"Brother, you robbed a bank."
Lin Zhendong's sister Lin Zhenhong looked at these clothes and said: "Heilan House, Semir, wow, the down jacket is from Xuechi. It's a lot of money for you to buy them all."
Lin Zhendong's younger brother Lin Zhenfang also said: "Brother, what are you doing?"
In comparison, Lin's father and Lin's mother looked at Lin Zhendong with some worry.
"Dongzi, what's going on? We can't do anything illegal."
A look of panic appeared on Mother Lin's face: "We must take the right path."
"Yes, Dongzi, your mother is right, you..."
Father Lin was also thinking about what to say at this time.
"Father, mother, and Xiaohong, Xiaofang, where did you want to go?"
Lin Zhendong said with a bit of a wry smile: "Besides, do you really think that you can make money just lying around if you follow the wrong path? Now it's a scam. Do you know that you have to be technical?"
Mother Lin was stunned: "Then what are you doing?"
"Didn't I say it before? I've been writing, and I just made some money from my last book. I also ran insurance part-time privately, and I just happened to make a few orders, and that's when I made money."
Lin Zhendong gave a rough explanation.
Anyway, my parents don’t understand the matter, so I just need to convince them.
There is no need to talk to my sister and brother.
Father Lin was a little shocked: "How can you make money by writing like this?"
"Of course you make money, dad. Some people earn several houses a year."
There was no need for Lin Zhendong to explain. Lin Zhenhong and Lin Zhenfang, who often read online articles, helped explain.
After all, in the past two years, China Literature Group’s external publicity has been getting bigger and bigger, and the advertisements for the IP Festival every year are quite tough. In the past, Wubai was invited to Mango Channel’s Happy Camp and Tiantian Xiangxiang.
Not to mention that now there are often great experts going around giving lectures and doing various promotional activities.
Yuewen has begun to pay more and more attention to the image and management of Platinum and great masters, so for two people like Lin Zhenhong and Lin Zhenfang, of course they also understand online articles.
Although the two of them watched pirated copies.
Of course, one good thing about online articles is that at least there is no fandom culture yet.
"Okay, let's try on the clothes first to see if they fit properly?"
Lin Zhendong shook his head and said: "Try them all on. If it suits us, we will wear them together on the wedding day."
"Dongzi, I think these clothes are too much, so I might as well return them."
Mother Lin said still feeling a little distressed.
"Mom, we are having an event here, and we don't have much money. Your down jacket only costs 100 yuan. You should try it on quickly."
Lin Zhendong said: "Besides, the clothes used for events will not be returned."
Just two points when buying clothes for the elderly.
First, it is cheap to talk to death.
Second, he said that he would not return the purchase.
No, once she heard about the discount, she refused to give up. Mother Lin said nothing and started to try on down jackets. Not to mention, Lin Zhendong bought a pink one for his mother, and she felt younger wearing it. .
"Is this color too bright?"
Mother Lin felt a little embarrassed when she put it on: "I am already my age and I am wearing young people's clothes?"
"Mom, I think it's just right. Besides, you're not old to begin with."
Lin Zhenhong took Mother Lin's hand and said, "She's very pretty. Dad, do you think my mother is pretty?"
"Haha, it looks good, it looks good."
Father Lin laughed.
Lin Zhendong knows the clothes worn by his parents and younger siblings very well, so the clothes he bought this time are all suitable.
Okay, I tried on the clothes, and then Mother Lin went to cook.
After all, I have to go to the uncle’s house soon to help.
"Dad, come here, let me tell you something."
Lin Zhendong whispered to his father.
"How much money does our family still owe uncle?"
Lin Zhendong and his father came to the east room and asked.
Father Lin sighed and said, "I don't owe a penny anymore. I paid back everything from the previous period."
"kindness?"
Lin Zhendong was stunned.
