The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1638: The Current Situation of Lin Family Village

Translator: Lonelytree

In the past two years, the happiest thing in the Lin Family Village was none other than the fact that the youngest son of the Village Chief, Lin Mingqing, had been elected as Ju Ren!

Lin Mingqing passed the exam, and the Lin Family villagers, who had been living a stifled life for two years, finally had a chance to hold their heads high.

Two years ago, some people in the Lin Family Village were blinded by greed and for some money. Under the instigation of someone with ill intentions, they actually went to the capital with Lin Laosan’s family to sue Lin Yuelan, who had already become the princess of the Guguo.

In the end, they failed to sue and instead suffered retribution from the heavens. A bolt of lightning struck down, and Lin Laosan’s family was charred to death. As for the Lin family villagers who were not charred to death, they were all beheaded by the Emperor for slandering the princess of the Guguo and violating the dignity of the royal family.

At that time, including Lin Laosan’s family and the rest of the Lin Family Village, there were more than thirty people. All of them did not return.

However, the most depressing thing was that those relatives couldn’t even bring their corpses back.

Because they had no money!

After they were beheaded, they were thrown into a mass grave by the Ministry of Justice.

However, it was said that the people who sued Lin Yuelan were not beheaded. Instead, they were locked in prison and killed.

As soon as this matter came out, it immediately attracted the ridicule of the villagers from the other villages!

The Lin Family Village was considered a big village to the surrounding villages.

Moreover, this village had a reputation and was envied by the other villagers.

This was because this village had not only produced a few Elementary Scholars but also High Scholars.

It could be said that the entire Lin Family Village was shining.

Perhaps the Lin Family Village was too arrogant because of this glory, causing some people to be more selfish and greedy.

Even if the Lin Family Village Chief was a good one, he could not stop the greed and selfishness of the people.

As a result, someone was instigated to go to the capital to sue Lin Yuelan without the chief knowing.

However, no one expected that everyone would lose their lives.

Even if the village chief wanted to rush to the capital to save them, it would be too late.

Moreover, Lin Yuelan had already let those people off time and time again on account of the village chief.

However, these people were not as capable as they were. Instead, they were jealous.

This jealousy, coupled with greed, had ultimately harmed them.

However, after this matter spread from the capital to all the villages, the Lin family village became the laughingstock of the other villages.

The people of the Lin Family Village were really ignorant.

It wasn’t easy for the Lin Family Village to have a princess. Not only did they not curry favour with her, but they also wanted to harm her. They were just ordinary people. How could they defeat a princess?

Not only could they not win, they even lost their lives.

Although the Lin Family Village was a large village, its population was not very large. In total, there were only three to four hundred people. Moreover, they had lost dozens of people in a short time. It was extremely embarrassing to begin with. In addition to the crimes that the Emperor had decreed, the Lin Family Village had suddenly become a village of criminals.

In the past two years, anyone who went to the market would be pointed at and avoided. Even the town was unwilling to sell them anything.

This was because everyone in An Ding County knew that the Lin Family

Village had not only offended Princess Gu but also the Emperor.

Everyone in the world knew that Princess Lin Yuelan had been adopted by the Emperor.

Offending the Emperor’s adopted daughter was equivalent to offending the Emperor.

Therefore, in the past two years, the villagers of Lin Family Village had been living especially hard. They had to cover their faces when they saw outsiders. They had no confidence and were even more embarrassing!

However, after Lin Yuelan returned, Lin Yiwei led all the men and women of the Lin Family Village, old and young, from the 80-year-old to the crying babies, to kneel at the entrance of the Lin Family Garden and kowtow to Lin Yuelan as an apology.

Lin Yuelan had been attacked by the people of Lin Family Village one too many times.

Therefore, when the village chief brought everyone to apologize, Lin Yuelan accepted it without any guilt.

She also warned everyone in the Lin Family Village that this was the last time she would give face to the Village Chief and not pursue the responsibility of the Lin Family villagers.

However, all the family members who participated in the complaint had to take a detour when they saw her. Moreover, those people could not participate in school and could not use the planting method introduced by the imperial court.

This indirectly prevented these people from having the chance to take the examination. At the same time, it also prevented them from becoming rich..
