Mrs. Xinghua snorted coldly, threw her arms away, and said, "What? Admit it?"
"Sister-in-law, it was so dark last night, but I actually didn't see anything..." Lin Shan explained bravely.
"Whether you see it or not, just admit it. Let me ask you, do you want this matter to be public or private?" Xinghua asked a little aggressively.
Lin Shan said with a sad face, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bother the old village chief with this trivial matter, right?"
"It's okay if you want to keep it private. As long as you give me two thousand yuan for mental damage, I will pretend that this incident never happened! I won't tell anyone else about it!" When Xinghua said this, her expression was a little unnatural.
"Two thousand yuan? Sister-in-law, this is not a big deal, right?" Lin Shan smiled bitterly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
Sister-in-law Xinghua is not like this on weekdays, and her husband works outside and earns a lot of money every month, so there is no shortage of money at all.
But why is this happening today?
Are the rumors true?
Thinking of this, Lin Shan couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, has Brother De Biao not sent money to the family for several months?"
Xinghua's expression immediately changed and she said anxiously: "Who said that? My Debiao sends me money every month. Don't listen to other people's nonsense!"
"Then why did you seize on such a trivial matter to blackmail me? In my impression, you are not a money-minded person." Lin Shan said, staring at Xinghua.
Xinghua became a little angry: "You peeked at me taking a shower, so you should compensate me for my mental losses. Should you pay me or not? Or we should go to the old village chief to seek justice."
"Sister-in-law, don't always scare me with the old village chief!" Lin Shan smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Xinghua's expression was anxious and her eyes were a little red, he suddenly couldn't bear it. He quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, can't I give it to you? But I don't have that much money on hand, so I have to go to the town to get it."
Seeing that Lin Shan agreed, Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It just so happens that I have to go to the county town to do some business, so I'll come with you. Just give it to me directly after you withdraw the money."
"It seems that Sister Xinghua is in trouble." Lin Shan thought to himself, then nodded and said, "Okay, just wait for me, I'll change my clothes, and then we'll leave."
Lin Shan went into the house and changed his clothes, took out his bank card, thought about it and put the diamond in his pocket, and then left the village with Xinghua.
Xiaowa Village is surrounded by mountains and traffic is blocked. Until now, there is no road access. There is only a small winding path in the mountains leading to the outside world.
So to enter the city, you can only hike over the mountain in front of you.
The two set out in the morning and walked until almost noon before arriving in the town.
Standing in front of the bank, Xinghua said to Lin Shan, "Go and withdraw the money. I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, I'll be out right away." Lin Shan promised and walked to the ATM.
After entering the password, the balance was displayed on the screen. It was only two thousand and a few dozen. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. This was his entire family property. If he gave it to Xinghua, he would be really destitute.
But when he turned around and saw Xinghua's anxious expression under the scorching sun, he felt a little distressed.
This woman must be in trouble, otherwise she wouldn't use such extreme measures.
In Lin Shan's eyes, Mrs. Xinghua has always been a good woman.
She looks after her husband and raises her children, is filial to her parents-in-law, is kind-hearted, gets along well with neighbors, and never gets jealous with anyone.
Even people like Lin Shan who didn't want to see anyone would never look at him coldly.
This is also the reason why Lin Shan is willing to be blackmailed by Sister Xinghua, so he just wants to help her.
Thinking of this, he decisively took out the money. Looking at the remaining dozens of dollars, Lin Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Maybe this is the reason why I have always been a bachelor.
Thinking that I have lived for nearly thirty years and only have this little savings, I really have lived like a dog.
Having nothing and accomplishing nothing, I just idle around all day without seeking to make progress.
How can any girl like such a person?
But if that diamond is real, everything will change completely!
Touching the diamond in his coat pocket, Lin Shan felt better again.
After walking out of the bank, Lin Shan handed two thousand yuan into Xinghua's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, if you encounter trouble, just let me know. Although I, Lin Shan, have no ability, I can still help!"
"Thank you!" Xinghua glanced at Lin Shan with a complicated expression and hurriedly walked towards the bus station.
Lin Shan followed suit, because he was also going to the county town and planned to find a place to sell the diamond for money.
"Why are you following me?" Xinghua frowned when she saw Lin Shan following her.
Lin Shan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I also want to go to the county seat, not follow you."
"What are you doing in the county town?" Xinghua asked doubtfully.
Lin Shan didn't want to talk about the diamond, so he made up a vague excuse.
Xinghua naturally didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "Lin Shan, I'm warning you, although I won't hold you accountable for peeking at my shower, but you don't have any unreasonable thoughts about me! Otherwise, I will tell the boss
village head!"
"Sister-in-law, who do you think I am, Lin Shan? I admit that I have a lot of minor problems, but I still have my own bottom line when it comes to right and wrong!" Lin Shan said righteously.
Xinghua pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Then don't follow me!"
"I didn't expect you to look at me like this! Okay, I won't follow you, are you relieved now?" Lin Shan said with some chilling voice.
Xinghua bit her lip, as if she wanted to explain, but in the end she didn't say anything and left quickly.
Watching the Xinghua go away, Lin Shan angrily walked towards the station.
Today's incident really made him panic!
When he arrived at the bus station, he was surprised to see Mrs. Xinghua running around in the square in front of the station like crazy, grabbing people and asking questions from time to time.
Lin Shan wanted to go over and see what was going on, but thinking of Xinghua's vigilance towards him, he gave up the idea and was not asking for trouble.
After going to the ticket office and buying a ticket, Lin Shan found a bus bound for the county seat and got on it.
At this time, I heard the passengers in the car talking about something.
"It is said that wealth should not be revealed. How can you take out all the money in a place like the station? It's good that it was all stolen by thieves."
"No, this place is full of thieves. As a grown man, I don't dare to carry so much cash with me when I go out..."
"That woman is pitiful! Looking at her anxious look, this money must be of great use, but it was stolen... Oh, what a world..."
After listening for a while, Lin Shan understood what was going on, and hurriedly asked an uncle next to him: "Uncle, did you just say that a woman lost money?"
"Yes, you are still out there looking for it. How can you find this? He has disappeared long ago!" The uncle pointed at Xinghua who was running around outside the car window and said.
Before the uncle could finish speaking, Lin Shan rushed out of the car, caught up with the panicked Xinghua, and said, "Sister-in-law, calm down! You can't find it if you look for it like this!"
"The money is gone...what should I do..." Xinghua was anxious and helpless, and finally couldn't help crying.
Lin Shan held Xinghua's arm and comforted him: "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious..."
"Don't I go in a hurry? This is life-saving money..." Xinghua suddenly cried excitedly.
