Chapter 75 Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda
"I"
Lin Da was speechless. He didn't know how to settle accounts, and no one had ever taught him how to settle accounts.
"You don't know how to settle accounts, and you refuse to let your mother-in-law do this job, and you even go so far as to ruin the reputations of your mother-in-law and me. What on earth do you want to do?"
Lin Xiao sneered and smiled sarcastically.
When the villagers heard this, they all showed contempt in their eyes.
This Lin Da is a bit ungrateful!
If they had a woman like Han Xier who knew how to settle accounts, they would have recommended themselves long ago!
More than three taels of silver a year, that's a pretty high salary!
"I don't care, you two must be having an affair!"
Lin Da was ridiculed by Lin Xiao and saw that no one was helping him. He became angry and picked up the bench in his hand and threw it at Lin Xiao again.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Yu Xilin stood in front of Lin Xiao again and resisted the attack from the bench.
It hit the same spot twice, and a heartbreaking pain came from it.
Yu Xilin snorted, but still gritted his teeth and refused to make any sound.
"court death!"
Lin Da became even more angry when he saw this. He once again waved the bench in his hand and waved at Lin Xiao again.
"stop!"
The village chief who came after hearing the news saw this situation and shouted quickly.
When Lin Da heard this, he immediately stopped moving. He glared at Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao fiercely, and then turned to look at the village chief.
Behind the village chief were Ma Guihua and Aunt Wu.
When the village chief saw Yu Xilin's arm that was hit, his face changed slightly, and his eyes were full of distress:
"Master Yu, what's going on? Your arm"
"Village Chief, I'm fine."
Yu Xilin endured the pain and shook his head. Although he acted as if nothing had happened, it could still be seen from his trembling shoulders that he was in great pain at this moment.
"You ignorant bastard! Do you know who you are beating?!"
The village chief angrily kicked Lin Da with his foot.
"How dare you kick me?!"
Lin Da was shocked when he was kicked by the village chief.
He did not expect that the village chief would dare to deal such a heavy blow to him, so he immediately roared angrily and threw the bench in his hand into the courtyard as if to vent his anger.
When the village chief saw this, he was also angry:
"Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf when you leave me here? Repay me? Let me tell you, even if you kiss me and come back to life, he will still have to call me uncle! You are not a big or small thing, let's see how I teach you a lesson
you!"
The village chief scolded angrily and waved to the villagers watching the excitement outside:
"Come here, knock him down! Beat this bastard to death!"
Hearing the village chief's words, Lin Da turned pale with fright. He quickly gave in and begged for mercy:
"Third Grandpa, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, I was wrong!"
"It's too late, I have to take care of you today!"
When the village chief saw that Lin Da had realized his mistake, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and he sneered and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin also walked out together. Behind them came Lin Da's miserable pleading and the widow's aunt's crying and cursing.
As for who was scolding, Lin Xiao knew that it would definitely not be her.
Walking outside the courtyard, the village chief bowed to Yu Xilin seriously:
"Young Master Yu, I'm sorry. I failed to manage this bastard boy well and you have been wronged. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of all the villagers!"
"No way, village chief, you are too polite. I don't blame you for this matter!"
Yu Xilin quickly helped the village chief.
"Hey, this little bastard is as cowardly and stubborn as his damn daddy!"
After saying that, the village chief looked at Lin Xiao and said seriously:
"Xiao Linzi, Miss Han is a good girl, we have to save her life!"
The village chief's words were very clear. Saving Han Xier's life was clearly to help her separate from Lin Dahe.
Although women in the Daxia Dynasty could reconcile with their husband's family after getting married, they had to meet two points:
First, the woman who proposes divorce must compensate her husband's family for one pound of flesh and one pound of copper according to the woman's weight.
Although one pound of copper coins is not much, only about fifty or sixty copper coins, but according to the woman's weight of seventy pounds, if she wants to divorce, she must first compensate her husband's family for 4,200 copper coins, which is four
More than two pieces of silver!
For ordinary people who can't see half a coin all year round, more than four taels of silver is an astronomical figure!
Second, the woman who proposed the divorce must find a new wife within three days of the divorce, otherwise the divorce will not be possible.
Money is nothing to Lin Xiao now, but this second point is difficult.
"Village Chief, I really want to help her divorce Lin Da, and I can bear the compensation issue myself, but where can I find a home for her? It has to be within three days. Isn't this difficult for me!"
Based on the principle that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, Lin Xiao felt that he should help this poor girl.
In fact, she has already tried to help, such as using high wages to hire Han Xier to work in the capital.
But what he didn't expect was that Han Xi'er was almost beaten to death by Lin Da.
"It's easy to find a new wife. You can marry her as your concubine, just like Lan Lian. Wouldn't that be great!"
The village chief's light words struck Lin Xiao's ears like thunder.
Taking Han Xi'er as my concubine?
Absolutely not!
She was already forced to have a wife and a concubine. Perhaps when Han Ruoshui woke up from the drowning, she would have to marry her again, lest she seek death and survive again and harm herself!
At this time, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of Mazi, who had always been in love with Han Xier, and seemed to have an idea in her mind.
"Village Chief, I have a very good candidate in my mind. I'll go ask him first. If he agrees, we will make peace with Han Xi'er!"
"Okay! As long as you can solve this matter, I, an old guy, have no objections!"
The village chief patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder with a pleased expression.
After that, the village chief pulled Yu Xilin and said a few words of apology before leaving tremblingly.
Looking at the village chief's hunched back, Yu Xilin's face showed a trace of reluctance.
"Next time, we can't stay drunk with him again. Drinking is harmful to your health!"
It's no wonder that since last night's dinner, the village chief specially opened the bottle of wine he had collected in order to welcome Yu Xilin's arrival.
He was so drunk that he slept until Aunt Wu went to look for the sweet-scented osmanthus, and then he woke up leisurely.
The whole person's energy and energy seemed a little sluggish.
The Barefoot Doctor lives at the junction of Linjia Village and Zhoujia Village. It can't be said to be far away, but it can't be said to be close either.
Mazi hugged Han Xi'er who had been beaten into a pig's head and ran away.
He looked at the dying sweetheart in his arms, and his heart felt like a knife.
He has never hated someone so much, and this hatred even surpassed his fear of death!
