Chapter 444: About to Fall
At this point, Old Granny Zhang lifted her skirt to wipe away her tears, and Lady Lin beside her was also covering her face and crying, "My poor sister-in-law, who had just gotten engaged, has suffered such a fate. Last night, she cared for my brother-in-law all night long, and we all listened to my brother-in-law suffering in the room, unable to sleep."
"Fellow villagers, tell me, my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law are both good people, but good people do not get rewarded, do they? They’ve encountered these two heartless bastards and have lost their futures and possibly their lives! My sister-in-law is sensible and capable; such a good girl, but because of them, we don’t even know how she’ll get by in the future? How can we, as parents and siblings-in-law, turn a blind eye to this? If we don’t stand up for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, with their tender hearts holding onto past affection, they’ll eat this huge loss for nothing..."
Jindou and Jinhu couldn’t perform the difficult act of crying like their mother or kin; they just squatted there, heads bowed and faces covered, looking utterly defeated.
Wang Yonggui, who had ample experience with scamming, had seen all sorts of situations. Like now, when the focus was not on him, he was common, and he lay there very calmly. He even took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to him to stealthily remove two small stones he had hidden under his buttocks, then lay down comfortably and listened to his own mother’s performance.
Inwardly, he couldn’t help but judge and finally concluded that experience trumps all; his own mother was simply born for this. Look at how she took control as soon as she opened her mouth, while that Qin had been suppressed all along.
There was also a Zhang who had not yet appeared; they must have been too afraid to show themselves.
Wang Yonggui couldn’t help but fantasize that, if only he had brought his mother, Old Granny Zhang, to scam others from the beginning, they probably would have become rich long ago...
At that moment, no one was paying attention to what Wang Yonggui, still lying on the ground, was thinking.
They were all moved by Old Granny Zhang’s tearful speech, along with Lady Lin’s crying appeals.
