Outstanding appearance, elegant conversation, lofty aspirations, and tolerance for his unruly daughter, all of which made Wu Yunzhu satisfied with Lin Chuang, his prospective son-in-law.
Just as he was about to ask Lin Chuang's parents about their arrangements after going to Chongqing, he saw his son entering the door.
"Xiaojian, don't call me by my first name, call me brother!" Wu Yunzhu said.
"Mom, I can see that you and my father are both satisfied with Lin Chuang. Since we are satisfied, we will definitely get engaged. After the engagement, I will call you brother-in-law. What do you call me brother?" Wu Xingjian opened his mouth and said.
"Okay, that makes sense." Tian Jingzhai said with a smile.
Lin Chuang saw some dirt on the tips of Wu Xingjian's shoes and clenched his left fist, and he immediately saw through his intentions.
He couldn't help but frown slightly and thought to himself: "This guy won't stop until I make a fool of myself. Why did he make such a fussy brother-in-law?"
Wu Xingjian moved the mazza and sat on the right side of Lin Chuang. He raised his head and asked: "Lin Chuang, I heard from my sister that you are very good at solving crimes. Dozens of Japanese spies fell into your hands. Is it true?
?”
"Your sister is right, but one thing she didn't tell you is that not only do I have ways to deal with the Japanese, but I also have ways to deal with troublemakers as big as little people." Lin Chuang said with a smile.
"Who are you talking about? Isn't it too rude for you to call someone a troublemaker the first time you come to the door?" Tian Xingjian knew as soon as he heard that Lin Chuang was talking about him, and his eyes widened, and he looked away.
"Tian Xingjian! You kid, stop making trouble, Lin Chuang didn't say anything about you." Tian Biyu shouted.
"Sister, don't protect him, he's just talking about me, and I'm not stupid," Tian Xingjian said.
"Xiao Jian, Lin Chuang is an honored guest, you must not be rude." Tian Jingzhai glared at his son and said.
"Uncle, it's okay, Xiaojian and I are having fun." Lin Chuang said.
Turning around, he said to Tian Xingjian: "You are right, I am talking about you."
"Why do you say that to me?" Tian Xingjian asked, scratching his head.
"The toe of your shoe is stained with dirt, and your left hand becomes a fist? And you sat on my right side specially? Did you mix the mud in the yard? Do you want to smear it on my pants while I'm not paying attention and make me look embarrassed?" Lin Chuang asked.
"You... you are talking nonsense!" Tian Xingjian did not expect that Lin Chuang could see through his little moves at a glance and quickly hid his hands behind his back.
"What are you hiding in your heart? Come on, spread your hands and let everyone see." Lin Chuang raised his chin and said with a smile.
"Tian Xingjian, you are such a bad boy. Come on, spread your hands." Seeing that her younger brother was being questioned by Lin Chuang, Tian Biyu stood up and wanted to run away, so she quickly pressed him on the horse and pulled his left hand away.
Sure enough, a piece of black mud was held in the palm of my hand.
Lin Chuang smiled and said: "I always pay attention to evidence when handling cases? May I ask Comrade Tian Xingjian? What else do you have to say now?"
"I, I...? Hi, actually I just wanted to try you and see what you are capable of. It's OK. It's not bad. You didn't disappoint me." Tian Xingjian stiffened and gave an honest reason.
"Hahaha...!" Tian Jingzhai and Tian Biyu laughed at the same time.
"Xiaojian, have you met your opponent this time? Be more honest from now on." Wu Yunzhu said with a smile.
…
After Tian Xingjian made a fuss, "meeting Xiao Mian", which was originally an extremely serious matter, suddenly became more relaxed, and the relationship between Lin Chuang and Tian's family suddenly became much more harmonious.
Tian Xingjian was unwilling to fail. When he was eating, he secretly put a handful of salt in Lin Chuang's soup. Lin Chuang saw the flaw and quietly changed the bowl with him. As a result, Tian Xingjian "shot himself in the foot."
.
