Chapter 799 - 101 Buy a house_3
Lin Jiazhong’s brothers exchanged a glance and started to yell out their grievances.
"Ah, dear Village Chief, you’re really wronging us here. Where have we ever been unfilial? We wanted to take care of our mother, but it’s she who doesn’t want to live with us. She says that staying at home and seeing every plant reminds her of our deceased father, so she stubbornly chose to move out. We tried to stop her and persuaded her, but she just wouldn’t listen."
Having studied for a few years and spent time in town, Lin Jiazhong spoke very convincingly. Watching his brother blithely spout nonsense, Lin Jiaxiao felt a secret amusement and couldn’t help but admire his elder brother.
The old Village Chief scrutinized them intently, trying to discern whether their words were true or false. Lin Jiazhong wasn’t worried, since indeed it was Lady Yang herself who proposed to move out. He had just exaggerated a little, not enough to be lying. He was not concerned even if the Village Chief went to confront Lady Yang.
After watching the two brothers for a while, the Village Chief indeed could not see any signs of lying. He huffed coldly, tapped his walking stick on the ground twice, and said gravely, "Humph! It’s not that your mom can’t bear the sight of every plant reminding her of your dad, it’s that she can’t bear to look at you batch of unfilial scoundrels!"
"Oh, Village Chief, where have we been unfilial? Don’t spit blood accusations!" Accused of being unfilial to his face, Lin Jiaxiao refused to stand for it and immediately began to act tough. Lin Jiazhong shot him an annoyed glance and lifted his foot again.
Having learned from the last lesson, was Lin Jiaxiao about to let him succeed again? He quickly stepped back and avoided Lin Jiazhong’s sneak attack.
Lin Jiazhong, unsuccessful in his attempt, ground his teeth in frustration and rolled his eyes.
The Village Chief, however, landed his walking stick with a thump on Lin Jiaxiao’s thigh, causing him to whimper in pain.
