Five hundred taels of silver is already a lot for the Guo family. It is not impossible to impose a higher fine, but if it is too much, people will feel that the Lian family is not so pitiful.
The fine was the result of Xiao Cunyu's secret efforts.
If she hadn't used the Xiao family's status to put pressure on them, the most they would have gotten would have been a divorce, and paying compensation would have been almost impossible.
The Guo family was only a small wealthy family, with only about 2,000 silver coins in cash.
Lian received the silver but was not prepared to keep it. She donated the silver in front of the county magistrate, saying that she had failed to live up to her father's expectations by marrying her enemy who had deceived her into marriage. Now she just wanted to live a clean life. She did not want to take the Guo family's dirty silver and hoped that the silver would go where it belonged.
This appearance made the people feel more sympathetic towards her.
Guo Yulai never thought that when he was old, he would be sued to the government. It was so embarrassing and shameful that he would lose all his face and dignity!
He was so distressed about the money that he wanted to eat Lian alive, but now there were even more people who wanted to eat him alive.
On the way back, Guo Yulai and his son were surrounded by people pointing and talking.
Of course, many of them were also invited by Xiao Cunyu.
She had money and was good at handling things, so she asked these people to keep an eye on the father and son and curse them several times with the foulest words.
In this way, Lian left the Guo family with a clean slate.
"Since you are no longer a member of our Guo family, that girl can't go with you! She is a child of our Guo family and must come back!" Guo Yulai is now shameless.
It's already gone, what's the point of having that reputation?!
"I don't know where the child is. You can't even take care of your daughter, and now you blame me!" Lian's attitude also became much colder.
My cousin asked the maid to go to the mountain to pay homage to the gods in advance, so there was no need to worry about being found by the Guo family.
As for what will happen in the future... she didn't know. Her cousin and son just told her to be obedient and not to rush.
Although she didn't understand, she had a natural trust in her cousin.
"How dare you hide!" Guo Yulai was very angry.
The relatives of the Guo family were also nearby. They all felt ashamed and hoped that Guo Yulai would stop making trouble. However, because Guo Yulai was very prestigious, they dared not speak out.
The thought that it would be much more difficult for the tribesmen to find wives in the future made me feel more depressed.
At this time, Guo Dalang said, "My elders, you know that I am the only one in my family. I love my mother dearly and don't want her children to be lonely. After my grandfather and father pass away, I will repay my mother for her kindness. At that time... I want to change my surname to Lian."
These words were said in front of everyone.
"No! You dare!" Guo Yulai was furious.
The relatives also shook their heads quickly, of course they were unwilling.
How can it be okay for my own child to have someone else's surname? How shameful!
"Since I want to be filial to my mother, I naturally cannot take the Guo family's property with me. So when the time comes... all the family property will have nothing to do with me. I am the only male in our family. Unless my father can give birth to other children, otherwise, I am willing to hand over these properties to my clan members." Guo Dalang said again.
After hearing this, the clan members' expressions changed.
"Really?" He almost regarded Guo Yulai and his son as dead.
Over a thousand acres of land, half of which is high-quality fertile land. If these become clan lands, how much more income will the clan earn in the future? With these, we can provide better conditions for the clan children!
Not to mention the land, there are also three shops and thousands of taels of silver!
