Chapter 74 The confusion of the people who eat melons
Lin Xiao stretched out her fingers to test Han Xi'er's breathing. She still had breath, but it was very weak. If she didn't get treatment in time, she might not be able to last long.
At this time, Mazi and Lin Xiaowu also ran in hurriedly.
Lin Xiaowu heard the commotion and immediately asked Aunt Wu to go to the village chief's house to call Ma Guihua.
Mazi had long wanted to come over and help break up the fight, but when he thought of what Lin Xiao said to him today, he became extremely confused.
He was afraid that going there would make Lin Da resent Han Xier even more and kill her.
But after hearing the miserable sounds coming from time to time, he couldn't control his anxiety and came in a hurry.
"Don't hug my mother-in-law! Put her down!"
When Lin Da saw Han Xi'er lying in Lin Xiao's arms, he jumped up and down in anger, and his whole face became extremely ferocious and terrifying!
Lin Xiao ignored him and directly picked up Han Xi'er from the ground.
I thought she wouldn't be able to carry her, but I didn't expect Han Xi'er to be so light, weighing only sixty or seventy pounds.
How can this still be the weight that an adult woman should have?!
Lin Xiao felt vaguely intolerable.
"I told you, don't touch my mother-in-law, put her down!"
Lin Xiao's attitude completely angered Lin Da.
He jumped up, picked up a broken bench on the ground, and rushed towards Lin Xiao who was carrying Han Xi'er out.
At the critical moment, Yu Xilin blocked behind Lin Xiao in time and caught the flying hit with his arm.
Although he was knocked back a few steps, he was not injured.
"This stinky woman has seduced a lot of men!"
Lin Dada cursed and raised the bench he clenched in his hands a little higher.
"You white-eyed wolf, how could you attack Xiao Linzi? Why don't you put down the bench for me quickly!"
The widowed aunt who was still cursing her son in the yard for not living up to expectations saw Lin Da being rough with Lin Xiao. Is this okay?
If Lin Xiaoyi was unhappy and asked for the one tael of silver given to her back, then she would really regret it until her intestines turned green!
So he quickly ran over and stopped Lin Da, and kept urging Lin Da to put down the bench.
"Mom! Is he your son or am I your son? My mother-in-law and I don't even know about him anymore. Why are you still talking to outsiders?"
Lin asked angrily and loudly.
As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding villagers became excited.
"What! Did I hear you correctly just now? Are Xiao Linzi and Lin Da's mother-in-law unclear?!"
"Isn't it? Xiao Linzi already has a wife and a concubine, how could he be confused with Lin Da's cheap wife?"
"Hey, Xiao Linzi is really good at it. He even dares to attack a married woman. I can't help but admire him!"
"To be honest, if I were Lin Da's wife, I would definitely choose to be with Xiao Linzi. Xiao Linzi never beats his wife and can still make money. How great!"
"Hey, you know, Lin Da's wife heard that Lin Da was kidnapped when he went to Hanjia Village to work as a day laborer."
"What? Isn't this too shameless?!"
"I think Mr. Lin is a real man, and he can actually kidnap his boss's eldest daughter back to be his mother-in-law!"
The crowd's chatter was particularly harsh in the silent night.
Lin Xiao sneered and carried Han Xi'er into the courtyard and handed her to Mazi, who looked distressed:
"If you still have breath, let Dr. Barefoot come over and save your life!"
"Um!"
Mazi gave Lin Da a hard look, picked up Han Xi'er and rushed to Doctor Barefoot's house.
Through the bright moonlight and candlelight, the villagers could see Han Xier's miserable condition clearly.
"My dear, Lin Da is going to beat him to death!"
"How could such a good girl be beaten like this?"
"I heard it was because Mrs. Lin Da'e couldn't lay eggs. That's why Lin Da..."
"The reason why she can't lay eggs is because she was gifted by her widowed aunt. If she hadn't made everything possible, their grandson would have followed her to dig wild vegetables!"
"Is it the kind that digs up the roots?"
"Hahaha...you have such a vicious mouth, but I like it!"
…
The villagers joked one after another.
In their eyes, it is natural for a woman to be beaten by her husband.
It's just that this time, Lin Da took the killing blow. If Han Xi'er was beaten to death, he would really have committed a crime.
Lin Da, who was already angry, was made furious by the villagers' teasing. He waved a wooden stick and wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
But Yu Xilin and Lin Xiaowu have always been guarding Lin Xiao, refusing to give Lin Da a chance to get close.
Lin Da had no choice but to retract his hand angrily.
"Xiao Linzi, my stupid son is ignorant. Don't be the same as him. I apologize to you on behalf of my son."
Seeing that Lin Xiao's face was getting darker and darker, the widowed aunt hurriedly came over to pull Lin Da, and kept winking at Ambassador Lin, asking him to admit his mistake to Lin Xiao and promise not to cause trouble to Lin Xiao again in the future.
Lin angrily threw away his aunt's hand and glared at Lin Xiao fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
"Lin Xiao, you are a beast! You are worse than a pig or a dog! Tell me, when did you hook up with that bastard?"
Faced with Lin Da's questioning, the surrounding villagers all fell silent. They all looked at Lin Xiao expectantly, fearing to miss any of Lin Xiao's expressions.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Lin Xiao's face remained calm.
She didn't know how Lin Da thought there was a relationship between her and Han Xi'er.
"You don't know what I'm talking about? Well, let me ask you, why do you ask my mother-in-law to go to the capital to settle accounts? You will pay ten coppers a day, including food and accommodation. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Lin Da's words made the surrounding villagers excited again.
"Oh my God! Ten coppers a day, isn't that more than three taels of silver a year?!"
"Why is Xiao Linzi so nice to Lin Da's mother-in-law all of a sudden? Could it be that there is something between the two of them as Lin Da said?"
"It's hard to say."
…
"Hmph! Did I tell you right that you had already hooked up with that bitch?"
Lin Da's eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao, as if waiting for his answer.
Lin Xiaowu and Yu Xilin also looked at Lin Xiao with strange eyes.
They believed in Lin Xiao's character, but it was really unexpected to pay Han Xier such a high salary.
Could it be that, as Lin Da thought, Lin Xiao and Han Xi'er had an affair?
Lin Xiao walked slowly to the center of the yard and asked everyone a question:
"Will you settle accounts?"
This question can be said to be heart-wrenching!
They don't know a word of Chinese characters, so they rely on counting coins one by one. If the number is too large, they can easily make mistakes.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shook their heads:
"Won't."
"How many people within a radius of dozens of miles can settle accounts?"
Everyone shook their heads again.
"She, Han Xi'er, knows how to settle accounts!"
Lin Xiao turned his head and looked at Lin Da with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
Lin Da was startled by Lin Xiao's sharp eyes, and subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
"Lin Da, if you can settle accounts, I will pay you ten coppers a day, can you do it?"
