Chapter 18: Why Didn't I Sell You?

"Mother, mother, please don't be angry. Sangsang is the star of destiny and fortune, she's not afraid of any evil. Please don't hurt yourself over such trivial matter." Ms.Lin of Yang Family consoled her mother-in-law.

Upon seeing her state, the rest of the Lin Family also hurried over to see what was happening.

"Phew!"

After a while, Ms.Lu of Lin family finally regained her breath and exhaled heavily.

"Such a disaster, what a misfortune for our family to bear this kind of problem!"

Who she was referring to, of course, was Liu Yushui and Liu Rumei. These two were nothing but nuisances to their family. They had tried to avoid them as much as possible but they insisted on troubling them.

"I can't believe this happened. Aunt Lin, don't worry. As the land officer, I will definitely seek justice for Sangsang." The land officer stood up, his brows furrowed, and said in a stern voice.

"You..."

Mr.Zhou took a step back in shock at his words.

The words of that young man could be construed as instigating murder if taken seriously. Even if Lin Caisang was fine, the charge of attempted murder could not be escaped.

Although he knew deep down that these people had no evidence, some things could not be refuted just because there was a lack of evidence, especially when there were many mouths to feed.

"You're all lying. I never said any such thing. They're framing me. My mother sold Lin Caisang for my father."

After a moment of surprise, Liu Yushui finally regained her senses and started yelling in denial.

"Who do you call grandma? There's no one in the Lin family with the surname Liu. If it was for your father, why didn't she sell you off?" Ms.Lu of the Lin family fiercely yelled at Liu Yushui.

She had never acknowledged Liu Rumei as her daughter-in-law. She had only shown a soft spot because of the children. But after this incident, how could she possibly acknowledge a woman with a vicious heart as a member of the Lin family?

"Grandma, don't get angry. Don't bother with them."

Lin Caisang used her chubby little hand to soothe Ms.Lu of the Lin family's chest, trying to calm her down.

Arguing with these people was simply a waste of energy.

"Grandpa Zhou, as for Zhou Liang and Liu Yushui's plot against me, I'll let it go. But with regards to the annulment document, your family can't just take it away. Please rewrite it according to the terms stipulated by my grandpa, then sign it and have you, Uncle Jitang, and Zhou Liang put their fingerprints on it. Leave a copy here so we can all be at peace."

Lin Caisang looked at Mr.Zhou and said, word by word.

"Do you have the authority to decide that?"

Mr.Zhou asked, his eyes lighting up.

Despite his grandson's follies, Zhou Liang was still a member of their family. And since he was planning to go to the provincial city to take the examination that year, Mr.Zhou, of course, was hesitant to abandon him.

At this moment, Lin Caisang's words were like the last straw he could clutch onto.

"Sangsang..."

"Grandma, listen to me."

Just as Ms. Lu of the Lin family was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lin Caisang.

"Grandpa Zhou, I can make this decision. I swear, I won't tell anyone about Zhou Liang and Liu Yushui's attempt to harm me nor will I seek to blame anyone. As long as you follow my request to write the annulment document."

"Alright, alright."

Hearing this, Mr.Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

As long as Zhou Liang's matter wasn't exposed, what harm could writing an annulment document do?

...

In the end, Lin Caisang held the annulment document, and all of Zhou family's people left the village for the time being. The men who had come to support the Lin family also left one after another.
