Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, young master." The old man prostrated himself on the ground and bowed deeply in gratitude.

At the same time, the blind woman next to the old man also knelt on the ground and kowtowed obsequiously, saying, "Young master, your kindness is beyond my ability to repay."

Seeing more and more people praising him, Lin Ping felt uneasy.

They shouldn't be labeled as good people.

His gaze fell on the blind girl's face, and a plan formed in his mind.

"No way to repay you? I think not!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale.

Everyone knows that Lin Ping is a spoiled brat, and now that he has the City Lord's Mansion backing him up, he must be full of bad intentions.

"This humble woman does not understand what you mean, sir."

The blind woman hugged the old man and said with great concern.

"You don't understand, do you? Well then, the consultation fee is one hundred taels of silver."

Lin Ping said coldly.

One hundred taels of silver?!

The old man was terrified. He wasn't even an ordinary citizen, and one hundred taels of silver was probably the cost of most of his life.

I thought Lin Ping was just helping others out of kindness, but I never imagined he would ask for payment.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have preferred to break his leg.

Charging for medical treatment is perfectly reasonable, and the elderly have no reason to refuse; however, the consultation fee is frighteningly high.

"Young master... what about the consultation fee..."

The old man still had a sliver of goodwill towards Lin Ping, but he didn't want to be too blunt about some things, since Lin Ping was, after all, his savior.

"You think it's too expensive? Why bother getting treatment if it's too expensive? Old man, you can't afford the consultation fee, can you?!"

Lin Ping's face was gloomy, and he looked exactly like a villain.

"That's right, hurry up and give me the money!"

Li Mingxuan and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly said with exaggerated gestures.

"I, Lin Ping, am an upright man. I never bully the weak, nor do I force anyone. If you have no money, I'll have to break your legs again!"

Lin Ping said viciously.

"no!"

The blind woman kept shaking her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Where in the world can you find a good deal where you don't have to take money and also don't want your legs broken?"

Lin Ping looked at the blind woman with a lewd expression and continued:

"How about this, your daughter comes back to the city lord's mansion with me, that will be considered payment for this consultation, how about that?"

Lin Ping spoke calmly and confidently about abducting women.

"No, absolutely not!"

The old man knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He cherished his daughter as his life, how could he give her to a villain like Lin Ping to be his maid?

Once inside the city lord's mansion, who knows what inhuman treatment they might encounter.

Lin Ping casually picked up a wooden stick and gestured with it in his hand, saying, "I, Lin Ping, have said I won't force people to do things against their will. Since you don't agree, then I'll just have to break your legs again."

As Lin Ping approached the old man step by step, Li Mingxuan and the others felt a chill. Their son-in-law was even more of a playboy than they had imagined!

A consultation fee of one hundred taels of silver for repairing a leg?

If you don't give it to me, will you break my legs again?

However, as Lin Ping's evil servants, they constantly emboldened Lin Ping!

"Old man, hand over your daughter now, or don't blame my son-in-law for being righteous!"

Li Mingxuan cursed loudly.

Although this fellow was a servant, he was still a servant after all, and he had some compassion. He didn't want to see Lin Ping break the old man's legs, so the best solution now was to use a woman to pay off the debt.

"Please, spare my father! I'm willing to go to the city lord's mansion with you!"

The woman wept, her face streaked with tears, her voice trembling as she sobbed.

How could she not have guessed what she would encounter after entering the city lord's mansion? But she could only make this decision because she did not want her father to suffer the pain of a broken leg.

Lin Ping naturally wouldn't actually break the old man's legs. He was just worried about not having a way out when he heard this and was overjoyed. He glanced down at the old man and said contemptuously, "Old man, this is your daughter's own choice. It's not that I, Lin Ping, forced her. I'm a reasonable person, hahaha... Take her away."

As he finished speaking, Lin Ping excitedly rubbed his hands together, almost drooling as he did so.

Da Niu and Er Niu were no pushovers; one on each side, they grabbed the woman's arms and dragged her backward with all their might.

The woman struggled instinctively for a few moments, but then quieted down when she thought about the consequences of refusing.

"Please spare my daughter, I beg you, please spare my daughter, she's so young..."

The old man knew that Lin Pingquan was powerful and influential, so he dared not resist and could only hope that Lin Pingquan would show some kindness.

"Small? I doubt it."

Lin Ping said in a lewd tone, drool almost dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the ground.

The old man naturally didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he guessed that Lin Ping wouldn't let his daughter go, so he wrapped his arms around Lin Ping's legs and cried even harder.

Lin Ping's thighs are so thick, I'm afraid you won't be able to hug them!

Lin Ping shook his leg, broke free from the old man's embrace, and said flippantly, "Your daughter is quite pretty. I, Lin Ping, am fair in my dealings, so I'll give you an extra hundred taels of silver!"

After saying this, Lin Ping threw one hundred taels of silver on the ground without any hesitation and explained, "I've treated your illness and given you the money. Don't you dare accuse me of abducting a woman, you old geezer!"

Paying money would prevent it from being considered kidnapping a woman, and even if you ended up in the yamen, you wouldn't be in the wrong.

In this era, the sale of daughters was commonplace, and Lin Ping had definitely offered the fairest price.

"Old Wang, don't be so ungrateful. So many people are fighting tooth and nail to get into the city lord's mansion. Your daughter is just lucky. Who would want a blind woman? Besides, she got a hundred taels of silver for nothing," a passerby said, pointing at the old man.

That's true. The city lord's mansion is a sacred place that servants and maids yearn for. Not only is the status high, but the monthly salary is also high. Moreover, Old Man Zhao's daughter is blind, so no one will like her. After he passes away, his daughter will have nowhere to go.

Old Wang understood this principle, but he still felt sorry for his daughter and kept crying and wailing.

A man of similar age to Old Man Wang couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward aggressively and asked obsequiously, "Old Man Wang is ungrateful, sir. Please forgive me. I have a daughter at home. Would you like her?"

This was the first time Lin Ping had ever encountered such a situation where people were scrambling to sell their daughters; he could only blame himself for offering too high a price.

Lin Ping was furious at the person who was willing to sell his daughter, and kicked him.

"How...how could you hit me?"

The other person clutched their chest, looking extremely aggrieved.

"You bastard, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? With your ugly face, you think you're qualified to sell your daughter? Get out of here right now, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Lin Ping reprimanded him angrily.

The other party was startled by Lin Ping's murderous gaze and hurriedly fled.

Many people secretly applauded, as they also despised those who sold their daughters.

"Dali, Erli, let's go!"

Lin Ping shrugged and, with his servants, continued to walk down the street with an air of indifference, as if he didn't recognize anyone.

When the people on the street saw them, they all hid to the side, afraid of getting into trouble.

As a result, Lin Ping's reputation in the inner city once again became infamous.
