Chapter 445: Chapter 448 Waiting to Drink the Wedding Wine_1
"Taoist, I’ll have someone write the document right away, and when the time comes, I’d trouble you to talk to Xing Hua and tell her to move on to where she should be."
"That’s an easy matter, just write three copies. Make sure everything is written clearly. Then burn one copy, place a bowl of water in front of the spirit tablet, and if the water doesn’t turn red, this matter will be over. But if it turns red, you’ll have to find another way yourself."
The Taoist shook his head and spoke, clearly no stranger to deceiving people.
Lin Jinshun dared not delay and immediately asked the village’s old scholar to help write the document.
The document was written clearly, following the customs of Big Willow Village.
The groom’s family would give a dowry of three Hanged Money, various jewelry, with the betrothal money left to the bride at her departure, and the jewelry included in the bride’s dowry.
Lin Jinshun promised the dowry would include two quilts, two sets of bedding, a set of clothes for all seasons, plus one Hanged Money as dowry money.
By doing so, there wasn’t much left of the bride price.
Jiang’s Clan was so distressed she was gnashing her teeth, something that would have already made Lin Jinshun compromise in normal circumstances.
But today was different; no matter how powerful a person was, they couldn’t outdo a ghost. He was solely focused on getting rid of Chao Lian Niang, as for Jiang’s Clan, she could go wherever it was cool.
He would settle scores with her later!
Lin Jinshun, following the Taoist’s instructions, burned one of the documents and then carefully placed a bowl of water in front of the spirit tablet.
"Xing Hua, in a moment of folly, I wronged Chao Lian. I admit my mistake; please forgive me..."
Lin Jinshun rambled on, uttering a lot of words, yet the water in the bowl remained crystal clear.
The Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Chao Lian Niang has forgiven you. However, she remembers all that you’ve said today, and if you go back on your word, you’ll have to fend for yourself."
Lin Jinshun quickly nodded, "I understand, I wouldn’t dare."
With this, the matter was perfectly resolved, except for Lin Jinshun and his wife, whose faces were as bitter as gourds, everyone else was quite happy.
The village head waved his hand, "Alright everyone, go back. We’ll just wait for Erhu to invite us to the wedding feast!"
Back in his own yard, Sun Erhu still couldn’t believe that everything that had happened today was real.
The Lin Family had actually agreed to let him marry Chao Lian, and the bride price was only Three or Two Silver, something he would not have dared to dream of!
Sun Erhu couldn’t help but pinch his thigh, nearly bringing tears to his eyes from the pain.
So it was real!
"Sister-in-law, how did you do it? Did Chao Lian’s mother really come back? It’s amazing!" Sun Erhu looked at Qiao Duo’er with admiration.
Qiao Duo glanced at the young Taoist, "I just said something off the cuff; the Taoist did everything else."
"Certainly not the real thing, just some charlatan tricks. If you had probed, I’d be dead from starvation in the future!" Yun Xu humbly said.
Sun Erhu scratched his head, "Huh? But I saw Uncle Lin almost faint from pain."
"There’s an acupoint on the body called ’pain point’."
Qiao Duo snickered, she could send a stone flying over and give him enough pain to cope with.
Sun Erhu guessed the gist of the situation and hurriedly stood up to bow, "I won’t say thanks over and over, I’ll treat everyone to lunch today!"
"With your cooking skills, better not!"
Qiao Duo couldn’t help but tease, remembering Sun Erhu’s lunch made with love.
Sun Erhu looked at Chao Lian, "Future wife, will you help me out?"
"I... I’m here to work for sister-in-law; I can’t neglect my duties," Chao Lian said with her head down.
Sun Erhu grinned sheepishly, after all, Chao Lian hadn’t denied being his future wife.
Qiao Duo’er said generously, "I’ll permit you to help him. Otherwise, the meal Erhu makes might poison someone to death."
