Chapter 32 Looking down on people

People in Taohua Village no longer call A Li a burden. They all say that she is the blessing of the Lin family. Since her arrival, the Lin family's life has become better and better.

During the Chinese New Year period, people would come to Lin's house every day and would praise Ah Li when they saw her.

Ah Li had no choice but to hide in the Lu family.

"Brother Ling, why do you think people change so much?"

Lu Qingling wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

"What's wrong?"

"The adults in the village used to ignore me when they saw me, but now they go to my house every day and hold me back."

"That's because they know how good Lili is."

"Brother Ling, how do you think I am?"

"certainly."

"Then can you accompany me to watch the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival? I heard from my dad that the city is very lively during the Lantern Festival."

"You guys go and play, Lili! If you have fun, I won't go."

Ah Li thought he didn't like the excitement, so he didn't ask any more questions. He stayed for a while and then went home.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Ah Li and his family plan to go to the city for a day and stay one night to watch the lantern festival.

She thought it would be boring for Lu Qingling to stay at home every day, so she decided to go with him.

After Ah Li left, Lu Yun asked Lu Qingling: "Young master, why don't you tell Miss Ah Li clearly? Although she is young, she is very smart, so she should be able to understand."

"Forget it, I can only resist this matter anyway. If I can't resist this time, you can give her all the things I prepared for A Li."

"Young Master, don't say that, you will be fine."

Lu Qingling had been bright and clear since she was young, but at the moment, her face was filled with deathly silence.

Early the next morning, Ah Li and his family packed up and prepared to set off.

As soon as they walked outside the yard, the Lu family's coachman drove the carriage to the door.

"Mr. Lin, my young master asked me to take you to the county."

Lin Changlu waved his hand quickly, "No, no, it's too troublesome. There are many of us, so we can just take the bullock cart. Please go back and thank your young master for us."

"Mr. Lin, just get in the car! The young master has specially ordered that he must send you there and pick you up again. It is still cold today, and he is afraid that Miss A Li will be frozen. If I go back then, the young master will be angry."

"This...that's okay! Thank you very much, little brother."

Ah Li knew that her brother Ling was thinking about her, so he was happily led into the carriage by Mr. Pei.

When we arrived at the county, the lantern stage on the main street was set up, waiting for nightfall.

The Lin family first went to an inn to settle down as a family and prepare to watch the lanterns peacefully at night.

At noon, we ordered some food at the inn and then went out for a walk on the street.

Lin Sanrong and Silang wanted to go shopping in a bookstore, so Ah Li took them to the bookstore where they met Lan Qinxue before and planned to buy some books with his New Year's money.

The adults in the family didn't care about them. In the past, the family was so poor that they wanted to break a penny in half and spend it. The four men had never given them a penny except for a few penny during the New Year.

Therefore, Zhang and Yan did not take back the big red envelope Lu Qingling gave them this year and let them distribute it themselves, because they knew that their children would not spend money randomly.

As soon as they selected the books they wanted to buy, they met Lin Dabao and Lin Erbao walking out from the other side of the bookshelf, and there were several teenagers of about the same age following them.

Lin Dabao looked at the names on the two books in Lin Sanrong's hands and said with a mocking look: "Uncle, you don't really want to take part in this year's children's exam, do you? Besides, do you have money to buy books? Where did you steal them?

Come on! Haha.”

Lin Dabao and the others went to their aunt's house in the county to pay New Year greetings since the first day of the Lunar New Year and never returned to the village, so they didn't know what was happening in the village.

In their perception, Lin Sanrong and the others were poor, and they didn't even have the money to send him to the county academy.

Lin Sanrong glanced at him without saying a word, and took Ah Li with him to check out.

The four men followed closely behind.

How could Lin Dabao miss the opportunity to humiliate them?

He stretched out a hand to stop Lin Sanrong.

Although there is a generation gap between the two of them, they are similar in age, both fourteen years old.

"Lin Dabao, don't push yourself too hard, after all, I am also your brother-in-law."

"What's wrong, brother-in-law? As a junior, I just care about you. Don't overestimate your capabilities. You only went to school for a few years in the village and you want to take the child test. If you don't say anything about it when the time comes, you will make people laugh."

Several young masters who were traveling with Lin Dabao also made fun of Lin Sanrong from behind.

"If this young boy can pass the exam just by studying casually for a few years, wouldn't he be a scholar everywhere?"

"That's right, Brother Weikang is right, you should be down-to-earth."

Seeing these people bullying her third brother, Ah Li said angrily: "My third brother will definitely pass the exam and will be the first."

"Hahahahaha"

"Hahaha……"

The people next to the bookshelf couldn't help laughing.

"You are such an innocent and cute little girl. How can a child student pass the exam immediately? Some people in their 50s and 60s spend their entire lives just passing the exam, let alone getting the top spot."

The ridicule on Lin Dabao's face became more obvious, "Uncle, don't be fooled by this little girl's sweet words, you must recognize the reality!"

Lin Sanrong couldn't help but tightened his grip on Ah Li's hand. He wanted to beat Lin Dabao, but reason defeated him. If he beat someone now and entered the yamen, he would no longer be eligible to take the exam.

"Lin Dabao, you don't need to anger me, and you won't be fooled. I will definitely take the exam. My Lili said I can pass it, so I will definitely pass it."

"Since my uncle is so confident, let's make a bet."

"What to bet on?"

"If you can pass the Tongsheng Examination, I will kneel down and kowtow to you three times."

"Oh, even if you don't make a bet, you should kowtow to me. Who makes me your elder? Change it to someone more practical."

"Then if you can pass the Tongsheng examination, I will give you fifty taels of silver. If you fail, how about you give me fifty taels?"

"Can."

"Then let's find a witness."

Ah Li pulled Lin Sanrong's hand and said, "Look for the shopkeeper's uncle."

Lin Dabao glanced at Ah Li and said, "Bad girl, this store is opened by people from the Lan family. How could the shopkeeper pay attention to a poor family like you? Forget it, I'd better go find our wife!"

At this time, the shopkeeper came out from the counter, smiled at Ah Li and said: "If it were anyone else's matter, I wouldn't get involved, but since it is Miss Ah Li's matter, of course I am obligated. When my lady left, she

You told us to take good care of you when we meet you."

Ah Li looked at the shopkeeper with a smile and said, "Thank you, uncle shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper went to get paper, pen and ink with a smile on his face.

Lin Dabao and the others were all stunned. They never expected that the shopkeeper would be so familiar with this little girl.
