บท 4: Chapter 4 This Matter is Not Over Yet!
"Why… why on earth would she do this? Does she think that by harming you, grandmother would forgive Second Uncle?" Lin Changhong was still confused. What was Liu Rumei's motive behind all this?
Ms. Lu of the Lin Family had three sons. The eldest son, Lin Baizhong, was the father of Lin Caisang and Lin Changhong - a man of iron-clad loyalty.
The youngest son, Lin Baiyi, may not be as brave and cunning as his eldest brother, but he was a good-natured and honest man, with a bit of cleverness, and was extremely filial to his parents.
But the second son, Lin Baixiao, was an exception!
In order to gain wealth and status, he had stolen all the silver at home to curry favor with Liu Rumei, the rich young lady of the town. That wasn't enough, though. Despite his family's opposition, he ended up becoming a son-in-law who moved into his wife's family after marriage.
Moreover, becoming a son-in-law who moved in with his wife was one thing, but a son was still a son. What parents wouldn't love their child?
But Lin Baixiao, in order to please his wealthy father-in-law, even changed his own surname.
Now Lin Baixiao is known as Liu Baixiao!
Therefore, in the heart of Ms. Lu of the Lin Family, there was no longer such a son. Liu Baixiao didn't dare to return to Ya Village, and no one had seen him for several years.
"Big Brother, haven't you forgotten, who always comes every time Zhou Liang visits our home?" Lin Caisang asked quietly, reminding Lin Changhong.
"It's … Ah!"
Lin Changhong suddenly came to realization and couldn't help but inhale sharply.
"So, it's all about the marriage arrangement between Zhou Liang and you!"
Speaking of Lin Caisang's marriage arrangement, it felt rather baffling, yet at the same time it seemed justified.
The man involved was the grandson of their former village teacher, Elder Mr. Zhou, named Zhou Liang. This Zhou Liang was quite resistant to the arrangement and even found Lin Caisang somewhat distasteful because of her plumpness.
But it has to be said that since becoming engaged to her, Zhou Liang's career has been on a smoothly sailing course.
The year they got engaged, Zhou Liang had passed the examination to become a primary scholar;
The third year after their engagement, Zhou Liang had become a scholar, alongside her eldest cousin Lin Changfeng. They became the youngest scholars in their county, admired by everyone.
So Mr. Zhou didn't teach anymore and moved directly to the county residence for his grandson to focus on his studies, hoping that he would later become an imperial scholar, topping the list and bringing glory to his family and ancestors.
And this year… it was said that Zhou Liang was going to the provincial capital to take the exam for becoming an imperial scholar.
Thinking of Zhou Liang, Lin Changhong's eyes dimmed a little, and he vaguely exuded a sense of malevolence.
Liu Rumei had set her eyes on Zhou Liang's promising career early on, intending to marry her eldest daughter Liu Yushui to him. He was well aware of this. But no matter how much Liu Rumei wanted this, Lin Caisang, his sister, was in the way - what could she do?
It seemed that this time, Liu Rumei took advantage of Liu Baixiao's need to buy an official position in the county office, citing the lack of money in the family, and proposed to sell off her sister.
Because others weren't valuable, but his sister was different - she was a girl blessed with a destiny of prosperity!
"As far as I know, Liu Rumei must have selected the Chen Family in the county first. She passed over my destiny of prosperity to them, then approached the Chen Family in the guise of my Second Aunt.
After that, everything went smoothly, and she sold me off for two hundred taels of silver!
I didn't know anything about it initially, but after she went to the Chen Family to have the wedding wine and Young Master Chen died suddenly, Old Master Chen cursed out her misery and spilled all the beans. That's how I found out."
Looking at everything in hindsight, Lin Caisang quickly drew a conclusion – this matter wasn't yet over!
"So, Liu Rumei's scheming against you was also due to Liu Yushui?"
"Half and half, I suppose," said Lin Caisang, shrugging.
