Lin Changfa's marriage is a happy event for the Lin family. It has never been held since the establishment of the Lin workshop. This time, everyone decided to hold a grand wedding with Lin Changfa's wedding.
Lin Changfa's family currently has only one youngest son, Lin Zikun, who is not married yet, but the marriage has been arranged and will take place around March next year.
The daughter-in-law he was going to marry was from a wealthy family in Huangmoguan. She was well-behaved and virtuous. As the saying goes, a good daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. If Lin Rui had not entered the circle of the major general, the wealthy family would not have been willing to marry his daughter into his family!
The one that the outsider was interested in at first was Lin Rui, but Lin Rui was very moved and refused. Now was not the time to talk about love, and he was a single man in his previous life. He resisted the pressure from his mother and refused.
Now he is the only one who can decide Lin Rui's marriage. Feng Zhenniang wants to say something, but now the whole clan is following his lead. Who dares to act like a big shot and teach their clan leader how to do things?
Lin Changfa's house, which is quite large, is decorated with red lanterns, waiting for the wedding ceremony to be completed tomorrow.
Lin Zijun and Lin Zizheng are now married, and their father has separated the three brothers because of his remarriage, along with the shares in the Lin workshop. Lin Changfa has the smallest share.
The three sons each have a position in the Lin's workshop, and now they earn as much as Lin Changfa. Especially Lin Zijun and Lin Zikun, who are now in charge of sales, both have a monthly salary of three to five taels, and they don't even look down on their father's meager salary.
Only when their own children have made progress will they stop thinking about their father's property. This is particularly evident in Lin Changfa's three sons.
The two daughters-in-law, Niu Qin and Zhu Ying, were also busy helping out, and the aunts, Chen Zhi, Chen Mei, Feng Zhenniang, all came to help. After all, Lin Changfa was a grown man, and he couldn't do anything more detailed than entertaining.
Now people keep congratulating him every day, making him so happy that he smiles from morning to night.
Feng Zhenniang was walking down the road, carrying a bamboo basket, with Sister Lin beside her. They were talking as they walked when suddenly Sister Lin stopped, looking annoyed. "Oh, mother, go back first. I left something at my uncle's house. I'll go back and get it right away. Don't wait for me."
"Okay, okay!" Feng Zhenniang nodded and continued to move forward. This area was the territory of Linjia Village, so there was no need to worry about any bad guys causing trouble.
When passing by an alley, a gray and smelly figure rushed towards her. Feng Zhenniang screamed in fear and stepped back repeatedly, sitting down on the ground, but her feet were held tightly by the other person.
Feng Zhenniang: "Let me go, let me go, or I'll call for help!"
The gray figure also spoke: "Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang, I am Lan Hua!"
Feng Zhenniang's face froze in fear, and she stopped struggling in disbelief. "Who are you?"
The visitor immediately peeled off his disheveled hair and eagerly asked Feng Zhenniang to confirm: "I am Lanhua, Yu Lanhua!"
Feng Zhenniang stared at the skinny face again and again and found that it was really Yu Lanhua.
"Orchid? You are an orchid!"
Yu Lanhua nodded repeatedly.
Feng Zhenniang immediately stood up, pointed at her and cursed, "You heartless thing! You almost beat your son to death, and you still dare to come back!"
Yu Lanhua burst into tears and hugged Yu Lanhua's legs: "Zhen Niang, I was wrong, I regret it. Ever since I did that evil thing, I regret it every night and can't sleep!"
"Your regrets are none of my business. Zijun, Zizheng, and Zikun have treated you as dead. Don't try to ruin their lives." Yu Lanhua spoke directly, without further ado. Lin Changfa and his son had given Yu Lanhua opportunities to correct her mistakes before, but she had repeatedly exploited them, relying on her status as a wife and mother.
"Long Hair and I have been married for twenty years!"
"Oh, Lanhua, please don't say such things. You still remember that we were married for twenty years. When you brought people to rob our food, you showed no mercy."
"Go, go, go. We are sisters-in-law after all. I don't want to scold you so harshly. From now on, we will just treat you as dead. Don't come here to cause trouble again."
"Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang, look at me, I'm going to die if you don't save me!" Yu Lanhua immediately lifted up her sleeves, which were covered with purple bruises, and what was more serious was that there were many scars and burns.
"You!" Feng Zhenniang was also shocked by the injuries on her body: "Didn't you and your family steal food and run away? How did you end up like this?"
Yu Lanhua immediately cried out, "I regret it! Lanhua, I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green. Why did I let the Yu family deceive me? I should have known that I was born wrongly, to provide nutrients for my two younger brothers. Now that I am no longer useful, I should be thrown away like a piece of rag."
"After we ran out of food, we finally made it to Huangmo Pass alive. We were accepted by the Xing family army and given some wasteland. But after I helped my family clear the wasteland, they thought I ate too much and arranged a matchmaking for me, marrying me off to a local scoundrel. He was infertile and would beat me when he was drunk. I suffered more than just scratches!"
As she spoke, Yu Lanhua opened her skirt, revealing to Feng Zhenniang some of her deformed ribs. "He broke all of these. I cried out to heaven and earth, but no one answered. He was afraid I'd run away, so he locked me up at home and tortured me every day. He lost his last wife like that. I'm scared to death. I want long hair and three sons!"
Yu Lanhua was crying with tears and snot. Feng Zhenniang couldn't help but think of what her son Lin Rui said: There must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
Yes! Isn’t it hateful?
If Yu Lanhua hadn't caused all this trouble, how good her life would be now!
He kept doing it and ended up using up all his endless blessings early on.
Feng Zhenniang forcibly pulled her legs out of Yu Lanhua's arms and said, "Don't bother with this. Changfa and Zizheng won't forgive you. You've only come home after you've suffered, become thin, and become tired outside. If you were living a glorious life, with all the good food and drinks, how could you possibly think of us?"
"I have done my best by saying these words to you today. You put our Lin family's life on the line back then, so you can just be happy that I didn't kill you." Feng Zhenniang turned around and was about to leave.
Yu Lanhua refused to give up: "Zhen Niang, I went through countless hardships to find this place. I must go home no matter what. It's my own home. It's useless for you to stop me!"
Feng Zhenniang stopped and looked at Yu Lanhua with a grim expression: "You left so gracefully back then, so don't keep pestering me now. Why do you think there are red lanterns hanging in the Lin family workshop and in every courtyard?"
Yu Lanhua seemed confused as to why Feng Zhenniang would ask such an irrelevant question: "Why are the red lanterns hanging?"
