The village head's words brought understanding to many villagers who had been displeased with Lin Yue taking in refugees. Although they still harbored some resentment towards the refugees, they realized that if it weren't for Lin Yue's actions, the village would likely continue to suffer at the hands of the refugees. In comparison, they knew what Lin Yue did was for the best.
"But village head, if Erhu's wife had the ability, why didn't she take in those refugees when they first entered the village? Instead, she waited until the village had already been harmed before stepping in. Clearly, she had no good intentions and wanted to see us suffer," said Zhao Pingshun, addressing the crowd. Not everyone was grateful for Lin Yue's kindness—for instance, the Zhao Wufu family, and especially Zhao Pingshun, who had been ousted from Zhao Erhu's home for scheming against Erhu along with Zhang Xiaoyu.
