Chapter 637 Your family is too much!

" And what does that suppose to mean?" asked Feng Zihang as he looked at Lin Yu, was this limp threatening him? Does he not see that just one push from him can send him to an early grave?

" I mean to say that if we do not get a proper explanation about what just happened then we are not going to stay silent," said Lin Yu carefully as he looked at the crowd that was looking at him. He knew that what he was saying was going to create a loud ruckus but he wasn't going to let them be unfair to his wife, even if it meant going against the entire village, he will bring justice to her. " If you want to suppress this matter then you have to ask us if we are willing to do so, for you know that if we aren't going to get what we want then even if you try to stop us we will let the matter be spread throughout the other village and a Yamen officer coming to the village and catching an arsonist is better then the villagers forgiving an arsonist and giving her shelter."

" Lin Yu!" Feng Zihang could hear the threat under Lin Yu's words, that guy was trying to pressurise the crowd by saying such things, if the matter was going to be exposed as Lin Yu said he will, then the villagers might really support sending Xin Shi to the Yamen. " Do you have to be so ruthless? No, matter what we are still fellow villagers. I know that you and your family suffered a loss but aren't you being a bit too much? You have so much money already, what will you get by sending my wife to Yamen? Isn't it too cruel I mean… it's a loss that you can cope with anyway, so sending my wife to the Yamen is a bit too much isn't it?"

When Feng Zihang saw that the hard approach wasn't going through the Lin family, he tried to softly approach them by pleading. " I mean think about my two sons, they are still young and need their mother, if something happened to her what will they do?"

" Then you should have thought about it before setting someone's fields on fire," shot back Lin Yan smoothly as he supported Su Wan who seemed to be getting really angry. " You can't just do something as stabbing someone in the back and then ask them to forgive them, do you know why the village doesn't have any boundary line around the fields? Because we all are supposed to trust each other but you and your wife broke that trust. It's not just about the loss of the money but also the trust that we had in this village and the villagers."

Slightly stunned, Feng Zihang looked around the crowd and noticed that the crowd seemed to be believing on what Lin Yan said and immediately stuttered, " I know what you mean but my wife is a fool and did something out of her own foolishness, please don't be as petty as her and let her off, I beg you. I swear she won't do it again. I am a man with two young kids, Lin Yan … you and your wife are going to have a kid as well, god forbid if something wrong is done at the hands of your wife wouldn't you want to save her for your kid?"

When Feng Zihang tried to earn sympathy by using the name of his kids, the villagers were pretty moved as they all turned to look at the Lin family and thought that they were indeed being too much.

" He is right, Lin Yan… no matter what his wife did, you should at least let her off for the sake of his kids," said one of the villagers. " I mean I get that your family is getting wronged but Feng Zihang is not wrong either, this is a loss that your family can recover you don't need to take this matter to the Yamen do you? I mean it is our village private matter we can solve it among ourselves can't we?"

" That's right," said another as he looked at the Lin brothers and politely smiled but his words were nowhere as polite as his smile. " I mean if this matter was leak out then it will bring us nothing but embarrassment and because of your uncle we have been embarrassed enough already, can't you all just take a break and leave the village to recover its lost reputation before pulling another mess, I mean this is a bit too much, your family is not the only one that has to suffer through injustice others have to do go through it as well, let's take Feng Dai and Feng Zhai for example. Their fields were stomped by cattle and even if it wasn't proved who did it everyone knows who was behind it but did the two of them call the Yamen for such a thing? They didn't right? They left it alone so why do you have to be so indifferent towards your village? At least be a little selfless and think about your village first before your family, this is getting out of hand, crying for justice even for the smallest grievance."

" I don't usually agree with him but he is right," said an elder of the village. " I have to say that you guys have been a bit too restless, just how many times the village's peace has been upset because of your family. These days whenever something happens it's because you are behind it."

The Lin brothers were angry enough to fight with the village but Su Wan was the most furious one, this was great. They actually made the victim, the culprit with just a few words of them and even made it look like it was her family who was making a great deal out of something small, just because they can go through this loss doesn't mean they have to go through it, all right!
