Chapter 544: Chapter 548: Put Down the Scissors_1
Sun Erhu had just stood up when a girl stopped him, "You can’t go, it’s bad luck to see each other before meeting the wedding procession, and people will gossip." 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"I’ll go, you stay at home. When the time comes, you can go to greet the bride," she said, reassuring him with a glance.
Although she was mentally prepared, when she arrived at the Lin Family’s house, Qiao Duo’er was still shocked.
The wedding procession was due in half an hour, yet Chao Lian was still wearing her everyday clothes, her hair undone, with tears staining her face.
Looking at Chao Lian, where was the slightest appearance of a bride?
Chao Lian turned out her clothing, but each piece was patched, the colors grey or green, all unsuitable for a wedding.
With such tattered clothes, she was too ashamed to marry Sun Erhu.
"It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have trusted Lin Xiaobao, I shouldn’t have let him into my room," Chao Lian sobbed, feeling wronged.
Lin Xiaobao had knocked on the door this morning. Thinking a child would mean no harm, she let him in.
But as soon as Lin Xiaobao entered, he snatched her clothes and jewelry and ran.
She chased after him only to run into Jiang’s Clan and Lin Dabao siding against her, leaving her unable to protect anything.
Erhu’s silver was earned from bear hunting. He didn’t tell her about that night, but she knew it must have been perilous. It could be said that it was exchanged with his life!
"My mother made me a wedding dress; it doesn’t have a single flower embroidered on it, but if you don’t mind, I’ll go home and bring it here," the girl suddenly remembered the wedding gown pressed at the bottom of the chest. She didn’t need it right now anyway.
Chao Lian shook her head, "No, if you give it to me, what would you wear when you get married?"
"Don’t worry about that now. You can make it up to her with an even more beautiful one later. Go and get the dress, and I’ll get the jewelry from Lin Xiaobao. Chao Lian, clean up yourself in the meantime."
"Forget the jewelry; we might not have enough time. Anyway, once the bridal veil is on, no one will see anything," said the girl, already at the door, turning back to speak.
Or maybe find a few pieces of jewelry from the dowry to make do; otherwise, a delay could be disastrous.
"Once Chao Lian is out the door, the jewelry will be even harder to retrieve. It contains a piece of Erhu’s true heart; they absolutely can’t profit from us for nothing!" Qiao Duo’er clenched her fist and declared.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Chao Lian had already rushed out.
The girl shouted in panic, "It’s over; she’s got scissors in her hand!"
All Qiao Duo’er wanted to say was, "Well done!"
If you don’t erupt in silence, you perish in silence. Chao Lian clearly chose the former.
"Don’t worry; if the dress is burned, we can only make do with yours. Hurry back," she advised.
The girl still went to fetch the wedding gown, while Qiao Duo’er went to see what Chao Lian was doing.
An outburst was a good thing, but it would be terrible if it led to a fatality.
In the main room, Chao Lian, scissors in hand, pointed at Lin Xiaobao’s neck.
Jiang’s Clan was so anxious she was hopping mad, "Lin Jinshun, just look at your good daughter. We’re about to head out, and she’s causing unrest at home!"
"Are you crazy? How could you kill your brother?" Lin Jinshun was furious.
If word got out that his daughter was threatening his son with scissors, how could he face anyone in Big Willow Village?
With eyes red, Lin Qiaolian retorted, "He’s trying to kill me, so why can’t I kill him? I’ll tell you this: even if I have to go to Hell, I won’t go alone!"
If Lin Xiaobao accompanied her, even in death, she wouldn’t have died unjustly!
"Do you still have your father in your heart? Do you still care about our family at all? Put down the scissors immediately!"
Lin Jinshun raised his voice, convinced anyway that Chao Lian wouldn’t really kill anyone.
