Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth embarrassing situation
Ling Daren settled the taxes with the villagers and returned from the gathering place. When he got home, he found Ling Yun.
"Silang, dad has set a 10% tax for them, do you think it's okay?"
"Dad, didn't the child already say that you can make the decision without discussing it with the child?"
Ling Daren chuckled and said, "Aren't we worried that we will lose our son!"
Ling Yun was amused by his words and said with a smile, "Dad, according to what you said, it is indeed a loss."
Then he quietly stretched out two fingers, placed them in front of him, and said with a look of embarrassment, "Dad, if you really want to be worthy, at least this is the number."
"Then... what should I do? Dad only needs one floor, or else I can go over and discuss it with them?"
Seeing the nervous Ling Daren, Ling Yun burst into laughter.
Only then did Ling Daren realize that he had been fooled, so he pretended to be angry and said, "You kid, you are already an adult, and you are still trying to scare your father and me. What a nonsense!"
"I didn't. That's just you misinterpreting the child's meaning."
Ling Daren snorted, and then said, "Then it's settled, they will get the land deed tomorrow, and then just take it to the county government office to register it!"
After pondering for a moment, he thought of something again, and then said, "I don't want to go to the Yamen to register. I need your company."
"Well! Dad just needs to settle the matter. The registration will take some time! Besides, this year's taxes have been paid, so don't rush it."
"That's right. Dad will talk to them when the time comes."
…
Time flies, like a passing year, and before you know it, another year has passed.
Today happened to be the last day for Ling Yun to mourn for Ling Dashan, so Ling Yun went up to pay homage.
"Grandpa, your grandson is here to see you again."
Today, it seems that Ling Yun came to say goodbye to Ling Dashan. The mourning period has expired. After he has finished his business with the Ling family, he will set off again. He may not know when he will return.
Half a month later, in front of the Ling family courtyard.
"Uncle Zhou, go a little to the left, then a little to the right...Okay, this will be just right."
Ling Yun shouted from below, while Zhou Dachang installed a plaque on the door.
This plaque is actually a plaque for people to be elected. Because the Liang family no longer wanted to live in the county, Ling Yun hired people to spend half a month to re-build the wall of the Ling family's courtyard, and then hung the plaque for people to be elected.
When Ms. Liang learned about Ling Yun's true thoughts, she was unwilling to do so at first, but later she reluctantly accepted it after he tried to persuade her.
As far as he was concerned, hanging the plaque for the people who had been elected would be fine anywhere. He originally planned to hang it at the door of his mansion in the county town, but because Mr. Liang didn't want to live anywhere else, he decisively chose this place.
When the villagers heard about Lingjialei's other courtyard, they volunteered for free, but he did not agree.
He set the salary at one tael of silver until the courtyard was built and the other courtyard was renovated.
The last ten people spent a total of ten taels of silver to renovate the Ling family courtyard and make it the largest and most luxurious courtyard in Guangping Village.
After this incident, we should discuss the matter of the second child's marriage, because she is considered an older leftover girl nowadays. If we don't solve it, I'm afraid she really won't be able to find a good family.
These days, there are many matchmakers coming in and out of the Ling family to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, most of them are trying to attract the attention of the third baby, and few people care about the second baby.
Until he announced that the second baby was not married and the marriage of the third baby was not considered for the time being.
As soon as these words came out, the endless stream of matchmakers began to be reduced, but there were still one or two who came every day, but they were just not satisfactory. Now even Ling Yun was panicking.
However, in the next few days, more and more people came to the door, but their family background and appearance were really unsatisfactory.
"Second sister, is there anyone you like these days?"
Erwa pursed her lips and hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't speak.
But seeing her solemn expression and her worries, Ling Yun became even more worried.
I sighed in my heart and walked out the door.
Since you can't find the right one, keep looking.
In a village in Lingshan County, there was only a man and a woman in a dilapidated house, sitting together to eat.
During the dinner, the woman said, "Son! It's all my mother's fault. At such an age, I still can't get you a wife."
"Mom, don't say such nonsense, your son will get into trouble."
"Son, you are already in your prime now. If you can no longer talk about your mother-in-law, people in the village will probably make irresponsible remarks."
The woman sighed and blamed herself for the futility. If her son hadn't spent all the family's savings on treating her over the years, she wouldn't be in this situation.
When I think that the children in the village who are younger than my son are all married, and even have several children, I feel heartbroken, and my self-blame becomes more and more obvious.
"Mom, don't be anxious. Marriage is all about marriage. If you get married in a hurry before the marriage comes, I'm afraid it won't be too beautiful. You haven't seen the little king in the village, you haven't been at home all year round, and your mother-in-law has stolen someone and you don't know it.
…”
"Shut up, you child. Why do you take the gossip in the village home and talk about it? How come a man who is an upright man still imitates women's gossip? You are not ashamed."
"Mom, I know I'm wrong."
"Hey! It's all my mother's fault, if it weren't for...ahem."
While the woman was talking, she started coughing because her throat was stuck. The man quickly stood up and patted the woman's back gently.
"Mom, don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."
"How can Mom not be anxious? Look, everyone in the village is getting married, but our family..."
The woman suddenly burst into tears, her tears falling uncontrollably.
The man was so anxious that he couldn't understand why his mother was crying.
"Mom, actually my child has someone he likes, and he is preparing to discuss marriage matters."
When the woman heard this, she immediately stopped crying, grabbed the man's hand, and shouted loudly, "What did you say? Are you telling the truth?"
real?
Not even a single stroke of the eight characters!
It's just that when he saw her in such a hurry, he just said it to comfort her.
The fact is that his mother heard that her son had a suitable girl and that she had already discussed marriage and came to propose marriage. In other words, the two of them had already met and both parties were satisfied.
Thinking of this, the woman was so excited that her hands kept shaking.
It's not that her son can't get a wife, it's not that he can't get married, and they don't have to suffer the contempt of others in the village.
Now that he has spoken, even if he doesn't say a word, he doesn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise his mother will cry to death again.
Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart and said bravely, "Mom, it's true."
"Okay, okay, my son, it really scared me to death."
"Son! Who is that girl from? Just tell me, even if my mother sells iron, she still has to spare money to find someone to come to propose marriage."
Seeing an impatient woman, a man has a headache. If he could come to propose marriage, would he wait until this time?
I guess he wants to come to propose marriage more than anyone else, but his strength doesn’t allow it!
