Chapter 41.1 – Jiang Zhen comes to take the wife by force
That day, the Li family came here with the idea of forcing a marriage. Li Zugen took his children to live in the house of the Zhao family. This way, even if Zhao Jinge didn't want to marry him, he would have to! If the Zhao family beat someone up . . . or if the people of the Zhao family hurt someone, it would be the Zhao family's fault. They could then catch them and ask for compensation. If the Zhao family couldn't pay the compensation, wouldn't they have to make Zhao Jinge compensate them?
It was an indisputable truth that evil thoughts originated from poverty. Because people were poor, they would do anything, even losing their collective face. This time, the Li family were going to lose their face.
Every family in Hexi had a fairly good life, so to them, the behavior of the Li family was a bit shameless. But although they were shameless, Zhao Jinge really couldn't find a better match than this Li family. Moreover, the Li family came to them every day, so even if they didn't have anything else, they were, at least, sincere. They thought that they really wanted Zhao Jinge to marry in. What's more, the two families had been connected by an engagement in the past.
People in the countryside always believed in persuasion and refused to consider minor points. When they saw the four children without a mother, the people in Hexi tried to persuade Zhao Jinge to agree.
For a ger like Zhao Jinge, who was manly and was already so old, even if he got married at this point, it wasn't certain that he could have children, so it was not a bad idea to pick up children that were already there . . .
Yes, just like what Matchmaker He once said, Zhao Jinge might not be able to have a baby. There were many people in Hexi who thought the same way.
Although digging out one's cinnabar mole did not affect fertility, in regards to Zhao Jinge . . . it was more difficult for a ger to have a child than a woman. But he didn't even look like a typical ger. At first glance, one would assume he was clearly a man . . . Could he really have a baby?
"Jinge, these children have been crying for such a long time. Take them in to wash their faces first."
"I have something to say."
"I think this Li Zugen is very sincere."
. . .
The people in the village all advised Zhao Jinge, and Li Zugen said, "Jinge, I used to be too stupid, I didn't know your good points. I will change. I will treat you well in the future."
With that said, when Li Zugen looked at Zhao Jinge, he still couldn't hide his unhappiness, shifting his eyes evasively.
"Mother . . ." two of the four children called again, but only the two of them were sincere. Xue had been living in the landlord's house for several years. They hadn't seen their mother since they were young, so they didn't have a deep impression of her. Recently, their grandmother said that they could have a good life after they called back their mother, so they were very enthusiastic in recognizing their new mother.
Before, Zhao Jinge would have definitely pulled the two children off him and clearly stated that he was not their mother, but now . . . watching Jiang Zhen approach, Zhao Jinge couldn't recover in time.
Li Zugen, seeing that Jinge was not as unyielding as before, only thought he had finally softened up. He knew that someone like Zhao Jinge, who couldn't get married and was so old and ugly, would like anyone who was nice to him and would definitely not refuse him . . .
"Jinge . . ." Li Zugen was going to grab Zhao Jinge's hand again, but before he could do so, his hand suddenly started hurting, as if his bones had been broken. "Ah!" Li Zugen cradled his hand and screamed, wondering what happened.
