Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Do They Still Have Face?

The old man from the clan is such a troublemaker, always following Clan Chief Ya around, thinking he’ll hand over his position to him. Why on earth would Clan Chief Ya give his position away to him? Just because he has a big face?

"Sister Qiubo, you can’t say that. Sure, there are some gossips in the village, but not everyone is like that. You can’t just dismiss everyone, can you?"

Clan Chief Lin hurriedly said with a smile.

Having heard these words, only then did Lin Caisang understand. It turns out that it was because of all the rumors spread around the village these days that had made her Grandpa and Grandma upset.

"Can you do me a favor, please, and let them continue to use the water. I’ve already told the villagers that from now on, they will have to pay two coins a day to use water. Consider it a lesson for them. Let’s give them a break."

Clan Chief Lin continued.

"Two coins a day?"

Lin Caisang didn’t seem to care about anything else; all she heard were the two coins from Clan Chief Lin. It seemed that Clan Chief Lin had calculated this long ago, knowing that her Grandpa and Grandma would pull such a stunt.

Even how to punish the gossipy women in the village had already been thought out.

"Clan Chief Lin, wouldn’t raising the fee for using water suddenly cause disagreement among the villagers?" she asked.

She shouldn’t end up being deeply resented, all because of just one coin a day. That would be a loss that’s more than the gain. Moreover, she hadn’t even received that silver yet.

"What complaints could they have? If they have something to say, let them ask those gossipy folks for it!" Clan Chief Lin said.

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang didn’t ask anything more.

Although charging an extra coin might bring some unfavorable effects, the village never stopped its idle gossip about her. She naturally won’t really take those people’s words to heart.

"Granny, since Clan Chief has put it this way, I believe the villagers have learned their lesson, and they will not spread rumors again. Let’s just leave it at that." She looked at Lu Qiubo and persuaded her.

"How could we do that?"

Lu Qiubo was still somewhat displeased.

She couldn’t just let those people spout nonsense about her precious granddaughter for nothing. She couldn’t swallow that kind of insult.

She was quivering all over with rage when she first heard those words. She felt like she was about to suffocate. And now, the clan chief says a few placating words and she’s expected to let it go? Wouldn’t the villagers think the Lin Family is too easygoing?

"No, Clan Chief, we absolutely cannot let this slide. If the villagers want to use the water, fine, but they must come and apologize to my Sangsang. Otherwise, there’s no water for them!"

They need to understand exactly how formidable she is, otherwise such incidents would happen more frequently in the future.

"Apologize?"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Lin Caisang’s mouth.

"Granny, do they really need to apologize? We’re all villagers; it feels weird having elders apologize to me..."

Besides, she was a busy person, always on the go. When would she have the spare time to listen to each villager apologize one by one?

"Elders? What kinds of elders are they to talk ill of our Lin Family behind our backs? Have they no shame? Since they’ve lost face anyway, what’s the big deal about an apology? An apology could be considered let off lightly for them!"

Lu Qiubo refused to back down and asserted loudly.

Lin Caisang: "..."

Alright, whatever Granny says will be whatever it is. As long as she can cool down, she doesn’t really care about what the others do.
