Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Lin Zhen had a good impression of Lin Shanjiang. She smiled and curtsied and said goodbye: "Brother, I can see that he is a traveler. If there is a suitable person, please help me keep an eye out. I will be very grateful, little lady."

Last year, a new rule came out in the yamen: all unmarried women over twenty-five and unmarried men over twenty-six in the county must pay a tax of one tael of silver every year.

She could have supported her mother and younger brother by doing embroidery, but if she had to pay another two taels of silver, it would be very difficult.

The rent for the house they live in now is 2 taels; daily meals, medical treatment and medicine cost three taels a month; eating, drinking and having sex as a family starts at 15 taels a month.

She worked day and night on embroidery, and she could only earn less than twenty or thirty taels of silver a year. Every day I count my money on my fingers.

If you add in the taxes for her and her brother, life will be much more difficult.

Moreover, she is okay, maybe she can be married off if her requirements are lower.

But the younger brother can't do it. My younger brother is so stupid that no one will marry him. I can only pay him one tael of silver a year until he dies.

And my mother is also single after divorce. If my mother still needs one tael of silver a year, then she is really crazy!

Therefore, Lin Shanjiang did her a big favor by returning the money to her.

As for why she wanted to get married, it was also because the man would always give some betrothal gifts, so she let her mother take them and pay taxes to her brother in the future. With this extra money, the family's life will be better for many years.

Lin Shanjiang nodded when he saw this: "Okay."

This girl is upright and deserves a good man to marry her. Lin Shanjiang does not object to being a matchmaker for her.

After some explanation, Yun Xi and Black Thirteen finally understood the cause and effect.

"So, this handkerchief is the handkerchief Lin Zhen used to pay off her debt?"

"Yes." Lin Shanjiang's hand holding the handkerchief tightened involuntarily.

After separating from Lin Zhen, he also thought about helping her find a suitable partner.

As a result, no matter which one he was, he felt that he was not worthy of Lin Zhen.

This person is too old; that family situation is too complicated...

This one is too ugly; that one has a bad temper...

This family is too poor; that person is not open-minded enough...

In the blink of an eye, we are now.

Lin Shanjiang suddenly asked: "Thirteen, how old are you?"

"What's wrong?" Black Thirteen batted his long eyelashes blankly: "I'm twenty, don't you know, old man?"

"Twenty is a bit small, but it's not impossible for a female junior to hold a gold brick." Lin Shanjiang said to himself.

"What are you doing? Old man, you want me to marry that Lin Zhen? Tell you, it won't work! I have someone I like!" Black Thirteen's ears were very smart and he jumped up all of a sudden.

"Ah? Do you have someone you like? Who is it?" Yun Xi asked curiously.

"Just...that..." Black Thirteen quickly blushed.

He reached out and scratched the back of his head, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

This was the first time that Yun Xi saw Black Thirteen being stuck in speech, and couldn't help but joke: "Why can't you say it? Is it because the other party doesn't know your feelings yet?"

Black Thirteen blushed and said, "Yes."

"Pfft!" Yun Xi covered her mouth with joy, "Thirteen, I didn't expect you to be here today? Aren't you a good talker? Use your strengths and pursue them! With such a sharp tongue, you are still afraid of a little girl. Won’t you come into your arms obediently?”

"Princess, don't laugh at me." Black Thirteen blushed, lowered his head, and awkwardly kicked the stones on the ground.

"Of course she's going to laugh at you!" Lin Shanjiang slapped him hard on the back of the head, "You can't even get a wife, how embarrassing!"

Black Thirteen chuckled: "I will work hard. I will learn from you, old man."

"What the hell! What should you learn from me? How about saying goodbye to a girl?" Lin Shanjiang angrily gave him another blow on the back of the head.

"While you are young, hurry up and get married and have children! Don't be like me, you will be alone when you grow old."

"Oh." Black Thirteen responded casually, but did not say who the girl he liked was.

"Dad, how many girls have you seen since then? Do you like any of them?"

"You girl, your father and I have no intention of getting married, so how can we like you?"

"What about them? Dad, you are so good-looking, like a tree facing the wind, and gentle. Do they like you?"

"You stinky girl, how can you be so happy about teasing your elders, right?"

"Dad, my daughter, I care about you. Before you came here, had Lin Zhen found the right one?"

Lin Shanjiang sighed.

He only found out later that the girl named Lin Zhen had entered his heart at some point.

Before leaving for Yizhou, he made a special trip to see it.

Just when he met a scoundrel who was pestering Lin Zhen to ask her to marry him, Lin Shanjiang stepped forward and kicked the scoundrel and kicked him away.

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Lin Zhen blushed when she saw Lin Shanjiang.

"Where is your brother?" Seeing two buckets of water and a pole next to Lin Zhen, Lin Shanjiang's expression turned ugly, "He is a man, and he even lets you do this?"

"My brother won't do it." Lin Zhen lowered her head.

"It's not okay for your brother to be so ignorant!" Lin Shanjiang frowned, "You can't support him for the rest of his life."

"I will support him for the rest of his life!" Lin Zhen suddenly raised her head and raised her voice, "You outsiders should stop meddling in other people's business."

Lin Shanjiang just felt like he was feeding the dog with his kindness: "Okay, I'm an outsider, so I shouldn't care about it. Just do what you like, you deserve to die from exhaustion!"

Anyway, she has nothing to do with him anymore, so why does he care about her? What a waste of worry!

As soon as Lin Shanjiang turned around and left, he heard a clear shout: "Sister..."

He turned around and saw a handsome young man more than ten meters away, drooling and staggering towards Lin Zhen. While walking, she waved her hands and shouted again: Sister...

In an instant, Lin Shanjiang's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and it hurt.

So why is she so difficult?

sorry!

He faced Lin Zhen and apologized silently with his lips.

No wonder she has been unable to get married despite her good looks.

Her mother's divorce after getting married was also because of this stupid son, right?

This girl would rather delay her marriage for the sake of her mother and brother. She is so caring!

He hurriedly bought a bunch of food, found a child, gave him a few pennies, and asked him to give the food to Lin Zhen and his sister.

Seeing that they accepted it, Lin Shanjiang left.

And the little boy who helped him deliver food caught up and added a few words that almost broke his guard: Uncle, this sister's mother is paralyzed!

Lin Shanjiang didn't know how he left.

Lin Zhen is a very principled person, and she will not accept gifts from people who are not relatives.

Unless, he and she become a family.

But are you really ready to marry again?

not at all……

Lin Shanjiang came to Yizhou after struggling all the way.
