C11 Who Dares to Marry Her!

"Oh my gosh, everyone, come quick! My daughter-in-law and her daughter are ganging up on me, this poor old woman... Oh, it hurts so much..."

Hsu Caihua sat on the ground, raising her arms and groaning in pain. Her sudden fall sent the chickens in the yard scattering in a frenzy, turning the place into utter chaos.

It was a quiet time in the village, but the elderly who couldn't work the fields heard Hsu Caihua's cries and couldn't help but privately criticize and mock Faang Xinrann for her actions.

Meanwhile, over at the fields of the first production team in Cloud Platform Village, Faang Jianmin approached his older brother, Faang Dashan, hoping to borrow some money.

Faang Dashan spotted his brother from a distance and immediately guessed that this timid, ineffectual sibling of his was coming to ask for a loan.

The story of Faang Xinrann supposedly rising from the dead had already spread among the workers, each retelling more exaggerated than the last, and Faang Dashan was furious just thinking about it. After all, she had gotten married and still thought about running away with Lee Chang'an. Clearly, she was asking for trouble.

Faang Jianmin knew that his brother had always looked down on him, but after Faang Xinrann was nearly buried alive by Fann Jian, he felt he had to step up as a father, despite his shortcomings. He regretted not borrowing money earlier, even if it meant begging, to prevent Xinrann from falling into such a dire situation.

Initially, Faang Jianmin was against Fann Jian's proposal, but the villagers were gossiping about Xinrann and Lee Chang'an behind their backs. He had intended to support the young couple, but Lee Chang'an's mother, Wang Guifen, disapproved of their family's poverty and refused to consent to the marriage.

With no other options, Faang Jianmin thought that marrying Xinrann off to Fann Jian would settle the debt and ensure she wouldn't suffer from hunger or hardship, so he agreed to the marriage.

Who knew this would be such a mess?

"Hey, can you come over here for a second? I need to talk to you," Faang Jianmin said, his voice soft and almost apologetic.

Faang Dashan, a bit impatient, replied, "What is it? Make it quick, I'm busy."

"Can you lend me some money? I really need it."

"No money, no money. Where would I get money from? I have two sons who aren't even married yet. How could I possibly lend you any?" Faang Dashan waved his hand dismissively and went back to weeding.

His voice was loud enough to catch the attention of a few women nearby, who looked over with mocking expressions.

"Are you trying to borrow money to help your daughter?" one of them, Fong Xia, chimed in. "I wouldn't bother. Once a daughter is married off, she's not your responsibility anymore. And after last night, she's probably already a woman. Plus, she came back from the dead this morning. If you keep her around, who in this area would dare marry her?"

Fong Xia's daughter, Xue, also had her eyes on Lee Chang'an. If it weren't for that fool being so focused on Faang Xinrann, her daughter would have already been with him. Seeing Faang Jianmin beg for money because of his troublesome daughter gave her a sense of satisfaction.

Her words made Faang Jianmin uncomfortable, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Yeah, Jianmin, it's tough for a woman to remarry. The first marriage is always the best. You should talk to Xinrann and convince her to go back to her husband. Staying at her parents' place will only make people laugh. Besides, everyone knows she tried to elope with someone else. It's no wonder her husband got angry and hit her. A husband is like the sky and the earth; once you're married, you have to serve him well. Now she's lost everything, and who wouldn't be upset about that?"
