Chapter 232 Revealing that he is the richest man in Jiangcheng
"What are you doing?"
Qi Nian looked puzzled.
Lin Ting stood up and patted the dirt on his hands.
He said meaningfully: "Your village has a long history, right?"
"Well, hundreds of years."
Lin Ting couldn't help but feel a mocking smile in her heart.
She really took her for a fool.
How can a village that has been built for hundreds of years not have an old tree?
Even the stones on this bridge have no traces of time?
Lin Ting did not expose him and continued to act with him.
"Is that really an old village? Which direction is your home?"
Qi Nian pointed to a tile-roofed house not far away.
"The house with the yard is where I grew up. But my mother is taking care of Ah Cai's sister-in-law in Jiangcheng. There is no one at home, so we may have to take care of it ourselves."
"Well, take me to see it."
Qi Nian took Lin Ting's hand and walked to the courtyard. There was an old-fashioned lock on the door.
Qi Nian took out the key he had prepared in advance from his pocket. However, Qi Nian, who had lived in the city since childhood, could not open this kind of lock at all. He studied for a while and inserted the key, but he could not open it. .
"Is this your home?"
Lin Ting raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of suspicion.
"You are asking, can I still admit my mistake in my own home? It's just that I haven't been back for a long time, and this door has always been like this. It's particularly difficult to open. Just wait a moment, and I will open it right away."
A trace of panic flashed across Qi Nian's face, and he did not dare to look at Lin Ting.
The more anxious he became, the more hurriedly his movements became, and a small amount of sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
In the end, Lin Ting took the key from his hand.
"Let me do it."
Lin listened and opened the lock after a few moments.
As she opened the lock, she explained to Qi Nian: "Old-fashioned locks like this have a nationally unified unlocking technique. After inserting the key, you must twist and pull it out at the same time."
Then he handed the key back to Qi Nian.
Her eyes narrowed slightly and she looked at him suspiciously.
"You do not know?"
He smiled awkwardly and used a high pitched voice to cover up his inner panic.
"Of course I know, I just forgot for a moment. Go in quickly and I will take you to my room."
Qi Nian held his luggage in one hand and led Lin Ting into the yard with the other.
"I will live in this house."
Lin Ting looked around and raised his hand to touch the table.
Not a speck of dust.
It looked like it had been cleaned overnight.
Jiang Zhaolin has been going to Jiangcheng to take care of Ah Cai's sister-in-law for some time.
There is no one at home for such a long time, but the room is still spotless.
Such an obvious loophole is somewhat unlikely to be something Qi Nian could create.
Maybe she said she wanted to go back to his hometown last night and caught him off guard, so there were many loopholes along the way.
"Is your home very clean?" she asked deliberately.
"Oh, I told grandma last night that I would be back today. She should have asked someone to clean it."
Qi Nian lied skillfully.
Lin Ting looked at him with a scrutinizing face, and there was no flaw in the expression on his face.
Before entering the house, they had said that no one was at home and they needed to clean up by themselves, but now a grandma suddenly appeared.
"Grandma? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Not only do I have grandma, but I also have uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces and a lot of relatives. I will take you to meet them later."
Lin Ting nodded slightly, but did not expose him immediately.
"Come and sit here!"
Qi Nian pulled Lin Ting to sit on the bed, took out a photo frame from the drawer and handed it to Lin Ting.
"Look, this is what I looked like when I was a kid. Isn't it pretty silly?"
Lin Ting looked at the slightly yellowed photo, and then placed it on Qi Nian's face for comparison.
"Not quite like it."
"Isn't it like that?" A trace of panic flashed in Qinian's eyes.
Then he took back the photo frame in Lin Ting's hand and hurriedly put it back in the drawer.
"Maybe men have changed at the age of 18. Indeed, many relatives say that I look better than when I was a child. What about you? What did you look like when you were a child? Are you as beautiful as you are now?"
Lin Ting's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and his tone was low: "I never took photos when I was a child."
"sorry."
Qi Nian was so nervous that he forgot all about it.
Lin Ting stood up.
"Let's go, take me to meet your relatives and friends."
"now?"
"Any questions?"
"We just got off the bus, why don't we take a rest first?"
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Ting into his arms and wanted to kiss her, but she subconsciously avoided him.
"Don't make trouble, I'm hungry, how can we eat at night?"
"I've asked them to prepare dinner."
"them?"
"They are the relatives I just told you about. When they heard that I was bringing my wife back, they all wanted to come over and meet me, so we decided to have a reunion dinner together."
Qinian said and took Lin Ting to the yard next door.
A lot of autumn grains are drying at the door.
"Does the food drying on the ground belong to your family?"
"No, it belongs to my uncle and aunt's family. They have been farming at home, and my family's fields have also been planted by them."
"Oh."
"Come in quickly."
Qinian said and opened the door. There were people standing inside, who looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
When they saw Qi Nian, they all immediately put away their mobile phones, stood up nervously, and walked towards them.
Qi Nian greeted them warmly and familiarly.
"Uncle and aunt, Xiao Hong, A Liang, look who I brought back."
"A Nian is back?"
They greeted him warmly.
Not far away, a pair of middle-aged men and women came over supporting an old man with gray hair.
"Mom, look who is back!"
"Who?"
"Your eldest grandson, Qinian!"
The old man's face was filled with a kind smile.
"It's Anian who's back!"
Qi Nian leaned close to the old man's ear and said in a loud voice: "Grandma, do you think who I brought back with me?"
"Who?"
"Your granddaughter-in-law!"
"This is my granddaughter-in-law. She is so beautiful!"
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Ting's eyes. He looked at Qinian and introduced, "This is my grandma. She is over 80 years old and her ears are not working properly. You should speak louder to her."
Although Lin Ting knew that this was the actor Qi Nian had found, he still greeted her politely.
"Hello grandma."
"Good good."
The old man took Lin Ting's hand and walked into the house.
She looked up and down at the gray-haired old man. The shoes on his feet were brand new old-fashioned cloth shoes, but the uppers were very new. The clothes on his body were also brand new, with no trace of washing.
Lin Ting is a native of rural areas and knows very well that the older the family members are, the less they like to wear new clothes.
She looked at the others again.
Although the clothes they wore were consistent with rural characters, their behavior revealed that they were not actually from the countryside.
The uncle and aunt who have lived in the village for many years and make a living by farming have no traces of exposure to the weather on their faces, especially their hands, which don’t even have calluses. It looks like they have never done farm work.
The dinner table.
Qi Nian talked and laughed with them, talking about stories from his childhood.
Go to the fields to catch fish, go up the trees to dig out bird's nests.
Lin Ting watched them talking and laughing, but her heart sank deeper and deeper.
He really went to great lengths to deceive her.
He must have done a lot of homework last night, and even specially invited so many actors to act with him.
Presumably, the plot about returning to his hometown to visit relatives was written for her specially by him.
As the heroine of this scene, what is her identity today?
A new wife from the countryside?
