"Alas, kid, I'm glad I listened to your words today. Otherwise, they would have sold us to the Jia family. We wouldn't be able to hold our heads up high in the village anymore!"
"Yeah, Wanwan was really angry today. She was originally asked to bring a matchmaker to our house, but she was annoyed by the stepmother. She is so nice to me on weekdays, why do I have to have such a mother? Wuwuwu..."
Old Lady Lin came forward to wipe her tears, pulled her aside and asked, "Tiger Girl, let me ask you, have you ever seen the people from the Feng family?"
Lin Huniu nodded and told the truth: "I have seen it. The Yunyin Pavilion is just opposite our shop. It has a cooperative relationship with Baiweiju. Not long ago, they sent a chef to learn how to cook. The chef was the brother-in-law of the owner of the Yunyin Pavilion."
"I thought, they haven't even met you, so why would they ask a matchmaker to propose marriage? Mom, they asked three matchmakers!"
"So many! It seems that they still value Hu Niu very much. What about the brother-in-law of the boss?"
"Well, he's pretty good and efficient, but his cooking isn't that good, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me here to learn how to cook. He also takes good care of me on a daily basis..."
Old Mrs. Lin and Yang Hua smiled at each other. How could they not understand that Hu Niu was obviously in love and had fallen in love with him!
Old Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "Okay, go back to your room and rest! Wait until your father and the others come back. I think I will have to swallow my pride and go look for Miss Wan tomorrow!"
"Mom, I'll go with you!"
"Oh, good! Flowers still care about me, an old woman!"
In the evening, Lin Daqing and Yu Xier returned home dejectedly, and went back to the room to look for the silver.
It turned out that after hearing what they said, the Jia family changed their minds on the spot. Not only did they not want to get married, they also asked them to return the fifty taels of marriage gift they had paid in advance, as well as various gifts, and sent people to follow them back to get them.
Half of the fifty taels was given by Yu Xier to her parents' family for use. Upon seeing this, Lin Daqing immediately became furious and beat her until she cried loudly.
The people who were waiting outside to withdraw money saw that they were not coming out for a long time, so they rushed into their house and started shouting loudly.
Lin Daqing had no choice but to go to Old Lady Lin to borrow money.
After hearing this, Lin Youmao became furious again and picked up the teacup and smashed it.
"Get out of here, you bastard! Take your lazy wife with you and go wherever you want! I don't want a son like you!"
Seeing that he was angry again, Old Lady Lin hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Hey, boss, why are you so anxious? Be careful not to hurt your waist! The harvest will be ready soon, you have to be careful!"
Lin Youmao snorted twice and cursed, "You useless thing! You can lend me the money, but when you go to Yu Xier's house to get it back, you can come home! Otherwise, you can take her to live with my mother-in-law!"
Old Mrs. Lin snorted coldly, went back into the house to get the silver, and placed it heavily on the table.
"You have no conscience! I stand on your father's side this time! Unless he gives the order, neither of you can enter the house!"
This was the first time in his life that Lin Daqing was beaten so severely. He carefully took the silver and hurried to return the things, cursing Yu Xier hundreds of times in his heart!
Finally, after sending the man away, he took Yu Xier and knelt in front of his parents, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Yang Hua said sarcastically, "Didn't my sister-in-law find a good marriage for Hu Niu? How is the marriage going? What did the Jia family say?"
Yu Xier lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes fierce. In her heart, she felt relieved that she wanted to cut Yang Hua into pieces.
Mrs. Lin shouted, "I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?"
Yu Xier was frightened by her and shivered. She peed in her mouth and whispered, "Oh... Mom, I was really wrong... I was also deceived by the Jia family! I didn't expect that they were really after Lin Wan's recipe! It's all my fault!"
"If it's not your fault, it must be Hu Niu's fault! Do you really think I'm stupid? If you hadn't conspired with the Jia family, would they have given you fifty taels as a deposit? You sold Hu Niu and used the money from her selling to support her family. You are so shameless! Do you really think that our Lin family is easy to bully?"
Lin Youmao also spoke up, "Daqing, take Yu back to her parents' home tomorrow, get the money back, and have a good talk with her family about what she has done in the past two years. You are not allowed to bring her back without my permission!"
Lin Daqing agreed dejectedly. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. It was all his fault for being too indulgent to Yu Xier.
Lin Huniu suddenly felt like crying, venting all the grievances she had suffered over the years. She, the stepmother, finally got her retribution! Mom! Did you see that? From then on, she really stood up!
Thanks to Lin Wanwan for helping her, otherwise her life would be over! There would be countless oppressions in the future, how could she have the face to face her again? The favor she owed to her could only be repaid slowly in the future.
