The wife of two taels of silver

Early the next morning, Lin Haitang opened the window, breathed in some fresh air, stretched, raised her head to feel the warmth of the morning light, and felt very comfortable.

A gust of wind blew by, and Liu Sanyou stood in front of Lin Haitang with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Lin Haitang was startled by the gust of wind and leaned back. Looking at his dark circles, she asked tentatively, "Did you just get back?"

"No, I came back yesterday at midnight." Liu Sanyou answered indifferently.

Lin Haitang asked curiously, "Then why don't you go catch up on some sleep? It's not a big deal. You can tell me anytime. No need to wait."

Liu Sanyou stared at Lin Haitang expressionlessly for three seconds, crossed his arms over his chest, and said, "I can't sleep because of the great mental damage I've suffered. Lin Haitang, you must compensate me."

Lin Haitang was also very straightforward and made an OK gesture: "Okay, I'll give you an extra hundred taels, isn't that enough?"

Liu Sanyou closed his eyes, feeling that there were still those disgusting voices in his head, which he could not get rid of. He could only recite Taoist scriptures in his head.

"Your brother is not your child. He is yours with Liu Dashui. He was the one who asked your mother to come find you. They also planned to kill your father and take your money and use it to save their son, your brother." Liu Sanyou spoke these words mechanically with a flat tone without any fluctuation.

Lin Haitang was so disgusted that she froze in place. She never expected things to turn out like this.

Lin Haitang held onto the windowsill with both hands, an incredible look on his face, and said, "This is really..." Lin Haitang couldn't find any words to describe his mood at the moment, and could only frown and change his face.

After a long while, Lin Haitang said, "Sanyou, go and have a rest first. This is really hard work for you. Your ears are suffering."

Liu Sanyou turned and walked away expressionlessly, still reciting Taoist scriptures in his mind. He had already vomited once yesterday, and now he was even feeling like vomiting again.

“Wuwuwu—”

It’s Gu Chen. This child has a problem. When he wakes up and doesn’t see anyone, he will cry, but as soon as he sees someone, he will stop crying immediately.

Lin Haitang hurried to hug him, picked him up and patted him skillfully. Gu Chen stopped crying instantly, leaned in Lin Haitang's arms, and looked out with his big wet eyes.

Gu Chen is so handsome that Lin Haitang feels he is as pretty as a girl.

QQ──

Lin Haitang opened the door with one hand while holding the child, and Gu An was outside the door.

When she saw Gu An, Lin Haitang was stunned for a moment, staring at Gu An's face in a daze.

He didn't wear a mask today, and Lin Haitang was still a little uncomfortable with it.

Lin Haitang put away her expression and didn't ask. She subconsciously patted Gu Chen's back and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I heard Xiao Chen crying, so I came to see him," Gu An saw the astonishment on Lin Haitang's face. He was expecting Lin Haitang to ask him, but Lin Haitang said nothing. As usual, he felt a little lost.

"He woke up half an hour earlier than usual today." Gu An looked at Gu Chen who was lying on Lin Haitang.

Lin Haitang placed her hands under Gu Chen's armpits and lifted him up: "He must be watched while he sleeps. He will easily wake up if no one is around. It's okay."

He lifted it up and swung it in the air twice. Gu Chen chuckled, and Lin Haitang quickly put him down again: "This kid is heavy again, let you hold him."

Lin Haitang just thought that Gu An missed the child, so she threw Gu Chen into his arms.

As soon as he sat in Gu An's arms, Gu Chen grabbed his index finger with his small hand. Gu An's expression became even gentler, and he said, "I just heard what you and Liu Sanyou said."

"Oh." Lin Haitang didn't think it was a big deal. It would be strange if she couldn't hear it. She and Liu Sanyou didn't deliberately lower their voices. Gu An was a martial artist, so it was unreasonable for him not to hear it.

"What are you going to do?" Gu An looked at Lin Haitang who went to drink water. Gu An also realized that as long as Lin Haitang was there, his eyes would unconsciously follow her.

Lin Haitang put down the milky white quilt, raised her eyelids, and said, "Of course I won't let them have an easy time."

Two days later, Lin Haitang returned to Shang'anhe Village.

"Haitang, are you here to see your parents again?" Someone spoke to Lin Haitang as soon as she got off the carriage.

Lin Haitang looked a little worried and said, "Yes, I gave them ten taels of silver a few days ago. I was afraid they wouldn't want to spend it, so I thought of coming to see them today."

Hey!

Ten taels of silver!

