Baihe Town is named after a Baihe River to the east of the town. The water of Baihe River is abundant all year round and can be used by surrounding villages to irrigate farmland. More than a dozen villages around Baihe Town all divert water from Baihe River to irrigate farmland. Linjia Village
It is one of them. It is located in the northeast of Baihe Town, about ten miles away from Baihe Town. Baihe River flows through the east side of the village. Most of the villagers build houses and live in the east side of the village. It is close to the water source and convenient for life.
There are more than a hundred families in Linjia Village, most of whom are named Lin. The Xiaozhuangzi where Lin Zhu lives also belongs to Linjia Village, but it is located in the far west of the village, on the outskirts of Linjia Village, and is the closest household.
They are two to three hundred meters away, so the villagers in Linjia Village are not familiar with the situation in Xiaozhuangzi, but everyone is familiar with Manager Lin who is responsible for external affairs such as purchasing. The village chief of Linjia Village knows a little about Xiaozhuangzi.
people.
Because he was about to leave soon, Manager Lin went to the village chief Lin Changqing to say goodbye to him, invited him to be a guest in the village in the evening, and told him that Lin Zhu would live here alone. As the village chief, Lin Changqing also understood that Manager Lin
They were people with some background, otherwise they would not have easily placed Lin Zhu's household registration in their village, making an eight-year-old girl the head of a household, and a lot of land for them.
, yard and other property. You must know that the villagers here generally only have seven or eight acres of land, and some have even less. Therefore, in the eyes of the village chief, Lin Zhu is a rich woman at a young age.
In the evening, village chief Lin Changqing came to Xiaozhuangzi. This was the first time he entered the village. Looking at the houses and buildings that were no different from ordinary farmhouses, he felt strange. This was different from Manager Lin's usual behavior of inviting guests to drink.
Such generous behavior is a bit out of character. Since he lives in this rural area, there are not many things to do and few entertainments, so he often goes out to have a drink and chat with Lin Changqing, the head of Linjia Village.
After all, Lin Changqing was the head of the village. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he did not show it to anyone. He chatted with Manager Lin, ate and drank, and said some insignificant polite words. After the meal, Manager Lin asked Lin Zhu
The introduction to Lin Changqing was nothing more than asking for more care. Of course, it was just polite words. After leaving, the tea was cool. As soon as Manager Lin left, how Village Chief Lin treated Lin Zhu would depend on the fate between Lin Zhu and Village Chief Lin.
How's it going?
After seeing off Village Chief Lin Changqing, Manager Lin went back to his room to rest, while Wang entered Lin Zhu's room again. Lin Zhu was about to practice using the space ring on the tea cup, but when he saw Wang coming in, he had to pretend to drink water.
Wang walked up to Lin Zhu, sat on the chair opposite her, and poured some water without ceremony. She didn't speak until she finished the water in the teacup, "Sister Zhu, she seems to be in good spirits and in good health."
"Okay," Wang said with a condescending tone that made Lin Zhu feel very uncomfortable, "Thanks to you and Manager Lin, things are indeed much better." Appropriate counterattacks are helpful for mental health. Lin Zhu doesn't want to always wrong himself and influence him.
They were destined to never meet again, and it didn't matter whether their impression was good or bad.
"That's good. I'm also worried that you won't be able to take care of yourself after we leave tomorrow. After all, it's not easy for us to raise you from childhood to such a big age. I'm very worried about you." Wang didn't hear the sarcasm in Lin Zhu's words.
, "Although there is monthly money from the government, you have been in poor health since you were a child. I often ask doctors for you and take medicine, so there is nothing left all year round. We also often supplement it. Now we have to go back, and there are not many travel expenses on the way.
"We have to walk for a long time on the road. Alas, I don't know if I can hold on until I get back home." Lin Zhu looked at Wang's excellent singing and composition performance. It seemed that the purpose of Wang's coming here was not to see if she was in good health, but to see if she was in good health.
I am crying for poverty. I looked at the Wang family in front of me. Although the hairpin on her head was made of silver, it was exquisitely made and heavy. The earrings on her ears were very small, but they were still rare in the countryside.
Needless to say, the pearls on the wrists, the silver bracelets weighing about three taels, were often exposed because Wang raised her hand to touch her bun, showing off her sleeves. Although the clothes on her body were simple, they were of good quality. Come to think of it, like this
The fabric also costs a lot of money to buy. On the other hand, the clothes on the original owner's body, although they are made of cotton, are rough in texture and have turned white after washing. There is not even a single piece of jewelry on the owner. On the surface, he is the owner, but he can't handle it.
It’s understandable that I didn’t have a single penny and lived a miserable life.
Lin Zhu stopped talking and just looked at Wang quietly, his eyes stopping on the bracelet on her wrist. Seeing that Lin Zhu had not spoken for a long time, Wang followed her gaze and saw that her favorite bracelet was exposed on her sleeve.
, coughed awkwardly, and quickly covered the bracelet with his sleeves. Having said everything he wanted to say, he finally gained some self-knowledge, got up and left.
