Zhao Jing's words stunned everyone in the room.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Jing only hugged Lin Anan gently.
He patted Lin Anan's thin back and said in a low voice,""Don't be afraid."
Then, he quickly let go of the little girl.
Lin Anan looked up and saw only her husband's tall back.
"Little Jing, what nonsense are you talking about?”
The clan leader was the first to say,"Their Lin family is not kind. We can't be so casual about this matter."”
"Little Jing, you don't have to be afraid. The people of Zhao Family Village won't be bullied for nothing.”
Lin An 'an lowered her head when she heard the Clan Leader's words. She did not dare to look at the expressions of the people in the room.
" Clan Leader," Zhao Jing said to the Clan Leader," we can find a gentler way to deal with this. But Lin Anan, don't go back."”
"How can I forget about it?" Zhao Jing's uncle glared at him.”
"Such a skinny little girl cost us nearly five taels of silver.”
"Bring them back and ask them to return the betrothal gifts!”
After bringing her back, the little girl would definitely not be able to survive.
Zhao Jing was not the Holy Father, and he had only spent a short time with this little girl.
However, he really could not bear to see this lively little girl fall to the point of being forced to death.
Zhao Jing sighed in his heart. Then, he shook his head and said firmly,""Uncle, you can't retreat."
"This little girl is quite hardworking. I've already decided to let her stay.”
"Money can be earned again.”
Zhao Jing's uncle frowned slightly." Jing 'er, how can this be?”
"If this gets out, you'll be laughed at.”
"Don't worry, Uncle. These things won't affect the imperial examinations," Zhao Jing said indifferently.”
"As for the so-called jokes of others, as long as my grades are good, these are not a problem.”
As long as Zhao Jing's grades were good and he obtained an official rank.
Even if he didn't say anything, the people in the clan would have beautified this matter for him.
And everyone knew that if Lin Anan was sent back, she would definitely die.
Although they were angry, this was still a life.
Zhao Jing insisted on keeping Lin Anan.
Zhao Jing's uncle was also a protective person. When he heard that Zhao Jing was unwilling, he was already wavering.
He thought that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
Zhao Jing's family had suffered such a huge change. As an elder, he also felt sorry for him.
If he really liked it, there was no harm in keeping it.
Since Zhao Jing's uncle had already relented, the clan leader and the others were even more helpless.
After all, Zhao Jing was a scholar and a reasonable person. He was also the hope of the clan.
If he insisted on his own opinion, their clan would definitely consider his opinion.
Zhao Jing's uncle sighed and finally compromised,""Alright, you've grown up and have your own opinions.”
"How about this?"
"Let's not make a big deal out of this. Your clan leader and I will bring the matchmaker directly to the Lin family.”
"We have to tell them about this in advance so that their family won't make an issue out of it.”
This way, although it benefited the Lin family, it also saved Lin Anan's life and Zhao Jing's reputation.
Lin Anan was worried about her mother, but she couldn't say anything right now.
Zhao Jing nodded in agreement.
"I'll listen to uncle and clan leader."
"I think you didn't hear a single word."”
"Your idea is very good!"
Zhao Jing smiled and then seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh right, uncle."
Zhao Jing said as he took out Lin Anan's small cloth bag and the silver ingot.
"This is the money I earned from writing an article in the bookstore today.”
"Return it to uncle first."
"I'll give the rest to uncle in a few days.”
Zhao Jing's uncle was stunned for a moment as he looked at the silver ingot in Zhao Jing's hand.
"Ten taels of silver?"
"Writing articles makes so much money?
"It's a coincidence," Zhao Jing explained with a smile.”
"When I woke up today, I felt that something good would happen. In the end, when I went to the city, it really did happen.”
"Speaking of which, I've never had such luck.”
"I guess this is indeed effective.”
Zhao Jing's words made everyone's expressions look a little better.
If it was really effective, they would find it much more acceptable.
Zhao Jing's uncle nodded." Don't worry about the silver."”
He pushed the silver back.
"Take it first. It takes money to buy brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.”
Zhao Jing smiled and placed the silver into his uncle's hands.
"I still have to bring an article to the library tomorrow. I'll have ten taels of silver then.”
"Uncle, don't worry."
Hearing that Zhao Jing could earn twenty taels of silver by writing two articles, everyone in the room was a little envious.
Twenty taels of silver was enough for Zhao Jing to study for a year!
It seemed that this marriage was really useful.
Zhao Jing's luck had suddenly come.
The way everyone looked at Lin Anan changed.
Could it be that she really married a prosperous husband?
That didn't seem to be a loss?
"Alright, then go write your article first. We won't disturb you anymore.”
Zhao Jing's uncle did not refuse. After accepting the silver, he prepared to leave with everyone.
The world was vast, and reading was the most important thing.
Moreover, his nephew's essay could be sold for ten taels of silver.
After the people in the room left one after another, Zhao Jing closed the door.
The little girl's head was still hanging low, looking very depressed.
Zhao Jing walked up to her and stroked her soft hair.
"Still crying?"
Lin Anan raised her head, sniffed, and whispered,""No more crying."
Zhao Jing pulled her to the side and wiped her face with his fingers.
Her skin was a little rough and wet.
"Are you scared?"
Hearing her husband's gentle words, Lin An 'an felt her nose turn sour.
She thought that she would never see her husband again.
Lin Anan held back her tears and sobbed," Husband, I'm sorry."
Zhao Jing smiled and looked at the little girl's black and bright eyes that were washed away by tears.
The worry and guilt in her eyes did not diminish at all.
After some thought, he stood up and rummaged through his basket.
"Here."
Lin Anan ate something subconsciously when it was stuffed into her mouth.
Hmm?
sweet
Lin Anan stared at Zhao Jing with wide eyes.
"It's, it's candy!"
Zhao Jing nodded." Is it sweet?"”
Lin Anan sniffled and then smacked her lips. Her big eyes curved.
"So sweet!"
