My mother-in-law actually married the prince

Lin Zhixin said, "12 taels. If that doesn't work, report it to the police."

The man replied, "Go and report it if you have the guts." Lin Zhixin thought, what if he can't give her the 30 taels later and she doesn't have any change on her.

The man looked fierce and shouted, "Don't even think about taking them away without money. 30 taels, not a cent less."

The man looked eagerly at the things they brought, thinking to himself that this family must be rich, as they could even afford an ox cart, but they brought them but didn't give them to him.

He kept calculating in his mind: if he sold his wife for 30 taels of silver, he could marry another one for just a few taels of silver, and he would still have more than 20 taels left. Wouldn't he be able to live a life of luxury?

Li Feng, who was standing by, was so angry that his face turned red and he just wanted to rush up and beat someone up.

The man's mother also said sarcastically:

"Humph, this daughter-in-law has only given birth to daughters since she came into the family. They are all money-losing goods and she can't even give birth to a son.

"After hearing this, Lin Zhixin immediately retorted angrily: "Aren't you a money-losing person yourself? You still have the nerve to criticize others.

"The man said arrogantly: "Anyway, I won't do it if the price is less than 30 taels.

"Lin Zhixin looked at the man's dead pig-like appearance and felt annoyed.

Lin Zhixin thought that she was not familiar with the laws of this dynasty, and she was not at an advantage in an argument.

She thought to herself that anything that could be solved with money was not a problem, and money could be earned again after it was gone.

She thought for a moment, pulled Li Feng aside, quietly took out 50 taels of silver notes from her other pocket, handed them to Li Feng, and said, "You and Goudan go to the town and exchange the taels of silver notes for silver.

You can go to the money shop to exchange it, or go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth and get a refund, and then take the things to the village chief's house first.

Lin Zhixin resolutely said she was going to the village chief's house with her daughter and several granddaughters. The man and his mother were afraid that they would run away, so they followed closely.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Lin Zhixin explained her purpose with a serious expression.

Village Chief Wang took two slow puffs of his cigarette, then tapped his pipe gently and said to the man thoughtfully:

"Wang Baogen, you only spent eight taels of silver when you bought Wan'er, and now you're asking for thirty taels. Isn't this extortion?

"Wang Baogen's neck stiffened and he yelled, "What's wrong with me blackmailing you? I support all of them without spending any money."

"The village chief frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "How can you talk like that?

Wan'er married into your family and worked tirelessly. Have you ever paid her wages in all the years she's worked for you?

Wang Baogen was dissatisfied and shouted, "What's the matter? I bought him for eight taels of silver. He is a slave and I am the master. What's wrong with the work he does?"

"The village chief looked serious and said in a deep voice: "You beat your wife and children every other day. If you report it to the officials, you will be in big trouble.

"When Wang Baogen heard this, he didn't dare to speak. He could not believe what others said, but he dared not disobey the words of the village chief.

Wang Baogen muttered, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Village Chief Wang stroked his beard and said, "How about this, Wan'er's mother, you should give him twenty taels.

Let Wang Baogen give you Wan'er's indenture contract.

"Lin Zhixin said decisively: "Okay." Lin Zhixin looked at Wan'er's slightly bulging belly, and thought of something, and added: "Village chief, you'd better help us write a document to sever the relationship, and make it clear that from now on, whether Wan'er is carrying a boy or a girl in her belly has nothing to do with them.

Wang Baogen listened from the side and said with a disdainful smile: "Huh, what can he give birth to? Besides giving birth to that money-losing child, what else can he give birth to?"

Village Chief Wang said slowly, "Originally, we should encourage reconciliation rather than divorce. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage.

"Village Chief Wang saw Wan'er's tearful and sorrowful eyes again, and thought of the suffering Wan'er had endured in their village over the years.

Village Chief Wang lightly picked at his pipe, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, all right, all right."

Then, Village Chief Wang turned to Wang Baogen and said sternly, "Once this document of severing the marriage is issued, don't regret it later.

"Wang Baogen gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "What's there to regret?" Thinking of the twenty taels of silver he was about to receive, he felt very happy, as if he had already seen his future days of eating and drinking well.
