Chapter 28: Choose a suitable "chicken" to kill for the "monkey" to see
"Okay then. I'll take care of Nannan's affairs. When I get back, I'll look for a teacher for him. Once I find one, we'll let them meet. If it's a good match, we'll get him married. Nannan is already three years old and can start learning."
Lin Xin couldn't help but feel sympathy for Lin Nan. She thought that only children before the end of the world were curly, but she didn't expect to see an even curlier one in ancient times, a three-year-old!
"Okay, you decide. I don't think you'll harm him, right?" Lin Xin's eyes were full of threats.
"You little stinky girl, this is my precious disciple whom I found with great difficulty, my last disciple. How could an old man harm him?" The old man was so angry at Lin Xin's words that he blew his beard and glared.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. You guys should leave quickly! Everyone is here." Lin Xin saw Aunt Lin pulling her grandson, who was crying with tears and snot all over his face, and rolling around with dirt and some sticky things on his body, and was about to come over here. She quickly reminded the old man.
"Well, I'll be leaving first." Although the old man really wanted to see Lin Xin beat someone, the ginseng in his arms needed to be dealt with, so he quickly finished it and sent it over there. Besides, he was afraid that staying would affect Lin Xin's performance, so he agreed very happily.
After he finished speaking, he quickly climbed onto the carriage with the help of his young apprentice. When the carriage started moving, he suddenly opened the rear curtain and said, "Girl, remember, my last name is Cui. From now on, don't call me old man. Call me Uncle Cui."
After saying this, he lowered the curtain, and the carriage sped up, leaving this place of trouble before Aunt Lin came over.
Seeing the carriage running away, Aunt Lin's grandson couldn't stand it anymore. He threw Aunt Lin's hand aside and rolled on the ground again, howling as he rolled: "Waaaaaa~ My carriage is gone, grandma, go get it back for me, I want the carriage, I want the carriage, waaaaaa~"
In fact, Aunt Lin had every chance to stop the carriage just now, but she didn't dare. In her eyes, people with carriages were either rich or noble, and she couldn't afford to offend them. That's why she didn't dare to come over under the pretext of coaxing her grandson. She didn't stand up until the carriage left and she could no longer catch up. She was afraid of people with carriages, but not of Lin Xin and her sister.
"Xin girl, you are from our village after all. Why can't my child go on the carriage to play for a while? At least say something! Do you look down on us villagers just because you have climbed up the social ladder? Otherwise, if the child likes the carriage, why can't you let him go on it and experience it for himself?"
Aunt Lin questioned Lin Xin while struggling to pull her grandson up from the ground.
"Oh, you know that's someone else's carriage, not yours, right? If your child wants to get on the carriage, let him get on the carriage. But your child also wants to enter the palace! Why don't you let him in?" Lin Xin hated people like this the most. He was not polite to her at all.
"Oh, what are you talking about? I know our child is not lovable. It's okay if you look down on him and don't let him get on the carriage, but there are so many children! Even if you let one or two go up, it would be fine! But you didn't let any of them. Tell me yourself, we are all from the same village. Is this appropriate?"
If she was only talking about her own child, no one would think it was a big deal. What's wrong with not letting you into someone else's carriage?
But when she brought the children of the village with her, everyone started to think that Lin Xin was going too far. They were all children and had never seen a carriage before, so it was no big deal for them to want to go up and take a look. The carriage was not broken, so were you really going to let the person go?
As a result, some villagers also began to join Aunt Lin in attacking Lin Xin.
"Yeah, Xin, the kids are just curious. What's wrong with letting them go up and take a look?"
"What else can we do? We are poor, so we are not worthy of riding in a carriage!"
"You are wrong, Xin girl. We are from the same village. You can't turn your elbow outward."
"That's right!"
······
Seeing everyone surrounding Lin Xin and chatting about this and that, Aunt Lin was very proud. She pointed at Lin Xin and said, "Xin girl, you let the carriage go as soon as you saw us coming. Is there something in there that shouldn't be there that you're afraid we'll find? I just saw that old man lift the carriage curtain to talk to you before he left. Could it be that he gave you the silver before? Is your relationship... normal? Huh?"
These words were like a large rock thrown into the water, immediately stirring up shallow ripples. No matter what era or place, scandals are always the most attractive and the most talked about.
After Aunt Lin said this, everyone looked at Lin Xin with a different look in their eyes.
Lin Xin looked at Aunt Lin across the crowd and received a smug look from her.
"Haha," Lin Xin suddenly sneered. "Aunt Lin, you need evidence when you speak. If you say our relationship is not normal, then bring out the evidence. If not, don't blame me. It is said that the county magistrate is fair and honest. I will definitely ask him to help me judge this matter and see if it is a crime to casually slander someone."
The highest-ranking official Aunt Lin had ever seen in her life was the village headman. Her legs went weak when she heard the name of the county magistrate.
Moreover, the farmers were used to having the clan or village resolve problems on their own, and Lin Xin was the only one who always mentioned the county magistrate.
"That...that's not just what I said, so many people said it together, why are you holding on to me!" Although Aunt Lin was scared, she still argued in a low voice in defiance.
People who were far away couldn't hear what she said, but those who were nearby heard it and immediately directed their dissatisfaction at her, "Hey, her aunt, please make it clear. We didn't say that Miss Xin was having an affair with that old man. You said it, and you can't drag us all into it."
"What? Xin girl is having an affair with that old man in the carriage? Is that true?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's all made up by Aunt Lin. She wants us to use us as pawns and make us cause trouble for Xin Yatou to vent her anger on her grandson!"
"Ah? Aunt Lin made it up? I thought it was true."
The chaotic discussions soon got out of hand. Lin Xin stood there listening expressionlessly. Lin Nan, who was sent home by her early in the morning, stood behind the door and heard the villagers' discussions clearly. Although he could not quite understand the meaning of the words, he could feel the full malice from them and could not help but clench his fists.
At this moment, the idea of "becoming great" was particularly strong in his heart. He wanted to learn "singing" well from his master, take the imperial examination, become a high-ranking official, and then take his sister away from this place and never come back. The people here were too bad.
Lin Xin, who didn't know that he had made a major life decision, looked at the crowd in front of her with great irritation in her heart. She once again lamented why she didn't awaken the thunder-type ability, but the wood and water-type abilities that couldn't be used to scare people. If it was the thunder-type ability, a bolt of lightning would definitely shut these people up.
It seems that the appearance of Lin Lao Er's spirit before was not enough to scare the villagers, or even if they were scared, it was not her who was scared. She had to think of a way to solve the problem once and for all, otherwise such annoying things would affect her mood if they happened too much.
But we can't offend everyone. We have to choose a suitable "chicken" to kill in front of the "monkey". Who should we choose?
From a distance, Lin Xin watched Aunt Lin glancing over here with a gloating look while arguing with the villagers who were talking about her. She narrowed her eyes slightly. This old woman was the worst.
