Lin Mingliang shouted back angrily, “Hey, what’s wrong with you? You have turned the story around, and now you’re accusing my father. You’re really shameless!”
“How are we shameless?” Zhou Lin refused to be outdone. “Your father didn’t say anything about the jinx. If he did, then get someone to prove it!”
Lin Yiwei sized up Zhou Ping’s family and frowned deeply. It seemed that Zhou Ping’s family was going to blame him for Zhou Ping’s broken leg no matter what.
Lin Yiwei thought about this and sighed deeply. ‘What is wrong? Trouble keeps ing to my family recently.’
Lin Yiwei didn’t want to argue. He asked, “what do you want me to do?”
!!
“pensate us!” Zhou Lin immediately said.
“pensate you with what?” Lin Mingliang was extremely angry at Zhou Ping’s family’s unreasonable behavior. “What does your family matter have to do with my father?”
“How is it not related? If he had said from the start that the jinx of your village would be the one to buy my family’s land, then my family wouldn’t have sold the land no matter how desperate we were,” Zhou Lin argued, “Therefore, you have to bear a lot of responsibility! You must pensate us!”
“Bullshit!” Lin Mingliang said angrily, “What kind of twisted logic is this? My father was kind enough to introduce you to buyers, but now his kindness has been turned into ill intent. What happened to your father had nothing to do with my father!”
Lin Mingliang was more impulsive than Lin Mingqing. But their family stuck together.
Now that these people were bullying his father, as the eldest son, he had to stand up for his father.
Lin Mingliang was strong and fierce. Zhou Lin faltered for a moment. But when he thought of the silver, his courage returned. He sneered, “I don’t care. The truth is your father caused the jinx to curse my family. So, you have to take responsibility for this!”
Lin Mingliang was so angry that he wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by Lin Yiwei. Lin Yiwei asked calmly, “tell me, what pensation do you want?”
They were clearly there to make trouble.
Zhou Lin and his mother’s eyes lit up. Then, Zhou Lin said, “100 taels for the damage to my family’s land, 50 taels for my father’s medical expenses, and 50 taels for the mental damage to my family. It’s not much. Just 200 taels will do.”
With these two hundred taels of silver, he could continue to gamble.
When Lin Mingliang heard this astronomical figure, he was so angry that his face turned green. He roared, “why don’t you guys go and rob? Two hundred taels, do you think that money falls from the sky into my family?”
Zhou Lin retorted, “Your father promised to pensate us.”
“Bullshit,” Lin Mingliang stomped his feet. “When did my father say that?” If they really gave them two hundred taels, their entire family would have to starve. “Lan ‘Er bought your fields. Instead of finding her, you came to my father for money. Do you really think that the Lin family is easy to bully?” Lin Mingliang was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
“That’s right!” A clear girl’s voice came from the distance, “Since I, Lin Yuelan, bought your family’s land, and you’re certain that I cursed your father, you should e to me for pensation. Why are you troubling Grandpa Village Chief?”
The moment they heard Lin Yuelan’s voice, the villagers reflexively made way for her. Then, they looked at Lin Yuelan, who was slowly walking toward them, with fear on their faces.
When Lin Yuelan heard that Zhou Ping’s family had e to the Lin Family Village, she had an idea what they were up to.
They were going to make something out of her reputation as the jinx. They wouldn’t really let her plant the fields, and they didn’t dare to face her directly, so they thought of ways to push the blame on Lin Yiwei.
Seeing Lin Yuelan, Zhou Lin and his mother seemed to be instinctively afraid, especially when they saw the fierce-looking man with a black scar on his face.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan walked to Lin Yiwei’s side. Lin Yuelan said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Grandpa Village Chief. I’ve caused you trouble!”