Lin's father said: "The wedding gift for Xiaohai this time is 280,000 yuan, and they want a car of more than 100,000 yuan. Your uncle's family has spent all the money. Your uncle and your aunt also came up with some money, and your uncle borrowed it." After checking it all, although he didn’t ask us for it, I still found someone else to return the money to him.”
"oh."
Lin Zhendong nodded lightly, then took out the China Construction Bank card from his arms and said: "Dad, there are more than 130,000 yuan in this card. Who do we owe? You pay back first, and then 10,000 yuan. Don't let my mother catch you again." Those are the home remedies. Go to the hospital for a check-up. We will follow the doctor’s instructions and get the medicine..."
Listening to what his son said, Father Lin was in a state of shock.
130,000 in the card?
>
Plus the money to buy clothes?
How much does it cost? ? ?
For a moment, Father Lin almost felt that his son had robbed a bank.
"Writing...makes money like this??"
Father Lin said in disbelief: "Dongzi, please don't lie to me."
"Dad, you still don't know what your son is like."
Lin Zhendong smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is indeed what I wrote for the extra insurance. Don't you have a bill? How much does our family still owe to the outside world?"
"If you add this money, it will be almost enough."
Father Lin said: "The main reason is that your mother spent a lot of money during the two years when she was suddenly hospitalized."
Lin Zhendong nodded lightly: "Okay, just pay back what you have to pay. If it's not enough, you can tell me again, but Dad, why is Xiaohai so rich?"
"Not much. At first, people asked for 400,000."
Father Lin sighed and said, "This is still the matchmaker who has been making peace in the middle."
"Make peace? I think it's the matchmaker who keeps stirring things up in the middle."
Lin Zhendong said disapprovingly.
He knew the success of these matchmakers.
Usually both ends are eaten.
Even the high betrothal gift in their county has a lot to do with the promotion of matchmakers.
In the past few years, house prices in Dan City have soared rapidly, but the bride price has been even greater.
What you want at the beginning is 'motionless'. If it moves, it means a car, if it doesn't move, it means a house.
In addition to this is the gift money.
At the beginning, it cost three pounds and three taels on the basis of "not moving", which was about 150,000 yuan.
Later, due to the extremely competitive blind date market, it became a riot of colors.
Wanzi refers to ten thousand 5-yuan purple money, which is 50,000.
Qianhong refers to a thousand pieces of 100 yuan red money, which is 100,000.
A patch of green refers to 666 50-yuan green coins, which is 33,300.
This adds up to more than 180,000.
Later, the bride price no longer had a name, just a number.
200,000?
300000? ?
400000? ? ?
Anyway, the one with the highest price gets it.
"Okay, it's a good thing to have a wife. After all, Xiaohai has two sisters to help him, so the pressure on your uncle is less."
Father Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Eat quickly and go to help after dinner."
Fine.
Lin Zhendong stopped talking.
Indeed, as the youngest son and the only son of the uncle's family, the two daughters of the uncle's family will definitely get money.
Youdao means that the world is big and the brothers are the biggest.
This is what we often call the "supporting brother demon".
I would rather eat chaff and have diarrhea than get a wife for my brother.
Lin Hai's two sisters, Lin Yun and Lin Yu, have been married for many years, and their betrothal gifts were not so perverted at that time.
After eating, Lin Zhendong and his family came to Lin Hai's house.
"When did Dongzi come back?"
Aunt Lin Qingyi was instructing people to post the word "hi" when she saw Lin Zhendong and said: "You don't even say a word, let your brother drive to pick you up."
"Come back at noon."
Lin Zhendong smiled and said: "My brother is so busy, so I won't bother him."
"Oh, yes, your brother is busy."
Lin Qingyi sighed: "Your brother has to write materials every day at the County Education Bureau, and..."
Lin Zhendong smiled politely and said nothing.
His aunt is like this, a typical child-showing madman. Fortunately, she didn’t have WeChat when she was young, otherwise she might even post on WeChat Moments when her son poops: “My son’s poop is so different.”
