The kang (heated brick bed) for left-behind women

Lin Dachun's act of standing up for Lin Yali has offended some people.

Lin Dachun is neither a village cadre nor the village head, nor is he a senior elder in Linjiatun. This move has made many people in Linjiatun unhappy.

"Is there something going on between Lin Dachun and Lin Yali? Otherwise, why would they be so protective of her son?"

"They can't even keep themselves clean, yet they're meddling in other people's rules!"

As for the Sun family and their relatives, they were even more resentful because they did not get to see Lin Liang burned by the "sky lantern" to "release their hatred".

"He's such a good guy! Showing off his abilities! Peach Blossom's reputation is ruined, but he gets a good one!"

What's even more suffocating is that, taking advantage of this opportunity, the gossip about Lin Dachun and Li Ruoxue has resurfaced and become even more rampant.

Previously, it was just speculation in secret, but now it's becoming increasingly blatant:

"Tsk tsk, look at how Lin Dachun acted the other day, did he really think the forest farm was his own home? What makes him think he can?"

"An old widower and a widow, who knows what they do behind closed doors? And you have the nerve to criticize others?"

"Maybe he has something to hide, which is why he can't stand seeing others use 'rules'!"

These words, like invisible poisonous thorns, seeped into Lin Dachun's ears through the whispers by the well and the winks in the fields.

Lin Yali was already on the verge of collapse because of her son's situation, and now she is even more confined to her home. She feels like she has become a plague and a laughing stock in the whole village, and even Lin Dachun, the only person who spoke up for her, has been criticized. She feels both guilty and afraid.

"Dachun, I have to thank you for this, but I'm afraid Lin Liang won't be able to stay in the village."

three days later.

Lin Yali brought Lin Liang over to say goodbye.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Da asked.

"These past few days at home, neighbors, villagers, and the Sun family have been coming to curse me every day. Some people even threatened to burn my son alive, saying he's a disgrace to Linjiatun. My child, I can't stay here any longer," Lin Yali said, her face flushed.

"Uncle Lin, thank you for standing up for me. I've thought it over, and I have to leave. It's not that I'm afraid of them, but my family has no one, no money, and no power. After my father died, I was bullied by the villagers my whole life. I want to go west and try my luck elsewhere," Lin Liang replied.

"What about Sun Taohua?" Lin Dachun asked immediately.

Lin Liang lowered his head.

"It's not that I don't want to marry her, but the Sun family doesn't agree, and besides, I don't have the ability."

"Then Sun Taohua is going to be in trouble if you leave. If you can't marry her, why did you sleep with her?" Lin Dachun's temper flared up as well.

"I... I acted impulsively." Lin Liang was filled with remorse at this moment.

"Why!!"

Lin Dachun sighed.

Lin Liang's grandfather and his father were cousins, and Lin Dachun couldn't ignore that.

"Go ahead, I'll clean up this mess." Lin Dachun was also helpless.

Lin Liang left his hometown.

Lin Yali had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Lin Dachun.

After the two left, Li Ruoxue still had some complaints.

"That Lin Liang, he slept with her and then just walked away?" Li Ruoxue said, pouting.

"It's not that they don't want to marry, they just have no other choice," Lin Dachun replied.

Lin Liang was practically his nephew.

"It was originally their business, but now the villagers are gossiping about us." Li Ruoxue was very unhappy.

"They're just gossiping. Ignore them. Once we make money from sea buckthorn, they'll shut up," Lin Dachun said.

The reason Lin Liang and Sun Taohua are like this is because Lin Yali's family is poor and she is a widow, so she is looked down upon.

"Well, I'm not afraid of them. Let them say what they want," Li Ruoxue said. "Anyway, I support you on this matter. It's their own choice to be in a relationship. To throw them out like that is just too reckless."

"That's how it used to be. There were many bad habits, and some were even worse," Lin Dachun said.
