Lin Anniang frowned slightly and quickened her pace again, letting Ning Xiangqiao lead the child behind her. When they arrived at the courtyard in front, she happened to hear the village head's final decision.
Well, someone actually dared to judge her so casually while she was up the mountain.
Lin Anniang snorted coldly, pushed open the courtyard gate, and looked at the villagers.
Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the group, she kicked a nearby rock hard, and the rock she had used as a stepping stone instantly turned to dust.
"Lord Village Head, what were you discussing with the villagers while I was away? Could I hear what you were talking about?"
Lin Anniang raised her eyebrows and eyes, exuding an aggressive aura.
A group of uncles and elders: "..."
They couldn't even breathe properly, let alone continue talking.
Good heavens! How can Lin Anniang be so strong? She's not just some strongwoman, she's a legendary heroine or a hermit master!
These older uncles and elders had heard some rumors before, but had never truly experienced it. This time, they were truly stunned and speechless with fear.
"What's wrong? Why is everyone so quiet? Weren't you chatting away happily before? Should I repeat myself?"
"That Wu Cuiying called me a wicked woman and wanted the authorities to arrest me!"
Lin Anniang snorted coldly again.
One of the elderly men who agreed with Wu Cuiying almost fainted. This guy clearly didn't come in, so how could he hear so clearly?
Therefore, this Lady An must be a legendary reclusive master! Everyone was already certain of this.
How could they explain that? Would an explanation even work? They all glared angrily at Wu Cuiying, and even the elderly Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin, who had somehow sneaked in from behind, were subjected to the angry stares of the crowd.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Even though it was my suggestion, you all agreed to it!"
"With so many people, are we afraid of Lin Anniang alone?" Wu Cuiying said defiantly while quietly backing away.
"If you don't agree with me, I'll just leave. Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll be leaving now. You can continue chatting here!"
Wu Cuiying ultimately didn't have time to leave, because the next second she was slapped and sent flying.
Lin Erluo, who was watching the commotion from behind, was also slapped and flew directly onto the top of the wall, groaning and crying out.
"I told you not to mess with me, but you're still spreading rumors. If I hadn't come back in time, the government officials would probably be here by now." Lin Anniang was speechless.
When will these guys finally learn their lesson? Looks like we'll have to wait until somewhere secluded to teach them a good lesson, and then some of them will realize the true meaning of life.
The moment the Lin family's second wife flew out, all the uncles and elders in the courtyard instinctively took a few steps back, pressing themselves tightly against the wall behind them.
That force was terrifying! Luckily, they didn't act rashly, or their lives would have been in danger!
"Lord of the village, I sent Xiang Niangzi to the mountain god temple overnight. She has recovered now and will be here with her child soon. Do I need to explain again?"
A group of uncles and elders shook their heads in unison. Even if the person was dead, they would not dare to disobey this terrifying guy at this time!
"Very well, then go and report it to the authorities." Lin Anniang finally smiled.
The villagers became even more nervous. Why should they report it to the authorities?
"What? Xiang Niangzi was beaten half to death by Lin Genzhu, and you still haven't reported it to the authorities?"
"Report it, report it, report it to the authorities right away!" Lin Lizheng felt guilty and somewhat resentful.
If Lin Genzhu hadn't beaten his wife like that in the middle of the night, how could they have offended Lin Anniang?
Just as everyone was at a loss, the wooden door was kicked open again.
"I think you're all getting senile!" Supported by a young girl, an elderly woman dressed simply walked over.
Behind her stood an elderly man who looked remarkably like Master Lin.
"Mother, elder brother, weren't you in Chongzhou? Why are you back now?" Master Lin quickly came over and tried to help the old lady.
"You still call me 'Mom'? I bet you don't respect me at all!"
"Just because you've become the local official, does that mean you can let the villagers bully people?"
"If my grandchildren hadn't come over to talk to me, I wouldn't have known that so many things had happened in the village during the years I was gone!"
The old lady was so angry that her face turned red.
"I think it's because I've been gone for too long, letting you all live such comfortable lives that you've forgotten the Lin family rules!"
A group of uncles all had strange expressions on their faces.
The simply dressed old lady was about to say that she would be punished according to family rules, but when she looked up, she was stunned.