The most important thing is that this aunt's family is obviously rich, but she is never willing to lend it out. When her mother was ill, this aunt only took out 2,000 yuan, saying that her family had no money now.
As a result, the next year, she paid a down payment to buy an apartment in the county town.
Lin Zhendong didn't want any moral kidnapping. The problem was that if you didn't want to pay, forget it. He just acted like my brother is so good to me. I must take care of whatever happens in the future. I will definitely take care of whatever happens to my sister-in-law in the future.
Not only that, but he also looked like he was taking care of himself in front of his relatives.
Then there will be various reasons when he needs her later.
Lin Zhendong talked to his father several times.
But it didn't work.
My father always said that your mother-in-law is like this, but her heart is not bad.
There is really nothing to say.
For this reason, Lin Zhendong has kept a distance from his aunt in the past few years.
Seeing what Lin Qingyi wanted to say, Lin Zhendong walked directly into the room: "Xiao Hai."
Weddings in the village generally have the same layout.
Paste the word 'Happy'.
Post 'Couplet'
Install lanterns.
Then blow the balloon.
At the same time, there should be some paintings beside the bed. These paintings are all of children with naked bellies (that is, naked bodies), which means giving birth to a child early.
Other than that, it’s just a matter of looking at where the wedding photos will look best.
Inside the room, Lin Hai’s classmates were all helping.
"Brother, you are back."
Lin Hai just heard Lin Zhendong's voice, so he walked out of the back room: "When did you come back? Why don't you tell me and I will pick you up."
"Did you take your driver's license test?"
Lin Zhendong asked with a smile.
"I haven't taken the test yet, but Lin Bao and the others can drive, so I can let them go together..."
Lin Hai wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Lin Zhendong: "Okay, what else do you need to do now?"
"I just need to decorate my room and the main room, and then hang a few circles of balloons. As you can see outside, I need to hang some small colorful flags..."
Lin Hai said: "We don't need anything else. By the way, brother, you will be my best man on the day we get married."
"Okay, I know."
Lin Zhendong nodded lightly.
After all, the groomsmen needed to be unmarried. In the village, everyone from Lin Hai's side or slightly older than Lin Hai was married.
Only two classmates are not married.
But the best man is more lively.
What's more, Lin Zhendong is his brother, so he can naturally greet him when the time comes.
Time flies.
In a few days, the wedding is getting closer and closer.
Opera is played from the loudspeakers every day.
Today I will play "Entering the Sedan Chair".
"Chaoyanggou" will be played tomorrow.
Come back to "Recruiting Jiang Wei" the day after tomorrow.
Anyway, the opera is played over and over again. This is also a custom in the countryside. Basically, those who get married will play the opera with a loudspeaker to tell the folks in the village that my son is getting married.
On January 16, at 2:32 pm, Lin Zhendong met Lin Hai’s wife, or soon to be Lin Hai’s wife, for the first time.
She seems to be a pretty quiet girl.
His name is Zhao Ya, and he is the same age as Lin Hai.
"Yaya, what do you think of this arrangement? If you are dissatisfied with anything, just tell us that we can still change it."
Lin Hai's mother smiled at Zhao Ya and said.
"It's fine, I don't have any objections."
Zhao Ya's face didn't look so good, as if he had a forced smile: "That's it, I'll go back first."
"Okay, Xiaohai, what are you doing? Send Xiaoya back."
Lin Hai's mother looked at her son's stupidity and said loudly.
"No need, I'm riding the tram myself."
"It's okay, I'm okay, let's go, I'll take you back."
…
After Lin Hai and Zhao Ya left, Lin Hai's mother said a little worriedly: "Why do you feel that Zhao Ya is unhappy? Nothing will happen."
An aunt in my family said: "What can happen? We are getting married tomorrow and we have given everything."
"That's right, mother Xiaohai, you are going to be a mother-in-law. You must be excited about this."
"That's right, let's wash the dishes and prepare things quickly."
…
The other aunties all said one after another.
It is normal to encounter strange things when getting married in rural areas.
