Chapter 403 Betrothal to Jinlan
After the two chatted for a while, Lin Chen left the medical department.
Old Ding was immediately happy. His salary had increased from 18 yuan to 23 yuan. Although it was still low, it was enough to live on. The family of three no longer had to live so tightly...
Besides, now that I have Lin Chen's care, it's time for my wife to give birth to a son for me.
The old Ding couple are not stupid, there is no such thing as being nice to each other for no reason. Lin Chen is nice to his family because the Ding family must have something he wants...
As for what it was... the couple understood it tacitly and no one said it out loud.
People who came out of the old society don’t really oppose this, as long as the family doesn’t suffer from hunger and cold.

Evening
The Siheyuan becomes lively
Since there is no way to avoid it, you might as well eat and drink happily.
The backyard has been decorated with lights and colorful decorations in advance. Liu Haizhong thinks that he is a cadre. He has to make things lively and liven up the atmosphere...
We have to start preparing early tonight.
More than a dozen children in the yard gathered at the Liu family's door in the backyard to receive candy and peanuts...
Lin's Gate
Qin Huairu was very satisfied looking at Xu Lingling who was taking the lead. She has already shown her potential...and will grow up in two years.
"Brother Lin Chen, isn't it a good idea for Lingling to always call us uncle and aunt?"
Lin Chen looked in the direction of the Xu family and said, "This is easy. You go talk to the short-legged tiger. Jingru, Lingling and Yushui are like sisters and plan to become sworn sisters. The He family has agreed to ask her if she agrees... If the Xu family doesn't agree, then Jingru and Yushui can only become sworn sisters. The Xu family will definitely agree, and then they can discuss their own affairs."
Qin Huairu suddenly realized that the He family and the Bai family had the final say. The Bai family listened to their own family... There was no need to ask about this matter. With the He family as a comparison, the Xu family naturally did not want to give up the opportunity to establish a relationship...
Qin Huairu gave Lin Chen a thumbs up and ran straight to Xu's house...
Xu family
Shorty was cooking with his daughter-in-law. When she saw Qin Huairu coming, she put down her work and walked into the main room.
"Sister Huairu, is there anything wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, I came here to ask you something. The He family saw that Jingru and Yushui have been getting along well in the past two years, and they want Yushui and Jingru to become sworn sisters. Sister-in-law Bai said that it's hard for me and Brother Linchen to refuse, after all, Jingru has been living in Yushui's room... But Brother Linchen said that since this is the case, why not bring Lingling along to discuss it with your family. We can discuss our own affairs in the future..."
After hearing this, Dwarf Tiger cursed the He family for wishful thinking, but was happy for his daughter at the same time.
After the little girl from the Yan family got involved with Bai Ling, everyone in the courtyard was jealous. Now the He family actually took the initiative to get close to her and used the house as an excuse...forcing the Lin family to agree.
The Lin family is now taking the initiative to involve their own daughter... Such a good thing is like picking it up for free for the Xu family.
"This... this is of course a good thing. I can make the decision without any discussion. The three of them have indeed developed feelings for each other over the past two years. Lingling really likes being with the two of them."
Qin Huairu thought, if you don't agree, there will be no such store after this village. When Bai comes back tomorrow, just let her know to arrange the seat...
"Brother Lin Chen means that the Xu family is also well-known in the alley. If this matter is not properly left, it will lose face for the Xu family. That's why I came to ask you in advance..."
The dwarf looked at Lin Chen who was chatting with a group of men at the gate of Liu's house.
"Thank you, Sister Huairu, and thank you, Brother Lin, for still thinking about the Xu family. This matter is settled. I just need to talk to Old Xu. We can discuss our own affairs in the future..."
Ten minutes later, Qin Huairu happily left Xu's house...
Dwarf Tiger has heard the news these days and now supplies are in very short supply.
The Liu family had to go back and forth several times to prepare all the dishes for the banquet. If the daughter had a relationship with Qin Huairu in the future, she would also be able to have some meat dishes to eat... After all, Lin Chen could often come back from hunting.
It doesn't matter if everyone has their own opinions. There is no blood relationship anyway.
Between being called and eating meat, the dwarf tiger chose his daughter to eat meat

Hayashiya
When Qin Huairu came back, the three little girls made the little guy giggle.
"Lingling, Yushui, come here. I want to tell you something. From now on, you two can just follow Jingru and call me sister. I have already discussed it with your mother. From now on, the three of you will be sworn sisters."
After Xu Lingling looked at He Yushui, she immediately became so happy that she took off.
"Okay, okay, then Aunt Huairu... Sister Huairu, should we call him Uncle Lin from now on? Or should we call him brother-in-law or Brother Lin Chen?"
He Yushui also looked at Qin Huairu curiously, waiting for her to speak.
"Just call Lin Chen brother, brother-in-law is too awkward. The seats will be announced tomorrow..."
"Okay, we got it!"
……
At the Xu family's dinner table, Shorty told Old Xu and Xu Damao what the He family had mentioned.
The three of them laughed at the He family for making wedding clothes for their Xu family. Qin Jingru had been living in the He family's house. The He family made this request, and Lin Chen and his wife couldn't refuse. They never expected that the Xu family would get the advantage now...
"Mom, we must agree to this. Although Qin Jingru is only a cousin, she is at least a real relative. From now on, Lingling will be related to the Lin family!" Zhu Cui was the first to support this.
Old Xu also nodded in agreement, as for Da Changlian. No one asked for his opinion at all, and at that time he did not agree with his sister living in He Yushui's room.
If I had listened to him, I would have no chance now. I could only watch helplessly as the He family took advantage of the Qin family...
"Okay, since everyone agrees, then it's settled."
The dwarf tiger made the final decision, and Xu Damao frowned.
"Mom, I haven't said anything yet! I think this is not a good thing! I call him uncle and Lingling calls him brother. This is just a joke! I don't agree with this..."
Old Xu looked at his son and glared at him unhappily.
"Your objection is useless. Let's eat! Lingling just said that we'll eat at Lin's house. We don't have to wait for her!"
Xu Damao was immediately speechless... What kind of thing is this?
Zhu Cui saw that her man was unhappy and tried to comfort him.
"You are stupid! Aren't the Shazhu couple just like us? What are you afraid of? Who will laugh at you alone..."
"Cuicui is right. Isn't Shazhu the same as you?"
After being comforted by his wife and mother, Long Lian suddenly felt less awkward.
"Well, it's OK as long as Shazhu is with me! Otherwise, Jia Dongxu and Liu Daleng will definitely use this to attack me."
……
Lin's side
Lin Chen steamed a pot of hairy crabs, and the little girls ate them with relish. They had never eaten such a rare thing before...
"Brother Lin Chen, this is really delicious..."
"Don't talk about the crabs we ate when you go out, or we won't have any to eat next time."
He Yushui looked at the pile of crab shells in front of him. Although there was little crab roe and crab meat, there was plenty of it and he could eat as much as he wanted.
"Brother Lin Chen, don't worry. We promise not to say anything nonsense. If anyone asks, just say stir-fried pork belly with cabbage..."
Qin Huairu was very satisfied that the two little girls were quite smart.
