But as soon as Lin Weiming left, he couldn't hold back any longer and launched into a tirade against Zhao Chunniang.
"Mother, do you really dislike me that much? Don't you want me anymore?" Wang Hu asked, looking aggrieved.
His mother usually dotes on him, but today she's trying every possible way to send him away.
"Oh no... son, don't overthink it, that's not what I meant." Zhao Chunniang coaxed her son a couple of times, but her tone was no less forceful towards Wang Dazhu: "You silly boy, you have no brains at all! I'm only saying this for the sake of our family, aren't I?"
"For the sake of our family, you sent my son away! Why don't you send your own son away too?" Wang Dazhu said angrily.
Zhao Chunniang rolled her eyes: "Fool, I'm only doing this for your own good. The world is in such a mess these days. Where do those starving ghosts come from? Aren't they all from outside? Our village is fine now, but what about the other villages? Can you guarantee that ghosts won't come again in the future?"
"Today we're starving ghosts, tomorrow we might be hanged ghosts! Even if the two of us die, it's not a big deal, but if our son is gone, you'll be heartbroken! If we send our son to someone else, with that little girl from the Lin family protecting him, our son's life might be better than it is at home."
Although Zhao Chunniang was still somewhat unconvinced, she had already decided in her heart that the Lin family were good people, and even if her son became a live-in son-in-law, they would definitely not mistreat him.

In the past year or two, as more people have died outside, the number of ghost sightings in the village has also increased.
This family alone encountered it twice this year.
Will it become more frequent in the future?
Their Ning'an Village now looks like a small paradise, but it's not completely isolated from the outside world. They also know that many people have probably died in other villages over the past year.
“But if my son is sent to another family to become a live-in son-in-law, won’t the Wang family line end?” Wang Dazhu was still a little worried.
"Is the continuation of your Wang family line more important, or your son's life?" Zhao Chunniang asked.
"This..." Wang Dazhu was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer.
He loved his son dearly, and his son's life was of course important.
But why does he love his son so much?
Isn't that all for the sake of continuing the Wang family line?
