Lin Jinxiu's residence is very quiet and elegant. It is said that she personally arranged it. Unlike Gao Jialiang's room, the combination of Chinese and Western styles, all the decorations in her house are quaint.

There were two flower stands in the yard and a pomegranate tree planted. The tree was planted by Lin Jinxiu when she was born. It has grown very tall now. The branches covered the roof tiles and covered the cool shadows under the bright white sunlight.

The hall is open and the style of the hall is cool.

Since Mercury arrived at the Lin family, she liked to sit on that rocking chair and watch Lin Jinxiu's collection of books to pass the time. Although Lin Jinxiu did not go to school, her grandmother also taught her to read. However, most of the large books collected by Lin Jinxiu are ancient books, filial piety and Buddhist scriptures, and the layout is vertical, and the fonts are mostly traditional, and there is no punctuation partition yet. It is really not interesting to read by non-professionals.

With the fragrance of grass and trees outside, mercury often lie on the rocking chair and feels sleepy after not seeing more than a dozen pages.

The girl who took care of her in the Lin family was named Liufang. Although she was a few years younger than her, she was quick-witted and diligent, and was a meticulous person. In the past few days when Mercury was taken home, Liufang was probably the person who knew the most about her changes.

Because of her worries, Lin's father and mother had no intention of paying attention to other changes in her, so Liu Fang was different. She spent a lot of time with her and took care of her daily life and diet. She saw with her own eyes that her clothes had changed. She no longer loved those thick and dignified flat skirts, but instead liked thin, soft and comfortable skirts.

The second lady used to like it, but she bought a lot of dresses that she didn't take a look at, and she even bought a lot of them. Strips of fresh colored skirts were hung in the closet, and the dresses in the past were pressed on the bottom of the box.

There are also hairs, which are cut and permed, sometimes lazily behind her, sometimes tied up at will, and more formally, they would use two hairpins to plate one, but they disappeared from the restraint and meticulousness of the past, which was a kind of... Liu Fang couldn't say it, she just felt that the change of the eldest lady was too big.

In the past, she would pick her hair up regularly every day when she was together, and she would never mess up all day long. She was very particular about walking, sitting and lying down.

He returned to the house with tea and saw the young lady sleeping on the recliner again. The gauze covered with her feet fell aside. Liu Fang had no choice but to put down the teacup, and went forward to pick up the gauze and cover it again.

Because of the medicine, the mercury on the feet was always hung, but Liufang thought that why a woman's feet were so big and exposed outside. She almost wrinkled her mouth several times, and the mercury fulfilled her wish and wanted to cover her with a thin gauze.

As soon as Liufang made an action, Mercury woke up immediately, sat up from the rocking chair, lifted her hair, and brought her tea to moisten her mouth.

It is jasmine tea, added with rock sugar, and used cold well water to stir. This is another different habit from the old lady. In the past, it was probably influenced by the old lady's habits since childhood. I only drank strong and bitter tea when I drank tea, never added anything else, and it must be hot.

After a few days, Liufang could only attribute this to Lin Jinxiu's serious crime in the Gao family, which was not normal, so she didn't dare to stimulate her.

Mercury has always been very accurate in grasping other people's psychology, intentionally causing them to misunderstand, and at the same time making some changes in all aspects of life, allowing them to quickly accept Lin Jinxiu, who is different from the past.

Lin's father was the one who accepted the best. When he saw his daughter's change, he praised her with a smile: "Isn't this better than before? It's very good. Girls' clothes should be brighter and more beautiful. You used to be more old-fashioned than your mother's clothes."

The couple, including the Gao family, all believed that Lin Jinxiu's changes were all to please Gao Jialiang, and only Gao Jialiang did not believe it.

Gao Jialiang left home after Lin Jinxiu entered the door and never went back. He lived at a classmate's home near the school and was busy with a youth club activity in the school. They were all preparing to run a youth newspaper. Mr. Gao asked someone to come and call him several times, but Gao Jialiang made up his mind not to go back.

The fifth lady Gao Jiayun asked where the third brother was and came to find him quietly.

"She changed all her little feet for me?" Gao Jialiang heard Gao Jiayun say this, and he didn't believe it.

He still remembered what the other party said when he went to see Lin Jinxiu before, his disdainful attitude towards him, and his irritable temper to smash things with disagreement. For him? Gao Jialiang waved his hand: "Forget it, she can't do anything for me."

Gao Jiayun circled around him, "Oh, Brother Third, believe me, I heard what the Lin family said with my own ears. She is an old woman three years older than you, marrying you a handsome and talented man with knowledge and appearance, and she must like you very much!"

Her tone was both proud and proud, and she also had disdain for Lin Jinxiu. "Don't look at her posing high, and seeing that you have not returned, I am still anxious. I can even refuse my little feet just to please you. If it weren't for you, why could she have? You don't understand the girl's heart at all."

Gao Jialiang was convinced by her and said suspiciously: "Is that true?"

Gao Jiayun: "Of course! Third brother, I tell you, you can't be so attracted by her. So what if she is willing to help you? She hasn't even studied. If you don't have a common language with Third brother, you won't be happy! You can't surrender, you must fight to the end!"

Gao Jialiang: "I know that we are not suitable at first. What I want is a new woman who has a common ideal with me, knows my ambitions, and can make progress with me, not her kind of woman."

"Huh--" Gao Jiayun suddenly dragged his voice and teased: "Third Brother, who is your mysterious sweetheart? I still refuse to tell me--"

Gao Jialiang accidentally raised his eyes and saw a young female student with long hair coming in at the door. He immediately kicked Gao Jiayun and signaled her to shut up. A smile quickly raised on his face: "Student Anzhi, why are you here?"

