Clan Chief Ya had never anticipated that the few people he had brought along to boost his standing would switch sides and stand with Lin Caisang, completely isolating him.
Yet, he was powerless. And who else could he blame when he was filled with regret?
The granddaughter was his, wasn’t she? Her temperament was spoilt by him, wasn’t it? It was his responsibility to bear, wasn’t it?
"Clan Chief Ya, let me make it clear to you today. Even if I, Lin Caisang, were to marry, I wouldn’t marry a man from the Ya Clan, nor would I find a husband in this village. All of you, stop your absurd schemes!"
As Clan Chief Ya was about to explain himself, Lin Caisang spoke directly to him.
"Lin Caisang, you make it sound so easy. Who would believe your words?" Upon hearing her words, Ya Yuju sprang forward, reaching out to scratch Lin Caisang’s face.
This face had become too unbearable to look at. What used to be an ugly pig was now unusually attractive. She was so infuriated that she was determined to ruin Lin Caisang’s face!
However, in the next moment...
A firm slap landed on her face, knocking her head sideways and causing the tears to well up again.
"Ya Yuju, I’ve warned you, haven’t I? If you dare to approach anyone from the Lin Family again, I will hit you each time I see you, without mercy!" Yang Lin’s hand maintained the position it had fallen into after hitting Ya Yuju, issuing a harsh warning to her.
Ya Yuju, holding her face, looked up at Yang Lin in disbelief.
She had been punished by Yang Lin in the past because her grandfather wasn’t around. Now, they had the audacity to hit her in the presence of her grandfather!
"What are you trying to say? If you dare to approach anyone from the Lin Family again, not only will I slap you, but I will bring out a knife. Don’t think that because I am pregnant, I wouldn’t dare to use a knife. Let me remind you, even now, I can still slaughter chickens and butcher cattle without hesitation!"
As Yang Lin continued speaking, her attention shifted, and her gaze fell on Clan Chief Ya.
"Clan Chief Ya, you know that ever since I married into Ya Village, I’ve been nothing but kind to my neighbours. But today, when your granddaughter pushed me onto a stone, nearly causing the loss of my child, I will not tolerate it.
You better control this granddaughter of yours, and keep her away from our home. Otherwise, if she gets injured someday, don’t blame me! After all, a pregnant mother, when driven to madness, is capable of anything!"
Clan Chief Ya was equally shocked by Yang Lin’s words, staring at her, unable to regain his composure.
In his memory...no, Yang Lin basically left no impression on him. Every time he visited the Lin Family, Yang Lin was like an invisible person who kept to her tasks and hardly spoke.
He really hadn’t expected that such a subdued woman would become so fierce when provoked, even daring to issue such a stern warning to the clan chief.
"Clan Chief Ya, don’t blame my wife for her harsh words." Having seen his aunt’s rage produce the desired effect, Lu Qiubo stepped forward to mollify Clan Chief Ya with a softer remark.
"You really scared our family half to death just now. If it weren’t for our quick-thinking Sangsang, if my wife had been seriously injured by your granddaughter and lost our child, how would your family compensate us? Would we drag your granddaughter to the county office to serve time in jail?"
