Seeing the shocked and speechless expressions on the faces of the village chief and the village party secretary, Lin Feng gave a wry smile and said, "Village chief, village party secretary, I still need to go to my uncle's house, so I won't disturb your work any longer."

The village chief and the village party secretary nodded, looking at Lin Feng's retreating figure with sympathy on their faces.

"From now on, I must try my best to treat all my children equally," the village chief said with deep emotion.

“You’re right. Lin Lao Er is a cautionary tale. We can’t follow in his footsteps,” the village secretary said in agreement.

...

Lin Feng walked into his uncle's house with a sullen expression. He saw his uncle chopping firewood in the yard, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Uncle!"

"Lin Feng, you're back from the city. How are your grandfather and Qing Huan doing?" Uncle Lin asked with a smile.

“Grandpa and the others are all doing well,” Lin Feng said.

Uncle Lin noticed the faint sorrow in Lin Feng's eyes and asked with concern, "You don't look well. Has something happened?"

Lin Feng sighed helplessly, "Has something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin's heart tightened, and he asked urgently, "What happened?"

Lin Feng recounted Lin Piaoxue's story and the division of the family property. After listening, Uncle Lin patted Lin Feng's shoulder with sympathy and heartache.

"Your parents suffered such a huge loss, yet they still haven't learned their lesson!"

“We four siblings can’t revolve around Lin Piaoxue forever; we want to live our own lives,” Lin Feng said.

“I understand your predicament,” Uncle Lin said.

...

Lin Dafeng was carrying a basket on her back when she went to the field to cut sweet potato vines. As soon as she looked up, she saw Lin Feng walking towards her. She paused for a moment, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Lin Feng had a capable grandfather, and he would only become more and more outstanding. The distance between them would only grow further and further apart. The last bit of faint expectation and unspeakable affection in her heart vanished at this moment, and a faint bitterness welled up in her heart.

Lin Feng felt a pang of sadness seeing Lin Dafeng looking down at him. He grabbed Lin Dafeng's hand, and Lin Dafeng looked up at Lin Feng, confused as to why Lin Feng had suddenly grabbed him.

Looking at Lin Dafeng's sallow face, with its obvious hideous scars and a glint of tears in her eyes, Lin Feng felt a tightness in his chest. This girl was the first person he wanted to marry.

"Come with me!"

Lin Feng led Lin Dafeng to a secluded and deserted place, and asked her, "Are you alright?"

Lin Dafeng didn't want Lin Feng to see the ugly scars on his face, so she lowered her head and said, "It's nothing special!"

Lin Feng lifted Lin Dafeng's chin, looked at her, and asked, "Are you still willing to marry me?"

Lin Dafeng's eyes stung slightly. Of course, she wanted to marry Lin Feng, but she also knew herself well enough to know that she was not good enough for him. She said with a bitter smile, "I am not good enough for you."

Lin Feng looked at Lin Dafeng, his eyes welling up with tears, and reached out to stroke the scars on her face.

Lin Dafeng removed Lin Feng's hand, lowered her head and looked down at the ground, "Don't look, it's ugly!"

Lin Feng put the basket on Lin Dafeng's back on the ground, reached out and hugged him, saying affectionately, "Not ugly at all!"

Lin Dafeng was stunned by the sudden embrace. Lin Feng actually hugged her and didn't mind her at all!

Because of Lin Yu, everyone looked at Lin Dafeng with disdain. She went from feeling ashamed to being numb. She thought she would just live like this, but unexpectedly she met someone who didn't look down on her, and this person even liked the person she liked.

A tear slid down Lin Dafeng's cheek. Did she not have the right to be happy?

As Lin Feng listened to Lin Dafeng's suppressed sobs, his eyes welled up slightly. Lin Dafeng must be suffering a lot inside!

"Don't cry!" Lin Feng comforted her.

Lin Dafeng looked up at Lin Feng, her eyes blurry with tears, "My reputation is bad, my family is poor, and everyone in the village looks down on me. Why are you still willing to marry me?"

“I’m attracted to you as a person, not your looks. I’ve saved up some money, and once I’ve established myself in the city, I’ll ask someone to act as matchmaker and marry you properly, then I’ll take you to live in the city,” Lin Feng said.

Lin Dafeng's eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Feng with surprise. Lin Feng looked into Lin Dafeng's sparkling eyes, his heart warmed, and he lowered his head to kiss Lin Dafeng's delicate lips.

Lin Dafeng was at a loss as Lin Feng kissed her, her cheeks flushed red, feeling both joy and shyness.

After the kiss ended, Lin Feng looked at Lin Feng and said, "Da Feng, I will definitely make sure you live a good life."

Lin Dafeng blushed and said nervously, "Your parents won't agree."

"My family is splitting up tonight. From now on, I'll be in charge of my own affairs, as long as my grandfather agrees," Lin Feng said.

Lin Dafeng's face lit up with joy as she looked at Lin Feng with delight.

If they separated from the family, she wouldn't have to face that vicious woman Lin Piaoxue and her disliked mother Lin every day after marrying Lin Feng.

Lin Feng made it clear beforehand: "Your father cannot enter my house, nor can he support your family unconditionally like a bottomless pit. Otherwise, even if we get married, my grandfather will make us divorce."

"I know my limits," Lin Dafeng said.

Once you're married, you're no longer part of your own family. You should help your family if they're in trouble, but your husband and son should come first.

Lin Feng chuckled and pinched Lin Dafeng's cheek. "You're such a good girl. No wonder Grandpa treats you differently."

Lin Dafeng smiled, knowing that Lin Feng was willing to marry her, and she would definitely live a good life with him.
