She became foolish after losing a soul and a spirit, mocked by the world.
On her fifteenth birthday, due to an issue with her engagement, her cousin pushed her into a river. This misfortune t...
Chapter 177 Failing to recognize the facts, eagerly seeking criticism.
"Are you here to congratulate them now to cause trouble for Lin Dayou's family, or because you can't stand seeing them doing well...?"
"Or did the old man give you some favor that makes you eagerly seek out a scolding?"
"Knowing full well that Brother Dayou and the old man have long since severed ties, and that this case was personally adjudicated by Lord Su, do you think you're more powerful than Lord Su?"
Now that she had decided to build a good relationship with Lin Luoxi and her family, Madam Lin Yang couldn't stand others popping up from time to time and bothering Lin Luoxi's family.
Moreover, before she married into Wutong Village, Lin Wangshi and she were close friends.
The relationship had cooled down because Lin Wangshi had become timid and submissive. Lin Yangshi was so frustrated and helpless that she stopped interacting with Lin Wangshi much.
"Pah! You scoundrel of the Lin family, you shameless woman, what's with your arrogance..." The fat aunt was scolded by Lin Yangshi and cursed Lin Yangshi in her heart as a lackey of Lin Luoxi's family.
"Look at what you're saying, Yang Meizi. No matter what, it doesn't matter. He's pitiful, but in the end, it was Lin Jiyong and his wife who raised him. How can this relationship be severed so easily by someone else stirring things up? Don't you think so?" As soon as the fat aunt saw Lin Yangshi speak, she immediately got excited and started to make sarcastic remarks to Lin Yangshi.
The main reason was that Lin Yangshi selected all the young men in the village to work at Lin Luoxi's house, but not her own men. Just for this reason, it's no wonder that Aunt Pang hated Lin Yangshi.
Not to mention that Lin Yangshi disliked the fat aunt's troublemaking nature, which made her want to stir things up wherever she went; everyone in the Lin family disliked her.
"Who are you calling instigator? Is your head filled with pig manure? Or do you think you have more power than Lord Su?" Madam Lin Yang wasn't afraid of this Aunt Lin. As long as she was in the right, she wasn't afraid of this unreasonable person who was stirring up trouble.
"Grandma Fatty, the way you're saying this makes it sound like you're standing up for the Lin family, but it's really just your jealousy at work."
"If you had said it openly and honestly, I would have respected you more, but this method is rather despicable."
"He's clearly a troublemaker, unable to bear seeing others do well, yet he insists on standing on the moral high ground to criticize others. Does he think he owns a key-making machine? Let me ask you, are you even qualified?"
Lin Luoxi had seen plenty of people like this. Dealing with them required extreme measures at the right time. Don't give them any face; it's best to eliminate them completely.
As she said this, Lin Luoxi glanced disdainfully at the old women behind the fat aunt who also felt guilty.
Before she was fully conscious, these gossipy women had been spreading rumors about their family behind their backs. Now that they had the chance, how could Lin Luoxi let it go?
"You little slut, don't you have any manners? I'm still your elder..." The plump aunt was so angry at Lin Luoxi's words that her face turned pale and then red, and she almost fainted.
Unable to argue with Lin Luoxi, he could only use his status as an elder to pressure her.
"Elders should act like elders to be worthy of respect. If you have ulterior motives or are morally corrupt, then don't pretend to be an elder in front of me."
"You call yourself a slut on someone else's turf. How good are you? Good manners are for people with good character. You should be grateful that I didn't tear your mouth apart."
He retorted coldly, staring at the fat aunt who was as fat as a pig with eyes that looked at a dead person.
Everyone else is just asking for trouble. If she doesn't teach them a lesson, they'll really think that the Lin family is someone they can trample on at will.
"Lin Dayou, don't you even care about your good-for-nothing son? He has no manners at all. He doesn't know how to respect the elderly or care for the young. No wonder he can't get married." Since she couldn't win an argument with Lin Ruoxi, she turned her anger towards Lin Dayou.
In her opinion, Lin Dayou, the easy target, was much easier to handle than Lin Luoxi, the tough one.
“Auntie Pang, I’m already being very lenient by not hitting you out of respect for your elders. You’re talking about my daughter to my face, which shows you have no manners at all.”
“My daughter is right. Good manners are for those who are well-mannered. Someone like you, who is disrespectful to elders and a troublemaker, is stinker than a rock in a latrine.”
"Get out of my territory while I can still hold back. Otherwise, I'll chase you away with a broom."
The Lin Dayou of today is not the Lin Dayou of the past. Now that the other party has slandered his daughter like this, he will not give them face as he used to.
Although his face didn't change much, the domineering tone left no room for argument.
Now that his family's circumstances have improved and his daughter is so capable, he no longer needs to compromise like before. When dealing with this kind of person, one should be firm when necessary, regardless of who the other party is.
Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian, Lin Wentao, Lin Luoning, and Lin Wangshi all felt a sense of relief when they saw the changes in Lin Dayou. It was worth it for them to brainwash Lin Dayou from time to time.
Seeing the changes in Lin Dayou, Lin Yangshi and Lin Zhousheng exchanged a glance, realizing that the Lin family was about to rise to prominence.
"Fine, fine, Lin Dayou, now that your family is rich, you're starting to look down on people, huh..."
"You just wait, one day I'll make you beg me for mercy." The fat auntie was chased away by Lin Dayou and Lin Luoxi in front of everyone. A wicked glint flashed in her eyes as she stormed off.
The elderly women who had come with Auntie Pang saw that she had left, and then glanced at Lin Dayou, whose face was not looking good, and Lin Luoxi, who was not easy to mess with, before slinking away.
“Dad, I don’t think this fat aunt is a good person. She might do something underhanded. Tomorrow, go to the village and ask around to see if anyone has dogs. Buy a few to guard the house.”
Since consuming the Spirit Dew Spring Water, Lin Luoxi's physical senses have become far more acute than those of ordinary people.
Lin Luoxi still sensed the resentment and malice that the fat auntie was emanating from their family, no matter how well she hid it.
"Hmm, Luo Xi's eyes are sharp indeed. You were right. That fat auntie is no pushover; once you cross her, you'll be in endless trouble..."
Lin Yangshi walked around the village more often than Lin Wangshi, and she knew very well the troublesome nature of Aunt Pang, who was even more difficult than a little devil.
Judging from what the fat auntie said earlier, every word she uttered was directed at her, so she probably harbors a grudge against her too.
However, even if Aunt Fatty resented her, she could only harbor resentment in her heart. With her personality, she would not lose to Aunt Fatty.
"Why would I need to look anywhere else? My wolfhound just had a litter of puppies, and they're the really fierce kind. If you can tame them, you can take them all and raise them."
(The progress is too slow; Lin Luoxi plans to add more staff.)
