Chapter 929 - 133 Repay Money_2
"How can one blame us for this? He kept promising again and again that he wouldn’t steal anymore, who knew he’d be so untrustworthy!" Ding Liang snorted, "Serves him right for getting caught! Let’s see if he dares to steal again next time!"
As for there being a next time, who knows if it’ll even come.
Lin Yuan muttered to herself inside, and when she glanced at Lin Yongcheng, she was shocked to see how gaunt his face had become, his bones nearly protruding. No wonder Lin Jiaxin had softened, anyone would find it hard to abandon their nephew in such a state.
While she was thinking, Aunt Wang’s voice suddenly carried from outside the ancestral hall, drawing closer. Seeing her disheveled appearance, it was clear she had rushed back from town upon hearing the news.
"How could such a thing happen? Oh heavens, what are we to do!" Aunt Wang, clearly distressed, pushed her way into the ancestral hall. Upon seeing the people from her natal village and Lin Yongcheng kneeling on the floor, she finally accepted the truth, "It’s really true! Good Lord, isn’t this just terrible! Such a good boy, how could he do something so shameful? Big brother, oh sister-in-law, I’m so sorry, so sorry!"
Aunt Wang too hadn’t expected Lin Yongcheng to do such a thing and quickly turned to apologize to Wang Dagen. After all, she had been the one to matchmake, and now that such an incident had occurred, she was too ashamed to face the people from her natal village.
Wang Dagen, an honest man, was both angry and anxious, "I just knew something was off when our house suddenly lost so many things, it turns out, it was all his doing! And to think, I had considered him educated, a scholarly man, and it was you who introduced him to us. I thought my daughter would be in good hands marrying him! Who could have guessed, he, this, oh!"
Thinking of his daughter, Wang Dagen felt utterly heartbroken and too ashamed to meet anyone’s gaze, repeatedly waving his hands, "This boy, our family is certainly out of his league now, this marriage, let’s just forget about it, forget about it."
Fortunately, they had only met a few times and hadn’t finalized the marriage; otherwise, his daughter would never have been able to marry anyone else.
