Chapter two hundred and eighty first bully snatching people
Ye Xier didn't dare to sleep in the online game "Wu Shuang" without Lin Yan sleeping first.
Although she knew that Lin Yan was not that kind of person through previous interactions, she always felt a little uneasy if she fell asleep in front of a man.
After chatting, Lin Yan looked up and saw Ye Xi'er's tired face. Then he remembered that he was too careless and said apologetically: "Miss Ye, I forced you to chat with me. I forgot that you need to rest." Already."
Immediately, Lin Yan spread a quilt that he usually used to keep out the cold on the ground, and said: "Put half of it under you and cover it with one side. With this fire, it shouldn't be cold."
Ye Xier knew that there must be only one quilt, but Lin Yan gave it to her without hesitation, which made her feel touched.
But, let her sleep in front of Lin Yan?
Although she was already twenty-nine years old and still a young woman, she could not overcome the obstacles in her heart.
"Miss Ye, are you worried that Mr. Lin will molest you while you are asleep?" Lin Yan joked.
Ye Xi'er's pretty face turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Shaoxia Lin, please don't misunderstand me."
Ye Xi'er knew that Lin Yan would not do that kind of thing.
"Don't worry, Miss Ye. Although you will definitely not be used to being in the same room, the reality is this. You don't have to let those things constrain you too much." Lin Yan reminded.
Ye Xi'er could only say nonchalantly: "Then Young Master Lin, can you avoid it for a while?"
Lin Yan looked at the thick clothes Ye Xi'er was wearing, understood, and immediately walked out of the cave, saying as he walked: "Miss Ye, sleep against this fire to feel warm."
Ye Xi'er's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I know, thank you Young Master Lin for the reminder."
Seeing Lin Yan leaving the cave, Ye Xi'er quickly lay down on the quilt, rolled up the other half, and wrapped it tightly around her body.
Of course, Ye Xi'er didn't take off any clothes.
Wrapped in quilt and lit by a warm fire, Ye Xi'er felt her body immediately warmed up a lot, but her body was still tense and did not relax.
After all, this was the first time in eight years that she was in the same room with a man other than her husband, and a man she had just met. It was understandable that she would be nervous.
About five minutes later, thinking that Ye Xi'er should have fallen asleep, Lin Yan re-entered the cave.
After taking a brief glance at the slim figure under the quilt, Lin Yan immediately left his sight.
Ye Xi'er just took off a pair of boots, and Lin Yan naturally saw that he was the all-round master on campus.
Lin Yan had a headache.
Because in order not to make Ye Xi'er feel embarrassed, he had to carefully pay attention to his behavior. For example, where to sit next to the fire has become a problem that troubles him.
Any position next to the sleeping fire would either be facing Ye Xi'er or too close to Ye Xi'er's body. It is estimated that if he sat down like this, Ye Xi'er would definitely not be able to sleep all night even if she was embarrassed to object. good.
"Hey, ethics can be very harmful to people sometimes." Lin Yan sighed in his heart.
But Lin Yan also knew that Ye Xi'er was a very traditional woman, and he would definitely not be able to change her.
At this time, Ye Xi'er poked her head out of the quilt and said to Lin Yan: "Young Master Lin, aren't you still asleep?"
In fact, Ye Xi'er also wanted Lin Yan to sleep next to the fire, but she really couldn't say it.
"Wait a moment, I'll go outside and walk around to prevent the beast from breaking in."
Lin Yan didn't want Ye Xi'er to feel embarrassed, so he hurried out of the cave.
"Young Master Lin, actually, you are sleeping next to me."
Ye Xi'er couldn't bear Lin Yan being cold outside, so she finally summoned up the courage and whispered.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'll go outside and take a look first."
The temperature generated by the burning of the inner elixir was very high, and with the quilt wrapped around her body, Ye Xi'er felt that her body was getting warmer and warmer. After the sleepiness came out, she quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Xier opened her eyes early in the morning.
Then she found something pressing on her calf.
Ye Xi'er sat up and found Lin Yan's body lying on the ground, with his head sleeping on her calf through the quilt.
Ye Xier suddenly became embarrassed.
She knew that Lin Yan had no bad thoughts, but her calves were used as pillows by Lin Yan. She wanted to pull her calves out, but she was worried about waking up Lin Yan. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Lin Yan woke up at this time.
Seeing his head resting on Ye Xi'er's calf, Lin Yan didn't feel that it was very embarrassing. He stood up naturally and asked, "Miss Ye, how did you sleep last night?"
Ye Xi'er smiled, nodded, and said, "Well, I slept well."
Only then did Ye Xier feel that the atmosphere was no longer awkward.
After breakfast, the two continued on their way.
Two days later, the two finally walked out of the snowy plateau.
Seeing that Ye Xi'er had been safely returned to Tiandi City, Lin Yan felt relieved and prepared to say goodbye to Ye Xi'er and return the scriptures to Dayin Temple and Jinghangzhai first.
Ye Xi'er said: "Young Master Lin, you saved my life and helped me so much. My mother-in-law and I have nothing to repay. If you don't mind, can you go to Liu's house and let me and I My mother-in-law can also show her kindness as a landlord."
Unable to bear to lose Ye Xi'er's face, Lin Yan nodded and agreed.
When passing by the "SF Express" bank, Lin Yan came forward and exchanged a silver note for 500 taels of gold. He then exchanged the remaining 9,500 taels for a small silver note of 500 denomination, and then went to the drugstore to buy it. After buying some medicinal materials for treating tuberculosis, he walked towards Liu's house.
