Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

The other clan members naturally escorted the man out of the house respectfully. Before getting on the carriage, Chen Youyou suddenly turned around and said to the clan leader's son, "Seventeen, you have to tidy up your backyard and teach your children and grandchildren strictly, otherwise the consequences will be what you don't want to see."

After that, Chen Youyou got on the carriage with the help of Hua Feifan. Hua Feifan looked at the clan leader's son and Lin beside him with a sullen face. His eyes turned cold and his fierce aura made them feel a chill on their backs.

Hua Feifan said nothing, turned around, got on the carriage, and told the driver to set off.

After the carriage drove away, the clan leader's son turned around and slapped Lin directly in the face, regardless of the presence of outsiders. Lin was completely unprepared and screamed "Ah!". He slapped her to the ground, covering her face and not daring to meet his murderous gaze.

"Tell me! What exactly did Thirteenth Sister-in-law mean? What did you do in the backyard before?" It's not that he can't go back and ask Lin, but there are other clansmen here. If he doesn't give them a clear answer, they will definitely have wild imaginations, and it will be even more difficult to save the situation if rumors are spread at that time.

On the contrary, if he questioned Lin in person now, he could not only prove that he did not know about this matter before and get rid of the suspicion that he was in cahoots with Lin, but also implicitly point the finger at the conflict in the woman's family.

Thirteenth cousin really loves his wife, but matters between women do not affect anyone's interests, so there is no need to worry that he will go crazy and send people to the house to harvest heads at night.

Lin did have her own little thoughts, and she also knew what Xiao Liu and the others were thinking. She just pretended not to know and let them act in order to test Chen's thoughts.

But she didn't expect that Chen would be so angry this year. She didn't give her any face at all and made her lose face in front of so many people.

"I... I didn't do anything. I just thought that there would be a lot of people during the New Year, and my sisters also wanted to talk to Thirteenth Sister-in-law and her daughter, so I agreed to let them drink tea and chat together." Lin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised her head, "Oh, it was Sister Liu. She suddenly asked about Thirteenth Sister-in-law's plan for the marriage of the two brothers. After learning that Sister Liu was a concubine, Thirteenth Sister-in-law became angry.

She said...she said Sister Liu was just a concubine and was not worthy of drinking tea and chatting with her. Then Sister Yan suddenly felt unwell, so Sister Thirteen took her to the front yard to find her son-in-law to check Sister Yan's pulse."

Hearing this, the clan leader's son's expression eased a lot, and the others also let out a long sigh of relief. This was indeed a matter between the women in the backyard, but they didn't quite understand why Sister-in-law Thirteen was angry.

The clan leader's son was also confused and continued to ask, "Did you miss anything?"

Lin lowered her head and pretended to think. After about thirty breaths, she looked up at him and answered, "Sister Liu brought her niece from her mother's family, and Sister Bai also brought her niece, and Sister Wu brought her cousin..."

The men didn't understand the meaning of Lin's words. Lin was speechless. In order to prevent her husband from getting angry at her, she could only speak frankly: "Maybe Thirteenth Sister-in-law found out that Sister Liu and the others wanted to marry their relatives' daughter to the two brothers. After all, Thirteenth Sister-in-law's son-in-law is also a country boy."

As soon as these words were spoken, the men suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing at the women for their wild ideas.

Although the thirteenth cousin and his wife acted very fond of their adopted daughter, who knew the truth? The girl was just an adopted daughter with no blood relationship, so what if she married a country boy?

Moreover, this country boy is not an ordinary person. He has so many recipes that can make money and has been rewarded by the emperor. How can ordinary country boys compare to him? To be precise, all the noble sons in the whole Shacheng are not as valuable as this country boy!

It’s not a loss at all for an adopted daughter to marry a man like this!

But the sons are different. They are the bloodline of the Hua family. The eldest is already a juren, and the second takes over all the family business. They are all outstanding sons trained by their thirteenth cousin. How can they marry a country girl who knows nothing?

Oh, let alone the Thirteenth Cousin, they would not even let their own sons marry country girls. They would barely be able to have them as concubines or maids.

The clan leader's son understood the whole story, but his expression did not ease much. After all, it was his concubine who caused the trouble and angered the Thirteenth Cousin. If he didn't do something to show his respect, his Thirteenth Cousin would not let him go.

“You must order those three foolish women to send the people back immediately, and then punish them by confining them to their homes for three months, and deduct one year’s monthly salary.” The clan leader’s son left the verdict and turned back to the mansion.

The other members of the tribe did not follow in. Since the person they needed to curry favor with was not there, they were too lazy to get involved in other people's family affairs and just said goodbye and left at the door.

Lin covered her aching cheek with her hands and raised a victorious smile. She took care of the three women who had always been against her in one fell swoop. This slap was worth it!

The clan leader's son thought about it and decided to report the matter to his father. After all, if the old man came out and didn't see his thirteenth cousin and the others, he would definitely be held accountable.

The old patriarch was also a little angry when he heard about this, but his son had already handled it properly, so he didn't say anything more and ordered: "Hurry up and prepare a generous gift and send it to the Hua Mansion to apologize to Shisanlang."

"Yes, son, I know. Let's prepare it now."

The other elders in the study looked unhappy when they heard this. Some of them couldn't help but ask, "This... then should we plant a large amount of soybeans in the spring? What if Shisanlang doesn't harvest them? Wouldn't we lose a lot?"

After a moment of silence, someone spoke up, "It shouldn't be like that. It's just a matter involving the women in the backyard. Give Thirteenth Wife a proper apology. I'm sure she's so generous that she won't mind it."

When these words were spoken, no one present believed them.

If Chen was magnanimous enough, she would not be the only woman in the backyard of the Hua Mansion. Moreover, she has three such outstanding sons by her side. Shisanlang would not abandon Chen for the sake of consideration.

The clan leader looked at his son and said, "You and Lin should go to apologize in person, right away."

"Yes."

"If you can't make it back in time at night, don't stay at the Hua Mansion. Find an inn to stay in and come back tomorrow."

"Yes." Although he didn't understand why he did so, he just listened to whatever his father said.

"Seventeen, if your Thirteenth cousin is not angry, why don't you find out from him whether we should plant the soybeans or not?" asked one of the elders. Such important matters concerning the land cannot be delayed. If the time for breeding is missed, it will be too late.

"I think it's possible to plant it..." He told the story of what the three of them had discussed in the front yard, "Also, from what I heard from my thirteenth cousin, soybeans are not only grown in Shacheng, and most of the seeds in Shacheng have been purchased out.

If our village wants to plant more, we can only look at how many seeds we saved last year. "After all, they don't have the connections to buy seeds from other places.