…
The next day, Lin Chuang and Tian Biyu met and exchanged "posts". Lin Chuang and Tian Biyu were considered engaged.
Another day later, all the Tian family and the Lin and Wu families (except Yan Su'e) were sent to Chongqing. Lin Chuang, Wu Liangce, Tian Biyu, and Yan Su'e returned to Tian Biyu's small courtyard.
Zheng Ma made tea, Lin Chuang drank a few sips, and leaned on the sofa tiredly: "It's like seeing you off, I'm so tired."
"I'm a little tired, but it's worth it," Wu Liangce said.
Lin Chuang looked at him, then at Yan Su'e who looked happy, and said: "Yes, you don't have to be afraid of uncle's whip. Xiao'e has been waiting for you for five years, and she has achieved the right result. You are finally married, of course.
It’s worth it. Hey, Fatty, how about Xiaoyu and I celebrate it for you two tonight?”
Wu Liangce has been living with Mrs. Zhao these days, and Xiao'e, the concubine, has not yet consummated her marriage with her sweetheart.
After sending Zhao away today, Xiao'e finally had the opportunity to be with her sweetheart day and night, so Lin Chuang said this.
Yan Su'e blushed and lowered her head in silence.
Wu Liangce glanced at Xiao'e and said cheerfully: "We don't need those false gifts. As long as we are together, we will be very satisfied. Hey, Xiao'e, please work harder. Let's have a son. Let Xiaozhai and Xiaoyu
You two guys, go ahead and get jealous."
Xiao'e was shy, so she hit Wu Liangce and hid behind Wu Liangce with a blushing face.
"No, Xiaoyu, we can't fall behind the fat man. How about we also consummate our marriage today?" Lin Chuang looked at Tian Biyu with a smirk on his face.
"Bah! You're going to die for saying these bastard words." Tian Biyu spat at Lin Chuang directly.
"Hehehehe... Xiaoyu, we are already engaged, what are we afraid of living together?" Lin Chuang said with a smile.
"Engagement is not marriage! Why are you pretending to be stupid?" Tian Biyu said.
In fact, Lin Chuang deliberately teased Tian Biyu.
Of course he understands that this era is still very feudal, and an engagement can only be said to be a marriage contract. The two of them cannot be considered a formal couple. Only by formally obtaining a marriage certificate and having a wedding ceremony can the two consummate their marriage.
In this sense, Lin Chuang really envied the afterlife.
"Well, if you tell me this, I will have to stay in a hotel tonight." Lin Chuang sighed.
"I don't care where I want to live," Tian Biyu said.
"No, Xiaozhai, you still live in your room, Xiao'e and I can live in mine," Wu Liangce said.
"Come on, I'll leave that small courtyard to you. I won't stand in the eyes of some people." Lin Chuang said.
Wu Liangce was stunned and said nothing, suddenly feeling a little reluctant to leave.
For five years, he and Lin Chuang had been living together, and they had become accustomed to serving him. It was really hard to bear to leave suddenly today.
Do brothers have to distance themselves after marrying a daughter-in-law? Will brothers never be so close from now on?
Xiao'e saw that her husband didn't say anything, knowing that he couldn't bear to leave Lin Chuang.
Although we are reluctant to part with each other, there is really no reason to live together.
She has a kind-hearted nature and feels that she cannot let her two lovers leave so far away just because of her arrival.
So he said: "Second brother, don't leave. Fatty and I are going out to find a house. You can stay there. It's more convenient to be close to Sister Yu."
"Xiao'e, there are no outsiders now, so don't call me that, it seems too alienating. You can just call me Xiaozhai. If you really don't want to be called that, just call me Lin Chuang. Don't call me brother, it's too alienating." Lin Chuang said.
.
Yan Su'e has been calling her this way since she found out the identity of Wu Liangce's concubine.
This name is also a modification, because it is now the Republic of China.
If she was in the Qing Dynasty, she would have been called Mr. Wu Liangce, and Lin Chuang would have been called uncle.
