"Widow Ma, are you unwilling?" Hu Wan'er looked at the other woman with a smile. A few days ago in this very place, the other woman was also very aggressive. Now the tables have turned, and she has no intention of leaving the other woman any room for maneuver.

“Master,” Ma Mingli knew what this contract represented. It was different from what she had expected. She didn’t want to have to make a living under Hu Wan’er in the future, especially since she had offended her so badly before.

“I think Madam is right. This way you can be by my side legitimately,” Lin Dali said. Having just acquired a beautiful concubine, and considering what Hu Wan’er had said before, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with Ma Mingli’s status as a widow. “If you are unwilling, I will not force you. I will give you some money and you can choose another husband.”

"This won't do, Master Lin." At that moment, a member of the Ma family burst in from outside.

They were originally villagers from the surrounding area, and usually lived by renting the Lin family's paddy fields. They had finally managed to climb up to the Lin family's land, and they couldn't let this path be cut off.

"That's right, Mr. Lin, my sister has already followed you. If you don't take her back now, how will she live in the future?" the eldest brother of the Lin family said anxiously. They hadn't received the benefits that his sister had promised when she came home, and they couldn't let the gossips fly away.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Old Ma was almost startled by her daughter. If she weren't her own daughter, she would have kicked her. Dressing up as a ghost in broad daylight to scare people, doesn't she know that scaring people to death?

The Ma family also noticed Ma Mingli's current appearance and were quite shocked, wondering what she was up to this time.
Could it be that Master Lin has a taste for this? That's incredibly inhumane.

When Ma Mingli saw her family, she felt wronged, but also felt that she had someone to rely on. "Mother, I don't want to sell myself into being a concubine."

"How did you sell yourself? Didn't I tell you to stay at your house first, and wait until..." Old Ma suddenly stopped talking. Some things they could talk about in private at home, but this matter could not be publicized, after all, they also cared about their reputation.

“Your daughter has no status or identity with my master,” Hu Wan’er looked at them with a mocking smile. “If her husband’s family still had members, she should be drowned. Does your Ma family want to make marriage difficult for the entire family because of her?”
"I've finally managed to generously give her this opportunity to enter the Lin family. If you're not willing, you can take her away right now."

At this moment, Ma's mother and the others noticed that the entire main hall was now full of people. They had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help but shrink into a ball in fright.

"If you don't sign this contract today, then you can leave, and you're never allowed to step into the Lin family's door again."

Hu Wan'er took a strong medicine; she really had no intention of letting Widow Ma go. Wasn't this person trying every means to get the Lin family? Then let her see what it felt like to see something but not be able to have it.
"Daughter, what's going on?" Old Ma was anxious and, disregarding the fact that Ma Mingli's current attire was somewhat intimidating, quickly grabbed her hand and asked.

"It's hard to explain in a short time, but things are very different from what I expected. Didn't I tell you to have your cousin and the others block Mrs. Lin? Why did you let her come back?"

"Stop talking. Your cousin and the others came back and just gave us a good scolding. They said you messed with the wrong people and almost dragged them down with you. If they hadn't run away quickly today, they would have lost their lives there."

"What have you been doing? Don't you know your cousin and his family work for Master Xu next door? If their carriage breaks down, their whole family will be ruined."

Old Ma also had a lot of complaints; this idiot almost dragged his own family down with him.

If she hadn't said some nice things and given her a few taels of silver, the matter wouldn't have been over; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to go back to her parents' home.

"Let's not talk about this now. Anyway, I won't sign this contract of servitude. Otherwise, my life and death will be decided by that woman, not to mention she can ask our family for benefits." Ma Mingli knew her family's weakness and said directly.

"That won't do. I'm counting on you to make arrangements for your brothers. How about you give each of them at least a few dozen acres of land?"

"Let's not talk about this now. Let's get through this first. If it really doesn't work, you can pretend to faint and we'll run away first. I'll deal with Lin Dali properly later."

The Ma family members behind them vaguely heard this, and at the same time they all looked at Ma Mingli with disappointment, thinking that she couldn't even handle an old man, and that it was a wonder that so many people fawned over her every time she went back.

Old Ma really did cover her head, pretending to faint. Madam Lin looked at the old woman beside her, who nodded slightly and slowly approached the Ma family.

"Hey you peasant woman, what are you doing covering your head? Are you dizzy?" The old woman brandished the large iron needle from the sole of her shoe, which was gleaming. "Don't worry about being dizzy, I'll prick you with this, and I guarantee you'll wake up immediately."

Gu Xingyang laughed wildly, "Hahaha, Mother, did you see that? It's so funny! It's just like what I saw in a movie before. Do you think Madam Lin is a time traveler?"

Bai Suihe was a little doubtful after hearing what she said. This was definitely a reborn female protagonist, right? This was simply outrageous.

"Baby, can you tell if she's been reborn?"

Gu Xingyang chuckled, "Mother, I was just saying. This is an exceptional case. How could others have such an opportunity?"

Don't worry, she's the real deal. She's just figured things out and her IQ is back online.

You have to understand that few women are simple, otherwise men wouldn't go to such lengths to shackle them.

"Preserve heavenly principles, eliminate human desires, adhere to the three obediences and four virtues..." and so on. These damned feudal dregs are actually just a manifestation of selfishness in men...

Bai Suihe quickly patted Gu Xingyang's head, "Alright, you little brat, don't be so extreme. There are some things we can't fight against, but we can change them with our own abilities. Let's get stronger together in the future."

Gu Xingyang nodded her little head. "Yes, Mother, we need to become stronger. I don't want to be persecuted by these feudal dregs anymore. Who says women are inferior to men? In later generations, many men can't even support their families and end up relying on women. Only they have the nerve to act like heads of the household."

Bai Suihe then realized the seriousness of the problem, "Baby, how do you know so much?"

Gu Xingyang once said that he had always been by her side, so how did she know that she rarely checked these kinds of messages?

Gu Xingyang, "Of course I saw it myself. There are so many people like that. In the house where my mother lives, many families in the whole building are arguing over this or that..." (End of this chapter)
