Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 209 208. What is Brotherhood?
Liang Tian guessed that the boy was a deaf-mute, and suddenly felt that he was so simple and pitiful.

She immediately tried to recall some simple sign language that she had learned when the whole class went to a special school for exchange last year.

Then he took two steps towards the boy and gestured a greeting with all his might: Hello!

While gesturing, he tried to put on a friendly smile.

In front of her.

Lin Yu stood under the scorching sunset, looking at the girl in front of him who was armed to the point where only her eyes were exposed and who was gesticulating something.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Where did she come from? Why doesn't she speak? Is she deaf-mute?"

Lin Yu frowned and couldn't help but guess in his heart.

But she immediately denied this answer because she had clearly shouted just now.

So as she continued to gesture, Lin Yu finally spoke: "...Are you lost?"

It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but when he did, his standard Mandarin scared Liang Tian.

She was stunned for a moment and put away her Parkinson's hand.

"You can talk!"

"???"

Lin Yu frowned, wondering if she was cursing.
Liang Tian didn't care. She took two steps closer and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing?"

“Picking vegetables.”

Lin Yu raised the beans in his hand and thought, didn’t you see it?

Liang Tiantian nodded: "Did you grow these beans?"

Lin Yu was speechless.

"my mother."

"Hey, what is this?"

"Momordica charantia."

"Aren't bitter melons green? Why is this one red?"

“Perfectly cooked!”

"Oh……"

Liang Tian nodded with wide eyes and was very interested in this vegetable field.

She has lived in the city since she was a child, and even at her grandmother's and her grandmother's house, they are all city dwellers.

Her knowledge of farmland and land was limited to books and picking activities at farmhouses, mostly around Jingzhou. This was her first time to come into contact with fields in the south.

Ignoring Lin Yu's inquiring gaze, he started wandering around the field.

As he turned around, he was amazed at all things and did not consider himself an outsider at all.

Lin Yu stood next to the bean rack. The more he looked, the more confused he felt. He couldn't figure out where this person came from.

Until the girl picked up a big watermelon with an excited look on her face and asked if she could pick it.

"can……"

Lin Yu frowned and finally asked, "Who are you?"

Liang Tian quickly put down the watermelon and then remembered that she had not introduced herself.

"Guess?" She unzipped the sun-protection jacket that covered her mouth and asked playfully.

"Ok?"

"Let me give you a hint. I'm your brother's relative!"

"My brother's relative?"

Lin Yu was puzzled, "Isn't that my relative?"

Liang Tian smiled brightly, and her fair skin sparkled in the reflection of the setting sun.

"To be precise, your brother's relatives are not necessarily your relatives!"

"???"

Lin Yu tilted his head, unable to understand the logic no matter how hard he tried, and stood there thinking hard.

Liang Tian laughed heartily upon seeing this, and without revealing the secret, she just walked away holding the big watermelon.

Lin Yu stood there and thought for a while.

When I returned to the yard, I saw my brother and sister-in-law coming back, and heard the girl excitedly inviting Han Xixi to eat watermelon.

Only then did he understand why his brother's relatives were not necessarily his relatives.

With the introduction of his sister-in-law, Lin Yu and Liang Tian finally got to know each other.

Liang Tian was quite relaxed and at ease, not feeling awkward or restrained in the unfamiliar environment at all. Lin Yu, on the other hand, felt a little restrained even though he was in his own home. He gave the beans his mother wanted to her and quietly returned to his room.

It’s the height of summer.

There are many mosquitoes in the countryside, so dinner is specially placed in the living room on the second floor of the main house.

Because of the news of their daughter-in-law's pregnancy, Zhou Xiuping and Lin Jianping were so happy that they were grinning from ear to ear, with smiles never falling from their eyes and mouths.

The old couple are very busy.

I cooked seven dishes and a soup in the evening and brought them from the kitchen on the second floor to the main room on the second floor. I was worried that Xixi was being blown by the air conditioner, and then I was worried that the chair she was sitting on was too hard. I was so busy that I couldn't sit still.

After Lin Xiao's third persuasion, the old couple finally sat down and ate.

"Tiantian, you should eat vegetables too. How about a bowl of chicken soup?" Zhou Xiuping greeted her daughter-in-law's cousin warmly.

I heard that this child is from Jingzhou.

Just the name of this place frightened Zhou Xiuping so much that she didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary little girl.

Liang Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I just ate a lot of watermelon, and I can't drink the chicken soup anymore. I like to eat this vegetable, it's sweet and delicious!"

The crisp tone, clear voice and graceful manner made Zhou Xiuping smile even more.

