Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Skilled in Calculation and Prediction

Wang Jinshun’s eyes widened in disbelief; he hadn’t expected Lin Chunju to actually be so resolute.

At this moment, he finally felt a hint of regret.

“I was wrong, Sister Lin, I lost my mind,” he said, “I shouldn’t have done something so beastly.”

Wang Jinshun suddenly stood straight and began to plead with Lin Chunju.

“Please forgive me this once, I will not dare to do it again, I will definitely not bother the Yue Family ever again.”

“Please give me a chance, I really know I was wrong.”

Wang Jinshun fell to his knees, kowtowing so fiercely that his forehead quickly got smeared with mud, looking extremely disheveled.

Lin Chunju said coldly, “Stop your acting; I am not going to forgive you this time.”

If Wang Jinshun really had poisoned the pond, not only would the fish be ruined, but the water would have to be completely changed.

Business relies on trust, and if Wang Pengfei came by and couldn’t collect the fish, he might not be willing to cooperate with the Yue Family in the future.

The fish pond business would be basically ruined!

With Wang Jinshun harboring such malicious thoughts, what use was there in his feigned repentance now?

Seeing that Lin Chunju was showing no sign of relenting, a fierce light appeared in Wang Jinshun’s eyes, but he still kept his head down, attempting a final struggle.

“Don’t call the police, I can compensate you, any amount will do,” he begged.

“I didn’t get a chance to act this time, did I? Your fish pond is still fine, please just let me go.”

Lin Chunju turned a deaf ear and asked Village Chief Zhang, “Should we go to the police station now, or wait until daylight?”

“Let’s go now; there are police on duty throughout the night.”

Village Chief Zhang had no sympathy for Wang Jinshun, who was clearly getting his just deserts.

Seeing that playing nice wouldn’t work, Wang Jinshun stiffened his neck and stared bitterly at Lin Chunju.

“Lin, widow,” he snapped, “there’s an old saying: ‘Spare the rod, spoil the child.’ Spare me this time, and I’ll remember your kindness, but if you take things too far, be careful I don’t drag you down with me.”

His gaze swept over Yue Jiandong and Yue Jianxi, “Don’t forget, you still have three children.”

Fire almost shot from Yue Jiandong and Jianxi’s eyes.

The one thing parents hate most is having their children threatened, and Wang Jinshun was clearly unrepentant.

Village Chief Zhang was so angry he spluttered, “Pah! What are you implying? You want to harm the children?”

Wang Jinshun said nothing, only stared fixedly at Lin Chunju.

But Lin Chunju was not intimidated and sneered, “Then give it a try.”

With people like him, if you back down an inch, they’ll take a mile until you have nowhere left to retreat and they take complete advantage.

Yue Jiandong yanked Wang Jinshun up, “Mother, let’s take him to the police station now.”

This calamity of a man made Yue Jiandong so angry he feared he wouldn’t be able to resist kicking him a few times.

News in the village spread quickly, and by the next daybreak, after every household had breakfast, the story of Wang Jinshun being caught attempting to poison the Yue Family’s fish pond had spread throughout the village.

While others were shocked, they were also reflective that the Yue Family had actually chosen to call the police.

Some felt Lin Chunju had gone too far, after all, they were all from the same village, and making a scene like this was unsightly.

Others thought it was the right thing to do; if not for Wang Jinshun, the Yue Family wouldn’t have suffered for so many years. It was all karma.

Besides, this karma was one that Wang Jinshun had brought upon himself.

If he hadn’t harbored bad intentions, would he have been sent to the police station?

However, most felt that the Yue Family’s luck had been incredibly good.

They just happened to go check on the fish pond in the middle of the night and actually discovered something was wrong.

The woman from the household next to the Yue Family gave an animated recount, “I just happened to go out to dump the foot-washing water last night when I saw them heading out.”

“Lin Chunju is amazing; she calculated with her fingers that there would be trouble, and from now on, nobody in the village should mess with the Yue Family—they can foresee it.”

Ever since the advice from Old Lady Zhou last time, and connecting it with many other strange occurrences, she dared not offend the Yue Family in the slightest now.

With the way the woman next door put it, some people in the village actually started to believe, and even those who didn’t still thought the Yue Family was meticulous and careful in their dealings.

Those who had harbored certain thoughts after the Yue Family suddenly became wealthy all lay low and extinguished those unspeakable bad intentions.
