Chapter 147: Wang Miaomiao's collapse and Lin Ze's cowardice
Hearing Lin Ze's voice, the panic in Old Mrs. Lin seemed to have found an outlet.
Tell the whole story that just happened.
Lin Ze listened to his mother's story with mixed feelings:
So...this hundred kilograms of corn is not Wang Miaomiao's dowry, but her debt?
Not only did her family pay a high betrothal gift to marry her, but they also paid off her huge debts?
Why do I have this strong feeling of being deceived into marriage?
Moreover, as Lin Ze listened to his mother's venting, his eyes slowly turned to her mouth. He always felt that there was a leak in his mother's words.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, just take a look.
My mother's two big front teeth were gone.
"Mom...where are your teeth?" Lin Ze asked with his mouth wide open.
When Mrs. Lin heard Lin Ze mention her teeth, she realized that she had spit out two teeth and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.
"No more alive!"
"I'm going to quit, old woman. I've been scammed out of money by Wang Laizi's family and my daughter-in-law."
"And they knocked out my two front teeth."
"I, Old Lady Lin, have never felt so miserable in my life. I can't live any longer!"
Lin Ze listened to his mother crying and wailing.
I also felt a headache.
If it were in Pingyang County, he would be absolutely sure that he could use the connections of his fellow disciples to capture Wang Laizi and lock him up for ten days or half a month.
But now... the county lieutenant Liu Sheng, who had met him once, completely looked like Shen Qian and the others from Wangjia Village.
He had no way to help his mother get justice.
Feeling depressed, Lin Ze walked angrily towards the front of the team.
When Old Lady Lin saw Lin Ze's back, she immediately shouted anxiously:
"Don't move, Sanrong (lang)!"
"Wang Laizi is not easy to deal with."
In response to Mrs. Lin's call, Lin Ze did not respond.
Instead, he walked among the villagers of Wangjia Village.
He dodged and passed through ox carts and carts.
When his eyes found the village chief Wang Dakuo, he strode in.
At this moment, Wang Miaomiao was lying comfortably on the ox cart with her eyes closed.
Lin Ze, who had been feeling resentful about this incident, was immediately ignited:
"Wang Miaomiao!"
"Look at what you've done."
"You dare to borrow money at high interest rates? You cheated my mother out of 150 taels of silver for 100 kilograms of corn? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"I originally thought that if I married you, you would be filial to your mother-in-law and take care of the family, but now it seems that marrying you has clearly added a huge trouble to the family."
Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.
Lin Ze took this sentence to the extreme.
He didn't dare to provoke Wang Laizi, for fear that Wang Laizi would act like a rogue or fight fiercely and he would not be able to handle it, so he could only go to Wang Miaomiao.
Shen Qian's carriage was also moving forward at the side.
Hearing these roars and accusations, I suddenly felt funny: Lin Ze, Lin Ze.
Shouldn't we go to Wang Laizi to deal with this kind of loan sharking matter?
How could the blame be directed at Wang Miaomiao?
It's really the same as before. Taking advantage of Wang Miaomiao's love for you, you always treat her so unscrupulously, without considering her feelings at all.
Before, he ignored Wang Miaomiao for four years, and now... he scolds Wang Miaomiao harshly.
This unlucky girl, it’s a good thing that she broke off the engagement with me.
Shen Qian was just thinking about it when she heard Wang Miaomiao's voice again from a distance:
"Why would you follow others and marry a wife if you don't have money?"
"That food was originally for your family to eat. If it weren't for that bag of food, I guess everyone in your family would have starved to death ten days ago, right?"
"Also, one ounce of silver for a pound of aged corn. Did that old hag get kicked in the head by a donkey? Just because Wang Laizi asked for it, she'd give it to him."
"You're clueless? And you, what makes you think you married me so I can be filial to my mother-in-law and take care of the family?"
"Isn't my current state caused by your Lin family?"
"If it weren't for you, how could the relationship between me and my mother be broken?"
"If it weren't for you, how could I become an orphan in the true sense of the word?"
"If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"
"Lin Ze, let me tell you, it's you. It's you, the Lin family, who owes me, Wang Miaomiao. If you marry me, you also owe me. If you don't marry me, everything that happened before will be written off!"
"My youth, my good health, my happy life, have all been destroyed in your hands, Lin Ze!"
Such a voice is deafening.
All the Wang family members in Wangjia Village felt the same way.
Many of their elders watched Wang Miaomiao grow up.
A little girl of a few years old would accompany her elders in the family to work in the fields every day, cutting grass and cooking.
Diligent, capable, sensible and filial were the characters that defined her childhood.
But ever since the Lin family moved in and Lin Ze appeared, he would always pull her out of the fields and go to the river or under the big locust tree.
Wang Miaomiao gradually changed, until she finally rebelled and severed her relationship with Wang Shen.
"Lin Ze, what else do you want from our Miaomiao? Haven't you seen the suffering she has endured over the years?"
"Lin Sanlang, are you a student who has been chosen but has lost your heart?"
"Miaomiao is such a good girl, what are you thinking, bullying her like this?"
"..."
Facing Wang Miaomiao's constant questioning and the deep accusations from the elders of Wangjia Village.
Lin Ze's hands couldn't stop shaking.
Lower your head and humble yourself to the dust.
Childhood memories echo in my mind.
It seems...it seems that when my family moved to Wangjia Village, no one wanted to play with me.
It was me who was shameless and pestered Wang Miaomiao every day.
Memories of reciting love poems come to mind.
Sophora flowers bloom and wither.
All year round.
Accompany each other every day.
Two lines of tears slid down Lin Ze's cheeks. He raised his head, his vision a little blurred.
Looking at Wang Miaomiao, his heart was filled with guilt.
A low 'I'm sorry' came out of his mouth.
He walked towards the ox cart that Wang Miaomiao was riding in, but the distance between him and the ox cart that Wang Miaomiao was riding in was getting farther and farther.
It was as if it was Wang Miaomiao and his heart.
"Miaomiao..." Lin Ze murmured softly.
Quicken your pace a bit.
But it only brought us closer.
He was not allowed to hold Wang Miaomiao's hand.
Until she arrived in front of the ox cart that Wang Miaomiao was riding and put her hand on the edge of the cart, Wang Miaomiao did not stretch out her hand to shake hands with him.
Lin Ze couldn't help but look disappointed.
At the same time, the tears on her cheeks finally slid down her chin.
Dripping on clothes.
"I'm sorry." Lin Ze said in a hoarse, choked throat, and gently extended his hand towards Wang Miaomiao.
But Wang Miaomiao 'inaccurately' slapped it away.
Wang Miaomiao showed a sad smile on his face, thinking in his heart:
If you could have treated me half as well as you did now, before your mother snatched away the last package I needed to survive.
Why should I hate you?
How did I end up in this situation?
I can no longer tell whether your apology is belated or not.
After all, it was you who...let me down.
"I will make it up to you." Lin Ze looked at Wang Miaomiao's open hand with confusion in his eyes. After a long time, he made a solemn promise.
"Heh!" Wang Miaomiao just chuckled when she heard Lin Ze's promise and didn't take it to heart at all.
In the end, Lin Ze didn't muster up the courage to cause trouble for Wang Laizi.
Because he knew very well that when he faced Wang Laizi, he would be the one who suffered.
Just as the team was about to rest, a cry of surprise came from not far away:
"Boundary marker, boundary marker!"
"We finally made it through Plains County!"
