Since Han Xi'er has agreed, as long as Lin Da also agrees, the matter will be settled!
After leaving Mazi's house, Lin Xiao rushed to her widowed aunt's house without stopping.
The widowed aunt was sitting in the yard choosing vegetables while cursing into the house:
"You're a loser. You just want to marry a hen that can't lay eggs. You're still trying to prevent me from getting rich. You're just the debt collector who came here to collect my debt!"
"My life is really hard! I became a widow at a young age and worked hard to raise my son, but what did I get in return?!"
Lin Xiao heard her widowed aunt's abuse outside the door and couldn't help laughing.
It seems that it is not difficult to persuade the widowed aunt to agree to the reconciliation between Lin Da and Han Xier.
Lin Xiao gently knocked on the courtyard door, and there was a sound of footsteps inside.
When the widowed aunt saw Lin Xiao coming, her disgusted face immediately burst into smiles:
"Xiao Linzi is here, come in and sit down, are you hungry? Auntie has some freshly baked pancakes here, would you like to try them?"
"Well, Auntie, I'm really a little bit greedy when you say that."
"Just wait, aunt will get it for you!"
The widowed aunt ran to the kitchen to get the cake she had just baked this morning.
At this time, the door of the main room opened with a creak, and Lin Da looked exhausted.
When he saw Lin Xiao sitting in the courtyard, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but then he became angry.
"Lin Xiao, why are you here again! You bastard! I tell you, if you dare to step here again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Lin Da reprimanded angrily, his eyes widened and his teeth gritted, as if he wanted to tear Lin Xiao into pieces!
"Brother Lin, I think you have misunderstood. I came here today not to find trouble, but to talk to you about reconciliation."
"Talk about peace and separation?"
Lin Da sneered:
"What are we talking about about reconciliation? Let me tell you, don't think that I don't know. You just want to instigate me to reconcile with that bitch Han Xi'er. Then you will reap the benefits, right?!"
Lin Da's face became more and more gloomy, and he said word by word:
"I tell you, stop dreaming! I, Lin Da, will never reconcile in this life, unless I die!"
"you"
After hearing what Lin Da said, Lin Xiao took out five taels of silver from his arms and couldn't help but sigh:
"How can there be such a stupid person like you in this world?"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Da raised his eyebrows.
"If I were you, I would accept these five taels of silver and then marry a young and fertile woman. Why not?"
What Lin Xiao said was very reasonable, and Lin Da could not refute it.
But he just couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.
Compared with marrying a new wife, torture and beating Han Xier can make you feel the joy of life more!
"Fifty taels of silver is too little, at least fifty taels!"
The widowed aunt came out of the kitchen carrying pancakes. She heard the conversation between Lin Xiao and Lin Da and quickly continued:
"Xiao Linzi, you promised my aunt before that you would let my unsatisfactory daughter-in-law go to the capital to do your accounts. Ten coppers a day means more than three taels of silver a year, and more than thirty taels of silver in ten years.
, Auntie wants fifty taels of silver from you, is that right?"
After hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled slightly:
"Yes, this is so appropriate! But..."
Lin Xiao changed the topic and brought the topic to Lin Da.
"But Brother Lin was so cruel yesterday. My sister-in-law is disfigured and her body seems not as strong as before. Therefore, she can't go to the capital with me to settle the score."
When the widowed aunt heard what Lin Xiao said, she suddenly lost her mind and cursed loudly at Lin Da:
"You damn beast! I love you so much for nothing! You unfilial son, you actually do such a heavy hand to your own daughter-in-law. You are going to make your mother and I angry to death!"
Lin Da remained silent after being scolded, and his face was so red that it almost bled, but he still lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
The widowed aunt cursed Lin Da and showed weakness to Lin Xiao:
"Xiao Linzi, look at this, it's not easy for this aunt. A widow not only raised her son, but also married him a daughter-in-law..."
"Auntie, I know it's not easy for you, so I gave you some extra money, but you asked for fifty taels of silver. I really can't afford it. It just so happens that Brother Lin is not willing to reconcile with his sister-in-law. So,
... Just pretend that I didn’t say anything about this, I’ll go back first.”
"No, Xiao Linzi, why are you in such a hurry to go back? You haven't tasted the cakes baked by my aunt yet! Let's talk, talk!"
The widowed aunt quickly pulled Lin Xiao into the main room, then put the cake on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Xiao, saying with enthusiasm.
Lin Xiao didn't refuse and just sat on the stool and started eating.
Although this cake doesn't look very good, it tastes really good. It has a crispy texture in your mouth.
"Is it delicious? There is still more after you finish eating, so feel free to eat it!"
The widowed aunt had a kind smile on her face and stared at Lin Xiao with her eyes full of expectation.
"Auntie, let's put it this way, you don't know the terms of reconciliation, one pound of meat and one pound of copper."
"Aunt Xi'er, it's not like you don't know that it weighs less than seventy kilograms. Adding up the little bits and pieces, it only costs four taels of silver."
"I know it's not easy for you, Auntie, so I added a little extra money to round up the whole number, five taels of silver."
"I don't plan to take back the one tael of silver I gave you before. It's a total of six taels of silver. If you are still not satisfied, then... I will no longer be this good old man."
Lin Xiao said while eating, as if he didn't want to do it.
Seeing Lin Xiao's desolate look, Lin Da felt even more irritated.
He shouted angrily:
"Anyway, I don't agree with He Li. If you really want to help that bitch He Li, just come up with fifty taels of silver! Otherwise, there's no need to talk!"
"Fifty taels of silver is impossible!"
Lin Xiao did not hesitate and refused directly.
She knew very well that Lin Da would not compromise so easily.
Therefore, she must retreat to advance, and conquering the widowed aunt is the right way.
Lin Xiao put down the pancake in his hand, cleared his throat, and continued:
"Auntie, as the old saying goes, I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. To be honest, I am not willing to wade into this muddy water."
"Let's see. Since Brother Lin doesn't want to reconcile with his sister-in-law, then he won't divorce her and just live a good life in the future. But I'm afraid you won't be able to have grandchildren in the future."
When the widowed aunt heard the last sentence, she jumped up as if someone had stepped on a chicken's neck.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean you can't have a grandchild! Are you cursing me?"
The widowed aunt scolded sharply.
Lin Xiao smiled lightly and said without fear:
"Auntie, don't get excited. I didn't say this, it was the master who said it."
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense to me here! We live in different parts of the country, where can we find a master?"
Lin Daleng snorted, obviously not believing what the master said.
The widowed aunt, on the other hand, seemed to believe Lin Xiao's words. She stared at Lin Xiao closely and asked:
"The master you are talking about is the one from Majia Village?"
