Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan were fully dressed and opened the door, smelling the aroma of rice.
Lan Lian got up early to cook.
Seeing the two people getting up, she greeted them warmly:
"Master Lin, Sister Yuyan, I have prepared the washing water. After you two wash up, come over and have breakfast!"
What a nimble woman!
After breakfast, Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan pushed the cart they borrowed from Lin Xiaowu to Jiuzhou Town.
I bought some daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil and grain, pulled out more than ten feet of cotton cloth, floral cloth and a pair of cloth shoes, picked up a big wooden bucket, and then hurried to Zhoujia Village.
It wasn't until the sun completely set that the two of them pushed the cart back home.
Lan Lian opened her eyes wide and looked at the truck full of goods, her jaw almost dropped in shock:
"Master Lin, this... all these things belong to our family?"
Lin Xiao nodded: "I borrowed some money from my friends. You can't live just because that beast destroyed all your belongings, right?"
These words were originally used by Lin Xiao to deal with Lan Lian, but to Lan Lian, they seemed to be hitting her every time.
Although she had already regarded Wang Le as an outsider in her heart, in fact, she was still Wang Le's mother-in-law. This was an indisputable fact.
Lan Lian lowered his head in frustration and stood aside helplessly, looking like a frosted eggplant.
When Lin Xiao saw Lan Lian's appearance, he immediately understood that she had misunderstood him, so he handed the floral cloth and cloth shoes to Lan Lian:
"Here, these are for you."
Lan Lian looked at the floral cloth and cloth shoes in Lin Xiao's hands in disbelief, with red eyes: "For me?"
Lin Xiao nodded and stuffed the floral cloth and cloth shoes into her hands. Her hands seemed to have touched red-hot charcoal and she quickly retracted them, shaking her head like a rattle:
"No, these are too expensive, I can't have them... I can't have them..."
What Lan Lian said was not polite.
How can farmers like them, who face the loess and back to the sky, be willing to wear shoes made of cotton?
Not to mention the colorful floral fabrics!
Even if they do, only the daughter of the village chief's family is qualified to wear cotton shoes and floral clothes.
Growing up, the only decent clothes she wore were the bridal clothes given by the government on the day of her wedding.
Lin Xiao forced something into Lan Lian's hand and said domineeringly:
"Take it! Since you have followed us, we are one family. One family does not speak two languages. These rights should be regarded as a meeting gift from me to you."
Lan Lian was completely moved by Lin Xiao's move.
She nodded with tears in her eyes, carefully placed the cloth and shoes on the table, and worked hard to help unload the goods from the pallet truck.
Knowing that neither Lin Xiao nor Li Yuyan had eaten dinner yet, she hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan set up the wooden barrel device for purifying salt water with ease.
"Yu Yan, when you go to return the cart later, tell Brother Xiao Wu that we will continue to make salt from tomorrow on!"
…
In the underground city, brothels and gambling houses are all available.
All the lustful people and gamblers gathered here to drink and have fun, and everyone was so drunk that they couldn't get enough of it.
At the entrance of the gambling house, a burly man held up Wang Le and threw him out with all his strength, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
Before Wang Le could get up, even the hairy beard that came with him was thrown out.
"Bah! What a contemptible thing! Do you know who my eldest brother is? My eldest brother is the head of Yingzui Mountain!"
The bearded man spat fiercely at the door of the gambling house, and then said to Wang Le:
"Let's go find Xiaohong!"
"Brother Beard, all the money is spent..."
Wang Le said with a bitter face.
"Don't you still have half a pound of money?"
"Everything is lost..."
"Useless things!"
Lian Maobeard kicked Wang Le: "Get out of here! I'm going back to Yingzui Mountain to find my eldest brother!"
"Brother Beard, don't leave in a hurry."
Wang Le grabbed the bearded arm and said treacherously:
"We have no money, but the man named Lin Xiao in my village has money."
"You mean that little chicken?"
Wang Le nodded: "He still has at least dozens of taels of silver on him!"
Hearing this, Lian Mao Beard showed a fierce look on his face...
Since Lin Xiao's small salt-making workshop started to operate normally again, all the villagers in Linjia Village were as energetic as if they had been given chicken blood.
Lin Xiaowu and Mazi were both worried about Lin Xiao at first. Their money had been stolen by Wang Le, the man who had suffered a thousand blows, so there was no money left to buy the salt water from the villagers.
Unexpectedly, early on the third day, the village chief and Ma Guihua returned from Jiuzhou City.
Not only was a cart full of salt sold, but the payment for the salt was also paid to Lin Xiao.
This really made Lin Xiaowu and Mazi secretly relieved for Lin Xiao.
When the village chief learned that Wang Le not only teamed up with outsiders to steal all of Lin Xiao's belongings, but also set fire to Lin Xiao's home, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
He directly said that if anyone caught Wang Le in the future, he would give half the reward in his own name!
This shows his deep hatred for people like Wang Le!
Li Yuyan has not been idle these days. He knows that if Wang Le does not steal the money, he will definitely have a back-up plan, so he will place some small traps in the yard every night.
First, just in case.
Secondly, in order to consume his physical energy faster, he can no longer be obsessed with Lin Xiao's sleeping face and commit nymphomaniacs!
midnight.
Front mountain.
Wang Le walked through the dense bamboo forest with a hairy beard and sneaked into the village quietly under the bright moonlight.
In the countryside of the Daxia Dynasty where people could no longer feed themselves, there were almost no watchdogs.
Without dogs, it means that no one knows that outsiders have entered the village.
This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Leneng had the courage to enter the village overnight with a hairy beard.
In their hands, they were holding woodchopping knives brought from another village. The blades were sharpened to an extremely sharp angle, and shone coldly in the moonlight.
"Later, you go control Little Chicken and ask him for money. If he dares to resist, you will kill him with one knife. Do you understand?"
Lian Maohuo whispered.
"Brother Beard, what about you?"
"Didn't you say that Chicken Little's wife is not very fierce? I have to control her first?!"
Lian Mao Beard's wishful thinking was very loud. He had already decided that if Lin Xiao's mother-in-law was not bad, he would get rid of her first, and then kill her and silence her, all at once!
The two of them went down the mountain and went straight to Wang Le's house.
They had already found out before they came that after Lin Xiao's house was burned down by them, homeless Lin Xiao openly moved into Wang Le's house.
People in the village are basically familiar with each other, so people usually don't lock the yard when they go to bed at night. At most, they just lock the back room.
Wang Le tiptoed open the courtyard door, only to see that the originally empty courtyard was filled with miscellaneous things.
Stone mill, shovel, rocking chair, basket...
Hehe, I have a question, who wants to be my first fan?
