“Who is she to Su Shen?” a villager whispered to his neighbor.

“She’s so elegant, just like a socialite who returned from overseas!” another responded, marveling at Gu Zi’s appearance.

“I heard from the people in Daqing Village that the biological daughter of the Lin family is now living in the Su family residence,” a woman shared.

As soon as this revelation spread, it became clear to everyone that the beautiful woman was indeed the biological daughter of the Lin family.

The discussions buzzed with increased enthusiasm.

The news of Su Shen and Gu Zi coming to Little Lin Village quickly spread throughout the community.

However, as is often the case with such rumors, the story underwent alterations. It was now widely believed that Su Shen and Gu Zi had come to the Lin family to collect debts.

At this moment, someone in the village saw the Lin family’s eldest son and daughter-in-law walking back.

They deliberately spoke very loudly to vent their dissatisfaction with the Lin family.

“We really misjudged them. They took other people’s money and didn’t return it. What’s the difference between them and thieves?” the villager exclaimed, his voice filled with resentment.

“Look, each of them is carrying a tattered sack. Who knows who they’re pretending to be pitiful for!” another villager chimed in.

“If you do something wrong and your conscience is not clear, then you definitely have to pretend!” a third villager added, further fanning the flames.

Lin Cheng and Li Hua, having heard these derogatory comments, felt embarrassed and disheartened. They lowered their heads and continued walking.

When they were out of earshot, Li Hua timidly addressed her husband, “Ah-Cheng, the Su family is here. What should we do?”

They found themselves in an unfortunate situation.

They had initially gone to the city to work on a construction site, planning to save up money to repay the betrothal gift to the Su Shen.

They didn’t expect that their positions would be taken by two people with connections after only a few days.

Having lost their jobs, they had no choice but to come home.

Lin Cheng, attempting to offer reassurance, replied, “Xiao Hua, don’t worry. Let’s go back and explain everything to Mr. Su. It’s not that we don’t want to return the money, but we just need some time.”

He also felt the pressure of the situation, but seeing his wife’s concern made him try to appear more composed.
