The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 41: Crying Until Blind

In the Great Long Dynasty.

Daughters who were assigned by the government were no different from spilled water.

Their status in their husband's family was extremely low, similar to that of obedient slaves.

Otherwise, women wouldn't be assigned in such a manner.

In Su Family Village, most families were in the same situation.

This was the sorrow of ancient women. Except for a small number of wealthy families, the rest were all like this, humble and sorrowful.

How different it was from modern society.

Girls nowadays have already achieved great success, yet they are still unsatisfied. The majority of boys are living in difficult circumstances.

The slightest dissatisfaction would result in a warning to give birth to a child!

But now, in this ancient setting, Su Xiaoxiao, who was assigned not long ago, had returned. Moreover, she returned with the accompaniment of a prominent figure, riding in a luxurious carriage, and came back in a grand manner.

The various gifts taken out by the coachman from the carriage dazzled their eyes even more.

At a glance, it was clear that she had returned to visit her family.

When would women assigned by the government receive such treatment?

"Are our eyes playing tricks on us?"

The elder of the clan who accompanied them rubbed his hazy eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.

If it wasn't an illusion, how could they see such a scene?

"Su girl, is it really you?"

The village chief couldn't believe it and spoke up.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the familiar elder and nodded excitedly, "Yes, it's me. You didn't mistake me."

When it was confirmed that there was no mistake, the people of Su Family Village were once again astonished.

"I never expected that the daughter of Su Sanshui's family would actually rise up like a phoenix. If Su Sanshui knew about this from beneath the Three Waters, I believe he would smile even in the afterlife!"

The people in the village were envious of this.

Especially the women, who were filled with longing.

Unfortunately, it was just longing.

Not everyone could be like Lin Fan, not only having the conditions but also respecting their wives.

"I never thought I would see you again."

The village chief confirmed that he hadn't made a mistake and couldn't help but sigh.

When Su Xiaoxiao was assigned, he had also seen her off, thinking that it was a farewell.

After all, those who needed to wait for the government to assign a wife were rough men from poor areas. They would definitely choose wives who could work. Su Xiaoxiao, a delicate woman, was not someone anyone dared to choose.

The pressure of life was so great.

If they married a wife who couldn't endure hardship or do farm work, it was very likely that the whole family would be dragged down.

Head taxes were no joke.

Many men would rather not marry than choose these women as their wives.

The ultimate fate of these women was most likely to enter the brothels and contribute to the prosperity of the dynasty.

It was very sad.

But this was the current situation of the Great Long Dynasty, twisted to the point where it was unbelievable.

Su Xiaoxiao also felt emotional, but she was more grateful to her husband.

If she hadn't met Lin Fan, not to mention returning home in such glory, she might have already been humiliated in the brothels.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The village chief murmured and looked towards Lin Fan cautiously, asking, "Su girl, could this be your husband?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded happily in response, "Yes, Uncle Su, this is my husband Lin Fan. Today, he accompanied me to visit my mother and my family."

Her words were filled with a strong sense of happiness, causing the eyes of those women who were also assigned to marriage to turn red with envy, wishing they could take her place.

Unfortunately, it can only be a thought.

That burly and round figure, with rough and dark skin, is not Lin Fan's type. He wouldn't even be able to swallow it if it was given to him for free.

"Hello, Uncle Su."

Lin Fan politely greeted, as he should give face to his wife's elder.

"Hello, hello."

The village chief appeared cautious and didn't dare to act like an elder.

Not to mention the luxurious car, just Lin Fan's extraordinary temperament alone was not something he dared to disrespect.

In this world, those who held power were all important figures. If they were displeased, one wouldn't even know how they would die.

"Uncle Su, there's no need to be so polite. Since you are my wife's elder, you are also my elder. There's no need for such formalities."

Lin Fan spoke gently, not paying attention to the difference in social status.

Or rather,

He was just an ordinary person himself.

Just compared to other ordinary people, he possessed some advanced skills.

But the village chief across from him didn't dare to think like that and remained respectful.

Regarding this,

Lin Fan helplessly shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but before she could speak, a choked cry came from the crowd.

"My little girl, have you really come back? Come here to me quickly."

It was an old woman with white hair and simple clothing. She pushed through the crowd and excitedly shouted.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked around, but there was a vacant look in them. It seemed like she was looking everywhere but couldn't see anything.

"Mother!"

Su Xiaoxiao saw the old woman and immediately ran towards her, crying and throwing herself into her arms.

"It really is my little girl, it really is my little girl!"

The old woman listened to the familiar voice and felt the touch of the person she knew so well, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Because Su Xiaoxiao was too excited at first, she didn't notice anything unusual about her mother.

But when her emotions stabilized a bit, she noticed something off about her mother.

That was, even though she was very close, her mother couldn't see her until she spoke.

The two embraced each other, not with their eyes, but with their hands.

Thinking of this,

Her heart sank.

With trepidation, she looked into her mother's eyes, and when she saw the cloudy and lifeless eyes, she instantly broke down.

"Mother! What happened to your eyes? What happened to your eyes?"

Su Xiaoxiao cried and asked, tears flowing like a broken dam.

"Mother is fine, it's just that my eyesight has deteriorated with age. You don't need to worry about me, I'm fine."

The old woman smiled and comforted her, reaching out to wipe away Su Xiaoxiao's tears. The affection of a loved one moved everyone.

But the more it was like this, the more heartbroken Su Xiaoxiao felt at this moment.

"Uncle Su, what's the situation with my mother's eyes?"

Lin Fan immediately noticed that his mother-in-law had gone blind and furrowed his brows, asking the village chief next to him.

"Ah~"

The village chief sighed and replied, "When Su Xiaoxiao was taken away and returned, she was rejected by familiar people and was likely to be sent to a brothel. After Su Xiaoxiao's third sister-in-law learned of this information, she cried every day, thinking that she had harmed her own child, and eventually cried herself blind."

Su Xiaoxiao was so well taken care of and had delicate skin, indicating that she was highly favored at home.

But such favor ultimately harmed her child. How could she not regret it?

If it weren't for Lin Fan's transmigration, Su Xiaoxiao's fate might have ended up the same as the information that was sent back.

Even though there was a reason, the persistent mother still couldn't get over it.

Upon learning the cause and effect, Lin Fan fell silent.

He thought his mother-in-law had been mistreated and had already planned how to help her seek revenge.

But he didn't expect it to be like this.

Such things were usually seen in TV dramas, but one day he witnessed it with his own eyes, and it was his own mother-in-law.

At this moment,

He didn't know what to say.
