Chapter 263 Being Taken Advantage of
Upon seeing that it was Scarface who had smashed the man's head, the man immediately fell silent. Being hit was better than losing his life.
Scarface approached Gu Dachui and said, "You keep calling her a little widow, but she's still their stepmother."
"Since she's someone else's stepmother, it has nothing to do with you. What right do you have to ask someone to kick their stepmother out?"
“The Lin family is selfish and unwilling to share their food. People like them should not stay in Gujia Village at all; they should all be driven out.”
“That’s right, people like that shouldn’t stay here. We should kick their whole family out…”
So it was all about food again. Scarface almost laughed in anger when he heard this. He stared coldly at the countless angry faces in front of him.
"What does it have to do with you if they have food at home? Why should they give it to you?"
"Who are you all? Have you ever helped their family? Have you been friendly to them? Why should they help you?"
"Didn't any of you think about what you've done before you came here?"
The Lin family had a terrible life before; everyone in Gujia Village ostracized them. Now, everyone was starving and had nothing to eat, so they all turned to the Lin family.
If people are unwilling to help, they are considered selfish. But have they ever thought about what they have done before?
Upon hearing this, some people recalled their past actions, but that didn't mean much to them.
"We did exchange a few words, but those were just gossip we talked about when we got together."
"Why take it so seriously when it's just a few words? You've already said them, haven't you forgotten them all?"
"Exactly! It's just a few words, right? Once you've said them, just forget about them. Why hold onto them until now!"
"We don't have such petty people around here!"
"That's right, that's right..."
"It's just..."
Hearing what they said, Scarface realized that he had been really kind before; when he wanted to deal with someone, he always just took action directly.
Unlike these gossipy women, who recount the whole story from beginning to end and then try to distort the truth.
If the Lin family had taken this seriously, judging by the three brothers' tempers, the entire Gu family village would probably be deserted by now!
But these people are so ungrateful. Isn't it good enough that they're living well? Why do they have to provoke those people?
Don't they realize that some people are simply not people they can provoke?
"You all say it's just a matter of a few words, and that's it?"
“Alright then!” Scarface pointed at someone: “I’ll say a few words today and see if you can just let this go.”
The person being pointed at didn't care at all: "Fine, go ahead and say it if you dare."
"I said your father is dead, your mother ran away with someone else, you'll be separated from your wife and children and be a bachelor for the rest of your life, how does that sound?"
"Damn it, how can you talk such nonsense? It's the New Year, how can you say such things?"
Scarface saw his anger but ignored him, pointing to another person and continuing, "Your wife is cheating on you, your daughter and children are someone else's, you've been cuckolded by your wife, and she left with the children..."
Unsurprisingly, the second person also became angry, repeatedly saying that Scarface was talking nonsense, and even tried to rush up and hit him.
Scarface noticed the expressions on the two men's faces, then looked at the others: "So? Do you want to hear more from me?"
No one answered. He then looked at the two men and said, "It's just a few words, isn't it? It's not even true. Why are you so angry? You're the ones who said those words."
The two men who had been angry earlier looked at Scarface and said, "You can't just spout nonsense and spread rumors!"
"When you talk about the Lin family, aren't you just spouting nonsense and spreading rumors?"
As soon as he finished speaking, no one spoke; everyone fell silent, but they were unwilling to leave just like that.
They've tried this several times already, and each time they've come back empty-handed. If this time is the same, they'll really starve to death.
One of them stepped forward and said, "We don't want to cause trouble. We just want the Lin family to give us some food. If this continues, we'll definitely starve to death before we freeze to death."
"Yes, yes, we just don't want to starve to death, we just want to survive, is that wrong?"
"That's right! It doesn't matter if I starve to death, but I have a little baby at home. I can't just watch that little baby starve to death!"
Once one happened, another followed, and suddenly the entire area in front of the Gu family's house was filled with wails. All they wanted was to survive; none of them wanted to starve to death. Why was it so difficult for them?
"You all want to live, but don't the Lin family want to too? You want the Lin family to give you food, but have you ever considered whether they even have the food you want?"
After Scarface finished asking his question, everyone fell silent, because none of them knew whether the Lin family actually had the food they needed.
Before they arrived, they had only heard from others that the Lin family had food but was unwilling to share it, which is why they came to cause trouble.
But now when asked, none of them can answer who that person is or who told them!
Seeing their expressions, Scarface knew what was going on.
"Are you all brainless? You've been used, do you even realize it?"
“That person sent you here to make such a scene, making you offend the entire Lin family. If you cause any more trouble, even if they really have food, they probably won’t give it to you.”
"The people who told you that message wanted you to offend the Lin and Gu families so that the Lin family would never save you."
Upon hearing this, the people who had been crying and making a fuss just moments before fell completely silent. Some of the quick-thinking ones thought about it carefully and found the problem.
That's right! None of them had actually seen the Lin family having any food; they had all heard about it from others, so they gathered together and came here early in the morning.
They hadn't even gone when the village chief notified them, and only now, hearing this, did they realize they had really been deceived.
Gu Wu, who had been watching the show from outside for a long time, pouted with some regret when he saw that they had all quieted down.
He had come to deliver a message for his father, and after going from house to house until his feet were almost frozen, no one listened to him.
Fine, if he doesn't want to listen, he doesn't want to listen. So he followed them to the Gu family's door and watched the commotion.
