Lin Zhixiu asked Mr. Liu to find the An clan and donate the sacrificial fields and books to the clan. The only purpose was to adopt An Ning into the name of his grandparents.
At this time, the leader of the An family was no longer the same person who had competed with the Lin family for the property. He was younger and was not so obsessed with the past. Over the years, the An family clan has withered and lost its former glory. Looking at it now,
Master Liu came to the meeting in person. There were no property or family disputes. It was just a matter of changing the genealogy. It was very simple! How great was it to get so many fields and books for nothing? So it was done happily.
An Ning has established his own business and is the dominant figure in the family. It is not unreasonable not to tell his mother, and things are going smoothly.
By the time the family found out, all the procedures had been completed. But how could his mother, Mrs. An, give up? After a long time of commotion in the clan, the clan leader slapped the table with a stern face. She was afraid that she would have to wear small shoes in the future, so she went to the city to find the Lin family again.
Entangled.
Especially An Ning's mother and sister-in-law, they were just sitting on the floor soaking. In front of the Lin's house, two women knelt in front of the Lin's house, saying that the Lin family was "taking advantage of their power to rob other people's sons." They were crying, and Mrs. An even made a dip.
He wetted the veil with chicken blood and pretended to be grieved, attracting many people to watch.
Lin Zhixiu closed the door, ignored them, and did not let An Ning show up, letting them do whatever they wanted.
An Ning saw that she had brought so much trouble to Lin Zhixiu, and she hated her mother and brother and sister-in-law for being too greedy. She was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep.
Two days passed like this, and An Ning's eldest brother and younger brother were given a beating by someone who put a bag on their head!
When the letter came, Mrs. An and her sister-in-law hurried home to see it. The two brothers had bruises and swollen noses and faces, and were in such a mess. They knew it must be related to the Lin family, so they came back to block the door of the Lin family, hopping around, and wanted to report to the official.
, they want to break down the door, and they want to commit suicide.
As a result, after a long time of commotion, someone came to the house again and said that Mrs. An's eldest grandson was playing with his bare buttocks by the pond at the door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He didn't know if he had sunk to the bottom of the pond!
His mother and sister-in-law were so frightened that they peeed and ran home.
The journey was not close, so we finally found a carriage and rushed back. A group of people had been fishing in the pond for a long time, but they couldn't find it... The whole family was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up. Someone with understanding showed them the way, and now
, they didn’t dare to make trouble anymore and asked the clan leader to make peace.
Then, Lin Zhixiu brought An Ning, her brother and Butler Lin to the An family ancestral hall.
Lin Zhixiu was dressed in white mourning clothes, wearing a white bonnet and a white veil, followed by four girls and a woman. She was so majestic... Those white shoes were spotless, just like a little fairy.
When his mother saw An Ning appear, she couldn't hold back her anger. She jumped up and scolded and wanted to rush up to beat him. The people Lin Zhixiu brought with her pushed her aside after a few seconds.
An Ning was the most embarrassed. He didn't want Lin Zhixiu to come. Such a little girl had to face such an unreasonable man...
Lin Zhixiu sat there, calmly looking at the injured An family brothers. She smiled, pointed at them and said to his mother, "Your two sons only have bruises on their noses and faces, but no bones or muscles. They have a broken head and bleeding."
Being beaten by so many people... Tsk tsk, this luck can't be said to be bad! I'm lucky this time, what about next time?"
Although she can’t see her appearance clearly, she is thin and small, just like a little girl, and her voice is so clear and childish, but when she speaks... why are she so cruel!?
The woman was stunned.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Your two sons are fine. Where is your eldest grandson?"
The woman pointed at Lin Zhixiu and said, "You dare! You dare... Patriarch, you heard it! If you dare..."
Lin Zhixiu was still smiling, "Of course I, a little girl, would not dare to do something illegal! I am just kind-hearted to help you analyze it! The family has been divided, and Uncle Ning has adopted him. What else can you do?
