Anger aside, the matter still needs to be resolved.
Moreover, Yang Cui has the support of the Star Gazing Tower and the Su family of Kyoto, so Lin Shikang doesn't want to fall out with her. On the contrary, Lin Shikang really wants to reconcile with her. In this way, he can use the connections and resources that Yang Cui has. Besides, the current Yang Cui is no longer the ugly and ignorant village woman who couldn't be presented in public.
Thinking of this, Lin Shikang said, "Xiaocui, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the two children. You are not their biological mother. If you marry someone else in the future, do you think they will treat the children well?"
"The children have cut ties with you. What does it matter to you whether they are well or not? Besides..." Yang Cui smiled sarcastically, "Your family has never been particularly good to them. What kind of show are you putting on today?"
“I will naturally keep my mother in check from now on. Besides, as their grandmother, it is only right that my mother should be given appropriate discipline.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Cui jumped up in anger, grabbed a broom, and started hitting Lin Shikang.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
At first, Lin Shikang didn't react and took several blows.
"My Yang family's children don't need that old hag's lecture! Who does she think she is? Get out of here right now! Or I'll report you to the authorities for trespassing and harassing a respectable woman!"
Ever since he learned that Lin Shikang had returned, Yuan Qiu had been worried. He didn't go far while working today. When he saw his godmother swinging a broom at someone, he immediately ran home!
The weapons he had prepared could finally be put to use!
"Godmother, let me help you!" Yuan Qiu rushed over, holding a thorny branch in her hand!
These brambles were specially prepared by him for the third-ranked scholar!
"You...you guys are so rude!" Lin Shikang was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but for the sake of his future, he held back!
"Xiao Cui, think it over carefully. I have never thought about divorcing you, and I sincerely want to live with you and our two children." After saying that, Lin Shikang turned and left.
Yuan Qiu wanted to chase after her to fight, but Yang Cui grabbed him and said, "Don't chase her."
"Hmph, good thing he ran fast!" Yuan Qiu was particularly disappointed that he hadn't managed to hit him. "When Godfather gets back, I'll have him teach him a lesson!"
"What godfather? Call him uncle! Don't talk nonsense!"
Yuan Qiu said with an air of self-righteousness, "You're my godmother, and now that you're married, isn't he my godfather? Of course I'll call him whatever you say. I'm the only man in the family, and I'll be there to support you in the future!"
Yang Cui felt incredibly pleased and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid your uncle will get angry?"
"If he's angry, just try to appease him."
Yang Cui: "..."
——
After leaving Anjia Village, Lin Shikang did not return to Lin'an Village, but went to Wan'an County.
Lin Shikang first went to see Sun Dewen, then went to the county jail to see Lin Mingcai, and finally went to see the county magistrate Yin Zhihua...
The next morning, as Yang Cui and Cen Xiao were discussing how to build the house, officials from the yamen arrived.
"Miss Yang, our county magistrate requests that you bring your two children with you." Constable Li's attitude was very respectful.
"I wonder what business the county magistrate has with a village woman like me? Is it to bring the mastermind behind Lin Chunmei to justice?" Yang Cui slipped a piece of silver to Constable Li.
Constable Li casually pocketed the money and said, "It's related to Lin Tanhua's matter. I heard he came to see the magistrate yesterday, but I don't know the specifics."
"Thank you for informing me, Officer Li. I'll pack my things and then go with you."
Since it was Lin Shih-kang who was behind this, and he even made sure to bring two children along, it's probably related to child custody.
Yang Cui was well aware of their motives in fighting for custody, and she was determined not to let them succeed.
Yang Cui returned to her room, found the divorce papers from that day, tucked them into her bosom, and then, together with Cen Xiao and the children, rode in an oxcart into the city to the county government office.
On their way, they encountered the Lin family again. This time, when Fan, Linniu, and the others saw Yang Cui, they no longer felt tense.
Cen Xiao said to Yang Cui, "This time, Lin Shikang's intentions are probably not just to fight for custody of the children."
"He's probably trying to clear his name."
For Lin Shikang, the purpose of studying hard for more than ten years was to escape rural life and become a superior person, so how could he not take any action in his current situation?
When they arrived at the county government office, the courtroom was already surrounded by a large crowd.
"I heard that the heartless scholar Lin Tanhua has returned, and the county magistrate is re-examining their case today."
"Is this some kind of collusion among officials? That would be so pitiful for the Yang family."
"Sigh, who knows!"
………
As Yang Cui approached, she heard a lot of chatter...
Cen Xiao said in a low voice, "It seems he is very well prepared."
"I'm really curious to know how he plans to play."
After saying this, Yang Cui led the two children into the courtroom.
When Mrs. Fan saw the two children, her face was full of affection: "Grandma's darlings!" After saying that, she opened her arms and ran over to hug the children, which startled the two children, who took several steps back.
Yang Cui stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Grandma, don't frighten my child."
"Xiao Cui, I'm just concerned about the two children." Madam Fan said loudly, looking somewhat aggrieved, clearly saying it for the public to hear and for others to see.
"Hehe, we dare not accept your concern. Don't let it cause my child serious injury and make him have nightmares every night and wake up in the middle of the night." Yang Cui said loudly enough for everyone present to hear.
After saying that, she added, "Please, have mercy on the two children! They are your own granddaughters, and you don't want them anymore. Please don't make things difficult for them, okay?" As she said this, Yang Cui's tone was pleading, and tears were about to fall.
