The middle-aged woman continued, “they said that an old man surnamed Liu in town took the girl from the Lin family as his sixth concubine.”
“Aiyo, I heard that Old Master Liu is almost sixty years old. This time, he’s taking a concubine for luck.” The middle-aged woman waved her hand again.
When everyone at the table heard this, their faces were filled with disgust.
“Didn’t they say that after the Lin family split up, the girl went to live with her fifth brother along with her parents? Lin Yuanshan is a scholar after all. How could he let them do such a thing?”
How could a pure young woman become a concubine?
She was basically sold off.
When a woman became a concubine, her status was only slightly higher than the servants. She was not considered a master.
This girl from the Lin family was just marrying into the family to give them luck.
If she didn’t bring good fortune, the master might be unhappy and sell her off again.
“Tsk, who knows? Do you think it was her parents’ idea? It might even be Lin Yuanshan’s idea,” the middle-aged woman said.
“Before the Lin family split up, everyone in the family supported Lin Yuanshan’s studies. Now that they’ve split the money and he has no working skills, where is he going to get the money to continue his studies?”
“Old Master Liu gave him a total of 100 taels of silver!”
Everyone was shocked.
“100 taels?!”
“Yes!” The middle-aged woman nodded.
“He said that he liked Lin Lanhua’s birth characters. However, 100 taels was given to them to sign a contract!”
Everyone’s expression changed.
“They sold her?” Someone immediately said.
“Disgusting!”
“That’s right! They sent their daughter to hell for the money and they were not even desperate!”
The middle-aged woman smiled.
“Well…”
This sentence once again piqued everyone’s interest.
“Lin Lanhua herself might have volunteered.”
Everyone was shocked.
The middle-aged woman continued, “Old Master Liu’s family is rich and his wife is already dead. As long as Lin Lanhua can bring them good fortune, he’ll make her his wife!”
Everyone’s expression became strange.
Even if she was made an official wife, she would be marrying an old man who was about to die. Moreover, the outcome of such a thing was hard to say.
The woman glanced at everyone and continued, “if she stays with the Lin family, her situation is actually no better.”
“Don’t tell anyone. This is what Jiang Shi from the Lin family told me. She said that the Lin family split up because of her.”
“Previously, the Lin elders favored her and made her lazy.”
“Not only that, she bullied her three sisters-in-law. Jiang Shi had been framed by her and was almost divorced. Deng Shi was even worse off. Lin Lanhua had something on her and took all her private savings.”
“When they split up, the two elders of the Lin family even helped her keep half of the money she took.”
Everyone was shocked.
“After what happened, who in the Lin family can still stand her after the family splits up?”
