The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 565: Selling his Body to bury his Father

The reason why scholar Zhang knelt here for so long and no one dared to buy him with ten taels of silver was not only because he was a man, but also because they were afraid of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family was one of the three big families in An ding County. Buying scholar Zhang was equivalent to offending the Zhang family. Hence, no one would take the risk.

However, a child who came out of nowhere took up his offer for twenty taels. This was an offense to the Zhang family.

However, when this person announced the Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knew that county Magistrate Zhou of the Zhou family was behind this restaurant, so that was why the girl was not afraid of offending the Zhang family.

Scholar Zhang took the two silver ingots and looked at Lin yuelan with gratitude and hope in his eyes. At the same time, there were also feelings of bitterness and determination.

With gratitude and tears in his eyes, he said to Lin yuelan, ” thank you, thank you! After that, he said firmly, ” master, don’t worry. After I settle my father’s funeral and personal affairs, I will definitely report to the restaurant in three days!”

As he spoke, he handed over the slave contract he had written to Lin yuelan.

Unexpectedly, Lin yuelan didn’t take it. She only shook her head and said, ” No.”

When Lin yuelan shook her head, it made scholar Zhang’s heart thump. He was extremely nervous and uneasy.

Lin yuelan continued, ” scholar Zhang, I didn’t buy you as a slave. I’m just paying you in advance.”

So much?

No matter if it was scholar Zhang himself or the crowd watching the show, they were all confused and didn’t know what was going on.

Pay in advance? What was scholar Zhang going to do in this restaurant?

Lin yuelan didn’t explain much. She said, ” you’ll know when you get to the restaurant in three days!”

After that, she and Jiang Zhennan left the place.

She didn’t accept the contract, nor did she restrict his movements. She wasn’t afraid that scholar Zhang would run away with the silver.

This caused the surrounding people to be shocked once again.

They were certain that this child was really too stupid. The money had been given, but there was no contract or action. Who would be so stupid as to come to her door and become a slave?

Lin yuelan didn’t care what others thought.

When she and Jiang Zhennan walked out of that place and came to the end of the street, a young man dressed like a manservant stood in front of them and said to them with an unfriendly expression, ” my master would like to see you two!”

When the Zhang family heard that Lin Yuelan had bought Zhang Yuanbin, the Zhang family immediately sent people to stop them.

Lin yuelan raised her brows and pursed her lips into a faint smile. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, ” your master wants to see you? Do I know who your master is? Brother Nan, is this someone u know?” Lin yuelan turned around and asked Jiang Zhennan curiously.

Jiang Zhennan was very cooperative with Lin yuelan. He shook his head and said, ” I don’t know their master.”

Lin yuelan tilted her head and said in confusion, ” you don’t know him, and I don’t know him either. That’s strange. Who is this person who suddenly appeared? ” Hey, who is your master?” In short, Lin yuelan was just pretending.

With his nose up, the manservant said arrogantly, ” Hmph, my master is master Zhang Xingwang from the Zhang family, one of the three big families in An Ding County!” The Zhang family was one of the three big families in An Ding County. As a slave, he had the right to be arrogant.

Lin yuelan immediately nodded in understanding and said, ” Oh, so your master is the old master of the Zhang family.”

This manservant’s nose was still up in the air, and he snorted at Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan. He was full of disdain and contempt as if it was a great honor for them to be able to be addressed by that so-called old master Zhang.

However, his face immediately turned livid.

“But what does it have to do with me whether your family is one of the three great clans or whether your master is old master Zhang?” Lin yuelan sneered and said, ” he said he wanted to see us, and we have to go to him obediently? Go and reply to your old master Zhang that I, Lin yuelan, am not free. When I am free, I will go and meet old master Zhang!”

The manservant’s face turned livid with anger.

He pointed at Lin yuelan angrily and shouted, ” you… you’re too impudent! Do you know the consequences of offending my master?”

Lin yuelan sneered and said, ” I, Lin yuelan, will accept any consequences! Big brother Nan, let’s go!”

Looking at their backs, the manservant stomped his feet in anger. In the end, he could only run to the Zhang mansion in an imposing manner to report to old master Zhang.

At the Zhang mansion, a bearded middle-aged man in silk and satin heard the servant’s report and his face turned green. The expression in his eyes was dark and unclear. He asked sternly, ” did she really say that? Are you sure she’s only twelve or thirteen?”

The manservant added fuel to the fire and said, ” she really said that. She said, ‘he said he wanted to see us, and we have to go to him obediently? Go and reply to your old master Zhang that I, Lin yuelan, am not free. When I am free, I will go and meet old master Zhang!’ Hmph, old master, listen to this. A lowly girl like her doesn’t even put you in her eyes. Old master, we have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, Zhang Yuanbin might escape from your hands, old master!”

Zhang Yuanbin was the scholar Zhang who had sold himself to bury his father.

“Master, you’ve won back the position of the head of the Zhang family with great effort. You should not lose your position because of this accident!”

Even if this manservant didn’t remind him, Zhang Xingwang would never let any accidents happen, especially letting Zhang Yuanbin escape from his palm.

He immediately instructed the manservant, ” go and send a letter of a visit to County Magistrate Zhou. Say that I, Zhang Xingwang, want to pay him a visit!”
