Chapter 128 Money is important, but what's more important than face?
"You dare!" Old Wu retorted angrily when he heard Old Man Lin suddenly say that, but he was clearly not confident enough.
She had offended her niece (Lin Xiaowu) before, and now her brother is probably complaining about her. If she is really divorced, there will be nowhere for her to live in this world.
After all, women who are divorced in this world are drowned in the spittle of the world, and their own families would never accept them. She didn't want to live that kind of life.
No matter how important money is, it's not as important as a lifetime of face. With this thought in mind, and nothing else to do in his old age, he reluctantly got up and started walking towards his room.
Lying on the ground like a dead dog, Lin Daguang saw his mother walk into the house to get some silver, and his eyes flashed with resentment.
What wonderful parents they have! He's been beaten to this state, lying here half-dead, and they haven't even offered to give him any money.
Now, as soon as Yang Qian'ao, that ruthless devil, says he's going to burn down the house, they immediately hand over their money.
It turns out that in his parents' hearts, he was not even as good as this dilapidated house. They used to call him their precious darling, but now he was not even as good as a weed.
The more Lin Daguang thought about it, the more resentful he became towards the old couple.
Yang Qian'ao, who was standing aside waiting, naturally did not miss the resentment in Lin Daguang's eyes.
He wasn't afraid of anything, whether Lin Daguang had ill intentions towards him or towards the old man and his wife.
"Grandma, Grandma..." Lin Luodan saw that Old Madam Lin was about to go back into the house to get money, so she quickly came over to stop her.
But with so many villagers present, and Lin Daguang watching over them, she didn't dare to ask if she could refrain from taking out any money.
What terrible things has she done? Her own mother lost the family's money, and now her father's affair has been exposed.
With no money and a poor family background, how can she possibly get married?
At this moment, Lin Luodan didn't care at all about the mess that was happening at home; all she could think about was how she should get married.
But Lin Luodan never considered that if Old Madam Wu really wasn't going to spend money to save her son, how could she possibly be willing to give money to Lin Luodan, whom she always saw as a money-loser?
"You little slut, get out of my way! You're a jinx, always wearing that miserable face. Do we owe you something...?"
The thought of having to use her life savings made Old Mrs. Lin's heart bleed, and she was already in a bad mood.
Lin Luodan was still blocking the way. After stammering for a while, he got angry and shoved Lin Luodan aside, cursing all the while.
Thinking about how unlucky things had been going on in his family lately, and seeing Lin Luodan still lying at his feet, he kicked Lin Luodan hard again.
"Ah!" After being kicked in the chest by Old Mrs. Lin, Lian Luo felt a sharp pain in his chest and instinctively let out a scream.
His body was also in pain, curled up like a cooked shrimp, unable to straighten up.
After kicking her, Old Madam Lin felt half of her anger had been released. Without even glancing at Lin Luodan, who was crying in pain, she snorted and turned to walk into her room.
Lin Luoxia, who was terrified by Old Madam Lin's actions and burst into tears, sounded particularly loud and jarring in the quiet courtyard.
But at this moment, everyone in the Lin family was too busy to take care of themselves, and no one thought to go forward to comfort Lin Luoxia, who was crying loudly, leaving her there to cry in fright.
"That old Mrs. Lin is truly heartless. Lin Luodan is her own granddaughter, how could she be so cruel..."
"Exactly, with such a vicious heart, no wonder their family has had such a miserable life. The old saying goes, 'Marrying an unvirtuous wife ruins three generations,' and it's certainly true..."
"Exactly, look how smoothly the Lin family has fared since they left that den of wolves..."
Other villagers who disapproved of Lin Lao Wu's behavior began to gossip. Lin Luodan was rather short, while Lin Lao Wu was tall and strong; if he kicked him, it would probably be quite a disaster.
Hearing the surrounding villagers' chatter, Old Man Lin lowered his eyelids slightly, making it impossible to discern his feelings at that moment.
Seeing the Lin family in such a chaotic state, Lin Zhousheng sighed helplessly.
Seeing that Lin Luodan was still curled up on the ground, and that the other members of the Lin family seemed not to have seen her, he, with a soft heart, went over and reached out to help Lin Luodan up.
Lin Luodan originally wanted to lie on the ground and continue to play the victim to delay Lin Lao Wu Shi from getting the money, but Lin Lao Wu Shi didn't take her seriously at all.
Just as I was about to get up from the ground, I saw a pair of hands reaching out out of the corner of my eye, and I looked up along those hands.
When he saw that the hands belonged to Lin Zhousheng, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She nimbly dodged Lin Zhousheng's outstretched hand and struggled to her feet.
Lin Luodan harbored a twisted resentment towards Lin Zhousheng. If it weren't for his meddling, Lin Dayou would still be a servant of their old Lin family.
Even if her mother's money was stolen by a thief, and Lin Dayou didn't sever ties with their family, Lin Dayou's family could still provide money for her wedding dress when she got married.
Lin Zhousheng, as the village head, could not possibly have missed the fleeting look of resentment on Lin Luodan's face.
A chill ran through Lin Zhousheng's eyes. The Lin family was too strange; their thinking was not upright at all, as if he owed them something.
She is nothing like Lin Luoxi. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also very capable and courageous.
Now that he's taken charge, he's been resented by the Lin family, who are all ingrates. Lin Zhousheng doesn't want to get involved in their messy affairs anymore.
And that was indeed the case; Lin Zhousheng withdrew his hand and stood up straight.
He said to Old Man Lin, "Uncle Jiyong, it's getting late. Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Without waiting for Old Man Lin to say anything, she lifted her foot and walked into the crowd.
This is just a trivial matter for the Lin family; let whoever wants to meddle, meddle. Don't let things get messy and you end up causing trouble for yourself.
It is said that a family can't produce two kinds of people. Old Man Lin and Lin Luodan shared the same opinion, both feeling that Lin Zhousheng was a person with ulterior motives.
If it weren't for their meddling, their relationship with Lin Dayou wouldn't have become so strained.
If it weren't for them, their family wouldn't be in this situation now.
Lin Dayou is now worth several hundred taels of silver. If he casually let go of ten taels, his eldest son wouldn't have been beaten into this state. It's all Lin Zhousheng's fault.
Unaware of the Lin family's thoughts, Lin Zhousheng clutched the land deed for thirty acres and quickly weaved through the crowd, heading home.
"Husband, husband, wait for me..." Lin Yangshi, who was watching the commotion in the crowd, saw her husband walking forward without looking back, so she also squeezed out of the crowd and caught up with Lin Zhousheng.
Lin Yangshi, fearing that Lin Zhousheng was unaware of what had happened, kept chattering to himself beside him.
