"Give it to me slowly? Ugh!"
"Even if Lin Mo recovers, how much can he earn in a year? Your family only has one acre of land, and every year the tax is very tight. We are extremely poor. How long will it take you to save up these fifteen taels? How many years? My brother Mu can't wait!"
Su Yun pushed Lin Sheng, and the disgust in her eyes became even stronger.
The crowd suddenly started talking. Everyone knew that Su Yun was mean, and some older women began to discuss it. Most of them felt that what Su Yun said made sense.
If Su Mu married into the Wang family, she could still have enough food and clothing. But if she went to the Lin family, she would have to eat one meal and starve the next. In comparison, it would be better for her to go to the Wang family and get a gift of fifteen taels.
"Awu..." Lin Sheng's face turned pale, and he felt even more anxious and uncomfortable. His eyes were red and he was at a loss. How could he come up with so much money? Even if Amo really went out to earn money, how could he have fifteen taels in just a few months!
"I...I...will not go to the Wang family, even if I die!"
Suddenly a slight sound was heard, and everyone looked at Su Mu. At this time, he was already dying, breathing intermittently, and it seemed very difficult.
Others saw him lying on the ground with a pale face, looking rather weak. In fact, when Lin Wu sent him back last night, he was severely beaten by Su Gui. Being able to stay awake had exhausted all his energy.
Hearing Su Mu's words, Su Gui was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If no one was watching, he would definitely slap Su Mu in the face.
"You don't have the choice! Marriage is a matter of parents' decision. You have to marry whoever I tell you to marry!" Su Gui said in a cold tone. In his heart, Su Mu was not his son at all. After being cuckolded for so many years, his hatred for Su Mu had already taken root like a huge tree in the sky. At this moment, he wished that Su Mu would go to Wang's house immediately and leave his sight early.
Su Mu looked at his blood relatives in front of him with a dead heart. Lin Mo's smiling face flashed through his mind. If he hadn't met Lin Mo, perhaps he wouldn't have thought of resisting, nor would he have the courage to do so, even though he knew that he and Lin Mo couldn't be together...
"Brother Sheng... Second uncle is here."
Lin Ersong looked at Lin Sheng with guilt. In the past, his younger brother was the best to him and kept all the delicious food and fun things for him, but he couldn't even protect his son.
"Second uncle..."
Lin Sheng quietly shook his head at Lin Ersong and whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Er. I'm afraid this is Mu Ge'er's fate now. We've all grown up now, and Ah Mo is well now and can take care of himself. Please don't come here in the future, so that Ah Nai won't find out and you won't suffer in vain."
###
At this time, Lin Mo was driving the cattle and whistling, walking towards home. After staying in the provincial capital for a month, he returned to the town. He had earned enough money on this trip.
According to his plan, he looked for shops everywhere in the town. After staying in the town for a few days, he looked at several shops, but no one was willing to sell.
He was not familiar with the address here, and he had not been home for a long time, so he had to ask the boys in the town to help him look for something. After shopping in the town, he drove the ox cart back home.
The closer he got to the village, the more inexplicably panicked he felt. He hadn't seen Su Mu for a long time, and he didn't know if he had changed. How should he go to his house to propose marriage? He had been married off before, and he didn't know if the other party would agree if he proposed now. It seemed that he had to think of a foolproof way.
"Hey? Are you... Lin Mo, the third son of the Lin family?" An uncle next to him looked at Lin Mo in surprise and hesitantly.
Lin Mo in front of him had a ruddy complexion and was wearing a cotton-padded coat. He looked like a nobleman and was hard to recognize. One has to know that those who were better off here only had a few sets of linen clothes.
"It's me, mom. Are you going back to the village? Come up and let's go together." Lin Mo had a polite and gentle smile on his face. He knew this uncle. He had helped Lin Wen when he was bullied by other children before.
The mother was hesitant for a moment but still got on the bus. Lin Mo pushed his things back and squeezed out a seat for him. He had bought so many things that countless people turned around to look at him along the way.
"Lin Sanlang, you really made a lot of money on this trip. You bought so many things at once, even an ox cart." Zhang Amo looked at Lin Mo enviously. The ox cart was new and it was obvious that it had been bought not long ago.
Lin Mo smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know how to answer. He remembered that only five families in the village had ox carts. These carts were equivalent to modern cars and were very valuable. No wonder the villagers were talking about him all the way.
"Oh my god, that's the third child of the Lin family?"
"Really? You bought a bullock cart?"
"I heard that the third son of the Lin family went out to do business. He might have made a lot of money. Look at that cart of stuff. How could he buy it without a few taels of silver?"
"What kind of big business is this? You made so much money in just a few months?"
"I'm afraid it's something shameful..."
"Don't talk nonsense. They pulled it in here in a bullock cart."
“…”
Lin Mo always had a faint smile on his face, and his handsome face was a little rosy. He didn't care about the gossip of the villagers. After all, the mouths were on other people's bodies and he couldn't control them. As long as they didn't provoke him, it was fine.
Their home was in the back mountain, the most remote place in the entire village. After entering the village, they said goodbye to Zhang Amo and then pulled the ox cart to the back mountain.
It was still the familiar low mud wall and the dilapidated wooden door. Looking at the dilapidated adobe house, Lin Mo felt a rare sense of emotion. When he thought about meeting Lin Wen and the others, he actually felt some anticipation and excitement in his heart.