For example, asking for money before getting married.
One of his friends was like this. On the day of their wedding, the bride asked for 10,000 yuan and wouldn't get off until she got 10,000 yuan. Then his friend also had a temper and refused to marry him.
And there are those who make requests.
Yes, let me tell you why Zhao Ya came here the first day.
This is also a custom in rural areas. The bride comes here to visit her house on the first day, and the groom gives some money by the way.
This money is up to you.
Basically starting at 1,000.
An hour later, Lin Hai came back.
Lin Zhendong pulled him aside: "Did you send Zhao Ya home?"
"Well, she didn't let me send it, but I still sent her home."
Lin Hai nodded and said.
Lin Zhendong asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Huh? Something's wrong? Nothing."
Lin Hai shook his head and said.
"Okay, let's continue packing."
Lin Zhendong said nothing more.
Getting married tomorrow.
He thought nothing would happen.
Besides, the elders are all here, so if anything happens, it's not Lin Zhendong's turn to say anything.
The next day, January 17, Lin Zhendong got up early. He and his brother Lin Zhenfang mainly came to escort him today.
The two people's mission is to prevent Lin Hai from being tortured.
"Brother, you have to protect me."
Lin Hai said: "When you get to his house later, you have to hold back if he drinks."
"Okay, don't worry."
Lin Zhendong smiled and said, "Just welcome your bride happily today."
At 8 o'clock, everything was ready, and the wedding car came to the front. This wedding car was a BMW. Lin Zhendong, Lin Hai, and Lin Zhenfang were sitting in the car.
Others are responsible for setting off firecrackers.
Usually when you walk around a corner or pass a temple, you will set off firecrackers.
"Don't be nervous, relax."
Lin Zhendong looked at Lin Hai who was a little nervous in the car and said, "Don't worry, no one will make trouble with you, and I won't let anyone make trouble."
In the past two years, there have been fewer cases of malicious marriages, but there are also cases in surrounding villages.
The groom was asked to climb a telephone pole halfway, and then he even had to strip off his clothes to just his underwear, and then did all kinds of things.
As for the bride and the bridesmaids, there are even more pranks.
Last year, a bride in the village next to theirs was suffocated to death while making trouble.
As for the bridesmaids, they made all kinds of noise, which in Lin Zhendong's eyes was almost like obscenity, and some even took off their pants.
Yesterday, Lin Zhendong made it clear.
No one is allowed to make trouble.
He can't take care of other things, and it's not his junior's turn to take care of it, but he must take care of this.
When we arrived at Zhao Ya's house, a table of food had been prepared.
As the best man, Lin Zhendong escorted the groom Lin Hai and opened the door after handing out red envelopes, and then was responsible for finding the bride's shoes.
A lot of fuss.
Then Lin Zhendong drank a few glasses of wine with the bride's people outside.
After an hour of this, the wedding was considered successful and the couple returned.
Because we didn’t go to a hotel, we just held it in our hometown. We arranged it and invited a master of ceremonies to host it. As it happened, many people in the village came to watch.
Everything went smoothly, but something suddenly happened when the ceremony was being held.
"Zhao Ya, who are you marrying?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared in the crowd.
This suddenly made everyone present a little confused.
On the stage, Zhao Ya had a look of panic on his face.
In the audience, Zhao Ya's parents also changed their expressions when they saw the middle-aged man.
"Who is this??"
Others started talking about it.
Then, the middle-aged man had already walked to the stage and grabbed Zhao Ya's hand: "Let's go, follow me."
"Li Yang, let me go, what are you doing?"
Zhao Ya fiercely broke away from Li Yang's hand and said.
"Boy, Zhao Ya is mine. Let me tell you, you can't get married. Haha, she is my woman."
Li Yang sneered: "I sue..."
boom!
Before Li Yang could finish speaking, he was suddenly punched hard from behind and fainted.
"Master of Ceremonies, you continue."
