Shen Xinyue was actually stumped by Lin Feng; she had never considered this question before. After a moment of thought, she spoke her true feelings honestly.
"I think women like Xiao Lili are quite detestable, but as a woman myself, I understand wanting to pursue the life you desire."
"However, Xiao Lili already has a daughter, Yueyue, and she should think more about Yueyue and this family."
"She cannot sacrifice the interests of the entire village for her own personal gain; her actions are rather immoral."
"Furthermore, Grandpa Wu is so old and caring for Yueyue by himself is not easy. Xiao Lili should be more understanding and considerate of Grandpa Wu, instead of making him angry."
"If it were me, I would also want to teach a woman like Xiao Lili a lesson."
"Her words and actions also make me angry!"
"So, I think you did the right thing, and I support you!"
Shen Xinyue smiled slightly and gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm actually quite happy that you both think this way. Honestly, I've been feeling quite conflicted myself. After all, Xiao Lili is Yueyue's biological mother. Breaking up their family makes me feel a bit uneasy."
As an orphan, Lin Feng longed for a complete family more than anyone else. Therefore, he was unsure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
"You don't need to blame yourself. If Xiao Lili truly cared about Yueyue, she should reflect on her actions later."
"True family cannot be broken apart by anyone, and this has nothing to do with you."
"You have already done everything you possibly could."
Lu Jingzhe rubbed Lin Feng's arm, sensing his deep self-reproach.
"Yes, stop overthinking it."
"I used to think you weren't quite up to par, but after going through these things, I think you're a pretty good person."
Shen Xinyue also comforted Lin Feng with a few words.
"Alright, I'll listen to you both then. I won't think about it anymore!"
Lin Feng hugged Lu Jingzhe, playfully squeezing her waist a few times. His mood immediately improved.
At this time, a large crowd of villagers had gathered at the village entrance. Village Head Ge was diligently recording the medicinal herb yield of each household in his notebook. Seeing Lin Feng and the others approach, Village Head Ge immediately put down his work and walked forward excitedly. "Little Boss Lin, thank you for everything you've done for our village."
"Hmph, what are you so happy about?"
"We don't even know if what he's saying is true. Maybe he's just playing you all!"
Xiao Lili also followed, saying with a sarcastic tone. Village Head Ge glared at Xiao Lili with annoyance. "If he's playing us, we're happy to be played!"
"Our medicinal herbs would rather rot in the ground than be sold to the Tang Corporation!"
"If you're still thinking about selling our medicinal herbs to the Tang Corporation, then get out of our village immediately!"
Village Head Ge had already learned of Xiao Lili's intentions from the villagers. There were no secrets in the village!
"Village Head Ge, don't be so quick to speak. I think you'll be begging me soon!"
Xiao Lili chuckled smugly, wanting to see how long Lin Feng's act would last.
As the sky gradually darkened, the villagers waited at the entrance for a long time, but no helicopter arrived. Lin Feng was also puzzled. He took out his phone and called Tang Wan, only to learn that because of the dense forests, the helicopter had taken a wrong turn and would need some more time to arrive.
"I say, you should all go home and rest early. This little liar is just playing you all. Where's this helicopter? You're all just foolishly believing him!"
Seeing that everyone was getting impatient, Xiao Lili seized the opportunity to provoke them. However, her words did not elicit any response from the villagers. Instead, they unanimously stated, "Xiao Lili, even if Little Boss Lin is playing us, we accept it!"
"Besides, why would he bother playing us? We haven't lost anything. Why would he waste his time fooling around with us?"
"He has good intentions, unlike some people who want to collude with outsiders to cheat us out of our money!"
"If I were you, I wouldn't even have the face to stand here and make sarcastic remarks!"
Village Head Ge was pleased with their response and declared loudly, "Fellow villagers, you've said it well. We may be poor, but we have our integrity!"
"Little Boss Lin is wholeheartedly helping us. Let's wait a little longer. As long as Little Boss Lin is willing to buy our medicinal herbs, we will keep waiting to sell them to him!"
Xiao Lili's face turned red and then pale from being rebutted. She hadn't expected these people to be so united and to trust Lin Feng so much.
"Fine, then you can wait. In any case, I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't sell your medicinal herbs to the Tang Corporation, then wait for them to rot in the ground!"
"At that time, even if you beg me to help you sell them, I won't!"
Xiao Lili said furiously. As soon as she finished speaking, several strong lights shot down from the sky. This was accompanied by the powerful downdraft sound of rotors. Everyone looked up and was stunned to see several helicopters appear in the sky. At that moment, everyone was as excited as if it were New Year's, waving their hands. Village Head Ge was so overcome with joy that he began to weep, nodding continuously at Lin Feng.
