For a while.
A lot of people gathered in the Lin family's yard, and everyone started to criticize Lin Sheng and others.
"Brother Sheng! This is your fault. Dividing the family doesn't mean we're breaking off ties. You must provide the old lady with at least some food and support!"
"That's right, your parents passed away early, and I couldn't fulfill my filial duties. Now that your family is rich, you can't lose your conscience!"
"Your family has had a hard time these past few years, so we can all understand why you haven't given us any food. But why aren't you giving us any now?"
"Don't do such a cruel thing!"
“…”
Most of the people who were talking were elderly women who had sons and grandchildren of their own. They were talking openly to Lin Sheng and the others, but they were also secretly saying this to their younger generations.
He was telling them, both explicitly and implicitly, not to be as ruthless as the Lin brothers in the future.
Lin Sheng felt suffocated by the criticism from everyone and he hurriedly started to explain.
"That's not true, Grandma, Auntie, how can you say that! Although our family has been poor and struggling these past few years, we still send food to Grandma every autumn harvest..."
"Food? Who can eat that little bit of brown rice?"
Before Lin Sheng could finish speaking, his aunt choked.
Lin Wu couldn't help but yelled angrily, "What's wrong with the brown rice? Didn't we deliver it to Grandma on time and in the right amount? Even if we brothers didn't eat or drink, we wouldn't dare to deliver it a moment later. What makes you say we didn't give it to her?"
Sometimes the harvest was poor, and after paying taxes on the grain, the remaining grains were not enough for them to eat even if they were converted into brown rice and coarse grains.
But every time, my eldest brother would come to grandma first, and he has done so every year since we separated from the family!
How could they deny it! How could they!
The two women who helped in the kitchen at the Lin family couldn't help but roll their eyes, their voices drawn out and filled with contempt.
"That's hilarious! I live across the street from you, and every year I see Sheng Ge'er and Lin Wu delivering food to your house.
You shameless people, how dare you say that we didn't provide you with food support!"
"Bah! Isn't it because Lin Mo made a lot of money that his old butt can't sit still on the small stool, so he has to stand up and twist!"
"At first I didn't believe the Lin family was rich, but now that they're about to build a big house, I want to get a piece of the pie. How shameless!"
"That's right... I'm already half buried in the earth, so what's the point of keeping my old face..."
The two women sang in unison, laughing contemptuously as they spoke, which made Old Mrs. Lin and Aunt Lin so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight with the two women.
Old Lady Lin pinched her waist and yelled at the top of her lungs, "You two shameless sluts! What business has it got to do with you that I'm here at my grandson's house? You two unrelated bitches, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
The two women were not afraid either. They straightened their backs, rolled up their sleeves, and rushed forward aggressively.
"Don't think we won't hit you just because you're old, you shameless old man! Everyone knows you've always looked down on the Lin brothers. Before the family split up, you used to bully them, but now that we've split up, you're so quiet..."
"That's right, this old whore who takes advantage of her age and spews shit all over us and even scolds us..."
The atmosphere gradually intensified. Both sides were the best quarrelers and swearers in the village, and for a while they were swearing and arguing with each other.
Lin Sheng and his brothers, who were originally caught in the middle, also stood there in a daze, watching their back-and-forth fight in amazement. The words they uttered became more and more vulgar, and their expressions and postures became more and more ferocious and exaggerated.
"Damn it! I'm going to fight you!"
As the last sentence fell, before anyone could react, four figures quickly entangled and wrestled with each other.
Lin Sheng and Su Mu, who were caught in the middle, rushed over one after another to separate the fight. They were hit several times while struggling, and the whole scene suddenly became chaotic and noisy.
Outside the crowd.
The carriage stopped outside the crowd, and Lin Mo could hear all the shouting and quarreling inside.
The family of three in the car also had grim expressions on their faces. They didn't expect to encounter such a scene as soon as they arrived.
Lin Mo frowned, his face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He hadn't met such annoying people in a long time, and he couldn't help but want to get to know them.
The house hasn't even been built yet, and these people are already getting restless.
"Third Master, this woman's words are so rude." The front was crowded with people and the carriage could not pass through. Lao Gu, who was driving outside, spoke to the carriage with an embarrassed look on his face.
"I want to see what they want to do." Lin Mo jumped out of the car swiftly, his face gloomy and his aura particularly scary.
When the villagers saw him coming back, they all made way for him and discussed Lin Mo's arrival in a low voice.
She didn't dare to meet Lin Mo's sinister eyes, but instead looked carefully at his newly bought carriage and dairy sheep.
"Oh my god, Lin Mo bought a carriage! This is the first time someone in our village has bought a carriage. He's really made a fortune!"
"There are also dairy sheep. I heard that only wealthy families in the city buy them. They are very difficult to raise."
"Who are those three people following him?"
"The Lin family has become very wealthy. They not only built a big house but also bought a carriage. He used to be so sick and looked like he was going to die at any moment, but who would have thought he would become so wealthy now? He's really lucky."
"I don't know where this shitty luck came from..."
“…”
Lin Mo's appearance undoubtedly attracted heated discussions from the onlookers, with mixed reviews and envy. Lin Mo had become accustomed to hearing this during this period of time.
I walked into the yard indifferently. The old house had been completed with the addition.
The original adobe and thatched house was demolished and rebuilt into a brick and tile house, and the yard fence was reinforced and raised again and painted white.
The overall look was brand new, and it didn't seem like it was about to collapse at any time. Seeing this, Lin Mo seemed to feel better.
"Oh! It's me, my third grandson. You're finally back. Do you know how your brother, the servant, bullied me when you were not at home..."
As soon as she saw Lin Mo, the old woman who was still throwing a tantrum rushed over, bursting into tears and crying at the top of her lungs, looking extremely aggrieved and miserable.
Lin Mo's face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was furious.
He didn't see clearly outside just now, but when he came in, he found that Su Mu had fallen to the ground, with both cheeks red and swollen, and Lin Wen was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, crying and gasping for breath.
Lin Sheng and Lin Wu were not in much better condition. Besides a few obvious scars on their faces, their clothes were torn into a mess, and their hair was disheveled and frizzy. It was obvious that they had just been bullied.
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed fiercely, scaring Old Lady Lin to stop moving. The murderous intent in his eyes swept across Old Lady Lin and the flamboyant Aunt Lin like a sharp blade.
