Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: She Stopped Thinking About It

So, at this time, if he could win back the marriage arrangement with the Prefecture Chief’s family, he would still have some leverage with his father.

"Of course, we can’t just let it go like this!" Madam Zhou said without a second thought.

"Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Prefecture Chief’s family and ask what exactly they want. We can’t keep dragging this marriage arrangement on; we need to settle it quickly."

Marriage to Lin Caisang was definitely out of the question. The marriage arrangement with the Prefecture Chief’s family was now the last security for their Zhou Liang.

As long as Liang married the Prefecture Chief’s Miss Nine and took good care of her, and if he worked hard to study more in the next three years, there would still be a chance after three years.

She wouldn’t have to deal with that old geezer every day anymore.

"Tomorrow?"

Old Master Zhou glanced at her.

"Why don’t you go today instead of waiting for tomorrow? Who knows what might happen?"

"This..."

Madam Zhou hesitated for a moment and looked up at the sky outside.

"Alright, I’ll go now."

...

In Ya Village, the Lin Clan was busy. Digging a pond wasn’t a task of just one or two days, and while everyone still had free time, they started to dig it.

The Ya Clan, since Clan Chief Ya hadn’t come to oversee the work, pushed forward several elders to take turns supervising, and they were working energetically as well.

Since the Lin Family also had a few acres of land there, Lin Baiyi went to help too.

Of course, there was another person involved, Liu Yushui, who had just bought three acres of land. After the Zhou Liang incident, Liu Yushui had matured quite a bit. Now, she was focused on raising her two daughters and living a good life in Ya Village.

She didn’t think about anything else.

"Be careful!"

Liu Yushui, carrying two buckets of mud, nearly stumbled and fell from a high place, but thankfully, Lin Baiyi was there to steady her.

"Thank you, Third Uncle."

Liu Yushui looked at him, gritted her teeth to adjust the carrying pole on her shoulders for a better grip, and thanked Lin Baiyi.

"Yushui, as a single mother with children, you shouldn’t come here to work. Your children at home are important." Lin Baiyi said as he looked at her gritted expression.

The village didn’t lack one more girl to work, and looking at her, she seemed able to compete with the men.

"It’s okay. The kids are just eating and sleeping now. While they’re asleep, I come here to do some work." Liu Yushui said and carried the mud forward.

"Sigh."

Lin Baiyi watched her walk away and sighed deeply.

People really had to go through something to grow up. Like Liu Yushui, having suffered before, she now understood how hard life could be.

But fortunately, she seemed to have figured out how to live.

"Changyi, come here."

"Dad, what do you need me for?"

Lin Changyi was near by, picking up large stones and carrying them out. Hearing his father calling him, he promptly dropped the stones and ran over.

"You kid, Sister Sangsang wasted silver sending you to school, and all you do is come here and mess around!"

"Dad, I’m doing serious work," Lin Changyi didn’t agree with him.

After all, they came here to help with their teacher’s approval; helping out in the morning and making up for the morning’s studies in the evening, they weren’t missing anything.

"What serious work? How old are you?"

Lin Baiyi gave his own son a look, resigned to his laziness and the fact that he always had so many excuses; he was quite fed up with his son.
