The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 8 Breaking off the Engagement (2)

"After lunch, I went to bed. I'm not hungry yet. Chang Ting, Yan Zhi, share this steamed bun." Lin Ziyin handed the steamed bun over, "Sister, help share it."

"This?" Lin Zige was a little embarrassed. Of course, she also saw the envy in the eyes of the two children.

The conditions at home are poor. The two children follow the adults and only eat two meals a day, and they eat the worst whole grains. It is reasonable for them to be greedy when they see white steamed buns and rice porridge. But Ziyin's body was too weak and he definitely needed nourishment.

"I don't want it." The thin Lin Changting shook his head and refused, "I want the second sister to eat it. After the second sister eats it, her health will be better."

"No." Lin Yanzhi was Lin Changting's little tail. When he saw his uncle rejecting the white steamed buns, the little guy shook his head firmly, but he couldn't bear to look away from the steamed buns.

"They say the second sister is not hungry anymore." Lin Ziyin said with a smile.

"You eat, I don't want you to die." Lin Changting suddenly became excited.

"Don't die." There was a cry in the little guy's voice.

"No." Lin Changting ran out, and Lin Yanzhi chased after him without saying a word.

"They are all worried about you. I don't know how many times I have cried when I saw you lying on the bed these days. Eat the steamed buns and take good care of yourself." Lin Zige sighed and then advised her.

Lin Ziyin saw her disheveled expression, silently picked up the bowl and started eating.

She secretly made up her mind to get well as soon as possible and then improve her family's life.

"Old man, we came here today to ask when you can return the two taels of silver we paid for the original engagement. You also know that the life of our Ma family is not very easy, and Zhicai still has to be handed over to Shu Xiu. You Can you return the money to us as soon as possible?" A female voice suddenly came from outside the house, a bit mean.

"Old man, we had no choice but to come here. We came here for free. You..." Another man's voice came.

"Old man, it's not that we are making things difficult for you. We have no choice but to force the folks from the countryside to cancel the marriage. Zhicai is knowledgeable, but Zige is illiterate. The two children reluctantly got together and had nothing to say. Maybe they can still become friends. Enemies, it’s better to break up as soon as possible. When a man marries a woman, it won’t affect anyone, right?” the woman Balabala said outside the house.

What about my sister's divorce?

Lin Ziyin's face froze, and she subconsciously glanced at Lin Zige opposite.

Lin Zige, who was sitting in front of the bed, looked angry and shy, and his hands were clenched into fists. It seemed that he was trying his best to control the anger in his heart.

Lin Ziyin suddenly lost his favorable impression of people outside. The woman outside the house said it nicely. Marriage between a man and a woman was irrelevant. Of course there would be no problem in modern times. But this was ancient times, and a woman would be criticized if her engagement was withdrawn. Maybe it would be difficult for Lin Zige to find her husband's family in the future.

And the reason for breaking off the engagement turned out to be just that the man was admitted as a child student. Isn't this a typical breach of trust?

"Auntie, you begged a matchmaker to come to your home to propose marriage. But now that you see Zhicai has become a child, you come to your home to cancel the engagement. You have some problems with our Lin family." Guo Huiniang's voice was filled with anger, " If you want to back off, dear, then back off. We, the Lin family, have not made things difficult for you for the sake of the fellow villagers. But how can we get the money together in this short period of time? "

"What do you mean?" The Ma family woman's voice rose, "Our Ma family gave us a lot of money, and you spent it all on the sick people. Now you ask us how we can collect the money? How do we know? Is it possible? Do you, the Lin family, want to waste your money?"

"Aunt..." Lin Changshu said.

"Don't call me aunt, and pay back the money as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't leave." The Ma family woman has a tendency to quarrel, "If others know that you even want to hold back the money after breaking off the engagement, you Lin family will Are you still shameless?"

"It's your Ma family that's shameless." Hearing this, Lin Zige couldn't listen anymore and rushed out.

Lin Ziyin, who was listening carefully, didn't even notice her actions.
