Afterwards, other villagers who were going to town with the Zhang couple also arrived at the Zhang family's courtyard one after another.
Upon hearing Li Shufen's explanation that Lin Qixia was going to ride in the oxcart with them, they all looked at Lin Qixia with either surprise or fear.
Lin Qixia, who was waiting for them to finish packing, was already numb from all the stares.
At this point, it's best not to say anything, as it would only backfire.
"Everything's packed, let's go!" Li Shufen's husband, Zhang Dazhuang, had already come out and was ready to set off with the oxcart.
The other villagers also got onto the oxcart.
Because Zhang Jize was afraid of her, he cried and made a fuss about not going. Li Shufen had no choice but to let him stay at home.
Lin Qixia didn't care about this, but when she put on her basket and boarded the oxcart, the others unconsciously stepped back a good distance to make room for her.
Lin Qixia: "..."
Okay, at least the space is spacious enough, so she won't feel cramped.
She didn't care about how these people treated her.
After getting on the oxcart, Lin Qixia said to Zhang Dazhuang, "Let's go, Uncle Zhang."
"Huh? Huh! Okay!" Zhang Dazhuang was taken aback by Lin Qixia's address of him as "Uncle Zhang," and thought to himself, "Has this little girl changed her ways? She's being so polite."
The oxcart then drove away from the Lin family's house.
He Zhilan waved to them, saying, "Thank you all for taking good care of my second sister. I'll definitely have my husband come to thank you all another day!"
The villagers said, "Okay, okay! Don't worry, sister-in-law."
"no problem!"
Everyone responded very enthusiastically, not because they really wanted to help He Zhilan, but mainly because they were afraid of offending her husband.
Lin Qixia felt a pang of sadness seeing their attitude.
Even at this very beginning, the villainous nature of this family was already evident.
He Zhilan seemed completely unaware of the villagers' fear of her husband, and still maintained a humble demeanor.
But did she really not know?
Or is this a deliberate reminder to them?
After the oxcart drove away from the Lin family's courtyard, a voice rang out: "Hey, why are you doing this? Aren't He Shi's husbands both crippled?"
The speaker was Xue Yuchan, the daughter of the Xue family who had just fled to Xiahe Village.
At the same time, after looking at Lin Qixia, she didn't think there was anything about him that was scary.
"Yu Chan, please don't say anything!" Grandma Liu grabbed Xue Yu Chan's arm, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Li Shufen glanced at Lin Qixia cautiously, then tried to smooth things over to ease the awkwardness: "Yes, Yu Chan, how could you say that about your Uncle Lin? His leg injury is serious, but it's not as exaggerated as you say, is it? He might be fine any day now."
Xue Yuchan knew they were afraid Lin Qixia would go back and complain, so she scoffed disdainfully, "A bunch of cowards! I heard Miss Gu say the day before yesterday that Lin Xiao is definitely not going to get better!"
"So, even if Lin Xiao is completely ruined!"
