Chapter 8: I'm Not A Weak Girl!!

  The village head and Seventh Uncle saw that no one had any objections, and the three siblings, Dabiao, San, and Erbiao, were more determined than ever. He sighed, shook his head, and called for his second son, Dagui, to come over. Lin Dagui had studied for a few years but didn't pass the imperial examination, so he returned home to farm. However, he was still considered literate. As soon as Dagui arrived, he helped Lin Chunsan write a divorce letter and two disownment letters according to his wishes. He then asked Lin Laotou, Dabiao, Da Tou, and Er Biao to affix their handprints, and finally had Dagui sign the names of the village head and Seventh Uncle, considering it done.

  Lin Chun took the divorce papers and letter of separation, looked at them for a while, found they were in simplified characters, felt very happy in her heart, but didn't show any expression on her face, so as not to arouse suspicion, pretended to blow off some ink, carefully folded them up, took out an old cloth from her bosom and wrapped them up carefully, then put them back into her bosom.

  The villagers, seeing that things were almost over, dispersed one after another, discussing the matter. The village head and Seventh Uncle and Aunt also left with a flick of their sleeves, and before leaving, they severely criticized Old Man Lin again, and also told him to teach Lin Xiaohua some discipline together with his wife. Liu Erniang saw that the two heavyweight figures had left, and she was no longer holding back her temper, immediately starting to scold, while Lin Chundou pretended not to see or hear anything.

  Mr. Dashan and Mrs. Cuihua supported Da Tou and Er Ya, while another person supported Lin Chun, and they all walked out of the yard. Seeing that everyone had left, Old Lady Lin and Little Flower opened the door and came out together. "Hmph, those three good-for-nothings should have been driven away long ago! They even got a full meal at noon, it's like feeding pigs!" Old Lady Lin, who was almost sixty years old, scolded loudly, her chest heaving up and down with excitement, without even looking at Mr. Lin's face before speaking. Little Flower also chimed in from the side, while Liu Erniang added fuel to the fire.

  Lin Lao Tou let out a cold snort, and Lin Lao Tai and Lin Xiao Hua simultaneously shut their mouths. Earlier, when the village head left, he had scolded him severely. Now, hearing his wife and daughter quarreling at home, he was also very displeased. Liu Er Niang saw that Lin Lao Tou's face was dark and knew that he must have been criticized by the village head earlier, so she quickly stepped forward to mediate, "Brother-in-law, calm down, today we drove away those three good-for-nothings... oh no, I mean, it's a good thing that we drove away Da Ya and her siblings. Think about it, in the future when Xiao Hua gets married, Er Lang will be alone at home, and he can remarry and have two grandsons for you and your wife. It'll be great to have a big family together, and there's no need to divide the household or live separately. Er Lang and his wife can also serve you and your wife, isn't that great?"

  Mr. Lin felt a bit better after listening to Liu Erniang's words, took out his pipe from his waist and went to the corner of the yard to smoke, Mrs. Lin and Lin Xiaohua also didn't dare say more, fearing Mr. Lin would be unhappy and look for trouble with them, so they returned to their respective rooms. Liu Erniang also turned around and went back home.

  Lin Er Lang, went to the town early in the morning, first rushed to his employer's house to finish his work hastily, then hurriedly went to the only brothel in the town, brought the madam of the brothel, took a cart and came to Linjia Village. What did he come for? Of course, it was to take a look at Lin Chun again, and then discuss the price, to sell Lin Chun!

  Arrived at Old Man Lin's house, seeing that the house was quiet, Lin Er Lang's heart was filled with joy, thinking that Da Ya must be like before, hiding in the room with Da Tou and Er Ya. He hastily entered the main house of Old Man Lin and his wife, where he saw Niang Mama wearing red and green, standing out on the ox cart all along the way. Although it was already evening, many people still saw her, but everyone knew that Da Ya had already broken off relations with the Lin family, so they didn't pay much attention. However, there were still a few who followed to Old Man Lin's house.

  The people who were in a hurry to catch the bus stopped the cow on one side, and the madam got off the car and entered Lao Lin's courtyard. Lin Xiaohua happened to want to come out of the house to go to the toilet, saw a strange woman dressed up with flowers and silver hairpins standing in her own courtyard, and was curious, so she walked over. The madam thought that Lin Xiaohua was the girl that Lin Er Lang had told her about, so she circled around Lin Xiaohua several times to take a look, but the more she looked, the more dissatisfied she became. This person was clearly no longer a young maiden, and yet Lin Er Lang had said that she was still young and needed to be cultivated for several years before being able to take over her brothel. She thought to herself that she wanted to cultivate a good daughter to inherit her business, which is why she followed him here, but it turned out that she had been deceived.

  Lin Er Lang came out of Old Man Lin's house, heard what Old Lady Lin said about the events that happened at home today, and was furious. He angrily wanted to go to the village to bring back Lin Chun. When he saw Lin Er Lang coming out with a gloomy face, he shouted: "Lin Er Lang, you scoundrel! You told me it was a delicate and beautiful young girl, but this little girl is not a virgin anymore! Are you fooling me? I'm a busy person, and the sky will be dark soon. I have business to do at night, do you know how much money I'll lose because of this trip?! If it weren't for...

  Old Lady Lin heard someone in her own courtyard scolding her precious son as a cheat, opened the door and walked out, just about to scold back, saw a coquettish woman in the courtyard pointing at her daughter Lin Xiaohua and loudly abusing her, hearing her words, almost didn't come up for air, eyes in front of her went black.

  Lin Er Lang was also startled, Lin Er Lang knew that the madam had been observing women for years and was quite accurate. She said that if Little Sister wasn't a virgin then she definitely wasn't, and seeing Xiao Hua's guilty appearance, it was clear that she was afraid and conscience-stricken. At this point, he couldn't care about Lin Chun anymore and hastily went forward to cover the madam's mouth.

  "What?! Won't happen?! Lin Xiaohua isn't a yellow flower lady anymore?"

  "Look at that woman's appearance, she must be from a brothel, wanted to take Dabao away, but ended up falling for Lin Xiaohua, who would have thought..."

  "It's just that those who have been doing this kind of thing for a long time, harming people's families, their eyes are sharp, I reckon eight or nine out of ten times it's true..."

  "Look at Lin Xiaohua's face, it's obvious that she's guilty of something..."

  Lin Er Lang heard the whispers of his fellow villagers outside the courtyard and knew that something was amiss. He quickly glanced at Lin Xiao Hua several times with his eyes, and Lin Xiao Hua also realized what was happening. She didn't dare to go to the toilet anymore and hastily followed him back into the house with her head down, as if she were being chased by a vicious dog. Lin Lao Tai also followed them in.

  As her own daughter had been ruined, Lin Lao Tai was furious that she hadn't known anything about it as a mother. Lin Xiao Hua thought to herself that since Star Brother was coming to propose anyway, she might as well tell the truth when facing Lin Lao Tai's scolding. So she told everything in detail.

  The more Lin Lao Tai listened, the angrier she became, and eventually, she fainted from rage.
