Chapter 651 Wonderful dream
With the Village head"s tough stance, Old madam Pei had no other choice, as she turned around and looked at the Lin brothers who despite being outnumbered were still standing tall and haughty as she bowed her head slightly and apologised, " I am sorry, you all can see that I am already so old when I saw that my only son pa.s.sed away, I couldn"t think straight and did something really unforgiving, I really did not wish to do something like that, I just … I was just saddened by the grief of the death of my son."
Her apology was just as sincere as the Lin brothers" att.i.tude of acceptance, they too didn"t want to accept the apology but they had no choice, it was true that Old madam Pei"s son died and how he died, it didn"t matter, he was dead and as long as the dead were mentioned they couldn"t disrespect their family.
But that didn"t mean that they were going to forgive the villagers like that either, Lin Chen coldly swept his gaze at the villagers who were no longer making a fuss and snorted. " Village head Luo, what about our injuries, as you can see it was the villagers who threw the rock at us first, my eldest brother"s head got hurt because of that, you can see that the blood is still dripping from his forehead and my youngest brother already has a limp leg because of the villagers he overly exhausted himself running around for two days he will get a fever yesterday night and now he will get one tonight as well. His medicines aren"t cheap you tell us what should we do now? First, someone from the village burned our fields and refused to pay up like the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d he is, now the villagers attacked us like that, we have so many injuries and my wife was startled as well when stones came flying in our house, you should give us justice, Village head Luo because now the water has reached its peak! You are the village head and they refused to listen to you either if so are we not in grave danger already?"
" No, you are right," said Village head Luo as he pinned the entire group of villagers with a hard stare. " You are absolutely right, I am the Village head but they refused to listen to my orders and did their own thing, they need to be punished. Of course, I will punish everyone who joined in this fun."
The villagers who heard that they will be punished felt all the blood drain from their faces, they just came here to scare the Lin family into leaving the house and going away somewhere else but they didn"t think that they would be punished.f??ℯ??????el. c?m
The group exchanged glances with each other before one of the men stepped forward and said, " Village head on what basis you are punishing us? We were doing what was good for the village and everyone else if the other villagers came to know that our village has a witch they will stop having relations with us."
" Exactly, my son is already in his late teens, he needs to find a wife—— with a witch here how will he find a wife?"
" Old Chao, you first need to worry about how you will stop your son from gambling away your fortune," snapped Lin Yan as he threw the pole he was carrying in his hand on the ground. " Your son doesn"t do anything except gambling day and night, yet he wishes to get married to the missy of a town. With his habits any official won"t even let him have the used shoe of his daughter, forget about them ever letting your son marry their daughter."
" An official"s daughter?" snickered Lin Chen nastily as he swept his gaze at the old walrus-like villager. " Even villagers aren"t ready to give their daughter to your son who loafs around day and night with this or that and sells another set of furniture every day, everyone including the villagers surrounding ours as well the villages surrounding those neighbouring villages also knows about the renowned fame of their son, what are you talking about?"
Old Chao immediately turned red as he looked around the villagers when no one came to his aide, he himself jumped into the battleground and said, " Whatever my son is, at least he isn"t a witch like your wife."
" He is not a man like us as well, have we ever said anything to you before?" shot back Lin Yu. " And what are you all playing the fool for, say it directly na, you all think that we got rich because we took your luck right?"
When no one said anything, Lin Yu snorted as he laughed drily before turning to look at his eldest brother, " Look at this eldest brother, they don"t work as hard as we do, nor do they run around like us but somehow they believe that staying in their fields without taking any risk will get them somewhere, what a wonderful dream."
Lin Yu"s words were like a direct slap to many who came to find trouble with the Lin family as soon as they fell half of the villagers turned red in shame.
" Yeah, a wonderful dream," snorted Lin Jing as he wiped the blood off his face.
" You all only see the success that we have now but have you forgotten how hard we worked and how worse of conditions we lived in before? We are doing good because we know that risks are important, we take them and do what we need to instead of being jealous of others and making a fuss like this," Lin Yan said as he wisely looked at the villagers with an air of someone smarter than them. " My brother got almost mauled to death by a wolf and it was my wife who saved his life, why didn"t no one say anything when she jumped off the cliff and almost broke her ankle permanently? When we are in a bad situation then all of you turn blind but when we are doing good you all are wishing that you can get a chunk of the pie? What kind of world are you living in?"
