Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Picked Up a Strange Child (1)_1 Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Picked Up a Strange Child (1)_1 Having said that, she glanced around at the spectators and pointed at the man lying on the ground, cautioning them, “Aunts and uncles, elders, you had better stay away from this big liar.

What he is best at is framing people and extorting silver.

Nobody in our village pays him any mind.

He doesn’t even take care of his own mother, spending his days trying to snatch silver from his younger brother, who has already separated households, and he almost sold his only daughter to the brothel!”

As soon as Lin Yuan’s words came out, the onlookers began to condemn Lin Dashuan, who was lying on the ground.

By now, Lin Dashuan was at a complete loss for words, and no matter how much he tried to defend himself, no one believed him anymore.

After all, compared to the apparently harmless and pretty young girl, he looked like a shameless rascal, especially after having demanded silver and pretending to be dead on the ground.

And since even his own mother had previously bashed him with a stool, people were even more inclined to believe Lin Yuan.

Those who had initially claimed that Old Iron Head hadn’t hit anyone were now vigorously defending him.

Even the few men who had initially believed Lin Dashuan now blushed with shame and angrily called Lin Dashuan a scoundrel before retreating back into the crowd.

Some kind-hearted people started to chase away the crowd, while some aunts and elder women helped Gui Zhi’s sister-in-law tidy up her smashed liangpi stall.

Seeing the tide had turned, Lin Dashuan scrambled up from the ground, glared fiercely at Lin Yuan, clutched his head, and ran off.

As he ran, he cursed her inwardly, furious that not only had she embarrassed him in front of so many people, but he also hadn’t managed to get even a copper coin from his younger brother.

He had now chalked up the whole debacle to Lin Yuan, the Little Disaster Star.

“Alright, alright, that’s enough, let’s all disperse.

We’re not doing business anymore today, ah!

But do come back tomorrow,” called out Little Iron Head as he helped pick up chairs and basins from the stall, thanking the aunts and elder women who had offered a hand, while also shooing away the onlookers.

Gui Zhi’s sister-in-law had been busy consoling her sobbing mother-in-law and only now had a chance to thank Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan sighed deeply and said resolutely, “Sister-in-law, didn’t I tell you?

Your eldest brother-in-law is a worthless man!

It would’ve been fine if he just came to ask for silver, but he caused such a scene, no better than his wife!

Got off easy this time because it happened in town.

But if it had been in our village?

You know what the people in our village are like.

If he’d made a fuss there, how would you and Auntie Three expect to show your faces again?”

It wasn’t just Auntie Three and her mother-in-law who were affected, but Lin Ershuan too.

With an elder brother slandering his wife and mother like this, Lin Ershuan would surely tear his older brother apart if he found out!

Gui Zhi’s sister-in-law understood this as well, but, after all, that was her mother-in-law’s own son and her husband’s elder brother.

The mother-in-law could berate him, and the husband could curse him, but she, as the daughter-in-law, must not; otherwise, outsiders would surely label her a malicious daughter-in-law sowing discord.

By then, even if she were in the right, she would be seen as wrong.

Gui Zhi’s sister-in-law glanced stealthily at her mother-in-law and gestured for Lin Yuan to lower her voice.

After all, that was her son, and she was likely even more heartbroken and distressed at this moment.

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly once more, lamenting that Gui Zhi’s sister-in-law really did her duty as a daughter-in-law to the fullest, comparing her to Xiao He’s mother, she thought they were worlds apart.

Could it truly be said that certain men are matched with certain wives?

With the bowls and dishes mostly smashed, Gui Zhi would have to buy more from the general store and also pre-order the wheat flour that Lin Yuan had requested.

So she thought about asking the tired Auntie Three to take the frightened Xiao Shitou to the city gate to find Lin Fugui and head home.

However, she worried that Lin Dashuan, in his anger, might be waiting at home to cause trouble, so she dared not let them stay alone in the house.

Fortunately, Lin Ershuan was in the village, although…
