Their family was poor. When the two got married, those from better-off families might have had new clothes to wear.

If things aren't going well at home, there won't even be a happy occasion.

Hearing Lin Cai say to pretend she didn't say anything, Li Dazui also got anxious.

He quickly stood up and called out to Lin Cai, "Hey, Lin Cai, don't be in such a hurry!"

“I didn’t say I disagreed. Two taels of silver it is, but you still have to give me that pound of meat and pastries.”

"Don't worry, the bride arrived at the door in perfect condition, and you will receive everything I promised."

They had all left, and Huani was still in shock. She never imagined that she would be married off like this.

Looking at Gu Dachui, whose face was covered in bruises, Hua Ni said, "Brother Dachui, it's not worth it, it's not worth it at all."

Huani burst into tears; she truly felt it wasn't worth it, not worth it at all.

Lin Cai went back alone, kicking the pebbles on the road with each step. The two brothers following behind trembled when they saw this.

At that moment, Lin Cai felt a fire burning inside her, a fire that couldn't be extinguished. She told the two brothers behind her to stop following her and left alone.

At first, she could walk slowly, but then she started running. She didn't know how long she ran or how far she ran.

When she was too tired to run anymore, she stopped and saw a bridge. She heard the sound of flowing water nearby and looked over to see a river.

It was very quiet around there, with no one around. Lin Cai came to the bridgehead, ran to the middle of the bridge, and looked at the flowing river below.

"Ah...ah...ah..." He put his hand to his mouth like a megaphone and started yelling.

"Why? Why did you bring me here? Why did you make me go through all this? What does this have to do with me? Why do I have to know this?"

She asked many "whys" but received no answers, so Lin Cai simply climbed up and prepared to sit next to her.

But as soon as she moved, she was picked up, spun around, and then landed on the ground.

Before she could even speak, she heard the person who had just brought her here say, "Your third brother will go crazy if he finds out."

Lin Cai understood what he meant: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to..."

"There's nothing in this world that can't be solved. If there really is, you can ask someone else for help; there's no need to..."

“I told you you misunderstood. I didn’t. I was just angry. I didn’t want to kill myself.”

Lin Cai spoke a little loudly, then lowered her voice towards the end, looking at the river: "I just feel that human life is too cheap."

"That's just how the world is."

"Can't things be changed?"

"Can't we change a person's identity, change a woman's identity, change everyone's identity?"

"Yes, but no one can do it."

"No, you're wrong. It's not that no one can do it, it's that they simply don't want to."

If someone is willing to do it and someone sets that precedent, then the world will be very different.

She used to live a life where everyone was equal, but now her life is completely different.

Her anger stemmed from both the arbitrary buying and selling of people and the inequality that prevailed.

Gu Zhan was shocked by what Lin Cai said. Change the status quo?

Who has the ability to know from birth that not everyone in this world is equal?

Some people strive their whole lives and still can't reach that height, while others are born at an incredible speed.

This is their fate, and no one can change it. And changing this is not something an ordinary person can do.

"People are inherently different, so how can there be equality among all people? If you want others to respect you and treat you with utmost respect, then you can only work hard."

Strive to climb higher, climb to that height that people look up to. Once you reach that height, those below will always look up to you.

Gu Zhan's words were correct, at least in this era. Lin Cai had just shouted a few times, and the fire in her heart gradually subsided.

When I got back, I saw the siblings sitting on the doorstep.

Seeing her return, the siblings all stood up, and Xiao Chunhua rushed over and hugged Lin Cai.

"Mom, where did you go? I've been waiting for you for so long, and you didn't come back. I thought..."

"It's nothing, I just went out for a walk. What's wrong? Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."

Gu Dachui looked at Lin Cai as she walked over, wanting to say something but not saying it. Lin Cai didn't mind, but told him when she entered the house.

"Since you're going to marry her, once you've agreed, get ready. Go there first thing tomorrow morning, and remember to treat her well after you bring her home."

Gu Dachui's ears turned red when he heard this. He nodded to indicate that he understood, and said thank you when Lin Cai entered the room.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank me. Since I married your father, I should take responsibility for you. That's all."

That's all she can do now; there's nothing else she can do.

They said it was a betrothal gift, and they went to pick up the person the next day. When they first went in, Li Dazui was a little unhappy, feeling that he had lost out.

Lin Cai completely ignored her. After seeing the person, she put all the silver, meat, and pastries on the table.

Then Lin Cai had Gu Dachui take the person away first. Then she looked at Li Dazui's family and said, "The people who marry into my family are protected by me. If you go and cause trouble for them because of this, then you'd better watch your legs."

Lin Cai, who had just received the money and was still smiling, immediately said happily upon hearing this, "Don't worry, Lin family sister, I understand the principle that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl."

"Hua Ni is now married to your family's Da Chui, and has nothing to do with our family anymore. I won't cause them any trouble."

"Remember what you said, and you had better do what you said you would do."

Lin Cai didn't know what Gu Dachui's life would be like in the future, but no matter what it was like, it couldn't be worse than it was now.

She didn't want Li Dazui to see this and then use Huani as an excuse to come knocking on her door.

With another member joining the family, making money should be on the agenda. The seeds have been sown, but we don't know if it will work.

Although the things she had stockpiled were not available here, she couldn't just take them out casually.

Taking one or two is fine; you can easily get away with it. But if you take too many, you'll eventually attract attention.

She has no skills whatsoever, not even the ability to protect herself. If she gets targeted, she's truly doomed.
