"No way, we won't agree to this. You people from Xingfu Village should stop eyeing our Linjia Village."
"Exactly! We don't care about your little bit of money. We'll never sell our land!"
"You can forget about it!"
At this moment, everyone looked at Zhou Yueshen as if he were a despised capitalist. The few children who had been happily playing were now terrified and didn't dare to speak.
Zhou Yueshen's expression remained calm, neither happy nor angry. "I respect your decision."
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately felt smug. "At least you know your place!"
"Yeah, just because you're a boss doesn't mean we'll bow down to you."
"I'm in control of my fate, not heaven!"
Zhou Yueshen: "..."
Si Nian: "Forget it, let's go."
Zhou Yueshen responded calmly, withdrew his gaze, and drove towards the Lin family's direction. The villagers, seeing them leave, thought the two were scared and felt incredibly smug.
"See? They're nothing special. As long as we stick together, I don't believe he can have his way!"
The others also felt satisfied, thinking how they'd managed to render the factory boss speechless. Hmph!
The woman who had been trembling on the ground for quite a while finally snapped out of it. Hearing the others, she immediately said, "Don't celebrate too soon. I heard the village chief has already agreed. What's the point of our opinions?"
"He might be saying one thing in public and doing another behind our backs, just fooling everyone."
"You've offended him now; who knows if he'll target you later."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed immediately.
"He... he wouldn't dare!"
"If he really dares to pull something like that, Lin Lao'er's family won't be able to stay in our village. I think he's been making too much money lately and has gotten cocky. Let's find some people to knock him down a peg."
"Exactly! While everyone's still home, let's all go together."
"We'll split into two groups—I'll go find the village chief, and you guys go find them. We absolutely cannot give in."
"Let's go!"
Before Zhou Yueshen's car even arrived, he saw Lin's father and mother rushing towards them in a panic.
Si Nian poked her head out of the car. "Mom, Dad, where are you off to in such a hurry?"
Lin's parents had heard that their son-in-law's car was spotted at the village entrance and that there was some commotion, so they rushed over, worried something had happened.
Seeing their daughter and son-in-law now, their faces were filled with concern.
"Nian Nian, are you alright? We heard there was some trouble at the village entrance?"
A few days ago, when they were renovating the house, word got around that their daughter and son-in-law would be coming for the New Year, and ever since, people would pass by and make sarcastic comments.
Ever since the Lin family started their business, made money, and sent Lin Wei to prison, many in the village still had a lot to say about them. Although they wouldn't openly admit it, the disapproval was evident.
Now that their daughter and son-in-law had arrived, they figured some people would have something nasty to say again.
"There was some crazy woman—looked oddly familiar—badmouthing us everywhere."
