Chapter 24 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
Although Lin Xiao's analysis cannot be scrutinized carefully, it is more than enough to scare these illiterate villagers.
They were all thinking about one question: who would steal Lin Xiao's money and set fire to it?
This is also extremely unethical!
Lin Xiao walked towards Aunt Wu calmly:
"Aunt Wu, can you tell me who said that Yu Yan was terminally ill and wanted Yu Yan to go back?"
Aunt Wu thought about it and said:
"It was a man with a hairy beard and a very familiar face. He said he was from Lijiacun and came here specifically to report the news."
As soon as Aunt Wu finished speaking, a little boy in the crowd suddenly burst into tears.
"Woooooo~~ I saw Brother Wang Le and a man with a hairy beard going to Brother Lin Xiao's house. The bearded man found me and told me not to tell anyone, or he would kill me~~ Wuwuwu~~"
What the little boy said while crying shocked everyone present. This matter was actually done by Wang Le in collaboration with outsiders!
Lin Xiaohu came out and confirmed to the little boy again: "Yangzi, are you sure it was Brother Wang Le who did it?"
"Yeah! It's Brother Wang Le and Lian Beard, they're the ones who did it!"
The little boy wiped away his tears and nose and vowed.
Lin Xiaohu was shaking with anger:
"Damn it, while my father and mother were away from home, he actually collaborated with outsiders to do this kind of thing to people in his own village! He is indeed an ignorant wolf!"
The village chief and Ma Guihua loaded all the salt from Lin Xiao's place onto the truck early yesterday morning and delivered it to the city.
As soon as they left the village, such a big thing happened in the village. Lin Xiaohu suddenly felt that he was useless and had no deterrent effect at all.
I couldn't help but hate Wang Le, a person with a foreign surname.
"Xiao Linzi, how about we organize a few strong men to go to the underground city and capture this bastard Wang Le?"
Mazi seemed lighthearted on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious inside.
That's all the money Lin Xiao exchanged for his life!
Lin Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Let's go, let's kidnap him, and kidnap that bastard back from the dungeon now!"
"Brother Xiao Wu, don't be impulsive!"
Lin Xiao grabbed Lin Xiaowu's arm: "That place is too dangerous, we can't go there!"
The underground city is a place of joy on earth. It has everything in it. It is Wang Le’s favorite place.
And often in places like this, there is a thug every three steps and a bodyguard every five steps.
Even if you gather all the strong men in Linjia Village, you may not be able to come back alive!
Besides, except for the few coins that were too heavy to keep at home, she carried all the rest of the money in her arms and carried it with her.
As for salt, yesterday the village chief and Ma Guihua took away a cart, and Li Yuyan sold it for fifty kilograms.
Other bits and pieces were also collected by the villagers who went out to sell salt.
Therefore, there are some losses, but not much.
Even if all her belongings are really gone, she, Lin Xiao, is not afraid. If she sells salt for a while, won't the money come back?
No wonder that in the historical dynasties she knew, buying and selling illegal salt was prohibited no matter which dynasty or dynasty.
There’s no other reason than that you can make money so quickly from selling salt!
"But you don't want your money anymore? You are penniless, how will you live in the future?"
Lin Xiaowu said anxiously.
"If you lose money, you can still make it again. I have the hands and feet. It's not difficult at all to make money. Don't worry!"
Lin Xiao confidently said.
"You, you, you, alas!"
The sufferer had already spoken, and he, the outsider, couldn't say anything more. He could only sigh heavily as he hated the iron.
"Xiao Linzi, don't worry, you can stay at Brother Xiao Wu's house first, and I will send you some food later!"
Mazi said.
"I still have some wild rabbit meat, I'll send it to you too!"
"And me, the dried wild vegetables I dried are so delicious when fried, I will give them to you too!"
"I have it too……"
Looking at the simple villagers, Lin Xiao realized why the ancients said, "Distant relatives are not as good as near neighbors."
"Xiaohu, this is Wang Le's mother-in-law, what should I do?"
Several indignant village women pushed a woman over.
She looked very miserable, her hair was messy, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen.
His clothes were messy and his feet were bare. From a distance, he looked exactly like a refugee.
She was trembling all over and was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, not knowing what to do.
"Why does she look like this? Did you hit her?"
Lin Xiaohu asked with a frown.
"We didn't. When we found her at Wang Le's house, she was already like this. She was probably beaten by Wang Le."
A village woman glanced at the woman unkindly and said lightly.
"Xiaohu, why did you bring her here?"
Although Lin Xiao hated Wang Le, she knew that the girl in front of her was innocent.
"It is the same principle to pay back debts, to pay debts to the father and to the son, and to pay debts to the husband and wife."
Lin Xiaohu said:
"Wang Le has stolen all your belongings, so let his mother-in-law pay it back. Whether you send it to the official or sell it, as long as you ask, I will definitely do it!"
When the woman heard that she was going to be sent to an official position or sold, she was immediately frightened and kowtowed to Lin Xiao:
"Brother, I beg you, please do a good job and spare me! You really don't know anything!"
If a penniless woman like her wants to pay off Wang Le's debt, she has no other choice but to sell herself to Wanhua Tower.
"Wang Le snatched away all the dowry I brought, and never returned home. Later, he came back, and that was when he blackmailed my eldest brother. He didn't get anything, so he beat me up and took away my only son.
My valuable shoes were also taken away. He suddenly came back last night, beat me up without saying a word, and then ran away again. I really don’t know..."
The woman cried with tears and runny nose. Ever since she married to Linjia Village, she could only make a living by digging wild vegetables every day. The only meat she had was the bit of snake meat that Lin Xiao got from killing the giant python that day.
What a poor man indeed!
Lin Xiao sighed and said to Lin Xiaohu:
"The way I see it, Wang Le burned down my house and stole all my belongings. How about the village taking the decision and handing over Wang Le's house to me, so that we can settle everything?"
Wang Le's house was built later and is more spacious and comfortable than Lin Xiao's house, and is more suitable for salt production.
She had been interested in his house for more than a day or two.
"This is a good idea. I make the decision, that's it!"
Lin Xiaohu agreed without thinking.
Other people in the village also clapped their hands and applauded.
After all, with a house, Lin Xiao's salt-making business can start running again.
During the Daxia Dynasty, the houses in the village did not have title deeds, and who owned the house was usually decided jointly by the village chief and the villagers.
The woman was afraid that Lin Xiao would go back on her word, so after kowtowing, she stood up and was about to run away, but Lin Xiao shouted:
"Where are you going?"
"I, I, I don't know either..."
If a woman is thrown out by her married daughter, how can her family take her in again?
She can't return to her natal family, and her husband's family is gone, so the woman is really homeless now!
Pick up last time.
He felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Immediately afterwards, he felt like he was being dragged down by something in everything he did.
It was obvious that something was about to succeed, but in his hands it was ruined.
Furthermore, it was clear that certain things were already a done deal, but once he took over, things immediately went haywire.
There are countless things like this. He was originally expected to be promoted and was fired from the company because he kept making mistakes...
