Chapter 38 - 037 Secretly Crossing the Wei River
——————
"Mother, it’s not that I don’t want Xiao Mei to marry well, but these are my circumstances laid bare, and our family’s conditions are not that great either. Without Xiao Mei, our branch of the Lin Family might just wither away!"
This was a very realistic problem. If the starting point considered the future of his sister, then the prospects of this old man with mediocre morals to ever get a wife were nil!
Without a wife, where would sons come from?
Sometimes, people not caring for themselves deserved divine punishment! All he wanted was a warm bed to share with a wife and children!
Lin Aiguo, seeing his elderly mother crying incessantly, felt extremely frustrated. After pacing back and forth several times, he finally suppressed the annoyance and hesitation in his heart, and gently and soothingly comforted:
"Mother, after all, that is the wealthiest household in Shanglin Village. Although that man is a bit unclear-headed, he’s not completely foolish, just a bit simple! It wouldn’t be too bad for our little sister to marry over there."
That individual from He Family might be a bit foolish but his family was wealthy. Marrying off his sister there meant she wouldn’t suffer from poverty and she could even help support our family - of course he would choose a rich household.
Of course, the main thing was their daughter, whom he had secretly checked out. Although her looks were not much different from Zhang Shan Ni, she was indeed very timid.
"Wu... mother is useless, do whatever you think is best!" Mrs. Lin really couldn’t think of any better solution. Between her son and daughter, she could only bitterly sacrifice her daughter for a healthy daughter-in-law.
