Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

He Dazhi lowered his voice and said in He Mu's ear, "Le'an Township Master."

The mother was originally furious, but after her son's reminder, she suddenly realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She looked at her son, then at Lin Zhaodi, who had a tense face and an unhappy expression on the opposite side, and finally withdrew her hand unwillingly.

"Er Ya, you see my mother was just in a hurry and didn't mean it. You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with her." He Dazhi said with a smile, "By the way, it's a rare opportunity to meet you, why don't we go to the restaurant over there and have a seat? Brother He will treat you to some tea and snacks, just as an apology, what do you think?"

Everyone in the world saw the drastic change in the attitudes of the mother and son of the Wei family. Even the people who stopped to watch were amazed at how quickly their expressions changed.

Lin Zhaodi glanced at the mother and son of the Wei family calmly, and her heart twisted, wondering why they suddenly changed their attitude. It was nothing, but now San Ya has become a household name in the entire Dayuan Dynasty, and a topic of conversation.

What's more, being at the center of the vortex, everyone knows that the residence of Lin Sanya, the grassroots-born head of Le'an Township, is in Yongzhou City.

Even if others don't know, this mother and son know that she is the sister of the Le'an Township Lord...

Recalling the time in Linjia Village, the mother and son of the Wei family repeatedly came to the door under the pretext of collecting debts from the already impoverished family, regardless of their lives, and always took something away. From small things like needles and thread, a handful of wild vegetables, to large things like rice and flour, the mother and son never returned empty-handed.

Oh no, except for the last time before fleeing the famine, when San Ya beat them up and threw them out. That time, the shameless mother and son really didn't get any advantage, but instead lost more than they gained, got injured, and walked away in disgrace. (For those who forgot, please go back to chapters 61 to 63)

Thinking of the ugly appearance of the mother and son of the Wei family at that time, Lin Zhaodi's gloomy face relaxed unconsciously.

He Dazhi thought that Lin Erya still couldn't let go of him, which was true, considering that he was a rare young talent in Wanbao Town Academy.

Although the engagement was due to the father's serious illness, the engagement was cancelled due to the three-year mourning period for the father's death, and the fact that he had accumulated a lot of experience and made great achievements in passing the imperial examination, the engagement was returned under the witness of the elders of both parties... The only thing that was still involved was that Mrs. Lin took the three taels of betrothal silver for the engagement and threw a tantrum, refusing to return it no matter what...

Now it seems that if he doesn't return the three taels of silver, he still has room to maneuver...

He Dazhi's eyes were drooping in the darkness, making it difficult to see his gloomy and dark eyes. They flickered, and he raised his head again with an affectionate look, looking at Lin Zhaodi, "Er Ya, I know that my mother insisted on canceling the engagement, which made you suffer a lot and damaged your reputation. But canceling the engagement was not my intention, it was all my mother's will, she made the decision on her own. I have never forgotten my love for you, but due to filial piety, I had to obey my mother."

He Dazhi spoke earnestly, his eyes full of regret, as if he could not let go of what had happened.

Lin Zhaodi's eyes flickered slightly, she didn't believe a word of what this man said. If he really had feelings for her, why did he allow his mother to come to his house again and again to make things difficult for him? If it weren't for the third sister being the village chief, they would not have bothered to look at her, let alone forget about her feelings.

It's simply an excuse used by the mother and son to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

Although she was aware of the calculations of the mother and son of the Wei family, if she swallowed her anger and did not refute, she was afraid that the other party would confuse right and wrong. Within a day, the news would spread in Yongzhou City that the Lord of Le'an, who had gained power, looked down on the poor scholar who had been engaged to her sister, and allowed her sister to break off the engagement...

Looking at the complicated expressions of the people around who were confused, if they were allowed to continue talking to each other, rumors that were unfavorable to San Ya would spread to everyone.

Thinking about how his parents' foolish behavior had already made his third sister extremely disappointed in them, he could not mediate the situation, nor could he make their already tense relationship any worse at this time.

Moreover, if they really let this mother and son stick to them, they would probably become like the group of leeches in the old house that could not be torn off, sucking blood from their family, and even doing shameful things in the name of the third sister.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhaodi shuddered all over and tightened her hair under her sleeves, interrupting Wei Dazhi who was about to continue acting.

"Do you really think you and your son are the smartest in the world? You are so calculating and scheming that you think everyone is a fool." Lin Zhaodi said in a gloomy tone, "In order to bring good luck to your seriously ill father, you dated many girls and were rejected by many girls before you set your sights on me. But your father passed away before we got married. During the three years of mourning, your mother came to us to ask for money. She always left with something, from a piece of cloth and needlework to a bowl of rice and noodles. Although my family was forced to leave the house by my grandmother, we could only survive by relying on the help from the village."

"Erya, these are all things of the past..." When Dazhi heard Lin Zhaodi talking about the past, he became flustered and hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt her.

"Oh, don't say you don't know these things. Your mother never returns empty-handed when she comes to our house. I'm afraid all the food has been fed into the stomach of you, a scholar." Lin Zhaodi didn't give Dazhi a chance to refute. They had already torn their faces apart, so why pretend? If you want to suck their blood, you have to see if they agree.

"Later, you finished your mourning period and passed the imperial examination. Your mother looked down on our peasant family even more because of this.

She felt that I was neither worthy of you, a scholar, nor could I help you to rise to the top. So, she tried every possible way to discredit me, saying that I was born with bad luck and would kill my father-in-law before I even got married. She often came to my house to make things difficult for my parents and sister. Her sarcastic face and unbearable words are still fresh in my mind and I dare not forget them.

At that time, your mother wanted to trample us into the mud and force me to jump into the river and die. In this way, you, the scholar, would not have to bear the infamy of being a traitor.

Of course, I am a tough person and I didn't commit suicide as your mother expected. Although I was completely discredited by your mother in the surrounding area, I finally got what your mother wanted. Both parties broke off the engagement in front of the relatives and got the gift certificate back. You should be satisfied. Why do you have to act so hypocritically now? "

Lin Zhaodi's words were really rude. Although she killed one thousand enemies, she also lost eight hundred of her own. This made the smile of He Dazhi, who was planning on his own, freeze on his face, and he couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed.

As soon as Lin Zhaodi finished speaking, the atmosphere around them immediately changed.

However, this is not the end. What Lin Zhaodi wants is to completely break off relations with the other party so that they will no longer have the slightest chance to rely on their family.
