The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 140: Making Trouble in Town

Then, two young men about 15 or 16 in ragged clothes saw Lin Yuelan, and they commented to each other, “Brother, isn’t that the girl who came to sell the tiger last time? I heard that she got 380 taels of silver from it. With so much money, her family won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the slightly older brother smacked his head and said sternly, “Stop what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, everyone in the Lin family Village said that she’s a jinx. Whoever marries her will have to die, and she’ll also implicate her husband’s entire family. So you better get rid of that idea. You may want to die, but I don’t.”

The two brothers were both poor, and they were at marrying age. However, none of the girls in the town wanted to marry them because they were too poor. Therefore, when they saw Lin Yuelan got 380 taels of silver for selling the tiger, their eyes lit up. They looked at each other and immediately had an idea. They would get close to Lin Yuelan and try to marry her. But Lin Yuelan disappeared in the blink of an eye that day.

They had been wandering around the town since then, hoping to have a chance to see her again so that they could carry out their plan.

However, when they were hanging about in town, they found out that Lin Yuelan was Lin Family Village’s famous jinx.

They immediately gave up.

What was the point of money if they were going to die?

The younger brother, who was being lectured, immediately shuddered and shook his head. “No, no, I definitely won’t have such thoughts.”

“Hmph, that’s right.” The older brother said disdainfully, “no matter how poor we are, we can’t marry a jinx and bring disaster into our family.”

“Yes, yes, brother is right!” The younger brother nodded in response.

A young man and woman stood under the shade of a tree, dressed in bright green. The woman pointed at Lin Yuelan and said in a soft voice, “young master, do you know that young lady?”

“No. What about her?” The young master asked out of curiosity.

“Hehe, I heard that at such a young age, a Taoist priest said that she’d bring tragedy to her husband and his family,” The woman said with a gloating expression.

“Oh,” the young master said even more curiously, “Is that true?”

“Yeah,” The woman chimed in, “I heard that she is from the Lin family Village. Three years ago, she cut off all ties with her family. I also heard from the villagers that anyone who gets close or helps her would be jinxed. It’s very uncanny.”

The young master asked suspiciously, “Luniang, is there really such a thing?”

“Yes.” Luniang said with certainty, “young master, I heard that three years ago, there was a scholar from the Lin family Village called Lin... Lin Mingqing. He is the youngest son of the Lin family Village chief. Three years ago, he helped her. In the end, when he went to the prefecture capital to take the exam, the carriage overturned. As a result, he was paralyzed. He thus had his title revoked. What a pity.”

“Yeah, it’s a pity.” The young man sighed as well, but his eyes followed Lin Yuelan.

When little twelve heard this, he stopped listening. By then, he was very angry.

Miss Lin had been abandoned by her family because of her reputation. It was similar to his boss.

His boss was abandoned by his father because he was deemed to be a jinx too.

How could there be such cruel parents in the world?

Little twelve was so angry that he didn’t notice the continuation of the scene under the tree.

After a short while, another young master walked over and patted his shoulder. He asked curiously, “Brother Zhou, what are you looking at?”

Zhou Wencai put away his folding fan and smacked it on his palm. He said, “I heard from Luniang that the girl who came to town to sell the tiger two months ago is actually the Lin family Village’s famous jinx. What a pity. Oh, by the way, brother Liu, didn’t miss Yin ‘Er come with you?”
