Chapter 77.1

Chapter 77.1

Mother Fang was sad, but when she suddenly heard these words, she almost forgot she was crying.

What did you say?!

I said, I will marry Sister.

Lin Shiheng knelt on the ground, his back propped straight. In this world, its always much harder for women with no husband. Since this is the case, why not let me take Sister back? I will become Sisters support. When the time comes, its better to get divorced and remarry, than to be laughed at for the rest of her life!

Mother Fangs mind was blank at the moment. His words were slowly sinking into her mind, but reason was telling her that this wasnt right.

Youve just turned 15 years old. Even if you wanted to marry a wife, you should still marry a good familys daughter, not let Sister Chengs drag you down

Also she disparaged her daughter with these words, Mother Fangs heart was aching in pain. She held down the pain as she sobbed in a low voice, Good boy, I understand your good intentions. When we bring Sister Cheng back, its good enough if you can be her support. You dont have to Dont have to

Although she loved her daughter, she didnt want Lin Shiheng to sacrifice himself for her daughter. Tears covered her face as Mother Fang desisted, thinking her well-pampered daughter had been humiliated like this. Her heart felt like it was burning in a pot of hot oil, and her body was trembling.

Aunt, youre mistaken.

Lin Shiheng didnt agree to her words, but he remained on the ground. His eyes were full of determination as he said, I naturally understand what kind of person Sister is, so I didnt dare to marry someone like her before. I felt that I couldnt study and that I was a lowly orphan, so I didnt dare ask Sister to suffer hardships with me. Now, that b*stard is going to divorce Sister, and the Shen family will probably agree to it. When Sister comes home with my little nephew, there will be countless rumors outside. She is a gentle person; how could she bear that kind of suffering? Im afraid, Sister would go to the deep end, and wouldnt be able to let go. The child has no father, he will be ridiculed in the future.

When Lin Shiheng mentioned children, Mother Fang loosened up a bit. She was born in this city and had lived there for so many years, so she naturally knew what the citys atmosphere was like. If the child was brought back, according to the Fang familys situation today, the child would be ridiculed all through his life. There was also her daughter, a woman without a husband. Even going out would be difficult for her. Even if she felt sorry for her daughter, others wouldnt. The rumors in this city were so bad, they were comparable to a blade.

For a moment, she thought about how difficult it would be for her daughter to live without a husband. However, when she thought about how young Brother Heng was, if she agreed to this, wouldnt it ruin his future marriage?

(TNote: Explanation; some people might be wondering why the Mother kept calling her children Sister Cheng and Brother Heng. To put it simply, its just another way/instead of using the commonly known way of addressing in other eras, with Elder/Younger Sister or Younger/Older Brother, she just uses the last syllable of their names, and because she doesnt have other children, there are no ranks by birth. Hope it helps~)

She cried as she sat there thinking when a little girl rushed into the yard outside.

Brother Heng, all the men are ready. They are waiting for you outside.

Lin Shiheng stood up slowly, Auntie, dont think too much for now. Ill pick up Sister first, so they wont be able to bully her any further.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Even if Mother Fang wanted to say a thousand words, she swallowed them down. She was supported by the little girl to the door as she watched Lin Shiheng lead those men with sticks in their hands towards the direction of the Shen family.

In this chaotic era, some local people were starving enough to eat bark, and some were prosperous enough to party every night. Jin City was one of those prosperous areas. Most of the people living in the city were the rich families from the old dynasty. Now that the foreign culture had stormed in, everyone learned from the foreigners. Regardless of what scene it was outside, in their own place, of course, they should have fun. The people in Jin City were better off than other places. Compared to years ago, when winter came, a group of people would freeze to death.

In the cold winter, there were few people coming out. Yet, when Lin Shiheng led the nearly 30 courtyard workers with sticks in their hands to walk aggressively, it attracted the attention of many. Nowadays, times are hard. If one could earn 1 months salary in 1 day, no one would refuse. Therefore, as Lin Shiheng thought before, all the male members of the Fang residence agreed to go.

Old Shen is now a being made into a joke, how could you not watch it?!

But if the Shen family gets angry at us

Those who are encouraging their buddies to go on together smiled stiffly in their faces. After half a second, he rolled his eyes.

We didnt come in to see the joke, we just heard that Brother Shen came back from abroad and wanted to pay him a visit.

The fox friends have always been in cahoots with him, and once they heard him say this they immediately understood what it meant. They exchanged a few glances with each other and smiled.

Yes, at least when we were young, we also studied in the same school. Our classmate came back, so why would it be strange to visit him?

Go, go, go. We wont be able to see anything if were late.

Since they figured a good reason for themselves, the three werent willing to waste any more time and walked in together with a smile.

The Shen residence was naturally very large. Even now, if someone went to the young master and young madams courtyard to see the commotion, there would still be people continuing to work. Seeing so many people come in, it was inevitable that they would scream to get someone, but they were all knocked unconscious by Lin Shihengs quick hand. Therefore, the group managed to silently walk all the way in, avoiding attracting the attention of people in the backyard. The few gentry who followed behind looked at those who looked like corpses on the ground while tsking and skirting carefully, deciding in their hearts not to offend Lin Shiheng even if they had to offend someone.

He looked like such a gentle person, but he turned out to be so ruthless.

Lin Shiheng knocked people out. It was just so they couldnt make a fuss, alert the backyard, and leave a chance to cover up the scandal. He made his way through unhindered, because he was familiar with the entrance of the courtyard where he had visited before.

There was the sound of a woman sobbing in the yard, and a male voice resoundingly saying something.

Lin Shiheng came closer and heard that the man was saying that the marriage with Fang Licheng was originally a feudal arranged marriage. Before marriage, he and Fang Licheng had never talked about love. This marriage was the intention of both parents from beginning to end. It was a new society now. Even if he were to marry, he would marry a woman with literary talent, instead of an illiterate woman who only knew how to stay in the courtyard all day long, without the slightest concern for national affairs.

The boy was loud and resolute, the words resounding. Clearly, the man was very confident. Listening to it, Lin Shiheng turned blue. He sneered and kicked open the door.

Bang!

His kick carried his full fury, and the courtyard door directly collapsed with a bang. The male voice inside stopped, and someone came out to see what had happened. Lin Shiheng, however, ignored them and led the men straight into the room, clapping his hands in praise, Good! Well said!!! Ive always heard that Young Master Shen had excellent education and outstanding character. Today, I see, this is really the case!

His handsome face was full of ridicule, with a cold smile on his lips. He looked at Shen Yunqing, who was kneeling on the ground towards Shen parents, as if he was looking at a dead man. He came in with great momentum and anger on his face. The Shen family didnt know that he had been informed before he came here. Mother Shen had always been close to Fang Licheng, like a pair of mother and daughter, and sisters with Mother Fang. At that moment, she saw the Fang family come over. She lowered her head to cover her expression, only feeling guilty toward the Fang family.

Father Shen was shrewder than she was. When he saw Lin Shiheng, his face only changed slightly. Good nephew, why have you come?

Why cant I come? If I didnt, our Fang familys only Miss that married over, who served Young Master Shens parents when he went abroad for a long time and didnt return, the Fang familys Miss who just gave birth to your Shen familys flesh and blood, even with a body that just gave birth, would be driven out by your Shen family!!
