Chapter 147 - 147 147 Thinking About (4)_1
?Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Thinking About (4)_1 Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Thinking About (4)_1 I’m supposed to be a future official, why am I related to such a family?
The more Ma Zhicai thought about it, the more humiliated he felt, annoyed, he simply threw down the book in his hand, pushed the door open and went out to clear his mind.
“It’s getting late, where are you going?” Yan Family’s matriarch heard the door, leaned out and asked loudly.
“Just going to wander.” Ma Zhicai answered with annoyance.
“That’s right.” The matriarch of Yan’s family was pleased when she heard him, she knew her son was not an idiot.
“Brother, let me come with you.” Ma Youcai’s eyes lit up, he twirled and tried to rush out of the house.
“You should stay at home.” Yan Family’s matriarch angrily halted her younger son, “Don’t go anywhere.”
Ma Zhicai also glanced back at Ma Youcai, his face full of irritation as he walked away.
When Ma Youcai was ordered to stay at home, he reluctantly sat on the stool, sulking alone.
The evening in the countryside was warm and beautiful, the soft sunlight bathed the fields and mountains, they were so soft and gentle. As the weather began to cool, those who cultivated the wasteland had not returned, making the village particularly quiet.
All of this fell into Ma Zhicai’s sight, but it did not arouse his interest in the slightest.
He was getting annoyed and impatient at this moment, his family was holding him back, the villagers were ignorant, he had never felt as repressed and lonely as he did now.
He felt like he couldn’t stand staying in the countryside, where he was incompatible with the villagers…
Unknowingly, he had arrived outside the large Lin family courtyard on the edge of the town.
Now that they had servants in their home, Lin Zige certainly didn’t have to do any heavy chores anymore. She and Guo Huiniang occasionally cooked, but the making of tofu was left to the servants.
“Sister-in-law, I am going to the oil mill to deliver food.” As Lin Family’s new oil would come out at night, Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou couldn’t spare time to come back for dinner, so Lin Zige needed to go there to deliver food.
Moreover, in the afternoon, Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou both went to the market and then went straight to the oil mill for work. They must be starving by now.
If they had to work overtime, Lin Family would provide meals, thus there were quite a few dishes that Lin Zige brought with her.
Along with her, were Cui Da’s family, Li Family, a servant girl, and a few of them carrying a basket full of buns, pickled vegetables, and two small buckets of rice porridge.
Zige was given the lightest load of small dishes to carry.
“See if they need late-night snacks.” Lin Ziyin reminded, “Don’t let them skip meals, physical work can’t be done well without enough food.”
“Got it.” Lin Zige agreed with a smile, picked up the basket, and left with the other women.
“Zige.” Just as she stepped outside, she ran into someone she did not want to see.
“Ma Tongsheng, open your eyes wide and look, I am not your good sister.” Lin Zige was naturally feisty and did not have any fondness for Ma Zhicai, her ex-fiancé.
Especially now, with Ma Zhicai looking at her with affectionate eyes. If others saw them, they were sure to spread rumors.
Lin Zige did not hesitate to return Ma Zhicai’s affections with hostility.
“I know that it was our Ma Family who didn’t do the engagement dissolution well. Actually, I was not prepared at all for it, it was all my mother’s idea… but, don’t blame her, she’s just a simple woman…” In Ma Zhicai’s view, he was willing to accept Lin Zige, his former faincée, and Zige should have been overjoyed.
On his view, Lin Zige’s current anger and impatience were nothing more than a performance for him to see.
He firmly believed that as long as he could comfort Lin Zige by saying a few nice things, she would definitely be more than willing to reconcile and return to his side.
