Chapter 164: Showcasing Skills (7)_1
"So that’s how it is." Zige suddenly understood.
"How is that little rascal so lucky." In the Ma Family house, Mrs. Yan knew about Lin Ziyin’s trip to the city. She watched the gifts being sent to the Lin Family from afar and was so envious that her eyes practically turned red. "Zhicai, you must try harder. Lin Zige is now useful to you. If you are discontented with her, endure it. Once you become an official in the future, you can marry as many women as you please."
"Enough, if someone hears these words, it will ruin the good fortunes of our son," Mr. Ma admonished immediately after hearing Mrs. Yan’s words.
"Mother, disaster comes from the mouth,please speak less and refrain from gossiping with the women in the village," Ma Zhicai was even more displeased. Ever since he suffered a loss at Lin Zige’s place, his heart had been in turmoil.
Perhaps Lin Zige had indeed changed her mind.
It wouldn’t be easy to win back a woman who had changed her heart, so what could he do? He was unwilling to give up the meat that was at his lips. Many scholars in the world want to take a shortcut to becoming officials, but those shortcuts are few and far between. Now, an opportunity was right in front of him, and he wouldn’t be foolish enough to let it go.
"Mother, in a few days, go to my uncle’s house and bring their cousin here," Ma Zhicai suddenly suggested.
"Why should we bring them here?" Mrs. Yan asked displeasedly. Although they were her nieces, having them visit would surely require her to provide for their meals and drinks, which she could not afford.
