After Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er fell asleep, Chang's mother first sorted out the wolfberry fruits that were dried in the yard. She knew very well how to use wolfberry fruits. Concubine Lan in the palace often ate them, so she always maintained her proud and young appearance.
Her figure and fair, elastic skin were also the envy of many concubines.
Lin Zhu has been very tired from working in the melon fields recently. He has to go to the fields every day to check the growth of watermelons. He often stays in the fields for half a day in the sun. Although Lin Zhu doesn't show it, Chang's mother can also feel that she is interested in this area.
The attention of the melon field. Now there is a melon thief. Chang’s mother really hates this person, and she also looks down on the people of Linjia Village. Several little girls in the village used to be in front of her.
She felt that although this village was poor, the people were still nice. Ever since they had been coveting Lin Zhu's idea of growing watermelons, and then opening the ancestral hall, although the result was what Lin Zhu wanted, she still felt that Lin Zhu was too soft-hearted.
, of course she also knew that this was the result of Lin Zhu's helplessness. But she just felt uncomfortable, being bullied to the point of being bullied, and she kept trying to avoid her. Chang's mother felt very sorry for Lin Zhu. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang, she wouldn't know it now.
What a scene.
So she decided to talk to Lin Zhu carefully later, and she must not let the melon thief go easily. "We must not let him go." Chang's mother said to herself bitterly.
"Who is Mother Chang talking about not letting go?" Li Guihua picked today's wolfberry and sent it to Lin Zhu. When she heard Mother Chang talking alone, she asked curiously. When Mother Chang saw it was her, she answered
Passing her back, the two of them worked together to pour the wolfberries into the empty basket, and then carried them to the side room to dry them in the shade. Chang's mother also took the opportunity to tell her what happened this morning. "Who is so wicked? He would do such a thing.
?If caught, you will be taught a lesson." Li Guihua was filled with indignation. Since her husband's death, she had been bullied a lot and suffered a lot. Now she is willing to do anything for her son, and her temperament has gradually become stronger. "People.
Goodness is bullied. Miss Xiaozhu is so kind that she indulges these thieves. There are many people in the village who have this idea. As long as the thief is caught, he must be treated well. Kill the chicken to show the monkey."
Chang's mother was very happy when she saw that she and she had gone to the same place. The two of them cursed the melon thief again. Li Guihua saw that it was getting late and she had to go back to cook for her son, so Chang's mother also got her a
Watermelon said it was from Lin Zhu and asked her to take it back and eat it with her son.
Li Guihua was very excited to get such a precious watermelon. She could have worked in Linzhu and brought some vegetables home every day. She was already grateful to her. She didn’t know how to thank her. Now she has given such a precious watermelon to her.
It was given to her for free. She really didn't know what to say. "Mother Chang, look at this, this" Li Guihua stuttered, "It's okay, just take it. The girl is kind-hearted and saw how hard you worked. I specially left it here."
It's for you. I'll also give one to the village chief's family and the Wang family. You can take it home and eat it. Just don't throw away the watermelon seeds." After Chang's mother sent away Li Guihua, who was so grateful, she went back to the house to call Lin.
Bamboo got up. He had slept long enough and it was time to have lunch.
"Girl, you've lost a lot of weight these days because of watermelon. Later, Mother Chang will make you some chicken soup to replenish your body, skimming off all the oil. It's not greasy at all. Come and drink it." Lin Zhu knew this was the reason.
Chang's mother saw that she was a little depressed, so she made it specially, and was very touched. Chang's mother was not good at other cooking skills, but she was good at making soup. Soup-making happened to be Lin Zhu's weakness, so Chang's mother would make some soup for her from time to time.
Not to mention, Zi Cong often drinks soup, and her complexion has improved a lot. Although Lin Zhu has always been liberal in eating in order to support her body, which has been abused since childhood, the effect is not as good as drinking soup. I don’t know Chang’s mother
After adding something to the soup, Lin Zhu felt that not only was her skin getting better and better, smooth and supple, but her hair was also a lot darker, and she had some fat on her body, but she was not bloated. In addition, she worked frequently, and her body became more and more healthy.
It's getting stronger. "Thank you, Mom Chang, for drinking with me."
After dinner, Lin Zhu went to the yard to turn over the dried wolfberry berries, and suddenly thought that wolfberry berries can be eaten and used to make wine. For men, wolfberry wine can resist aging, nourish the kidneys, promote sperm, and strengthen the body; for women,
It can make the skin soft, delay aging, moisturize the skin, and beautify the skin; it can prolong life for the elderly. Although Chang’s mother often makes water with wolfberry to drink, it is not as effective as wolfberry wine.