The villagers were shocked. After Lin Haitang left, they began to say, "Oh my God, why don't I have a daughter who gives me ten taels of silver every time she comes?"

"Huh, wasn't this money earned in exchange for Gu An's leg? If that's the case, I'd rather not take the money. She still spends it lavishly. She really doesn't know how to care for her man." Some people also spoke sourly.

As soon as Lin Haitang entered the room, she placed ten taels of silver on the table. Wu Cailing saw the silver like a hungry wolf seeing meat, her eyes lighting up. She hurried over, grabbed the silver with both hands and stuffed it into her sleeves. The expression on her face when she grabbed the silver was exactly the same as when Rong Mama pricked Ziwei with a needle. Then, with her hands, which were not sure whether they had been washed or not, she grabbed Lin Haitang and said, "My son, mother knew you were a filial son."

"Mom, what's wrong with me?" Lin Haitang suppressed her nausea and spoke to her insincerely.

Wu Cailing started pretending to cry: "Your father took the medicine and was fine for a day, but then his condition got worse. It's even worse than the last two days. Today he can't even open his eyes. I'm afraid he's dying soon."

Lin Haitang sneered in her heart. She knew that Wu Cailing had never given Lin Guangzong any medicine from the beginning to the end.

The grief on Lin Haitang's face became more obvious. She said, "How could this happen? I had planned to buy you a small courtyard in the county town after Dad recovered, and give you fifty taels a month so that you could live well in your old age."

Wu Cailing's grip tightened, her eyes wide open, her entire eyeballs seemingly exposed. She said, "Daughter, it's okay to take your father over now. Let him have a few last days of good life."

Lin Haitang cried and shook her head, saying, "Mom, no, I asked a fortune teller to tell Dad's fortune. Dad will either be cured or die. Only under these two circumstances can we move. Otherwise, the disease will be passed on to you, and then you will become like my dad."

Lin Haitang turned her head to look at the inner room, which was three degrees darker than the living room, and tears fell. "Wanwan can't cure this disease. It seems that you can only move to the city after Dad passes away."

Wu Cailing's face changed from happy to surprised. She stared at the door of the inner room, thinking about Lin Haitang's words again and again in her mind. A sinister thought came to her mind, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously.

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk. You and Dad should have a good rest at home." Lin Haitang stood up with his back to the light. It was a pity that Wu Cailing didn't look up at this time, otherwise she would find that although Lin Haitang's voice was gentle, the way he looked at her was like a dead person.

"Yeah." Wu Cailing nodded perfunctorily. Her attention was not on Lin Haitang at all. She was thinking about her own idea in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. She was so excited that her heart was beating wildly.

By the time Wu Cailing reacted, Lin Haitang was no longer in the room. She looked at Lin Guangzong lying on the bed and thought: Lin Guangzong, Lin Guangzong, you are going to die anyway, it doesn't matter if you die a few days earlier, but don't blame me.

Lin Haitang did not leave, but hid behind a wall not far away. After a while, she quietly stuck her head out and looked outside. Sure enough, she saw Wu Cailing go out and walk towards the back mountain of the village.

Lin Haitang knew that Wu Cailing had gone to find Liu Dashui. She put her hands behind her back and slowly walked to Lin Guangzong's house.

With a flash, Lin Haitang entered the space, got a small cup of spiritual spring water, and then came out.

Lin Haitang held the small cup of water and walked quietly to Lin Guangzong's bed. She lowered her eyes and saw that Lin Guangzong's eyes were no longer closed, and only his weak breathing showed that he was not dead yet.

Lin Haitang looked around, tore off a piece of cloth from his bed guard, frowned at Lin Guangzong with disgust on her face, then pinched Lin Guangzong's cheeks and forced him to open his mouth.

Lin Guangzong opened his eyes slightly, and before he could see who was in front of him, he felt a stream of cool water entering his mouth.

Lin Guangzong couldn't wait to put all the liquid into his mouth and swallowed it quickly.

The spiritual spring water will not cure Lin Guangzong's illness, but it can cheer him up.

Lin Guangzong felt his mind was much clearer, and he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Lin Haitang. He cried, "My daughter!"

Lin Haitang sneered and started crying with him: "Dad, I just found out that my brother is not your child. How could Mom be like this..."

Lin Haitang quietly moved her hands away from her eyes, and seeing Lin Guangzong's distorted face, Lin Haitang decided to add fuel to the fire.

"But Dad, she is my biological mother. I can't just abandon her. Dad, just pretend you don't know about this. When you recover in a few days, I will take you to the city and let you live out your days."

