The wife of two taels of silver

Three days later, Lin Haitang received the news of the death of Wu Cailing and Lin Guangzong. Both of them were dead.

Everyone in the village knew that Lin Guangzong's family was rich now, and he had a daughter who gave ten taels of silver every time she came. Ten taels of silver was not a small amount of money. This money was enough for a whole family to eat for a year, not to mention that Lin Guangzong's family had more than ten taels. Therefore, Lin Guangzong's family also attracted some thieves.

Qi Mantang has been unlucky recently and hasn't been to Zui Xiang Lou to see his Xiao Cui for a long time. He also heard about Lin Haitang recently. When he learned that Lin Haitang casually gave her parents ten taels of silver, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

What was Lin Haitang like before? She didn't dare to look up at him when she was in front of him. Her clothes were dirty. When she spoke to him, her voice was like a mosquito's hum. Her hands were always tightly twisted in her sleeves. Whenever he spoke, Lin Haitang's face would turn red.

At that time, Lin Haitang put all her thoughts on him, just because he could say some nice words. Her son and daughter were almost starving to death, but she kept all the eggs and meat for him. At that time, he looked down on Lin Haitang and only gave her a good face when he took things from her. Now, it is difficult for him to even see Lin Haitang.

Qi Mantang's face was as black as the ash at the bottom of a pot. He spat on the ground and cursed inwardly. The sound of his parents coughing came into his ears, making him even more annoyed. He raised his foot and kicked over the stool that was about to fall apart, and the stool broke into pieces in an instant.

The cough was muffled, probably because he covered his mouth with his hand.

Qi Mantang began to rummage through the drawers and threw things everywhere. He searched the entire house but couldn't find a single penny.

Bang!

Qi Mantang kicked over another stool, and with a loud clatter, he leaned over and cried out in pain. He had used too much force and strained his waist.

Lin Guangzong's family was wealthy. Qi Mantang suddenly had an idea and was instantly overjoyed.

It was a dark and windy night. A hand was clinging to the top of the wall of Lin Guangzong's house, and a head popped out. It was Qi Mantang. He bared his teeth and twisted his mouth, hugged the top of the wall tightly, and leaned his upper body on the wall to catch his breath. After resting for a while, he lifted his feet up.

With great effort, Qi Mantang jumped into the yard of Lin Guangzong's house. He almost sprained his ankle when he jumped down. Now he was holding his foot and opening his mouth silently.

There were no lights on in the room, so he must have gone to bed. He was an old man, so he wouldn't stay up so late. Qi Mantang tiptoed inside.

Squeak—

Qi Mantang gently pushed the door open and stopped instantly. He paused for two seconds to make sure there was no sound coming from the room before continuing to walk inside.

The room was too dark, so Qi Mantang took out the tinder that he had bought at a high price, blew it gently, and the tinder lit up, illuminating the small space around him.

Looking around, there was no place to hide the money in the main room. Qi Mantang tiptoed to the inner room. He shone his hand on the wall, trying to find where the wardrobe was.

Suddenly, his feet were tripped by something and Qi Mantang almost fell down. He took a deep breath, balanced his body, and extended the fire lighter downwards.

“Aa ...

A bluish-gray face came into view, the eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs looked like they were about to fall out. There were dried black blood stains at the corners of the mouth, and there was a large pool of dried blood under the face that was close to the ground.

This is Lin Guangzong.

Qi Mantang was so frightened that he squatted on the ground. The fire starter rolled several times in the air, fell to the ground and rolled to an unknown place. It stopped rolling only when it was blocked by something.

Qi Mantang crawled backwards with trembling legs, his pants soaked with urine.

Looking towards the place where the tinder stopped, the screams became louder.

Wu Cailing fell in a pool of blood, her neck bent at a strange angle, staring at Qi Mantang with wide eyes.

Qi Mantang tumbled and crawled out, opened the door trembling, and shouted, "Someone's dead!"

"Dead! Dead!"

"Ah ...

Qi Mantang woke up all the villagers nearby. Soon someone came out with a lantern and saw Qi Mantang running wildly on the road, shouting that someone was dead.

Someone stopped Qi Mantang and asked him what was wrong. Qi Mantang was so scared that he looked like he had seen a ghost. He kept saying that someone was dead. He only came to his senses after being slapped twice.

“Someone’s dead there!”

"Lin, Lin, Lin Guangzong and his wife are all dead!" Qi Mantang said tremblingly, with a smell of urine all over his body.

The villagers who gathered around were horrified and quickly knocked on the village chief's door.

Lin Haitang has been getting up very early these days, and she frowns every morning when she wakes up.

There was no other reason. Lin Haitang hadn't had a single dream in the past few days, and they were all the same dream, the same dream she had about Gu An before. The fool in the dream said that she wanted to be with Gu An in the next life.

Lin Haitang's face was dark, and his fists were clenched and relaxed.

She doesn't like Gu An now and has no feelings for him. They are just ordinary friends at most. Lin Haitang plans to break free from the shackles of her previous life.

The door next to him rang and Gu An also got up.

"Hey, your leg should be much better now, right?" Lin Haitang lay on the windowsill and tilted her head to look at Gu An.

Gu An chuckled and nodded, saying, "I feel much better now, thank you."

"Well," Lin Haitang said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Wanwan. It's Wanwan's medical skills that are so good."

The morning breeze blew Lin Haitang's hair, and her long earrings swayed slightly with Lin Haitang's movements. In Gu An's eyes, every expression of Lin Haitang seemed to be in slow motion. Gu An stared at Lin Haitang's rosy lips and was distracted.

"Hey!" Lin Haitang waved her hand and frowned, "Did you hear what I just said?"

"What?" Gu An came back to his senses.

Lin Haitang sighed and repeated, "We're getting a divorce. If you're worried about Momo and Lanlan, then we can keep it a secret from the children and divorce privately, but we'll still live together in this courtyard."

In an instant, there was only the wind pushing the air flow in the air, without a sound.

Gu An was silent for a while and said, "I don't want to divorce."

Lin Haitang was truly annoyed. She sighed, frowned, and asked, "The reason is, just keep it a secret from the two children. What else are you worried about?"

Gu An stared at Lin Haitang's face, his eyes filled with affection. He said, "I like you. I want to be your husband and wife for the rest of my life."

The air was very quiet, and Lin Haitang froze in place, not moving.

Lin Haitang really didn't expect Gu An to say such a thing.

"But I don't like you, Gu An. You are a bondage to me now. You are like iron chains, firmly binding my hands and feet. I want to divorce you. I want to break free from this bondage. Do you understand?"

Lin Haitang spoke word by word, her voice gentle but her words cold.

The air is stagnant.

At this moment, Zhang ran over and shouted to the two people: "Madam, Master, someone from the village came and said that Lin Guangzong and Wu Cailing are dead!"
