Chapter 510 A dog
The next morning mournful shouts of the old Lin family resonated in the village, they were crying so loud it felt like they were actually mourning someone's death. At once the villagers were startled, they all no matter what they were doing whether freshening up or washing their faces, jumped together. A few of the unlucky ones actually dropped the firewood that he has collected and the other one who was learning to catch the fish simply dropped the fish rod that he has made in the river, scaring away the fish at once.
All the villagers who suffered couldn't help but walk out of their house and rush to the source of this trouble, they too wanted to see just who was the one who died that his family was making such a ruckus.

" Uwaa a ghost!" A child around the age of ten exclaimed as he instinctively took several steps back, he has never seen such a thing before, what kind of ghost was this? All his limbs were awkwardly spread around and he looked really scary, the child's sudden sound caused the crying to seize momentarily before Grandma Lu who was walking like her son was already dead immediately scolded the child who just spoke up, " you brat what nonsense you are talking about? Look carefully it is your uncle Ze! What ghost? Don't you dare to curse my son like this or else I will show you how it's done!"
The child was the one whom Lin Ze cursed at earlier and he has already complained about Lin Ze to his parents, the two were honest working villagers who simply wanted to live their lives in peace and knew that there was no point in fighting with shrews like the Lin family thus, they didn't go and fight with Lin Ze when he called their only son an unlucky brat who was doomed to have a hard life, they thought that rather than wasting their spit on someone like Lin Ze they might as well work hard in their fields.
But now the situation was different, Grandma Lin dared to curse their son in front of them and even scared their son, how can the two stay silent even now? So, the mother of the boy pulled him behind her and fiercely scolded grandma Lin back, " Who do you think you are to scold my son like this? Look at the face of your precious son before saying anything. God, knows what he has been doing all night that he ended up like this. Now that his face looks so monstrous what did my son say so wrong? If you are so upset then you should have taught your son to act like a human and stay at home like a decent man."
What Lin Ze and the widow have been doing was no secret to the villagers, though the era allowed polygamy and let a man have many wives but that was something that was only meant for the Emperor, the ministers and the officials. Who was Lin Ze? He was just a normal man who couldn't be even counted as a decent farmer, how dare he think of having an affair with another woman when his first wife was still alive and that too with a woman who was like ten years younger than him? Even though the villagers said nothing they looked down on Lin Ze and the Lin family for allowing such an amorous thing to happen in their village.
Grandma Lin who was scolded by the mother of the child immediately puffed up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Lin Ze was her lifeline and she was willing to even fight with death for her son, what was this woman compared to death? She immediately pointed at the woman and started shouting like an uncouth woman, " You bitch, what do you mean that my son is not living like a human, if he isn't living the life of a human, do you think that he is living the life of an animal?"

And just don't randomly think that I am just calling him some other animal, I am calling him a dog, a dog who runs around wagging his thing to this bitch and that."
The widow called An Xia choked on her sobs and glared at the woman who indirectly called her a bitch, how dare she? Does she even know who she was? She was the favourite of Lord Xing and she was only staying with this sleazy man because she was afraid that the Xing family will harm her child. How dare this village woman call her a bitch? One day she will get out of this village and live a life of city madam, just wait till then!
" Ahhh, you slut I will rip your mouth!" With a cry, Grandma Lin lunged at the woman but before she could so much as touch the latter, the head of the village arrived and shouted, " stop!"
Even though Grandma Lin Didn't want to stop, in front of village head Luo, she has to rein in her temper. She has heard from the villagers that after his daughter ran away with that secret lover of hers, Village head Luo was no longer as patient as he was before though he hadn't become corrupt yet but it would be foolish of her to offend him when he was like this so, she clamped her mouth shut and looked at Village head Luo who was charging towards them with a furious look on his face, " just what the hell is wrong with you all? It's not even morning yet and you all are creating such a loud ruckus so early?" Then he turned to look at the crowd and asked, "what's wrong?"
