The boss burst into tears as he spoke, and Lin's heart was torn as he listened.

Posthumous affairs are always a big deal. If they are treated so perfunctorily, not only the parents but also others will be extremely angry when hearing about it.

But she didn't expect that the next development would make her even more heartbroken.

"When my wife heard about this, she went crazy looking for her daughter, but I was busy going to the coffin shop to order a coffin for Xiao Wan, so I was a step too late...

"I didn't expect that Xiao Wan could be found, and my wife was completely eaten by hyenas in the mass grave... My home was gone overnight."

Listening to the boss's sobbing, a prompt sound suddenly rang in Lin Qing's mind.

[Ding. The side quest, "Fang Ling Yong Ji" has been opened. Quest difficulty: ★★★★. Completing the quest will reward you with Chef Yu Jia. Your personal power points will increase depending on the situation.]

Lin Qing felt mixed emotions, as if he had a breath blocked and was at a loss for words.

According to what the boss just said, it is not difficult to infer that the Jia family is disregarding human life, and this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, otherwise how could they be so familiar with it.

It's totally inhumane and extremely hateful!

A family was torn apart by the Jia family in a blink of an eye...

Lin Qing looked at the way Jingjing drank the soup, and felt even more horrified when he thought about it carefully.

If this little girl really married into the Jia family, would she become the next Xiao Wan?

In the past, unknown to her, how many girls had fallen into the hands of thieves, and how many families had been destroyed...

Lin Qing clenched his fists, wishing he could raze the Jia Mansion to the ground immediately.

And there's that county magistrate who can't tell right from wrong and is birds of a feather!

She is not a saint who wants to solve all injustices, but she feels it is her duty to help those in need when she sees injustice.

So we must find a way to get rid of these termites as soon as possible!

Lin Qing tried hard to suppress the anger surging in her heart and said, "I'm sorry, boss, for reminding you of the sad past. Now that you've said that, I understand. I have to cancel the engagement and stay away from the Jia family."

When the boss heard her say this, he smiled with satisfaction but bitterness.

"Oh, that's right! It's a pity that if someone had reminded me of this at the beginning, I would not have sent Xiao Wan to the Jia Mansion even if I had to risk my life and offend everyone at Shuangxi Restaurant."

Shuangxi Restaurant?

Lin Qing was very sensitive to these words and immediately felt something was wrong. He asked, "Boss, why did you say that this would offend Shuangxi Restaurant? What does this have to do with them?"

The boss suddenly kept silent and turned around to greet other customers.

Lin Qing looked up at the Shuangxi Restaurant across the street, which was doing a booming business. Suddenly, he felt that its open door was like the mouth of a monster. The aroma of food wafting from inside became a kind of aphrodisiac, attracting passers-by to come in and then devouring them.

"Madam, don't try to help Lao Yu just because he's pitiful."

Suddenly, an old voice was heard. Lin Qing looked over and found that it was an old man selling vegetables with a shoulder pole.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his hair was disheveled and dry, his clothes were tattered, and the vegetables in the basket were listless and yellow.

Lin Qing couldn't stand seeing people working so hard at their age, so he smiled and asked, "What do you mean, old man?"

The old man put down his shoulder pole, wiped the sweat from his forehead, a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he lowered his voice and said:

"We all know Old Yu is pitiful, but who isn't pitiful in this world? At least his family still has the betrothal gifts sent by the Jia family, enough for him to live on for the rest of his life, but what do we have?"

The old man seemed not to notice that Lin Qing's expression was a little off. He winked and continued, "He was willing to endure the hardship and come out to do business. If I were like him, young, rich, and my wife had died, I would wake up laughing in my dreams every day!"

Lin Tingting was actually quite envious of him. His sympathy for the old man instantly dropped to freezing point, and his tone became a little colder.

"But this Boss Yu has lost his family and his wife and children. How can we not feel sorry for him?"

"Hey, that's nothing!"

The old man waved his hands, as if he was discussing the weather as if it was nothing unusual.

"Daughters and daughters-in-law are both money-losing goods. Old Yu is just too careless to let go! If you don't believe me, ask around and you'll see how many people are hoping to marry their daughters into the Jia family. Is there another kindhearted man like Master Jia in Anping Town?"

The old man spat and said angrily, "It's a pity that those money-losing girls in our family either married sour scholars or farmers at an early age. They can't even provide subsidies to their parents' families. What's the use!"

Seeing him sighing and cursing the heavens for not letting him catch up with the "good times", Lin Qing was really dumbfounded, and in a moment he was burned by the nameless karma fire and almost lost his mind.

She never thought that there would be such a shameless father in the world who treated his daughter as an object!

No, maybe not even as good as an object!

In his eyes, his daughter is probably just a pawn in his quest for wealth and fame!

Zhao'er's father still had some conscience and gave his daughter a chance to survive, but the man in front of him is completely inhumane.

Lin Qing gritted her teeth and asked, "According to what the old man said, women are all money-losing goods. If a money-losing goods gave birth to you, wouldn't you be even worse than a money-losing goods?"

Without waiting for the other party to refute, Lin Qing continued to fire at full force.

"Besides, things like yours, which are worse than losing money, are getting old and can't be sold at a high price. Just like the old vegetables in your basket, they are disgusting just by looking at them, let alone buying them home."

"you you you……"

The old man pointed at Lin Qing with trembling fingers, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"No one will want a woman like you! Even if you get married, you'll bring about the death of your husband..."

He was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly doused with a pot of water, soaking him completely.

The water smells sour and astringent, and has an indescribable rancid smell...

It also contains vegetable leaves and broken noodles.

Turning his head to look at Yu Jia who was putting away the泔水袋, the old man instantly understood what was going on.

"You are so ungrateful, Yu Jia, that you dare to use such a filthy thing to abuse me..."

A pair of cloudy eyes glanced back and forth at Lin Qing and Yu Jia's faces, and suddenly a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Oh~ I was wondering why, Yu Jia, you're so protective of this little girl. You two must have some hidden relationship, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, he was drenched in cold water again.

Lin Qing put the pot heavily back on the stove, thinking that it was a good thing that the pot was not big, otherwise she would not be able to lift so much water.

The onlookers couldn't help but cheer.

This pot is neither big nor small. Even with the water in it, it weighs at least 20 kilograms. This woman can lift it so easily. She must have supernatural powers!

Lin Qing clapped his hands and sneered, "You should be thankful that the water in this pot isn't boiling, boss. Otherwise, not only would your rotten tongue, but your entire body would be in trouble!"

The old man was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He used to be invincible in scolding people in the whole town, but he had never suffered such a loss!