If you want to get wolfberry wine quickly, soaking is the best method. Now Lin Zhu has no wine at home. I will wait for a chance to ask Dr. Zhang. He should have good wine. After making the wolfberry wine, I can share half of the conditions with him.
Want some.
Before Lin Zhu told Chang's mother this idea, there was a sudden noise outside the door, mixed with crying and cursing from time to time. Lin Zhu frowned, and she asked Chang's mother to look at Fu Dou'er while she went
Check out the gate to see what happened.
"You are just a stinky girl." As soon as Lin Zhu opened the door and walked out, there was a woman in her thirties, pointing at her and scolding her, "It's all the good dog you raised, one who can kill a thousand people, bite him
Our boss is in such a miserable state, if you make compensation and don’t cure our boss, I’m not done with you.” After saying that, he sat on the ground and started acting up, crying non-stop, “Let’s judge everyone, they are all vicious dogs in her family.
, the bite of our master's skin and flesh was torn, and his legs were bitten off. The doctor in the town said that he will never get better in the future. It's all the fault of this stinky girl. Let everyone comment." He said with a broken voice.
, coupled with the tears and runny nose on his crying face, the messy hair, and the dusty clothes, Lin Zhu was very impatient when he saw it, and said loudly with a straight face: "Where are you beggars? Don't stay in front of my house."
Damn it, get out!" After saying that, he turned around and closed the door.
The woman jumped up from the ground and went straight to grab Lin Zhu's arm. Lin Zhu was accidentally pulled to the ground by her, and his palms were hurt by the pebbles on the ground, and he was even more angry.
He stood up from the ground and looked at the woman coldly, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? You still have the nerve to ask me who I am. I tell you, your dog bit my boss. You have to pay us fifty taels of silver and beat the dog to death. Otherwise," the woman was stopped before she could finish her words.
Lin Zhu interrupted, "What else? You said my dog bit someone, who did it bite? Call it out and see, how did it bite? Why did it bite? Where was the person?"
The woman didn't expect that Lin Zhu would dare to ask herself such a question at such a young age. She was a little startled for a moment. "You said that your boss was bitten by my dog. Who is your boss? Where was he bitten by a dog? My house is so far away from the village.
"Yuan, why did it bite your boss? Tell me clearly?" Lin Zhu asked the last sentence in a sharp voice, which frightened the woman and took a step back. After taking a step back, she realized that doing so would make people feel guilty, and
He quickly took a step forward.
There were many people who came with the woman, and they were all women from Linjia Village. They all sympathized with the woman at first. They had been listening to her for a long time about how badly the men in her family had been bitten by dogs, so everyone sympathized with her in their hearts.
They all stood on her side and spoke for her, asking Lin Zhu to hand over the dog and beat him to death.
Lin Zhu looked at them coldly and ignored a word of their words. He just stared at the woman.
"What do you mean?" The woman pushed Lin Zhu, who staggered and almost fell to the ground. "Tell me, pay the money quickly and hand over the dog. Otherwise, the government will arrest you." The woman looked stern but felt guilty.
said.
"Apply to the official? Okay!" Lin Zhu stood up straight and sneered. "It just so happens that I also want to report to the official, let's go together." When the woman saw that Lin Zhu's expression did not look like he was threatening, she suddenly felt guilty.
Those who are still clamoring, "Just go, she is justified in allowing dogs to hurt people, she can't be justified anywhere, let's go." Others don't know what's going on, doesn't she herself know? Why she was bitten by a dog is absolutely unexplainable.
Seeing that the woman felt guilty, Lin Zhu took a step forward and looked at her with disdain, "What? Don't you dare?" The woman was so irritated by Lin Zhu's gaze that she raised her hand and was about to hit Lin Zhu in the face.
"Stop." The voice of village chief Lin Changqing came from outside the crowd. Those who were surrounding saw the village chief coming and immediately moved out of the way.
Lin Changqing looked at the crowd of people waiting with a livid face. There were also many people behind him. When those people saw that his wife and mother-in-law were inside, they became furious and pulled them over one after another.
"Zi An's family, who asked you to act bad here? Where is Lin Zian? Where is he?" Lin Zian's family was still very afraid of the village chief. When he heard his question, he replied in a low voice, "Our leader is not at home.
