The wife of two taels of silver

The weather gradually became cooler, and Lin Haitang's craving for hot and sour noodles grew stronger and stronger.

In the Kang Dynasty, there were very few types of snacks, most of which were sweet foods like dim sum, but Lin Haitang really wanted to eat spicy food.

Gu Chen is already one month old and loves to laugh. He will laugh out loud no matter who makes him laugh. But he must sleep with Lin Haitang at night. No one is allowed to touch him at night, and he can only be held by Lin Haitang.

Fortunately, Gu Chen was less of a worry during the day, so Lin Haitang was busy thinking about food.

The fried dough sticks made two days ago were very popular with everyone. Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan were not satisfied with eating four and wanted to eat more. They stopped only after being sternly stopped by Lin Haitang.

"Sister-in-law! Wanwan!" Lin Haitang shouted in the yard.

"What's wrong, sister?" Liu Wanwan was playing with Xiaobai and hurried out when she heard Lin Haitang's voice.

"Madam is here." Zhao Xiangjun couldn't stop making winter clothes for Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan.

Lin Haitang shook the purse in her hand and said, "Let's go to the street to buy sweet potatoes!"

Zhao Xiangjun quickly said, "Madam, we still have a basket of sweet potatoes in the kitchen."

Lin Haitang stretched out her index finger and shook it, saying, "Sister-in-law, it's not enough. Let's go to the street and buy some."

"Okay! Here I come!" Liu Wanwan immediately pounced over and grabbed Lin Haitang's arm.

Liu Wanwan loves to play and runs around with Lin Haitang every day. In Liu Sanyou's words, she runs like crazy.

Although Zhao Xiangjun felt bad about the money, she still wanted to go shopping: "Come on, come on."

Liu Sanyou and Zhang Ben looked at the three people walking out hand in hand, looked at each other speechlessly, and then lowered their heads, some chopping wood and some digging the ground.

The weather was getting cooler, and there were a lot more people coming out to the market than in the summer. But as the three of them looked around, they realized that many people were running towards the east of the city.

Lin Haitang asked the vendor selling bamboo dragonflies, "Hey, what are all these people doing? Why are so many people running east?"

The boy with the kerchief said, "Don't you know? Today another group of foreigners are being exiled to Bingyan Tower, and everyone's rushing to watch the fun."

"Hey~ If I wasn't going to see the stall, I would also like to go and take a look..." The young man's face was full of regret.

Lin Haitang and Zhao Xiangjun looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had the same idea. Lin Haitang said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Outside the city gate, there was a group of prisoners wearing handcuffs and shackles, about eleven or twelve people. Their families were crying heartbreakingly beside them, and were blocked by the yamen runners with long spears and prevented from getting close.

These family members naturally include Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong.

"My son! My son!"

"Sir, Sir! Can I do this for my son? Can I do this for my son?"

Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong cried so hard that they stretched out their hands to touch Lin Jiafu.

Lin Jiafu was covered in dirt, his hair looked like a bird's nest, his face was covered in black spots, and his clothes were stained with blood. He cried out, "Dad! Mom! I don't want to go to Bingyan Tower! Dad! Mom!"

"Save me! Save me, Dad!"

But no matter how he shouted, Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong could not stand in front of him, and Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong could not save him.

Zhao Xiangjun looked at this scene and felt relieved. She snorted coldly, "Serves you right!"

Lin Haitang didn't say anything, but she also had a relieved expression on her face, which made Liu Wanwan very curious. She asked, "Sister, does this person have a grudge against us?"

"Them?" Lin Haitang hummed, then said, "The one who's going to be exiled is my biological brother, and those two are my parents."

Liu Wanwan was shocked and said, "Then this..."

Zhao Xiangjun said angrily: "Three bastards, that Lin Jiafu is the one who should be exiled, kidnapped us Mo Mo and Lan Lan and sold us to human traffickers!"

Zhao Xiangjun almost cried when she talked about it now, "If it weren't for Madam, the young master and the young lady would have almost never come back!"

This was the first time Liu Wanwan had heard of this. Her eyes blazed with anger, her teeth gnashed, and she wished she could slap him twice: "Scumbag! Exiling him is too good for him!"

