"Then what should you do? Have lunch at home?" Lin Chengguo asked.

"Let's take a look."

Lin Ming said: "Now let Zhengfeng and the others have time to digest. I will go there again later."

"Your wife has prepared all the dishes. Let's eat at her house at noon and come back to eat in the evening."

After Lin Chengguo finished speaking, he ran over to watch TV again.

But his words made everyone smile.

People are already so sad, why are they still going over to eat?

Is it really as simple as just eating?

…

11 o'clock.

Lin Ming came to Lin Zhengfeng's house again.

Lin Zechuan is not here.

Lin Zhengfeng and Wen Yuanyuan have returned.

Together with Zheng Wanling, they all sat around the table, each lost in thought and silent for a long time.

It's almost lunch time.

The sound of firecrackers outside was deafening.

But this family seemed extremely lonely.

I don’t know when.

Lin Zhengfeng suddenly saw Lin Ming standing in the yard.

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he said stiffly: "Why... why are you here again?"

His voice also made Wen Yuanyuan and Zheng Wanling wake up.

"Of course it's to eat!"

Lin Ming shrugged and said with a smile: "The food cooked by women is the most delicious. Although I don't treat you as a guest, I still have to eat, right?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot."

Zheng Wanling stood up: "Cooking... yes, it's time to eat. I'll go cook first."

"Woman, please wait a moment."

Lin Ming stopped Zheng Wanling: "Do you still remember? When I was 9 years old, during the New Year's Eve, I had lunch at your house."

"Of course I remember."

Zheng Wanling wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and blamed: "I went to play on the ice of the reservoir and wet my pants. I didn't say that you didn't dare to go home. You just like to eat the chicken wings I made. You didn't say anything."

You want me to tell your parents."

"That means it's the New Year's Day, and your parents don't want to get angry with you, otherwise they'll get beaten up!"

Lin Ming scratched the back of his head: "Actually, it's not because I'm afraid of my parents... the spicy chicken wings you made are indeed delicious!"

"Okay you!"

Zheng Wanling smiled and said: "Sit down first. I have also prepared some chicken wings today. If you like them, I will make them for you."

"Okay." Lin Ming smiled and nodded.

The next time.

Lin Ming tried his best to talk to Lin Zhengfeng about childhood events, trying to make Lin Zhengfeng and Wen Yuanyuan forget the previous unpleasantness.

However.

Wen Yuanyuan kept her head down and said nothing. She didn't listen to anything Lin Ming said.

Lin Zhengfeng occasionally answered absentmindedly.

Zheng Wanling didn't finish all the dishes she prepared. She just picked a few that Lin Ming, Lin Zhengfeng, and Wen Yuanyuan liked to eat.

The aroma is fragrant, but I always feel that something is missing.

Except for Lin Ming, everyone seemed to have a loss of appetite.

"Zhengfeng."

Zheng Wanling suddenly said: "Didn't you say some time ago that someone in the city wanted to buy a house in our village? In the afternoon, I went to the city to inquire and see how much they could offer for these three houses of ours."

Lin Zhengfeng and Wen Yuanyuan raised their heads sharply.

"Mom, what do you mean?" Lin Zhengfeng asked.

Wen Yuanyuan also said: "Mom, are you planning to sell this house?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"This house is the life-long effort of you and my dad. Zhengfeng also grew up here. How can you sell it?"

"Besides, if it's really sold, where will you live?!"

Zheng Wanling tried her best to keep smiling: "You don't have to worry about me. There are many houses for rent in our village. It only costs a few thousand yuan a year."

"I still have some savings in my hand. If this house can be sold for 200,000 yuan, then I can collect enough money for the bride price and three gold coins."

"As for buying a building..."

"I'll see if I can borrow some from others. You can also ask your friends."

"Try to get these things settled first and get married, so that I can feel relieved."

"After you get married, I can also go to the city to work. The three of us will work together to pay back all the money we borrowed."

When Zheng Wanling finished speaking these words.

Lin Zhengfeng had already burst into tears.

He beat the table angrily, hating his own incompetence and helplessness!

Many ordinary families spend all their capital to get married for the sake of their children. This is a perfectly normal phenomenon.

But here, Zheng Wanling even plans to sell the house!

She is a middle-aged woman, lonely, and her only interpersonal relationship is here in Linjialing.

This house carries the memories of her and her husband, as well as every detail of Lin Zhengfeng's growth.

If sold, where can she go?

From her perspective, she is willing to risk everything for Lin Zhengfeng.

But from Lin Zhengfeng's perspective, this is unfilial!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lin Zhengfeng said: "Mom, there is no way I will let you sell this house. Don't mention it again!"

Wen Yuanyuan also said at the same time: "Mom, you don't have to worry about my parents. Even if we sever ties with them, I will definitely marry Zhengfeng!"

"You believe in us. The two of us will definitely be down-to-earth and make a difference so that my parents will regret it!"

"Nonsense!"

Zheng Wanling scolded fiercely: "If you really cut off the relationship with your parents, what will happen to me?"

"I hope Zhengfeng can marry you back happily, not in this way, do you understand?"

"mom……"

"No more words!"

Zheng Wanling waved her hand to interrupt: "This house belongs to me. I can sell it if I want. You have no right to interfere!"

Lin Zhengfeng simply clenched his palms, his fists looking red.

"I've finished eating."

Just then.

Lin Ming's voice suddenly sounded, and it sounded very out of place.

Zheng Wanling's expression froze: "Um...I forgot about you. Just eat yours. I made you laugh today."

"How much does this meal cost?" Lin Ming asked.

Zheng Wanling was stunned: "How much does it cost?"

"Meal money!"

Lin Ming took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Then he grinned, showing his big white teeth.

"You have to give money when you go out to eat, otherwise you will be beaten to death or scolded to death."
