Outside the gate.
"I don't care! Brother Sheng, let's be clear about this today. There's no way my Yun'er will marry that cripple of yours! She was sick before, and that was fine, but now she's paralyzed in bed, needing someone to take care of her when she eats, drinks, defecates, or urinates. Aren't you asking my Yun'er to be a widow?"
A sharp female voice rushed into Lin Mo's ears. This voice was probably the mother of his cheap fiancée.
"Stop arguing for now, Su Yunshi, let's go in and see Lin Sanlang first. If this is really not going to work, we can talk it over slowly. What's the point of making such a fuss?"
Liu, the village chief of Maolin Village, shouted to the people to stop making noise, and more people gathered around to watch. Many people gathered at the small entrance.
Su Yun was even more delighted when she saw this. Her mean, dark and thin old face was wrinkled. She had originally wanted to make a big fuss and ask the village chief to cancel the engagement. Now that there were more people involved, it was exactly what she wanted.
Then she cried even louder, "My poor Yun'er, how can I live if I marry a useless man? If Lin Mo had a little more ambition and recovered from his illness and found a decent job, I wouldn't have to do this. But he followed Lai Gouzi to do those sneaky things. How can I bear to hand my daughter over to him?"
When the people around heard this and saw Su Yun crying so hard, they all started talking at once.
If their daughter were to marry such a man, naturally no mother would be willing to do so. Everyone was talking at once, but no one said anything bad about Su Yun.
Hearing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to scold the original owner.
More than half a month ago, the original owner had just recovered a little and wanted to find a job in the town. He also liked his fiancée Su Yunqiu.
People in this world get married very early, all at the behest of their parents and matchmakers.
Some of them were promised to someone when they were only thirteen or fourteen years old. He is eighteen years old now, and other people of the same age as him can already walk.
So when he got better, he thought about saving some money to marry Su Yunqiu. However, he was tricked by Lai Gouzi on the way to steal from the landlord's house in the next village. He didn't steal anything, but the landlord was beaten half to death and carried back. If it weren't for the kindness of the landlord, he would have been taken to the government office.
"Uncle Liu... Ah Mo is also a victim in this matter. Ah Mo is still lying in bed. Can we wait until he wakes up to discuss the engagement?"
Lin Sheng's face showed bitterness, and his voice was filled with pleading and expectation. Now he had no right to retain the engagement.
In the past, when Amo was in better health, there was at least hope. But now, if Amo really becomes paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life, wouldn’t that be harming Su Yun!
"Uncle Liu, let's wait until Lin Mo feels better." A man with a rough voice in the crowd responded. Village chief Liu also looked embarrassed. The engagement would definitely not be completed now, but if he canceled the engagement at this time, he was afraid that Lin Mo would not be able to accept it. If he got angry again and something bad happened, he would feel very uncomfortable.
The quarrel outside was getting louder and louder, but Lin Mo was still lying on the bed, unable to move. His bones had not yet fully healed, and Lin Wen could not support him. If he moved again, he would probably have to lie down for another month.
"Awen, be good and go outside to ask your elder brother to bring the village chief and others in, and tell them that I have something to say." With a cold face, a forbearing pale face flashed through Lin Mo's mind. It was the elder brother of his original body, a quiet and forbearing brother. He couldn't help but feel distressed.
According to the original body's memory, Ge'er's status in this world is very humble, and generally only very poor families would marry Ge'er.
When Lin Sheng was younger, many people proposed to him, but later something happened at home and his younger brothers were sick. He couldn't bear to get married and just leave. He just endured all these years, putting it off again and again. He became the oldest man in the village, and no one was willing to propose marriage to him anymore.
After Lin Wen went out for a while, the shabby wooden door was opened wide. Several people came to the bed and looked at Lin Mo lying on the bed with different eyes. There were also many people outside the door, all leaning on the door and looking inside.
Although it is the busy farming season of spring planting, it cannot stop the gossiping spirit of the people, and they all talk enthusiastically about the matter.
Village chief Liu waved his hand, and the villagers shut up and waited for him to speak.
"Lin Jia Sanlang, are you feeling okay?"
Lin Mo nodded. He could see that the village chief was indeed a little worried about him. He looked up at the people in the room. Su Yunqiu was standing next to her mother.
Lin Mo looked her up and down carefully, and almost choked on a mouthful of blood. He thought she was some kind of fairy.
In recent years, Aunt Su has been talking about Su Yunqiu's beauty openly and secretly, praising her as if she were a fairy from heaven. But it turns out that she is just an ordinary country girl, and her appearance can only be described as being okay. The fairy was really too arrogant.
"Lin Mo, are you really paralyzed? You can't even sit up?" Su Yun's sarcastic tone was irritating, and she looked teasing, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or surprised.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Mo. The Lin family was already impoverished, and if Lin Mo was paralyzed in bed, his life would be even more difficult in the future. Since everyone was from the same village, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
Lin Mo's eyes fell on a gray-faced child beside Zhou Yunqiu. Everyone was looking at him, some with sympathy, some with gloating. No matter what, everyone was looking at him, except this child, who kept his head down from the moment he entered the house, as if he was outside.
