Lin Dachang gritted his teeth and said:
"Then let's sell Lin Ze, Lin Han, and this lucky star, right?
My daughter is a lucky star, can I give her as payment to you?"
Those people looked at the three children and frowned:
"What are these three children worth? They're not good-looking, who would like them?
But if you really can’t come out, it’s not impossible…”
Sun Mei lost control. She stumbled over and said, "No, not with these three kids. How much do you owe? Lin Dachang, I hate you so much."
Lin Dachang looked at her and sneered, "Twenty taels of silver, Sun Mei, don't think I don't know what your weakness is."
Old Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes and laughed, "So it's these three children!"
Sun Mei was so angry that her face turned pale. She took out a gold ingot from her hair. Two taels of gold could be exchanged for exactly twenty taels of silver.
The thugs took the money and said, "Bah! If you had money, why didn't you take it out earlier? Why did you have to be beaten like this?"
Sun Mei was so angry that she was shaking. She looked at Lin Dachang intently and said, "Lin Dachang, I can't live with you anymore. You better take care of yourself!"
Lin Dachang sneered, "You still want to make trouble? Think about these kids!"
"You...you are simply a beast." Sun Mei was really pissed off by him.
After the group left, Lin Dachang slapped her in the face and said:
"Think carefully, what kind of life can you live without my Lin family?
Also, you said she is a lucky star, is she really a lucky star?
Why is my luck so bad? I think this kid is a disaster."
Sun Mei slapped him twice and said:
"I think you are mentally ill. You had a good life, but you insisted on going to Hua Niang and gambling.
Now you dare to blame my daughter. Let me tell you, my daughter must be a lucky star. Even if she is not a lucky star, she must be a lucky star, otherwise our whole family will die.
Why do you think the village chief is so kind to us? Isn't it because this child can bring blessings to Linjia Village?
Think about it carefully! "
Lin Dasheng hugged Lin Zaozao and said, "Yes, our Zaozao is the most blessed. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't even have enough to eat."
Sun Mei then stood up and looked at Old Lady Lin and Old Man Lin coldly and said:
"If you want to save him, I have no objection. Even if his leg is broken, I think it's a good thing that it's broken.
You don't have to go out gambling anymore. Think it over carefully. If you can get along, get along. If you can't, then live separately."
Old Mrs. Lin burst into tears: "Dachang! What should I do? Wuuuuuu... Can't you just stop going out to gamble?"
Lin Dachang turned around and said:
"Mom, why are you crying? It's very unlucky. I will be fine in the future.
Please find a way to heal my leg quickly. As long as someone can heal it, it will be fine."
Old Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and looked at Old Man Lin. Old Man Lin sighed and said, "Where can we get the money to treat your leg?"
"No money? Mom! I don't want to lie in bed forever! Mom..." Lin Dachang looked at Old Mrs. Lin pitifully.
Old Mrs. Lin also started to cry. She looked at Sun Mei and said, "Old man, he knows he's wrong. Can you please save him?"
Sun Mei looked at them both coldly and said:
"Where would I get the money? I don't have any money on me anymore.
It's no use begging me, this guy will only behave himself if he lies down in bed."
Lin Dachang burst into tears: "Meimei, can you help me again? When I get to the capital and pass the imperial examination, you will be his wife!"
Lin Dachang is good at making big promises. In fact, Sun Mei was brainwashed by him before, and always believed that he could pass the exam to become a scholar, and if he worked harder, he might even be able to become the top scorer.
Sun Mei wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "With a man like you who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble and whore, how could I expect you to pass the imperial examination?"
Lin Dachang looked at her and said:
"But after all, I am also an educated person. If I really can't do it, I can at least teach my two children to read and write.
How about you just help me look after their legs and I'll teach them to read and write?
Don’t you want them to become the top scholar? It’s too late for them to learn to read now.”
"Oh... I don't believe you. Even if your leg is cured, you might go gambling again. I have no way to stop you.
But if you teach them to read and write, I can give you something to eat. Think it over carefully." Sun Mei glanced at him calmly and said nothing more.
Lin Dachang was unwilling to do so, because if he continued like this, he would become a useless person. He looked at Lin Dasheng and said, "Dasheng! Save me!"
Lin Dasheng looked at him and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to save you, I just don't have any money!"
Lin Dachang closed his eyes in anger. Sun Mei was also thinking about this matter. Even if she went to Bian Jing in the future and lived with Manager Sun, what would happen to the children?
Steward Sun is a family slave. If the child really stays with him, there will be no hope for him to go to school in the future. This is what she has always been worried about.
The children of domestic slaves usually had a much lower social status than the children of ordinary families.
They often do not have the opportunity to receive formal education. Children from ordinary families may learn to read and write in private schools, laying the foundation for future imperial examinations or other careers.
The children of domestic slaves were basically deprived of the right to go to school and could only perform various heavy physical labor at the behest of their masters.
If she really followed Manager Sun, her child would have to be a slave for life, which she didn't want.
But Lin Dachang is too useless. Sun Mei sighed and then found the village chief.
The village chief was discussing the next itinerary with his brothers when he saw Sun Mei. He looked at Sun Mei and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Sun Mei nodded and said, "Village Chief, let's talk here."
The village chief nodded and followed her into a forest. He asked, "Sun Mei, what do you want from me?"
"Village chief, I believe you know about my family's situation. Can you help me? I'm running out of food at home." Sun Mei looked at him and said.
It is true that Sun Mei's family has no food now. She originally planned to go to Baihua City to buy some food, but she didn't know that the two taels of gold could not be kept.
The village chief sighed and said, "Sun Mei! I have done my best for your family. You know how difficult it has been for everyone in this disaster year..."
Sun Mei bit her lip and said:
"I know, am I not trying to find a way to contact the Sun family?
As long as you contact the Sun family, I promise to take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Village chief Lin Tugen looked at her and said:
"Sun Mei, do you know what I want?
I told you very clearly last time, have you thought it through?"
Sun Mei looked at him and said, "No, no... I..."
Lin Tugen hugged her and said:
"Sun Mei, don't play dumb. I just like you as a person. What's the point of you and that loser Lin Dachang?
Follow me, and I will guarantee your safety and that of your child, and give you food."
