Chapter 128 Public Opinion



"What? This girl's property was taken away by Lin Dongming's family? And they even cut off all ties with her when she was fleeing famine! My God, these Lin Dongming family are such inhumane people, aren't they?"

"Exactly. I thought they were just trying to curry favor with their wealthy relatives, but I didn't expect them to go this far."

"Although our village is a bit poor, we have never seen such a shameless person. How could such a person be assigned to our village?"

"No, we have to talk to the village chief and ask them to move away so that they don't bring bad reputation to our village."

"Yes, our village can't tolerate such people."

"Get out! Get out!"

Lin Jinlian watched the villagers around her pointing fingers at her family, and heard them vying to kick her family out, and she was very annoyed. But at this moment, Lin Jinshan could no longer bear it.

"Lin Jiuyue, you damned girl! If we had known you were such an ungrateful person, when your parents died, we shouldn't have agreed to let the village chief take care of you and your siblings. We should have left you to fend for yourselves!"

When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she didn't know if it was the original owner's mood or what, but a wave of sadness suddenly surged in her heart.

"You control us siblings because all the wealth my parents earned was taken away by your family, including the brick and tile house and several acres of land. These things are worth a lot of money."

"Besides, you took all these things and promised the village chief to treat us well, but what happened? You made us sleep in the thatched hut next door and eat your family's leftovers. You even made us do all the housework! Is this human behavior?"

As Lin Jiuyue spoke one sentence at a time, the villagers' eyes turned unfriendly towards Lin Dongming's family.

It is true that poor and remote areas produce unruly people, but it is the first time I have seen a family like Lin Dongming, who even harmed the orphan of their own brother.

What's more, this happened while taking advantage of others.

"We in Liujiaao can't tolerate people like this. Go, quickly ask the village chief to kick them out today no matter what. I can't sleep well with a family like this living in our village."

"Isn't it? How can someone who even harms his own family be a good person?"

Lin Jiuyue turned her back to the villagers and grinned at Lin Dongming's family.

Want to use public opinion to force me to help them? No way!

Someone in the crowd had already gone to call the village chief of Liujiaao. Lin Jiuyue left Lin Dongming's family.

"If you hadn't gone too far back then, I wouldn't have refused to help you today. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves."

After saying that, Lin Jiuyue leaned close to Lin Jinlian's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Aren't you trying to use public opinion to pressure me into helping you? Now, you'll get a taste of the power of public opinion."

When Lin Jinlian heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she stood there in a daze.

Lin Jiuyue, when did you become so smart? This is completely different from the Lin Jiuyue I remember.

Although Lin Jiuyue was not stupid in the past, she was not as smart as she is now. Even if she was a little smart, she would not be able to do these things with her courage.

It was precisely because I understood Lin Jiuyue's personality that I dared to bring her home. Who knew that Lin Jiuyue would be so difficult to deal with now?

"Lin Jiuyue, you..."

Lin Jiuyue smiled at Lin Jinlian.

"Do you still think that I am the same as before and can be manipulated by you? Then you are wrong. I, Lin Jiuyue, am no longer the Lin Jiuyue of the past."

"If you want to cause trouble for me, just come. I'll deal with you every time you come!"

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she smiled at Lin Jinlian, as if the person who had just spoken in a cold tone was not herself.

Jinlian stared at Lin Jiuyue with wide eyes.

"You, you are not Lin Jiuyue!"

Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not Lin Jiuyue, are you?"

Lin Jinlian shook her head.

"No, you're not. Lin Jiuyue is not like you, she..."

Lin Jiuyue interrupted Lin Jinlian impatiently.

"Am I only Lin Jiuyue if I allow you to manipulate me? Once you can no longer manipulate me, I'm no longer Lin Jiuyue? How can this be justified?"

As soon as Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, the villagers who went to call the village chief rushed over.

"Village chief, you have to make a decision for us villagers. The Lin Dongming family cannot stay in our village. People like them will ruin our village's reputation sooner or later!"

The village chief waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I heard everything you said. I know what to do."

When Lin Jiuyue saw the village chief of Liujiaao coming over, she stood aside consciously.

Since I am not a villager of Liujiaao, I have no right to interfere in the fate of Lin Dongming's family.

The village chief passed by Lin Jiuyue, looked at her, said nothing, and then turned his gaze to Lin Dongming's family.

"Lin Dongming, what's going on?"

On the way, the village chief had already heard the villagers talk about the general situation, but in order to prevent others from gossiping, the village chief asked Lin Dongming again.

Lin Dongming stammered as he recounted the entire incident. However, he glossed over some of the details.

"is that so?"

"Village chief, that's what's going on. This girl is holding a grudge against our family and wants to drive us out of the village. She has a very vicious mind."

As Lin Dongming spoke, he glared at Lin Jiuyue with resentment.

Lin Jiuyue smiled indifferently.

I don't really care whether I can drive Lin Dongming and his family out of the village. I just want to use this incident to warn the Lin family not to mess with me!

The village chief frowned.

The Lin family's reputation is now ruined. The best solution is to follow the villagers' wishes and drive them out of the village.

But their situation was special. They were refugees from famine, and were arranged to live in Liujiaao by the higher-ups. If they wanted to drive their family out of the village, they had to report it to the higher-ups and get their approval. He couldn't make the decision himself.

This matter is simple to say but a bit troublesome to do!

But if I don't drive them out of the village, I'm afraid the villagers will be upset and come to make trouble every day.

This Lin family is really causing trouble for themselves!

Knowing that they were refugees from famine and were unfamiliar with the village, they still dared to cause trouble. It was obvious that this family was not very smart.

Their daughter, however, seems okay.
