In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

She, Old Lady Lin!

I will never be a sinner of the Lin family!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin's momentum suddenly rose, and she rejected the village chief Wang Dakuo verbally:

"This is impossible!"

"These seven offenses cover a wide range of issues. Disobeying one's parents is one thing, but I'll also make amends to Miaomiao."

"But it also includes childlessness, adultery, and theft!"

"These three are things I absolutely cannot agree to. If I have no children, doesn't that mean my Lin family will be extinct?"

"As for the allegation of adultery... that's even worse. My Sanlang is a scholar, a scholar! What matters to him is his reputation. If something like this happens, how will my Sanlang even have the dignity to take the exam and become an official?"

"Theft is a serious offense. How can this be tolerated in the village?"

Old Mrs. Lin gave a series of examples to find sufficient reasons for not signing such a contract.

She even stated that it was okay if things didn't go her way, because she tolerated it in order to make amends.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Lin looked at the village chief Wang Dakuo with confidence, but found that everyone was staring at her with strange eyes.

"Childless? Isn't this caused by your Lin family?"

"Lewd, Old Lady Lin really says whatever she wants. I was wondering how someone could be so shameless. If Miaomiao had been more thoughtful, someone else would have married her off long ago. How could the Lin family have any business at all?"

"Stealing. We've watched Miaomiao grow up. Aside from some conflicts with Wang Shen, she's never done anything out of line. It's clear that Old Lady Lin isn't sincere."

"That's right! Old Lady Lin isn't sincere in her request, so drive her away!"

"..."

Faced with the crowd's clamor, Old Mrs. Lin's face turned green.

She never expected that the Wang family members in Wangjia Village would be so united.

An old face looked at the village chief Wang Dakuo.

Wang Dakuo shrugged and spread his hands:

"Mrs. Lin, you saw it too."

"At least for now, our Miaomiao's character is impeccable."

"If the things you mentioned happened after I married into your family, wouldn't you reflect on yourself or Lin Ze and ask if you did something wrong?"

"That will cause the seedlings to go bad."

After this complete series of punches, Old Mrs. Lin almost had a heart attack in front of everyone in Wangjia Village.

Consider...was it because they didn't do well enough that Wang Miaomiao became bad?

Is this what people say?

The dizziness in her brain intensified, and Mrs. Lin sat down on the ground.

It took me a long time to recover.

She raised her head, looked at Wang Dakuo and said:

"Yes, my Lin family agreed."

But in her heart she was thinking: You'd better pray that she can survive and reach the southern border.

If an accident happens along the way, it’s not our fault.

Signing such a contract could really be a lifelong stain for her youngest son.

But in order to survive, this compromise is necessary.

"Bring pen, ink and paper!" Wang Dakuo shouted loudly, and Wang Mang responded from a distance and took action immediately.

Old Mrs. Lin stood up and walked towards the back of Wangjia Village, staggering with every step.

Wang Jizu watched Wang Mang go to his house to get something, and asked Shen Qian:

"Auntie, Sister Miaomiao is getting married..."

"We've already severed our relationship, and I won't ask what happens to her." Shen Qian didn't wait for Wang Jizu to finish and directly expressed her attitude forcefully.

Instead of getting involved in other people's feelings and being resented, it is better to relax completely.

Eat well, drink well, dress well, and do something better than being hated by others?

Wang Jizu expressed his great approval of Shen Qian's ruthless behavior.

It was Wang Wu, however, who watched his mother's back as she got off the carriage.

Lost in thought:

So, did my mother really break off the relationship?

Brother, sister, from now on they are no longer a family...

Thinking of this, memories of his brother Wang Qingliu and elder sister Wang Miaomiao kept emerging in Wang Wu's mind.

Boundless sadness burst out in my heart.

But when I think of my brother and sister, they seem to have really disappointed my mother.

Even my mother forgave my fifth and sixth brothers who stole money from home to visit prostitutes in brothels after giving them a lecture.

Wang Wu felt mixed emotions.

I secretly thought: I shouldn’t... be abandoned by my mother, right?

......

The words are divided into two parts.

Old Mrs. Lin told Lin Ze about the agreement with the village chief, and Lin Ze jumped up instantly.

A sharp refusal:

"Mother! How can you agree to such a thing?"

