"Fang Tong, Fang Tong, what's wrong with you?"
The sudden change of events caused the other man to panic.
He called out his companion's name loudly, but the man was still laughing. However, at this moment, his voice sounded like a squashed duck.
"What, what did you do to him?"
The man was not as courageous as Fang Tong, but he was fine just a moment ago. Now that he was in such a state, the first thing he suspected was the woman who had appeared out of nowhere and the Gong family.
But Lin Mengya ignored him. Instead, she glanced at the crowd around her.
When she noticed that the people were avoiding her gaze, she knew that it was time to say something.
She walked up to the Gong family and spoke calmly.
"It's true that the title deed to the land in Karghalik belongs to the Gong family. However, the Gong family has been benevolent for generations and would never rob a house by force. Today, they were greedy for money, faked their own deaths and blackmailed us. Moreover, they had insulted the Gong family, which was why they were punished. "
She spoke calmly and naturally, and no one dared to refute her.
After all, they had just witnessed the man laughing hysterically. They were in a state of shock, so they did not dare to speak.
Lin Mengya was satisfied with the crowd's reaction.
Very good, they were afraid now. Then, it would be easier for her to speak.
"To tell the truth, the Gong family would like to take back the land in Karghalik. However, we will purchase it at least twice the market price. Anyone who wants to sell their house can look for me at the Gong family's old mansion if the price is lower than this. I'll make up for it immediately. "
Her words caused some people's hearts to begin to stir.
However, they had their own concerns.
"Miss, if you want to buy our house, where are we going to stay?"
"That's right, we've been here for decades. How else can we make a living?"
These were all practical problems. Apart from the fact that it was difficult to leave their homeland, they were also concerned about how to make a living.
"Don't panic, we're only taking back the property rights of the houses and shops. There's a large piece of land outside the city that has no owner. You can build a house there. As for the shops in the city, you can continue as before. Moreover, the Gong family will be responsible for paying for the houses. In the future, your children will be able to attend school in the city for free. If you really don't want to sell, I won't force you. However, I will say this first. I will only give everyone one year to think about it. After one year, if you still don't want to sell, we won't force you, but we will never buy again. Everyone, please spread the word and think about it. "
These conditions tempted the majority of people.
But selling the house was a big deal, and one person could not make the decision.
Lin Mengya knew that, so she didn't urge him.
"Miss, if we want to sell, where can we find you?"
In the crowd, some bold people began to have ideas.
Lin Mengya replied with a smile.
"You only need to go to the Gong Family's old residence immediately. From tomorrow onwards, there will be someone specially to receive you. Everyone should think about it carefully and discuss it with their families. I will await your arrival at the Gong Family's old residence. "
Now that he had said this much, those who were tempted would naturally rush back home to discuss the matter, afraid that they would miss this great opportunity.
As for those who were hesitant or disagreeing, they all went back.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
As for Fang Tong, he could no longer laugh.
He was lying on the ground like a sheep whose throat had been cut.
Bright red blood flowed from his throat. His companion was already scared out of his wits.
"Little sister, what should we do with this man?"
Since the crowd had dispersed, Gong Wu no longer had to hide the cold killing intent in his eyes.
Lin Mengya sneered and said softly.
"Go back and tell your master that if you want to protect him, just cut off his tongue. Remember, you have to pay the price for speaking rudely. Today, it's you, but tomorrow, it will be him. "
Lin Mengya spoke casually, but every word she said was filled with a strange smell of blood.
The man did not dare to stay any longer. He supported his companion and ran away along the alley.
"Fifth Young Master, who is this?"
The middle-aged man who had been watching the whole process asked with a frown.
"It's my little sister, the eldest daughter of the Gong Family, and also the future head of the family!"
At the mention of his sister, Gong Yu couldn't help showing off to everyone as if he had obtained a rare treasure.
Looking at his silly expression, Lin Mengya could only sigh helplessly.
"So it's you, Eldest Miss. May I ask if what you've done is inappropriate?"
The man's frown deepened. Lin Mengya found it a little strange.
"What's inappropriate about it?"
"Don't you think your method is too insidious? The head of the Gong Family has been kind for generations, and has never used such appalling methods. If you insist on doing this, I'm afraid the Gong Family will incur the wrath of the public! "
Before she could react, Gong Wu was the first to express his displeasure.
"Gong Qiang, what do you mean by this? Shouldn't we teach that man a lesson for slandering the Gong Family? "
Gong Qiang still refused to give in, and instead argued with justice.
"You shouldn't teach him a lesson like this. He's so cruel and merciless, so it's obvious that he's not a good person!"
