Chapter 441 Anyway, you won't treat him badly just because he came to visit, right?
Wang Xing'er had originally been reluctant to discuss this topic, but she was amused by her and said, "Chang'er, you really are..."
"You're so clever, aren't you?" Lin Chang'er said without any modesty. "Actually, whether it's marrying into the family or getting married, it's theoretically equal. Anyway, you wouldn't look down on him or treat him badly just because he's marrying into the family, right?"
Wang Xing'er quickly shook her head, "Of course not."
Lin Chang'er chuckled, her face full of the expression that said, "You've been exposed, haven't you? I've caught you."
Wang Xing'er patted her arm lightly and turned away again.
Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "Sister Xing'er, I roughly know what you're thinking. I don't think Brother He is in a hurry. Let's just treat this as a matter for us sisters to discuss first, so that I have a better understanding of the situation."
"If you can't bring it up, I'll do it when the time is right."
“Chang’er…” Wang Xing’er looked at her, her heart filled with emotion. In fact, she had never had any interaction with her before.
Even her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law wanted to harm her, but when she was about to be tortured to death by her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law.
It was a complete stranger who reached out and pulled her out of the mire.
She was naturally grateful to her. When she was recuperating at the doctor's house, she thought that once she recovered, she would definitely thank her properly.
But when they actually met, she felt that saying a simple "thank you" might be an insult to her.
Indeed, as she herself said, saving her was just something she did on a whim.
But she is the beneficiary, and she must remember her kindness.
What's even more commendable is that, in order to allow her and Chuan'er to settle down in Linshui Village, she unilaterally swore an oath of brotherhood with herself while she was in a coma, so that she and Chuan'er would have someone to rely on from then on.
It also allowed her, a divorced woman, to hold her head high and live a respectable life.
This is something she never experienced with her previous family, neither her own nor her husband's.
But what she found most amazing was that, although they had only known each other for a short time, it felt as if they had known each other for many years.
Chang'er was not distant from her at all, and treated Xiao Chuan as her own child.
A few months ago, she wouldn't have dared to even think about it.
She and He Fei had indeed known each other for a long time, and even considered getting married. However, her sister-in-law arranged for her to marry Li Da, and she had no way to resist.
She thought there was no chance for them in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, they met again in Linshui Village.
In fact, He Fei recognized her on the day the Gu family moved in, and then secretly approached her.
After learning about her ordeal, he felt an urge to stab Li Da with a knife.
She knew that his feelings for her had never changed.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved, but how could she marry him in her current state?
He was at least a minor city gate official, while she was divorced and had a child.
If he were to actually marry her, he would be ridiculed by his colleagues.
Of course, besides this consideration, she was also afraid.
Once bitten, twice shy.
I fear falling into the fire again and repeating the same mistake.
She was also afraid, as Chang'er had said, that she would leave Linshui Village, a place that was extremely friendly to both her and Xiao Chuan, and go to a strange new environment.
She didn't know if she could handle the new interpersonal relationships well, having already had a painful experience like the one she had with the Li family.
When faced with a choice again, I always ask myself, "Is this really the right thing to do? What if I regret it?"
If she can't figure out the answer, she'd rather not take that step.
But today, Chang'er seems to have provided her with an answer, which, although somewhat outlandish, is not necessarily impossible.
She would be willing if they could settle down in Linshui Village, even though it was selfish, but it was the only acceptable answer she could think of so far.
Moreover, her intuition told her that with Chang'er here and Lord Wu as her backer, the future development of Linshui Village would certainly not be limited to the present.
It might not be a bad thing if they could settle down here earlier.
Thinking this to herself, Wang Xing'er asked, "Chang'er, could you keep an eye out for houses that are for sale?"
Lin Chang'er paused, thinking to herself, "Sister Xing'er is really preparing to take root and flourish in Linshui Village."
Actually, her house has the most empty houses in the entire Linshui Village.
However, her houses were all on the other side of the river, and she would only prosper after the canal was rerouted.
Nowadays, due to safety concerns, people are not optimistic about the other side of the river, so if anyone wants to sell, it's a house on the other side.
However, even though Wu Qingfeng revealed inside information to her, the canal rerouting was not something that could be done overnight.
In addition, since this was a confidential matter, she couldn't tell Wang Xing'er the truth.
But buying the house across the river is definitely the most cost-effective option right now. Lin Chang'er said honestly, "There should be some, but they're all on the other side of the river."
Fearing that Wang Xing'er would be unhappy, she added, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with the lighting and location on the other side of the river. It's just that the Lin family committed many evils in the past and ended up being exiled as a whole, which is why it's now empty."
“Right now, pirates are frequently coming ashore to harass us. In order to reduce the scope of our patrols and for the safety of our fellow villagers, we have all gathered here to live together.”
"But there will be peaceful days in the future, and you'll be able to use the house you bought there sooner or later. As for here, very few people will be willing to sell."
Something occurred to Wang Xing'er, and she asked her, "Chang'er, do you have many houses on the other side of the river?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, and Wang Xing'er said, "Okay, then you can keep an eye out for houses on the other side of the river for me."
She thought that Chang'er must have some unique insights to have managed to make a living and support the entire village.
Although those houses weren't put to use, she didn't touch them or get rid of them, so they must have been useful.
Even if there isn't one, no one likes the houses on the other side of the river right now, and the prices are low, so she'll pool her money and buy one first.
In the future, I will be able to live in my own house with Xiaochuan.
Lin Chang'er thought she was more decisive than she had imagined, and nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's a suitable one, you can buy it. You can pay me first." She was willing to lend a hand to a smart person.
Wang Xing'er held her hand, "Chang'er, meeting you makes me feel that all the suffering I've endured before is nothing. I will definitely work hard and pay you back the money."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "No rush. Embroidery is delicate work. Once you've made a name for yourself, embroidering a whole set of clothes in a room will be a piece of cake."
Wang Xing'er's mouth was slightly open. "This...this much?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "It's not that much, because I still have to take a cut! If you get the orders yourself, you can earn more."
Wang Xing'er waved her hand, "I only know how to work, I don't know how to do business. You can take whatever percentage you want, as long as it gives my son and me something to eat."
