Chapter 261: Visitor from Li Residence (6)_1
"Mom, what should we do?" Pang Family was out of ideas.
"What else can we do but go back." The elder Pang woman, pinching two taels of silver in her hand, responded angrily as she got up from the ground and left in the direction of her home.
She realized that Miss Lin from the Lin Family had truly become an independent woman that was no longer easy to deceive. Moreover, with the two incidents involving the Ma Family previously, the Zhou Family would not dare to mess with the Lin Family.
Since she had already received two taels of silver as compensation, she should quit while she’s ahead to avoid losing more than she gains.
Hearing the gatekeeper’s report that the Zhou Family had wisely left, Lin Ziyin chuckled lightly. Knowing they were scared made things easier.
"Ziyin, your uncle doesn’t have much work at home. Do you need more help?" Lou Zheng, who was idling at home, felt stifled.
As long as someone in the village was of good character, Ziyin recruited them to work. Their children were sent to school. The ones left behind either had poor character or were elderly. As one who was in-between age-wise, he felt uncomfortable walking around the village.
See, he was only in his forties, but saw himself as a static figure. Each month, he watched his wife, children, and daughter-in-law bring home silver. Every time Lin Family handed out wages, he felt a sense of discomfort stir within him. He felt like he lacked authority at home.
"Uncle, you don’t feel ashamed?" Lin Ziyin teased him.
"Why would I be ashamed? Uncle does not steal nor rob, and I am honest in work. What’s there to fear?" Lou Zheng’s voice escalated several notches. In reality, his decision to join the Lin Family and work was because he was initially unwilling to lose face. But he eventually realized that there’s nothing wrong with earning an honest living, and not commit any crime. Besides, even the Prince had to listen to Lin Ziyin when it came to business.
