Quick travel to save a miserable life

Chapter 461 A woman on the run 36

Lin Jiacheng soon set off back to his hometown in Feng County.

After arriving in his hometown of Taohua Town, he did not show up. Instead, he asked someone to inquire about Linjiazhuang. After getting the information he wanted, he approached the clan leader.

"What, Chengzi, you didn't die back then. You even arrived in the capital. Now you have joined the army and are eating the imperial food. Haha, I didn't expect that there is a member of the Lin family who is eating the imperial food!"

Although the old patriarch is over fifty, he is still in good health. The famine of the past two years has not affected him at all. Now that he heard that Lin Jiacheng has joined the army, he is very happy.

For him, if one of the descendants of the Lin family becomes successful, it is a sign that the family is prosperous. After he becomes prosperous, he will have the opportunity to lead the clan members. In this way, wouldn't it become a prosperous clan?

However, he was a little hesitant about Lin Jiacheng's suggestion that he wanted to adopt his uncle's branch.

Although he also knows that Lin Dayou is a shameless person, and his current wife, Zou, is not a good person, but it is not a good idea to change his origin when his biological father is still here!

"Uncle, thanks to you, our Lin family has been prosperous and prosperous for so many years. As a descendant of the Lin family, even though I am just living in a humble position, I still want to do my part. I plan to use all my years as a descendant. Donate the twenty taels of silver you have accumulated to buy a few acres of land, which will be counted as family property, and the income will be used to help the orphans and widows in the family, what do you think?"

Lin Jiacheng was cautious and did not reveal his true current position. He only said that he was the lowest-ranking primary school student.

Moreover, he also hinted that if the clan leader can take good care of his biological father's family and prevent them from going to Beijing to cause trouble for him, he will give back to the clan in the future.

Patriarch Lin couldn't help but feel proud after hearing this.

There are indeed many people in the clan who need relief. As the clan leader, he is also powerless. He can't have to pay for everything out of his own pocket. Not to mention that he doesn't have so much wealth. Even if he does, he can't always be taken advantage of. Now there are people who are willing You pay this amount, but you get the good reputation yourself. This is a good thing that comes to your doorstep!

But he knew very well that there was a premise for what Xiao Chengzi said, that is, his adoption should be settled.

Forget it, anyway, Lin Da and his wife are not good people, and they deserve to lose such a good son.

The clan leader quickly decided on the matter and immediately asked his son to invite the elders of the clan to discuss it.

Naturally, the old men were unwilling to buy land for the clan, and of course they had no objections to the adoption. They were not their children and grandchildren anyway, so it didn't matter who they adopted.

Therefore, Lin Dayou was called to the ancestral hall and learned that his eldest son was still alive and would be adopted into his uncle's name.

He was shocked at first, and then expressed confusion. Since his son was still alive and well, why was he adopted out and not his son?

But no one helped him to answer his questions. He was just passively informed of the incident.

Lin Dayou had never been inconspicuous in the village and was used to being shy. However, for such an important matter as his son being adopted, he still had the courage to ask the clan leader and several elders for the reason.

Several respected elders had no intention of paying attention to him, and although the patriarch did pay attention to him, what he said was a threat.

The patriarch told the reason why Lin Jiacheng was adopted: "Xiao Chengzi is now valued by the Shangguan and hired a son-in-law. They don't want the son-in-law to be involved in the family, so the adoption was introduced."

Moreover, the patriarch also solemnly warned him: "Xiao Chengzi is no longer your son. If you dare to cause trouble for him on the basis of his identity as his biological father, don't blame me for ruthlessly crossing out your family from the genealogy." , expel Linjia Village!"

Lin Dayou felt as if he had just eaten Coptis chinensis, which made him feel bitter from his mouth to his heart.

The shock he received today was too great. First, he found out that his son was alive, and then he was informed that his son had been adopted. This series of events had no room for him to comment. Moreover, until now, he had not even heard of his son. I haven’t even seen his face!

This ungrateful and unfilial son should have let him die with his short-lived mother. What's the use of feeding him so much for nothing? How dare he deny his biological father!

Lin Dayou was full of resentment and curses towards Lin Jiacheng, but it was a pity that the Lin family could not hear these in Chengdu. After he saw the new genealogy and was sure that he had been recorded as a grandson in the name of his uncle, he hurriedly returned to Beijing.

This time he was on a tight schedule, and it only took him less than two months. But when he arrived in Beijing, he was only slightly tired, but didn't feel any discomfort.

Lin Jiacheng knew in his heart that this was probably due to the boxing manual bought by his sister. Since he started practicing the above moves and breathing methods, he felt that he was making progress day by day.

He felt that his body was lighter than before, his agility had also improved a lot, and the most obvious thing was the improvement in strength.

Originally, he could only lift an eighty-kilogram stone lock, which was very difficult, but now, a one-hundred-kilogram stone lock can be easily lifted in his hands.

Later, he also asked his sister to take him to the bookstall to see if there were any similar secret books, but unfortunately the bookstall was gone.

Lin Huixin said, even if the bookshelf is there, there won’t be another secret book!

Lin Hui was very satisfied with Lin Jiacheng's work when he returned to his hometown. She had been teaching him through words and deeds over the past few years, and she had finally seen some results.

Now that these things are settled, the marriage with the Zhou family can be put on the agenda.

Lin Hui went shopping for a whole day and purchased a lot of things for her job. Of course, she also took the opportunity to sneak some out of the space, so that she could save some money.

Lin Jiacheng invited Chen Xiaowei's wife to be a matchmaker and went to Zhou Xiaowei's home to propose marriage. The woman refused twice symbolically and then agreed to the marriage.

Captain Zhou was a little surprised by the generous betrothal gift offered by the Lin family.

He knew that Lieutenant Lin was from a humble background, and that he had gained his current official position only after winning the favor of General Zhou a few years ago. He estimated that the Lin family had little family background and was prepared for a small betrothal gift. He did not expect that he would be so generous. , the betrothal gift is worth at least seventy or eighty taels!

This made Captain Zhou happy but also a little embarrassed. What he was happy about was that the man paid a large betrothal gift, which proved that he valued his daughter.

But his family is of average wealth and he has two sons. The dowry originally bought for his daughter was almost all the family's remaining wealth. But now, the man's betrothal gift exceeds his expectations, which makes him feel that his daughter's dowry is a bit thin. , but if you want to add more, you have to use the old foundation at home!

Zhou Danniu, also known as Zhou Fanghua, saw her father in such distress and couldn't help but smile: "Dad, since the Lin family has come to propose marriage, they already know about our family's situation and know that my dowry is not large, so we don't need to pretend to be fat. Besides, the quality of life is not determined by the amount of dowry. If the dowry for me causes starvation for the family, I will not obey!"

Zhou Fanghua's words made Captain Zhou lose his sadness and reveal a comfortable smile: This big girl, no wonder her mother and I love her so much. Who wouldn't love such a sensible child?
