?Chapter 205: Chapter 205: The Showdown(6)_1 Chapter 205: Chapter 205: The Showdown(6)_1 Wailing and explaining to the villagers at the same time, she hoped to gain some sympathy.
Ma Zhicai’s face was ashen, his pig-like face looking monstrous. Amid the contempt of everyone, he also kept explaining, “When I saw the child rushing over, I was just worried about his safety, not whether he was in the middle of the road or at the side. Don’t wrongly accuse me.”
Unfortunately, whether he was wronged or not was no longer up to him to decide, as could be seen from the angry stares of the villagers. In the countryside, breaking up a couple’s unions is considered a sin punishable by divine wrath, not to mention this young man who was trying to take advantage of the situation by pretending to be a lifesaver to trick his way into a marriage with the Lin Family. Thankfully, Lin Ziyin was smart enough to not be deceived by him.
“Beat this brat to death.” Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou were so angry that they wanted to thrash the person in question.
“Forget it, we’ve done enough beating and vented enough anger. Sister, just think of it as getting licked by a dog. You were so foolish just now, shedding tears over a person like him, was it worth it?” Lin Ziyin scolded Lin Zige.
Upon hearing this, Ma Zhicai was furious to the point of nearly dying. Lin Ziyin dared to compare him to a dog? His face reddened with embarrassment, “Lin Ziyin, I saved a life out of goodwill, and your Lin Family…”.
He stubbornly tried to save face, but before he could finish his sentence, Lin Ziyin threw him a cold glance. The pitch-black pupils were devoid of any warmth, frightening him into silence.
“Go on, why did you stop spinning your tale?” Lin Zige asked coldly.
“You think you can just get away with this after beating up a person? It’s not that simple. Didn’t you hear my son say that he forgot to move because he was too focused on saving someone’s life? This can’t be let off easily. Lou Zheng, you mustn’t be biased.” The Yan lady panicked when she saw the Lin Family preparing to go into their house. She abruptly got up from the ground and ran in front of Lou Zheng.
Lou Zheng was startled by her actions and became even more annoyed after hearing her words, “What do you intend to do then?”
The Lins have injured a person, they must pay in silver. Five hundred taels of silver, not a single tael less.” The Yan lady made clear of her intentions.
Five hundred taels? The villagers’ eyes widened upon hearing this. Everyone looked at the Yan lady as if she was a fool. Five hundred taels could buy a hundred people, and yet she dared to ask for such a sum. Moreover, it was the Ma Family who started it all, causing the Lin Family to retaliate. To put it bluntly, in the countryside, it was the Ma Family who deserved the beating.
“If the Lin Family refuses to pay, we will make an official complaint.” Yan snapped.
“Go ahead, I’m not afraid of you complaining. Honestly, I don’t have time to waste on a lawsuit with dogs. Otherwise, why would you think we let you off so easily?” Lin Ziyin laughed coldly at Yan lady, “Do not think that because you’re a bitch you can bite anyone you want.”
“Miss, would you like me to notify the county government about this?” the manager in black suddenly asked with a faint smile.
The furious Ma Family lost their arrogance upon hearing this. That’s right, how could they forget that there was a divine being from the Wang Residence here?
“Ziyin.” Although Lou Zheng detested the Ma Family, he still didn’t want Lin Ziyin to escalate matters to the officials. After all, if today’s incident were to blow up, it would not bode well for the reputation of the entire village. “Can we consider this matter to be over since the person has already been punished?”
“Ziyin.” Aunt Bai hesitated to support Lou Zheng. She was not speaking up for the Ma Family, but was worried about the reputation of Zige if the issue escalated.
“For the sake of Lou Zheng and everyone here, I’ll let you off this time. But if I hear any rumors that are detrimental to the Lin Family, don’t think that I’m afraid of stirring up trouble.” Lin Ziyin looked at Yan coldly.
