Chapter 970 - 142 Guarding oneself and steals_4
Sighing, Lin Jiazhong really did start dragging Butler Qi by the sleeve to head outside.
This move left Butler Qi utterly confused, "Jiazhong, you’re truly muddled. Do you think once you’re in prison, there’s nothing to worry about? That you won’t have to pay back the silver?"
The old village chief was so furious he raised his cane and struck Lin Jiazhong hard on the back, causing his frail body to begin shivering and coughing continuously, "You scoundrel! Scoundrel! Old Master Huang sent someone over clearly not wishing for you to go to prison, aiming to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf! But look at you, you’re actually rushing to get in there! Scoundrel indeed!"
Lady Ma, who had been beaten black and blue by Lin Jiazhong, had no time to attend to her own injuries as she threw herself crying at him, "Head of the house, you must not go to prison! If you go, what will happen to us, mother and daughter? Butler, listen, I have a daughter; she is the little concubine of Master Magistrate. Just wait, I’ll go find her, I’ll find her, she will definitely give us some silver!"
Before Lady Ma could even stand up and leave, Lin Jiazhong had already dragged her back in a fit of rage, "Why bother seeking that ungrateful daughter? If she was willing to give us silver, would I still be waiting here?"
"What did you say?" Lady Ma turned around incredulously, not understanding at all the meaning of Lin Jiazhong’s words.
Lin Jiazhong stomped his feet in fury, spit flying as he cursed, "That ungrateful girl, I went to ask her for silver, and she had the audacity to throw me out and even threatened to beat me with a stick if I dared to come again!"
At this point, Lin Jiazhong could no longer care about losing face and blurted out the humiliating experience of being thrown out when he asked Lin Siyu for silver.
