Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Brother's workshop, that is the economic lifeline of the whole village. If it is destroyed by this trumped-up crime, the whole village will have to go back to the poor life of eating chaff and swallowing vegetables in the future!
The village chief looked at the backs of the policemen leaving, with complicated eyes shining in his eyes.

When other people in the village heard that the salt made by Lin Xiao had killed people, they all went to Lin Xiao's house to ask for an explanation.

As soon as the government officials left, the villagers rushed over and surrounded Lin Xiao's family.

"Little Aunt Lin, the salt you made in your house poisoned someone to death, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"Yes, Aunt Lin, if you don't explain to us, we won't do this matter!"

"Yes! Let's quit!"

The villagers threw all the refined salt they brought on Lan Lian and Han Ruoshui indiscriminately.

Because Lan Lian was whipped by the government just now, her body was covered with wounds and salt was sprinkled all over her body, she gritted her teeth in pain but didn't cry out.

She did this not to win the sympathy of the villagers, but to hope that they would stop pointing fingers at Lin Xiao after venting.

She firmly believes that the salt produced by her master is not poisonous!

"What do you need to explain?"

Lan Lian resisted the pain, looked at the crowd, and asked coldly.

"Tell us if the salt made by Xiao Linzi is poisonous!"

"Yes, tell us, is it poisonous!"

"Let me just say, how could a poor scholar know how to make salt? Let's see, it's poisonous to death!"

"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, he is too pretentious, he deserves to end up like this today!"

"Isn't it? It's all nonsense to talk about getting us out of poverty and getting rich all day long!"

……

Everyone insulted Lin Xiao in one go, full of contempt and disdain for Lin Xiao.

Lan Lian was very angry when she heard the ugly words from their mouths.

These white-eyed wolves!
Why didn't they think about it, if Lin Xiao hadn't helped them get out of trouble at the beginning, they would still be gnawing bark to survive!
"enough!"

Lin Xiaowu and Mazi couldn't stand listening anymore, they stood up and shouted.

"You all have ruddy complexions and round stomachs. You don't have to worry about the next meal after eating one meal, and you don't even think about who is responsible for it!"

Mazi cursed with a righteous look.

"Brother Mazi, what you said is wrong. We are able to achieve what we are today with our own hands, not with Xiao Linzi!"

"That is to say, we have worked so hard to get what we are today!"

……

"You fucking shit!"

Lin Xiaowu couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed angrily:
"It wasn't Xiao Linzi who taught you how to make coarse salt. How can you pigs figure out how to make it?"

"It's not that Xiao Linzi asked Mazi to recycle the coarse salt you made, who wants the coarse salt you made?"

"It's good now, the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and everyone is slandering Xiao Linzi one by one, won't your conscience hurt?!"

Faced with Lin Xiaowu's questioning, the villagers fell silent.

This is indeed true. If Lin Xiao hadn't been there, they would still have lived a miserable life without a meal.

The reason why they asked Lin Xiao for an explanation was nothing more than fear.

I was afraid that the salt made by Lin Xiao would really poison thirteen people to death.

Afraid that they will never be able to make extra money in the future because of this incident.

Afraid to go back to the embarrassing days of not having enough to eat!
"I believe that the salt made by Xiaolinzi is not poisonous!"

Mazi shouted affirmatively.

As soon as this was said, the villagers immediately went crazy.

"No poison?"

"How is it possible? All the officials have personally confirmed that the salt he made poisoned thirteen people to death!"

"Yes, the official's words cannot be false!"

……

"If it's really poisonous, how can we be fine if we eat it every day?"

Mazi retorted.

"This"

All the villagers were dumbfounded.

"If you still don't believe me, then I will present evidence now to let you know whether the salt made by Xiao Linzi is poisonous or not!"

As Mazi said, he took out a pack of refined salt from his pocket:

"This is the salt I got from my brother's salt workshop yesterday. Now, I'm drinking it in front of your face. See if I'm okay!"

"I'm coming too!"

Lin Xiaowu said.

"And I!"

Enduring the pain, Lan Lian quickly brought three bowls of water from the kitchen. Mazi divided the salt into three parts and melted them in the water.

Then the three drank the brine in one gulp in front of everyone.

"Home!"

Lu Xiang watched as Mazi finished drinking the concentrated salt water, and she sat down on the ground with a pale face.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe that Lin Xiao could make any salt. The previous ones were all just luck.

The villagers saw that the faces of the three of Mazi did not change after drinking the concentrated salt water, and they couldn't help being puzzled, wondering whether the three of them had been poisoned.

But no one dared to try rashly, so they had to wait patiently for the three of Mazi to see if there was any sign of poisoning.

Minutes passed by.

The three of them still stood there unscathed, without any expression of discomfort.

"This, what's going on!"

The villagers murmured suspiciously.

"Let me just say, Xiao Linzi can't make poisonous salt!"

"That is to say, we eat every day, and there is no problem with eating every meal. How come that family of thirteen will be poisoned to death?"

"My God, could it be that someone is jealous of the salt made by our brother's salt workshop, so they poisoned it?"

"Very likely! It must be like this!"

"Oh, my salt, how could I just throw it all over the place, what a pity!"

……

Seeing that Mazi and the others showed no signs of being poisoned, the villagers knew that the salt Lin Xiao made was not poisonous, so they immediately changed their direction and all defected to Lin Xiao's side.

"It's not good, it's not good, someone is going to demolish Brother's salt workshop!"

At this moment, a man ran over in a panic, it was Gao Jin's younger brother.

When the villagers heard this, they all gathered around.

"What's going on! You speak slowly, don't panic!"

"Tell me, who is going to demolish our brother's salt workshop!"

The villagers asked nervously one by one.

"It's the officials! They didn't find Mr. Lin in the workshop, so they vented their evil fire on the workshop, threatening to vent their anger only by demolishing the workshop!"

Gao Jin's younger brother replied in a panic.

"Where did Xiao Linzi go?"

the village chief asked.

"I... I don't know. I only know that a few people in official uniforms came early this morning. They took Mr. Lin away, and we never saw Mr. Lin again."

Gao Jin's younger brother answered truthfully.

The villagers raised their hearts when they heard the words.

The people from the government took Lin Xiao away early in the morning?
Then where did the person who claimed to be the government come from?
An ominous premonition lingered in everyone's minds.

"Little Linzi, don't let anything happen to you!"

Mazi hurriedly murmured in his heart.

Lan Lian stomped her feet anxiously:
"Master, you can't have any accidents! Otherwise, I won't be able to survive!"
