Last time, he knocked someone down with a single blow.
What's even more infuriating is that, in addition to babbling incoherently, she also recounted every single item that had been returned to her.
Isn't she afraid of losing face? She used to be most afraid of losing face, so even if she suffered a lot of anger at home, she wouldn't go out and say a word.
But now...
Gradually, more and more people around couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak up.
Even though Boss Yin didn't look over, he could still feel the scorching and disdainful gazes falling on him.
Yin Lan's child continued her long-winded account of how much she had brought back from over there, "If I didn't take anything back, the men in my family would beat me to death, anyway, I'd be dead anyway..."
The people around couldn't stand it anymore.
"Boss Yin, she's already struggling to make ends meet. You should back off. Give her man some money and help him out."
"that is."
"Yes, it's so pitiful, it's really too tragic."
Yin Lan pretended to cry on the side.
As Grandma Yin listened at home, her face turned ashen, and her hands trembled violently. In all her years in Yin Family Village, she had never been so humiliated!
She has completely lost face.
"Stop hitting me! Come back!" she yelled at Old Master Yin.
Boss Yin's expression kept changing; one moment he was furious, the next he was embarrassed and ashamed. He threw down the stick in his hand and walked back.
"Let her take something back with her," a villager said, stepping forward to uphold justice as Yin Lan sobbed uncontrollably.
Yin Lan chuckled inwardly, but wiped away her tears and continued to play the victim.
"Please help me judge this, everyone. My family members are all wearing new cotton-padded clothes, but my three sons don't even have old winter clothes. I brought so much money and things with me today because I don't want my three sons to freeze or starve to death. Is it too much to ask for a cotton quilt that I borrowed in the past?"
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, your mother is useless. Your mother-in-law and father-in-law are sucking your blood, and I can't even support you anymore."
Yin Lan wasn't afraid of losing face.
Anyway, she doesn't hang out in this village anymore. The real embarrassment isn't her, but the Yin family's.
Sure enough, the Yin family was completely dumbfounded by Yin Lan's actions and hid inside, too afraid to come out.
The villagers outside were full of accusations, and even women who had suffered injustices under Old Lady Yin in the past stood up.
"The Yin family are heartless and wicked. Once, when my family's fields were irrigated, someone dug a hole, and the water flowed into the Yin family's fields. Who would believe it wasn't their family who did it?"
"And also, last time when the grain was distributed, did his family take more than they should have, under the guise of helping out? I saw it clearly."
Upon hearing this, many people around also remembered it, and the criticism grew even louder.
Grandma Yin originally wanted to stay inside the house, but now not only did Yin Lan reveal the past incidents of taking money and items, but other villagers also stood up to criticize her family. If this continues, who knows how many more things will be brought up? Who hasn't taken advantage of others? Who hasn't done these things?
Old Mrs. Yin was furious at the thought of her heartless, money-losing son and her rotten neighbors. She kicked Old Mrs. Yin in the leg.
"Doesn't she also want a quilt? Go get that old one for her, and kick her out of here right now."
After saying that, she saw her trembling daughter-in-law next to her and her anger flared up instantly. "My daughter who is married off can hit and curse people like this, but all you do when my Yin family brings you in is stand there trembling? What use are you?"
"She's back, so why did you provoke her? If you hadn't said those things to her, would she be out there causing trouble? You're a useless piece of trash who's good for nothing!"
Yin's eldest daughter-in-law's eyes were red; her mother-in-law was truly unreasonable.
One minute they're blaming her for provoking her third sister-in-law, the next they're blaming her for not being strong enough.
It seems that the family is going to lose some things to this married-out third aunt today, and most of the mother-in-law's anger will be directed at her. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yin family is on the verge of tears.
Grandma Yin was still cursing, "That good-for-nothing can go back to her parents' home to extort money. You go back this morning and bring me a quilt."
Yin Laoda's wife was really about to cry.
How much did this third aunt bring back in the past? She herself didn't take a single thing back to her parents' home, nor did she dare to. How can you compare that?
Old Master Yin was in excruciating pain from the blow in the morning. His eyes were blazing with anger, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on his mother. He cursed Yin Lan countless times in his heart, then stormed into the inner room, grabbed an old cotton quilt that had been put away, opened the door, and threw it out.
Just as he was about to close the door, Yin Lan squeezed in from the side.
Under Boss Yin's shocked gaze, Yin Lan rushed in and pointed at the items, saying, "This porcelain basin was lent to you, and now I'm taking it back. And this kitchen knife, this axe..."
Yin Lan looked around. The other things were all rather bulky, and he couldn't carry too much by himself today. "And that hoe, the quilts and clothes in the house, they were all things I lent to you before. I won't take them today, I'll take them back next time."
She looked around as she spoke, her hands moving constantly.
In just over ten seconds, he had grabbed his things and dashed out of the room.
Before Yin Laoda could react, Yin Lan, with the help of the villagers, had already put the porcelain basin, kitchen knife, and axe into the quilt, wrapped them up, tied them tightly with a rope, carried them on her back, and strode away.
Several seconds later, it was only then that Boss Yin realized that several valuable items in his house had been looted.
And according to Yin Lan, what she stole this time wasn't enough, and she'll come back to steal again next time? Is there no law anymore?
He was so angry his eyes were practically spitting fire. He wanted to rush out and drag the girl who had paid him the money back, but the villagers outside were still there.
There was even much discussion, with people saying, "I was wondering why the Yin family was doing so well; it turns out it was all thanks to their married daughters supporting them."
"Haven't you heard her nagging? All the slightly valuable things in the house were sent over by her."
"They eat their daughter's food and use their daughter's things, but in the end they beat her up. The Yin family is truly inhuman."
Under such public opinion, how could Boss Yin dare to go out?
He was so angry he gritted his teeth.
The door slammed shut with a "bang!"
But Old Mrs. Zhang from the village walked over shakily and knocked hard on the door.
When are you going to return the winnowing basket you borrowed from me?
The people around couldn't stand it anymore. "Old Mrs. Zhang is an old woman living alone, and they even stole her things. The Yin family is simply heartless."
Old Mrs. Yin was furious inside.
