Everyone in Linjiatun felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but they couldn't explain why for a moment.

Seeing her come forward, Lin Bufan felt that he had about 70% confidence. He waved his hand to signal those who surrounded Gu Dahuai to disperse and said, "Sister, you go."

Lin Qing smiled and looked at Gu Dahuai who was in a rather embarrassed state in the main hall: "Since Bufan wants a betrothal gift, Dahuai, just give it to him.

"Since the Jia family is a well-known wealthy family, they certainly can't afford such a small betrothal gift. If the Jia family disagrees with the cancellation of the engagement, then whoever proposed it should be allowed to cancel the engagement."

Gu Dahuai frowned, thinking that Lin Qing would not be so kind.

It seemed that she gave the betrothal gift to Lin Bufan, but she also gave the hot potato of breaking off the engagement to him.

Is she really willing to treat her own brother like this?

There must be something fishy going on!

The people in Linjiatun were very satisfied and whispered to each other, praising: "It seems that the eldest daughter of the Lin family is quite sensible and knows how to love her younger brother."

But their smiles didn't last long, as they heard Lin Qing continue:

"Since my brother wants to take the betrothal gift, please return the twenty-five taels of silver to me first."

Lin Bufan was stunned: "What?"

Lin Qing's smile remained unchanged as he explained, "Don't worry, everyone. I did this to preserve the reputation of the village. Imagine if others knew that I only accepted Da Huai's apology and let Bufan go, and even let him take so many things back, they would definitely talk about it.

"They don't understand the inside story, so they wouldn't say we have a deep sibling relationship. If they only suspect I'm biased towards my mother's family, that's not a big deal. After all, our family's honor is insignificant compared to Linjiatun."

Everyone was even more confused. What did this have to do with their Linjiatun?

Lin Qing was extremely grateful for the last time she chatted with Gou about the disputes and conflicts between the villages. She said:

"My dear uncles, coming here, I'm sure a lot of people will see you. People in our village won't say anything, but I'm not sure about other villages.

"I heard that several villages dislike our Linjiatun. These people might take this opportunity to gossip about us, saying that our Linjiatun relies on its size to bully Songsi Village. That would be troublesome."

Lin Qing's words really hit these people's sore spots, and their expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

That's right.

They came here just to help protect their fellow tribesmen. If they were framed like this, not only would they be punished by the village head afterwards, but they would also lose face.

Lin Bufan was a little anxious when he saw this. "Don't believe her lies!"

"That's your sister. Things are just passed from one hand to the other in your family. If this reputation is confirmed, we will be criticized!"

"that is!"

Seeing that they were on the verge of collapse, Lin Qingyan said nothing more, but unexpectedly, Song Youliang's powerful voice came to her aid at the right time.

"Linjiatun is really making a big scene. Are they here to repay the debt or to rob? Our Songsi Village may be small, but we are not to be bullied!"

Gu Dahuai originally didn't want Song Youliang to get involved. After all, they had just had a disagreement, but since help was coming to him, there was no reason to chase him away.

He was good at scamming people and fell to the ground and started coughing violently. The sound was so loud that people worried that he would cough out his lungs.

Song Youliang straightened his back, fully enjoying the treatment he received from Gu Changqing yesterday, and walked slowly through the crowd.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Lin Lizheng for a long time. I'll go back with you guys later and let him see the good young people in Linjiatun!"

After all, Song Youliang has been a grassroots leader for a long time, and he knows very well how to catch these people's weaknesses.
