Chapter 1812: Chapter 1812: Asking Me for Five Hundred Taels of Silver

"All right, then, I’ll just say it."

As Lin Changhong spoke, he turned his gaze toward Lin Baiyi and Yang Lin.

"Actually, Third Uncle and Third Aunt probably don’t know enough about Eldest Uncle Yang. In Yang Family Village, he wasn’t just involved with two widows, almost every good-looking widow there has had relations with him. It just so happened that those two became pregnant with his children."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Lin stopped crying and was utterly stunned.

"This... this... what are we to do, Baiyi, we... we..."

That was her own elder brother, how could he do such shameless things? Her sister-in-law was a virtuous woman who shouldered all domestic responsibilities by herself.

Even if she hadn’t borne an elder brother a son, she had borne five daughters!

How could he betray his wife in the village by committing such despicable acts? One or two weren’t enough, he actually...

If she wasn’t mistaken on returning this time, there were more than a dozen young widows in Yang Family Village!

Among them, how many had relations with her brother?

"Don’t worry yet, let’s hear Changhong out."

Lu Qiubo also knew the seriousness of the situation. One’s reputation was something no one could really clear up.

Yet that shameless man was the Eldest Uncle of her dear Changfeng. If others were to learn that Changfeng had such an uncle, in the future... what future could there be?

"I have inquired. While Eldest Uncle Yang had relations with those widows, there were several among them who also had relations with other men in the village, not just Eldest Uncle Yang."

Lin Changhong continued to speak.

The intricacies among the people in Yang Family Village were numerous; anyway, he couldn’t explain them clearly in a short time.

"To say that Eldest Uncle Yang wanted to take those two widows as his wives, it’s not that simple. Firstly, their in-laws would definitely not agree, because they each have children from their in-laws."

"So that’s why he came looking for me, Changhong."

Yang Lin began crying again, with the mere thought of her maternal family, thinking of her own mother, she felt like she had lived her years in vain.

"Father, Mother, you don’t know, the moment my mother opened her mouth, she asked me for five hundred taels of silver. She even claimed it was too little, and that she was charging less because I am her daughter."

She wanted to say, if she weren’t her mother’s daughter, could her mother demand such an exorbitant amount from her?

Five hundred taels of silver, wasn’t that practically asking for her life?

Where could she find such a huge sum of money? Even selling herself wouldn’t fetch five hundred taels!

"Tsk, that’s really ruthless, to boldly ask for five hundred taels just like that," the Elder Princess also clicked her tongue lightly and shook her head.

For an ordinary family, could they earn five hundred taels of silver in a lifetime? Even if they could, doesn’t the family need to eat and drink?

"Lin, you don’t need to worry, you still have Changfeng."

"It’s because I have Changfeng that I’m worried!"

Yang Lin raised a hand to her face and wiped away her tears.

She thought to herself, if her mother’s actions were to interfere with her son’s future prospects, what should she do?

"Mother, don’t be sad. If worst comes to worst, I just won’t go to Jianan City. I will stay in Yejun to teach. What can maternal grandmother and the others do to me?" Lin Changfeng said.
