The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

The Lin family was not surprised at all.

As usual, he didn't say anything and waited for the old man from the Zhang family to continue speaking.

This is the greatest tolerance they can maintain.

Old man Zhang's eyes were gloomy. "Bai Xiangcao can make a lot of money. Your Lin family can make a lot of money by growing this herb in a year. I won't say much else. After Cui'e married into your Lin family, she was filial to her parents-in-law, got along well with her sisters-in-law, and gave birth to two children to carry on the family line. This contribution is the best in the Lin family, right? It is said that a daughter who is married is like water spilled, but there is also a saying that filial piety comes first. She treats her parents-in-law as her own parents, but she treats her own parents as enemies. I won't bother with her. Otherwise, this matter will be brought to the government office, and the fault will be hers. She is unfilial! By then, your Lin family will also be broken by outsiders! There is a problem with the family tradition and it will be bad for the younger generation in the family if it gets out."

After a pause, he casually stepped on the kitchen porch in his slippers, "The Lin family's Hundred-Angle Grass can make a lot of money. My son-in-law's family is doing well, so it's not too much to help my wife's family. My Zhang family is not greedy, and we won't ask you for money. As long as you are willing to give us some Hundred-Angle Grass seedlings, I, Old Man Zhang, will throw my words on the ground today and will never embarrass your in-laws again. How do you think?"

Zhang Shiming's fingers trembled with excitement. He licked his face and smiled at Lin Erhe and Zhang Cui'e, "Sister, brother-in-law, you can earn several taels a month from one acre of land by taking care of this herb. Even the big shops in town can't live as well as you. Can you take care of our Zhang family and my brother? We will have enough money to spend in the future, and my sister and brother-in-law will have less worries!"

The Zhang family's three members used both soft and hard tactics, and their shamelessness gave the Lin family another lesson.

The anger was rising rapidly.

Lin Erhe's eyes darkened, and he wanted to kick the three shameless people out with a sneer, but I held him down.

"Mother-in-law? Don't be polite to me. They have never treated me as a human being. They only regarded me as a commodity to be exchanged for benefits and advantages! In my heart, I have long stopped recognizing them as my parents! If they want to pressure me with filial piety, go ahead! Go to the government and sue me! If I, Zhang Cui'e, show any fear, I will write my name upside down!" Zhang Cui'e's face flushed, and her heart was filled with anger and sadness.

These are her parents and relatives.

How ridiculous?

She won't let them succeed!

If our family is caught this time, there will definitely be a second and third time!

The Zhang family is simply a greedy wolf! If they get the chance, they will gnaw people till only bones are left!

Mother Lin patted her daughter-in-law's hand to comfort her. She looked at the three people opposite calmly and said, "Hundred-phase grass can really make money. If you want to ask my Lin family for medicinal seedlings and want to have a share of the pie, you can. I will give you the medicinal seedlings."

Hearing this, the three members of the Zhang family looked at each other, all of them were so surprised that they couldn't believe it.

The two families have clashed several times, but this is the first time that the Lin family has been so easy to talk to!

"Mother-in-law, you said this yourself and we took it seriously. You can't go back on your word!" Mrs. Zhang immediately interrupted, fearing that the old woman from the Lin family would go back on her word.

Mrs. Lin nodded, "I'll keep my word, but I have a condition. Our two families have been entangled for so many years, and we are tired of each other. We know what you are doing to Cui'e and what you are thinking. We don't need to say more. Why don't we take this opportunity to make a break once and for all? As long as you agree to my conditions, I will give you half an acre of medicinal seedlings. After that, no matter how you grow it and how much you earn a year, it will all belong to your Zhang family. Our family will not take a penny."

"What are the conditions? Tell me!"

"You must sever your relationship with Cui'e and write a letter of severance. After this, Cui'e and the child she gave birth to will have nothing to do with your Zhang family. From now on, our two families will be strangers, and we will not interfere with each other!"

"Break off the engagement? Impossible! If this gets out, people will say that our Zhang family sold our daughter for money. Will our Zhang family still be able to live as human beings?" Mrs. Zhang refused flatly, her voice shrill.

Zhang Cui'e was very excited. Thinking that she had a chance to escape from the blood-sucking leeches, her breathing became rapid.

However, she quickly shook her head, "No, no! Mom, this is equivalent to dividing the family's livelihood! It was originally our family's only livelihood. I am not worth such a high price, not worth it..."

"Mother said that when you come to our house, you will be a member of the Lin family. You will be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Lin family a hundred years later. Mother will plan and make decisions for you in everything. Compared with the things I give up, you are more valuable. Mother is willing to give, and you are worth it."

Zhang Cui'e stared at her mother-in-law's kind eyes and burst into tears.

All the grievances that were buried deep in my heart and that I thought would not hurt if I didn't look at them were finally soothed at this moment.

She has someone who loves her.

She has a mother who loves her.

Mrs. Lin raised her hand and stroked the top of her second daughter-in-law's head, then looked across again, "My family earns nearly ten taels of silver a month from our two acres of land of Hundred Herbs. If we had enough land at home, we could have earned even more. Your Zhang family doesn't lack land. If you plant four or five acres of land, you can earn at least two hundred taels a year. In a few years, you can become a wealthy family in Wutong Town. A letter of severance in exchange for overwhelming wealth, it's up to you whether you're willing or not. You only have this chance. Today, you're leaving our Lin family, and it's too late to regret. Our Lin family isn't always so easy to talk to."

The Zhang family looked at each other again, hesitating.

Of course they want enormous wealth and glory. Is there anything sweeter than money in this world?

But it involves severing the relationship... It's not that they are reluctant to give up a money-losing person who is loyal to others, but once the letter of severing the relationship is written, the Lin family will no longer be under their control in the future.

If they agree, if the Lin family has better opportunities in the future, the Zhang family will no longer benefit from them.

No, they won’t be able to get this huge fortune this time.

"Dad, Mom! We agreed!" Zhang Shiming could not hold back and whispered to his parents, "We have a lot of land. We have planted the Hundred-Angle Grass. We can earn hundreds of taels of silver a year and live a good life like the upper class! What is there to hesitate about? Otherwise, if we leave this door today, our trip will be in vain and we can only watch the Lin family prosper! Dad, Mom, I'm waiting for my wife to give birth to your grandson! The better our family's situation is, the better we can be!"

"..." For such a big matter, no matter how strong-willed Mrs. Zhang was, she didn't dare to make the decision on her own, so she looked at the old man.

Old man Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my Zhang family agrees to this! It was your family who proposed to break up the engagement, so we can agree to it, but you can't spread any bad gossip about my Zhang family!"

"Okay, my Lin family keeps their word. Once we break up, we will never say anything bad or throw dirty water on you. We don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

"Hmph. Let's go back today and write the letter of severance and ask the elders to certify and seal it. Three days later, Zhang Cui'e will come home and sever the engagement in person!"
