Chapter 732: Chapter 732: What Exactly Do You Want to Do?

In his own yard, Lu Qiubo roared furiously, his voice so loud that probably many people living near Lin Family could hear him.

"Three, go and tell the Lin Clan Chief that they are not allowed to fetch water anymore. Also, let the four young wolves loose on Manghuang Mountain to guard the pond. I’d like to see who dares to fetch water again!"

"Well..."

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Lin Baiyi looked a little troubled and turned to look at his father.

However, he saw Lin Laogeng nodding at him, seeming to agree with Lu Qiubo’s intention of not letting the villagers use the water anymore.

"Dad, is this okay?"

"Why wouldn’t it be?!"

Before Lin Laogeng could speak, Lu Qiubo let out a roar.

"Those people are taking advantage of Sangsang and pouring dirty water on her. Does our Lin Family owe them something? Tell them, no one can use our Lin Family’s water anymore. Three, doesn’t Sangsang matter to you? Does it make you happy hearing what they say about her?"

"Of course not, mom, please calm down. I’ll get rid of them right away. Why wait till tomorrow? I’ll drive them away today." After his mother’s bombardment, Lin Baiyi went straight to Manghuang Mountain.

...

Not long after, four wolves suddenly sprang out at the edge of the pond at the foot of Manghuang Mountain, scaring away the people who came to fetch water. Some of the timid ones were so frightened that they dropped their buckets and ran off, scrambling and tumbling.

Some time later, the people who weren’t able to fetch water went to Clan Chief Lin and accused Lin Caisang of taking money and not letting them fetch water, claiming she was absolutely cruel.

But Clan Chief Lin was surprisingly calm and didn’t care about their complaints.

"What’s wrong? Your water-fetching money is deposited with me. Do you want to say I, as the Clan Chief of the Lin Clan, am too evil?" He asked those people.

He had also heard the gossip, wondering why the Lin family did nothing while the village gossips ran rampant.

Well, finally, today he got his response.

"Clan Chief, how could you say that? We paid for the water we fetched. What does it mean when Lin Caisang set the wolves loose?" A member of the Lin Clan stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, you paid for it?" Clan Chief Lin nodded slightly.

"In that case, today, who gave me the copper coins, I’ll see it in my ledger and return the money to you. This way, you can’t say I’m a cruel old man."

"What..."

Upon hearing Clan Chief Lin’s words, the people who came to complain were suddenly taken aback.

"Clan Chief, what do you mean? Are you saying we’re not allowed to fetch water from Lin Caisang’s place?" A man asked.

If they ran out of water at such a critical time when their crops were about to be harvested, wouldn’t their crops die of drought? Wasn’t the money previously paid for fetching water wasted?

"Clan Chief, we came to you hoping that you could ask Lin Caisang what she’s trying to do. Why did she suddenly stop us from fetching water? This doesn’t make any sense."

A man from Ya Clan asked.

"Sense?"

Clan Chief Lin tapped his pipe on the table and gave the man a cold smile.

"In my old man’s view, Sangsang has been more than kind to you lot. It seems that you all have got water and are so delighted at the prospect of a full meal next year, your brains are addled, right?"
