Chapter 147: You Were Willing Too, Weren’t You!
Due to her these “great achievements,” the villagers all shut their mouths, after all, no one likes someone who does nothing all day but blocks their own doorstep and curses.
But Lin Xin didn’t buy her act. Anyway, she was leaving the village, so even if she wanted to curse, she wouldn’t hear it. Thus, she took a step forward to Lin Ju, stood opposite her looking down at her, and asked: “Have you thought it through? Or are you determined to frame Chu Yu, right?”
Lin Ju shrank back a bit, stammering as she opened her mouth: “I······I······”
Although she acted very cowardly, Lin Xin saw through the scheming in her eyes at a glance, knowing she didn’t dare resist her mother and wanted to place hope on her, expecting her to make her mother yield, thereby leaving everyone with the impression that everything was done by her mother and she herself was entirely forced.
Lin Xin sneered coldly in her heart, no longer fixing her gaze on her, but using her sleeve to take out a red pill the size of a yellow bean from the space, turned around, pinched Lin Ju’s cheek, stuffed the pill into her mouth, lifted her chin, and the pill smoothly slid into her stomach.
“Cough cough cough······” Fear burst from Lin Ju’s eyes, she desperately clawed at her throat, trying to spit out the pill, but ended up coughing violently.
“Don’t bother, this pill melts in the mouth, you can’t spit it out.” Lin Xin straightened her body and said coldly.
“You······what did you feed me?” Lin Ju looked at the expressionless Lin Xin, her heart skipping a beat, a bad premonition rising from the bottom of her heart.
“You little bitch, what did you feed my daughter? I’m telling you, if anything happens to the child in my daughter’s belly, I’ll fight you to the death!” Lin Ju’s mother rushed to Lin Ju in a few steps, hands on hips, pointing at Lin Xin.
“I see you won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin, so I helped you out. Weren’t you unwilling to tell the truth? So I gave her some medicine that makes people tell the truth!” Lin Xin hugged her arms, raised her chin, and said loudly.
“Impossible, how could there be such a drug in the world?” Lin Ju’s mother panicked for a moment at first, but then reacted, putting on a fearless look to refute her.
“You probably know that Lin Nan’s master is a doctor. When I have nothing to do usually, I also learned a few tricks from him, but what I learned isn’t healing the sick and rescuing the injured, but researching some strange prescriptions. This is one I came up with, as for the effect, just watch and see.” Lin Xin spoke with great confidence.
The more calmly she acted, the more uneasy Lin Ju and her mother felt. They glanced at each other, unusually not chiming in.
The watching villagers were also very curious about the effect of the pill Lin Xin mentioned, all whispering discussions about whether it was really as miraculous as she said.
Lin Xin estimated the time, lowered her head to look at Lin Ju, her whole demeanor turning stern, and asked: “What’s your name?”
“······Lin Ju.” Lin Ju originally didn’t want to speak, but she found she couldn’t control her own mouth at all, and after struggling for a while, she still answered.
Lin Xin nodded and asked again: “Is the child in your belly really Chu Yu’s?”
This time Lin Ju’s mother couldn’t stay still, hurriedly bending down to cover Lin Ju’s mouth, while glaring back viciously at Lin Xin, “Little bitch, mind your own business.”
“Everyone saw it, right? What the answer is, I don’t need to say!” Lin Xin ignored her harsh words, turned to look at the villagers, and said loudly.
“That’s right, this child definitely isn’t Chu Gongzi’s, otherwise Lin Ju’s mother wouldn’t dare let Lin Ju speak.” Lin Ju’s former neighbor stood in the crowd and said loudly.
“Yeah, if they weren’t guilty, they should let Lin Ju answer.”
“Indeed, has Lin Ju’s mother gone mad? Doesn’t she care about her own child’s reputation?”
“Didn’t you see how she usually treats Lin Ju? If she cared, would she do that?”
“Hey, do you think this Ju girl is her biological daughter?”
“Of course she is. Back then when she gave birth, it was my mother-in-law who delivered it, and during that time in the village, she was the only one giving birth, how could she not be biological?”
“Then why does she treat Ju girl like that?”
“Duh, girls aren’t valuable!”
“I don’t think so. Look, Ju girl doesn’t resemble her dad at all. What if it’s······”
“No way? With a woman like Ju girl’s mother, who would look at her!”
With Lin Ju’s mother incriminating herself, the villagers buzzed with discussion, and the topic unexpectedly veered off completely.
Lin Xin showed a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, looking at Lin Ju’s mother’s now ashen face, and “kindly” asked: “What they said couldn’t be true, right?”
“Bullshit! All bullshit, you······you all wait for me!” Lin Ju’s mother trembled with anger, rushed to the villagers, pointing at them wildly with a ferocious face, spewing threats.
The village had been tormented by her far more than just that one family that moved away, and now with so many people here, no one feared her alone, so they no longer held back, arguing with her you a word me a word.
Lin Ju was immediately freed from restraint, and Lin Xin asked again: “Whose child is in your belly exactly?”
“······I don’t have a child in my belly at all!” Lin Ju gritted her teeth and endured for a long time, but finally told the truth, and because it was reason battling instinct, her voice was very loud, almost drowning out the chaotic villagers and her mother.
As her voice fell, the originally chaotic villagers instantly quieted.
“You say you have no child in your belly, then why did you insist on saying Chu Yu bullied you and got you pregnant?” Taking the opportunity, Lin Xin asked again.
“······My mother took silver, told us to stop you from leaving no matter what method we used.”
“Why Chu Yu?”
“······My mother chose him.”
With Lin Xin’s question and Lin Ju’s answer, the truth of the matter appeared before everyone.
“I say Lin Ju’s mother, you really outdid yourself!”
“Exactly, didn’t you think about where your daughter would get a child to show later?”
“By then she’d have the money, who cares about her daughter?”
“True, if she cared about her daughter’s life, she wouldn’t come up with such a rotten idea.”
The villagers’ varied discussions filled Lin Ju’s mother with righteous indignation, and she argued with everyone again, but though she could argue, she was outnumbered, and in the end slunk away defeated.
Only Lin Xin looked at Lin Ju, the mockery in her eyes undisguised, “You were willing in this matter too, right!”
Perhaps stimulated by her gaze, or because the scheme failed, anyway Lin Ju suddenly shed her previous timidity, shouting loudly at Lin Xin: “So what if I was? At home I don’t live like a person at all. How could I not seize the chance to leave with all my might! Aren’t you also clinging tightly to them to have your good life now? For this, you even gave away Lin Nan. What right do you have to call me out?”
