While several people were talking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
Wang Yao hurried in:
"Go and take a look. The clan leader has brought people over to take over Lin Xiao's home! He also wants to drive Ni'er out!"
"What? Why are those old guys here?"
When the village chief heard this, his anger suddenly boiled out.
"These old guys are really shameless, they are always willing to add insult to injury!"
Lin Xiaowu also said angrily.
The clan leaders are a group of highly respected elders selected from the eighteen villages in Jiuzhou Town. They originally made decisions for the villagers, but gradually they became a group of hungry wolves who specialize in eating the poorest families!
In order to prevent them from becoming extinct, Lin Xiao's mother disguised Lin Xiao's daughter as a man. Unexpectedly, she was able to escape the first grade of junior high school.
I couldn't hide from Fifteen, but I still gave them a chance!
Several people followed Wang Yao and hurried back. Lin Xiao was not here, so they had to protect her home for her!
…
The large courtyard of Lin Xiao's house was now surrounded by villagers watching the fun.
Several clan leaders were sitting on the chairs in the main hall with expressionless faces, looking aloof.
Han Ruoshui stood aside holding Ni'er who was babbling, her face pale and tears still wet.
"Member of the Lin Xiao family, your head is no longer here, and you are so unhappy that you gave birth to a loser. How can you still have the nerve to occupy his family property? If you are wiser, pack your things immediately, take your loser and get out.
Otherwise, don’t blame us uncles for being rude!"
One of the clan leaders stood up and threatened fiercely.
His name is Xie Li, and he is the most virtuous and respected elder in Xiejia Village. He was a brave and capable warrior when he was young, but how could he know that the older he gets, the more pedantic he becomes, and he spends his whole day thinking about how to kill everyone!
Xie Li's words were not intended to arouse dissatisfaction among the people. Given their deep-rooted notion of men being superior to women, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Seeing that Han Ruoshui was unmoved, another clan leader acted as a peacemaker with a kind face:
"Lao Xie, you are too straightforward in your words. Aren't you bullying other people's orphans and widowed mothers?"
This patriarch is called Ma San. He is the patriarch of Majia Village. He is known as the Smiling Tiger. He is amiable on the surface, but in fact he is treacherous and sinister.
Xie Li curled his lips and rolled his eyes at him:
"Old Ma, you know nothing! If we don't take back Lin Xiao's huge family property, are we going to let this pair of losers lose everything?"
"Well, that's true..."
Ma San deliberately stroked his beard and looked like he was thinking:
"Lin Xiao's family, why not do this? You hand over all Lin Xiao's property, and we will give you a tael of silver. It's not like you can't live without finding a place."
A year ago, one tael of silver would have been a huge sum of money to the people of Linjia Village!
But now, one tael of silver is no different than sending a beggar away!
What's more, Lin Xiao's family property is comparable to the richest man in Jiuzhou Town, how could it be worth only a mere tael of silver!
"Humph, don't even think about it!"
Han Ruoshui refused coldly.
Ma San put away the false kindness on his face and his eyes turned cold:
“If you don’t eat the toast, you’ll be fined with alcohol!”
Lin Xiao is dead and has left no son, so Lin Xiao’s house has long existed in name only!
According to the rules, their patriarch has the right to divide the Lin Xiao family's property!
This time they came here in person, and they had given Han Ruoshui enough face!
"How dare you!"
Han Ruoshui shouted sharply, a trace of stubbornness and determination appeared on his face.
She knew she owed Lin Xiao, so she had to protect the family for her!
"Lin Xiao is dead, and you gave birth to a loser. According to the rules, Lin Xiao's family property should be handled by us. What? Do you still want to go against our clan leader?"
"Pooh!"
Han Ruoshui spit on Ma San's face without fear and cursed:
"Bah, bah, the master is out there and hasn't come back yet. What do you mean by saying 'dead' one by one? Have you been keeping an eye on my master's property for a long time?"
"Hahaha"
Hearing Han Ruoshui's words, Ma San burst out laughing, as if he had heard an extremely funny joke.
"Lin Xiao's boat has sunk for more than a year. He must have died long ago. Who should inherit the family's property? Do you think this loser you gave birth to can inherit the family business?"
Han Ruoshui's pretty face turned red with anger, but she was unable to refute.
The surrounding villagers who were watching the excitement also shook their heads and sighed.
Lin Xiao worked so hard to earn this fortune, but in the end she made a wedding dress for someone else. This is so unfair!
Everyone dared not speak out in anger, so they could only lower their heads silently.
Ma San looked at everyone's dejected look, and finally expressed the aggrieved feeling in his heart:
"Lin Xiao's family, since you are not convinced, let's go to the government office and let the official judge for us who is right and who is wrong! However, don't blame me for not reminding you. When we get to the government office, you don't even have a tael of silver.
I can’t even get it!”
Xie Li and several clan leaders also echoed, with expressions of gloating on their faces.
They couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take possession of Lin Xiao's huge family property as soon as possible so that they could successfully send their children and grandchildren to the capital to find a way out.
"You are going too far!"
Han Ruoshui bit her lip, glared at them hatefully, and shed tears.
She knew that if she really followed them to the government office, she would definitely be humiliated. By then, she might not even be able to ask for a tael of silver.
Does Lin Xiao's family property really want to benefit these old guys?
Thinking of this, Han Ruoshui's tears fell even more fiercely.
Ni'er, who was held in her arms, seemed to feel Han Ruoshui's pain and suddenly burst into tears.
"Ni'er, be good, don't cry, mother is here! Don't cry, be good, don't cry..."
Han Ruoshui hurriedly comforted Nier, patting the child's back while crying.
"Lao Xie, are you still a man? A woman has a child, how can you bear to let her suffer?"
The village chief who came after hearing the news rushed in quickly, with his hands on his hips, glaring at Ma San and Xie Li, and angrily said:
"After all, Ruoshui is also a girl. If you, an elder like you, bully a junior like her, aren't you afraid that it will be spread and the world will laugh at you?"
Xie Li glanced at him disdainfully:
"What we did was reasonable and aboveboard. Why do you blame us?"
"Why, as the village chief of Linjia Village, I no longer have the right to speak for the villagers? Are you bullying our Linjia Village for not having a clan leader?"
Linjia Village originally had a clan leader, but they thought that Linjia Village was too poor. After the death of the clan leader of Linjia Village, no new clan leader was elected.
To put it bluntly, Linjiacun is too poor and has no money to make money, so they don’t take Linjiacun for fun!
