Whether Chapter 255 was just a casual remark or driven by jealousy, you know the answer in your heart.

"Hey, do you guys think Lin Luoxi is the same girl the Lin family said she is?..." A woman in the crowd started stirring things up as soon as she saw Lin Dayou carrying Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan into the house.

"If you're not afraid that the Lin family will come out and tear your mouth apart, then keep talking."

Having worked for Lin Luoxi's family for a long time and earned a lot of money from them, now anyone who dares to speak out against the Lin family doesn't even need the Lin family members to fight back; the villagers will naturally chime in.

"I was just saying it casually..." The woman originally thought that her words would resonate with others and that they would discuss it with her, but she was ostracized by everyone and smiled awkwardly.

"Whether it was just a casual remark or you're jealous of the Lin family, you should know in your heart."

"The Lin family is different now than before. We need to be careful, or we'll have our mouths torn off one day, that would be hilarious." Everyone looked at the woman and understood her thoughts.

Every household in the village had to work for the Lin family, but this woman was discovered by Lin Luoxi because she liked grinding potatoes. Lin Luoxi then asked Lin Yangshi to inform them not to hire such a person, so it's normal for her to hold a grudge against the Lin family.

They had seen Lin Luoxi's situation, and since the Lin family was also busy, and they had worked all day, they simply stopped and went home to rest.

"Pah, a petty person who has gained power deserves to suffer retribution." When all the villagers went home and he was the only one left, the woman spat at Lin Luoxi's house and cursed the Lin family.

"Try spitting out again, or I'll rip your tongue out!" Lin Yi, who was in the courtyard, had already heard the woman's provocative voice.

Seeing that she still dared to spit in their direction, he immediately walked out and glared angrily at the woman.

Lin Yi was a bandit in the mountains. When he glared at that woman, his fierce eyes seemed to want to tear her apart.

"Oh my god!" Seeing Lin Yi's fierce expression, the woman lost all her previous arrogance and ran away.

"Hmph, spineless coward, all talk and no action." Lin Yi saw the woman run away and turned back to the Lin family home.

"I didn't expect the farmhand your Luo Xi hired to be so protective of his own, not saying a single word about your family to anyone else." Lin Yangshi, who was in the courtyard, had also seen Lin Yi's every move and whispered to Lin Wangshi.

"They are all good. It is our blessing to be able to hire such good farmhands." Lin Wangshi still does not know that Lin Yi sold himself to Lin Luoxi, and he is not just a farmhand.

"Hehe, it's also because you are all so kind. Only by treating others with empathy can you earn their sincerity." In this respect, Madam Lin Yang genuinely felt that the Lin family was truly kind.

"You are all doing well..." Lin Wangshi was not in the mood to talk about those things with Lin Yangshi today, and answered absentmindedly.

"Alright, seeing that you still have a lot to do, we'll be going now."

Madam Lin Yang wasn't entirely oblivious; knowing the Lin family's current predicament, she informed Madam Lin Wang and then went home.

The Lin family finally quieted down after working until midnight.

Hearing that Lin Yi and the others were about to return to the back mountain, Lin Luoxi quickly whispered a few words to Zhao Ximo, asking her to go out and tell Lin Yi.

"Okay, tell Miss to rest assured, we'll take care of things perfectly."

Upon hearing Zhao Ximo's message, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. He excitedly finished speaking to Zhao Ximo and then led his brothers out.

Seeing Lin Yi and his group leave triumphantly, Zhao Ximo ran back to Lin Luoxi's room with some worry.

"Miss, do you think Lin Yi and his group might cause a death?" I'm afraid Lin Yi might not know his own strength and accidentally kill someone, which would be a real problem.

"It's alright. I trust Lin Yi will know what he's doing. As long as he loses a hand or a foot, he won't die," Lin Luoxi said with a cold laugh.

She had a premonition that someone knew she was injured, and that wicked heart was stirring within her! It couldn't be hidden any longer.

“This…” Zhao Ximo didn’t expect her young lady to be so bold, but seeing how confident she seemed, she didn’t say anything more and started to busy herself with her work.

But tonight, Wutong Village is destined to be anything but peaceful.

The thing Lin Luoxi had predicted hadn't happened yet, but the Lin family was already in an uproar.

The villagers, who had been busy all day, were woken up by the noise from Old Lin's house, and they all became resentful.

When the villagers learned that Lin Luodan, who had just married into the Wang family that day, had returned crying and brought back such explosive news, their gossip instincts were reignited, and they completely ignored their physical exhaustion.

"My God, have you heard? Lin Luodan was supposed to marry into the Wang family, but before she even reached the Wang family's door, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked her at the gate."

After Wang Guangrong and the other bride, Zhang Yanniang, finished their wedding ceremony, Lin Luodan, who had been waiting for a full hour, was finally allowed to enter.

The woman who married Wang Guangrong said that the one who formally entered the house was the wife, while the one who entered directly could only be a concubine.

The Wang family mother and son, considering that Zhang Yanniang brought a huge dowry, tacitly accepted Zhang Yanniang's statement.

In fact, Wang Guangrong was happier than anyone else to be able to marry two women at once, making them both his wife and concubine. He even felt incredibly capable, as he could make two women vie to marry him.

So when Zhang Yanniang was setting rules for Lin Luodan, the mother and son remained completely silent, letting Zhang Yanniang do whatever she wanted.

Lin Luodan was kept outside for an hour, and then Zhang Yanniang had her men force her to kneel before her and observe the rules for another two hours. By the time Lin Luodan wanted to return and report the news, it was already dark.

Zhang Yanniang was not afraid that Lin Luodan would make a scene; in fact, she even had her maidservant come back with Lin Luodan.

Seeing Lin Luodan crying her eyes out at the Lin family's house, Zhang Yanniang's nanny immediately took out thirty taels of silver.

The meaning is clear: her young lady is the legal wife, Lin Luodan is the concubine, and the thirty taels are compensation to Lin Luodan.

When the Lin family saw the thirty taels of silver given by Zhang Yanniang's nanny, they no longer cared about Lin Luodan. They had no backbone at all and nodded in agreement to whatever the nanny said.

Seeing how her own family treated her, and remembering that her mother had gone to become a concubine in the Zhang family, Lin Luodan felt ashamed and couldn't hold her head up high.

Now they want her to be a concubine to that widow in the Zhang family? Don't even think about it.

Since this family won't make decisions for her, she might as well not have it.

While the Lin family and the old woman were negotiating, he pushed through the crowd and ran towards the back of the mountain.

Since that wretched girl Lin Luoxi could find a way to make money in the back mountain, she would also rush into the back mountain to find a way out for herself.

If all else fails, she will cross the back mountain and seek a living elsewhere.

"Oh no! The Lin family girl has run away!" The servant girl who came with Zhang Yanniang's nanny turned around and couldn't see Lin Luodan, so she screamed in fear.
