Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"You're Niu Lin Xin?"

Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua both couldn't be sure the person before them was Niu Lin Xin, so they asked that question.

"Yeah, how come you don't recognize me anymore?"

Niu Lin Xin wore a baffled expression.

In her view, Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua ought to have recognized her at first glance; after all, this wasn't the first time they'd met.

"Hehe, a girl really changes eighteen ways as she grows up."

Wang Erhai let out a dry sigh of amazement.

Niu Lin Xin grinned:

"Have I gotten prettier?"

Wang Erhai couldn't help but retort again:

"You treat yourself like cattle — wearing a ring on your nose, is that so someone can lead you around by the nose?"

The moment Wang Erhai said that, Niu Lin Xin felt a bit embarrassed, but mostly unwilling to accept it:

"Brother Erhai, that makes you a fossil; this is fashion, get it? Look at my style — isn't it unique!"

Wang Erhai still wanted to keep retorting.

But Wang Xiaohua secretly nudged him with an elbow, stopping him from continuing.

However you put it, Niu Lin Xin is Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang's daughter; right now they're in her home, in front of Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang, badmouthing their daughter like that — that's definitely not good.

"Lixin, we're heading back; we won't disturb you any longer."

Wang Xiaohua said that flatly.

Niu Lin Xin, however, was extremely enthusiastic:

"Don't go yet; I just got back — come inside and sit for a few minutes!"

Having said that, regardless of whether Wang Xiaohua and Wang Erhai agreed, she dragged the two of them back to the Living Room.

This Niu Lin Xin truly fits every trait of a Spiritual Young Girl.

Non-mainstream look, full of rebellious spirit, but at heart she's actually not bad.

Toward friends, she's even very warm.

Seeing Niu Lin Xin return, Niu Chunsheng immediately flared up:

"So you still know how to come home? All day you just fool around outside! Not studying properly now — let's see how you'll manage in the future!"

Niu Lin Xin gave a cold hmph:

"None of your business! If I really can't make it later, I'll just find someone to marry and be done with it!"

Niu Chunsheng shouted loudly:

"With that deadbeat look of yours, who could you possibly marry!"

Niu Lin Xin grinned, whether deliberately to provoke Niu Chunsheng or what, and at that moment she grabbed Wang Xiaohua's hand:

"If worst comes to worst, I'll just marry Brother Xiaohua!"

The corner of Wang Xiaohua's mouth twitched slightly.

Niu Chunsheng, on the other hand, let out a long sigh; disappointment was written all over his face.

"When will you finally see yourself clearly! Is a woman like you worthy of your Brother Xiaohua!"

Niu Lin Xin was very unconvinced:

"How am I not worthy? I'm 1.7 meters tall, weigh 99 jin, my looks aren't bad either — how am I not worthy of a 1.6-meter Xiaohua!"

She shouted those words with righteous confidence.

It was clear she genuinely believed she was worthy of Wang Xiaohua.

Not only worthy — she even thought Wang Xiaohua would be getting the better end of the deal.

"Brother Xiaohua, you say it — am I worthy of you or not!"

Niu Lin Xin pulled Wang Xiaohua over, demanding he give a definite answer in front of everyone.

Additionally, back when Wang Xiaohua tutored her homework, he'd leaned in a bit close, which had made her keep feeling that Wang Xiaohua had that kind of interest in her.

Wang Xiaohua was made extremely awkward by Niu Lin Xin's stance.

"Lixin, you're worthy of any man in the world — naturally including me."

Wang Xiaohua didn't want to anger Niu Lin Xin, so he spoke nice words to her.

It's not that he couldn't afford to offend her; it's just there was no need to.

Getting entangled with Niu Lin Xin would only waste time.

The two of them simply aren't from the same world.

Hearing Wang Xiaohua put it that way, Niu Lin Xin's little face immediately showed a proud expression.

"You hear that, you hear that — Brother Xiaohua says I'm worthy of any man in the world, yet you make me out to be worthless!"

At this point Wang Xiaohua's tone shifted:

"But I already have a partner; if you want to find one, you'll have to look for another man."

Niu Lin Xin was surprised:

"What? Brother Xiaohua, you actually managed to get a partner? That woman must be blind to have taken a liking to you!"

Wang Xiaohua let out a dry laugh:

"You've met her before, even visited her home. My partner is Li Jianjia, also from this county. Don't you remember?"

Niu Lin Xin suddenly realized:

"Oh oh, her. I thought you two had already broken up!"

Back then Niu Lin Xin had indeed visited Li Jianjia's home as a guest, and it was Niu Chunsheng who brought her.

During the idle chat Niu Chunsheng said Niu Lin Xin had no concept of money, because Niu Lin Xin felt several hundred thousand was easy to earn, while Li Zhongxian, a section-level minor leader in the county town, earned just over a hundred thousand in salary all year.

As a result Niu Lin Xin blurted out without a care: "I don't believe it! If Uncle Zhongxian's salary is really that low, how could he live in such a big house and drive such a nice car? Could it be his money all came from corruption?"

That sentence of hers directly silenced the whole room at the time.

At the time everyone felt Niu Lin Xin was just speaking childish innocence, but looking back now, it turns out even a child could see through Li Zhongxian's problems, yet he still didn't know to stop in time.

Ending up in prison today is actually perfectly reasonable.

"My Third Brother didn't break up with Li Jianjia, they even got their marriage certificate."

Wang Erhai spoke up with that sentence at this moment.

Niu Lin Xin was immediately even more surprised:

"What? Brother Xiao Hua, wasn't Li Jianjia's dad arrested for corruption? You actually married a corrupt official's daughter, have you read yourself stupid?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua's expression turned somewhat unsightly.

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly scolded Niu Lin Xin:

"No manners, if you can't speak then shut your mouth!"

Then he hurriedly apologized to Wang Xiaohua for his daughter:

"Xiao Hua, don't take it to heart, my daughter is just like this, no brains!"

Niu Lin Xin pouted her little mouth:

"How do I have no brains? Was what I said wrong!"

Chunsheng truly could bear it no longer, almost roaring out:

"Just because it's right doesn't mean you can say it! You hurry back to your room for me! How did I give birth to a daughter with zero EQ like you!"

Niu Lin Xin huffed angrily, stomped her foot, and went back to her room.

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly came to apologize to Wang Xiaohua again:

"Xiao Hua, truly sorry, I failed to teach my daughter well."

Wang Xiaohua dismissed it with a smile:

"It's fine, mouths grow on other people's bodies, let them say whatever they want, I have no right to seal anyone's mouth."

Niu Chunsheng sighed:

"To be honest, your marriage to Li Jianjia really surprised me too, why didn't you tell me, I didn't even get to give you a gift."

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"We only got the certificate, no banquet. If we hold a banquet later, we'll definitely let Uncle Chunsheng know."

"Alright, then I'll definitely attend!"

Niu Chunsheng hesitated a moment, but still couldn't help asking:

"Xiao Hua, why did you marry Li Jianjia at this time, you should know about her family's situation too."
