Chapter 132 Some people don't even know how to be a decent human being, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl.

Lord Su squinted at the two people in the corner and asked the clerk beside him, "What kind of person is the village chief of this village?"

“Uncle Zhou is the fairest and most caring village chief in our village.” Lin Wenqian, who was engrossed in his studies, answered first when he heard Lord Su’s question.

"Oh, you said your village chief is the most just? I have a feeling he's doing something shameful?" Lord Su thought he was trying to trick Lin Wenqian after hearing him praise him.

"I guess our village chief borrowed money from my second sister yesterday and is discussing with her when to pay it back..." Lin Wenqian still believed that Lin Zhousheng had nothing to hide.

Besides, since it's something that can't be shown to others, why would he tell his sister?

"That's true." Lord Su's face showed a look of sudden realization.

He had heard about Lin Dayou, Lin Zhousheng, and Lin Luoxi going to the yamen to buy land yesterday, and now that Lin Wenqian explained it this way, it seemed to make sense.

Lin Luoxi also noticed that Lord Su kept looking this way, so she immediately stopped Lin Zhousheng from saying what he was about to say and pulled him back.

Breakfast was finally prepared thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of the constables and yamen runners.

"Miss Lin, your family's food is so delicious." Even though it was just simple porridge with some dried radish, it was very appetizing and delicious. I couldn't resist and ate until I was stuffed.

"I'm glad you like the food. We were worried we hadn't treated you well enough." Lin Luoxi found it amusing to see that Lord Su was heavily pregnant, looking like a woman.

This porridge is no ordinary porridge; it's made with pork ribs that have been raised in the space for a period of time. Naturally, the taste is incomparable to any porridge made outside—it's incredibly delicious.

"This porridge is so delicious, it's the best we've ever had." Mu Qing rubbed her full stomach with her right hand and supported Lord Su with her left.

Judging from their interactions and the strange similarities between them, one can guess that their relationship is not simple.

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's get to work!" Seeing that the sun had risen above the hilltop, Lord Su readily waved his hand, signaling his men to begin their work.

The villagers, who had been waiting outside for good news, all looked at the Lin family with gossipy expressions when they saw Lord Su finally emerge with the constables.

Strange, they've been inside for so long, why aren't those officials escorting Lin Dayou and the others out? Instead, it's that person called "sir" walking alongside Lin Luoxi and the others.

What exactly is going on? Could it be that Lin Dayou's family has a close relationship with Lord Su?

Standing at the back of the crowd, the Lin family members, who wanted to see Lin Dayou's family suffer and take advantage of the situation after they were arrested, looked at the large procession with inscrutable expressions.

"Damn it, why didn't we arrest that ingrate Lin Dayou?" Lin Daguang gritted his teeth and cursed as he looked at Lin Dayou and his group in the distance, enduring the pain in his body.

My Lin Dayou is cursed by heaven. I don't know what possessed him, but he was determined to sever ties with them, causing them to suffer so much now.

"Don't rush, look at them, it seems like they're doing something?" Because of the distance, Old Man Lin had to squint to watch Lin Dayou and the others who were getting busy.

As Old Man Lin stared in the direction Lin Luoxi and the others were heading, the curious villagers around him began to rush towards the direction Lin Dayou and the others had gone.

"Dad, let's go, let's go and see too." Lin Daguang was unwilling to give up. Seeing that the surrounding villagers had already surrounded Lin Dayou and the others, he also pulled his old father and followed them with a limp.

The plump aunt who had been mercilessly rebuked by Lin Luoxi earlier happened to be with Lin Daguang. Seeing Lin Daguang's resentful gaze towards Lin Dayou, she was secretly overjoyed.

He leaned closer to Lin Daguang and said, "Look, sir, Lin Dayou has become successful now. He even has money to buy land."

"Look, even the officials from the yamen have come to help measure the land. It's clear that the land they bought is quite large. If you drive this desirable land out of your home, you'll regret it."

"Don't talk nonsense, Auntie Fatty. I think it's because Lin Dayou and his family broke the law that the authorities came to arrest them." He glared at the self-righteous Auntie Fatty with dissatisfaction.

Even now, Lin Daguang is still deceiving himself, believing from beginning to end that it was Lin Dayou's family who were unlucky, and refusing to admit that Lin Dayou became successful after severing ties with them.

"Whether I'm lying or not, we'll find out soon. And Lin Dayou is really lucky. How come he started getting better as soon as he cut ties with your family? It's obvious that your family is his nemesis."

The plump aunt originally wanted to come and join the Lin family in gossiping about Lin Dayou, but when she saw Lin Daguang glaring at her with those eyes, it was clear that he looked down on her.

In an instant, her temper flared up, and she retorted with sharp words.

"You, you... Auntie Fat, you're so old, can't you even speak properly?" Old Man Lin glared at Auntie Fat with great dissatisfaction upon hearing her words.

"I'm not good at speaking, but some people don't even know how to be human. They mistake fish eyes for pearls, isn't that even more pathetic?"

Seeing that Lin Jiyong and his son Lin Daguang were both the same, the plump auntie simply said this and wiggled her big, basket-sized buttocks as she walked away.

"Pah! What a piece of trash! All he does all day is gossip and spread rumors. Doesn't he care about his tongue getting rotten?"

The father and son, humiliated by the fat aunt, couldn't actually confront her. They could only spit at her back to vent their anger.

Some of the slower walkers overheard the conversation between Aunt Pang and the Lin family. They first stepped aside, glanced at the Lin father and son a few times, and then quickly headed towards where Lin Dayou and the others were.

As they approached, they indeed saw the officials from the government office busy with measuring tapes and other similar items.

Only after witnessing the truth with their own eyes did everyone truly believe that Lin Dayou had really become successful.

"Damn it, how did he get so lucky and become rich..." Lin Daguang said through gritted teeth as he saw Lin Dayou bustling around with the officials, beaming with joy.

God is truly unfair. How can someone as unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial as Lin Dayou get rich? God is blind.

"Facts have shown that as long as you are diligent, hardworking, and willing to work hard, you can get rich, not someone like you who is idle, lazy, and likes to steal."

As Lin Jiyong and his son Lin Daguang approached, Lin Luoxi noticed their intensely malicious gazes fixed on them. Upon seeing them, she quickly walked over.
