Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Scumbag and Cheap Girl_1

Jiuping Village now feels like a village of criminals. Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan actually didn’t want to come, but they both desired a good reputation and didn’t want to be the subject of gossip for not showing up.

After all, this was her maiden home; after all, this was his in-laws’ home.

Moreover, they used to visit each other, even if it was rare, but suddenly stopping those visits would certainly provoke others to talk behind their backs, saying she was disowning her maiden family, or he was disowning his in-laws.

Lin Luye was Lin Anjing’s cousin, the youngest daughter of Lin Anjing’s fifth uncle, Lin Wuqiang. She was quite pretty and had been married to Pan Shuangquan for nearly three years, bearing him two daughters already.

As for Pan Shuangquan, though he was tall and strong, he wasn’t very good-looking and had a black birthmark on his face. But his family background was quite respectable among farmers, with not only cattle but also over twenty acres of land, sparking the interest of many girls who wanted to marry him.

But because Pan Shuangquan’s parents had taken a liking to Lin Anjing early on, appreciating her capabilities, they sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Lin Daqiang saw that Pan Shuangquan’s family was well-off and expected a hefty dowry, so he immediately agreed to the marriage without anticipating that Pan Shuangquan would later break off the engagement, refusing to marry Lin Anjing who had not yet had her period.

Afterwards, Pan Shuangquan married Lin Luye, leading to a severe falling-out between Lin Daqiang and his younger brother Lin Wuqiang. In fact, in the past three years, the families of Lin Daqiang and Lin Wuqiang did not visit each other at all.

This time, Pan Shuangquan accompanied Lin Luye back to her maternal home, bringing half a pound of pork. Worried it would go unnoticed, Pan Shuangquan asked the butcher not to wrap it in paper but to tie it up with straw rope for him to carry in his hand.

As soon as Pan Shuangquan entered Jiuping Village carrying half a pound of pork, the villagers’ eyes were fixed on the pork in his hand. They were drooling with envy, praising Lin Wuqiang for having such a good son-in-law who could sometimes bring them meat.

Pan Shuangquan thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention and the compliments; his vanity was greatly satisfied, yet he replied disingenuously, ”Nonsense, this is nothing.”

Lin Luye, meanwhile, had a beaming smile on her face.

Actually, after getting married, Pan Shuangquan wasn’t that nice to Lin Luye, but life at the Pan Family was still better than when she was a maid at her maiden home, and every time they returned to her maiden home, Pan Shuangquan made sure she looked good, just as it was now. After people finished praising Pan Shuangquan, they complimented her on her good fortune for marrying such a good husband.

So, Lin Luye had never regretted seducing Pan Shuangquan and even causing a rift between him and Lin Anjing, which ultimately allowed her to marry Pan Shuangquan instead!

About the matters between An Jing and Xiao Changyi, Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan had heard a few things, but only that much. Upon returning to her maiden home and engaging in casual conversation, Lin Wuqiang told them a lot more.

Then, they learned that An Jing was living well, not only did her family have a cow, but they also built a house at the edge of the mountain, a whole six rooms, and she even knew the County Grandpa...

The more Lin Luye heard, the tighter she twisted her handkerchief. Xiao Changyi had married into her family, didn’t that mean An Jing was the head of the household? Thinking about how she not only had to be careful around her in-laws but also always put up with her husband’s temper, yet living less comfortably than An Jing, who couldn’t bear children, made her feel extremely resentful!

Pan Shuangquan also felt a bit uncomfortable. It wasn’t out of jealousy, but because Lin Anjing had once been his betrothed and was now living a better life than if she had married him, which complicated his feelings.
