Da Feng looked at Lin Piaoxue, her face filled with boundless hatred, and said loudly, "Lin Piaoxue, my father is indeed a bastard, but you shouldn't have vented your resentment on Er Feng. She is so innocent. While you hate my father, we hate you too."
"There are so many young and beautiful girls in the village, even Qinghuan is a hundred times prettier than you. Why has my father never made a move on her? It's because she knows how to avoid suspicion. Unlike you, who, as long as the other person is a man, will exude your seductive charm and call them brother or uncle affectionately. You wish that all the men in the world would be captivated by you and become your devoted followers."
"Neither Erfeng nor I are as pretty as you, and my father's reputation isn't good either, but we still have people coming to propose marriage to us. That's because we respect ourselves and keep our distance from men."
"You, Lin Piaoxue, think too highly of yourself, yet no one has come to propose marriage to you. That's because they're worried that if they marry you, you'll cheat on them. My father is indeed no good, but you're no good woman either."
After finishing her sentence, Lin Dafeng knelt down in front of Grandpa Lin and said in a sobbing voice, "My mother is in poor health, and my two younger brothers are still young. I beg you to show mercy and let him go."
As Lin Dafeng spoke, she kowtowed deeply to Grandpa Lin.
No one spoke; everyone watched as Lin Dafeng kowtowed, once, twice, three times, until her forehead bled.
Seeing Lin Erfeng's attempt to feign injury, Lin Piaoxue said with an icy expression, "If kowtowing can heal the wounds on my face and wake my mother up, I'd be willing to kowtow myself to death."
A cold glint flashed across Lin Dafeng's eyes, disappearing in an instant. She then looked up at Lin Piaoxue and saw that Lin Piaoxue had also knelt down.
Lin Dafeng's pupils contracted slightly. What did Lin Piaoxue want?
Lin Piaoxue knelt on the ground and loudly proclaimed to the incense offerings of the Lin family, "Ancestors of the Lin family above, please open your eyes and give me justice, so that those who have wronged and humiliated me may receive the retribution they deserve."
As Lin Oupiaoxue spoke, she slammed her head heavily on the ground, even harder than Lin Dafeng, and everyone who saw it felt sorry for her.
Grandpa Lin's face showed admiration. This granddaughter was smart and ruthless. If she used her intelligence for good, she would have a bright future!
Lin Dafeng stood up, looked at Grandpa Lin and asked, "Do you still stand by what you just said?"
"What did you say?" Grandpa Lin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Pay me money, and I'll cripple my father's hand," Lin Dafeng said.
Grandpa Lin knew that Lin Erfeng had died innocently, and he didn't want to go too far, so he said, "It's settled."
Lin Dafeng saw the carrying pole in the corner, walked over and picked it up. Lin Fusheng's lips trembled as he asked, "Dafeng, are you really going to cripple your father's hand?"
"Grandpa, do you have any other ideas?" Lin Dafeng asked, her eyes red.
Lin Fusheng closed his eyes in frustration; he had no way to solve the predicament he was facing.
If Lin Yu hadn't intended to rape Lin Piaoxue, none of this would have happened. Erfeng wouldn't have died, and Lin Yu would have bitten Lin Piaoxue's face, disfiguring her. The Lin family would never have let that go.
It's because he failed to raise his son properly!
Lin Da walked over to Lin Yu with a carrying pole in his hand. "Dad, if you go to jail, people will look down on us. It will have a big impact on my brother's future. He can't join the army, and no family will be willing to marry their daughter to him."
"Father, your daughter is unfilial and will have to trouble you."
Lin Yu closed his eyes and, suppressing his fear, said, "Da Feng, go ahead and hit me! Father won't blame you."
Lin Erfeng gritted her teeth and swung the carrying pole hard at Lin Yu's wrist.
Lin Yu's family members turned their heads away, unable to bear watching what was about to happen.
Grandpa Lin's eyes flickered. This Lin Erfeng first used a self-inflicted injury ruse, and now she chose to cripple Lin Yu's hand. She is truly decisive and clever.
Li Lan stopped Lin Dafeng and took the carrying pole from her. "You're a girl. Breaking your own father's hand won't do you any good for your reputation. Let your mother do it."
Lin Dafeng felt bitter. Lin Yu was already infamous, so what reputation did she have left? No good family would want to marry her, and she had decided to never get married.
Grandpa Lin knew that if he hit Lin Yu's family with the carrying pole, they would become sworn enemies. It's better to resolve enmity than to create it. It's better to be lenient and forgiving, and make a good relationship.
"Wait, I can give you another option," Grandpa Lin said.
The Lin family was overjoyed, only hoping that Grandpa Lin's conditions wouldn't be too harsh.
"What are your requirements? Please tell me?" Lin Dafeng asked.
Grandpa Lin asked, "Has she been betrothed to someone?"
Lin Dafeng replied, "No."
Grandpa Lin asked again, "Is there someone you like?"
Lin Dafeng frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "No."
Grandpa Lin pointed to the three Lin brothers, "None of the three brothers are married. You can choose one! Your father's matter will be forgiven."
Lin Dafeng was stunned, unable to understand why Grandpa Lin would make such a condition.
She was of average appearance, from a poor family, and had a notorious father. The Lin family now owned a small shop and had a wealthy grandfather. The three Lin brothers could marry any kind of wife they wanted, so why did they choose her and let her pick whatever she wanted?
The three Lin brothers were stunned for a moment, but they didn't say anything. They trusted their grandfather's judgment.
The village chief and the village party secretary looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering how things had suddenly escalated to the point of discussing marriage.
Lin Piaoxue could hardly believe her ears and shouted, "Grandpa!"
"Shut up! My decision is none of your business to question," Grandpa Lin scolded.
Lin Piaoxue stomped her foot and stormed into her room in anger.
Lin's father frowned. They had a grudge against Lin Yu's family. Could Lin Dafeng really let go of her hatred?
Moreover, it's impossible for him and Lin Yu to coexist peacefully. Wasn't his father making that decision putting him in a difficult position?
Mr. Lin was worried about his unconscious wife. He glanced at Mr. Lin helplessly and went back to his room to take care of his wife.
What kind of mess is this?!
How did we end up becoming in-laws with our enemies? This is a complete mess!
Li Lan walked to Lin Dafeng's side, took her hand and said, "Dafeng, if you don't want to, don't force yourself. Let them break your father's hand. That way, he can stop flirting with women and harming people everywhere."
“Mom, I’m already doing well to marry one of the three Lin brothers. I’m not wronged,” Lin Dafeng said.
Grandpa Lin said loudly, "I have one more request: Lin Yu can never enter the Lin family's gate in his entire life, your future children can never call him maternal grandfather, and after you marry into the family, you must put your husband's family first in everything. My Lin family doesn't want a daughter-in-law who betrays her family."
