Chapter 336 - 336 Who Wouldn’t?

336 Who Wouldn’t?

Since things had already come to this point, Lin Xicui’s father had nothing to hide either. “We’ve already sent Xicui’s birth chart to the Feng family. The fortune-teller told Feng that as long as my daughter marries into the family, she will be able to give birth to a son for him! Hurry up and tear the marriage contract, don’t get in the way of our family’s future fortune!”

Feng did not have a son and had always hoped to have a son. He had taken in many concubines, but none of them could give birth to a son for him. However, this year, a fortune-teller told him that the birth chart of concubines was also important. Therefore, many families sent their daughter’s birth charts to the Feng family to choose from. The Lin family saw it as an opportunity, so they secretly sent their daughter’s birth chart over, regardless of the engagement.

Feng let the fortune-teller read each of their birth charts, and the fortune-teller took a fancy to Lin Xicui’s birth chart.

Lin Xicui’s parents had actually sent her birth chart a long time ago, but because there was no reply from Feng’s family, they didn’t know if it would work out.

They observed as Xue Sanfu’s family lives were getting better and better. Soon enough, they become the richest family in the surrounding villages. They even became envious and wanted to bask in the glory. However, they thought that if they could get close to Feng, they wouldn’t need to care about Xue Sanfu’s family at all. Therefore, they patiently waited for the news. If they couldn’t get close to Feng, it wouldn’t be too late to come back and bask in Xue Sanfu’s glory.

After all, Xue Sanfu was still engaged to their girl.

However, yesterday, someone from Feng’s family suddenly came to inform them that the fortune-teller said that their daughter’s birth chart was optimal. As long as she married into that family, she would be able to give birth to a son for Feng. He quickly ordered his people to contact the Lin family and wed her.

They naturally wanted to break off the engagement with Xue Sanfu before they sent her to town.

Conveniently, they heard that Xue Sanfu had returned home at the same time they received the good news. To them, it was the perfect sign to call it off.

Jiang Yue had been in the village for quite some time. In addition, there was someone who had married a wife in the village before. She knew that in this world, the only way to cancel a marriage contract was to tear the marriage contract that proved that they were engaged. This marriage contract had not been registered with the government, but it was still used as proof before that. Therefore, she was not surprised when she heard Lin Xicui’s father asking to tear the contract.

This marriage contract was different from a marriage contract with betrothal gifts.

A marriage contract with betrothal gifts had to be registered with the government. Even if one wanted to go back on their word, the girl was already someone else’s, which was equivalent to getting a marriage certificate at the civil affairs bureau.

She just looked at Lin Xicui. Lin Xicui also sat there, but her head was slightly lowered. She looked at the ground and did not say a word. She was obviously willing to break the contract.

However, Liu Guixia couldn’t take the disrespect and asked Lin Xicui, “Xicui, everyone says you’re a good girl. Do you want to be a concubine?”

Lin Xicui still had her head slightly lowered. Her voice was soft but firm. “Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to marry off richer?”

Liu Guixia couldn’t believe that Lin Xicui had said that. Was this the good girl that everyone was talking about? If she had known that this girl was like this, she would never have allowed this girl to be engaged to Sanfu!

Xue Sifu immediately sneered, “It seems that Feng gave your family quite a bit of money.”

Xue Wufu immediately jumped up, “I was wondering why you didn’t come earlier. So that’s what happened! Just you wait, our family will be richer soon! You’ll regret it!”

In his previous life, Lin Xicui’s family was destroyed.
