Longevity, Invincible From Taking Concubines.
Chapter 5 I Agree To This Marriage
Wang Sao had just arrived at the doorstep of Lin Yuxi's house when she saw dark clouds rolling in the sky.
Seeing that it was about to rain heavily, she hurriedly quickened her pace and walked over.
Seeing Lin Yuxi, who was dressed plainly and clean, about to leave the house, she quickly pulled her inside.
"Wang Sao? Are you here to take shelter from the rain?"
"I still have work to do. Just close the door when you leave."
Looking at the weather outside, she took out a homemade oil-paper umbrella from a corner and was about to leave.
But Wang Sao pulled her back and made her sit on a three-legged chair with a stone cushion.
Although the thatched house was simple, it did not leak.
This was the result of her regular maintenance.
Wang Sao glanced around and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
But from now on, her life would completely change.
"Yuxi, I'm here to talk to you about marriage. From now on, you can completely part ways with this difficult life."
Lin Yuxi's beautiful face was filled with confusion.
Her beautiful eyes were full of doubt.
She smoothed her hair behind her ear with her slightly rough jade hand.
She looked at Wang Sao with a calm gaze.
"Auntie, please don't joke with me. I know my own situation."
"I have a debt of over ten thousand Xuanjing on me. Who would marry me without causing trouble for themselves?"
"If they have that much money, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find someone better than me."
Saying this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
A bitter smile appeared on her face.
"To put it bluntly, as long as the other party isn't foolish, they wouldn't do something irrational like that."
The rain outside started to fall, landing on the thatched roof and forming a curtain of rain that slid down to the ground.
Inside the house.
Wang Sao smiled at her like this, until she finished speaking, she took out a bag of Xuanjing and placed it on the table.
"Now, ask me anything you want. Auntie knows your personality. If there's anything you can't accept, feel free to mention it."
Seeing this thing, her pupils involuntarily contracted, and her body trembled instinctively.
But she quickly regained her composure and looked at Wang Sao with a serious gaze.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked.
"Does he want me to be a living sacrifice for him?"
A living sacrifice is similar to a burial companion.
But a living sacrifice is someone who needs to be nailed inside a coffin and buried together with the corpse.
Usually, only people who can't find peace in death would choose this method of burial.
It is said that after becoming a living sacrifice, the soul will be continuously tormented by the soul of the deceased until their resentment dissipates.
Normally, no one would willingly become a living sacrifice.
But it doesn't rule out those who are desperate.
Wang Sao smiled and shook her head.
"What are you thinking, Yuxi? Jiang Ge may look a bit old, but he is a handsome old man. Especially in that aspect, I have been craving him for a long time."
"I just never had the chance."
Hearing her say this, Lin Yuxi understood the situation a bit.
The other party is an older man.
He must be quite wealthy to be able to offer so much money for her.
Knowing this much is enough for her.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
She nodded slightly.
"Wang Sao, I agree to this marriage."
It was quite unexpected for her to agree so readily.
She thought she would have to spend more effort to convince her.
Now, a lot of trouble has been saved.
She casually took out a thousand Xuanjing.
"Here, this is the betrothal gift. Keep it well. Don't let your useless younger brother see it."
Wang Sao didn't have any intention of taking this money.
Lin Yuxi has had a hard life.
She has always seen it.
This time, she can help her resolve this marriage matter, and she is also happy for her.
In the future, they will be neighbors.
They can visit each other more often.
Seeing her take out another thousand Xuanjing, Lin Yuxi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Auntie, this benefactor has already helped me repay a debt of ten thousand Xuanjing. How can I accept his betrothal gift?"
"Doing this to me, how can I continue to live as a human being?"
But Wang Sao just glared at her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the rule, the procedure. Without this step, what are you worth? Are you selling yourself like merchandise?"
"If Jiang Ge finds out about this, should I continue in this line of work?"
"Listen, you must accept the bride price. If you feel guilty, then spend these years with Jiang Ge."
"He's quite lonely by himself."
Hearing her say this,
Lin Yuxi didn't act coy anymore and nodded to accept.
But she took out five hundred Xuanjing from inside and handed it to her solemnly.
"Sister-in-law, this part belongs to you, it must not be missing. I'm not an inexperienced little girl. You can't fool me so easily."
Wang Sao gave her a disdainful look.
"Just you, so clever."
"Keep it well, consider it a gift from your sister-in-law."
"Pack yourself up tomorrow. I'll come to take you there in two days."
"Okay, I'll listen to sister-in-law."
The rain outside came and went quickly.
In just a few minutes, the deep red glow of the setting sun reappeared.
If it weren't for the damp stone ground, who would believe that there had just been a brief drizzle?
After settling things with Wang Sao, she didn't linger any longer.
It was already late, and there were useless things at home waiting for her to attend to.
Despite the strong words she said when leaving, their relationship was actually very good.
The usual teasing of Jiang Chuan was just for fun.
She opened the courtyard gate and gestured for her not to accompany her, then hurriedly left.
Lin Yuxi stood at the door, watching her leave, feeling much lighter.
The huge stone that had been weighing on her was finally about to be lifted, and for a moment, she felt a bit lost.
Originally, her life goal was just to repay her debts.
But now that she could pay off her debts soon, her whole life seemed to lose its meaning all at once.
She shook her head slightly.
She would take care of the person who had brought all this to her for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated.
She quickly left with the bag of Xuanjing.
She couldn't let her younger brother see this thing, otherwise she didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Now she had to repay this debt as soon as possible.
Fortune Gambling House.
A young man with a small beard grumbled as he walked out.
His luck wasn't good today.
He had lost all his living expenses again.
There was no choice but to go ask his sister for some more.
But as soon as he stepped out, a stranger tapped him on the shoulder.
He was annoyed at first, but when he turned around, the displeasure on his face disappeared and was replaced with a pleasing expression.
"Master Zhao? Do you have something to tell me?"
The big and round-bellied middle-aged man in front of him was Zhao Youcai, the owner of this Fortune Gambling House.
He had been mixing in the county town of Gusu for decades and was quite successful in this area. He knew many people on all sides.
He knew this young man in front of him very well, especially his beautiful sister. He had already had thoughts about her.
Seeing his appearance, a look of impatience appeared on his face.
"Xiao Linzi, you owe me quite a bit of money here. When are you planning to pay it back?"
Lin Pingzhi's face showed embarrassment when he heard this.
But this wasn't the first time he had encountered this kind of situation, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
"Master Zhao, don't worry. I'll go back and ask my sister for the money. I'll be able to pay off this debt soon."
"Is that so? It's not that I look down on you. But you should know that my patience is limited."
"If you still can't pay back this money, then I'll have to use your sister to settle the account."
Lin Pingzhi secretly cursed in his heart, but who asked him to owe two hundred Xuanjing?
Now he could only swallow his pride.
"Don't worry, I understand the rules. I'll figure something out when I go back."
Watching his hurried departure, a cold smile appeared on Zhao Youcai's face.
