Chapter 652 Peace restored
Chapter 652 Peace restored
” Tha..that’s because we don’t have a witch in our family!” said one of the villagers but even to him, the words he said sounded like an excuse.” That’s right, the only reason we are still poor is that we are not stealing other people’s good luck or blocking them,” just in one night the villagers have come up with another version of their unsuccessful life, it was as if they wanted to blame the Lin family for them being unsuccessful.
Lin Chen, who listened to their nonsense spat the blood on the ground as he sneered, ” Yeah before Wan Wan came to our village, a lot of your mills and shops were running in the town right?” Then he turned to look at his brothers who were staring at the villagers with the same distaste as he was before he said, ” Didn’t they brother? Oh wait——” he slapped the heel of his palm on his forehead as he looked at the villagers and said, ” But I didn’t see your mills, where were they running? Are they invisible? That’s some new thing, I have never seen an invisible mill why don’t you take me their Old Chao? Old Wei?”
His words caused the words that the villagers had in their throats to choke down as they all embarrassingly looked down at the ground. That’s right even without Su Wan being in the village they were still just as poor or even more so because they didn’t have Su Wan and the Lin family helping them out.
Lin Jing stared at the crowd and threw his club down as he said, ” My brother is asking you all something, where are your mills that shut down after Wan Wan came to the village?”
The villagers of course had nothing to say to this question, so they just lowered their heads and looked at the Village head who snorted and said, ” What are you looking at me? You came here to cause them trouble even when I said that you shouldn’t jump to conclusions and yet you all did what you wanted, now you want me to help you out? Go on tell them where are your mills running, and if they are running then you wouldn’t have any trouble paying them money for the damages you have done, right?”
Village head Luo’s words were met with a lot of eyes popping out as they all looked at the Village head with wild and alarmed eyes. ” Village head what are you saying? Money? Where will we get the money huh?”
” That’s right, Village head Luo, if you want we can apologise to them but we don’t have money to pay them, not even an extra penny.”
” I have three sons and they eat like there is no tomorrow, if I were to fork out money for their treatment, how will I feed my sons?”
” They are already so rich——”
” They can pay for their treatment, Village head Luo..”
Listening to the words of the villagers, Village head Luo finally understood why the Lin brothers wanted to leave the village as soon as possible. The brothers helped the villagers thought they were just like family but look at the villagers acting like this as if they were the ones who earned the money for the Lin brothers and gave it to them, the more he heard their nonsense the angrier he became, after a while, he couldn’t hear anymore and shouted, ” So what if they are rich? Their money has nothing to do with you all, do you mean to say that you all will keep on doing what you want and that they should keep giving into you all? The point here is not whether they are capable of treating themselves or not, the point is that you all have done something wrong and you need to pay for it. Do you think that you can get away with just an apology after you have broken someone’s head, are you all stupid?”
” But we are hurt as well!”
” You are hurt because of your stupidity,” Village head Luo shot back mercilessly. ” That’s the only reason that you all are beaten up like that, I already told you that you shouldn’t do anything stupid but you did, did you expect that you will throw stones at someone’s house and they will silently accept it huh? Are you out of your mind or what?”
” Village head Luo—-“
” Enough, I don have time for this, there is an official waiting for a sincere apology and as the head of this village, I will have to give it to him,” After that, he refused to listen to anything the villagers had to say and straight up announced. ” Listen up you all, I will give you three days to come up with at least five hundred cents and pay the Lin brothers, be glad that I am not as biased as you all think or with the number of injuries you have inflicted on them even a silver tael would have been less!”
Once he was done announcing the punishment, he turned to the Lin brothers and bowed, ” I am sorry about this, I should have reined better at them.”
”It’s all right, Village head Luo.”
” You don’t have to do this, Village head Luo,” said Lin Jing as he helped the Village head up and straightened him up. ” It wasn’t your fault.”
Village head Luo patted Lin Jing’s shoulder as he turned around and looked at Old madam Pei and said, “Let’s go, we need to clear up the drama that your son has created before dying. He was a pain in my nose when he was alive and even when he died he left me embarrassed in front of others.”
Old madam Pei said nothing and silently followed after the Village head Luo as he climbed down the cliff, one by one the villagers too left. They were afraid that if they stayed, they would be once again beaten by the Lin brothers, so they hurriedly climbed down the cliff again and finally, the peace that was disrupted was restored.”