Although Xiao Lin Xiuzhu has disappeared, Lin Zhu still feels sorry for her. She has suffered a lot of grievances at a young age. Although she is not ashamed of the actions of Manager Lin and Wang, what makes people even more angry is that she has never appeared.
Her biological parents not only failed to take good care of her, but also caused her to be bullied by the servants, and her life was worse than that of an ordinary child. Now they abandoned her, making her completely lose the idea of living. I really hope that in this world
The saying that there is retribution and dissatisfaction can be realized.
But thinking about her parents, she couldn't realize it, because she didn't know if she would meet again in this life. With Manager Lin and Wang in front of her, Lin Zhu hoped to get some retribution first. How could she do it? Lin Zhu thought hard.
She was puzzled, her body was too small and she couldn't do anything. Suddenly her eyes fell on the bamboo print on the finger of her left hand. The space of the ring could silently collect the items touched by her left hand, and it would not
After being discovered, "It seems that we can get back some things that have been withheld from the Wang family for many years, which will just solve the problem of having no money." Thinking of this, Lin Zhu felt a little relaxed, packed up, went to bed, and prepared for tomorrow.
Save up your energy.
The next day, Manager Lin and Mrs. Wang got up very early. When the hired carriage arrived at the gate of the yard, they successively carried the packed luggage and cages to the carriage and tied them tightly. Lin Zhu also got up early and waited at the door.
, watching them carrying things in and out, they didn’t even think about going to help. Not to mention their little arms and legs were weak, they probably wouldn’t trust Lin Zhu to help. Wang was very careful about her belongings, so they were valuable.
She received all the things in the boxes and put them in the car herself. After everything was packed and loaded into the car, Wang had time to talk to Lin Zhu who was standing beside her. She was about to leave for home. Wang's mood
Very good. He showed a rare kind smile when facing Lin Zhu: "Sister Zhu, we are leaving soon, you have to take good care of yourself." After all, they have been together for eight years, and Wang is not stingy with the last bit.
Kindly said, "If anything happens, please ask Village Chief Lin Changqing. For the sake of my man, I will help you." After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave. But Lin Zhu, who had been watching her since just now, saw her.
How could she let go of the heavy silver bracelet in her hand and the purse on her waist so easily? She pretended to be reluctant to let go, holding Wang's wrist with both hands, and "inadvertently" put her left hand on the bracelet, "
Please don't leave, okay?" Lin Zhu asked in a small voice, while thinking about "taking it in", she immediately felt that there was something extra in her space, but Wang was busy taking out her hand without noticing it.
Mrs. Wang, who finally took her hand away, was a little annoyed by Lin Zhu's entanglement. "Okay, Zhu Chan'er, haven't I made it clear to you a long time ago? Don't pester me anymore."
How could Lin Zhu, who had made plans long ago, allow Wang to throw her away so easily? He stepped forward and hugged Wang's waist, and then used the same trick to take away her purse. "I can't bear to let you go."
Wang, who was impatient, saw Lin Zhu's appearance, took her hand away, pushed her away, and got on the carriage without looking back. She no longer looked at Lin Zhu who was pushed to the ground by her, and clapped her hands in disgust.
It's like getting something stolen.
Manager Lin, who had already gotten in the car, saw what happened in front of him. He frowned and looked very unhappy. He urged Wang to get in the car quickly. He glanced at Lin Zhu and did not speak to her. In his eyes, Lin Zhu was just
There was no need to worry about such an insignificant existence. So, as soon as Wang got into the car, he immediately asked the driver to set off.
Seeing Manager Lin and Mrs. Wang walking away without looking back, Lin Zhu, who had fallen to the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and patted the dirt on his hands. He waited until their carriage was out of sight, then turned around and returned to the yard.
, and closed the courtyard door.
"Ha, I finally left. Acting is really not my strong point." Lin Zhu returned to the main house, looked at the east room where they once lived, and said to himself that everything in the east room has been moved.
There were only some large items such as tables, chairs, benches, and beds that could not be moved away, and nothing else was left. After just taking a look, Lin Zhu returned to the west room where he lived. He got up early in the morning and stood outside for a long time.
After a long time, Lin Zhu was already tired, so he sat at the table, drank some water, and took a short rest.
After a while, Lin Zhu raised his hand and touched the bamboo seal on his left hand. The "compensation" he had received from Wang earlier appeared on the table. Looking at the heavy silver bracelet, although he didn't know how much it was worth as jewelry,
It weighs about three taels, and can be exchanged for some money. Then I open the purse and pour out two silver ingots, some broken silver, and a lot of copper coins. Each silver ingot weighs about five taels, plus the broken silver.
There are only one tael in total, and there are more than two hundred copper coins. For Lin Zhu now, it is a lot of wealth.
"I don't know how the purchasing power is here. I have to find time to go out and take a look." Lin Zhu made up his mind to go out for a walk, but first he had to talk to the village chief Lin Changqing. After all, he would live under his rule in the future.
Yes, you have to establish a good relationship with him first.
