Chapter 1160: Don’t Cause Trouble!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In terms of this house and the things inside and outside, it was considered one of the best in the village.

In the past two years, other than her family, no other family in their village had the money to build a new house.

However, now that every household was thriving because of Xue Dafu’s family, many people opened up the wasteland to earn some money. Many of them were either working for Xue Dafu’s workshop or helping the village chief with odd jobs. In short, they were earning more money than before. It seemed that other families were about to be able to afford big houses except them…

Thinking of this, the family felt extremely regretful.

“If we knew that Sanfu would become an official, we wouldn’t have sent your birth characters to Feng even if we were beaten to death,” Mother Lin said.

Seeing that her parents had no intention of helping her, Lin Xicui was even more furious.

Lin Xicui’s brother was impatient. “Mother, what’s the point of saying that now? He’s an official now, and his future wife’s brother is also an official. Let’s not cry over spilled milk. We shouldn’t say anything to provoke them.

Otherwise, we might get in trouble.”

Mrs. Lin did not say anything. After all, she did not have the guts to provoke the Xue family again.

Sanfu had an official position and it was even higher than the county magistrate.

She would be scared to the point of death if she met a commander. How could she dare to provoke an official?

It was Mr Lin who spoke up first, “1 can’t stand for this! We didn’t know that much back then! Although the Xue family was not necessarily richer than Feng, they had a thriving business. Even if Feng saw them, he would have to kneel down and kowtow to them! Not to mention your mother, even I regret it! How did it end up like this?!”

Lin Xicui was so angry that she started crying. “Just you wait!” she cried. Her parents had no intention of helping her and were ignoring her existence. “I’ll get Sanfu’s attention and win him over!”

Her brother was shocked. “Tomorrow is his big day. The bride’s family is more important than you. We can’t afford to offend her! Don’t drag us down!”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Her sister-in-law was also frightened and quickly said. “Don’t mess around. It doesn’t matter if you were cast aside. We’ll work harder and open up more land to earn more money. We won’t starve to death. Why do you have to cause more trouble? Let’s just live our lives and live well, alright?”

“If you want to explore the wasteland, you guys go ahead,” Mrs Lin said. “I can’t stand the labor. The village chief said that all the villages within ten miles could be sold to Xue Dafu’s family, but with our relationship with Xue Dafu, there is no way he would buy the land from us. You can’t go around causing trouble. We can’t even afford to offend Fengs family, let alone the Xue family!

Mr Lin said, “Even if we don’t sell the wasteland to Xue Dafu, we still have to reclaim the wasteland and grow crops to survive! Feng is not willing to rent the land for us to plant now. If we don’t open up the land ourselves we will starve. Are we all going to just sit around and starve to death? Who wants to live like that?! There are many ways to live! Xi Cui, stop messing around. If anything happens, you should bear the burden by yourself. Don’t drag us down!”

“That’s right. If you want to cause trouble, don’t drag us down with you!” Lin Xicui was still afraid that she would be implicated. “Why don’t you take a look at yourself? You’re not a virgin anymore, and you’re not that good-looking.

He’s already such a high official now. There must be many people who want to curry favor with him. They’ll send their own innocent, good-looking girls who are younger than you to serve him as slaves or concubines.. When will he have the time to look at someone like you?”
