“How could people like that get so lucky?” Yan grumbled alone in her home, her complaining incessant. Seeing her in a foul mood, Huang had been scared off to the fields with her basket, and their eldest son, Ma Xincai, had silently followed suit.
“Lin Zige is nothing good. The moment we end our engagement, she rushes to arrange a marriage with Wu Dayou. She clearly can’t stand being alone, a complete tramp. I’m telling you, Wu Dayou is always in and out of the Lin’s home. Do they already have an illicit affair?” After thinking to herself, Yan slapped her thigh, seemingly enlightened as if she had uncovered the “truth”.
Ma Youcai, holding his book listened and frowned, “Mom, could you quiet down for a bit? Even if they did hook up beforehand, what can you do about it now? Besides, if that’s the truth, it’s a good thing we ended the engagement, I don’t want to be cuckolded.”
He advised dismissively, but inwardly, he was very angry.
“No, this won’t do. We ended the engagement and took all the blame. Why should they, that adulterous couple, get away with it and even enjoy a good reputation?” Yan gritted her teeth in determination, getting up to confront the Lin family.
“Mother!” Ma Zhicai slammed his book down on the table, “Are you purposely trying to ruin my career? When I take the Scholar’s exam, Lou Zheng is the guarantor. He’s Wu Dayou’s kin, and he’s also the matchmaker for Wu Dayou and Lin Zige. If you anger him, am I supposed to pick up the slack?”
“So, it ends just like that?” Yan looked at her son plaintively, “I can’t swallow my anger.”
“If you can’t swallow it, you have to.” Ma Dalang strode in, “Didn’t you hear your son? Our son’s future is in Lou Zheng’s hands. Listen, if you mess this up and ruin our son’s future, I won’t forgive you. If Youcai becomes a successful scholar in the future, what’s a Lou Zheng? A gentleman’s revenge can wait for ten years. You’re always rash and act on impulse, that’s why we’re in such an embarrassing position now.”
Ma Youcai, hearing the words of Ma Dalang, frowned at Yan. He couldn’t agree more with Ma Dalang’s advice. It’s true when they ended the engagement with the Lin family, they could’ve kept it low-key and no one would have thought twice. The problem was Yan boasting about having a Scholar in the family while badmouthing the Lin family, it just annoyed the Lin family and the villagers.
They wouldn’t have such troubles if they kept a low profile.

“Mother, you mustn’t be muddled.” Ma Youcai seriously warned Yan once more.
“Fine, I understand. We’ve let the Lin family off easy, but when my son makes it in the future, watch how I deal with them.” Yan swore, her face twisted in ferocity.
For the next few days, the Martial Monk from Ding’an Temple and Si Si would always come to pick up tofu from the Lin family at the same time. Villagers watched, green with envy as the high-end carriage frequented the Lin residence.
However, out of face, they didn’t dare to barge in and inquire about the Lin family’s business.
Before long, it was the fifteenth, and the Lin family climbed aboard Lou Zheng’s carriage to the market early in the morning. This time, Lou Zheng and Zhang also joined the group.
“Sweets.” Lin Yanzhi was happily nestled in Lin Ziyin’s arms on the carriage.
With living conditions at home improving, his aunt treating him well, providing him and his brother with daily treats and meat, Lin Yanzhi and Lin Changting looked up to Lin Ziyin.
“Well, you’ve finally decided to show. ” Seeing them, Pork Zhang called out loudly. “Don’t be afraid. The ruffians in the market have all been driven away by the officials. From now on, there will be peace in the market.”
“Thanks for letting us know, Zhang. We only dared to come here after we got the news.” Lin Changshu said with a laugh, thanking him. “We’ll come to pick up the offal later.”
