What's going on? Isn't it that these guys are letting the villagers bully An Niangzi and even clamoring to report it to the authorities?
Why are they all huddled there, even more docile than rabbits that have seen people?
The old lady thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but she firmly believed in her judgment.
"Regardless, what happened in the village is true! What did I warn you about this back then? I've been away for so many years, and I haven't disciplined you properly. You must have forgotten by now, right?"
"Boss, bring me my stick!"
The old man next to him suddenly produced a long stick.
"Mother, Mother, Aunt, Auntie, no!" The group of uncles and elders panicked instantly and knelt down on the ground in unison.
"I'll teach you a lesson for not distinguishing right from wrong, for standing by and watching someone die, for making such a mess of Linjia Village! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because I, the old lady, don't come back often?"
This old lady was really serious about hitting people. She walked over with a stick, full of energy, and started beating up the group of elderly uncles and elders.
…
Upon seeing this, Yu Luo couldn't stop laughing.
I thought everyone in Linjia Village was like Lin An's husband and Lin Genzhu, with no morals whatsoever. Who knew there were such reasonable people among them!
The person who can grab a stick and beat up so many old men must be of a higher generation, right?
The system, which had somehow woken up, popped up again: "You guessed right, this old lady is the most senior. She's over 110 years old. All the elders in the Lin family are her juniors."
Yu Luo thought to himself, no wonder he heard so many mothers' voices earlier, it turns out the old lady is already so old, but she's so handsome!
The system thought for a moment and then added, "Actually, Linjia Village is quite special. They are a family that was exiled here because of a mistake they made a hundred years ago. They have lived and multiplied here for a hundred years. Old Madam Gongsun is the only one who still remembers the glory of the Lin family. She was once a princess."
Princess could have stayed in the capital, but Lady Gongsun couldn't bear to part with her mother-in-law who always protected her, so she insisted on coming over and has been living there ever since.
Because of Old Lady Gongsun's unique identity, the group had no intention of resisting and only dared to howl.
"Mother, Mother, stop hitting her! You're tired from hitting her, let's take a break!"
"Mother, how could we dare to do that! If we had known that Lin Anniang was such a master, we wouldn't have dared to do it even if we had a hundred times the courage!"
"Oh, so you actually think you're right? Just because she's a frail little girl, you think you can be unreasonable?"
"Mother, no, we were wrong!"
"Aww!"
The scene was quite comical, with a group of old men being beaten and running around, howling in pain.
"Hmph, let's teach them a lesson like this first. If something like this happens again, it won't be so simple!"
Grandma Gongsun finally calmed down and snorted again: "It seems that my years of seclusion and detachment from worldly affairs have given you the illusion that you can act up again!"
"I'm telling you right now, let's see who dares to touch Madam An!"
A group of uncles and elders: "..."
Who would have thought that such a small thing would attract the old lady's attention?
They should have known better than to come and join in the fun. Not only were they threatened by Lin Anniang, but they also had to get scolded by their grandmother/mother/aunt. They just couldn't live like this anymore!
"Why is the house so lively?" Ning Xiangqiao finally ran over with several children. She was not as fast as Lin Anniang and barely made it.
Seeing the energetic Ning Xiangqiao, the villagers were also stunned.
So, what's with that pool of blood on the ground? It couldn't be Lin Genzhu's, could it?
A group of people shuddered and looked at Lin Anniang in horror.
Seeing this, Ning Xiangqiao quickly picked up a broom and began sweeping while explaining.
"Don't be surprised, this blood is of course mine. I was just very lucky to be taken to the Mountain God Temple by An Niang and saved by the Mountain Goddess."
“If it weren’t for Anniang and the Mountain Goddess, I would have lost my life long ago.”
"Mom, I'll clean for you!" Lin Feng, who was outside, also came in carrying his younger sister.
A sharp-eyed neighbor noticed Lin Feng's recovered hand and instinctively widened his eyes.
Last night, Lin Feng knocked on the doors of several neighbors, but those people were afraid of being harassed by Lin Genzhu, so even though they felt sorry for him, they didn't dare to go over.
They had naturally seen Lin Feng's condition back then and thought that the child's hand was definitely beyond saving, but who knew that it had recovered in just one night!
The most emotional person was Zhang Niangzi, whose son had lost an arm on the battlefield, a pain that remained a constant in the hearts of the entire Zhang family.
If the Mountain Goddess is really that powerful, she will kneel until her legs break, and she will still beg for her son to come back!
"Madam An, Madam Xiang, were you and the children really saved by the Mountain Goddess?"
"May I ask Your Majesty if my son Chongjiu's arm, which he has broken, can grow back?"
"No, no, no, I don't ask for too much. I just want my son's old ailment cured. He was wounded by a knife on the battlefield, and now he's in unbearable pain every night!"
Zhang Niangzi was already incoherent.
Ning Xiangqiao also thought of her son, who had been very quiet for a long time, which had almost driven her crazy.
However, she wouldn't readily agree to anyone's request. After all, this was the Mountain Goddess's mercy, and she had to go to the Mountain God Temple to ask the Mountain Goddess for the answer.
Thinking this, she looked at Lin Anniang beside her.
In an instant, everyone looked at Lin Anniang.
“Anniang, good child, shall we go to the old house to talk?” Grandma Gongsun suddenly spoke up.
This old house refers to the old house where Grandma Gongsun lived for many years. Next to the old house is a thick, century-old willow tree.
Lin Anniang nodded without hesitation. Naturally, she wanted the Mountain Goddess to be worshipped by more people so that more people would know about her benevolence.
If the leaders of Linjia Village can negotiate, it will save a lot of effort and allow them to repair the mountain god temple more quickly and replace the statue of the mountain god.
Inside the dilapidated temple, Yu Luo was also filled with anticipation.
Her reputation as a mountain goddess is finally about to spread throughout the entire village, and she's on track to become a probationary deity!
