Chapter 179: Chapter 179: This Is Really Wonderful
Upon hearing this, a frown crept onto Lin Caisang’s face. Because there were several types of water wheels: large, small, the kind that was pedaled like stairs, and those fitted with bamboo irrigation pipes that channeled water from the height of the windmill all the way down the hill.
This bit was a conundrum she had imposed upon her eldest brother. If Lin Changhong could perfect them all, she would certainly bring him to Ji Zhaokong’s space to thoroughly understand the art of creating chanisms.
“I’ll have my elder brother co up the mountain tomorrow.”
“Um, you…”
“The girl Sang, the girl Sang, you’d better go see, soone has co to your house.”
Ya Molian wanted to ask sothing, but a wheezing voice called from outside, causing their brows to furrow simultaneously.
“It’s been three days, the county court should’ve almost concluded even the biggest of cases, right? Only just ca?” she asked with a puzzled look at Ya Molian.
She wasn’t quite clear about the matters in the county court. Could it be Liu Rui stirring up troubles again? Trying to send Lin Changfeng away? Did she truly think Ya Village was devoid of people?
“As far as I know, Liu Qingshui’s case is closed. Liu Rui paid a thousand taels of silver in bribes to the county magistrate and another five hundred to the plaintiff, which got Liu Qingshui sprung free. There should be…”
Ya Molian did not understand what other visitors they could expect in Ya Village.
Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang grew even more perplexed. If everything was settled, would the county officials really co to her house for no reason, perhaps to shed so weight?
“Uncle Zhu, who’s here? The people from the county council?” She asked Lin Azhu, who had hurried to bring her these news.
“What county council, it’s your um… Ouch! I shouldn’t curse, Liu Rui it is, who has stord over with a bunch of people.” Lin Azhu spoke with a clearly disgruntled expression.
“Liu Rui?”
Lin Caisang’s brows raised and her lips faintly curled.
“This is truly interesting.”
If Liu Qingshui had co out unscathed, Liu Rui stirring trouble at such a ti instead of celebrating for her son at ho must imply so significant occurrence.
Just what kind of serious matter could it be in the Liu Family? Was it Liu Yushui’s betrothal to the Zhou Family has been annulled because of Liu Qingshui?
It most likely was.
“Brother Molian, I’ll leave you to your business while I go back ho to get a look at the situation.” She said to Ya Molian and was quickly on her way.
…
At Lin family, Liu Rui had indeed brought several of her servants, but against Lin Changhong and other n who had rushed over to help sensing the ominous situation, they held no upper hand and had been beaten to the point of a split lip. She was forced into a corner and heavily guarded by the n, daring not to budge.
Liu Rui, anwhile, has managed to sit atop the newly sprouted vegetable seedlings in the yard, wailing her heart out.
“Lin Changfeng, you cursed— won’t you even help
with such a small matter? Your cousin Qingshui is suffering. You heartless and ruthless thing, how can you be so cold? For the sake of a petty status of being a scholar, you’ve completely abandoned your own family.
You’re simply not human. I’m going to let everyone know that you, Lin Changfeng, are worse than a swine!”
“You—”
Listening to Liu Rui’s foul-mouthed curses, Lin Changhong was hopping mad. He wanted to go and toss this woman out, but no sooner had he started moving when he was gripped firmly on the arm by Lin Changfeng, immobilized.
“Brother Changfeng, listen to what she is saying. Is her son the only one that matters?” Lin Changhong glared at Liu Rui, yelling furiously.
