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

"Da Chun, don't go."

As Lin Dachun was about to leave, Lin Yali hugged him tightly from behind.

"I'm so tired and lonely all by myself."

Lin Yali's words came from the bottom of her heart.

She was a widow who raised her son alone. The son was still young and caused trouble, making Lin Yali really, really need a man.

Lin Dachun turned around and said, "Yali, you're being ridiculous. You're from the Lin family. What's our relationship? How could this be?"

"What relationship do we have? I'm not afraid of what others will say," Lin Yali replied.

"Lin Bo specifically came to me and said that I cannot do anything that would bring shame to the Lin clan," Lin Dachun said truthfully.

"Let's keep it a secret, let's meet secretly, okay? I don't need anything, I'm happy as long as you're physically pleased. I've heard the rumors about you, they say they're true, right? I really want that." Lin Yali's eyes became hazy, showing a completely different kind of hazy expression.

That feeling was like the submissive demeanor in Japanese romance films.

At this moment, Lin Dachun was somewhat unable to resist.

But reason prevailed over desire.

Lin Dachun, thinking of Li Ruoxue at home, immediately pushed Lin Yali away and said, "We can help each other with difficulties in life, but not in other ways. I'm leaving now."

Over the next few days, Lin Dachun and Li Ruoxue were busy with spring plowing and planting on the mountain.

They planted the grain and crops, and irrigated and cared for them properly.

At the same time, he also took care of the sea buckthorn, jujube trees, and lambs. When he had free time, Lin Dachun would also fertilize the epimedium in front of the yard and pour some of Li Ruoxue's urine on it.

They grow very quickly and are very strong.

this day.

Lin Dachun and Li Ruoxue were talking about the effects of Epimedium in front of the courtyard when the postman delivered a letter.

"Da Chun, your letter."

The postman delivered the letter and then left.

"That's strange, who wrote me a letter?" Lin Dachun wondered.

Although Lin Dachun had never been to school, he could still recognize some common characters.

"It was sent by your mother."

When Lin Dachun saw that the sender was Xu Jing, he felt uneasy.

"My mom?"

"You're not being asked to go back, are you?" Lin Dachun was very worried and immediately opened the letter.

The letter was written in crooked handwriting, and the tone was hurried and desperate.

The letter stated that Li Ruoxue's younger brother, Li Gouzhu, was hanging out with thugs when he robbed and sexually assaulted a woman, leading to her being arrested by the town police station after being raped and reported to the police.

Either pay two hundred dollars to release him, or go to jail.

The Li family has no money, so they must make Lin Dachun pay in advance; otherwise, they will come and take Li Ruoxue away.

Upon seeing this content, Lin Dachun was completely dumbfounded.

"Your mother is practically extorting me!!" Lin Dachun said angrily.

Li Ruoxue lowered her head; there was nothing she could do about having such parents.

"Anyway, I won't go back. I married into the Lin family, so I'm a member of the Lin family." Li Ruoxue made up her mind.

"Often, we have no choice in what we do. Sigh."

Lin Dachun sighed and sat down blankly. The water cellar next to him was only half dug and hadn't been cemented yet.

This cement must have cost a lot of money.

He still doesn't have a solution for this money.

Two hundred yuan!

This is an astronomical sum for a poor farming family.

Even if Lin Dachun sold everything he owned, he still couldn't raise that amount.

"Your parents really treated you like a tool, a cash cow for your younger brother. The dowry was one thing, and now you're a widow. They wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of you; it's truly heartbreaking."

Lin Dachun clutched the letter, not out of anger over the money, but because as parents, they were furious at how his own daughter was being treated!

"I'm not going back anyway, and we won't pay for it. Even if they come, I won't leave." Li Ruoxue made up her mind that she would spend her life seeing Lin Dachun off until the end.

"I can't embarrass you. I'll try to figure out a way." Lin Dachun knew it was urgent, but there was no use in being anxious.

Back inside the cave dwelling, I sat on the kang (heated brick bed).

Lin Dachun pondered. There were a few people he could borrow from right now, but no matter how he borrowed, he definitely couldn't scrape together two hundred yuan; that amount was too large.
