” Xin Shi! What are you all doing with my wife?” Feng Zihang too came to watch the fun from the sidelines, he was around the Lin Brothers’ fields all along but didn’t step out to help, in fact, he tried to stop many villagers from extinguishing the fire in the fields by hindering them every now and then. He was just thinking that his wife did a good job but then all his praises went down the drain when he saw that his wife was caught by the Lin family’s guards.
This is good for nothing! If she was going to get caught then why did she even try to do it? Was something wrong with her head or something? She actually went ahead and got caught after setting someone’s field on fire, he hoped that this stupid woman didn’t confess under the pressure, or else everything will blow up in smoke.
Feng Zihang tried to get close to Xin Shi but the Lin family stopped him, though Lin Yan and Su Wan didn’t say anything they could more or less understand why the two of them caught Xin Shi and brought her here. They wouldn’t have done it if Xin Shi was innocent, most likely it was this woman who caused trouble in their fields and tried to run away but was unfortunately caught by Su Wan and Lin Yan.
” What do you think you are doing?” snapped Feng Zihang as if he really couldn’t understand why his wife was being treated in such a way. ” You cannot just treat someone like that just because you have some money!”
Xin Shi who was silent till now too raised her head and shouted, ” Husband, help me…look at them they are wronging me! I didn’t do anything you know I was at home till now.”
” That’s right, she was with me!” said Feng Zihang as he turned to look at Village head Luo and pleaded, ” Village head look at that the Lin family is finding trouble with my family for absolutely no reason, please give us justice! Look at how they have caught my wife, it’s like they are apprehending a criminal.”
Village head Luo looked at Feng Zihang and then turned his gaze at Lin Yan who was standing beside Su Wan and asked, ” Yan’er what is going on, why have you caught Xin Shi like that?” Though he already had a hunch it was necessary to let everything out in the air so that no one will call him unfair and biased.
” Village head——”
” I will tell you what happened, Village head Luo,” Su Wan didn’t want Feng Zihang to twist the story since Lin Yan didn’t notice everything first-hand and just followed after her, so it was better for her to answer this question. With the help of Lin Jing, she stepped out of the group and looked at Village head Luo without the slightest bit of fear or anxiousness, which was considerably lot different from Feng Zihang’s attitude. ” I was having a hard time sleeping because I was feeling uncomfortable, that’s why I suggested Yan to come with me on a walk, originally we just intended to take a round around the house’s courtyard and then go back to sleep but then we noticed a faint glow in the surrounding, we thought something might have happened so we hurried here only to see that our fields were on fire.”
She paused and then breathed in calmly. ” I am sure that you all can see that there is no way our fields will catch fire naturally since the entire sky is clear and there are no signs of a thunderstorm, that’s enough of the reason to let everyone know that the fields were set on fire by someone and they didn’t catch fire on their own——”
” But what’s that got to do with my wife?” said Feng Zihang loudly as he stared at Su Wan like he was wishing her tongue to cut down now and fall to the ground.
Sensing his glare Lin Chen stood in front of Su Wan and glared back at Feng Zihang as he said, ” You glare at my wife one more time and I will snap your bones in two, you bastard!”
Feng Zihang immediately looked away but he didn’t forget to point at Lin Chen as he complained to the Village head like a child complaining to an adult, ” You see that Village head Luo, just look at that how the Lin family is threatening me and my family and that too when you are here, God knows what they might have done if you were not here.”
Lin Chen wished to say that I would have buried you alive if Village head wasn’t here but Su Wan stopped him, she finally understood why Lin Yan stopped her from slapping Xin Shi, he seemed to have made a quick judgement of Feng Zihang the last time this man came to sell his eggs at their house. Thus, she stopped Lin Chen just in time so that Feng Zihang could stop playing the victim card.
After she was done stopping Lin Chen, she raised her head and looked at Feng Zihang as she smiled and said, ” What’s the hurry? Let me finish first, I am still speaking, aren’t I? What your wife gotta do with this whole scenario, I will let you know in a minute all right?”
Feng Zihang glared at Su Wan and said, ” I just don’t want you to fool the villagers with your sweet talk!”
