337 Get Lost
It wasn’t because they were rich, but because their family’s final status was too prominent that caused their downfall.
In this life, Sifu started the same business. Therefore, to Xue Yan, it was obvious that Lin Xicui’s family would regret it for the rest of their lives.
“No matter how rich you are, you would never be as rich as Feng’s family. Stop dreaming! There’s no way you would ever reach there!”
This was Lin Xicui’s first time meeting Xue Sanfu. Lin Xicui’s heart began to pound when she realized that Sanfu had yet to say a single thing. She was afraid that if Xue Sanfu didn’t agree, she would be held back.
Hence, Lin Xicui didn’t care if she was being shameless or not. She got up and walked over to Xue Sanfu fearfully. She whispered, “Sanfu…”
Before she could say anything, Xue Sanfu asked his mother, “Mother, where’s the marriage contract?”
Usually, the marriage contract would be with the man.
If he married into their family, the contact would be on the woman’s side.
“Sanfu!” Liu Guixia was angry, but she also didn’t want a daughter-in-law like this. For a moment, she just stood there angrily and at a loss for words.
“Tear them up and tell them to get lost,” Xue Sanfu said. With that, he took off the straw hat on the wall, put it on, and went to the workshop on the mountain.
Jiang Yue silently praised him. Perhaps it was because Sanfu was a man of few words, so he always cut to the chase and never talked nonsense.
Xue Yan sighed.
“Sanfu… Sanfu!” Liu Guixia chased after him and shouted his name twice. Seeing that he didn’t even bother turning around, she went to her room to get the marriage contract.
Xue Wufu snatched it over, tore it into pieces, and threw them at Lin Xicui’s face. “Just wait, our family will definitely be richer than Feng’s family in the future!”
“Keep dreaming.”
The Lin family looked at them with disgust. Lin Xicui’s mother even took an effort to diss them even more.
“Why do you have to make your place ugly? Even if you don’t feel embarrassed, we do…”
Liu Guixia was so angry that she wanted to chase the three of them away with a broom.
“Alright, there’s no point in getting mad. It’s better not to have such a young lady in this house. We’ll get a better one to marry Sanfu in the future. Our family isn’t poor, so why should we be afraid that Sanfu won’t be able to marry a better one?” Xue Sifu consoled his wife.
Lin Xicui’s father, Lin Xicui’s mother, and Lin Xicui had already left.
“He’s right, Mother.” Li Hehua, Yu Hongyan, and Xue Yifu all agreed. Even Xue Wufu agreed.
“How did we choose such a vile woman for Sanfu?” Liu Guixia couldn’t help but curse out loud. She was feeling regretful. Then, she slowly thought it through and said, “Right! In the future, Sanfu will definitely marry a better woman than her! Our family must be richer than Feng! We’ll make them regret everything they said!”
After saying this, Liu Guixia realized that Xue Sifu, Jiang Yue, and Xue Yan hadn’t left yet, so she quickly said, “Why haven’t you guys gone to town yet? Hurry up and go. Sanfu will be fine. There’s nothing to worry about. He doesn’t care much about these things. Today was his first day meeting Xincui, so he’s definitely fine.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to town with Xue Sifu to sell rice noodles only after her assurance.
…
That night, Lin Xicui was sold to Feng’s family in a small sedan to be a concubine.
The next day, the surrounding villages were abuzz with rumors that Lin Xicui could potentially bear Feng a son. They also said that Lin Xicui had broken off her engagement with Xue Sanfu in order to become Feng’s concubine. They also said that Xue Sanfu was too pitiful to be engaged to such a girl. They also said that Lin Xicui’s parents couldn’t hide the truth and told the world that they were given 200 silver in the hand of their daughter. They even said that if Xicui really could give birth to a son, they would give them more. Lin Xicui’s parents were showing off their silver to everyone everywhere. They didn’t care how shameless they were acting.
