The child in front of him looked to be about 1.5 meters tall. His big eyes were blinking, black and bright.
She was thin and small, wearing a wedding dress that obviously did not fit her.
Her small body was so thin that it looked like it could be blown away by the wind.
However, there was a blush on her face.
Hearing Zhao Jing's question, her small body trembled nervously.
Zhao Jing frowned and looked at her.
"I, I'm Lin, Lin Anan!"
"It's, it's husband's wife."
The crisp voice of a young girl was soft because she was a little shy.
Zhao Jing frowned as he looked at the little girl in front of him.
Was he also surnamed Lin?
Zhao Jing coughed lightly. He was probably only 70 - 80% familiar with the scene in front of him.
"You're the daughter brought by the stepmother of the Lin family?”
"Your mother asked you to come over?"
Zhao Jing said sternly.
Hearing this question, the child's black eyelashes trembled as if he was shocked.
"I, I am getting married today."
" You are my husband. You married An An."
However, he still answered Zhao Jing's question honestly.
Zhao Jing remembered his uncle saying that his father had married a second wife in Lin Wenting's family.
That second wife had escaped disaster and brought a burden with her.
Strictly speaking, this person could be considered Lin Wenting's younger sister.
The person in front of him was probably that burden.
He looked at the little girl who was blinking her big eyes and looking at him with fear and doubt.
Zhao Jing's frown deepened.
This person looked like a child.
Moreover, from her words, it seemed that she knew about his situation.
Did she think that she was the one she married?
"How old are you?"
Lin Anan bit her small lips and responded in a soft voice.
"Ten, seventeen!"
She glanced at Zhao Jing, who was frowning, and then tried to call out,""Hu-husband."
"I, although I look a little thin, I'm very hardworking!”
"Sister also said that you won't despise me."
The little girl clenched her fists even tighter.
She stole a glance at Zhao Jing and quickly looked away.
Her sister said that she was going to get married in a few days. As long as she got married obediently, she would let her father use her betrothal gift money to buy medicine for her mother.
Lin Anan did not know why she was suddenly getting married, but her mother was sick and no one at home could answer her questions.
Early this morning, her sister had given her a wedding dress and asked her to put it on. Then, she had put her on the ox cart that had come to pick up the bride.
Zhao Jing rubbed the space between his eyebrows, feeling a slight headache.
The daughter of the family he married into was a famous beauty.
But now, she had become a skinny little girl in front of him. A little girl who had not started to develop yet?
Anyone else would probably be angry.
Zhao Jing was a mature man, so he didn't lay a hand on the little girl.
However, his voice was clearly filled with anger.
"What does your sister mean?"
"If you don't want to marry her, can't you just break off the engagement?”
"Why should I let you marry in my place?"
Lin Anan sniffed and looked at Zhao Jing pitifully.
My husband is so fierce
Substitute marriage?
Wasn't she the one getting married?
She had indeed seen someone come to the house to discuss the marriage, but her sister said that it was a young master from the city who came to discuss the marriage with her.
She doesn't know if she's a substitute
Zhao Jing was so angry that he laughed.
If this Lin family member didn't want to marry, why didn't he just reject her?
In the end, he did this at this time.
Seeing the little girl's confused expression, Zhao Jing felt a headache coming on.
"Your family is cheating. If I go to the authorities, not only will your family have to compensate me for the betrothal gift, but your entire family will also be arrested and beaten.”
"Do you know that my family spent almost five taels of silver to marry your sister?”
Lin Anan trembled in fear when she heard the word " marriage fraud."
How did things turn out like this?
She sniffed and begged,"I, I don't know."
"My mother is sick. Father refused to buy medicine for her, so she can't get up from bed.”
"Sister said that your family wants a daughter-in-law who will bring about good fortune and asked me to marry her.”
"As long as I marry over and take the betrothal gift money, she will buy medicine for my mother.”