Lin Guangzong said viciously: "I can't swallow this! Your mother wants to kill me, but I can't kill her!"

Hearing this, Lin Haitang cried even harder and shook her head, saying, "Dad, you can't do this. That's my mother. Although, although I asked a master to tell you about your fortune, and he said that only after my mother dies can you live out your life in peace..."

Lin Haitang was in a dilemma and looked at Lin Guangzong pleadingly: "Dad, please promise me that you will only divorce my mother and don't beat her, okay?"

Lin Guangzong was panting heavily, and the air was filled with the sour smell and bad breath of his body. Lin Haitang kept moving forward.

Lin Guangzong looked at Lin Haitang with a sinister expression and said, "Haitang, you are my only daughter. You must provide for me in my old age. Give me that house in the city."

Pooh!

Lin Haitang cursed in her heart, then cried, "Dad, I'll give it to you, but you have to promise me that you won't beat my mother. Just divorce her, okay?"

Hearing that Lin Haitang was going to give him the house, he felt slightly satisfied. Then he half-closed his eyelids and said, "I won't hit her."

"That's good," Lin Haitang said happily, "Dad, you can have a rest. I'm leaving now. I gave Mom ten taels of silver today. Ask her to buy you whatever you want to eat."

Lin Guangzong didn't move on the bed. Lin Haitang almost vomited when she saw him, so she quickly got out.

The sun shone on her body, and Lin Haitang stood there for a long time, hoping that the sun would dry out the bad luck she had picked up in the house.

Lin Haitang got on the carriage, and Gu An was waiting for him inside. This time, only Gu An and Zhang Ben followed him.

Lin Haitang had an expression as if the problem was finally solved. Her legs were stretched out, her feet were swinging open and closed, her hands were supported behind her, her face was full of joy, and she was humming a song.

Gu An had never seen Lin Haitang so complacent before. He felt his heart was struck again. He asked with a curled lip corner: "Can you tell me how you dealt with them?"

Lin Haitang smiled slyly and said, "Let them kill each other. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, even in the worst case scenario, you will hear the news of one of them dying."

Gu An stared at Lin Haitang intently. Lin Haitang felt annoyed and frowned, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think I'm too mean? Okay, then you can go live with them, be a good son-in-law to them, and serve them well. No one will stop you."

Lin Haitang glared at Gu An sideways.

Gu An chuckled softly, and Lin Haitang became even angrier: "What are you laughing at!"

"You're so cute." Gu An smiled again.

Lin Haitang choked and looked at him as if he were a lunatic: "Are you sick?"

Being scolded and still laughing so happily, and even praising others for scolding them, this is really a serious illness.

Gu An looked at Lin Haitang's little expression and laughed out loud.

Lin Haitang was even more annoyed: "Tsk! Turn your head away, don't look!"

Gu An turned his head obediently.

Let’s talk about Lin Guangzong and Wu Cailing.

After Lin Haitang left, Lin Guangzong sat up and climbed down from the bed with great effort, taking a breath after each step. Finally, he crawled to the yard and found a stick. He gritted his teeth, used the stick to support himself, and stood up tremblingly. He walked to the kitchen with the stick and found a rusty kitchen knife.

Lin Guangzong was panting heavily. Walking this distance seemed to cost him his life, but this was much better than before. Before, he had difficulty even moving a finger.

Lin Guangzong lay on the bed and hid the kitchen knife under his pillow. He calmed his breathing and pretended to be half-dead as before.

In the back mountain, Wu Cailing met with Liu Dashui and told him what Lin Haitang had said. Liu Dashui rubbed his hands together, walked back and forth a few steps, then clapped his hands and said, "That's easy. Let's go buy some arsenic and poison him to death!"

Wu Cailing listened to Liu Dashui's advice. He went to the village doctor's house to buy arsenic and made an excuse for himself: "I bought some arsenic to poison the rats in my house. There are so many rats at home, they crawl all over my bed every day!"

When he returned home and saw Lin Guangzong still sleeping, he took the teapot outside and hurriedly poured arsenic into the teapot.

Wu Cailing was too panicked. She looked up and around from time to time while poisoning. A lot of arsenic was spilled out. Finally, it was all poured out. Wu Cailing hurriedly wiped the powder on the table with her sleeve, and then shook the kettle in her hand.

At the door, Wu Cailing took a deep breath to slow her pounding heart, then she tiptoed into the house and placed the teapot on the table.

Lin Guangzong really fell asleep on the bed. This was the first good sleep he had since he fell ill.
