Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 73

......

Chen Xiao Cai came up and tugged at Lu Lin's sleeve when Lu Lin was fetching water in the yard this day.

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiao Cai and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiao Cai lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He then blushed and said, "Did someone bring up proposal of marriage to me?"

Lu Lin nodded, "Yeah! You're popular. Quite a few girls in the village have fallen in love with you, including that Zhang Ya. This little girl is said to be the prettiest girl in Big Stone Village."

Lu Lin honestly didn't see that, but everyone kept saying that, so he tried to convince himself.

Chen Xiao Cai lowered his head and said, "I don't like those people. Don't agree."

Chen Xiao Cai didn't like the girls in the village at all, it was not like he had a really good opinion about himself. He didn't like them because he felt that these people liked him just because they wanted to live a good life. Their family was doing so well now, and those people wanted to sit idle and enjoy the fruits of their work. He didn't want that. What was more, someone... someone had already stolen his heart.

Chen Xiao Cai hesitated for a moment but he didn't mention that he had someone in his heart already.

Lu Lin nodded and said, "I've rejected them for you. You're still young. You need to work harder and save up a bit more first. Your big brother and I have talked about it, it will mean a lot if you offer your future partner some betrothal presents that you earned by yourself." Then Lu Lin added mischievously, "We need to support Mai maybe we can't afford your betrothal presents by then."

Chen Xiao Cai pouted and said, "I completely understand. I have a lot of money now."

Wan Li was a servant bought by Lu Lin, Lu Lin wasn't supposed to pay him any money, but Lu Lin had been paying him 1.5 taels of silver per month anyway. Now Cai was earning the same amount of money since he had replaced Wan Li, Cai also had been earning commission, so he was right, he had some savings now.

Chen Xiao Cai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can afford my own wedding ceremony."

Chen Xiao Cai was very confident in his ability to save money. He was only 11 years old, he would have to wait until thirteen or fourteen years old to get married. His expenses were not very big, he could save ten taels of silver a year. Three years later, it would be thirty taels.

Lu Lin was impressed by Chen Xiao Cai's confidence!

......

In Zhang Family.

"Mom, what did Lu Lin say?" Zhang Ya asked.

Her mother Ma Shi said helplessly, "Lu Lin said that Chen Xiao Cai is too young and he isn't considering getting married any time soon."

Zhang Ya let out an "Oh", then she added, "Did Lu Lin not tell Chen Xiao Cai? I can't believe Chen Xiao Cai would turn me down."

Zhang Ya was very confident in herself, she found it hard to believe that Chen Xiao Cai didn't want to be betrothed with her.

"Chen Xiao Cai is a silly boy!"

Zhang Ya actually didn't like Chen Xiao Cai. Among the girls in the village, Zhang Ya was always considered the pretty one. Many of the boys in the village liked to surround her and kiss her ass.

Zhang Ya always remembered Chen Xiao Cai as a thin and ugly-looking boy. Grandma Chen always said he and his brother Chen Xiao Mi were ill-starred. Her own mother always reminded her to stay away from Chen Xiao Cai.
