Upon arriving at Xie Family Village, Lin Ya felt like her eyes weren’t enough.
She had only heard people praise Xie Family Village before, thinking it was just an ordinary village despite all the compliments.
But today, after arriving at Xie Family Village, she realized it was completely different from their village.
All the houses were made of blue bricks and tiles, with beautiful flowers planted outside, all of which she had never seen before.
In this day and age, being able to have enough food and some extra money was considered good enough. Who else could afford to plant so many beautiful flowers at their doorstep?
What Lin Ya didn’t know was that all of this was suggested by Wang Jinhe, who then followed through with everyone to plant the seeds and gradually build it up.
People who come here to buy vegetables often like to take a stroll around the village during their free time picking vegetables.
This place is different from other villages; there’s no dirt or mess, and there are no wild dogs running around. Even the children are all clean and likable.
Lin Ya looked at everything outside with determination in her eyes.
She must stay in this village, no matter what the cost.
Qiu Chan had been paying attention to Lin Ya’s expression all along. Seeing her passionate gaze, Qiu Chan knew she had set her sights on the village.
What Qiu Chan could notice, Lin Zixun naturally noticed too.
Nowadays, the girls and boys from Xie Family Village are the most sought after. And this woman actually wants to come to Xie Family Village?
Doesn’t she consider whether they would even be interested in her?
Originally, Lin Ya thought the houses in Jie Family Village were already good enough, but when she arrived at the doorstep of Wang Jinhe’s house, her eyes lit up even more.
Only a place like this is worthy of her appearance.
She was determined to live here and become the mistress of this place.
Qiu Chan looked at Lin Ya’s determined expression and shook her head silently. This woman really doesn’t know her own limits.
Lin Zixun and Qiu Chan got off the carriage without waiting for Lin Ya to follow them directly back.
Just as Lin Ya was about to follow them inside, she was suddenly stopped by several dogs running out.
The dogs barked loudly, as if warning Lin Ya.
Inside the house, Wang Jinhe was chatting with Qiu Chan when they returned, and he was very happy to see them.
Before he could say anything, they heard barking outside, the handiwork of Tangyuan and the others(the dogs).
“What’s wrong with Tangyuan and the others? Why are they suddenly barking like this?”
Normally, they wouldn’t behave like this when familiar people come to the house.
Unless it meant having a stranger standing at the door, and a stranger with ill intentions at that.
Looking at Lin Zixun and the others, he asked, “You came back with a stranger?”
“She’s my third uncle’s daughter, someone who thought highly of themselves but lacking in skills,” Lin Zixun explained simply.
Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow at Lin Zixun. “So, you look down on her?”
“She hasn’t done anything worthy of respect. Originally, it was just me and Qiu Chan coming back, but she shamelessly followed us. After seeing the situation in Xie Family Village, she didn’t want to go back,” Lin Zixun explained to Wang Jinhe.
“People who have been to Xie Family Village don’t want to leave; that’s normal,” Qiu Chan added quietly, observing Wang Jinhe’s indifferent demeanor.
Seeing how indifferent Wang Jinhe was, Qiu Chan whispered, “After seeing the houses here, she’s set her sights on them.”
Wang Jinhe looked at the slightly changed Qiu Chan after marriage and felt quite satisfied.
This version of Qiu Chan was even more intriguing.
“She wants to scheme against our family members?”
“Indeed.”
“Let her scheme all she wants, but I wonder if she’s capable enough.” Wang Jinhe said calmly, playing with his fingers.
“Ah…”
Lin Zixun and Qiu Chan both turned to look.
What was happening to cause such a miserable scream?
Seeing that the two were curious too, Wang Jinhe prepared to go out and see for himself.
As soon as they stepped out, they saw Lin Ya sitting on the ground in a sorry state, trembling slightly, seemingly terrified of the dogs in front of her.
Lin Ya saw Lin Zixun and the others come out with a young woman and screamed, “Quickly, throw these beasts out!”
“There shouldn’t be these beasts here.”
Tangyuan and the others, hearing Lin Ya refer to them as beasts, immediately became displeased, opening their mouths wide and growling as if they were about to pounce in the next moment.
Lin Ya took a few steps back in fright.
“Lin Zixun, are you heartless? I’m your cousin, how can you stand by and do nothing?” Lin Ya looked at Lin Zixun standing there like a log, not saying anything, and felt infuriated.
Lin Zixun looked coldly at Lin Ya. “What does your situation have to do with me?”
“Lin Zixun, you…”
“Lin Ya, the county princess is not someone you can just casually scold.” Lin Zixun looked at Lin Ya coldly.
Lin Ya looked at Wang Jinhe, everything about her was unlike anything she had ever seen before, even her clothes looked like they were made of incredibly fine fabric.
If she could become a concubine to the county Princess’s husband, she would surely have such nice things too.
Just the thought of it made her excited.
Watching Lin Ya’s excitement, Lin Zixun’s mouth twitched slightly. Some people are just determined to court disaster, and there’s no stopping them.
“County Princess, I want to work by your side. Please accept me,” she said casually, as if being accepted by Wang Jinhe would be a great blessing for her.
Lin Zixun covered his face with his hand and looked at Wang Jinhe seriously. “This has nothing to with me and my family.”
Seeing Lin Zixun’s desperate attempt to distance himself, Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but chuckle. “I haven’t said anything yet, do you have to be like this?”
Lin Zixun nodded seriously. “Yes, I have to be.”
He didn’t want his Madam to misunderstand that all his relatives were like this.
“County Princess…”
“For the maidens by my side, they are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, and cooking. What can you do?” Wang Jinhe looked at Lin Ya and asked.
Lin Ya was dumbfounded. Were these the duties of a maid? Weren’t they skills only noble ladies learned?
“I… I don’t know,” she stuttered.
“If you don’t know, then why do you dare to speak to me like this?” Wang Jinhe said coldly, looking at Lin Ya.
This person was quite arrogant.
Looking at her somewhat decent appearance, was she relying on her looks?
In fact, her face was just average, nothing special.
“I… I just wanted to find something to do. Why are you treating me like this?” she said, tears streaming down her face.
Watching Lin Ya cry on cue, Wang Jinhe felt like the world owed her an Oscar.
Her acting skills were quite impressive.
Much better than those modern actors who rely on eye drops to cry.
“Tell me, how have I mistreated you?” she asked.
“My people are capable of everything, and I don’t lack manpower. What would I need you for? To be a decoration and be provided with free meals?” Wang Jinhe crossed her arms and looked Lin Ya up and down.
Her gaze made Lin Ya feel extremely uncomfortable. “You…”
“If you really want to work, you should go to school or workshop, not come to me with ulterior motives,” she said.
