Chapter 220: Improper Thoughts

"Miss Zhou, please open the door. Lord Ding specifically asked us to come and inform Miss Zhou of this matter. Please don't worry anymore," Zhang Lin repeated.

According to Ding Gaochang's instructions, he now needs to make sure that Zhou Daya is fine, and also prevent Zhou Daya from getting hot-headed because of this matter and doing something she shouldn't do.

However, in Zhang Lin's opinion, if he encountered such a thing and was almost forced to take his life, he would definitely be furious. Even if he risked his life, he would make those people regret it for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, the law is the law.

Those villagers who almost forced Zhou Daya to death were wrong, and it was even more despicable that they aided and abetted the evil. However, they were deceived and did not really force Zhou Daya to death. Even if they were punished, it would not be a serious punishment.

If Zhou Daya hurt someone in anger at this time, it would be real injury, which would violate the law and she would be punished.

Ding Gaochang was worried that Zhou Daya would do something stupid, which would not harm others but would ruin his own life, so he specially asked him to come over so that he could have a good meeting with Zhou Daya, talk to her about the matter, and give her some advice.

Although he always believed in revenge, he was not willing to do such things as casually advising others to be magnanimous, which could easily lead to him being struck by lightning.

But Zhou Daya is already a pitiful person. If she loses her life completely because of something that is not worth it in the first place, and leaves behind her only grandmother, then this family will really have no way out.

Zhang Lin couldn't bear it, so he put all his heart into doing this.

After Zhang Lin finished speaking, there was no movement in the room for a long time.

Some people in the yard couldn't wait any longer and shouted, "Daya, please open the door. We know you blame us for this, but we were also deceived by those two people and did such a stupid thing. Please don't blame us for the sake of our friendship."

"Yeah, Daya, don't take it to heart."

"We are indeed sorry for you..."

Zhang Lin frowned when he heard this and shouted, "Are you here to apologize?"

"What are you saying?" Someone stiffened his neck and shouted at Zhang Lin, who spoke in a bad tone, "Of course we are here to apologize."

"You said you came to apologize, but every word you said told the little girl not to blame you. Those who knew you came to apologize would think you were forcing the little girl to do something. Those who didn't know would think you were forcing the little girl to do something."

Zhang Lin said in a dissatisfied tone: "This is the first time I've heard of this way of apologizing. You guys are not here to apologize, you are just feeling guilty and want the girl to forgive you, so that you don't feel burdened and depressed."

"You are not here to apologize, you are just here to get peace of mind!"

In the final analysis, it's nothing but selfishness. For the sake of his own feelings, he didn't think about how other people felt at all. He didn't think about whether Zhou Daya was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, and asked her to forgive him right away. It was so disgusting!

Originally, Zhang Lin felt that the villagers were cunning and scoundrel because they had forced Zhou Daya to become the water ghost's bride. For their own selfish interests, they forced a little girl to give up her life.

Seeing these people rushing to apologize, Zhang Lin thought that they had a change of heart and could change for the better. He never thought that most of them were still selfish! If he hadn't been wearing the clothes of a yamen runner and if he hadn't heard Ding Gaochang's teachings so often, Zhang Lin really wanted to fight with these people.

After being yelled at by Zhang Lin, the villagers' faces suddenly looked a little ugly.

Many people are not unaware of the narrowness of their own minds, but they comfort themselves by saying that they have no choice but to do certain things. As they say these words of comfort, they even take them seriously and believe that it is really the case.

Now that Zhang Lin had torn off this fig leaf, many people felt that they had nowhere to put their faces. They just turned their heads away, not daring to even look at Zhang Lin.

There were a few who came sincerely to apologize, and they were still kneeling silently in the distance. Some even slapped themselves several times, causing their cheeks to become red and swollen.

But regardless of whether these people were sincere or not, Zhang Lin was too lazy to pay attention to them and just said, "Ms. Zhou obviously doesn't want to see you right now. If you really want to apologize, you don't have to act like this. Helping her in the future is better than anything else."

"If you force this little girl and cause trouble, don't blame me for reporting you to Lord Ding and letting him punish you!"

Zhang Lin was originally tall and strong, and he was a serious person with a bad look on his face. The angry look on his face made him look like someone who was not to be trifled with.

The villagers were already worried about going against the county government, and when they heard this, they were also afraid of being held accountable if something went wrong. They looked at each other and walked out of the yard in silence.

Some people sincerely apologized and looked at Zhang Lin, feeling uneasy: "We..."

"I can see that you are sincere, but this is not the right time. It seems like you are forcing a little girl to do something. She already feels bullied because of this. If you continue to do this, won't she feel even worse?"

Zhang Lin advised, "Why don't you go back first and talk slowly later? If Miss Zhou doesn't accept it, you don't have to be too anxious. Otherwise, it will make the little girl feel uncomfortable, and I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable too."

"Just listen to me and go away first."

After thinking for a while, these people nodded and said, "Okay, please tell Daya that we have been here. If you need any help in the future, just come and find us."

"Yes, please tell us something, sir. We will listen to you and leave now."

The remaining people left reluctantly with sad faces.

The courtyard returned to its original quietness. Zhang Linsong took a deep breath and spat on the ground: "What the hell are these? They make me angry."

"That's right. It makes me angry. What kind of people are they? As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Qi He and Qi Shen were able to deceive these people. It turns out that they don't have good intentions!"

The yamen runner beside him echoed.

Zhang Lin nodded, and after calming down, he knocked on the door again: "Miss Zhou, don't worry, there is no one else in the yard, you and your aunt can open the door without worry."

"Lord Ding is very concerned about Miss Zhou, so he specially sent me to see Miss Zhou and give her some advice..."
