Chapter 262: Lin Laosan’s Doing
Li Cuihua immediately blew up when she saw everyone criticizing and scolding her. She said angrily, “these are all the Lin family’s ancestral property. The fact is set in stone even if we don’t have the house deed. If you have an opinion, wait until the elders come. How can you scold me to shield an outsider? Are you crazy?”
Since Doctor Zhang had spoken, Li Cuihua could shed all pretenses of cordiality. She was angry at Doctor Zhang and even incited the other villagers to join her.
“He’s an outsider. Other than his surname, who knows what his name is, what he does, and why did he faint at the entrance of our village three years ago? If it weren’t for everyone’s kindness in saving him and keeping him in the Lin family Village, he wouldn’t be alive today!
“Just because he’s a whack doctor, he dares to threaten the villagers here. Think about it. Since he dares to threaten me today, won’t he threaten the rest of you tomorrow? After all, a large portion of you have even scolded or hit that wretched girl?”
Li Cuihua spoke with conviction, and some of the Lin family Village people were swayed.!!
What if Doctor Zhang really took revenge on them because of Lin Yuelan? What if he refused to treat them in the future? When it came to their own benefits, most of the villagers were fence-sitters, leaning to whichever side the wind blew.
At this moment, many people felt that Li Cuihua’s words made sense. They started to favor her.
“Everyone, listen to me. Lan ‘Er has mentioned to me that she can let bygones be bygones. Since that’s the case, I will not bring up the past unless someone brings it up first. So don’t worry.” Doctor Zhang said very seriously. That was a perfect counter.
Doctor Zhang was quite a good speaker too.
The villagers were more inclined to believe Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang had been in the Lin family Village for three years, and his character was clear. He was a kind and honest man who always kept his promises.
On the other hand, Li Cuihua was one of the most untrustworthy people in the village. She would find people to quarrel with every day. It was like she would die if she didn’t argue with someone. Therefore, most people loathed Li Cuihua.
“Alright, Doctor Zhang, I believe you!”
“Doctor Zhang, I also believe you!”
Seeing that everyone was standing on Doctor Zhang’s side again, Li Cuihua became anxious.
The crowd’s attitude could very likely determine whether they could force Lin Yuelan to buy the ancestral home for five hundred silver or not. Li Cuihua needed the crowd to pressure Lin Yuelan to admit that the land and house still belonged to Lin Laosan’s family. If she wanted to stay here, then Lin Yuelan had to pay.
Originally, Li Cuihua was confident that she could take back the ancestral home because everyone hated Lin yuelan, this jinx.
But what she had never expected was that Doctor Zhang would suddenly appear to disrupt her plan. Li Cuihua shouted, “Everyone, don’t believe him. Do you know who he’s protecting? That is the jinx of our village. Why would you believe him?”
The crowd was swayed left and right.
Doctor Zhang was annoyed by the shrew. He stopped trying to argue and said conclusively, “If you want to believe me, then believe me. But I’ll say the same thing. Consider whether you still want me to consult your illnesses in the future.”
After Doctor Zhang said this, everyone was immediately frightened.
However, before they could say anything, they heard a loud shout from afar.
“Oh no. Grandpa Jiu and Grandpa Shen have passed away!”
“What?”
This news was like a bomb.
