"That's right, Brother Zheng Hong, you can't bully Sha Ya just because she's an idiot and force her to marry Master Wu. A woman's chastity is so important! How can Sha Ya ever face anyone again? But the Xie family's heir is really pitiful. Not only was his family property confiscated and he was exiled and crippled, but the county magistrate also arranged for him to marry an idiot with an unclear chastity. It's too tragic!"
The one who said this was Lin Da from the village.
He's a slacker too.
He usually talks nonsense, is broke, and is addicted to alcohol.
He even went to town to sell his wife a while ago so he could have money for drinking.
His words seemed to be for Xie Muqing's sake.
In reality, it was a veiled attack, criticizing his incompetence and implying that he couldn't do anything about being cuckolded.
Lin Zhenghong, unable to bear it any longer, rushed up to him and punched him!
You can scold him.
But he absolutely cannot scold his daughter!
"Bullshit! My daughter is innocent! I'll beat you to death, you wife-selling bastard!"
He is usually honest and steady.
Apart from the last family division incident, the villagers had never seen him get this angry before, let alone hit anyone.
Everyone was stunned.
By the time they realized what was happening and tried to break up the fight, Lin Da had already been beaten black and blue.
Since her own father was there to avenge her, Lin Yan decided not to seek the limelight.
She sat casually on the threshold of the gate, resting her chin on her hands and watching the play with peace of mind.
Because he didn't want to see the villagers' ridicule, Xie Muqing never left his house.
They usually only stay in the yard.
While Lin Da was spouting those outrageous words, he was quietly pushing his wheelchair up behind Lin Yan, and naturally heard every single word she said.
In an instant, his alluring and passionate peach blossom eyes turned murderous.
He was filled with murderous intent!
He gripped the edge of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to crush it.
What Lin Da didn't know was...
At this moment, in Xie Muqing's eyes, he was no different from an inanimate object.
Lin Da drank heavily every day.
Naturally, he didn't have the strength of Lin Zhenghong, who did manual labor every day.
However, he was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up after just a few punches.
After being pulled away and temporarily escaping danger, he showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he became even more arrogant, shouting loudly as if he wanted the whole village to hear him!
"Lin Zhenghong! Don't deny what you did. If it wasn't that silly girl hooked up with Master Wu, how do you explain that you suddenly quit your job in town and then had so much money to build a new house? Those dozens of acres of wasteland and this big house couldn't possibly be built for less than fifty taels! Tell me, besides Master Wu, where else in town can you earn so much money? If you're so capable, tell me! Since it's so easy to make money in town, let's all go to town tomorrow and make our fortunes!"
Clearly, most people in the village shared Lin Da's idea.
They also wanted to know.
How did Lin Zhenghong go from being penniless to becoming a landlord with dozens of acres of land?
"I already said, I didn't earn this money. My daughter earned it by hunting and digging for medicinal herbs in the mountains!"
"Do you think we're stupid? A silly girl like you going into the deep mountains to hunt? You're kidding me! Many experienced hunters have gone into the back mountains and come out injured, but your daughter has never been hurt. Is she some kind of fairy?"
"Yes, Zheng Hong, don't try to fool us. Everyone in the village knows that Sha Ya has gone mad. She's never even learned to hunt, let alone medicine. How could she possibly recognize medicinal herbs and dig them up to sell?"
Immediately, the villagers raised a chorus of questions.
Lin Zhenghong tried to explain several times, but his words were drowned out by their voices.
Suddenly, a powerful voice rang out from behind the crowd!
The crowd silently made way for them.
It was Lin Wende, and he was accompanied by several other people.
“Uncle Hong wasn’t lying. Yan’er really does know how to hunt. We can all testify to that. Last time, it was she who killed the black bear and saved us! Otherwise, we would have all become food for the black bear.”
"Wow! A black bear? My god, when did Silly Girl become so amazing? So, the black bear you hunted last time was shot by Silly Girl?!"
The last time Lin Yan helped those villagers hunt a black bear, Lin Wende told the truth.
The others were hampered by their pride.
Unwilling to admit that he was no match for a silly girl, he concealed the truth and only said that the black bear was hunted by their group.
Therefore, the villagers were unaware of the truth.
Now that everyone has learned the truth, their expressions towards Lin Yan have changed from admiration to fear!
After all, they had either never seen a black bear or only heard about how powerful they were.
A woman can kill a black bear.
How terrifying that must be!
Sitting on the threshold, Lin Yan noticed the gazes directed at her and suddenly raised an eyebrow at the villagers with a disdainful smile.
Her smile was undeniably beautiful.
But no one was in the mood to appreciate it...
They inexplicably imagined the horrific scene of her killing the black bear.
Startled, they all shuddered and hurriedly looked away.
Xie Muqing's position and angle were very tricky.
He could see Lin Yan's back, but those outside couldn't see him.
Watching her retreating figure, his admiration for her grew even stronger.
He's only a teenager, yet he's so mature.
From the time the villagers said such nasty things to now, people are defending her.
She remained completely indifferent throughout.
He simply sat quietly on the threshold, not moving an inch.
He felt ashamed that he couldn't be as carefree as her.
Most people admire the strong.
After learning how terrifying Lin Yan was, everyone changed their tune and began to criticize Liu.
“Liu, that’s where you’re wrong. Since the money was earned by Shaya from hunting, it has nothing to do with you. Now your son still depends on Shaya for support, and she has a husband to support now. How can she afford to support you? According to the law, your son is obligated to support you, but your granddaughter is not. Wait a few more years until your eldest grandson grows up and can support you.”
Little did Liu know that the villagers' opinions would change so quickly in such a short time.
Helpless, she could only get up from the ground and flee.
Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Lin Yan.
Lin Da also sneaked away, but of course he didn't intend to let Lin Zhenghong's family off easily!
He has lost face so badly today, he will make that father and daughter pay for it in the future!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly took a side path towards the town...
He thought he had done all this without anyone noticing.
Little did he know that his every move was being watched by two pairs of eyes in the shadows.
The incident was thus resolved.
Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, Lin Yan, the central figure, got up, patted her bottom, and turned to go back into the courtyard, but unexpectedly bumped into a pair of eyes full of concern.
Are you alright?
"I'm fine, it's nothing. It's just a drop in the ocean."
Xie Muqing wanted to say something, but a glance out of the corner of her eye revealed that Lin Zhenghong had also returned, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