Gong Wu went crazy. In an instant, he rushed up and gave Gong Qiang a hard punch. Neither of them gave in to the other, and they wrestled with each other.
"Enough!"
Gong Qiang was no match for Gong Yu. After receiving a few punches, blood spurted out from his nose.
Lin Mengya did not want to make a scene, but she no longer had a good impression of Gong Qiang.
"Let me ask you, where were you when the Gong Family's old mansion was taken over by the Yu Family?"
She looked at Gong Qiang indifferently, and the latter spoke angrily after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"At that time, the old ancestor asked us to hide and wait for an opportunity to take back the old mansion!"
"You hid when the old ancestor asked you to. Where were you when great-grandfather was wandering around and suffering? Look at your wife and children, they look sallow and emaciated. What were you doing? Why didn't you take care of them? What were you doing when Fang Tong insulted the Gong Family just now? Humph, you're a coward, and yet you're speaking with justice. If you're really a man of the Gong Family, why didn't you go to the Yu Family and look for those who wanted to harm the Gong Family? Instead, you fought with your own family. You're really promising! "
Gong Qiang widened his eyes in anger at Lin Mengya's rebuke, but he could not refute her.
"Wah … Mother, Qiao 'er is hungry. Qiao' er wants to eat!"
A child who was being held in the arms of a skinny woman suddenly burst into tears.
Although the child was dressed like a boy, his voice was that of a delicate girl.
The woman panicked when she saw the child crying out of hunger. However, she still patiently coaxed her child.
"Qiao 'er? What Qiao 'er? Where's our son? "
Gong Qiang was shocked by the girl's crying. He did not even bother to stand up as he shouted loudly.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Be good, Qiao 'er. Mother will feed you now."
The woman took out a small piece of black and yellow biscuit and gave it to the skinny daughter in her arms.
"Let me ask you, my son, our son. Where's our son? Who is she? Who's Qiao 'er? "
Gong Qiang climbed to his feet and questioned the woman loudly.
However, the woman's eyes were filled with tears, and the way she looked at him was as gray as a withered tree.
"Son, you still remember your son? Our son, the flesh of my heart! He starved to death a long time ago. As a mother, I'm useless. I couldn't protect my child and even let his body be taken away by wild dogs. Gong Qiang, where are you? Where are you? "
Madam's voice was filled with tears of blood, and her cries were heartbreaking.
Qiao 'er, who was in her arms, was also frightened. She hugged the biscuit and cried on the woman's shoulder.
"I'm not human! He's not human! "
Gong Qiang wept bitterly and slapped his own mouth.
"But, before I left, didn't I leave some silver for you?"
The woman seemed to be unable to control herself as she punched Gong Qiang.
"They were all snatched away by those people. They said that the Gong Family was finished, so they no longer had any scruples. My son starved to death just like that! "
The madam's cries were too miserable, but her thin and weak body could not bear it.
Seeing that she was about to faint from crying, Lin Mengya sighed and said.
"Sister-in-law, although your biological son is gone, don't you still have Qiao 'er? Come, give the child to me. How can a child only eat dry biscuits? "
The woman subconsciously tightened her grip, for fear that the little girl in her arms would be snatched away.
Lin Mengya smiled at them. The little girls, who were afraid of strangers, secretly looked at her.
"Come with me. We'll let your mother have a good rest, okay?"
The child's heart was very pure. She could feel that the beautiful aunt in front of her was not a bad person.
However, she really couldn't bear to part with her mother. Although she was picked up, her mother always protected her and didn't let her suffer the slightest bit of grievance.
Her little hands tightened around her mother's neck, and she put her face on her mother's face to comfort her.
Lin Mengya could not help but sigh. It was good to have a daughter. Daughters were so caring.
"Sister-in-law, I can see that you're not in good health. Why don't you come with me to the main house to recuperate?"
No matter how disgusted she was with Gong Qiang, mothers always appreciated each other's talents.
Seeing her child die in front of her, a mother's heart was broken. She was able to survive until now because of this new child.
"Hmph, we'll take her away. You can reflect on yourself here!"
In fact, Gong Wu's eyes had turned red. He gently pulled Gong Qiang's wife away and turned to speak to Gong Qiang coldly.
"You're kind and righteous to others, but in the end, who will be kind and righteous to you?"
Lin Mengya was not hitting him when he was down. She just hoped that Gong Qiang, who was used to being cowardly, could realize a fact.
When fighting with an evil wolf, if one was soft-hearted, he would be digging his own grave.
