The maiden had never thought that he would still be so shameless as to try and send her to the government. Looking at the surrounding cold villagers, she was so angry that she laughed, "Alright, one or two of you …"
"I'll testify for her."
Before the lady could finish her words, a tall man with sharp features slowly walked out from the shadows. He hid his aura very well, so much so that the lady did not even see such an outstanding person in the crowd.
However, when she saw the man's face, the lady's heart skipped a beat. He was too similar to her husband from her previous life!
Could it be that Wang Dafu had also transmigrated?
The lady on the other side felt her heart in turmoil. Lin Zhiyuan was also very surprised. He didn't expect Ye Xuan to testify on behalf of the girl.
Ye Xuan was usually taciturn. After returning from serving as a soldier, he didn't talk much with the villagers. He only worked in the fields all day and didn't participate in any of these matters. Lin Zhicai never imagined that he would actually speak up for a widow!
"Ye Xuan, you're an outer male as well. How are you going to testify? What if it's you secretly having an affair with this bitch! " Without waiting for Lin Zhicai to speak, Lin Lanzhi jumped up and cursed loudly.
Ye Xuan looked over coldly as she spoke in a hushed tone.
When Ye Xuan returned, he wasn't as talkative as he was now. He'd gone to the river with the village to bathe, and had been found with scars from the back of his neck to the back of his waist. How could a normal person still survive such an injury? Furthermore, he had brought back a lot of money … When the villagers had nothing better to do, they would say that he had become a bandit outside and had earned enough money to be hunted down before returning to this small mountain village.
After Ye Xuan moved to his old house, he had less contact with the villagers.
But he was actually speaking up for the widow! Thinking about the two of them living side by side, the more she thought about it, the more she got the feeling that the two of them had something up their sleeves. Was what she said unreasonable? You live next door to this bitch, isn't it inconvenient to say you're having a clandestine love affair with her? Is that true? "
She was as beautiful as a flower, had a good figure, and her skin was still tender and fair from working in the fields. Standing together with a group of village women, she was definitely the phoenix in a chicken nest. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was tall and well-built.
They could only think of these words. Didn't they see that Ye Xuan's gaze wasn't right?
The lady on the side was extremely furious. This high quality mother-in-law wasn't afraid that her son wouldn't have enough green hats on his head, right? If one was not enough, then another was. Now, they had made the ordinary neighbors look so terrible!
"Aunt, you still have to be careful when you speak. Ye Xuan has been back for a few years and has always kept himself clean. If you do something that lets down your little brother, you'll definitely die!" Ye Xuan's voice was low. Standing next to Lin Lanzhi, he was like a tower. Afraid that she'd beat him up, Lin Lanzhi forcefully held back her words.
"Fourth Bro, let's just let this matter go." Seeing that Lin Lanzhi's family was at a disadvantage, Clan Head Lin Hongtao quickly went out to help them out. If the two of them let go now, the lady could do nothing to them out of filial piety.
Lin Lanzhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Zhizi.
"This matter is our misunderstanding. But Chen Jiao, let me ask you, are you planning to remarry?"
The little miss didn't know what he was doing, so she didn't know how to respond. She would never block her path of retreat so she hesitated before replying, "As long as my daughter is in a sealed city, I will never remarry."
Nowadays, the population flow was relatively small. Changing the household register required documents. A weak woman like her, who had no power, power, or money, would definitely not be able to leave the city.
Lin Zhibao thought for a while and continued, "Then give us the ten acres of land that was previously divided between us, and we'll forget about this matter."
The little girl gritted her teeth to the point that they were about to shatter. She had done so for the sake of a few acres of land. Was a single human life worth less than a single worth of money?
The original body did indeed have 21 mu of land, of which 9 mu were divided up by the original family. The remaining 12 mu were divided up by her husband for his entrance exam to become an Elementary Scholar. The location was not considered good, and at the foot of the mountain, there were many wild beasts as well.
Did her mother-in-law want her to starve to death by taking back those nine acres of fertile land?
On second thought, the little girl didn't actually want to farm land. Moreover, she was a woman, so she might encounter some problems. It would be better to give the land to them in exchange for some benefits.
After thinking for a moment, the cute girl replied, "I can give you the nine acres of fertile land. I only want the land at the foot of the mountain and I can also give you the houses as long as you agree to my request."
When they heard that the little miss was willing to return the nine acres of fertile land, the Lin couple's eyes lit up. Wasn't the reason why they spent so much effort just for those few acres? Now that the lady had promised them, they nodded their heads, "As long as you give us the nine acres of land, you can put forward any request you want."
"Alright, then I'll ask the Patriarch to conduct a notarization ceremony. As a request, I, Chen Jiao, will voluntarily transfer the nine mu of fertile land to the Lin Clan. As a request, in the future, we will no longer have a daughter-in-law relationship."
"This …" Chen Jiao's request was unprecedented. The Lin couple looked at each other, then turned around and immediately agreed. Who would want such a foolish daughter-in-law? She could even exchange nine acres of fertile land for her.
Lin Hongtao looked at his mistress as he stood there leisurely with his back straightened. Originally, she was just a somewhat outstanding but cowardly woman, but today, she seemed to have discovered something different.
Shaking his head to calm his thoughts, Lin Hongtao asked the reputable members of the Lin Clan to set up a contract. The lady and the Lin Clan both signed the contract after confirming that the contract was valid.
That nine mu of fertile land was bought by her father-in-law's generation, and it was one of the best land in the village. Even if it was sold, it would cost at least a hundred silver taels, so she didn't expect Chen Jiao Niang to transfer the land to them so easily.
Wang Mei Hua tugged her daughter's sleeve and whispered, "Is that place really that good?"
"That's fine, that's all. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us." As someone who had lived in a modern village, she had dozens of ways to turn a plot of land into a fertile field. If this nine mu of land could be exchanged for her future safety, it would be worth it.
Wang Plum Blossom felt that after her daughter woke up, she felt weird and that her daughter wasn't as timid as she used to be and thus became more reliable.
Thinking about how he still wanted to kill his daughter for twenty silver taels, Wang Plum Blossom felt upset.
