Chapter 251: 囍
Seeing Lin Lin like this, Mrs. Qu became more and more satisfied with her.
"Mrs. Qu suddenly came to see me, is there something wrong?"
Lin Lin helped Madam Qu sit down on the chair and asked with some guilt.
Mrs. Qu had a smile on her face, and there was no hint of blame.
"Look at what you said. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I took advantage of you being free during the New Year holidays to come and talk to you. Also, I bought a lot of paper cuttings. I wonder if you can cut them?"
Xiaoju held a box in her hand and opened it in front of Mrs. Qu and Lin Lin. Inside was the paper-cuts that everyone played with during the Chinese New Year.
Even so, Lin Lin did not let down her guard, because she knew too well what Madam Qu was thinking, and she had seen how much she loved children since she had known her.
“I can do it a little bit, but I can’t cut it well!”
Madam Qu smiled kindly: "Hahaha...it's okay, I'll teach you!"
She asked Xiaoju to take out a charcoal pencil and teach Lin Lin how to make exquisite paper-cuts, just like Lin Lin had taught her how to make pastries before.
"It's actually very simple. Lin Lin, fold it like this first. If you're not familiar with it, we can use this pen to draw a pattern on it first and then cut along the pattern. It's much easier this way."
Lin Lin studied very seriously, and gradually she grasped the essence.
Paper cutting is neither difficult nor easy. It requires full concentration. If you are distracted, you may ruin a drawing with just one cut of the scissors.
Lin Lin, who already had some experience, took the guidance of Mrs. Qu and spent an afternoon cutting out a piece of red paper with flowers in full bloom.
"Look, old lady, I cut it out."
Lin Lin spread out the paper-cut, and a paper-cut of a blooming peony flower was so lifelike in her hand.
"Mrs. Lin has really skillful hands. It was all taught by the old lady. You see, I just can't cut it well."
Xiaoju had already cut several pieces with them in the afternoon. Apart from simple things, she couldn't even cut out a beautiful paper-cut.
Madam Qu turned around and smiled at Xiaoju: "Silly child, no one can know everything. You are smart and clever. God is fair. He always shares some of his skills with others, right? Haha..."
Xiaoju was speechless, as the old lady always teased her.
After talking about Xiaoju, Mrs. Qu reached out and carefully took the paper-cut made by Lin Lin, her eyes full of satisfaction.
"That's right. If you practice more, even if you go to the capital, there won't be many people who can match your skills."
Lin Lin didn't deserve it, Mrs. Qu said, then she put Lin Lin's paper-cut aside, and then gently spread out the one she had cut and placed it in the middle of the table.
The painting was not big, but after it was spread out, Lin Lin could see clearly what Old Lady Qu had cut. When she saw it, her heart beat faster instantly.
It was a circular paper-cut with small flowers and a pair of birds cut on the side, and a big "囍" character in the middle.
“The old lady cuts it really well!”
After Lin Lin said this, Mrs. Qu looked at Lin Lin and suddenly laughed.
"What's the point of having a good cut? The main thing is that it can be used. That's what makes it truly good."
Lin Lin's eyes were evasive, and Madam Qu saw her guilty look clearly.
Old Madam Qu also knew that it was because of what she had done in the past that made Lin Lin wary and insecure about her. As long as she didn't speak, Lin Lin would never truly accept Qu Yuanxun.
"Lin Lin, Yuanxun is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. He explained the situation to me clearly. Men in our Qu family do not take concubines. As long as you nod, I can truly use this "囍" character."
Lin Lin's face turned red. She didn't expect that Qu Yuanxun could convince Old Madam Qu in such a short time.
"Old lady, you..."
Mrs. Qu smiled kindly and patted Lin Lin's hand. She was truly willing to accept Lin Lin.
"Yuanxun's meaning is also my meaning, Lin Lin, come and accompany me!"
Lin Lin's chest was choked with sobs and her eyes were filled with tears because she met the best person in the world.
"Madam, but I can't have children!"
This is Lin Lin's pain. She has been married to Li Ergou for so many years, but there has been no news at all, and she has also tried many folk remedies.
Because she was infertile, she had been treated harshly and she was really scared, so she had to let Madam Qu and Qu Yuanxun know this fact.
"As long as you and Yuanxun are good, I believe you can raise a child well if you adopt one in the future."
This whole afternoon, Mrs. Qu was the one who comforted Lin Lin, and she also divided Lin Lin's property very well.
What belongs to her will always be hers, and even a way out is left for Lin Lin. No one will take a penny from Lin Lin.
Lin Lin has lost her character, appearance, family background, and this last line of defense. What else can she say?
……
Inside the Shen residence in Wushan Village! Lin Ting stood up from his chair in shock.
"What did you say? You're getting married?"
Qu Yuanxun held Lin Lin's hand, and they looked at each other and nodded to Lin Ting at the same time.
"Yes, Lin Lin said that since Hua Yan hasn't started working yet, we should get married in the next few days."
Lin Lin is very busy. Since she has decided to be with Qu Yuanxun, it doesn't matter whether they get married earlier or later.
Moreover, she didn't want her career to be affected by her marriage, so she might as well take some time now and get things done.
Qu Yuanxun is a trustworthy person, but they did this too suddenly, and Lin Ting was not mentally prepared at all.
"Sister, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Getting married is a big deal, and Lin Ting feels that it should be handled properly.
But Lin Lin doesn't think so. Her situation is different from others, and this is not her first time.
"Sister, since it's him sooner or later, it doesn't matter if it's earlier. I've discussed it with Qu Lang, and we'll just keep it simple and invite some relatives and friends."
Qu Lang?
Are you calling me so affectionately?
Lin Ting: "But!"
"Don't say but, sister. You are my only relative in this world, and you will also be my only family from now on."
Lin Ting knew that Lin Lin was not the kind of person who acted on impulse. Once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.
Lin Ting was happy for Lin Lin that she had met her true love.
"Sister, I'll help you prepare the dowry and other things in the next few days. You must be happy."
As Lin Ting spoke, he reluctantly grabbed Lin Lin's hand, quietly pressed his fingertips on her wrist pulse, and the worry in his eyes disappeared.
Since Lin Lin's divorce, she has not taken any folk remedies, and her body has returned to normal. She will definitely have a surprise after marriage.
"Sir Qu, if you discover any shortcomings of my sister after marriage, you should think about it more. It was because of your hard work today that you were able to marry my sister."
Qu Yuanxun solemnly promised Lin Ting: "Sister, brother-in-law, Lin Lin is with me, and I will not let her suffer even a little. If she breaks this oath, you can attack me at any time."
Shen Qingzhou put his arm around Lin Ting's shoulders. He took Qu Yuanxun's words seriously.
"That's what Master Qu said himself!"
