Chapter 115 They came to demand money again, and the whole village rallied against them.
"You disloyal, unrighteous, and unfilial person, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Old Man Lin spoke with great passion and refinement, even bringing up morality and ethics to condemn him, showing how angry he was.
He glared at Lin Dayou with hatred in his eyes, thinking that if it weren't for the fear that the evil god Yang Qian'ao from Yangjia Village would come to his house to demand money, he would really like to use a hoe to kill this bastard.
"What? Uncle Lin, you said your son was beaten up? Why was he beaten up?" Lin Dayou didn't confront the old man directly, but seized on the key point in the old man's words and asked again in front of everyone.
"Your older brother was..." Old Man Lin didn't quite understand what was going on, and tried to play the victim.
"What? You call him my brother? Lin Jiyong, are you really forgetful or what? You severed ties with Lin Dayou's family back then, how can you still use this relationship to blackmail Dayou?"
"Besides, what your son did last night has brought shame to our entire village. Instead of trying to cover it up, you're spreading it around everywhere. Do you think you're proud of it, or do you think you haven't embarrassed everyone in our village enough?"
The old clan chief, who had arrived at some unknown time, immediately stood up and pointed at Lin Jiyong's nose, cursing him upon hearing his words.
It's all because of people like this; if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. They raised their own children to be petty thieves, and now, to make matters worse, they've even started doing shameful things like stealing other people's bodies.
It's a disgrace to the whole village. I don't know how the young people of Wutong Village will be in the future, or whether they will be pointed at and gossiped about.
The elder clan chief's words immediately ignited the anger of the villagers who were watching the spectacle, and they all pointed and whispered about the elder clan chief and his family.
Every family has underage children or children who are about to be married, so they naturally understand the seriousness of what Lin Daguang did yesterday, and they all wish they could drive Lin Jiyong's family out of Wutong Village.
Instead of keeping quiet and staying at home, they came to Lin Dayou's house and caused a scene. They are really shameless.
Furthermore, the Lin family has already severed ties with them, so why do they keep coming to cause trouble at the Lin family's house? They really are picking on the weak. Fortunately, Lin Dayou has also severed ties with them.
"Elder, let's put last night's matter aside for now and talk about it later. What I want to talk about now is that unfilial son, Lin Dayou..."
“My son Daguang was beaten last night and is covered in bruises. He also has a high fever and is dying. Could you ask Lin Dayou to give us money to treat Daguang’s injuries?”
"If Da Guang's injuries aren't treated soon, he'll die, clan elder..." Lin Jiyong was being scolded by the clan elder, and knowing he was in the wrong, he not only dared not refute but also tried to change the subject.
He even tried to appeal to their emotions, playing the victim and pleading with red-eyed villagers, hoping they would forget what happened yesterday and help him get money from Lin Dayou.
"Ha, so it's a small matter that you've made the entire village lose face, young and old; the big deal is that you came to Lin Dayou's house to throw a tantrum and demand money."
"Lin Jiyong, if you don't want to stay in Wutong Village anymore, you can take your whole family and get out of here. We will not stop you."
The clan elder was so angry at Old Man Lin’s behavior that he almost couldn’t breathe. He didn’t care about Lin Jiyong’s reputation and directly made some harsh remarks.
"Elders, you can't be so heartless! My son, Da Guang, is waiting for me to give him money to get treatment." Old Man Lin was also frightened by the words of the Lin family elders.
But Old Man Lin felt that the Lin family elders were just saying that and wouldn't actually dare to drive them away.
Even now, they still don't realize their mistake and shamelessly ask for money.
"Hmph, Lin Jiyong, I've discovered you're truly shameless. You keep saying you're here for money, but does Lin Dayou owe your family money, or have you ever helped Lin Dayou in the slightest...?"
"And also, is Lin Dayou really you...?" The old clan chief was so angry at Lin Jiyong's shamelessness that he almost laughed.
"Elder..." Old Man Lin immediately shouted to stop him when he heard the elder's last words.
The old clan chief was startled by the old man's words and was interrupted before he could finish speaking. He looked at the old man with suspicion.
His eyes swept over Lin Dayou again, a wise look flashing in them.
"You..." The patriarch's long-held suspicions seemed to have found an answer at this moment, and he wanted to ask for confirmation.
Lin Luoxi, who had just walked over, naturally noticed the subtle change in the old patriarch's eyes. Seeing the old man's unusually excited expression, she felt that there was something going on that everyone was unaware of, and she began to ponder it herself.
"Elder, my son Da Guang is still lying at home with a fever..." Old Man Lin seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic and continued to bring up Lin Da Guang.
After saying that, he gave a wink to the dejected old lady Lin.
Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Lin was so frightened last night that she didn't notice Old Mr. Lin's gaze at all, and spent the whole time frantically searching for the figure of Lin Luoxi, this evil spirit.
She was afraid that Lin Luoxi would take out that sharp shovel again and shovel it at her.
"Lin Jiyong, don't try that with me. Your family has taken so many good things from Lin Dayou's family over the years. I don't believe your family doesn't have a single copper coin."
"Your two families have absolutely no connection now. If you continue this fuss, and Lin Dayou decides to report you to the authorities, your whole family will probably be arrested."
"If you don't want to lose face too badly, I advise you to go back right away."
Seeing the stubborn and annoying old man Lin in front of him, the clan elder had no patience to persuade him anymore and directly brought up the words "had been to prison".
Upon hearing the elder's words, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but give him a grateful smile.
The elders said this indirectly to remind them that in critical moments, it would be easier to report to the authorities than to confront this person directly.
"Elders, you must speak with a clear conscience. The reason we severed ties was because of your instigation..." Old Man Lin was naturally frightened upon hearing the clan patriarch's words.
But all of this was due to the interference of this old geezer. Otherwise, his family and Lin Dayou would still be one family, and Lin Dayou wouldn't dare to refuse.
"Heh, today I finally know what it feels like to be bitten by a mad dog. Lin Jiyong, are you sure we were the ones who interfered back then? If you weren't afraid of going to jail, you wouldn't have agreed..."
Elder Lin has decided to show no mercy to the shameless old man Lin and expose his deceit.
"What do you mean by breaking the law? My grandson was disobedient, so I gave him a few slaps. What's wrong with that…" Old Man Lin was now hitting Lin Wentao because Lin Wentao had already woken up, and there was no longer any evidence to prove that he had almost beaten Lin Wentao to death.
