Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Isn’t the Ox Being Led Away Anymore?

Shouldn’t you at least wait until Lin Changfeng goes to the imperial city to attend the imperial examinations next year before you come knocking?

By then, you could benefit from Changfeng’s success. Coming now, are you here to share in the glory or to kick us while we’re down? Do you really hope that Changfeng’s family would be squeezed dry by you, leaving them with no future prospects, to make you happy?"

"You... you’re talking nonsense! We’ve never thought that way!" Old Madam Yang was immediately displeased upon hearing these words.

But then she thought about it, if Lin Changfeng really made something of himself, given the past, could he really treat the Yang Family well? Who knows what he might do to them then?

With that thought, she figured it might be better if Lin Changfeng remained unsuccessful!

"Whether you have thought that way or not, this old man has no interest in knowing."

Clan Chief Lin glanced indifferently at Old Mr. Yang and Old Madam Yang.

"However, the third branch of the Lin Family can only rely on Lin Baiyi’s carpentry to earn a few meager coins. It’s impossible for you to get any money from them; they are still figuring out where to borrow money to support Changfeng!"

"This..."

Old Mr. Yang took another look at Yang Lin’s clothes, all patched up.

He couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that the people of the Lin Family were really so impoverished? That old ox, it belonged to the Lin Family... no, correction, he had just heard Lin Changfeng say the Lin Family had divided their household, and the third branch now belonged to Lin Baiyi.

So, that old ox wasn’t a part of Lin Baiyi’s family, but belonged to the first branch of the family?

Could it be that Lin Baiyi’s family is now in dire poverty?

"Hmph, Lin Baiyi, you coward, I thought you were a decent man when I gave you my daughter, but who knew you’d be so useless. I misjudged you!"

He cursed Lin Baiyi roundly.

Lin Baiyi simply curled his lip and muttered to himself.

If you hadn’t misjudged me, then I would be the one crying now; you would have cleaned out our home.

"What are you standing around for? Let’s get going!"

Old Mr. Yang looked at his sons and then at Old Madam Yang, and after speaking to them, prepared to leave.

"Dad, we’re just leaving like this? Not taking the ox?" Second Uncle Yang was still eyeing that old ox, thinking that even without money, it’d be fine to take the ox away, as it could at least be sold for a few silver coins.

"Take it my foot!" Old Mr. Yang glared fiercely at his second son.

Haven’t you heard? That ox doesn’t belong to Lin Baiyi’s household, but to the first branch of the Lin Family.

That girl speaking just now clearly wasn’t someone to mess with, that presence was no lie. If they really took that ox away, they might indeed end up getting sued in the county court.

He had no intention of ending up in jail at his age.

"Wait, wait up!"

Old Madam Yang saw her family leaving and wanted to catch up.

But thinking of the dried fruits she saw in the main hall, she swallowed her saliva, quickly dashed into the hall, dumped the dried fruits from the bowl into her bosom, covered it with both hands, and hurried out of the yard to chase after her family.

Everyone: "..."

This really was a family that only took without giving, taking even such small things with them.

"Phew!"

Yang Lin watched his parents and brothers leave, raised his hand to wipe his face, and let out a heavy sigh.