"My, my mother doesn't know either."
Lin Anan's sister also said that her husband was a sickly person.
He would probably die very soon.
When her husband died of illness, she would still allow him to return home.
Lin Anan didn't dare to say anything about this.
After all, she did not want to curse the man in front of her and curse him to be sick.
However, Lin Anan couldn't hold back her tears at the mention of her mother.
She sobbed and said,"I-I'll take her place. I'll beat her up!" My mother is sick. You can't hit her. Hit me.”
Zhao Jing sighed again when he saw the little girl's panic-stricken and pleading face.
"Alright, stop crying."
The little girl trembled a few times in fear at his voice and looked at him pleadingly.
Her big eyes were bright from the tears.
Zhao Jing looked at her speechlessly, feeling that he couldn't even get angry.
After Lin Anan finished crying, she suddenly thought of something more important.
The good-looking man in front of her said that she was a substitute.
Then wouldn't she be sent back?
However, under everyone's watchful eyes, the two of them had already paid their respects.
If she was sent back after paying her respects, she would definitely not be able to live!
" We, we've married. I, I'm yours. Please don't chase me back."
"You, if you don't want me, I can work to return the betrothal gift."
voice became softer and softer
Lin Anan felt that she was too despicable.
But there was no other way.
A young lady who had gone through the wedding ceremony was chased back to her maiden home. What awaited her was only death.
She also wants to live
She and her mother had escaped disaster all the way here and finally settled down for a few years.
If she died, what would happen to her mother?
Now, everything was clear.
Zhao Jing knew that he had been tricked into getting married.
Because she was Chong Xi's wife, she had spent a lot of money.
This person probably heard that he was sick and did not have much money at home.
Therefore, she had other thoughts and found a little kid to replace her.
Zhao Jing facepalmed.
The beautiful wife that he had promised was gone. It was replaced by a little bean sprout who called him husband.
As a normal man, he did not have any special hobbies.
Although in this world, many people had children at this little girl's age.
However, Zhao Jing felt a headache coming on.
He did not have any feelings for his wife, whom he had never met before.
It's just this feeling of being deceived
While he was in a daze, a cup was handed to him. It was half filled with tea.
"Husband, husband, you drank a lot of wine just now.”
Zhao Jing glanced at her indifferently and did not reply.
When the little girl saw him like this, she secretly wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I, I can work! I will go up the mountain to gather firewood, and I can do all the work in the fields!”
"I, I…"
"I don't eat much, so it's easy to feed me."
"Husband, husband!"
Because of fear, the little girl spoke very softly.
Listening carefully, she was still trembling slightly, but she still tried her best to promote herself.
Husband?
Receiving the little girl's expectant and timid gaze, Zhao Jing felt like facepalming when he thought of how this person seemed to be his legitimate wife in the future.
Zhao Jing didn't know what to say about such a pitiful girl.
Moreover, the thing that gave him the biggest headache was that this little girl had just paid her respects to him in front of everyone.
He was also labeled as his own.
If he sent her back now, he would definitely be able to get his betrothal money back after this matter blew up.
After all, in ancient times, a woman's reputation was very important.
This way, this skinny little girl would probably be ruined.
The Lin family probably had the same idea.
Breaking off the engagement did not sound good.
As long as he tricked this little girl over.
Even if things got out of hand, they would at most say that there was a mistake in the marriage proposal. After that, they would not lose anything.
Zhao Jing shook his head when he saw the pitiful little girl staring at him.
Both of them were set up by someone.
"Husband!"
He seemed to have sensed that Zhao Jing was loosening up.
Lin Anan called out weakly.
The voice was small and soft, sounding extremely pitiful.
Looking at the teacup in the little girl's hand, Zhao Jing took it helplessly.""It's not right for you to do this."
Then, he saw the pair of big black eyes brighten up for a moment after seeing him take the tea from her hand.
It's, it's actually quite cute
