Chapter 4

C4 – Compensation

Apart from strategizing with his father, he found no time to address the concerns of this time period. Additionally, he experienced a throbbing headache; the cause, whether it was the fusion of soul and body or something else, remained unknown.

His memories were fragmented, but he was aware that the individual receiving support was his grandmother, who was also responsible for expelling him from his home. Naturally, his father disagreed, resulting in a continued impasse.

Originally, before the division, the whole family resided together. However, following his grandfather’s demise, his grandmother insisted on separating the family, ignoring all opposition, and choosing to accompany her youngest son. Consequently, they relocated to a new dwelling, leaving him, his father, and his son in the ancestral home.

The old dwelling barely provided shelter against rainfall; leaks during rains were a forewarning of potential collapse.

His grandmother would incessantly berate Ah Yao, criticizing her inability to bear a male heir. Currently, besides him, his father was his brother, and all others were his younger brothers; in rural settings, such a condition was regarded as extremely disrespectful.

Soong Qinghee didn’t make a sound. It was true that he couldn’t give birth to a son.

Lin Yuxing glanced disdainfully at grandma and turned to the village head, “Village leader, won’t you intervene?” Clearly, he wanted the village leader to make a decision in the situation.

After all, they belonged to Lin Village, yet it seemed the village head was indifferent to their concerns.

The village chief regarded Lin Yuxing and declared, “Give Yu one tael of silver and banish these two from Lin Village, ensuring they never return!”

The Village Chief’s judgment was quite balanced. Although Li Yuxiang had sneaked in, he was apprehended immediately; hence his deceit was thwarted. The compensation was a fitting reparation.

“I won’t part with any silver; why should I?” Lee Su growled, displaying his anger. He held some resentment towards his father-in-law; without the prearranged child marriage, none of this would’ve occurred.
