This is what the Li family uses to humiliate Lin Luoran, and now she gives it back wholly intact. The Li's eldest daughter carries a pole to beat Lin Luoran's head — Lin's father stands too far to pull her away. Li Weiguo doesn't expect that Li Anping's sister is so impetuous, and even dares to do it when he is still considering.
It's too late for those people to pull her back, Li Anping's sister's eyes get sharp and she believes Lin Luoran is about to fall under her pole. After all, she hates this beautiful face for a long time—
Lin Luoran moves. Everyone thinks she has been beaten down by the carrying pole and cannot bear to see that. In a flash, Lin Luoran stands safe and sound and the Li's daughter stamps and covers her wrist with pain. The pole is instantly seized by Lin Luoran who was delicate in the past.
Lin's parents quickly come to their daughter, and check if she gets hurt. Mrs. Li does not expect her daughter is defeated in such a simple "fistfight". Before she is going to rebuke her, her daughter shows her wrist. It is red and swollen greatly. Needless to say, it is Lin Luoran that did it.
"Hiss…" The crowd gasps. There's no sign before showing the Lin's daughter is so hard. Afraid of being affected, the women can't help leaning on their men and then feel safe.
After comforting her parents, Lin Luoran carries the shoulder pole, and breaks it easily into two pieces. She tosses it optionally, but the pole pierces into the ground a few feet. Only a few wood splinters left to remind people that it is made of solid wood.
Mrs. Li's shoulders are shaking with wrath. She raises her eyebrows and stares in anger and even her lips are quivering.
Anyone can feel that Mrs. Li is furious. This is the first time for her to suffer a setback after acting in a shrewish manner in the village for many years. Why not get angry?
Normally, she has rushed up to fight her enemy or thrown herself on the ground to make trouble. Today, however, she has to restrain her anger.
Lin Luoran feels her transformed body is bursting with power these days. Today, she just uses it lightly and then Li Anping's mother and his troublesome relatives are frightened. Lin Luoran is satisfied with the result.
Let alone Mrs. Li, even the village head, Li Weiguo, who is considering, when seeing the Lin's family is not only rich, but also has "force", can't help coughing, "Luoran is going to repair the ancestral hall. She grows up in our village and she is filial doing that. Anping's mother, stop making trouble."
Mrs. Li is unwilling to give up. Her son-in-law, seeing her wife's swollen wrist, also wants to fight against Lin Luoran. He secretly compares his strength with Lin's. Most countrymen are strong, but no one can stick an entire pole into the ground like her. How much effort does it take?
He is afraid but doesn't want people to find that he has no guts to avenge his wife. What Li Weiguo says gives him an opportunity to extricate from such an awkward position!
Everyone knows it clearly that Li Weiguo has a supreme status in Li's village. "Village head" is just a post on the surface, he is the patriarch of Li's village now, the real powerful person who can use the clan law in the ancestral hall!
When hearing that he is ready to receive Lin's money to repair the hall and supports them, Mrs. Li even doesn't want to save Li Weiguo's face. She dares not directly confront the girl she cannot see through, so she turns to Lin Luoran's parents and scolds, "Well! Well! Well! Look at your daughter. You shameless people. I was cut blind by the swallow at that time. I give up so many good girls to make an engagement with you!"
"Other girls are not as virtuous as I am. I didn't ask for bride price. My parents are honest so you force me to drop out to pay for Li Anping's education. I won't calculate the living expenses with you. I still keep the receipts of these years' tuition fees. No matter what you say, you must return the money!"
Lin Luoran has made up her mind to solve the problem by herself, and she must protect her parents. Mrs. Li wants to distract others. How can Lin Luoran allow this to happen? She knows Li Anping's mother often bullies the weak, and deliberately frightens her. In fact, at that time Li Anping was the only one she cared about. How could she think of keeping the tuition receipts?
Mrs. Li finds that unreasonable quarreling is useless, so she turns to pretend to be vulnerable, "Uncle Weiguo, the girl is going to force me to death. She bullies me for there is no man in my family…" She weeps while sniveling, trying to get Li Weiguo's sympathy.
