After the crude shout from Lin Zhaodi, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and nobody dared to whisper anymore.
At the scene, the Zhang Family of four with Zhang Zhiguo present had their potential words clamped down, and the Zhang sisters, being wise, did not dare to speak carelessly to protect themselves.
Zhang Hongqiang glanced at Lin Zhaodi, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, and remained silent amidst it all: "..."
Lin Aiguo actually knew that his own ideas were wishful thinking, but isn’t there an old saying ’to jack up the price on the spot’? He also hadn’t refused to allow the Zhang Family to counter-offer; it’s common human nature to want to maximize benefits.
At this moment, whether it was the Lin Family or Zhang Zhiguo’s house, nobody dared to make a sound.
Seeing the Old Village Chief’s face black as ink, not only did Qingfeng Village’s folks dread him, Lin Jianmin from Old Lin Village also had a less than pleasant facial expression. He truly hadn’t anticipated his nephew to have the audacity to demand such a steep price!
If Zhang Shan Ni were here, she would certainly feel delighted, considering that nobody would be happy being priced and sold off like pork! Now seeing the Zhang Family’s Parents experience ’retribution’, if she knew about it she would definitely laugh three times and exclaim: "Hey, retribution indeed, serves them right!"
Lin Aiguo, seeing that everyone had almost accepted it, proposed a new scheme: "Of course, if the Zhang Family can persuade a decent girl to enter the gate of our Lin Family, that would be even better!"
This follow-up statement made it clear that what Lin Aiguo wanted was not money, but a wife. After all, giving him money ultimately aimed at acquiring a wife. With his current family conditions, getting a decent and innocent girl was indeed difficult, and he would be more satisfied if the Zhang Family were willing to sort it out.
Before the matter was fully comprehended, Lin Aiguo’s following remark indeed made Zhang Zhiguo breathe a sigh of relief. But a closer look at Lin Aiguo himself only compounded the bitterness in Zhang Zhiguo’s heart once again.
At this moment, he also understood why his youngest daughter had so desperately chosen to commit suicide by jumping into the water on that day!
The man that is Lin Aiguo truly turns out to be difficult to look up to, representing three words from top to bottom: Shameless Toad!
The everyday farmer is typically dark and strong, yet few are shorter than 1.65 meters. Lin Aiguo, however, was less than 1.6 meters tall, making him seem particularly short in front of the Lin Family members. His shortness is attributed to his extremely hunched waist; the noticeable hump on his back signals severe spinal deformation!
This trait partially comes from a genetic inheritance and partially from acquired compression deformity. Although his father, Lin Mazi, also had a hunched back, it wasn’t as severe as his.
With such challenging physical conditions and his slovenly nature, whether it was his clothes or the grease in his hair, it was apparent that he did not care for hygiene at all. Moreover, his reputation in Old Lin Village was really poor. A man in his thirties, rather than properly saving money for his family, would surely be found gambling and creating a ruckus every afternoon. And the companies he kept were all less than reputable males.
Rumor has it, years ago, he had an indecent relationship with a young widow. In the end, it forced her to remarry in haste, without even daring to take a second glance at her child.
Reflecting on these general considerations caused Zhang Zhiguo to break out in cold sweat, and contrary to lessening, it poured even more profusely in the chill of the early morning, drenching his entire back.
Given Lin Aiguo’s character, even if three hundred more coins were offered, any family with the slightest love for their daughter wouldn’t agree to such a marriage! After all, this would be ruining their daughter’s life – this isn’t arranging a marriage, it’s practically like starting a feud!
At this point, Zhang Zhiguo realized that he had been deceived by his wife and daughter at that time, directly assisting in pushing his youngest daughter into hell!