In order not to embarrass Ye Xi'er and avoid being gossiped about by idlers, Lin Yan deliberately pretended to be a guard and was always five or six meters away from Ye Xi'er.
Ye Xier was very moved.
The closer you get to home, the deeper this feeling becomes.
Because Lin Yan really thought about her.
As a widow, she was afraid of gossip in front of others and did not want her mother-in-law to be offended, so she had always been very cautious when interacting with strange men.
Soon, a building with probably only three or four rooms came into Lin Yan's sight.
Since Ye Xi'er's father-in-law failed in business five years ago, the Liu family's financial situation has plummeted. In addition, Ye Xi'er's mother-in-law suffers from tuberculosis, and the treatment is basically a bottomless pit, which costs a lot of money. Now, even those gathered in private houses In a general residential area, this house is also rented.
One can imagine how much effort Ye Xi'er put in to make ends meet as her family was backward.
"Young Master Lin, my family is a little shabby, so please don't mind." Ye Xi'er said as she quickened her pace, obviously missing her mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, when she and Lin Yan stepped into the back of the house one after another, they saw several people standing in the narrow courtyard.
As soon as he saw Ye Xi'er walking in, the leading man among the people immediately smiled and said to the skinny old man opposite: "Old Mrs. Liu, now that your wife is back, you have nothing to say. Should I Can I ask you to fulfill your promise?"
After saying that, the middle-aged man with a hooked nose and thick beard raised a piece of white paper with black writing on it.
"Xier, you shouldn't have come back!"
The skinny old man was obviously Ye Xier's mother-in-law, but the first words she said made people feel very strange.
Ye Xi'er looked at the malicious people in front of her with disgust, hurriedly ran to the skinny old man, and said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, what happened?"
The hook-nosed man said first, "Ye Xi'er, let me ask you, is your family already in arrears with four months' rent?"
"Yes. But I promised to pay it off soon. Isn't it too much for you to come and embarrass my mother-in-law?" Ye Xi'er looked sullen. It was obvious that her mother-in-law had been bullied, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
The hook-nosed man smiled proudly, and then said unhurriedly: "It's not that we are overdoing it, but it's natural to pay back debts."
Ye Xi'er stared at the hook-nosed man with disgust, then took out the gold left after buying the medicine, and said: "Four months, ten taels of gold every month, a total of forty taels, here you go."
Unexpectedly, the hook-nosed man did not accept it. He first looked at the money bag that Ye Xi'er took out. After realizing that there was only four hundred taels of gold in it, he sneered: "It's not forty taels, but one thousand and fourteen taels." One hundred taels."
Mother Liu next to her became angry and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhang Dakuang, you have no conscience, you actually framed us like this!"
Mother Liu was agitated and coughing violently. It was obvious that her tuberculosis was very serious.
Ye Xi'er on the side hurriedly patted her mother-in-law on the back to help her calm down.
"Don't go too far. The rent is obviously forty taels, why is it now one thousand four hundred taels?"
Ye Xi'er questioned Zhang Dakuang.
Zhang Dakuang raised the paper in his hand again and said proudly: "It is clearly written on it. Starting from the second month of rent arrears, if the rent is not paid on time, the amount owed will double. So from the second month to now, according to the agreed interest, the rent has indeed reached one thousand four hundred taels."
"However, it is also stated on it that if you cannot pay all the rent in one lump sum after the fourth month, Ye Xi'er will voluntarily come into my Zhang Mansion to be my personal maid, Zhang Da Kuang, and will do everything under Zhang Da Kuang's orders. Never resist, never regret."
After Zhang Dakuang finished speaking, he did not forget to say to Ye Xi'er: "You might as well take a closer look. This piece of paper has your mother-in-law's fingerprints on it. You can't help but deny it!"
"This is obviously what you made up!"
Ye Xier was so angry that her whole body trembled.
She never thought that Zhang Da Kuang would be so shameless and actually make a fuss about her rent arrears. In the end, she turned herself into a commodity and asked her to serve as Zhang Da Kuang's maid!
Zhang Dakuang chuckled, pointed to the last place on the paper and said: "Ye Xi'er, you can see clearly, this is the fingerprint of your mother-in-law! With this agreement, I can make sense wherever I go. Are you afraid that you won’t admit it?”
"If you can't hand over one thousand four hundred taels of gold today, then I will have to take you away!"
Zhang Dakuang and the three people behind Zhang Dakuang all laughed proudly, because they were sure that Ye Xier would not be able to pay off the one thousand four hundred taels of gold.
"Zhang Da Kuang, you are so shameless. This is the fingerprint you forced on my hand yesterday!"
Liu's mother's words revealed Zhang Da Kuang's wild ambitions.
But it was clear that Zhang Da Kuang was just using this excuse to cause trouble, so he said carelessly: "Mrs. Liu, please be careful what you say. What do you mean I'm forcing you to put your fingerprints on? What evidence do you have? On the contrary, I have this As long as the paper is here, I won't be afraid of you denying it! Ye Xi'er, the words on the paper are clear and every sentence is written clearly. If you can't pay the full amount, then I will have to use you to pay off the debt."
"Someone, take Ye Xi'er away!"
Zhang Dakuang waved his hand behind him.
Three tall and fierce men immediately surrounded Ye Xi'er.
