Chapter 57: Filial Piety
Lin Laosan and his family left with their tails between their legs!
The surrounding villagers also left one after another!
When they saw that Lin Yuelan could crush a rock into powder with one foot, their faces immediately turned pale with fright!
They suddenly remembered the fact that the jinx had been sent back by the King of Hell. He had given her divine power so that she wouldn’t be bullied again. And he’d take anyone who she had killed.
Who wasn’t afraid of death? It was a fear common to everyone.
Lin Laosan’s family was afraid of death too! Therefore, after Lin Yuelan’s intimidation, they could only leave unwillingly!
Lin Yuelan looked at Lin Laosan’s family, especially Li Cuihua and Lin Daniu, who were staring at the big tiger with indignant eyes, and immediately sneered.
Of course, Lin Yuelan knew that this matter had not been completely resolved.
Lin Laosan’s family was only temporarily intimidated by her.
In the future, they would come back sniffing whenever she gained some money or benefits, especially Li Cuihua and that self-proclaimed clever scholar, Lin Daniu. They would come to take advantage of her.
In the past, her host had no land, no money, no house, and no power. Even her life wasn’t hers. The Lin family would definitely not recognize such a Lin Yuelan as a member of the Lin family.
But now, things changed. Since Lin Xinlan was here, she would not lead a poor life.
She wanted money, land, and a house. When she made it big, Lin Laosan’s family would stick to her like leeches. These shameless people were thick-skinned enough to ignore that Lin Yuelan had severed blood ties with them. They would come knocking nonstop until they got the things they wanted.
Even if she was given divine power, Lin Yuelan couldn’t do anything to an unreasonable shrew like Li Cuihua.
This was because in this Ancient era, even if Lin Yuelan had cut off relations with Lin Laosan’s family, she was still Lin Laosan’s granddaughter. She was raised by Lin Laosan’s family. Even if she had exposed everything and the Lin Family had only treated her as a slave, even if Lin Yuelan had returned them two bowls of blood, the villagers would still view Lin Yuelan as the daughter of Lin Laosan’s family.

This belief was deep-rooted. Blood was thicker than blood.
From the villagers’ perspective, Lin Laosan’s family could sever ties with Lin Yuelan but not the other way round. Why? It was because of an ancient Chinese belief: filial piety!

The word could be an excuse for all kinds of unreasonable behavior.
Lin Yuelan frowned. This couldn’t do. She had to think of some ways to completely stop Lin Laosan’s family from coming to cause trouble every day.
However, for now, she had no money or power. Plus, she was loathed and ostracized by the villagers because she was the jinx.
