Chapter 979 Rumors of Tianjia Village
King Luo couldn't catch his breath. He was a man who cared about his reputation. Could he say that this was the worst decision he had ever made in his life?
Qi Heng was very pleased with himself for easily getting Qi Heng to marry Lin Yuesha.
King Luo took a deep breath, and remembering that Qi Heng still had one hurdle to overcome, he instantly calmed down.
Once Lin Yuesha learns Qi Heng's identity, there will be even more excitement to come.
“What your uncle said is from the bottom of his heart. He is absolutely not biased towards Qi Heng. Be careful not to fall into his trap.”
The Prince of Luo spoke earnestly, saying that Qi Heng was short of manpower and had come to poach the former subordinates of the Prince of Zhenbei. It was unclear what his true intentions were.
In short, the other party was betrayed and still had to pay Qi Heng to count the money.
Luo Wang has been tricked countless times; he's experienced.
Lin Yuesha nodded in agreement. Not only that, Qi Heng also planned to continue to trick King Luo.
It's understandable that those who don't know Qi Heng would be fooled, but Luo Wang is extremely familiar with Qi Heng's tricks, so why was he still trapped? Lin Yuesha couldn't understand.
Perhaps that's how the food chain works, with only one master at the top.
Lin Yuesha and Qi Heng got married, and she automatically considered herself as part of Qi Heng's family, so naturally she couldn't side with outsiders.
"Look, there's a beautiful view outside the window. Every blade of grass and every stone is alive."
Luo Wang opened the car window and took a deep breath.
The world is so beautiful, with its magnificent mountains and clear waters, and all things possess a spirit. In his leisure time, the Prince of Luo wanted to savor it all, so that his life would not have been in vain.
On the verge of death from poisoning, he remained steadfast in his decision not to get married, nor to waste his precious time.
Faced with a pretentious, artsy old bachelor who kept brainwashing her, Lin Yuesha could only agree in a low voice to cooperate with Luo Wang.
The image of a dashing and debonair young man is just a facade; it's all a lie. Prince Luo is not gay, but he finds marriage troublesome and prefers to enjoy life.
Fortunately, the fishing village was not far from Tianjia Village. The carriage traveled for two hours and arrived at Tianjia Village at noon.
At the village entrance, some children were playing. Lin Yuesha grabbed a handful of candy, handed it to the children, and asked, "Do you know where Tian Dali's house is?"
The little boy shook his head; he didn't know.
In the village, everyone is ranked by seniority; he's the third and fifth oldest, and he doesn't remember anyone named Tian Dali.
"He's just an old man with leg problems."
Lin Yuesha pointed to her right leg, and the little boy immediately understood.
He frantically shoved the candy back into Lin Yuesha's hand, then turned and ran, shouting as he ran, "Mother, a monster is coming!"
Instantly, the younger children scattered and ran away, but one boy of about twelve or thirteen stood still, his face stubborn, and said, "My third uncle is not a monster."
"He is! He eats raw flesh and drinks raw blood; he's a man-eating monster!"
One little kid made a funny face, and the other kids scattered in a panic.
"What do you want with my third uncle?"
The boy was shy and didn't want to deal with Lin Yuesha, but since it involved his uncle, he couldn't help but ask.
Mentioning Tian Dali, the boy's face fell. His third uncle was a great man and a great hero!
"Hey kid, how old are you this year?"
Lin Yuesha sensed something was amiss, so she tried to get closer to the young man by asking him a question.
"My name is Tian Wazi, I'm twelve years old, and Tian Dali is my third uncle. He's not a monster, he really isn't!"
Tian Wazi emphasized it several times, and he talked himself hoarse, but no one in the village believed him, not even his parents.
Tianwazi's eyes instantly reddened. He wiped his eyes and lowered his head.
“We are your third uncle’s friends, and we’ve come to visit him.”
Lin Yuesha took this opportunity to get information out of them. It seemed that their decision to come and invite someone was the right one. After Tian Dali returned to the village, he was having a very bad time, even extremely bad.
"Really? My third uncle has a friend who I always said was a good person!"
Tianwazi stopped crying and started laughing, feeling quite embarrassed. He was a little man and rarely shed tears in front of others.
"Tell me what's going on in the village, so we can help your third uncle."
The villagers harbored deep malice towards Tian Dali, a monster who ate human flesh and drank human blood. The little children were most susceptible to temptation; they even ran home without candy, which shows the villagers' attitude.
"The rumors about drinking human blood started because of me."
Tianwa smiled bitterly and said, "My third uncle killed barbarians and retired from the battlefield. My grandparents disliked his leg injury and suggested that the family separate."
The Tian family has four sons, and Tian Dali is the least favored third son.
When the Prince of Zhenbei came to the village to conscript soldiers, he originally wanted the eldest son in the family to join the army, but the biased Old Lady Tian replaced him with the unfavored third son, Tian Dali.
Going to the battlefield meant bloodshed, and there was a high chance of never returning. Old Mrs. Tian couldn't possibly hand over her own precious child. After picking and choosing among her other three sons, she finally pushed Tian Dali out.
Tian Dali was an honest and simple man, not good at speaking. He was the third child in his family, neither particularly important nor unimportant. He was raised by his grandmother and was not valued at all.
In order to persuade Tian Dali to take the initiative, Old Lady Tian even put on a show of maternal love and filial piety, just to deceive him.
Because Tian Dali volunteered to join the army, the higher-ups were so pleased that they gave him an extra ten taels of silver as a resettlement allowance. The resettlement allowance, along with the money Tian Dali earned from risking his life, was taken by Old Lady Tian and used to subsidize her favorite eldest son, Tian Daguang, who was also Tian Wazi's father.
Tian Dali frequently distinguished himself in the army, and his military pay kept increasing. He was reluctant to spend it all and saved it all.
Every now and then, Old Lady Tian would use the excuse of visiting Tian Dali to ask him for money, telling him that she had found him a wife in the next village, who was the girl Tian Dali had previously chosen.
Tian Dali believed it to be true, but he was unwilling to wrong the girl, so he handed over all the money he had saved to Old Lady Tian without reservation.
“Before my third uncle joined the army, his family was arranging a marriage for him. My grandmother used the money to buy land and build a new house for the family, but she didn’t give the woman a single copper coin.”
Old Mrs. Tian didn't care about her son's marriage; she just wanted him to die on the battlefield so she could collect a large sum of compensation.
All of this was completely unknown to Tian Dali before he returned to the village.
After returning to the village, Tian Dali received two pieces of news. First, the family was dividing up, and Tian Dali, who was no longer a strong laborer, was being separated from the family. Second, the woman Tian Dali had once been interested in had already married and had children, and he had no chance with her.
Tian Wazi was already a young man, and he saw things clearly, which made him even more displeased with the Tian family's actions.
Because he often went against his own father, and the Tian family had no shortage of grandsons, Tian Wa Zi became invisible in the family. The Tian family called him a little ingrate.
“After my third uncle came back, my grandmother cheated him out of his livelihood and kicked him out of the house.”
Because the Prince of Zhenbei's men embezzled the pension money, Old Lady Tian even led a group of people to the prefectural city to cause trouble. In the end, she didn't get the money and was beaten up. After returning home, she lay in bed for three months and cursed Tian Dali for being incompetent and a jinx. She also spread rumors and slanders against Tian Dali in the village.
