Wu Erfen put her hands on her hips and pointed at Lin Wanwan and yelled, "You shameless little bitch! Who are you yelling at?"
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at them and said, "Whoever is talking nonsense will be criticized!"
Aunt Wang and the fierce old woman next to her also walked up to her angrily, pointing at her and cursing.
"I have never met such an rude child in all these years. It's true that he was born by his mother but not taught by her!"
The vicious old woman next to him continued, "We helped you and your sister so much that you can live to this age. You little girl, you are so ungrateful, and that's ok. We should have starved you to death! Your parents who died a long time ago were killed by you!"
Lin Wanwan didn't want to pay any attention to them at first, but the more they cursed, the more unpleasant it became, and she suddenly became angry.
"What's the matter, aunts? It was you and Sister-in-law Erfen who started it. Haven't you heard that the first to provoke is the slut?"
"Bah! Who are you calling aunt, you little bitch? I'm your grandmother!"
"That's right! This wild girl is not only shameless, but also uneducated!"
Gradually, more and more people gathered around, and when they heard the noise, they came out to watch the fun.
Lin Wanwan suppressed her anger, turned around and looked at the crowd. She saw that Grandma Chen was there too and smiled at her. "Excuse me, Auntie Chen, what Auntie Wang said was my grandmother's generation, is that correct?"
Seeing that she seemed to be much calmer and not as radical as before, Old Mrs. Chen was very satisfied and looked at Aunt Wang and the others with a stern face.
"Lin Hehua, listen to what you say, are you talking like a human being? And you, Wang Dongmei, I think you are going backwards! Lin Wan's father, Lin Jingshan, is of the same generation as the elder of the Lin family, so why can't his daughter call you aunt? He calls you aunt because he respects you, but your Lin Dazhuang is just a junior, so if you really want to talk about it, you have to call Lin Wan aunt! Or do you think she is the only one in her family who is easy to bully?"
Wang Dongmei suddenly realized what was happening and felt a little embarrassed. She argued, "Oh, old lady, there are so many people in our village and the generations are all messed up. I just misremembered it. Besides, it was Lin Wan who scolded us first!"
"Hmph, Wang Dongmei, you better watch your mouth from now on. Wan girl is obviously going to work with a basket on her back, so she doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you. Let Lin Dazhuang teach you a lesson when you go back!"
Wang Dongmei's face turned red and white, looking extremely ugly.
Suddenly there was some commotion at the back of the crowd and a low cry was heard.
"Village head!"
"Li Zheng, why are you here too?"
A serious, skinny man came out from the crowd. He looked to be in his fifties. He walked up to Old Lady Chen and held her arm. "Oh, mother, why are you scolding me again? I just got well, and you're out here to get some fresh air!"
Old Mrs. Chen turned her head away, like a child, "It's all right, come out for some fresh air, stay at home all day and you're bored, come out to see what's going on, Da Zhuang's wife wants Wan Ya to call her grandma, Wan Ya asked me, the old woman, if I don't say a few more words, the seniority of our Linjia Village will be messed up!"
After hearing this, the head of the village could not help but frown. He glanced at Wang Dongmei coldly, then turned around and supported Old Lady Chen with a gentle expression and said, "Wait until she goes back and ask Da Zhuang to teach her a lesson. Why are you still angry? Come on, come back with me first. It's windy outside."
Old Mrs. Chen didn't move and continued to look at Lin Wanwan and the others.
Lin Wanwan took a few steps closer and bowed to the head of the village. She thought it was polite and no one could find fault with her. She had not expected that Aunt Chen was actually the mother of the head of the village. It was just right that some things should be solved together.
"It just so happened that I wanted to go collect firewood, but I ran into a few old sisters-in-law. Not only did they scold me for being shameless, they also scolded me for having a mother who gave birth to me but had no mother to teach me. It is true that my parents passed away early, but they also scolded me for being unlucky and ungrateful. They said that we should have starved to death. I know that everyone has been kind to me and my brother, and I remember it in my heart. In the past few years, I was young and ignorant and did many wrong things, but when was it not them who scolded me first? I don't know what I did to anger them."
People in the crowd couldn't help but talk about it.
"How can these people say this about a child?"
"That's right. Lin Wan's parents are such good people. When they died, everyone in the village agreed to help these two children."
"Alas, poor Lin Wan and Lin Bai lost their parents when they were young, otherwise how could they be talked about every day!"
"Yes, it has not been easy for the two little kids these years."
Of course, there are some harsh words in there.
"We didn't have any favors with them in the beginning. We had to support Lin Wan and her brother every year. There were already many people in our family, so how could we have so much food and vegetables?"
"Your family is fine, but my family has more than ten people. Every time I give her a portion of food, my mother-in-law scolds me for being the head of the family. It's really noisy."
"It stands to reason that Lin Wan is old enough to farm and support himself."
Lin Wanwan listened to these people's discussions with a slight smile on her lips. She could tell that most of these people had a lot of opinions about her.
"Village head, Aunt Chen, Wanwan has something to ask, how much grain does each household in the village give me every year?"
The village head walked out of the crowd and said with a serious face, "There are a total of 109 households in Dalin Village. Each household gets one spoonful of brown rice and one spoonful of corn, totaling 110 kilograms of brown rice and 110 kilograms of corn. You are now 13 years old, and the village has provided you with aid for a total of six years."
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts. I, Lin Wan, am not an ungrateful person. Every household in the village has done Lin Wan and my brother a favor. Lin Wan has his own standards in his heart. Now some families are dissatisfied with us because of these two kilograms of food. So today, I ask the village head to be a witness. From this year on, we will not take a single grain of rice from the village. For those families who have resentment towards us in the past, I will double the food to you at the end of this year. Each household will return 12 kilograms of brown rice and 12 kilograms of corn. You can go to the village head to write down your name, and I will give you the food with both hands at the end of the year!"
