However, his aunt was not so easy to talk to. She directly said sharply, "Xiao An Zi, just for a woman, and a divorced woman, are you out of your mind?"
"Yes, just like that, how can you be at ease to put the future of your family on his shoulders?"
"Who says so? A good man has aspirations in all directions. For a woman, a broken shoe that has been divorced, I think Xiao An Zi has lost his mind."
...
One after another, a few women jumped up and down, criticizing Lin An and belittling him to their hearts' content. Meanwhile, the men all had solemn expressions on their faces.
This family was big, so there were naturally all kinds of birds. There were those who gloated over Lin An's misfortune, and there were also those who wanted to step on Lin An to get to the top. In any case, there were all kinds of things.
Anyway, it was all the women who came to make a fuss. If it was really outrageous, the men would just scold them and it would be over.
The more the women talked, the more they lost their edge. The Lin family's old master narrowed his eyes and said, "All of you, shut up."
After looking around, he looked at Lin An again and said, "An Zi, we're a family. What do you mean by not splitting up? Don't mention this again."
"Third brother, bringing you An Zi back is just to marry a woman. An Zi likes to marry her, so why are you making such a fuss?"
"Alright, let's go. Let's go."
After the Lin family's great-grandfather spoke, no one made a sound. Some were disdainful, some were indignant, and some were just watching. Of course, there were also some who were worried about this.
Lin An raised his eyes and said, "Grandfather, I actually suggested that we split up. Of course, I thought about it carefully. You--"
Before he could finish, the Lin family's great-grandfather narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao An, don't say anything else. I know what's right and what's wrong. You're the future of the Lin family. The Lin family's burden depends on you to pick."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed. The great-grandfather didn't care at all and directly waved his hand.
"Alright, disperse--"
Then, he sighed and waved at Lin An. "An Zi, come with me--"
Everyone dispersed. Some were angry, some felt that the old master was biased, some were disappointed, some were resentful, some were curious, and some were gloating.
Lin An's mother, who had returned to her room, no longer had any tears left. Lin An's sisters also followed by her side.
"Mom, from what grandpa said, are you really going to let little brother marry that divorced woman?"
"Big sister, what are you talking about? Why would he marry that slut into the Lin family? It would be so embarrassing if it got out. How am I supposed to go out?"
"Second sister is right. Hmph, it's all because of that slut. She seduced my brother and he insisted on marrying her. Bah, look at her status. She's just a broken shoe who got divorced, yet she dares to dream of becoming the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Hmph, I'll beat her to death."
"No, I'm going to look for her now. I want to see what kind of vixen she is. She actually charmed my brother to this extent."
After saying that, she turned around and ran away. Mother Lin was behind her and she shouted, "Xiao Dan, Xiao Dan--"
"Aiya, second brother, aren't you going to look after your sister? Drag her back for me."
...
After receiving the news, Kang Xiaoqiao did not hide it from Kang Daqiao. When she saw the stunned look on Kang Daqiao's face when she heard the news, Kang Xiaoqiao said calmly, "Sister, Big Brother Lin is really bold."
"As far as I know, he is not the child of the Lin family's eldest son. His father, third brother, has built up quite a reputation in the Lin family. The Lin family has eight sons in this generation. Lin An's arrangement is also third. He has two older brothers above him."
"These two older brothers are both in the Lin family's eldest son. Moreover, their official positions are higher than Brother Lin's. However, the Lin family's old master thinks very highly of Brother Lin and wants to groom him to be the successor."
"Now that Brother Lin has proposed to leave the family, that means that the position of successor has been handed over to someone else. Sigh..."
Hearing this, Kang Daqiao's tears fell. Her heart was filled with self-blame. It was all her fault. She was the one who had harmed Brother Lin.
Kang Daqiao cried her heart out. Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her, then the corners of her mouth curled up. "Sister, are you very sad? Very sad?"
"Do you feel that you dragged him down? That you let him fall into such a situation today?"
Kang Daqiao raised her head, her tears streaming down her face. As she shed her tears, she nodded her head.
"Oh... It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Kang Xiaoqiao still had a smile on her face. Then, she gently wiped the tears off Kang Daqiao's face and said, "My silly sister..."
Kang Daqiao didn't understand what was going on and didn't know what kind of expression Kang Xiaoqiao had on her face. Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao shook her head and said, "Hey, you..."
"You were really sold by someone and you even helped him count his money."
"My silly sister, do you really think that Lin An did all of this for you?"
Kang Daqiao looked at her little sister in a daze. Why didn't she understand? She muttered, "Little sister, little sister, what do you mean? Isn't it because of me?"
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her sister's beautiful face and sighed. "Sister, if Lin An is really like this, it's worth it for you to marry him. However--"
"Do you believe it? Sister, the troublemakers will be here soon. And there's more to come. Sister, you have to be mentally prepared."
Kang Daqiao was a little stunned. She didn't understand what her little sister meant, but very quickly, she heard chaotic sounds. It was as if someone was singing a big show at the door, and there were also screams.
Then Aunt Wang ran over, panting. She even forgot to knock on the door. "Not good, not good. Boss, boss, someone, someone is cursing at the door."
By the time the Kang sisters reached the main door, they saw that the door had already been blocked. It was filled with people who were watching the show.
The leaders were two young girls. They saw a slightly chubby middle-aged woman with a pair of small eyes. Her body was like a ball. She stepped on a stool and shouted, "Everyone, come out and see. There's that shameless vixen seducing men."
"A divorced vixen seducing men--"
"Shameless thing, seducing men everywhere in their factory, it's the factory manager's sister."
"Kang Daqiao, get out here, get out here. You have the face to seduce men! Why are you so shameless?"
"Why don't you let us in? I want to catch that vixen, this damned woman, seducing men. Don't you know who she is? Let's see if we can catch her and bring her out, sugar."
"Why do you have the right to stop me? Don't stop me, you -- Aiyo, which damned woman hit me?"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, she covered her face and let out a painful howl.
Everyone automatically took a step back. The woman, who was holding her face in pain, rolled back and forth on the ground, moaning in pain.