No matter how hard these family members cried, the time had finally come and these people who were to be exiled began their journey.

Wu Cailing had fainted from crying, and Lin Guangzong also sat on the ground crying.

The wandering team gradually went away and disappeared without a trace.

The onlookers were also cursing them, saying that they deserved it, and gradually dispersed. Lin Haitang and the other two watched for a while, then turned around and left.

Wu Cailing saw Lin Haitang and yelled, "Lin Haitang! You bitch! You're the one who should be exiled! It's you!"

Wu Cailing ran over like a female ghost, with her fangs bared and her claws bared.

Lin Haitang turned around and looked at Wu Cailing who was rushing over. He kicked her and knocked her to the ground. Lin Haitang said sarcastically, "If you curse at me again, old man, I'll let you have a taste of jail time."

Wu Cailing was kicked so hard she clutched her chest, her face filled with shock. Then she started yelling, attracting everyone's attention: "This is outrageous! My own daughter is hitting her own mother! I've raised this daughter for nothing!"

Wu Cailing shouted and acted like a spoiled child, attracting everyone to come over and form a circle around them.

"How can you be so unfilial, girl?"

"That's right. No matter how wrong your mother is, she is still the one who gave birth to you and raised you. How can you hit an old woman?"

"Look at how nicely you're dressed, and then look at what your mother is wearing? What a jerk!"

The people who gathered around pointed at Lin Haitang, and Lin Haitang's face became colder and colder, while Wu Cailing cried harder and harder.

"It's not enough that you've harmed your brother so badly, you also want to beat me, your mother, to death? Your brother was exiled for you, you heartless man, how could I give birth to such a daughter!" Wu Cailing slapped her thigh and cried.

After hearing what Wu Cailing said, the people around her started to point fingers at Lin Haitang even more.

Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan were so angry that their eyes turned red. They shouted, "Shut up! That's not the case at all!"

The more they talked, the more people around them talked.

"You are filial and kind-hearted, so take this old thing home!" Lin Haitang said to a fat woman.

"And you, you dress well too, go buy her some clothes!" Lin Haitang said to the old man who was cursing harshly.

Lin Haitang's eyes also began to turn red, and she cried even harder than Wu Cailing, as if she was about to cry herself to death: "Mom, please know that you are my mom."

"Since I was little, you've made me sleep in the cowshed. My brother can eat eggs, but I can't even eat a second sweet potato. Fine, I'm your older sister, so I don't mind these things."

Lin Haitang cried to Wu Cailing, "But my brother is addicted to gambling. Not only did he squander all the family money, he even sold my son and daughter to human traffickers. Those people wanted to sell my children to brothels!"

"Mom, I'm a mother too. How can I tolerate others treating my child like this?"

Lin Haitang's heart-wrenching cry silenced the people around her. They had no idea that such a secret existed.

"Mother, the county magistrate was going to sentence my brother to death, but I pleaded for him and knelt before him for three hours, and only then was my brother spared!" Lin Haitang was heartbroken and said, "Mother, I did my best! He treated my child like this, yet I still saved him out of kinship!"

Now, the tone completely changed and everyone began to besiege Wu Cailing.

"You old woman! How can you still be so unsatisfied!"

"Your son brought this upon himself! I think he deserves death!"

"How can you not be satisfied with your daughter? You even throw dirty water on her. How can there be a mother like you!"

"Miss, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing."

"Yes, girl, I'm so sorry."

Several people apologized to Lin Haitang. Lin Haitang cried and shook her head, choking up and saying, "It's okay. You guys are kind-hearted. I can't blame you."

Wu Cailing didn't expect things to take such a turn. She shouted that it was unfair and ran away with her head covered.

Lin Haitang continued to cry, Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan also shed tears, supporting Lin Haitang on the left and right.

Everyone comforted Lin Haitang and gradually dispersed.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Lin Haitang stopped crying immediately. Her eyes were still red, but her face had returned to expressionless. She wiped away her tears and snorted coldly, "You're too young to fight with me."

Looking at Liu Wanwan and Zhao Xiangjun, who were stunned and had tears on their faces, Lin Haitang walked forward and said, "Why are you crying? I was just pretending."

Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan looked at each other, wiped their tears, and hurriedly followed.