"I'm a scholar. How could a scholar tolerate the seven grounds for divorce? You... Hey, you're so confused!"

As Lin Ze spoke, he kept walking around Old Lady Lin and Shen Qian.

Anxiety was written all over his face.

At this time, Mrs. Lin spoke calmly:

"Mother agreed, and she also had her own considerations."

"Don't you know what Wang Miaomiao's body looks like?"

"Marrying into our family will require more trials and tribulations along the way."

"Could she possibly hold on until the Southern Territory to get married?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if she got married today in front of the villagers and we didn't register, you would still be unmarried after arriving in the southern border. Why worry so much?"

"Right now, we must rely on the help of Wangjia Village to reach the southern border safely. At that time, the worst that can happen is that these people will be settled far away from Wangjia Village."

Lin Ze listened to his mother's explanation.

I felt a lot more relieved.

Although he was still reluctant, he finally nodded.

"Then let's do as mother wishes." Lin Ze sighed and agreed.

Seeing Lin Ze let go, Old Lady Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking Lin Ze, he walked towards Wangjia Village.

Beside him, the second daughter-in-law was pushing the stroller forward with her two children.

Chamber of Commerce President Wei Liangping was sitting next to the carriage, enjoying the cool breeze. He watched the old woman who had sold him the news push the cart forward, and his heart was filled with doubts:

Wasn’t she expelled from the village ahead?

How dare you move forward?

Thinking about this, Wei Liangping beckoned a servant to the side and whispered:

"Follow them and see what's going on."

"Yes!" The servant responded and followed carefully, using the crowd and vehicles as cover.

However, the two teams were several dozen meters apart, and there was a gap in the middle, so the servants did not dare to follow.

We could only wait until they pushed the cart into Wangjia Village and then walk over slowly.

They also had to give a reason to deal with the soldiers and patrols on duty in Wangjia Village.

After following them all the way, I finally saw the old lady of the Lin family meeting the patriarch of Wangjia Village.

When the servant saw this, he secretly ran back and brought back the news.

After hearing this, Wei Liangping frowned.

Did the old woman meet with the village chief? Was she saying something bad about me?

Thinking of the scene of taking out a hundred taels of silver notes commonly used in border areas that day, I couldn't help but shudder.

He was well aware of the threat posed by the enemy's more than one hundred heavily armored infantrymen.

Even if he is privately raised, his combat capability is definitely not comparable to that of his own guards.

"Go and take another look." Wei Liangping shouted in a low voice.

"Yes!" The servant took the order and trotted forward.

......

The words are divided into two parts.

Old Mrs. Lin was witnessed by everyone.

The contract was actually signed.

Including his son Lin Ze, he also cooperated and put his fingerprints on it.

Then everyone in Wangjia Village burst into cheers:

"Signed! Miaomiao finally finds her spouse!"

"Although the person I chose wasn't very good, at least the child's wish was fulfilled."

"Lin Ze, you have to treat Miao Miao well, otherwise we will expel you at any time."

"Yes! Miaomiao and you are happily married today, but if you ever betray her in the future, we will not show mercy and will expel you directly."

"..."

Lin Ze felt a headache when he heard those people agreeing.

But he still nodded in response.

Under Wang Mang's guidance, Wang Miaomiao returned to Lin Ze's side.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Coupled with blurred vision, I can't see clearly at all now.

She fell directly on Lin Ze, crying inconsolably.

Lin Ze seemed to be moved by her crying, and the guilt hidden in his heart slowly surfaced.

not far away.

County Lieutenant Liu Sheng looked at it and felt something in his heart.

It seems like I carry part of my household registration?

Thinking of this, he started to look for the book in the box.

After a while, he actually found the household registration book belonging to Wangjia Village. After looking through it, he found the Lin family.

Holding the household registration book, Liu Sheng strode towards the crowd.

The villagers naturally made way for them.

Ordinary people are naturally afraid of officials.

Coming to Lin Ze and Wang Miaomiao, Liu Sheng cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Since the two of you have made an engagement today."

"I think it's better to just get married. This time, this county lieutenant came out and, by chance, brought the household registration of Pingyang County with him. I also happened to find everyone from Wangjia Village in the household registration book."

"Today, we will register and seal this marriage in the household register, concluding this beautiful marriage and sending a blessing to the two newlyweds on their journey south to escape famine!"
