After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.
Chapter 473 Heartbeat
Lin Cheng nodded solemnly, affirming this, and then explained: "This is the rule set by my second sister. Nowadays, the market is full of various female moral codes that restrict women's behavior. She was very dissatisfied with this, so she personally wrote a book "Male Moral Code" to regulate men's behavior."
"Although she can't control the behavior of other men, our Lin family is supported by her. Everyone in our family obeys her, and I am no exception."
"After my second sister gave me the 'Code of Ethics for Men' that she had written, I read the entire book that day. I felt that the rules listed by my second sister were very reasonable. In order to avoid making mistakes that should not be made, I memorized the entire book."
Looking at Shen Yi's suspicious eyes, Lin Cheng recited two of the rules as if to prove himself.
"The first rule of male ethics is that the sons of the Lin family should be clean and self-disciplined. They cannot have affairs with other women outside, and they must keep their pure bodies for their wives."
"The fourth article of male ethics states that no matter what the reason is, as long as the divorce is reached, the woman will suffer greater losses. After the divorce, in addition to the woman being able to take away her personal dowry, the Lin family man must also pay half of his personal assets as compensation to the woman, and the woman will take it away together."
Shen Yi was dumbfounded. Lin Cheng spoke standard Mandarin with clear pronunciation. She could hear it clearly, but when these words were put together, she couldn't understand them. After she digested the information contained in these words, she couldn't help but ask, "Can I marry your second sister?"
He can not only make money, but also manage the household, and he is also caring and considerate and always thinks of women. Is there any more ideal husband candidate in the world than this?
Lin Cheng's face was dark, and he refused without hesitation: "No!"
I always wanted to marry you as my wife, but I didn't expect that you actually wanted to be my sister-in-law. This is absolutely not possible!
Shen Yi came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh at himself, wondering how he could have such a ridiculous idea? It was simply a fantasy.
No matter how outstanding Lin Cheng's second sister was, she was still a woman! And she, Shen Yi, couldn't even go against the secular concept and not get married for her whole life, so how could she possibly risk the world's disapproval and be with a woman?
And all this is just her wishful thinking. Even if she really has the courage to let go of everything and be with the other person regardless of the world's opinion, the other person may not accept her.
Shen Yi quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea and re-examined every word Lin Cheng had just said.
After careful consideration, she found that what Lin Cheng said did make sense. Of those who expressed their willingness to marry her, how many really valued her? Most of them probably wanted to establish a relationship with their grandfather.
These people from official families or aristocratic families have many family members and complicated relationships. Once she married into such a family, she would inevitably face countless open and secret struggles in the future. She really didn't want to live a life of intrigue, as it was too tiring.
It seems that Lin Cheng is indeed an excellent candidate for husband for her.
Before the meeting, her grandfather had already told her all the information he had found out about Lin Cheng's personal condition.
Although it was not as detailed as what Lin Cheng said, a lot of the information matched, proving that Lin Cheng did not lie to her.
With such a second sister at home, Lin Cheng would not dare to mess around easily after marriage. Even if he had other thoughts, she could take the opportunity to file for divorce.
Not to mention Lin Cheng's promise of his entire fortune, as long as he fulfilled his promise of giving her half of his fortune as compensation, she would be satisfied. With this compensation, the world would know that it was Lin Cheng who let her down, and even the pressure of public opinion would not fall on her.
By then, she would just have to pretend to be heartbroken and have no intention of remarrying, and live alone. Wouldn't that be a happy life?
These thoughts flashed through Shen Yi's mind quickly, and her original three points of excitement suddenly increased to seven points, causing her heart to beat uncontrollably.
Shen Yi made a decision immediately. She raised her head and looked directly into Lin Cheng's eyes. In Shen Yi's eyes at this moment, Lin Cheng was an attractive commodity. She had already decided that he would be her husband.
However, words are not enough. To be on the safe side, it is safer to ask for a written certificate from the other party. Thinking of this, Shen Yi said, "Okay, I agree to marry you, but the premise is that you have to write me a divorce letter first."
Lin Cheng had been waiting for Shen Yi to think it through. When he got this answer, the corners of his mouth curled up and he agreed readily.
"Okay, but there is no writing brush here. When I get back, I will write you a divorce letter. If you do not regret it within three days, I will bring a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage."
"Okay, it's a deal!" The two smiled at each other and reached a consensus.
Shen Yi happily jumped into the pit that Lin Cheng had dug for her. As for divorce, it was impossible in this life.
After returning from Putuo Temple, Lin Cheng wrote a divorce letter that night. He sealed the letter carefully and then handed it to Shen Yi's personal maid at the agreed location, and asked her to hand it over to Shen Yi personally.
After receiving the letter, the maid Xiaoqing left happily. She came to meet Master Lin on the orders of her mistress. When she received the letter written by Lin Cheng, she thought it was a love letter to her mistress and secretly wished them well.
After all, in her opinion, her young lady and Mr. Lin fell in love with each other after seeing each other. Now that they can't meet each other, it is normal for them to express their feelings through letters. Naturally, there will be no doubt.
When Xiaoqing saw that her young lady received the letter, she couldn't wait to open it and read it. After reading it, she kept it treasuredly with a smile on her face.
Xiaoqing felt that this was a sign of her young lady's love life, and she was secretly happy for her young lady. She thought about quickly preparing writing materials such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for her so that she could write back to Master Lin.
Shen Yi looked at Xiao Qing busying around, feeling somewhat puzzled, and could not help asking, "Xiao Qing, what are you preparing the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for?"
Xiao Qing replied with a bewildered look on her face: "Miss, aren't you going to reply to Master Lin's letter?"
Shen Yi was stunned, then smiled and said, "No!"
Xiaoqing was even more puzzled when she heard this. She didn't understand why the young lady didn't reply. Was she shy? Or did she want to wait a while before writing? But since her young lady said so, she had no choice but to put away the four treasures of the study that she had just prepared.