"Then eat more, eat more!"

"Well, I'm eating. Auntie is such a great cook!"

"Oh, there's no such thing as cooking skills. I'm just doing it blindly!" Zhou Xiuping said hurriedly.

Liang Tian said, "Auntie, you are too modest. The dishes you cook are much better than the farmhouse dishes I ate with my parents before. I think your cooking skills are more than enough to open a farmhouse, and you will definitely make a lot of money!"

These words made Zhou Xiuping wave her hands repeatedly, but she couldn't stop smiling.

I like this little girl more and more.

Diagonally opposite, Lin Yu frowned as he looked at the scene, simply astonished.

He couldn't understand how a girl could feel so comfortable and at home when she first visited a strange countryman's home.

Alas, no!

Doesn't "making guests feel at home" usually describe how well the host treats them?
But this person clearly didn't consider himself a guest, so he just felt like he was back home.

This scene is called...

"It's over. No wonder I only got 88 points in Chinese in the final exam!"

Lin Yu felt ashamed.

He didn't dare to pay attention to the noise on the table and just ate his rice with the bowl in his hand.

Zhou Xiuping looked at the well-educated and graceful Liang Tian, ​​and then glanced at her little son who couldn't even fart even with three sticks, and suddenly she felt mixed emotions.

She doesn't dislike her younger son for being introverted, nor does she think his grades are average.

I just feel that there is a difference between children growing up in the capital and growing up in the countryside!
After all, children raised in wealthy families will never be bad, but it is very difficult for a peasant family to raise a child well.

Zhou Xiuping thought about it and felt that she, as a parent, was a burden to her child. She was busy making money to support the family and had little time to spend with her child, which was why Lin Yu became so introverted.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more guilty.

However, when she turned around and saw her eldest son Lin Xiao, who was radiant and vigorous, her mood eased a little.

"We can raise our eldest son to be like this, it seems that we are not such bad parents!"

Zhou Xiuping felt much better.

He kept persuading his daughter-in-law and Liang Tian to eat, and chatted with the young people very enthusiastically.

……

After dinner, Zhou Xiuping and Lin Jianping went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

Han Xixi was bitten by two mosquitoes at night. Lin Xiao found some ointment at home to apply to her. But when he was about to apply it, he was worried that the ointment could not be used by pregnant women, so he picked up his mobile phone to check it.

I searched for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

He had no choice but to give up and drive to the county pharmacy to buy it.

After I came back from shopping, I suddenly received a call from my best friend Zhang Peng. After thinking for a while, I decided to answer the call.

"what?"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Peng asked, his tone flickering. "I'm at home, what's wrong?"

"Forehead……"

Zhang Peng rarely hesitated.

This startled Lin Xiao, thinking that something had happened to him, and asked hurriedly: "If you have something to say, just say it. What's wrong with you?"

The person on the other end of the phone was still hesitant.

After a long while, Zhang Peng asked incredulously: "Han Xixi...her husband...is it really you?!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Just then I remembered that at Xixi's grandmother's funeral, my true identity had been exposed in front of Xie Bin's fiancée Du Xue.

Du Xue is He Xiaoqian’s best friend, and He Xiaoqian is Zhang Peng’s wife.

It is normal for Zhang Peng to know his identity based on this relationship.

Even though his call came a whole day after the funeral, it was considered delayed.

Lin Xiao could all guess that Zhang Peng didn't call to ask right away because he felt that the truth was too shocking and too destructive to his worldview.

Lin Xiao couldn't help feeling a little apologetic.

He nodded immediately: "Ah...it's me!"

There was a noticeable gasp from the person on the other end of the phone, and then there was silence for a long time.

"Pengzi?"

"Ah...you beast!!" Zhang Peng suddenly cursed.

"Tsk!"

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, how come it's a beast?"

Zhang Peng was furious and said, "Aren't you a beast? Well, you've been dating a famous star for a long time, and you didn't even tell me! Are we still brothers? You're such a beast!"

Lin Xiao was speechless and could only smile bitterly.

"My situation is... really special. I can't tell you!"

"Can you tell me now?"

"Now I can speak!"

"explain!!!"

Zhang Peng's tone was furious, and full of gossip.

Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't get away today, so he took advantage of the time while driving to tell his wife everything about him and his wife, from the blind date, marriage agreement, to the fake becoming real, and even the fact that they now have a child.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Peng shook his head and took a deep breath of cool air.

"Beast!!"

"No, I'm going all in this time, without holding back at all! You want to call me a beast again?"

"What a beast! What a beast!"

