Chapter 177 Give Up, Don’t Compete with Big Brother for His Wife
Finally he had the chance to ask the girl where her home was. Dayong was very excited. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually full of anticipation.
Qiao Jian'er, sitting in the front, looked up at the sky when she heard this. Did she say she would escort them to the village entrance? Dayongge acted on his own initiative.
"We live in Lingjia Village. It's not far from the main road, just a three-mile path away." said Mrs. Qiu.
"Are there many families with the surname Ling in your village?" asked Wan.
"Yes, more than half of the families have the surname Ling."
Dayong searched around in the carriage and found a bag of candy and biscuits.
He grabbed a handful and gave it to Qiu, another handful to Ling Yin, and then another handful to Ling Xiao.
Seeing the Qiao family being so generous, the three of them felt a little embarrassed.
"Take it. We can't finish it even if we buy it every day." Mrs. Lu smiled gently.
Qiu was reluctant to eat a piece of cake because she had two children at home, the third child was the older sister and the fourth child was the younger brother.
We rarely buy these snacks at home, and the children look forward to them all year round. Now we have a big handful, which is just right to satisfy the children's appetite.
Ling Yin and Ling Xiao ate two candies, and their eyes lit up unusually, but they couldn't bear to eat any more. They took them home and saved them to eat slowly.
An idea arose in Dayong's mind that if he could marry this girl, he would give her delicious food every day.
Dacheng saw Dayong's eyes sweeping over Ling Yin from time to time, burning and pitying, and seeing how thoughtful his elder brother was in front of him, his heart sank.
The eldest brother also likes Ling Yin, and is more attentive than him.
He never thought that his elder brother would make these things, deliver them to his doorstep, and take out food. Suddenly, a feeling of shame rose in his heart.
Even though he is a rough-handed man, my brother can be so meticulous. He is not worthy of liking a girl now.
Okay, if the eldest brother likes her, then he will fulfill his wish, not cause trouble for him, not put pressure on him, and let him pursue the girl of his dreams without worry.
Don't make it difficult for the girl.
Dacheng was a little sad. He looked at the scenery outside the window and didn't speak for a long time.
The first time he saw Ling Yin, he was obsessed with her. He dreamed of her several times and missed her during the day.
But when they met again, he realized that he didn't even know how to express his kindness to someone.
Fortunately, this was just the beginning. He was just a little moved. It was better to suffer a short pain than a long one. He cut off the idea as soon as possible and everything would be fine in a few days.
"Brother, are you in a bad mood? Have some candy." Ling Xiao peeled a candy and handed it to Dacheng's mouth.
Seeing the child's bright smile, Dacheng's mood also brightened a little and he laughed.
"Brother is in a very good mood, you have it, little brother." He took the candy and put it into Ling Xiao's mouth.
"The intersection ahead is the fork in the road leading to our village." Ling Yin showed everyone the way.
"It's not dark yet, we can just walk back."
"No, it's not dark yet, but it's getting late. I don't feel safe walking you two women and a child on the road. We have to send you to the village entrance." Dayong said firmly.
"Yes, it's just a short distance. The carriage is fast and won't delay us." Qiao Yunni said, "We'll all be acquaintances from now on. There's no need to be so polite."
She could see that Dayong was very interested in this girl named Ling Yin. In that case, she decided to go and take a look at the village.
Others also hurried to comfort the mother and her two children, making them too embarrassed to say anything more.
When they reached the fork in the road, Qiao Jianer drove the carriage there. The road suddenly became much narrower, but it was still wide enough for a carriage to pass through.
Three miles is only one and a half kilometers, which is still very fast.
But Dayong hopes to go slower and slower. He doesn't know when he will be able to ride in the same carriage with Miss Ling Yin.
"Sister Jian'er, take it easy. Don't disturb Aunt Ling and the other two."
The corners of Qiao Jianer's mouth twitched. He clearly didn't want to part so soon, but he blamed her for driving the carriage too fast. He thought she couldn't understand his cousin's little tricks.
Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao San also understood that this guy was probably interested in the girl.
In the past, if you talked about finding wives for their sons, they would turn away with blushing faces. In such a poor family where they had to worry about their next meal, wouldn’t it be unfair to let a girl marry into their family?
But now, things at home are different. When the girl came home, she had meat to eat every meal and nice clothes to wear.
And this girl is indeed good. Qiu seems to be a sincere and easy-going person. Dayong likes Ling Yin, and they all support her.
The carriage turned two corners and the village came into view in the distance.
Lingjia Village is located in a large basin, surrounded by hills, with well-developed ditches and rivers and crisscrossing fields. Looking around, you can see a large area of green and yellow that is about to be harvested, shrouded in the last bit of sunset glow. There is a feeling of tranquility and peace, and the fragrance of rice wafts over, refreshing the heart.
It seems that this village has about a hundred households and is quite large.
As they were about to reach the village entrance, Dayong found a cloth bag and poured half of the candy and cakes into it.
Then put it in the basket that Ling Yin was carrying.
"Take this back and eat it."
"Oh, how can this be? Take it back quickly. We have already been given so much." Although Ling Yin loves snacks, she also knows that she should not take too much from others.
"Take it. It's just a snack. My family doesn't really like it. It will expire if left out for too long."
Dayong felt a little unnatural when he said this.
Da Meng and Xiao Meng were also speechless. Who doesn't like snacks? They have been eating snacks since they were little, but it was only this month that they achieved snack freedom.
In order to pursue the girl, my brother ignored all the rules.
Seeing that he was determined, Ling Yin had no choice but to accept it, but she would not accept it for nothing.
The carriage stopped at the village intersection and the family of three got off.
Qiu took out copper coins to pay, but the Qiao family refused to accept them.
"Thank you, thank you so much. Let's go to my house for dinner, stay one night, and go back tomorrow morning." Qiu held the hands of Wan and Lu. They almost couldn't come back today.
If you want to stay overnight in the county, the accommodation fee is very expensive.
Not only is he back now, but he doesn’t even ask for money.
"No, sister. The food is ready for us at home. Besides, we are doing business. If we stay overnight at your place, it will be difficult to prepare it tomorrow morning." Wan patted the back of her hand.
"We feel relieved after sending you here. It's getting dark, so please be careful when you walk."
After a good farewell, everyone parted ways.
Ling Yin subconsciously glanced at Dayong and found that Dayong was also looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.
Her heart was in turmoil, and she quickened her pace, carrying the basket.
Qiao Lian'er turned the carriage around, and since Da Meng wanted to drive, she handed the reins to him.
"Dayong, just tell your second uncle if you want to marry the girl from the Ling family?" Qiao Laoer patted Dayong's shoulder.