This female student named Anzhi looked fair and beautiful, with a quiet temperament. She walked slowly with a neat stack of paper, "I'm here to deliver the manuscript."

Gao Jialiang immediately stepped forward to take it, "Oh, thank you so much for your hard work."

An Zhi: "It's not hard work. We are classmates and friends in a club. We should all work hard for the newspaper. I'm not doing much more than you."

Gao Jialiang immediately said: "Why? I have read the manuscript you wrote, and it is well written. I plan to put it in the first issue."

An Zhi then smiled: "I don't have much fame, is this okay?"

Gao Jialiang: "Of course, your words are thought-provoking, and I was touched by it."

Gao Jiayun saw the two of them talking and suddenly burst into laughter. He went up to look at An Zhi, "Brother, who is this person? Why don't you introduce me?"

"Don't make trouble!" Gao Jialiang signaled her to leave quickly. Gao Jiayun deliberately pretended not to hear, and An Zhi stretched out his hand to her generously and introduced herself: "Hello, I am An Zhi, Gao Jialiang's classmate."

"Hello, Sister Anzhi!" Gao Jiayun shook hands with her and winked at the third brother, "I liked Sister Anzhi when I saw Sister Anzhi. I think Sister Anzhi is very good at matching my third brother, and she is a talented man and a beautiful woman..."

Gao Jialiang interrupted her in shame and anger: "Don't talk nonsense anymore, go home for me, don't come again!"

After driving Gao Jiayun away, Gao Jialiang explained in grievance: "She has always been unrestrained and likes to joke, so don't bother with her."

An Zhi shook her head, "Of course I won't be angry with her because of this kind of joke." She paused, "Actually, I heard about your family."

Gao Jialiang quickly explained: "I don't want this. My family has made a marriage for me, and I don't like it either. I just want to walk with the people I like because of their common ideals."

Anzhi pursed her lips and whispered, "I think so too, so, I think you did the right thing, you have the courage to fight, and I think you are very brave."

When Gao Jialiang heard this, he was overjoyed. The two looked at each other and turned their heads with red faces.

After seeing Anzhi off, Gao Jialiang once again strengthened his determination to fight against this feudal marriage.

Mr. Gao urged him not to go home several times, but he also made a ruthless move and asked someone to come to him and took the person back.

"How long has it been since you came back? Are you not going to ask me as your father, or are you never going to go back to the Gao family?!" Mr. Gao became angry, holding a vine whip in his hand and preparing to take action.

Gao Jialiang was stubborn and just didn't speak.

Mr. Gao: "You go to the Lin family, apologize to me and bring your wife back."

Gao Jialiang said stubbornly: "I don't have a wife!"

Mr. Gao whipped him hard, "You still dare to say that!"

After slapping a few times, the eldest lady rushed to block it, "Stop hitting, Jialiang is the kind of character. You don't know, just tell him well, why bother to hit him!"

Mr. Gao threw down the vine whip, "It's you who spoiled him."

Turning his head and pointing at Gao Jialiang: "If you don't go to the Lin family for a day to apologize and pick up someone, you will stay at home for a day and not go out!"

"Why!" Gao Jialiang was excited, "You can't limit my freedom in life, I have the right to leave!"

Seeing that Mr. Gao was about to take action again, the eldest wife hugged Gao Jialiang's face and said, "Don't hit my son anymore!"

The eldest wife protected her, and another fifth lady ran over to join in the fun. She cried and shouted that her father would not love her brother when she was outsiders, and she made a fuss for most of the day.

In the end, Gao Jialiang was forced to go to the Lin family. He could tolerate being beaten by his father, but he could not watch his parents quarrel for him, or he could not see his mother wiping tears for him. He felt that the ideals in his heart collided with the cruel reality, making it difficult for him to have both relatives and lovers.

On the way to the Lin family, he felt angry and painful, and resented Lin Jinxiu, the culprit of all this. If she hadn't been making a fuss to go home, this wouldn't have happened.

He went to the Lin family with a stern face, met Lin's father and mother, and was taken to Lin Jinxiu's yard, and saw the woman who was leisurely reading and drinking tea.

Compared with his miserable situation, her leisure was too annoying to him.

Mercury was still raising the wound on his feet. When he saw him appear suddenly, he still sat there firmly, "What are you here to do?"

Gao Jialiang tried to kill her with his eyes, and his tone was extremely reluctant, "Come and pick you up."

Mercury: "No need, go back by yourself." She lived a quiet and comfortable life in the Lin family. She didn't really want to go back to the Gao family now.

Gao Jialiang couldn't suppress his anger for a moment and asked loudly: "I'm here, what else do you want to do?! I warn you, stop at the right time!"

Mercury was not used to his temper. She always had the attitude of others towards her. She grabbed the porcelain cup at her back and threw it at Gao Jialiang's feet. "Shut up if you can't learn to talk to others well. If you are angry, you will vent your anger on whoever you are. Don't run to me and shout."

Obviously, this young man was dealt with by his parents and could not resist the power of his parents, so he had to vent his anger on her "soft persimmon". He may not have no idea who is the source, but the word filial piety was pressed against his head and he did not dare to move, so he had to turn around to deal with what he could do.

Gao Jialiang clenched his fists, "Who did you do this for? When you go home after making a fuss, don't you just want me to apologize and pick you up?"

"But I tell you that no matter how many tricks you play, I won't like you, and your feet. Even if you do this, I will never care about how you are."

Mercury laughed, "Wake up, what kind of dreams do you have in broad daylight? Where do you get the confidence that I am for you? I have seen you twice in total, spitting water at me again and again, like a water kettle, and having a limit to be self-indulgent."

Gao Jialiang was so embarrassed that he blushed and speechless, ashamed and angry, and left the Lin family in a mess. He did not return to Gao's house, so he simply hid at a classmate's house.