Lin Zhendong said calmly: "This is a mental delusion. It caused trouble yesterday and is still making trouble today. Don't worry, I have already called the police."
With that said, Lin Zhendong dragged him directly behind.
"Dongzi, fortunately you reacted quickly, otherwise today would have been really embarrassing, but what about this person..."
Lin Hai's uncle hurriedly came over and said.
"Throw it away at my house first."
Lin Zhendong said and glanced at his uncle: "But this person must know that Zhao Ya, this..."
"Marriage must be done."
Uncle Lin Zhendong said: "We have given so many betrothal gifts, but one thing is the same. Zhao Ya's family must give us an explanation for this matter afterwards, and we must finish the wedding first."
This matter is a small episode.
Although Lin Zhendong took action quickly, many people in the village still knew about it.
It's embarrassing for sure.
But nothing could be done.
As Uncle Lin Zhendong said.
Marriage must be done.
Not knotting is even more embarrassing.
Then this matter became clear in the afternoon.
Call it bloody, a little bit.
The middle-aged man is Li Yang. He is 39 years old. He has been divorced for a few years and has no serious job. He met Zhao Ya two years ago for some reason, and then Zhao Ya and Li Yang fell in love.
Zhao Ya's family was very angry when they learned about this.
After all, the age difference is nothing.
If you look at the entertainment industry or the business industry, the age difference of ten or twenty years doesn’t matter.
The key is that Li Yang has nothing.
Who knows how Zhao Ya fell in love with him and stayed with him for so long.
Of course, the family disagreed and forced Zhao Ya to break off, which is why it happened as soon as they went on a blind date.
In the eyes of Zhao Ya's parents, as long as Zhao Ya gets married, everything will be fine.
But who knew that someone like Li Yang didn't care about this at all.
Think about it, he's not very handsome, he's greasy, and he doesn't have money. It's hard to find a girl like Zhao Ya. Who the hell is he going to hang out with in the future?
"Let me tell you, I will throw all Zhao Ya's bed photos online later. Haha, there are also some licking my big penis. Do you know how naughty he is? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Li Yang sat on the sofa and said in a vulgar and obscene manner.
"What the hell..."
As if he felt something green on his head, Linhai wanted to hit Li Yang angrily.
"Xiao Hai, you go out first."
Lin Zhendong stopped him and pushed him out.
In the room, Lin Hai's father, Lin Zhendong's father, and Lin Zhendong's uncle also looked a little angry.
Especially when Uncle Lin Zhendong whispered: "Do you believe I will kill you?"
"Come on, come on, if you can, kill me, otherwise I will come here every day."
Li Yang said as if he was not stingy.
Outside the house, Lin Zhendong looked at Lin Hai and asked, "What do you think?"
"Ah? Brother, what do you mean?"
Lin Hai was a little confused.
Lin Zhendong shook his head and said: "What do you mean? You already know what Zhao Ya and Li Yang are like. Do you want to live with Zhao Ya? Or not? If you don't want to live with him, then let's get all the bride price and deposit back, and then We must let the Zhao family give us an explanation. If you have thought about it, then leave it to me to handle it."
Confusion flashed across Lin Hai's face, then he raised his head and said, "Brother, I have thought about it. I don't care what happened to Zhao Ya in the past. I just want to live a good life with her in the future."
"Okay, you go and accompany Zhao Ya, leave this matter to me."
Lin Zhendong said to Lin Hai: "If something like this happens, since you have still thought about it, then show your man's mind and responsibility and go have a good talk with Zhao Ya. This is also an opportunity."
"Brother, how should we deal with this matter?"
Lin Hai was a little worried.
"Don't worry about it."
Lin Zhendong shook his head slightly, and then urged Lin Hai to accompany Zhao Ya.
At the same time, when he returned to the house, seeing that Li Yang still looked like he didn't care about anyone, Lin Zhendong said: "Dad, uncle, uncle, you guys go out first."
Lin Qingshui:? ? "
Lin Qingjia:? ? "
Lin Qingshan: "???"