She is old, but she calls the village head uncle. Li Weiguo is in high seniority in the clan, and naturally his knowledge is rich. The Lin's family can afford a hundred thousand to repair the ancestral temple, of course, he must protect them. There are many people watching from the village. If he wants money but does not back them, then who else will donate money to repair the temple?
The decline of the hall is the decline of Li's clan, of the Li's village head and even the whole Li's family with the same family name.
"Uncle Weiguo" says nothing, and Mrs. Li is aware that he has been bribed by one hundred thousand yuan. She immediately rolls on the ground.
Dust covers her wrinkled face with snot and tears, and together with her rolling movements, she looks like a consummate clown.
Onlookers enjoy this with relish, but Lin's parents are speechless. They feel regretful but fortunate. Li Anping's mother is such a shrew. Luckily, their daughter will not marry him to be treated harshly.
Looking at her rolling on the ground and calling "Uncle Weiguo", the village head does not feel her filial piety, but fretful. His authority is despised:
"I don't care about your family issues. Make it clear how much money it is. If Luoran goes to sue you and you lose the face of our village, I will open the ancestral temple and use our clan law. It is up to you!"
Mrs. Li even forgets to roll, staring at the village head blankly. For the first time her actions do not work.
Lin Luoran's parents are relieved when seeing that the village head seems to stand by them. They don't want to ask the Li family for money. Under such a situation, they just hope these people won't come again to curse at the street so often and then they will be satisfied.
Lin Luoran gets it, and at this moment, she is very clever, "Repairing the ancestral temple is a big deal, the money I promised will send to the village committee tomorrow."
Li Weiguo is pleased with that, after saying something unimportant, he goes across Anping's mother, and wanders away.
There is no one to suppress them, so some nephews from the Li family are eager to try when their aunts are still rolling on the ground. Lin Luoran looks down and smiles:
"Let me speak frankly. If anyone else wants to bully my parents and does harm to my family, and even hurts a hair of my family members, now that I can spend one hundred thousand to repair the hall, of course, I have another one hundred thousand to feast him!"
Li's nephews stop when hearing what the beautiful girl says. And Lin Luoran continues to mutter casually, "I've heard that many people scramble to get their legs broken for several thousand. I wonder what can be done for one hundred thousand. I'm really looking forward to it."
Her voice is low, but the crowd, in order to watch the farce, is so quiet that a pin dropped on the ground can be heard. When they learn that she threatens in public to spend money to take revenge if there is something wrong in her family, they are all astonished.
God, the rich are arrogant! Considering that, they dare not to stay here for fun and quietly go back.
Within minutes, all people disappear from the Lin's yard. The autumn wind is blowing Li Anping's sister. She cannot feel the pain of the wrist, just disappointed.
Mrs. Li glares at Lin Luoran. The girl who was coward and gullible in the past, is like a tiger in the forest who kills with a smile at present, making her get frightened for the first time.
But Lin Luoran stills wants the fire stronger, so she bends over and whispers in her ear:
"You'd better go home as soon as possible to raise money. In case your son encounters some accidents if it's too long. A youth talent with a disabled body, the rich girl won't choose him unless she is insane."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li feels rather scared. She drags her daughter's pants to get up and runs away with her family.
Lin Luoran's parents dare not to believe she is sent away by their daughter so easily, and stand there stunned. Mrs. Lin suddenly recalls her daughter has promised to give one hundred thousand, and worries so much, "Dear, it's one hundred thousand. How can you afford it!"
Aunt Li leans by the door and laughs loudly," Luoran now has the ability. What are you worried about?"
Mrs. Lin twists Lin Luoran's ear, "You can't spend money like that again even if you can make it!"
Mother only loses her temper in front of her. Lin Luoran jumps, but feels such an atmosphere is actually warm.
Lin Luoran is in a good mood for sending the Li's away. She covers her ears and makes an invitation with a smile, "Auntie, take my uncle together to have a meal with us this evening!"
Mr. Lin hurries into the room silently, and thinks of the beef braised in the pot.