?It’s nothing more than wanting some benefits. But these benefits require life and life flowers, right?”
The woman refused, "He is my son, even if the family is divided, he is also my son!"
But the elder sister-in-law knew better. She looked at the little girl, who was only in her teens, sitting there steadily, with a low voice and an unhurried expression. She looked like a delicate flower, and she spoke in a cooing voice.
Angry, but it's like a knife...
She didn't know whether her son was alive or dead, so she softened first. Seeing that her mother-in-law still refused to let go, she quickly pulled her mother-in-law back.
An Ning's heart was pounding, why is Xiu'er so powerful?
Mrs. An was dragged back by her daughter-in-law. She looked at her two sons with bruises and bleeding, and thought about her grandson whose life or death she didn't know. She burst into tears. This time she really cried. She was really scared.
The little woman really had no choice but to say, "Girl, please give my son back, and we will never look for him again."
Lin Zhixiu said to the old woman, "Old lady, you gave birth to my Uncle Ning and raised him. No matter how good or bad you treat him, you are always kind. Without you, I would have no uncle...
…So, don’t cry, I’m here today just to bring you some benefits.”
She lowered her chin, and Butler Lin directed someone to bring out a box with a list in his hand.
Butler Lin said, "My lady, I am grateful for your kindness to my uncle. Now, I am willing to use some of my money to buy out this family relationship. From now on, we will never have contact with each other until we die. This is a contract, I will read it to you
Read it, if you are willing, just sign and pledge it."
As soon as the whole family heard the benefits, they all pricked up their ears quietly.
Butler Lin said, "We made a contract to buy out the family relationship. Mrs. An received a tattoo of two hundred taels of silver. The eldest brother of the An family received a hundred taels, the younger brother a hundred taels, the sister-in-law thirty taels, and the nieces and nephews each received ten taels."
When the younger brother of the An family heard this, he realized that even the little kid had twelve. However, he was not married yet and had no children, which was a bit of a loss. He didn't dare to ask, and his face turned red.
Butler Lin then said, "I will give An Ning's younger brother another 500 taels to get married. The last remaining 100 taels will be given to the clan to repair the family's ancestral tombs." An Ning's name had to be cut out from the tombstone of his family's ancestors.
Come down...
Mrs. An didn't expect that at this moment, she would be given back so much money.
An Ning also didn't expect that after adopting him, he would only give so much to the clan, and now he would give so much to his family, which made him extremely stressed.
Butler Lin went on to say, "The condition is that you sign and get the money. From now on, you can no longer come to look for Uncle An Ning. As long as someone comes to talk to him, cause trouble for him, or come to the Lin family to cause trouble, we will take all the money."
Take it back. If you can't pay it back after spending it... then sell it and pay off your debt."
Lin Zhixiu then smiled and said, "You must listen carefully... No matter good or bad, don't come to my uncle. You must know that the yamen door opens to the south, so don't come in if you have reason or no money! I have a lot of money. I want to deal with you, but can I do it?"
Arrive?! Huh, when the time comes, don’t blame me for selling you and your family to work on the salt flats. If you’re exhausted, you should remember especially here that as long as one person comes looking for me, I will take back all the money! So, you each other
Keep an eye on it, don't let everyone end up being sold to the salt flats because of one person's rashness! Think about it carefully, if you are willing, just sign and get the money. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, we
Let's go now. You can continue to make trouble as much as you want. After today, I won't give you any more. My uncle will go to the capital soon. You can also follow him to the capital to make trouble... It's just that
, if something happens next time, I’m afraid it won’t be as serious as this time!”
Brother An Ning was the timidest. Seeing that he was about to get so much money, he was afraid of trouble and quickly said, "I'll sign, I'll sign..."
The An family members rushed to sign and counted the money over and over again, just for fear of making a mistake. No one paid any attention to An Ning next to them, how sad it was.
It didn't take long for An's parents and grandson to be sent back. When his mother saw him, she cried in her arms. But he had a chicken leg in his right hand and a candy in his left hand, and he was very happy!
