127 Caught the Village Chief’s Eyes
Xiao Qing didn’t know what the Lin family was thinking, so he bowed to the village chief and Li Huaiyu again.
“Thank you village chief, thank you Brother Li.”
Based on seniority, he should actually call Li Huaiyu “Uncle Li”. However, Li Huaiyu was only a few years older than him. If he were to call him that, not only would he feel embarrassed, but Li Huaiyu would also probably not be happy to hear it.
Sure enough, after Li Huaiyu smiled and nodded at him.
Xiao Qing’s heart was at ease.
Then, he turned around and looked at Lin Xiaozhi.
Lin Xiaozhi also quickly came forward and bowed to the village chief and Li Huaiyu.
“Thank you, chief. Thank you, Brother Huaiyu!”
The way the child bowed was actually very proper, as if he was already a well-mannered scholar.
The village chief was very pleased.
Lin Lanhua was annoyed when she saw that they were still chatting as if they did not see her.
However, she could only suppress the anger in her heart and try to find a way to smooth things over.
“Ahem… about the gift, it was indeed my mother’s fault. However, my mother was also thinking that since third sister-in-law’s family is still our family. It’s too formal for an elder to specially prepare a gift when visiting a junior.” Lin Lanhua said.
When Old Madam Lin heard Lin Lanhua say that it’s her fault, she was a little angry. However, when she heard the latter part of the sentence, she calmed down.
Exactly. She was the elder of the Lin family, and coming to see them was giving them face. Wasn’t it too much to prepare a gift?
Lin Xiaoyue snorted.
“Hmph, it’s the host who decides if that’s too formal or not. Since when is it the guests’ decision? According to what you’ve said, we should never give gifts when going to a party, in case the hosts think you’re too formal, right?”
“Hahaha…” Someone in the crowd was amused and laughed.
Soon, many people laughed along.
That’s right, what nonsense was that? They should just admit that they didn’t want to give any gifts, why come with such an excuse?
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Lanhua angrily.
What nonsense was this girl saying, causing an old woman like her to be embarrassed.
Lin Lanhua shuddered, and she immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue. “Xiaoyue, don’t misinterpret my words. Are we just guests to you?”
“Of course not!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and replied.
Seeing Lin Lanhua’s smile, she quickly said, “we have cut off all ties and there was so much conflict between us. Our relationship is much worse than that of a host and a guest.”
The smile on Lin Lanhua’s face immediately froze.
Then, under the mocking eyes of the crowd, a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes.
Damn it! When did this girl become so powerful?
“You better leave quickly. Don’t make me chase you away with a broom.” Lin Xiaoyue said again.
She really wasn’t in the mood to continue the show, as dinner was about to start.
After this is over…
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes looked dangerous.
It was fine when they cut off all ties. At that time, it was also made clear that the two families would go their separate ways after that.
However, they came to her, so she couldn’t be blamed for taking action.
Hmph, did they think that she had wasted her time in the apocalypse? If she wasn’t ruthless, she would have been gnawed to the bone.
“You…” Lin Lanhua looked at Lin Xiaoyue angrily.
“Let’s go,” Deng Shi quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin Lanhua’s sleeve.
It was obvious that there was nothing to be gained, and they would only be further humiliated if they stayed any longer.
Luckily, she didn’t attack her. Otherwise, she would be at a loss too.
