Chapter 180 - [Bonus ]Its Your Karma
" Really ? You were busy harvesting the fields ? Then how come you were able to come here just a month ago to create ruckus at our house ? Are you sure your face doesn"t hurt Zhang Xiaohui ? Or do you have amnesia like the village idiot ? You and your family had kicked my son out of your house without a tael and you didn"t even bothered with whether we lived or died , yet you still have the face to say that now that Lin Ze was injured I should miraculously take out some silver for his treatment? Are you really as forgetful or you are just acting ?"
Even if their skin was thick , Grandma Lin and Madam Zhang "s old face still blushed .
Grandma Lin laughed and waved her hand as if trying push the matter aside " Its all in the past , what"s the point of bringing up the past ? Isn"t your family living well and happy now ? Look at ours we have no one in our family who can? work , if Ah? Ze doesn"t get his treatment on time - How will our family survive through this winter , eh Zhao Lan , my precious Zhao Lan don"t be so heartless , please help your brother in law "
Mother Lin sneered at stood up " What do you mean don"t be heartless ? When brother in law ran back home after leaving my husband who was drowning in the sea , why didn"t I hear you calling him heartless ? Did you or him ever thought about how much my Ah Heng suffered while he was drowning in the sea ? Did you stopped to think how heartbroken I was when I lost my husband and couldn"t see him for the last time ? No , you didn"t ! Instead you told me and my sons to get over with it , you said that as long as one of them lived it was fine . That I should get on with taking Ah Heng "s responsibilities if I wanted to feed my sons " then she turned to look at Madam Zhang who wore an stupefied expression " and you - you say that we are one family , that if Lin Ze is? hurt then? it concerns my family as well . Then what about the time my Ah Yu was hurt ? Your husband is still alive and well but my Ah Yu almost lost his life back then ! If not for Ah Jing and Ah Yan who ran around asking people for money and if not Doctor Gu "s kindness , my Ah Yu wouldn"t be even here . Back then what did you say when my sons asked for their own hard earned money from you ? Oh yes ! You cursed at them , you even went as far as spitting at Ah Chen "s face saying that my Ah Yu was a jinx , an unlucky star and its only right for him to die , with him dead,? your son"s path to becoming an official will be cleared , didn"t you say that ? Now why should I bother when Lin Ze is hurt ? Don"t think that you are the only one who is smart Xiaohui and everyone else are fools ! If you can stand aside watching my son die then I owe you nothing , why should I fork out money for your family ? I will stand idly by the side as well - h.e.l.l , I say that what happened to your family is nothing but karma !"
Grandma Lin who couldn"t withstand listening to anyone bad mouthing her son immediately jumped and pointed at Mother Lin " You are you cursing my son ? How dare you say those words Zhao Lan , you think I won"t set you right ! Is that it ?"
Mother Lin sneered and she too stood in front of the two greedy women? and rolled her sleeves , today if she didn"t pay these two women for all the insults and physical abuse that she suffered under them - then her name wasn"t Zhao Lan ! Mother Lin picked up her shoe and said " I didn"t curse anyone , I said that if you do something wrong then you have to pay for it .. in this life ! Its not my fault that your family acc.u.mulated so much bad karma that it came to bite in your b.u.t.ts !"
Madam Zhang "s face was even more colourful , she never thought that Zhao Lan would bring up the incident from years ago to refuse them . However , she was even more stubborn now that she was here , even if she have to rob - she will be taking away the money with her ! At beginning she just wanted to get a few taels but now she will s.n.a.t.c.h their entire family"s saving , let"s see how Zhao Lan would be able to stop them !
She rolled her sleeves too and was ready to rush inside while she winked at Grandma Lin to stop Zhao Lan .. As long as they s.n.a.t.c.hed the things and hid them somewhere in the mountains , what evidence would Zhao Lan have that they were the ones who s.n.a.t.c.hed her family"s money , anyway it was her fault that she refused to give them money !
However before Madam Zhang could rush inside , Lin Chen who had caught swamp eels from their rice fields returned . He was happily antic.i.p.ating giving these swamp eels to Su Wan and having a great lunch but when he entered his house , he saw two uninvited guests .
" what are you doing here ?" At first he was stupefied not believing what he was seeing but then Lin Chen roared loudly , so loudly that Fang Xiaolin who was leisurely walking up the steep slope , rushed up with the bamboo tub - while the clothes in her tub jostled here and there , Feng Dai " s? unlucky underpants flew out and dropped on the side of the road but Fang Xiaolin who was worried that something serious happened , didn"t pay attention to it and ran up the steep slope and barged inside the Lin house.
When she rushed inside and saw Grandma Lin and Madam Zhang her face changed and she dropped the tub she was holding in her hand right next to the swamp eel basket that Lin Chen dropped " didn"t you two say that you were going back home ? How come you are back here ? " then her gaze fell on Madam Zhang "s rolled up sleeves and Grandma Lin "s fighting stance as if she was preparing to jump at some one ,Fang Xiaolin immediately understood what was happening , she curled her lips mockingly and sneered " Did Aunt Lin refuse to give you money ? So you two decided to rob her off while no one was at home ? Have you gone mad ? Do you think their is no law in the village anymore , are you taking Village head Luo as a wood puppet or something ? Do you think that the Yamen is just for show ? If anyone could just s.n.a.t.c.h? things from someone"s house and get away from it , then why will people work so hard ? They will just start s.n.a.t.c.hing things from the rich , Ah !"
Apart from the swamp eels , Lin Chen even caught two fishes because he was in good mood and wanted to? drink some fish soup . But when he heard Fang Xiaolin? "s words , he angrily slammed the fish in the bucket of swamp eels and snarled " Is she saying the truth , were you trying to s.n.a.t.c.h things from our house ? "
