Chapter Ninety-Seven: Paternity Testing, Do You Dare?
Seeing Yang Chunguang's lewd eyes, Lin's mother could no longer hold back and swung the rolling pin at his face. Yu Jiangli followed suit, throwing a brick at him. One blow or two blows, it's all the same; to deal with scum like this, the more bricks the better.
"Ouch!" Yang Chunguang screamed in agony, crouching on the ground with one hand covering his eyes and the other covering his head. Blood trickled down between his fingers, quickly soaking his clothes.
Upon seeing this, Yang's mother screamed and rushed over, "My son, what's wrong with you?!"
When she saw Yang Chunguang's face covered in blood, her eyes widened in horror. She suddenly stood up and rushed towards Lin's mother like a madwoman...
Before she could even touch the hem of Lin's mother's clothes, Lin Baozhu quickly raised her foot and kicked her hard in the stomach.
Yang's mother was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily to the ground, lying sprawled out like a bean worm whose tail had been stepped on, writhing on the ground and groaning "ouch, ouch" incessantly.
Lin Baozhu withdrew her foot, shifted her gaze from Yang's mother to Yang Chunyan, and then walked towards her step by step.
She had anticipated that this family of toads wouldn't let things go so easily. She had remained inactive until now, not because she didn't want to deal with them, but because she hadn't found the right opportunity or had the time. Now that they had come to her for their lives, she wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless. Hmm! She might as well send the whole family to a farm for re-education!
"Lin Baozhu, I advise you not to do anything reckless!" Yang Chunyan was forced to retreat step by step by her imposing manner, subconsciously raising her hand to gently stroke her stomach, a hint of panic hidden in her eyes.
Lin Baozhu caught a glimpse of her movements and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips: "So that's why your family suddenly started targeting my third brother. So you were planning to make him a 'happy father'."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Yang Chunyan's face turned pale. She hurriedly clutched her stomach and took two steps back, lowering her eyes and not daring to meet Lin Baozhu's gaze.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, I'll kick you in the stomach and we'll know."
As Lin Baozhu spoke, she made a gesture of lifting her foot...
Yang Chunyan was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, her voice trembling with tears: "Lin Baozhu, are you trying to drive me to my death? If your third brother hadn't laid a hand on me, the child I'm carrying would have been from your Lin family!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Lin's mother was so angry that she almost fainted. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Yang Chunyan, her whole body trembling. This vicious woman was driving her son, Sanlang, to his death! Once the label of "hooligan" was firmly attached to him, Sanlang would either marry this troublemaker or be shot. This family was truly wicked to the core!
Seeing that Lin's mother was on the verge of fainting from anger, Yu Jiangli quickly stepped forward to support her and gently patted her back to comfort her: "Auntie, don't get too upset. I heard that the city hospital can do 'paternity tests.' Just by checking, we can find out if the child is biologically related. If it turns out they aren't, then their whole family is guilty of fraud, extortion, and defamation. If they are convicted of multiple crimes, the mastermind will at least be shot!"
Lin's mother suddenly came to her senses, took a deep breath, pointed at Yang Chunyan and said sternly, "My Sanlang is upright and honest, he will never admit to something he didn't do! We dare to do this assessment! But Yang Chunyan, do you dare?"
The villagers, who had been somewhat swayed by the Yang family's tearful pleas, looked at each other in disbelief at Lin's mother's unwavering stance—Baozhu's mother's demeanor didn't seem to be an act.
They all turned to look at the Yang family: Yang's mother kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone; Yang Chunguang was still hissing and gasping for breath in pain; Yang Chunyan looked flustered and her eyes were full of guilt.
Seeing this, the villagers secretly rejoiced that they hadn't spoken carelessly, otherwise they would have completely offended the Lin family.
At this moment, the captain stepped out from the crowd. He had actually arrived long ago, standing at the back observing silently, trying to see if what the Yang family said was true. Now, seeing the Yang family's guilty faces, he understood—this family wasn't seeking justice for Yang Chunyan at all; they were clearly after Lin Baozhu! As for Yang Chunyan and her unborn child, they were merely "add-ons" for the Yang family in a marriage exchange.
The Lin family is no longer what it used to be, especially Lin Baozhu, who is not only the most promising child in the village, but also someone he watched grow up. Now that outsiders dare to scheme against their Da Ge Ba Village, he, as the brigade leader, naturally cannot sit idly by.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown and said seriously, "If you have nothing to hide, then go with Sanlang to get a paternity test. But let me make this clear: if it turns out the child isn't Lin Sanlang's, you'll not only have to bear all the testing costs, but you'll also be held legally responsible—for defamation, slander, extortion, plus your daughter's 'unmarried pregnancy and then turning around and accusing someone' crime of hooliganism. You'll be punished for all these crimes, and you can weigh the consequences yourselves! If you've thought it through, I'll go and get you a letter of introduction right now."
As soon as the brigade leader spoke, the surrounding villagers erupted in discussion:
"I almost got scammed by this family! Although Lin Sanlang is a bit reckless, he's honest at heart. How could he do something like bullying a woman? I've even seen him help Yang Chunyan carry firewood twice before. I bet Yang Chunyan doesn't even know who the father of her child is, so she's trying to get Sanlang to be her sucker!"
"I think they're only pretending to be interested in Lin Sanlang; their real intention is to marry Baozhu as part of a marriage exchange!"
"That hits the nail on the head! This way, I can marry a beautiful wife, take Baozhu's job, and find a father for my daughter's unborn child. This plan is so clever, it's practically jumping off my face!"
Hearing the villagers' discussions, Lin's mother's anger subsided slightly. She looked at the brigade leader and said firmly, "Brigade leader, this concerns my Sanlang's reputation. We must get to the bottom of this today and make it clear, otherwise my Sanlang's reputation will be ruined."
Lin Baozhu stood aside, gently patted her mother's arm, and softly comforted her, "Mother, don't be angry. Go home and rest with Yu Jiangli. Leave things here to me. Don't worry, with me here, they won't be able to take advantage of our family at all."
Lin's mother naturally knew that her daughter was capable, but she was furious that the Yang family had slandered her third son without any evidence, and even more furious that they dared to have designs on Baozhu!
At this moment, Li Chunhua, seeing Lin's mother's ashen face, couldn't help but gloat. She said sarcastically, "Baozhu's mother, I advise you, what's done is done, just admit it. Otherwise, why would the Yang family specifically ask your Sanlang to take responsibility? Besides, they weren't wrong. Baozhu's body has already been touched by someone, it's not clean anymore. You should be grateful if someone is willing to take her, don't be picky. If you drag this out any longer, no one will really want her!"
When Yang's mother heard someone speak up for her, her panicked expression instantly calmed down, and she even showed a hint of pride.
