There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

Chapter 26- Zhao Family Thoughts + Ambiguous Hillside

After beating Zhao Dachong, Lin Laogen, and Wu Qingyuan continued their return to Lin’s house slowly. 

Lin Laogen is not afraid that Zhao Dachong will turn his head to trouble him. Who told Zhao Dachong’s mouth to be stinky, and he dares to scold his baby. Besides, Zhao Dachong’s character has always been awkward.

Here, after the two left, Zhao Dachong did not have the courage to trouble him. Who made him unlucky today, usually taking advantage of Lin Laogen’s bad legs, but today he met Wu Qingyuan’s help and was beaten. He deserved it.

Besides, who doesn’t know what kind of character Lin Laogen has. Whenever he encounters someone talking bad about his own baby, he can turn from an honest person to a desperate mad dog. Who dares to provoke this kind of person?

So his efforts were going to be for nothing. Zhao Dachong could only go home by himself with his bruised face, but he was still very angry, and Lin Laogen was too much. He just said a few words, it’s just a fact that Lin’s child Lin Amo is ugly and he was only telling the truth. 

Going home depressed, Zhao’s wife who was named Liushi asked why he looked like that, and he said what had just happened.

“You already know the old guy Lin Laogen’s temper, you deliberately irritated him, hitting you was something you deserve so that you gain something in that head of yours!”

After hearing her husband’s story- Liushishi cried a contemptuous sentence, she didn’t mean to feel distressed at all. She blamed her man for having no brains and tossing around.

“I’m telling the truth. Look at what he has beaten me into. It’s hard to even speak. No, this fight can’t be done for nothing. Old lady, you will find a matchmaker tomorrow, and hurry up and get Lin-ger. Lin Laogen has an ugly ger for a child. In the future, if he wants his ger to live a good life, will he dare to beat his in-laws?!”

Zhao Liushishi snorted angrily.

The man in her family is a brainless man. Lin Laogen’s ger can marry home and work, but he must not teach him. The former ger and his husband must work when he arrives at his husband’s house, if they use him to teach a lesson then with Lin Laogen’s character, he will never give up. 

“But having said that, as the head of the house, we should go to the matchmaker and quickly marry the ger of Lin Laogen.”

“Huh? I just said so… are you really going to find a matchmaker to propose marriage? Lin Laogen, the old man, is asking for a bride price of two taels of silver from us!”

Zhao Dachong stood up cleverly when he heard his wife’s words.

According to the village’s rules for arranging marriages, a girl’s bride price is one or two silver taels, and the ger’s is half of one. Lin Laogen is eager to find Lin Amo a husband soon. Yet he asks for such a generous dowry. 

But the premise is that the person who comes to propose a marriage was a good family. The Zhao family’s family background was not particularly good, and the Zhao family’s husband and wife were acrid and powerful, and no one in the village wanted to get married to his family.

The Lin family’s Amo is so ugly, that the Zhao family, who has always been arrogant and snobbish, would actually go to propose marriage. Lin Laogen naturally saw how his child would only suffer in the future so he disagreed. After arguing with the Zhao family a few times, he talked about a dowry of two taels of silver in order to deliberately embarrass the Zhao family as he wanted the Zhao family to back off.

The Zhao family didn’t have any money at all. They were naturally unwilling for an ugly ger to ask for a betrothal gift of two taels of silver, so the marriage proposal was stopped, this made the wait for Lin Amo’s marriage halt. The older you are, the less valuable it is- this is the belief of his village. No one wants to marry, but his family wants it. Lin Laogen may just ask them to marry.

But who knows that Lin Laogen is hard-spirited. Now that Lin Amo is almost 19 years old, he still stays at home, and his family’s idea of ​​picking up a bargain is shattered. Zhao Dachong often calls Lin Laogen’s family to his face. In fact, his purpose was just to make Lin Amo’s reputation worse so that he could only marry their family. 

It is naturally not cost-effective to hire a young man to go home with one or two silver taels, but special circumstances are considered special for a reason.

Liushishi pulled Zhao Dachong over and sat down again to continue talking.

“Two taels of silver to marry a ger is a bit much, but that Lin-ger can work- since he was a child, have you not seen that he has helped his father serve those lands, and he has taken care of the well-known good fields in our village, and his father loves him, the dowry must be a lot, and he will not lose money when he marries back.”

“But what if Lin Laogen doesn’t give the dowry back? Our family shouldn’t lose money. We can’t marry a beautiful girl like a couple of silver but we have to marry the ugly monster of the Lin family…” Zhao Dachong’s insect eyes were very short-sighted. 

“It’s really true that you’re a worm! If you don’t give something, you won’t gain anything- if we don’t give him the dowry, then even if our family earns it back, then when people come to our house, we can’t manage how we want to treat Lin Laogen, two taels of silver to buy a strong labor is not cost-effective?”

Liushi rolled his eyes when he heard his husband’s words.

“Anyway, I’m telling you that even if Lin Laogen really wants two taels of silver, we have to get his ger quickly. Just now Haisheng received a letter that states that the matter of being promoted to shopkeeper is pretty stable. …..”

“Really?!” Zhao Da Chong was pleasantly surprised. 

“Can there be a fake after all the letters come back?” Liushi also laughed.

“Haisheng wrote back a little and said that when the time comes to be promoted to a shopkeeper, he will immediately marry the girl in Baozhu, you also know, although the girl is not a noble, but since she was a child, she grew up in the Qian family, and the old lady who served the Qian family ate and dressed better than our countrymen, so can she work when she marries into our family in the future? Can you treat her like a village daughter-in-law? Don’t you forget that Haisheng’s position relies on her, and when the time comes, will we be the ones serving her? If you don’t get Lin-ger back now, when that girl enters the door, we two old things will have to be called to serve her, and this year’s autumn harvest, Haisheng can’t come back to help, no longer can we find a laborer, how can we get cope…”

Liushi gave Zhao Dachong an analysis one by one.

In fact, if it were not for special circumstances, their family would not want to marry Lin Amo. Lin Amo is good at work, but there are many gers who can work, and who is willing to marry a ger who is not good to take out to meet relatives at such a high dowry? 

But the problem is that her son is bringing a golden daughter-in-law from the town, the maid serving by the old lady of the Qian Mansion. Their son’s promotion to being a shopkeeper would be thanks to this girl. Her background is hard, and she will definitely not be like a daughter-in-law in the village after marrying at their home.

Should they let the parents-in-law serve the daughter-in-law, which of these two people are willing- her family is not able to afford a regular ger, so she pays attention to Lin Amo, the unwanted one- one ger is worth one labor, and the Lin family is also from a good family background. Ugliness is ugliness, but when he marries into this home- he’s a free labor force they will never lose!

“Honey, you make a lot of sense. Find time to find a matchmaker, and quickly bring people home to work. I don’t want to serve my daughter-in-law…”

Zhao Dachong’s vision is short-sighted, but his IQ is absolutely passable. As soon as Liushi analyzed the unwillingness on his face, he calmed down and nodded. 

Liushi naturally followed with a smile, and the couple was full of confidence.
