Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Malicious Attacks on Life!

"You, you..."

At this moment, Auntie Fang was too frightened to speak, just staring terrified at the black leopard next to Lin Caisang.

The dread of being so close to a beast that could rip her throat out at any moment was making her woozy; but those black eyes kept her from passing out.

"Lin Caisang, you’re not a blessing at all, you’re a devil!"

Her lips moved. No one else heard her, but Lin Caisang heard every word clearly.

"Oh, you just figured that out now?" Lin Caisang asked lightly, raising a thin smile in response.

She lifted her head to look at the others.

"Which of you doesn’t want to squeeze every penny out of me? Fine, don’t come for water at my place. This will save me some for irrigating my crops on Manghuang Mountain. And frankly, I really don’t care for the change in your pockets."

"However, I need to remind you all of a principle. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you want a wealthy life, you’ll have to pay for it. The reservoir on Manghuang Mountain was dug and paid for by me, hence, it’s mine. How I use the water is my business!"

"And if I decide not to share the water with you, none of you will get it!"

"From this episode, I’ve learned: the better I am to you, the greedier you become. From now on, I won’t be so accommodating. If anyone wants to come to my mountain for water, you’ll pay me one bronze coin per day per mu of your land..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words, the crowd began to shout in disbelief.

Even Clan Chief Lin was only talking about two bronze coins per day, but now it was one bronze coin per mu per day. Isn’t this a price hike?! If only they had known, they would have just pay two bronze coins per day instead of causing this ruckus.

"Of course, I, Lin Caisang, am not the kind to generalize. Chief, you’ve taken note of who came to stir things up at my home today, haven’t you? They’ll pay according to my new rules. For those who didn’t show up, the old price still applies: one bronze coin per day should suffice."

Lin Caisang turned to Clan Chief Lin, instructing him.

The crowd: "..."

In that instant, how they wished they could kill Auntie Fang.

If it weren’t for her instigation, would they ever have run to the Lin Family and caused such a disturbance? Now, not only had they failed to get what they wanted, but they also had to shell out substantial additional monies for absolutely nothing. They had no choice but to use the water. The additional money spent is completely wasted!

"Fine, I’ll take care of this." Clan Chief Lin nodded.

This should teach those people some manners. Otherwise, they might think they can get whatever they want just by throwing a tantrum.

"Clan Chief Lin..."

Everyone turned to the Clan Chief Lin, but saw he didn’t even glance their way. They had no choice but to look at Lin Caisang.

"Sangsang, this isn’t fair. Those rumors about you, it wasn’t just us who spread them, others did it too... It’s not fair that only we have to cough up so much money."

A few people, thinking that they should all suffer together, reminded Lin Caisang.

"In the village, who doesn’t gossip and backbite? Considering the words aren’t physically hurting anyone. But you folks, heeding Auntie Fang’s words, not only spread rumors about me, but also attacked me with malicious intentions!"
