"Furthermore, should you choose to propagate any baseless rumors about them, rest assured that I will enforce the village regulations as appropriate!"
After advising Ms. Lin, the village chief proceeded to caution Qian Dashan.
Although Ms. Lin felt a surge of irritation, she refrained from defying the village chief, opting instead to vent her frustration through muttered criticisms.
"He can be easily swayed for a meager sum! What sort of character does he possess? He shares the same ancestry as us, tracing back to our great-grandparents! Should he continue disregarding his relations, he'll undoubtedly face shame when reuniting with his forefathers in the afterlife!"
"Why didn't he invoke the village regulations when our land was sold?"
Qian Dashan intervened, halting Ms. Lin's tirade. "Cease this now, or we may attract unwarranted attention!"
"The village chief undoubtedly has his reasons for his actions!"
