Chapter 248 Expelled from the Village, Driven Out of the Home
Zhu Shaoli calmed down considerably after hearing Ning Bao and Zhong Yanli's conversation.
Originally, Zhu Shaoli was indeed a little bit soft-hearted.
He thought that with the bandit Lao San dead, Zhong Yanli, a weak woman with a child, would have no way to survive in the future.
Therefore, he felt that if Zhong Yanli was willing to return to the Zhu family, he would not interfere. Anyway, the Zhu family had no heir and plenty of money, so raising a woman and a child would not be a problem at all. As long as Zhong Yanli was willing to let the child take the surname Zhu, he didn't care about anything else.
Anyway, everyone else is dead. As long as she doesn't harm her family, that's fine. He had originally planned to ask his family to give Zhong Yanli some property so she could live independently when he appeared in her dream tonight.
Now it seems this woman doesn't deserve any sympathy at all.
Zhu Shaoli finally saw Zhong Yanli for who she really was, while Zhong Yanli looked at Ning Bao in horror.
She kept wondering how this girl knew Zhu Shaoli, and Zhong Yanli even suspected that Zhu Shaoli was not dead.
But she remembered that the third bandit told her that Zhu Shaoli was not only dead, but his body was also incomplete. How could someone whose body was incomplete come back to life?
Zhong Yanli's mind raced, but she finally calmed down and looked at Ning Bao with tears streaming down her face.
"Little sister, do you know my husband?"
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow.
"You dirty old lady, you have so many husbands, I don't know which one you're referring to?"
"Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!" Zhong Yanli burst into tears.
“I am a respectable woman, and I did not want to end up like this. I came out to do business with my husband Zhu Shaoli, but I did not expect to encounter bandits when we passed through Erlong Mountain.”
They not only robbed me of my money but also murdered my husband. In the end, seeing that I was young and beautiful, the third bandit leader kidnapped me and took me to the mountain to be his wife.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
"My life is so miserable. I'm just a weak woman pregnant, I really don't know how I'm going to survive."
Zhong Yanli started crying again, seemingly genuinely, while wiping the dirt off her face with her sleeve as she cried.
Before long, everyone saw Zhong Yanli's stunningly beautiful face.
Most men are visual creatures, and many single, older men in Shanglin Village immediately "soften" when they see Zhong Yanli's face.
One of them, Lin Er, came from a poor family and had never been able to get married. He finally managed to find a wife before fleeing the famine, but before they could even get married, they had to leave to escape the famine.
On the day he fled the famine, he even went to visit his fiancée's family, but unfortunately, they were already empty. Having suffered from hunger for many years, Lin Er couldn't help but salivate when he saw Zhong Yanli.
“Girl, you really are quite pitiful. If you don’t mind, I, Lin Er, am willing to marry you. I will treat the child in your belly as my own. Girl, you…”
"Smack!"
Before Lin Er could finish speaking, his mother slapped him hard on the head. Old Mrs. Lin glared angrily at her son.
"You useless thing, are you so obsessed with women that you'd marry any woman you want?"
Don't you even look at that woman's face? Narrow forehead, thin lips, triangular eyes, high cheekbones—she looks like someone destined for misfortune and a bad luck charm, someone who brings misfortune to her husband.
You still want to marry her? Aren't you afraid that you might have the life to marry her but not the life to enjoy it?
Look, she's already caused the death of her husband in just a few days, and then she caused the death of her bandit husband. If you want to be the next one to be cursed to death, then marry her.
However, I must make this clear: if you marry this woman, you will no longer be my son, and I will tell the village chief to remove you from the village register.
The village chief, standing not far away, raised his voice in strong agreement.
"Yes, if Lin Er marries someone with impure intentions, he will be expelled from the family register, and you will have no further connection with the Lin family of Linjia Village."
Upon hearing that marrying this woman would not only result in him being kicked out of his home but also banished from the village, Lin Er immediately chickened out.
“Village chief, I was just joking. Although I’m an old bachelor, I’m not so desperate as to marry a woman of unknown origin.”
After Lin Er finished speaking, he eagerly took his mother's arm.
"Mom, don't be angry, getting angry will make you age faster."
I was just talking nonsense. I was just thinking that you always nag me about wanting to have a grandson.
If I bring this woman home, you'll not only have a daughter-in-law, but also a ready-made grandson...
"Smack!"
"Lin Er, you little bastard, I think you're trying to drive me crazy! Even if I never have a grandson in my life, I'll never let this woman into the house..."
Old Mrs. Lin grew angrier and angrier, so she simply took off her shoes and chased after Lin Er, beating him...
