Chapter 300 - [Bonus ] Announce Death Penalty
" I understand mother," said Lin Jing, though he understood the meaning behind his mother, he too realised that there was no longer a need for him to go to the mountains and hunt anymore, after all their family was no longer in a perilous situation as before and there was no need for him to dance with death for a measly sum of money. And now he was no longer a bachelor who had no responsibilities, he was a married man if something happened to him, his wife - will have to live as his widow.
This pain he would never want to inflict on his wife.
" yes mother from now on I and Jing ge will stay clear of the mountains" promised Su Wan, she too didn"t want to go to the mountains anymore. Though she was a woman with her heart clad in an iron suit, this incident left her in shock. Even now she could smell the horrendous smell coming from the mouth of the wolf and the sight of the wolf lunging at her would flash in her mind every now and then.
So she too had no intention of going up the mountains for a very long time.
Only then did mother Lin stop waving her fierce weapon and give up on chasing the two around the courtyard.? Though she was panting whole sweat dripped down from her forehead, it was a sight to see as mother Lin still somehow made herself look stern and harsh " you better or the lesson won"t end with just you two getting a beating! "
Su Wan and Lin Jing nodded their heads sincerely at Mother Lin"s threat while the villagers who were standing in the Lin brothers courtyard didn"t know where to put their hands or feet.
What did Zhao Lan mean by this? The men couldn"t help but feel unhappy, if Lin Jing doesn"t go up the mountains to hunt, then wouldn"t they be responsible for laying down traps from next year?
Even the wives of these strong and st.u.r.dy men were dissatisfied. What was the meaning of this? Does Zhao Lan want their husbands to go up the mountains and lay traps from next year? What do honest farmers know about hunting and laying down traps? she gotta be joking!
But the one who was shocked and miserable was Luo Chenxi. Standing beside her father, Luo Chenxi couldn"t help but feel agitated as she stared at the completely fine Su Wan. Why? Why was this woman alright? Why didn"t she die after she fell from the cliff? Shouldn"t she be crushed to her death after falling from the cliff like that? How come she was still alright!
Luo Chenxi was feeling hopeless, she worked so hard and spent most of her savings to hire those hooligans and even slept with that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Du to make her plan successful then why didn"t her plan succeed? Why didn"t Su Wan die! Luo Chenxi bit her nails fretfully, she was afraid that Su Wan would come after her, with her luck that b.i.t.c.h might have just seen her that night when she pushed her! And here she thought that as long as she pushed her off the cliff no one would have any evidence against her to think she never once thought about the counter-plans in case Su Wan survived.
She was afraid and anxious but still kept a straight face as if to make sure that no one doubts her. Even if everyone was to think that she was responsible for what happened to Su Wan no one had any evidence and she made sure to leave a couple of witnesses behind who saw her returning to her home instead of going up the mountains but still what if the Lin brothers came after her?
The person who was even more scared than Luo Chenxi was Uncle Du, he couldn"t believe his eyes no matter how long he stared at Lin Jing he just couldn"t believe his eyes! How can a person still manage to survive even after rolling down the cliff with a wolf lunging on top of him? Uncle Du couldn"t understand it, why was he so unlucky!
He swallowed and looked around, thankfully his elder brother was still there standing behind the Village head with other elders of the village. As long as his brother was here, no one would be extremely disrespectful towards him. Even if he was in the wrong.
" mother it"s alright, " said Lin Yan as he helped his mother calm down and sit down, after he helped his mother, he turned to the village head and bowed before speaking " Village chief, I would like to report someone for attempting to kill my elder brother"
As soon as Lin Yan said these words, the entire village blew up. From every direction gasps and stifled screams could be heard - reporting someone for murder? Who tried to do something so sinister? Even if the villagers were selfish they weren"t gutsy enough to kill someone thus when they heard Lin Yan"s charges they were stunned and too shocked to speak.
Even the village head"s expression turned sombre as he asked in a serious tone " murder? Are you sure someone tried to kill your eldest brother "
" I"m sure, " said Lin Yan in an a.s.sured manner? "if Village head doesn"t believe my words you can ask my brother and his hunting team they were the ones who told me about such a serious issue, until now even I believed that my brother fell from the cliff on his own"
"Say, who did it" seeing the hunting team nod silently agreeing to Lin Yan"s words, the Village head spoke sternly as he swept a sharp gaze at the villagers who shivered. The village head rarely got angry but when he got angry he was like a devil! Ah!
" Who else but that old man Uncle Du !" Lu Lin couldn"t stay silent for long as he jumped and pointed at Uncle Du who was trying to act his best in staying inconspicuous " he was the one who pushed brother Jing in front of the wolf! I saw it with my own eyes !"
This time another uproar issued, as everyone turned to look at Uncle Du. They all knew that the old man was greedy and selfish, a man full of vain pride and arrogance because he was the brother of the village elder but being proud of his vanity and killing someone were totally different things!
"What nonsense !" Uncle Du was a man who wouldn"t die until he saw his grave, thus, he immediately jumped on his feet and shouted as if agitated " village head they are lying! Trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. They are just angry that I ran away while they couldn"t, Lu Lin, you brat how can you be so selfish? So what if this old man ran away before you? Do you really have to think so hard to scheme against me just for a petty thing like that?"
Just like that Old man Du changed the course of the conversation making it sound like that he was in the right while the others were in the wrong ( A/n : he is annoying I need to banish him soon)

In the Dong Tong village charges were drawn and a court hearing was started but in the Su family village, Shen Junxi was all set to announce the death penalty as he stood outside the grand manor of his benefactor who was supposed to be kind-hearted and generous.
