Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1339

By now, the commotion had drawn a crowd outside the house. When the neighbors and villagers heard Aunt Lin's words, they sucked in a sharp breath.

Not giving Mother Lin a chance to refute, Aunt Lin continued, "Since you dislike your daughter so much, I will take her as my own."

She then pulled 50 yuan from her pocket and slammed it onto the table. Mother Lin and Lin Sanlang's eyes instantly lit up at the sight of the money.

Seeing their eager expressions, Aunt Lin said, "You can have this money—but you must agree to transfer Meifeng's name to my family's household register and add her to my husband's name on the Lin family's ancestral book."

At those words, Mother Lin hesitated. Although she had never been particularly fond of her daughter, she had still carried her for nearly ten months and endured the pain of childbirth.

Now, someone was offering to take her away completely. She felt a moment of reluctance.

Seeing his mother waver, Lin Sanlang tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Mother, just agree. She is married now and will follow her husband elsewhere. She won't be of any use to us in the future."

Hearing her son's reasoning, Mother Lin realized he had a point. If Meifeng couldn't contribute to the family anymore, there was no need to keep her.

After she made up her mind, she said, "Alright, I agree."

Lin Meifeng staggered back in shock at her mother's words. Noticing this, Jiang Ziyu quickly reached out to steady her.

Seeing her pale face, he gently squeezed her cold hand and reassured her, "Meifeng, don't be afraid. You still have me and your uncle's family."

Hearing his words and feeling his warmth, Lin Meifeng regained her senses and nodded.

She had always thought her parents were simply biased toward her brothers. But today, she realized her mother had never truly cared for her. She had actually agreed to disown her for just 50 yuan.

Aunt Lin had only meant to test her sister-in-law's limits and make her reflect on her actions. She never expected her to actually agree. Now, looking at Mother Lin in disbelief, she felt a chill run through her spine.

Even a beast would never eat its own cub. Her sister-in-law was worse than a beast!

After a while, Aunt Lin calmed down. She then went to her bedroom to take a piece of paper, an ink pad, and a pen. As a matchmaker, she must be able to read. So, she wrote down an agreement to exchange Lin Meifeng's parentage for 50 yuan.

When she finished writing, she signed her name and pressed her thumbprint on the document. Then, she handed the paper to her sister-in-law and said, "As long as you sign this, you can take the money."

Mother Lin nodded and took the paper. But before she could press her thumbprint, Lin Sanlang stopped her and said, "Aunt, besides the money, we also want the betrothal gifts!"

After Aunt Lin added another paragraph to the agreement, Mother Lin pressed her thumbprint and said, "From today onwards, Lin Meifeng has nothing to do with me and my family. Whether she lives or dies in the future, that will be your family's business!" _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Mother Lin snorted and said, "Sanlang, go find your brothers and tell them to come and get our things!"

Lin Sanlang nodded and said excitedly, "Mother, I will go right away!"

Before leaving, he snatched the money and took away the radio. These were his betrothal gifts and money for the bride price. With these, he was finally able to marry the woman he yearned for. He couldn't let his brothers and sisters-in-law ask for shares.

With Mother Lin waiting there, Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin lost their appetites. The good engagement ceremony was ruined by her. No matter how delicious the dishes were, they would taste like shit with her around!

Inside the bedroom, Lin Meifeng had woken up and was crying. Jiang Ziyu didn't say anything and held her in his embrace. He patted her back gently and let her vent her emotions.

Even with the door closed, they could still hear the argument between Mother Lin and Aunt Lin clearly. He felt uncomfortable even when he heard those words, let alone his wife.

After crying for a while, Lin Meifeng became tired and fell asleep. Even when she was sleeping, she was still frowning.

Reaching out, Jiang Ziyu smoothed out her frown and wiped away the tears hanging on her eyelashes. He held her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I will stay by your side."
