Chapter 127 Yang Qian'ao Comes to Collect Debt
"Hehe, Luo Xi, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood." Lin Wenjie didn't dare to be angry at all after Lin Luo Xi said that; instead, he was a little scared.
"Hehe, I hope so!" The other party was pretending to be stupid, but Lin Luoxi didn't care. She just gave a cold laugh and ignored him.
"Girl, how about it?" Lin Dayou had also heard about Yang Qian'ao and wanted to go see her.
"Father, don't think about anything else, just think about whether you have any money in your pocket right now!" Lin Luoxi bluntly exposed Lin Dayou's secrets.
"I really didn't." With outsiders present, Lin Dayou felt incredibly embarrassed.
"If you don't have it, hurry home." If Lin Dayou were to actually go, he'd probably be harassed by the Lin family again.
Those people are like leeches; once you get on them, you can't get rid of them.
Ignoring the presence of outsiders, she grabbed Lin Wangshi, called Lin Wenqian, and went back with a cold face.
"Dayou, let's listen to Luoxi. I'll go take a look." Lin Zhousheng understood the true nature of the Lin family and knew what the consequences would be if Lin Dayou went.
Without forcing him, she called out to Lin Wenjie, covered her chest with both hands, and left.
She was very grateful for Lin Luoxi's help and naturally wouldn't do anything to upset her.
They also complained about the Lin family, saying they were like a malignant tumor, as if they would die if they didn't cause some trouble every day.
I really want to drive their whole family away so they won't cause any more trouble in the village.
"Damn it, let go of my son..." Before Lin Zhousheng and Lin Wenjie even got close, they heard the loud, grating voice of Old Madam Lin.
"Village chief, if you don't hurry, Lin Daguang is probably going to be beaten to death by Yang Qian'ao." Among the crowd watching the commotion, a sharp-eyed person saw Lin Zhousheng coming and quickly made way for him.
"What are you doing?" Lin Zhousheng shouted as he approached, stopping Yang Qian'ao, who was about to retaliate for beating Lin Daguang on the head.
"It's good that the village chief is here. I said yesterday that if his scoundrel son dares to defile my woman, he will pay the price."
When Yang Qian'ao saw Lin Zhousheng coming over, he wasn't afraid. He put away his fist that was about to hit Lin Dahuo, stood up straight, and looked at Lin Zhousheng with an open and honest expression.
"You're talking nonsense! Why don't you say it's your woman who seduced my son?"
As the saying goes, if a female dog doesn't wag her tail, a male dog won't mount her.
"It must be that woman. That restless woman beat my son."
Upon hearing Lin Zhousheng's words, Old Madam Lin quickly looked towards Lin Zhoushan. When she saw that there was no one behind Lin Zhousheng, her resentment towards Lin Dayou reached its peak.
After hearing Yang Qian'ao's words, he disregarded everything else and, without distinguishing right from wrong, pointed at Yang Qian'ao and started cursing.
"Ha, there have always been rumors about this family's despicable character. Today, I've finally met them. As expected, they didn't disappoint me." Yang Qian'ao's face gradually darkened as Lin Lao Wu Shi pointed her finger at him and berated him.
"Since you enjoy distorting the truth so much, then I won't hold back anymore." He swung his fist and punched Lin Daguang, who had been dragged out of bed and was still recovering from his injuries.
"Ah, Mother, please stop..." Lin Daguang was filled with regret. How could he have resisted the temptation? Now, he was beaten so badly that his bones ached all over. He vowed that as long as he could live, he would never touch a woman again in his life.
Lin Xiaowu went back to her parents' home yesterday because she was angered by Lin Daguang's behavior, and she hasn't returned yet. Apart from Lin Luodan, Lin Luoxia, and the old man and woman, all the elderly people are still healthy, but they don't dare to step forward to stop Yang Qian'ao's behavior.
They were terrified that Yang Qian'ao's hammer-like fists would strike them.
"Young Master Yang, my old woman is being unreasonable. Please calm down and let my son go." Old Man Lin saw his son's face swollen like a pig's head, and since they couldn't afford 10 taels of silver and Lin Da wasn't there, he had no choice but to kneel down before Yang Qian'ao.
“Old man, don’t think I’ll let you off just because you kneel down to me. Pay up now! I don’t believe you can’t even come up with ten taels of silver for this huge courtyard. I’m not giving you any more. I’ll set this house on fire.”
Yang Qian'ao has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with people like the Lin family.
Since they don't want to pay, then nobody should have an easy time.
He stopped attacking Lin Dayou, took out a tinderbox, lit a spark, and coldly stared at the old man.
"No, no, we'll give it to you, we'll give it to you..."
When Old Man Lin saw Yang Qian'ao looking at him with a determined and cold gaze, he shuddered and quickly turned to look at Old Madam Lin.
At the same time, he hated Lin Dayou to the core. He clearly had several hundred taels of silver, yet he wouldn't even spend ten taels to help them.
Why doesn't this heartless and unfilial son get struck by lightning? Why did God let him get rich instead?
His gaze then fell upon the villagers who were peering over the wall of his house, hoping they would take pity on his family and lend him some money.
The villagers who were watching the commotion simply stared at him, and no one offered to lend him money.
Indeed, these days, it's hard to earn even a penny, let alone ten taels. We can't even feed ourselves, let alone have spare money to lend to an old scoundrel like Old Man Lin.
Seeing that the villagers remained silent, Old Man Lin offered to lend them money, though he also harbored deep resentment towards them.
He felt that these villagers were too cold-blooded and heartless; in his family's time of crisis, not a single person stood up to lend a helping hand.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Zhousheng, who was standing in the courtyard, and wanted to ask for money.
“Uncle Jiyong, I also want to lend you money, but I’m penniless right now and can’t even feed myself…” Wen Zhoushen said helplessly, spreading his hands as he saw Old Man Lin looking at him.
Lin Zhousheng was right. He had spent all his money on buying land and now he didn't have a single copper coin left.
Lin Yangshi, who was also watching the commotion in the crowd, saw her husband (Lin Zhousheng) and thought he would lend money to the Lin family. She was about to interrupt him.
Hearing her husband make such a fuss, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this man wasn't a blockhead. Even when being a good person, one should consider the other party's character. If he had actually lent money to the Lin family, he probably wouldn't have seen them repay the money before he died.
"Old woman, what are you standing there for? Do you really want to see him burn our house down and the whole family go wandering off, right?" Old Man Lin was sure that once they left this village, no one would want them to come back.
As long as you have roots, you'll always make money.
"But, but..." This money should have been paid by Lin Dayou, so why is it being taken from her?
How could she possibly take the money out of her pocket once it's in?
"If you keep saying no, I'll send you back to your parents' home," Old Man Lin threatened, seeing Old Madam Lin's clueless and foolish behavior.
