Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 153 - 148: Tingfan, Your Sister-in-law Is Here to Pick You Up from Class

Chapter 153: Chapter 148: Tingfan, Your Sister-in-law Is Here to Pick You Up from Class

"How could I not know these things? The key is the girl doesn’t have that intention. I’ve asked her indirectly a few times, and she said she doesn’t want to get married, she just wants to stay with the Song Family and live her life." Li Guifen doesn’t worry about anything in her life except her daughter’s future. How difficult it is for a widow to live.

Going out every day to meet people, not to mention the gossip from others, her own body can’t take it. If she gets sick from exhaustion, what will we do?

Thinking of this, her eyes started to mist up, and she murmured softly, "What should we do?"

Seeing his wife like this, Lin Han didn’t feel good either. He put down his work, stood up, and patted her on the shoulder, "We can take care of our daughter as long as we can. Didn’t you save some silver coins for her?"

"For what? I want our daughter to build a house, so even if Tingfan treats her poorly in the future, she will have a place to stay."

"Then let’s build it. I’ll start the house as soon as I finish working on the fields."

"What about the eldest and second daughter’s-in-law?"

"Find a time to talk. If they don’t agree, we’ll just divide the things that should be divided."

Lin Han thought there might be some talks in the family again, and he sighed deeply, but building a house for his daughter was a must.

His wife was right. In case Tingfan’s family doesn’t treat her well, she would have a place to stay without having to rely on others and suffer.

...

To buy land from the Jin Family, Lin Qiao took a day off and got up at dawn the next day, feeling much better mentally.

Then she started preparing cold dishes. After all, she had accepted money from Zhou Xiaoli, and she asked Grandpa Zhou to help bring Zhou Xiaoli’s cold dishes to him. Cheng Sheng’s cold dishes could only be delivered at noon.

When the Jin Family was packing things, Lin Han and Lin Qiao, father and daughter, arrived.

Lin Han had a good relationship with the Jin Family, he smiled and said, "Jiusan, I’m here to look at the land again. Has it been sold?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiusan put down his work, clapped his hands, and came over to greet them, "Not yet. Xu Family came to look but didn’t buy. They wanted me to drop the price by half a tael of silver. I bought it for eight taels, losing two taels, I couldn’t agree to that."

"Anyway, the land won’t spoil, so I’ll just leave it there for now, slowly waiting to sell it."

"So, do you also want to buy?"

Lin Han glanced at Lin Qiao, "My daughter wants to buy. She heard me say your family is selling land, so she wanted to come and see it. If it’s suitable, she’ll buy it." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Jin Jiusan looked at Lin Qiao, a little surprised, then thought it must be Lin Shan buying it for his daughter, "Our land is good, whatever you plant thrives. Buy it, plant right away, and it’ll surely yield a good harvest."

"Buying land or fields?"

Lin Qiao replied, "I want to take a look first."

Jin Jiusan didn’t find it troublesome and nodded, "I’ll take you to see it."

The Jin Family’s fields were of top quality, near the river, fertile land, and the grass on the ridges grew greener than elsewhere.

Jin Jiusan stepped on the grass to make it easier for them to walk, "We decided to move at the end of the year and didn’t take care of the land, so the grass is a bit thick. If you want to buy, you’ll need to spend some time weeding it."

He thought of something and pointed to a pole tree not far away, "That’s the tree we planted, almost ten years. It bore its first fruits this year, big and plenty, will surely yield a lot next year."

"I brought this tangerine tree from another place. Everyone said it’s very sweet. If I could take it with me, I would’ve dug it up."

Lin Han joked, "The village kids have been eyeing this tangerine tree for years, if you leave, they’ll probably cry."

Jin Jiusan laughed heartily a few times, then pointed to another place, "That place grows a lot of fish mint every year. Last year I took it to town and made over ten cents."

"So your land is quite the treasure," Lin Han chuckled.

"Exactly, I tended it for many years, feeling a bit reluctant." Jin Jiusan sighed.

Lin Han reassured, "Don’t be reluctant, your Aqiao is taking you for a good life. We can’t even go if we want to."

After a while, Jin Jiusan looked at Lin Qiao and asked, "Madam Tingfan, what do you think? The price is what your father offered."

The Jin Family had two acres of fields and one acre of land left, and Lin Qiao calculated she had enough silver, "Uncle Jin, I will buy your two acres of fields and one acre of land."

Jin Jiusan was stunned for a moment. The total was almost twenty taels of silver, even if Lin Han was buying, he couldn’t afford that much silver.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Han, "Really want to buy?"

Lin Han was also stunned, realizing it and asking Lin Qiao, "Does my daughter want to buy all?"

"Yes, I brought the silver." Lin Qiao knew Jin Jiusan didn’t believe it, so she showed him the money bag.

The shining silver presented made Jin Jiusan finally believe Lin Qiao really wanted to buy, he grinned widely, "Alright, I’ll get the land deed, we can go to the village head for notarization."

"Uncle Jin, it might have to wait until noon," Lin Qiao paused, explaining, "Uncle is studying right now."

Hearing it was bought in Song Tingfan’s name, Jin Jiusan wasn’t surprised, nodding quickly, "Alright, we’ll go to the village head’s house at noon."

"Madam Tingfan, don’t tease uncle, okay?"

Lin Qiao smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, Uncle Jin, I wouldn’t joke about this."

"That’s good, that’s good," Jin Jiu laughed.

The three then went to the village head’s house, talked about it in advance, and Zhou Ping was a bit surprised Lin Qiao was buying the land, but agreed without much thought.

However, he had to go to town for some affairs in the early afternoon, so they should hurry, or wait until the evening.

The Jin Family had to leave in the afternoon, couldn’t wait till evening, so they had to rush during lunchtime.

...

School

Near noon, as class was about to end, the children were restless, eagerly watching the door, ready to dash out as soon as the teacher announced the end of class.

Zhou Tiedan suddenly noticed something, his eyes lit up, he turned to Song Tingfan, who was listening to Mr. Cheng, and whispered, "Tingfan, your sister-in-law is here to pick you up." He couldn’t hide his excitement.

From the tone, it could be mistaken as if his own sister-in-law came to pick him up.

Song Tingfan, who was previously ignoring him, turned sharply to the door upon hearing this, meeting Lin Qiao’s gaze, and grinned happily with a hint of joy.

He wasn’t eager to leave earlier, but now he couldn’t wait, constantly glancing at the door.

Lin Qiao naturally noticed, moved slightly to the other side of the door so Song Tingfan couldn’t see her, feeling a bit disappointed, he put down his brush and continued writing.

At noon, Cheng Sheng closed the book and kindly said, "Class dismissed."

Exiting the school, he saw Lin Qiao under the tree, her plain clothes couldn’t hide her beauty.

He nodded slightly in greeting.

"Mr. Cheng, here’s your cold dish." Lin Qiao came over, took out the cold dish from her basket for him, and added, "If you can’t finish it, store it in the water tank, it’ll stay fresh."

"Sure, thank you." Cheng Sheng took it, said no more, and left.
