Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: Spend a Few Years in Prison!

"You all... quit your yammering, just answer me this, are you giving the silver or not? Now that Changfeng has made something of himself, those five taels of silver are nothing to you, right? Just give us the silver, and we’ll leave immediately, or else... hmph!"

Her aged eyes narrowed as she looked over at Lin Changfeng.

"Don’t blame us when we leave this place, and that unfilial wretch Lin Changfeng can forget about ever going to the Imperial City again! In-laws, you should know well enough that whether it’s the winner of examination or a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, one’s reputation is of utmost importance."

At these words, Lu Qiubo took a deep breath, and beside her, Yang Lin widened her eyes, hardly able to believe that these were her own relatives!

"Mother, how can you use Changfeng’s future to threaten us? He..."

She staggered toward Old Madam Yang, reaching out to grab her arm, but was sharply brushed off.

"Get lost!"

Old Madam Yang’s gaze on Yang Lin was as if she were looking at a heap of trash.

"What’s wrong with five taels of silver? Can your broken family not even come up with that amount? I’ve seen enough. Just that ox in your cattle shed, it’s worth five taels of silver alone. If you can’t come up with the money, we might just lead that ox away ourselves!"

"You..."

Yang Lin’s mouth hung open; she was speechless.

"We’re not like you, with a heart so black you can actually say those words out loud. A hundred and eighty taels—you might as well go rob someone!" Old Madam Yang continued, seeing that she remained silent.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I did not hear that wrong, did I?"

At this moment, Lin Caisang, who had been quietly observing, couldn’t help but stand up.

It seemed that this family was not something ordinary people could handle. Not content with squeezing silver out of them, they even wanted to put a price on the old ox at home. This time it was the old ox, but what about next time? Did they want them to sell the house and hand over the silver for them to spend?

"Madam, while Third Aunt is married into the Lin Family, she’s only married into the third branch of the family. That old ox belongs to the first branch of the family. If you want to take it, no problem at all, go ahead and take it."

She shrugged her shoulders, appearing indifferent.

"Really?"

Old Madam Yang’s eyes lit up, unable to discern the sincerity in the words.

"Really."

Lin Caisang nodded affirmatively.

"Please feel free to take it, no issue at all. However, once you lead this old ox away, I’ll head straight to the county yamen to file a complaint and have the authorities arrest you thieves, one by one, to spend a few years in the big jail!"

Her eyes narrowed fiercely as she swept her cold gaze over them, articulating every word.

They must really think the Lin Family is easy to bully, huh? Third Aunt came from the Yang Family, so she couldn’t say much and could only play the victim. Brother Changfeng is their grandchild; he couldn’t say anything either.

But she could; strictly speaking, she had absolutely nothing to do with this family!

"You—"

The moment she heard the words "big jail", Old Madam Yang immediately stepped back.

In these times, everyone feared dealing with officials, and she was no exception; having to go through the county yamen, even if she wasn’t locked up, would surely cost her half her life!

"Mother, do you believe her nonsense? She’s just a girl, what can she possibly do? Let’s lead that old ox away, how can she do anything to us?" The moment he saw his mother faltering, Second Uncle Yang immediately spoke up.

Whatever it was, they couldn’t make this trip for nothing today.
