"Gu Zi is certainly a woman of means," the villagers murmured among themselves. "Without her cunning, would Su Shen be so utterly bewitched? I've heard that Su Shen even does her laundry and cooks for her after work. He even lets her manage the pig farm. I fear the Lin family has incurred her wrath, and they won't see a day of peace from now on..."
The villagers, gathered around the spectacle, cast sympathetic glances towards the Lin family. Their expressions were filled with pity, as if they had forgotten that Lin Jie was imprisoned for assaulting Gu Zi's father, Lin Lao'er. If Lin Jie had any respect for family ties, why would he lay a hand on his own uncle, Lin Lao'er? Yet, now they were blaming Gu Zi for being heartless.
