Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Oh, you can't even look me in the eye, you're just a wimp! A coward!

Still a scholar?

I'm showing off to you, bah!

Lin Xiaoyue's eyes rolled up in disdain to the sky!

I guess he is also a nerd who is obsessed with books.

His own parents were being beaten right in front of him, but he didn't even dare to stand up for his mother. Not only was he a coward, he was also a coward. Fortunately, my second sister broke off the engagement with that useless guy, otherwise who knows how chaotic the life after marriage would be!

Lin Xiaoyue almost spit at the other person to death in her heart, but considering her mother who was holding her sleeve tightly and sweating profusely, she couldn't help but suppress her anger, "Mom, it's okay. It's just a flea looking for trouble, don't be afraid." Lin Xiaoyue patted the back of Lin's mother's hand to comfort her.

"The two families broke off the engagement a month ago. We have no relationship at all. They still have the nerve to break into our yard and take things without asking. Even if they sue us in court, we will not be in the wrong at all." After saying this, Lin Xiaoyue paused, looked directly into the eyes of Xi Dazhi with sarcasm, and sneered, "I just don't know what crime the county magistrate would sentence the scholar for if he knew that he brought his mother to his ex-fiancée's house to cause trouble and break into the house? I wonder if this scholar's reputation will be preserved then?"

As soon as Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, Zhang Shi and Dazhi's pupils couldn't help but shrink, with an expression of disbelief.

Zhang stiffened her neck and argued, "I...how could we steal anything? You are making up stories. You are framing me."

"Oh, no?" Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue had intimidated the other party, Lin Zhaodi came forward holding the items she had just snatched back from Zhang Shi and interrupted, adding another knife, "Then I wonder which fat woman snatched these things from me just now?"

Zhang was so angry that she was speechless and wanted to throw a tantrum again, but the pain on her face reminded her not to act rashly.

Zhang turned her head and looked at her son who was supporting her. She found that Dazhi had already lost color and turned pale with fear. He was choking and dared not speak back. Zhang's mind exploded, and she instantly remembered what she had done after entering Lin Laosan's house.

But ever since her son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, she has been shaking wherever she goes. Everyone who sees her flatters her and says nice things to her. She never thought that she would be caught with something today. Isn't this embarrassing for herself and her son?

Zhang would never admit the stupid thing she had just done. She just thought that the people in Lin Laosan's family were ignorant and kept fussing over trivial matters. They were really narrow-minded.

In short, as a scholar's mother, she couldn't bring herself to apologize for what she had done, not to mention that in her eyes, Lin Laosan's family was just a poor family trying to get close to his son. The family members were either disabled or stupid women who were not presentable, and there were also two rude and fierce girls in front of them who had no respect for their elders.

Zhang stared with her triangular eyes, howling at the top of her voice, trying to give herself courage, "So what if the engagement is cancelled? You guys should return the betrothal gifts? After the engagement is cancelled, are you trying to take my betrothal gifts for nothing?"

Speaking of the betrothal gift, Zhang seemed to regain her confidence. She let go of her son's hand and rushed into the house.

Yes, she heard a rumor in the village that Lin Laosan's family had made a fortune and bought a whole cart of things yesterday. She felt jealous all of a sudden.

Originally, the betrothal gift given out was received by the old lady of the Lin family. Although it was her side that proposed to cancel the engagement, the old lady of the Lin family was very strong and refused to return a penny of the betrothal gift. And the third family of the Lin family had always been extremely poor, and everyone in the surrounding area knew about it. It was rare for such a rumor to come out, so she thought of taking the opportunity to come to the door early today to ask for money and see if she could get anything back.

Mother Lin was frightened by Zhang's arrogant attitude and turned pale. She pleaded, "No, you can't go in like this. There are two children in there. You will scare them."

Zhang looked crazy at the moment. Not only was her face swollen like a pig's head, but Lin Xiaoyue had just knocked out two of her teeth. Blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she had smeared her teeth all over her face. She looked like a ghost.

But Zhang herself couldn't see it, and her son didn't remind her, so she had no idea how scary she looked now.

Zhang wanted to get back the anger she had just felt. She pushed away Lin's mother who tried to stop her with a gloomy face and howled hysterically, "Get out of my way. Today, no matter what, your family must return the betrothal gifts to me. Also, your little bitch just knocked out two of my teeth. If you don't compensate, we will go to the government office to confront the county magistrate."

Ordinary people these days probably won't be able to enter the government in their lifetime. If someone sees an official, the whole village will know about it. Then their family's reputation will be completely ruined. How can the children get married in the future? Besides, Erya had been rejected by her marriage, and it will be difficult for her to find a marriage in the future. Now, if such a bad rumor spreads in the family again, how can the child bear it?

Cold sweat broke out on Lin's mother's forehead. She trembled and stammered, unable to speak.

Lin Zhaodi was so anxious that she threw the things in her hand under the wall, rushed forward to stop Zhang who was about to break into the side room, and pushed her with all her strength, "We won't confiscate your betrothal gifts. You can ask for it from whoever took it."

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the unreasonable Zhang, and felt that her brain was full of holes, and she showed an impatient look on her face. But because she had to protect Lin's mother who was almost pushed down, she was afraid that she would collapse to the ground with weak legs, and the other party deliberately avoided her and broke into the house, so she couldn't let go of Lin's mother's hand for a while.

Just when Lin Zhaodi and Zhang were pushing each other, they were trying to lead the other person towards Lin Xiaoyue. Seeing that the other party was pushed back several steps, Lin Xiaoyue came closer, took the opportunity to grab the back of Zhang's collar, and threw him to the ground with a side throw.

Seeing that his mother had suffered a loss, Dazhi gritted his teeth and rushed forward, wanting to rescue Zhang from Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue was even less lenient towards men. She quickly handed Lin's mother over to Lin Zhaodi, and went over to Wei Dazhi and threw him over her shoulder, landing him heavily in the yard.

With a "bang", the man's thin body fell to the ground and rolled five or six times, raising a cloud of dust.

The muffled groan of the body falling to the ground and Zhang's sharp and piercing scream finally woke up Xiao Si, Xiao Wu and Old Man Lin who were sleeping.

Seeing the frightened little four and little five rubbing their eyes and climbing down from the "haystack bed", their two little feet didn't even have time to put on shoes, they rushed out of the side room like a cannonball and ran into Lin Xiaoyue's arms.
