Chapter 1640: The Current Situation of Lin Family Village

Translator: Lonelytree

But now, Lin Yiwei was no longer the village chief. Not to mention making mistakes, he couldn’t even get any benefits from Taoyuan Village.

If that was the case, they could only watch helplessly as the other villages became richer and richer, while they, who had the princess as their neighbour in the past, became worse and worse.

In fact, some of the Lin Family villagers were already secretly regretting how they treated Lin Yuelan back then.

But there was no medicine for regret in this world.

“Village chief, you…You can’t just abandon us villagers!” Someone quickly reacted.

Lin Yiwei looked at Chong Lin and snorted.” Hmph, Chong Lin, don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. You clearly knew that Lin Changzhi and the others went to the capital to sue the princess, so why didn’t you come and tell me?”

“I…I…” Lin Yiwei’s cold and stern question was impossible to answer.

Actually, he had wanted to go to the capital as well. After all, not only would he be rich, but he might also be able to drag Lin Yuelan down. At that time, he might be able to get a share of Lin Yuelan’s huge wealth.

However, after his mother learned of this news, she threatened him with death and forbade him from going to the capital.

“Chong ‘Er, do you still not understand?” We can’t defeat Lin Yuelan at all. Going to the capital is equivalent to seeking death! Therefore, even if I have to die, 1 will stop you! I don’t want you to lose your life!”

He was very glad that his mother had stopped him.

Otherwise, he might not be able to go home and be thrown into a ma.s.s grave in a foreign land.

However, although he was stopped by his mother, he did not report it to the chief.

They still had hope in their hearts that Lin Laosan and his gang could really sue Lin Yuelan. At that time, he would also be able to get a share of the profits.

However, G.o.d’s plan was really better than man’s!

No one would have thought that a single bolt of lightning would send these people to the eighteenth level of h.e.l.l, never to return.

Chong Lin felt both fear and relief.

Chong Lin’s expression was not good, but he could not refuse the chief’s question.

He smiled stiffly and said,” That… Um, village chief, l… I didn’t know that they went to the capital to sue Lin… Princess Guguo.”

Of course, Lin Yiwei did not believe what he said. His face was dark as he questioned sternly,” Then, you should know about them going to the capital, right? Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Chong Lin couldn’t hide his expression anymore.

He said aggrievedly,” I thought they went to the capital because of private matters, so I didn’t tell you!’

Lin Yiwei sneered.” Hehe, personal matters? What important private matter did they need to go to the capital for? And with their conditions, do you think they can walk to the capital? Ignore Lin Laosan’s and Gu Sanniangs families. After all, they have already left the Lin Family Village. Whether they are good or bad, we can’t control them.

“But Lin Changzhi and the others are from Lin Family Village. Going to the capital is such a big matter, but they didn’t report it to me. They don’t even have me in their eyes. There’s also Lin Chong. He didn’t report it, so he also doesn’t have me in his eyes.

“Since everyone doesn’t take me seriously, then there’s no point in me being the village chief. Then 1 won’t be a village chief. How good would it be to be an honest farmer instead?”

When Lin Yiwei said this, many people felt ashamed.

In the past, they had been dissatisfied with Lin Yiwei, the village chief, because he had been too biased towards Lin Yuelan.

With his status and position, he could have taken Lin Yuelan’s wealth and land and distributed it to everyone. With Lin Yuelan’s huge wealth, every family in Lin Family Village could get at least ten to twenty mu of land and a thousand taels of silver. Such a huge amount of wealth could allow them to live a good life for a few lifetimes.

However, Lin Yiwei refused to do so.

But now that they thought about it, his decision was correct.

Fortunately, they didn’t rob Lin Yuelan of her a.s.sets. Otherwise, with Lin Yuelan’s sudden rise and becoming a princess with immense power, it would be easy for her to take back her a.s.sets. She might even take revenge on the entire village. It was hard to say whether Lin Family Village could be preserved or whether they could survive..
