Chapter 260: Visitor from Li Residence (5)_1
People around who had brought fruits all lowered their heads, feeling somewhat afraid and somewhat regretful.
"If you all share the same thoughts as the Zhou Family, thinking that we, the Lin Family, are easy to take advantage of, then you all don’t need to bring fruits here in the future." Lin Ziyin coldly sneered, scanning the crowd.
On hearing this, the spectators were dumbfounded. Picking fruits was a significant source of income for them. Although picking pine nuts was somewhat dangerous, the rest were pretty easy. The Lin Family offered a high price. If the Lin Family stopped buying their fruits, what would they do? This was a significant source of income for them.
"We have long been advising them not to take advantage of others, but sadly, they just wouldn’t listen. Let’s forget it. If they wish to make a fuss, let them. We better hurry and sell our fruits." One of the spectators immediately changed the topic.
"Indeed, what a waste of time." Another man pushed his cart towards Wang’s factory.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
"Lin Ziyin, you’re not short of silver. What harm is there in compensating us a little? You have a hard heart." Madam Pang pointed at Lin Ziyin and shouted.
Compared to her, Mr. Pang was much smarter. "Ziyin, in the heat of the moment, my wife spoke some nonsense. Don’t take it to heart. Consider it a kindness to your fellow villagers and give us some money for medical expenses. We didn’t earn a lot of silver from picking fruits, and it cost quite a bit for Dasheng to see a doctor. Just take pity on us."
"Why should I take pity on you?" Lin Ziyin coldly refused. "There are many to be pitied in this world. I’m not a Bodhisattva to give out silver to whoever is pitiable. I believe that from selling fruits these days, you must have earned no less than fifteen taels of silver, which is enough to see a doctor."
"Ziyin, my wife was wrong. Please feel sorry for us."
"Lin Ziyin." Madam Pang’s mouth was still tough.