.”
"Not at home? Okay." Lin Changqing walked up to her. Behind him, Aunt Li also walked over, bypassed them, hugged Lin Zhu in her arms, and patted her back soothingly.
"Auntie." Lin Zhu called softly. "Okay, it's okay. Auntie is here. Don't be afraid. With auntie here, and with you, Uncle Lin, no one can bully you." Auntie Li said fiercely.
He glared at Lin Zian's mother-in-law.
"Then tell me why you are here today? Why was Lin Zian bitten by her dog? Where was it bitten?" Lin Changqing did not look at Lin Zhu, fearing that he would become even more furious when he saw her aggrieved look.
"What else could be the reason? It's all her fault. That dog is crazy and bites people." The woman said arrogantly, "Our boss came back late yesterday, and it was dark and he couldn't see the road. He might have been a little closer to her house.
If a dog bites her, who can she ask for explanation? If her dog bites her, shouldn't she have to pay for it? The dog can't be beaten to death. What if it bites someone else again?"
Although the people from Linjia Village who have been dealing with Lin Zhu all this time are not very well-educated, they can still communicate with each other pleasantly. I didn't expect to meet such a top-notch woman who can confuse right and wrong and talk lies. At first, in the ancestral hall, she had the most opinions, and finally
The one who was messing around was Lin Zian, and now seeing her acting like a rogue, it was like a nest of snakes and rats.
"Really?" Lin Changqing stared into her eyes. Under his direct gaze, Lin Zian's mother-in-law became more and more guilty, trembling a little, and shrank back. "I ask you again, where is Lin Zian?
"
"Wow," the woman suddenly sat down on the ground, "God, open your eyes. Even the village chief is helping an outsider to bully me. Help, I can't live anymore. Is there anyone who can comment? Please let me know.
The man died unjustly."
"Okay, okay, you." Lin Changqing pointed at the woman and said angrily, "Aren't you unjust? Then let's go to the Yamen to review the case and let the county magistrate make the decision for you. Don't you also want to report to the official? Go, go now."
The woman was frightened by Lin Changqing's words and immediately stopped howling. She was so dumbfounded that she didn't know how to react.
"Come on, let me go." Lin Zian came over from behind the crowd, limped up to the woman, and slapped her, "Who asked you to come here? I am in town.
The injury you sustained has nothing to do with me. Why are you so crazy here? Come back quickly." After that, he turned to Lin Changqing and said, "Village Chief, I'm so sorry. It's all a misunderstanding. This woman was hurt when she saw me.
, I don’t have a clear mind, I’m sorry, I’ll take her back to teach her a lesson first, and then I’ll make amends to Miss Lin Zhu.”
"Were you injured in the town? She is not clear-headed? Isn't that right? What she said just now was very clear that you were bitten by Miss Xiaozhu's dog." Lin Changqing said to him with a sneer, usually relying on his strength.
It was because of Lin Feng, the elder of the clan, that he was showing off his power in the village. Seven of them were dissatisfied and eight were dissatisfied. They did not take him as the village chief seriously. Although Lin Changqing knew that Lin Feng was supporting him, he did not catch him.
He couldn't touch his mistakes. In the ancestral hall that day, Lin Zian was also trying to trip him up because of Lin Feng. Now he finally had a handle and he could let him go.
, and he also has to teach Lin Feng behind him a lesson. He always wants his son to replace his position as village chief. Now his nephew has made a mistake. I don't think there is any shame in being embarrassed in front of me.
Lin Changqing ignored Lin Zian and said to the crowd of onlookers, "This morning, in the watermelon field of Miss Xiaozhu's house, trampled melon vines were found, as well as picked and stolen watermelons and sacks, as well as
Two blood stains and rags from dog bites. I have been looking for this melon thief today, and it just so happened that Lin Zian’s family said that Lin Zian was bitten by Miss Xiaozhu’s dog, so let’s see if it’s true?”
"No, no, village chief, you can't accuse someone unjustly. I've never been to her watermelon patch. Never." Lin Zian looked like a rogue, waving his hands and shaking his head.
"You said you didn't go. Well, someone put a piece of meat pie in the melon shed yesterday. Let me ask you, what did your family eat last night?"
"His family only had meat pie last night, and his son was showing off to others this morning." Someone in the crowd spoke, blocking Lin Zian's denial.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, Xiaozhu, call Heidouer over and admit it." Lin Changqing ignored his sophistry. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you
