"Speaking of which, all of this is thanks to our current emperor. We are all thanks to his great blessing."
Everyone immediately expressed their gratitude to the emperor for his great grace.

On the other side, Redding was walking in the direction of his memory with a heavy heart, holding a pile of rewards. He kept his head down and was so preoccupied with thoughts that he didn't notice the changes in the village at all.
He was planning to go home, but his feet somehow led him to the next door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a loud noise from inside.
"Mom, I won't marry! That butcher is already in his fifties or sixties, and he's tortured three wives to death. If you let me marry him, I'll undoubtedly be sending myself to death!"
A woman's sad sobbing was heard.
When Redding heard this, his heart was instantly gripped.
"Xiao Tong, I know you've been dreaming of marrying the guy next door named Lei since you were little, but I advise you to give up on this idea."
"First of all, we haven't heard from that guy for a while. He might have died on the battlefield. Secondly, even if he's not dead, how could a soldier like him be as rich as Zhang the butcher?"
"Your brother is getting married, and the girl's family wants thirty taels of silver as a betrothal gift. If you don't marry her, how are we going to pay for it? Are you trying to force us old couple to death?"
The child's mother said leisurely while mending clothes.
"Mom, but I will die..."
The child sobbed softly, his tone almost begging.
"You damned girl, how can you not tell good from bad? You were married to Butcher Zhang, so if nothing else, you could eat meat every meal."
"I'm warning you, this marriage is a done deal. Even if you die, you have to die in the Zhang family and earn back the money you paid for your brother's betrothal gift. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Redding couldn't stand it any longer and suddenly opened the door...
