C4 – Compensation
Apart from strategizing with his father, he found no ti to address the concerns of this ti period. Additionally, he experienced a throbbing headache; the cause, whether it was the fusion of soul and body or sothing else, remained unknown.
His mories were fragnted, but he was aware that the individual receiving support was his grandmother, who was also responsible for expelling him from his ho. Naturally, his father disagreed, resulting in a continued impasse.
Originally, before the division, the whole family resided together. However, following his grandfather’s demise, his grandmother insisted on separating the family, ignoring all opposition, and choosing to accompany her youngest son. Consequently, they relocated to a new dwelling, leaving him, his father, and his son in the ancestral ho.
The old dwelling barely provided shelter against rainfall; leaks during rains were a forewarning of potential collapse.
His grandmother would incessantly berate Ah Yao, criticizing her inability to bear a male heir. Currently, besides him, his father was his brother, and all others were his younger brothers; in rural settings, such a condition was regarded as extrely disrespectful.
Every month, his father would honor his grandmother. His existence was already marred by destitution, but it had deteriorated even further now.
One of his legs was fractured, and the house’s owner claid an illicit liaison with the Young Master, resulting in his expulsion by the owner. The recollection of his wounds was vague, and Lin Yuxing could not rember the details, leaving him with no choice but to dismiss it for the ti being.
“Mother-in-law, given Yu’s present condition, why intensify his suffering?” It was not his place as a son-in-law to oppose his mother-in-law, but her deanor was excessively exasperating.
It was unjust for him to be wronged, especially when the child had no part in this. The marriage had been their request initially, but now they were openly going back on their word. How was his brother supposed to go through with the marriage after this?
Upon hearing his words, the mother-in-law instantly scolded him sharply, “You curse! If you could’ve had a child, would you have been treated this way? Watch out, I might just have Ah Yi divorce you!”
While the current constraints on my life aren’t too severe, there’s indeed a scarcity of n in this age. Particularly in the countryside, one man is already more than sufficient.
Soong Qinghee didn’t make a sound. It was true that he couldn’t give birth to a son.
Lin Yuxing glanced disdainfully at grandma and turned to the village head, “Village leader, won’t you intervene?” Clearly, he wanted the village leader to make a decision in the situation.
After all, they belonged to Lin Village, yet it seed the village head was indifferent to their concerns.
The village chief regarded Lin Yuxing and declared, “Give Yu one tael of silver and banish these two from Lin Village, ensuring they never return!”
The Village Chief’s judgnt was quite balanced. Although Li Yuxiang had sneaked in, he was apprehended imdiately; hence his deceit was thwarted. The compensation was a fitting reparation.
“I won’t part with any silver; why should I?” Lee Su growled, displaying his anger. He held so resentnt towards his father-in-law; without the prearranged child marriage, none of this would’ve occurred.
