Lin Yuelan gave him a slight nod and said, “Grandpa Village Chief, he’s Nan Zhenjiang!” She introduced to him Jiang Zhennan’s fake name.
Lin Yiwei nodded in understanding. “Okay!”
‘It seems that the rumors of the God of War wearing a silver mask because his face is disfigured is true. However, the scar on his face doesn’t look scary at all. Why would the rumors say that the scar would make women faint and children cry?’
Lin Yiwei didn’t know that Lin Yuelan had started treatment on Jiang Zhennan’s face for a few days already. The scar had faded a lot. So, even if some black medicine was applied, Jiang Zhennan didn’t look that scary anymore.
Therefore, Lin Yuelan had already told Jiang Zhennan not to wear a mask anymore. The wound would need to be exposed to fresh air to heal.
Jiang Zhennan only gave Li Zheng a slight nod.
Lin Yuelan turned around and asked Zhou Lin and the others coldly, “you said that your father broke his leg because he sold your family’s land to me. You want compensation for it, right?”
Lin Yuelan’s terrifying aura was too strong. Zhou Lin, who usually only knew how to bully others, instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
“Yes!” He replied.
“The compensation for your family’s loss of land is 100 taels, your father’s medical expenses are 50 taels, and the compensation for your mental damage is 50 taels. In total, it’s 200 taels of silver, right?” Lin Yuelan repeated what Zhou Lin had said.
“Y-yes,” Zhou Lin stuttered.
......
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “logically speaking, your father broke his leg because I bought your family’s field. I should be responsible…”
“Yes, you should be responsible!” Zhou Lin immediately said.
However, Lin Yuelan sneered, and the smile on her face was full of sarcasm and contempt.
“Why should I?” She asked sharply.
Lin Yuelan’s words immediately silenced the noisy crowd.
Zhou Lin and his mother were even more stunned.
They thought that Lin Yuelan was willing to compensate them, which made them feel excited. They felt that their plan was perfect. However, when Lin Yuelan said that she was not going to pay, they were unable to react in time.
Zhou Lin quickly regained his senses. He was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed at Lin Yuelan and said, “you… You…” He stammered a few times, but he couldn’t get the words out.
Lin Yuelan continued, “If your parents didn’t sell me their land, do you think you can walk out of the gambling den without missing a limb? So don’t you think you should be thankful to me because I have allowed you to escape the gambling den unscathed?
“If I didn’t buy your family land, no one else would buy it. No one else will be able to buy all five Mu of the land. Then, you would be missing an arm and a leg now. So, does that mean I’m at fault for buying the land from your parents?”
Lin Yuelan’s words were confused. Some of the villagers were confused.
The clever ones understood Lin Yuelan. The Zhou family had to sell their land because their son owed money at the gambling den. Therefore, to save their son, Zhou Ping and his wife had to sell their lands. No one other than Lin Yuelan, who was introduced by Lin Yiwei, was able to provide them with the money to save their son right away. Therefore, they had to sell their land to Lin Yuelan. In other words, if Lin Yuelan didn’t buy their land, Zhou Lin would be missing a few limbs now. So what would that still be Lin Yuelan’s fault?
When Zhou Lin and his mother heard this, their eyes flashed with guilt and panic.
“Besides, have your father’s legs been broken by accident, or is it man-made?” Lin Yuelan’s sharp eyes stared at the guilty-looking Zhou Lin.
What did she mean?
The villagers were confused.
However, the guilty Zhou Lin’s face immediately turned pale. He shouted, “If it weren’t an accident, what did you think really happened? Do you think I broke my father’s legs?”
