Chapter 87 This is what you deserve
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" He Luan'er never expected that her covert actions could be seen by others, but she knew that she could not admit it no matter what. Once she admitted it, not to mention escaping the fate of her previous life and finding a good family, even ordinary families would not want her.

"You two are in collusion. Lin Xin gave you money to say this, right?" He Luan'er said even louder.

"No, we didn't take any money. It was you who pushed Sister Lin Xin. We all saw it." A child jumped up and shouted loudly, the blue veins on his neck bulging high.

He Luan'er narrowed her eyes, then suddenly smiled. She looked at the child and said, "You're still saying you didn't take Lin Xin's money. Your mother is dying of illness! Is she using this as an excuse to convince you to slander me?"

The child's name was Zhang Zhu. His father died early, and he had a mother who was chronically ill. He also had younger brothers and sisters. His family was recognized as a poor one in the village. After hearing what He Luan'er said, everyone's eyes fell on him again.

"You're talking nonsense," another child stood up. "We haven't received Sister Lin Xin's money yet, so we didn't slander you. It was you who pushed Sister Lin Xin, and we all saw it." He turned to the young man who had just stood with him and said, "Brother Zhi, you saw it too, right?"

The young man, Zhao Zhi, choked for a moment, but still took a step forward and said, "Yes, I did see it."

"Impossible, since you saw it, why didn't you say it just now?" He Luan'er was a little panicked. She could casually say that Zhang Zhu was slandering him, but she didn't dare to say that to Zhao Zhi, because Zhao Zhi's wife was a well-known fierce woman in the village, who would dare to chop people with a kitchen knife when she got angry.

"Why would I do this?" Zhao Zhi looked at her like she was stupid. "There are already three witnesses. Why would I come out?"

Everyone thought his words were sound, but Lin Xin curled her lips, suppressing a smile as she took out another silver ingot. She walked over to Zhao Zhi and handed him all four ingots. "I'm a man of my word. Anyone who can prove that He Luan'er pushed me will receive a ten-liang silver reward. This is for the four of you. Keep it for now and divide it among them later!"

"Ah, this..." Zhao Zhi, who had been calm just now, blushed all of a sudden. He did not stand up because he saw that Lin Xin only had three silver ingots in her hand and there were also three witnesses.

"Take it! This is what you deserve, right, Sister Zhao?" Lin Xin looked up and waved to Zhao Zhi's wife in the crowd.

"That's right, Xin girl is right. This is what you deserve. Just take it." Zhao Zhi's wife Liu came over and took the four silver ingots from Lin Xin. She kept one for herself and gave one to each of the three people.

Now the villagers were inspired, and another six people stood up and said that they had just seen that it was indeed He Luan'er who pushed Lin Xin.

Looking at their flickering eyes, Lin Xin smiled sarcastically, "Thank you for your willingness to testify for me, but I have no money left, I'm really sorry!" The onlookers all laughed. The six people's faces first turned red, then turned black, and they pushed through the crowd dejectedly and left. One of the tall and strong men looked back at Lin Xin after leaving the crowd, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Lin Xin didn't take it to heart. She had seen many people like this in the end times. Even if they held a grudge, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were paper tigers.

Mo Ziyuan, who had been hiding in the crowd to avoid suspicion, also noticed the man's eyes. He glanced at Lin Xin and found that she didn't care much. He thought it would be better to mention it to her later. Although she has the ability, it is not uncommon for her to capsize in the gutter!
Suddenly he hated his current identity a little bit. How great it would be if he was just an ordinary person who settled in the village. He could totally... Thinking of this, he closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of incomparable determination. Wait, sooner or later he will make her his, definitely!
At this time, the old patriarch also arrived with the support of his son.

Also arriving were the patriarchs of the Liu and He clans.

Originally, Liulin Village only had two major surnames, Liu and Lin. Later, members of the He clan fled here to escape famine. After staying here for a while, they found that the people here were very friendly and the customs were very simple, so they decided to settle here and became the third largest surname in the village.

Seeing the He clan leader, He Luan'er felt as if she had found hope. She rushed over to him and cried, "Uncle clan leader, you have to help me. Lin Xin has teamed up with the villagers to slander me."

The head of the He family had a very sour look on his face. He had known what had happened on the way here. At the beginning, he was quite optimistic about the younger generation He Luan'er. After all, she could discuss marriage with the scholar in the town. If it really came to pass, their He family would have more say in the village.

But He Luan'er's subsequent behavior greatly disappointed him. Not only did the marriage proposal fail, but she also repeatedly came to cause trouble for Lin Xin. Didn't she know that Lin Xin had a father who could show his power? Even if she wasn't afraid, didn't she consider whether he, the clan leader, and his people were afraid?
Now, when the villagers mentioned Lin Xin and her brother, although they were not too afraid, they were always a little wary of them. To have offended such people, had her head been pinched by the door?
Now the situation is one-sided and almost settled, yet she still has the nerve to run up to him and cry. What does she want to do?
No matter what she wants to do, the He clan leader will never satisfy her.

Since no one from the Liu clan got involved, the patriarch of the Liu clan could just stand aside and watch the fun; the old patriarch of the Lin clan was already glaring at He Luan'er and the patriarch of the He clan.

Lin Xin looked at the smiling Liu clan leader and something clicked in her mind. She raised her voice and said, "He Luan'er, there are now four witnesses, and six just passed away. You still dare to say you're innocent? Moreover, you could do such a vicious thing in front of so many people, which shows how dark your heart is. You may have harmed me this time, but I'm capable of dealing with it. What if it was someone else? There aren't many people in the village who can handle wild boars!"

Even though someone had testified for Lin Xin earlier, everyone was just watching the fun. But Lin Xin's words made everyone's heart skip a beat. They all lived in the same village, so who knew each other's situation? How deep could the hatred between He Luan'er and Lin Xin be? She actually pushed someone into a wild boar's mouth. If anyone accidentally provoked her, who knew what insidious tricks she would use next time?
People are like this. When it doesn't involve themselves, they can just watch it as a fun thing. But once it becomes related to themselves, the nature of the matter changes.

As a result, everyone changed their attitude and began to criticize He Luan'er. Even the Liu clan leader, who had been aloof at first, stroked his beard and said, "Head of the clan, you still have to take good care of your people!"
