Chapter 448: Chapter 448 - Evil Will Grind Evil(4)_1

"Such a person, calling them cheap is an understatement. If it were someone else who sold their step-daughter, they wouldn’t have the nerve to show up again. Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin passed away several years ago, and they only show up now, hahaha, claiming they just got the news. I bet they only just found out that the Lin family has become rich." Another young man added with a smirk.

"In our Daqin, there’s a law. Anybody sold has no connection with their original family."

...

The villagers purposefully angered the He family with all kinds of harsh words.

"Get lost!" The old lady, bombarded by insults, suddenly became unhappy. She abruptly got up from the ground and glared at the villagers, "I’m here to see my grandson, what’s that got to do with you people? What about selling a daughter? When a daughter gets married, doesn’t the bride’s family ask for a dowry? The He family’s daughter is attractive, so what if we asked the Lin family for some extra dowry? Regardless, their kid is our grandson, no matter where we go, that’s an unbreakable bond." The old lady was indeed fierce, quickly finding an argument that favored herself.

"Even if the elders have made some mistakes, how can the younger generation hold it against them? Disrespecting elders is punishable by law, and cursed by the heavens." An Family had their eyes set on the courtyard ahead.

"Mom, will we be living in this big courtyard from now on?" An Family’s two children asked in envy as they admired the courtyard.

"Mmm, we will be moving into the courtyard to look after your grandmother." He Nian replied as if it was a given.

The people of Shili Village had never seen such shameless people. Everyone was glaring at the He family with murderous looks.

However, the He family, blinded by greed, didn’t notice the hostility of the villagers.

"You all better bring the stuff and follow me into the house." The old Mrs. He glared at He Bang, and naturally issued her orders.

When the village crowd saw how shameless she was, they gasped in surprise.

The old woman ignored the public opinion, leading the way towards the Lin family’s main entrance with her head held high.

It wasn’t that she was brave and fearless of Bai Jincheng, it was just that she had a twisted logic. Now that the Lin family had become prominent, they certainly cared about their image. They would not dare touch her, an elderly woman, in the presence of so many villagers. On the other hand, if Lin’s servants actually dared to lay a hand on her, she could take the injury to the government offices and sue Lin Changshu for being disrespectful and unfilial.

No matter which way she looked at it, Mrs. He thought it worked in her favor.

Bai Jincheng and the others barricaded the main entrance, but no one dared to raise a hand. Given that Elder Lin was present, they could not dare to make a move.

"Why are you all here?" Just as the old lady was persistently harassing them, He Dingyu arrived. She was with a group of village girls, her face twisted in anger.

"You brat, who are you talking to?" On seeing her niece, who was of similar age, He Lian immediately got on her nerves. Especially considering He Dingyu now dressed and ate well in the Lin family, her complexion had improved and her face had become rounder, giving off a delicate and attractive aura.

He Lian, reflecting on her own dark skin and sturdy build, felt jealousy spreading like wildfire. She rushed over to He Dingyu in a few strides, cursing dirtily, "You little wretch! Don’t you know how to greet your elders and yet you dare disrespect them. Let’s see how I teach you a lesson."

With that said, she lifted her hand, ready to slap He Dingyu in the face.
