Chapter 349: Chapter 349: A Brand New Machine (3)_1

Yan Family’s wife was annoyed with Lin Family, but she still listened to Ma Zhicai. After standing up, she glared angrily at Lin Ziyin and snorted, "Some people, black-hearted and lunged, will be struck by thunder sooner or later."

Everyone saw she had just cried and begged Lin’s old master moments ago, but her face had changed so quickly. Everyone looked at her with disdain.

"Oh, your own son screwed up by randomly reporting others, ignoring the feelings of fellow villagers. Being detained by the county magistrate now, how can you blame the Lin Family? Let me tell you, the most black-hearted people, aren’t they the Ma Family?" Mrs. Pang twisted her body to speak.

"Mrs. Zhou is correct." Some people agreed.

It was unexpected that Zhou Dasheng’s wife, Mrs. Pang, would stand up to defend the Lin Family. After all, as Me. Lin’s left neighbour, she used to oppress the Lin Family the most.

"We are black-hearted, but who occupied Lin’s vegetable garden? Originally, the boundary between your two families was the big poplar tree in the middle. Why did your land grow legs and run to Lin’s side? You occupied a whole ridge of Lin’s land, your heart must be pitch black!" When Yan saw even Mrs. Pang dared to belittle her family, she quickly fought back angrily.

"Indeed. The Zhou family did occupy Lin’s land."

"One ridge of land is not a small amount."

...

The public opinion in the village began to sway again.

Lin Ziyin and his old master stood silently, letting Yan and Mrs. Pang argue.

"I just thought it would be a pity if the Lin’s vacant plot were left as it is," Mrs. Pang said sheepishly, "If Lin family still want to plant, I’ll return it to them."

Everyone was stunned again. How unexpected! The village’s most ruthless person was actually willing to regurgitate what she had swallowed.

"You, on the other hand, are just a back-stabber who clings to Lin’s family when they are wealthy and kicks them when they’re down. Now that you see Lin family is advancing, you want to latch onto them, don’t you?" Mrs. Pang scornfully looked at Yan, who was turning pale, "Your son is a worthless scum, and so are you. Everyone be careful, we should keep away from the Ma family, you never know when they might fabricate a crime and report us to the government offices."

"Auntie, please mind your language," Ma Zhicai was angry and annoyed. As a man, he absolutely could not quarrel with Mrs. Pang in front of everyone. Now he was experiencing the frustration the Lin’s old master had earlier.

"Mind what? Being a tongsheng is a big deal? It’s nothing more than being a tongsheng, whether or not you’ll become a scholar in the next round is unknown." To make a good impression on Lin Ziyin, Mrs. Pang made an all-out effort to criticize the Ma family.

"You’re talking nonsense." As her favourite son was involved, Yan almost went mad. She suddenly rushed up to Mrs. Pang and reached out her hands, directly clutching at her face.

Mrs. Pang, a notorious termagant in their village, wouldn’t be afraid of her. This pair appeared to be evenly matched; scratching and slapping each other, putting on a fiery scene.

The villagers watching the excitement also started cheering, "The black-hearted should be beaten."

"Shameless people should be hit."

...

Ma Zhicai wished he could vanish in the crowd of cheering villagers—this was too humiliating. As a scholar, how could he stand such shame? Why did his old lady not consider his public image at all?

However, if he, as a son, simply walked away while his mom was fighting, he would probably garner even more scorn.
