Trying to swindle me? This was Lin Ziyin's first reaction.
"Lin Ziyin, best you're back. Our Dasheng fell from the tree picking fruits for your house. That high a tree, almost took his life. Now, his leg is broken and he can't do anything. Our family depends on him. You ought to compensate us," said Zhou Dasheng's wife, Mrs. Pang, sobbing as she approached.
Right off, they were asking for money. Lin Ziyin sneered. So they thought she was a sucker. "Your man broke his leg and, in what way does that involve me? Why should I compensate you?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pang was stunned, and then enraged. She knew this wretch wouldn't readily give them money. But, if they didn't get the money today, the entire family's sustenance would be counting on the Lin Family.
Thinking of the Lin Family's meals every day, Mrs. Pang felt living there wasn't a bad idea.
