Chapter 344: Bad
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They could only tell the public that Xia Yayun had fallen into the river by accident and was saved by Master Dong. At the critical moment of life and death, she was saved, which was why she was forced to marry him.
However, no matter what, the marriage of a third-rank official’s legitimate daughter as a concubine was enough to make many people lecture their children.
Xie Qiao sighed in private but did not make any comments.
She only wondered if Xia Yanyun would regret what she had done in the future.
Now that the bet was over, the New Year was close.
Xie Niushan would probably not return until the beginning of spring.
However, the Xie family had a visitor at that moment.
Xie Qiao changed into a new set of clothes and was dignified. She brought a pair of younger siblings to welcome the Lin family.
Xie Pinghuai did not seem to care, while Xie Xi was obedient, like a little doll.
Ms. Lin was born in an ordinary family.
Xie Niushan was a sinner.
At that moment, Xie Qiao was waiting at the door. After waiting for a while, the carriages arrived. A couple of people came out of the two carriages.
The group of people looked very uneasy.
Xie Qiao went up to welcome them and said politely, “You are Grandpa Lin, right? This humble one is Xie Qiao, this is... my younger brother Xie Pinghuai and younger sister Xie Xi. They’re the children of Second Mother.”
Grandpa Lin quickly helped her up. Although his attitude was a little overwhelming, he did not look timid.
Then, he began to introduce the people behind him.
Ms. Lin’s mother had passed away because she missed her daughter dearly.
The letter regarding the situation of the Lin family had actually arrived earlier. Xie Qiao knew who these people were.
The two men behind Grandpa Lin were not sons, but the disciple and son-in-law. Furthermore, they were all married into the family.
Such a son-in-law had to change his surname.
Hence, they all had the surname Lin.
Grandpa Lin had four daughters. Second mother was the second daughter. She had a sister who was three years older than her. At that time, they were already engaged and were about to get married. In the end, barbarians invaded the villagers, scaring them into running up the mountain.
At that time, there were many people and it was chaotic. Second mother got separated.
Later on, the village was peaceful after the chaos. However, second mother could not be found again. Ms. Lin’s mother’s health was lacking. She was shocked by the incident and passed away.
The Lin family’s eldest daughter stayed home for three years because of the mother’s death.
However, she still had two younger sisters at home. She was worried. Before the marriage was about to be fulfilled, someone bullied her younger sister. She chased after them for ten kilometers with a knife and scared the in-laws away.
She simply stayed at home to protect her younger sister.
After losing a younger sister, she could not lose the rest.
Old Man Lin was a doctor, and the disciples he taught were all good-natured. Moreover, there were many orphans in that area, and these two had no parents, so they both volunteered to marry and support him.
However, this eldest daughter of the Lin family delayed for years, so she simply did not marry. She also had some obstetrics and gynecology skills, so she delivered babies in the village. She was also somewhat famous.
She was only 32 or 33 years old, but she dressed like a midwife in her 40s or 50s. She looked quite good at scaring people.
At that moment, Grandpa Lin looked at Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi with red eyes.
“Yes, especially this girl. She looks just like my Second Son when he was young,” Old Man Lin sighed.
Was he mad? Of course he was.
After his wife passed away, someone sent him a letter saying that his second daughter was still alive. She was in the mountain stronghold and was the wife of the chief. They said that she was pregnant now and that her life was pretty good.
He was happy at the time. It was better to be alive than dead.
He was worried that the bandits would kill without blinking.
However, there was nothing he could do. Since she had lost her virginity, she might be punished by being drowned in the river if she came home.
He did not tell anyone about that.
Later, he received a letter saying that his daughter had died in childbirth and had given birth to a son and a daughter. This letter…
Half of it reported the good news and the other half reported the bad news. He did not sense the person who wrote the letter being sad.
At that time he knew this bandit was bad!
