Finally, the two of them gave up the idea.
Although their family was poor, they were a respectable family after all and a good man. Zheng Laoshi was also a good man and went to the city to work. He was even more unwilling to marry a slave.
Even if they are willing, their masters may not be willing to let them go.
The two returned home together, and both families were happy. At first, the Zheng family was also very friendly to Cuizhu.
However, women are more delicate in their thoughts. Aunt Zheng soon noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Laoshi. After a careful investigation, she found out that Zheng Laoshi was injured, and her face changed immediately.
How could she have a good son who was capable and intelligent, and worked honestly, and yet he met with misfortune? Zheng Laoshi was the most promising one in the family. Aunt Zheng was heartbroken and blamed her employer for offending someone and causing her son to suffer. She also blamed Cuizhu for introducing him to such a job.
The Zheng family had no idea that Zheng Laoshi's boss was Lin Yuxi, and they cursed Cuizhu in harsh and unpleasant words, saying that it was impossible for a servant like Cuizhu to get a good job, and that it must be that the dishonest master who was plotting to harm her.
Cuizhu knew what kind of person Lin Yuxi was. When she heard others saying bad things about Lin Yuxi, she got angry and started arguing with Aunt Zheng. Both families came to persuade them.
At the end of the argument, Aunt Zheng scolded Cuizhu, saying that the only reason she was so eager to help Zheng Laoshi was because she wanted to marry into the Zheng family. She didn't even look at her own status and thought that a slave was worthy of her son.
She also said that as long as she was alive, she would never let her in, and asked Zheng Laoshi to promise not to provoke Cuizhu again. Zheng Laoshi did not agree at first, but he could not resist Aunt Zheng's threat of death, so he finally agreed.
