Chapter 257 The Forced Marriage
Chapter 257 The Forced Marriage
Lin Xiang and Lin Boxi rode bicycles back from the town, talking about the tractor they saw just now while walking.
Lin Xiang feels that he can buy a good one even if it is a little more expensive.
Lin Boxi felt that he only used it on the farm, so he didn't need to buy such expensive ones.
"How about we buy four tractors, two cheap ones and two expensive ones." Lin Xiang said.
"How much does that cost? Our farm has only been open for two months, and hundreds of thousands have been invested in it."
"Xiangxiang, if I continue to invest money like this, I will be under a lot of pressure. If I can't earn back, what will I do in the end." Lin Baixi said a little anxiously.
"Fourth brother, I believe in your ability. When I invested in this farm, I never thought that I could make money within a year or two. At the beginning, I would be content as long as I didn't lose money." Lin Xiang said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Xiang was so relaxed, Lin Boxi had a wry smile on his face. He really didn't know where Lin Xiang got his confidence to be so optimistic about him.
When Lin Xiang got home, he called Mo Yiran. Mo Yiran was a little surprised when he heard that Lin Xiang wanted to buy a tractor. He didn't expect that the scale of the farm built by Lin Xiang was so large that it was equipped with a tractor.
"That's easy to talk about. Tell me about the situation, and I'll help you get in touch later. When I'm done, I'll have someone send it to you." Mo Yiran readily agreed.
"Should I send you the money to buy the tractor first?"
"No, when you have time to come to Qingshan City, just bring it with you."
Hearing what Mo Yiran said, Lin Xiang secretly sighed in his heart. Mo Yiran is really rich and powerful. She wanted 4 tractors at a time. tractor.
The matter of buying a tractor finally came to fruition, and Lin Xiang was relieved.
"Xiangxiang, you said that we pull the cow dung back and put it there for composting, so we can't just put it in the field." Lin Boxi raised a new question.
"Why don't we build a few compost ponds, compost them in summer, and use them as reservoirs in normal times."
"The water in the pool must not stink to death." Lin Boxi said, frowning.
"Then what do you say, do we have to fertilize all year round?" Lin Xiang asked suspiciously.
"Xiao Jing said that the farmland at the foot of our mountain is too barren, and we can only use more fertilizer to improve the land." Lin Baixi said.
"Okay, let's build a reservoir and a composting pond. These ponds must be covered, and they can't just be open." Lin Xiang urged.
"Okay, I'll talk to my brother about it."
The reason why Lin Xiang told Lin Boxi so much was because he was afraid that after they built the reservoir, the children in the village would take advantage of the summer heat to swim in it.
The cistern will be built very deep, and if something happens to a child in it, Lin Xiang can't afford it.
But to add a wooden cover to the reservoir, it would definitely not be possible to build it too big, so Lin Bochong consulted with several masters there, and decided to build four large wells and two composting ponds up the mountain and down the mountain.
Building this is less trouble than building a house. The construction team has more than a dozen people, and the work started within a few days.
Lin Xiang waited anxiously at home for the tractor that Mo Yiran helped to buy, but the tractor didn't come, but Duan Xiaoyan waited for it.
"Xiangxiang, are you home?" Duan Xiaoyan entered Lin Xiang's yard with a happy face.
She saw Jing Xuetong playing around in the yard, and sat directly beside Jing Xuetong.
"you are?"
Jing Xuetong had never met Duan Xiaoyan, so she was a little uncertain about her background.
Lin Xiang introduced Duan Xiaoyan in general, without going into too much detail, but Jing Xuetong saw Lin Xiang's not very enthusiastic appearance, and vaguely felt that Lin Xiang probably didn't like her very much as an old lady.
"Auntie, what do you want me to do?" Lin Xiang asked bluntly.
People like Duan Xiaoyan would definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she couldn't come here for no reason.
"Xiangxiang, you met Duan Hongbao at the town cooperative that day, how did you feel?"
"What's the matter? I don't know him?" Lin Xiang said with a confused face.
"That's it. Duan Hongbao has his eyes on you. I thought you are not alone now, so I wanted to be a matchmaker for the two of you."
"Don't look at Duan Hongbao because he looks dark, but he has a good job and is not old at the top. There are only two daughters in the family. You can marry and just wait for happiness." Duan Xiaoyan said with a smile.
Lin Xiang was about Jing Xuetong's daughter, and the Lin family kept it a secret. Apart from the brothers of the Lin family, only Yang Qingqing knew about it.
Marginal relatives like Duan Xiaoyan naturally don't know about it.
Based on the known circumstances, Duan Xiaoyan felt that Lin Xiang was a widowed woman, even if she had some money, if she wanted to remarry, she could only find a widow like Duan Hongbao.
Lin Xiang never expected that Duan Xiaoyan came to match him.
The tractor seller in the town looked at least ten years older than her, and his appearance was very rough. She really didn't understand whether Duan Xiaoyan was blind to feel that the two of them were compatible.
"Ma'am, don't worry about it, I will take care of my affairs myself." Lin Xiang directly refused.
"You are a young girl, what can you do? Even if you want to find a man in the capital, you may not be able to find a better man than Duan Hongbao."
"Besides, you didn't contract the mountain forest here in Beishan Village. After graduating from university, you don't want to come back. How could someone from the capital come to this mountain valley with you." Duan Xiaoyan persuaded again.
Lin Xiang stared at the sky speechlessly, and didn't even want to explain. How could Duan Xiaoyan be so imaginative.
"Ma'am, I have to find an intellectual after I have been to college. I feel that your distant nephew is not suitable for me at all. You should stop thinking about it."
Lin Xiang talked about this, but anyone with a clear mind would know that Lin Xiang really didn't like this marriage.
But Duan Xiaoyan was different. In order to get 200 yuan from the matchmaker, she had to make the marriage happen no matter what.
"Xiangxiang, your university is also a university? I've heard people say that you seem to be studying some kind of art department. After graduating from university, you are a painter. Maybe your salary is not as high as that of Duan Hongbao."
"Don't look at Duan Hongbao's appearance, but he can make money. In the whole town, if anyone wants to buy a tractor, they all ask for his relationship. Go to the tractor factory to get a number."
"By the way, don't you also want to buy a tractor? It's better to ask Duan Hongbao to join the queue to see if you can pick up the truck earlier." Duan Xiaoyan said with a smile.
If Lin Xiang's upbringing wasn't good enough, she really wanted to kick Duan Xiaoyan out with a broom right now.
"Ma'am, we haven't been in touch for several years. You may not know my current identity."
Speaking of which, Lin Xiang pointed to the home appliances at home, "Look, ma'am, I only have these home appliances costing 2 to [-] yuan. You said that Duan Hongbao earns that little salary every month, is he enough for me to pay the electricity bill?"
"Look at the clothes I'm wearing now, do you know how much my dress is?"
"Even if Duan Hongbao doesn't eat or drink for a year, and saves all the money he earns, and can only buy me half a skirt, do you think Duan Hongbao can afford me?"
While talking, Lin Xiang took out the bird's nest that Yu Hai bought for her two days before his death from the house.
"Auntie, do you know bird's nest? Because I lost my health when I was born and waited, I have to eat a cup of bird's nest every day to replenish my body. This box is exactly 60 pieces, and the price is not expensive. Thousands of dollars."
"I wonder how much bird's nest Duan Hongbao can buy me for my health."
After Lin Xiang asked a series of questions, Duan Xiaoyan's face turned red and then turned white, and she said with trembling lips for a long time, "My God, Xiangxiang, you are living the life of a capitalist lady."