Zhang Peng was speechless and said, "It's okay for you to hide it from me. I understand the confidentiality agreement! But what you did to Han Xixi... First you took photos to ruin her reputation, then you took advantage of the situation and married her. Then you used tricks to win her favor and capture her heart. Not only did you trick her, but you also made a big star give birth to your child without a wedding... You are a beast, such a beast!"

Lin Xiao was speechless and ashamed.

Although I really want to refute it, but to some extent... Zhang Peng is right!

"By the way, I saw on the Internet that Ma Yao, who wrote songs for Han Xixi, is her husband... So are you Ma Yao?" Zhang Peng asked again.

"Ah, yes!"

Now that things have come to this, Lin Xiao might as well just speak out without hiding anything.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Peng was stunned again.

After a long while, he just muttered: "Boy, I only knew that you can play the guitar, but I didn't expect that you can also write songs..."

Lin Xiao could only explain that he was just writing randomly, and as he was writing he discovered that he had a talent in this area.

Zhang Peng could only laugh it off, feeling inexplicably lonely.

The two were roommates and best friends in college.

But adult friendship is not that simple, and men’s friendship is far from being as mindless and unhappy as shown in TikTok.

On the one hand, Zhang Peng and Lin Xiao have similar personalities.

But during the four years of college, Zhang Peng, as an only child in the city, always felt superior to Lin Xiao, who came from a rural family. However, Zhang Peng was a good person, and this sense of superiority did not turn into showing off or bullying. Instead, he always took good care of Lin Xiao.

This sense of superiority was gradually eliminated until Lin Xiao graduated and became a civil servant.

The two were standing on the same level at that time.

After graduation, we all have jobs and can’t be together every day like we did in school.

So life inevitably began to move in two completely different directions.

Before I knew it, it has been six years since I graduated.

Although the two best friends are in constant contact, their lives have already changed drastically and the gap between them has become larger and larger.

Before this call today.

At most, Zhang Peng felt that his brother was doing better than him, and he was very happy for Lin Xiao.

But now he realized that he was totally wrong.

My brother is not just doing well, he is doing really, really well. He is so many levels higher than him that we are not even in the same world anymore.

Of course, he couldn't be jealous of this kind of good thing.

If Lin Xiaochun achieved class advancement by marrying the only daughter of a high-ranking official, Zhang Peng would probably be so angry that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

But the fact is.

The reason why Han Xixi could follow him wholeheartedly was that her career path was entirely supported by Lin Xiao.

Which woman would not love such a talented and handsome man!

It’s hard to say whether Lin Xiao got any advantage in this marriage, but he is definitely not the type who gets lucky.

After figuring this out, Zhang Peng calmed down.

"Okay, you're smart, you told me everything honestly!" Zhang Peng said with a smile.

"hey-hey!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It was my fault this time. I will come to Ninghai to see you next weekend and apologize to you in person!"

Zhang Peng responded with a smile, and the atmosphere between the two best friends remained warm.

But after hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao knew that they could never return to the kind of brotherly relationship they had before.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this what they call it? I wanted to get along with you guys as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that all I got was alienation. I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards now!"

He smiled bitterly.

When I got home, my wife had just taken a shower and was lying on the bed with her long hair half-dried.

Lin Xiao took out a special ointment for pregnant women, sat at the end of the bed, and carefully rubbed it on her legs and arms.

Xixi was playing with her cell phone.

Feeling the slight coolness on her skin, she raised her head and looked at him quietly.

Wait until the ointment is applied.

She sat up immediately, put her slender arms around Lin Xiao's neck, and kissed him directly on the face.

Lin Xiao was stunned by the kiss.

When Xixi was about to kiss her for the second time, he simply covered her little face with his palm to physically isolate her.

"What?!" He looked alert.

"What else can I do? I'm just going to repay you. Thank you, husband, for buying me the ointment..."

Xixi looked gentle and indeed seemed touched.

Lin Xiao smiled and pinched her thinner cheeks: "You accompanied me back to my hometown so that I could have a good sleep. Of course I have to return the favor and make your stay in your husband's house comfortable!"

Xixi nodded and smiled happily.

"Then... have you forgiven me?"

"Forgive what..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao remembered that he was still angry with this woman, and the two of them continued their cooling-off period for another month.

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled away the arms around his neck and stood up with a righteous look on his face.

"Han Xixi, don't think you can make up for your previous mistakes by just using some beauty tricks. I'm not that easy to fool!!"

After saying this, he left behind a stubborn and proud back, took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Xixi was stunned in the room.

It took him a long time to react, and he looked at me with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry: They say women change their expressions quickly, but how come this man changes his expression even faster than a woman? !
