When everyone recalled the whole incident, it was indeed the wife-buyer who had been embarrassing this upright lady, so the eyes they looked at her changed.
"The lady is right, it was this wife buyer who was causing trouble all along."
"Yes, they just didn't buy you, and they don't owe you a favor. Why should they buy you if you want them to buy you?"
"They are dealing with a wife's affairs, how can you, a wife-buyer, get involved?"
"That's right. She actually dares to force people to bet with her."
"It's okay to force someone to gamble, but if you lose the bet, you still want to cheat!"
"This lady is right. Since you have made a bet, you should be willing to admit defeat."
"That is, you were afraid of being beaten to death by your husband, so you shouldn't have asked for a bet. Now that you have lost, you said you would be beaten to death by the buyer of your husband to default on your debt."
"You need at least one hundred taels of silver to buy a wife, right? This candle only costs fifteen taels of silver. How could your husband destroy a hundred taels of silver just for fifteen taels of silver?"
"Yeah, she said beating her to death is totally impossible."
Someone shouted: "I seem to have heard that a peasant has bought a wife again. Could it be her?"
"Yes, her husband is a peasant."
"A small farmer ran away to buy his wife for five years, and now he has bought another one. If he beat her to death, his family would not have the money to buy him another one."
"The beating to death she said will definitely not happen, only one fight at most."
"If you lose a bet, being beaten is nothing. Who buys a wife and hasn't been beaten by her husband?"
…
Mrs. Lin felt a little stupid when she heard everyone's words. Not long after she was bought home by her husband, someone actually knew about her husband's situation.
How could she rely on it?
Mengyu twitched the corner of her mouth and said to the waiter: "The waiter, you are a witness. Remember to deliver my candles. I'll leave first."
The waiter bowed again: "Don't worry, madam, I will help you to your seat."
Mengyu took Xiaonian and Xiaohong away, and the woman surnamed Lin chased after her: "Don't leave yet, give me fifty candles."
Mengyu didn't want to pay attention to her, so she wanted to grab Mengyu, but Mengyu flicked her sleeves, and she fell to the ground: "I'm beating people, bullying people. Please help me call the officials from the town government."
!”
Everyone looked at her like she was an idiot. Who cares about such a trivial matter?
What's more, she seemed to have forgotten her identity. It was normal for a man who bought a wife and coveted someone else's family to be beaten. What's more, they just shook off her hand.
Seeing that everyone ignored her, Ms. Lin felt very aggrieved and simply burst into tears.
Mengyu ignored her and left with the people.
She is indeed pitiful. She is a young lady from a wealthy family, but she was innocently implicated when her family committed a crime. But, is that none of her business?
If she didn't covet Gu Dongxing, she might have given her some sympathy, but she actually dared to covet Gu Dongxing and was so confident, why should she sympathize with her?
When Mrs. Lin ignored her, she could only get up and glared at Mengyu's back fiercely: "I won't just let it go!" After that, she ran back.
Lin ran into the alley and her pace slowed down.
The money was spent but the candle was not returned. If she returned home like this, she would definitely not be able to escape a beating.
She must find a way to escape this disaster.
Suddenly, she remembered what everyone was talking about just now: a peasant farmer ran away five years ago to buy his wife!
Although the woman she bet with today didn't reveal her fault, she was good at observing the subtleties. The woman was obviously evading when it came to the marriage certificate. It was certain that she did not have a marriage certificate!
If you propose to a man, say that woman is his runaway wife...
