Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Whose Threat (6)_1

"Grandpa, if it isn’t warm enough, let Old Yao heat the kang a bit more," Lin Ziyin muttered.

"It’s warm enough, can’t you see I’ve left my cotton-padded jacket undone?" The old man temporarily set aside his melancholy under her distraction. "Zige, you’re busy every day too. Your brother and I discussed it yesterday, and we’ll proceed with your marriage to Dayou on the sixth day of next month. It’s awfully lonely for him to live in such a large house all by himself." Although he had arranged for Shaohui and some others to accompany him, the old man still felt that a home was incomplete without a mistress.

Upon hearing her own marriage discussed, Zige blushed like a cooked prawn, "Grandpa."

Her coquettish tone carried no authority.

"Boys should marry when they’ve grown up, girls likewise. In the blink of an eye, you’ve already grown so much." The old man was somewhat sentimental. "If your parents were still here, they would be delighted."

As he spoke, sadness emerged in the old man’s eyes.

"Grandpa, Mum and Dad have passed away, but they would definitely want us who’re still alive to live happily. As for Sister’s marriage, it’s a great joy." Seeing that Zige’s eyes were also moist, Lin Ziyin could only comfort them.

"The preparations are rather hasty, but you shouldn’t work anymore starting tomorrow. You should relax at home and prepare for your wedding," the old man commanded.

"Ah." Lin Zige gave her consent with a sigh.

"Tomorrow, I’ll prepare a list of the dowry items for you, sister. Once it’s ready, check and see what’s missing," Lin Ziyin said.

"No need for too many preparations. You’ve already given too much, sister." Considering the magnificent blue-brick compound of Wu Dayou, along with the land and bean products workshop, Lin Zige was overwhelmed with gratitude towards Lin Ziyin.

"While we can’t match the grandeur of a wealthy family, I will prepare everything you need for you," said Lin Ziyin.

"We have a house, land, shares, and our own hands. If anything’s lacking, Brother Dayou and I can earn it ourselves. If you prepared everything for us, we might risk becoming lazy from all the comfort. Others may not know how you come by your savings, but I do. I understand how difficult it is for a girl to manage such a large family," said Lin Zige earnestly.

The old man nodded in approval, looking fondly at his two granddaughters, "Zige, your sister and brother understand your intentions. You have provided them with a stable life, but they can’t rely on you forever. Happiness is earned by one’s own hands. They’re not lazy kids; they will earn what they want in the future."

"Grandpa, I understand," said Lin Ziyin, smiling.

Emerging from Grandpa’s room, Lin Ziyin’s mood was very pleasant. In the modern era, she had only a few friends and a little uncle. She craved maternal and paternal love, but her mother had passed away long ago, and her father? He was as good as nonexistent. As for siblings? Ha-ha, she was lucky to have been transported to this ancient world.

The room was as warm as spring, and Lin Ziyin fell asleep shortly after lying down.

In the silent night, the entire Shili Village also descended into sleep.

In the seemingly peaceful night, two silhouettes "flew" in. The target: Lin Ziyin’s room.

After finding the room they were looking for, two men in black produced a tube, intending to fly up to the second floor and cause mischief.

At the same time, Jue Ming and Jue Hui quietly entered the courtyard.

"Seeking death." With his hot temper, Jue Hui immediately reproached them in a low voice upon seeing the men in black intending to cause trouble, and he swooped in front of them.

Surprised by the quick and silent appearance of their opposers, the men in black speculated that they might be the Lin Family’s experts.
