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

Chapter 171 Resolving Contradiction
Seeing the two talking and laughing happily, Ma Guihua didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Xiao sold in the gourd, and felt a little anxious, so she interrupted the communication between the two:

"Xiao Linzi, don't blame Auntie for being straightforward. Little Huzi is not related to you, why do you treat him so well? Is there some purpose?"

"Aunt Osmanthus, you are right, I do have a purpose."

Lin Xiao admitted with a smile, not shying away from the presence of the village chief at all.

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Ma Guihua jumped up instantly, pointed at Lin Xiao and angrily scolded:
"I'm warning you, Xiao Linzi. Little Huzi is my lifeblood. If you want to get his idea, I tell you, there's no way!"

Ma Guihua's aggressive appearance made Lin Xiao laugh.

She was too lazy to put on a show, so she simply gave up concealing it and said:

"My purpose is very simple. I want the children of our Linjia Village to be educated and sensible, so that they can seek higher benefits for the people of our Linjia Village in the future, so that the villagers of our Linjia Village can live and work in peace and contentment! I hope that the Linjia Village can prosper , I hope that Lin Family Village will become richer and richer!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiao was stunned. She never thought that she would say such high-sounding words one day, which made her feel ashamed.

But out of kindness, she couldn't bear to watch the villagers go hungry.

More importantly, whether it is a time of peace or prosperity, as long as the villagers are united, life will not be too bad.

The village chief and Ma Guihua were also shocked.

People are selfish, and it is really rare to have such a collective consciousness!

The village head and Ma Guihua looked at each other, and they both saw disbelief and shock in each other's eyes!
Ma Guihua snorted coldly, and asked the words that had been suppressed for a long time:
"Xiao Linzi, you always think about the villagers, do you want to take the place of my old man?"

Hearing the words, the village head immediately rolled his eyes, angrily shouted at Ma Guihua and said:

"Nonsense! You have long hair and short knowledge, how can you say such words that bury your conscience!"

After speaking, the village chief turned to Lin Xiao and sincerely apologized:
"Xiao Linzi, don't listen to your Aunt Osmanthus' nonsense! She is a woman who knows how to be a ghost! You led our whole village to sell salt to get rich, and I should have given you the position of village head! I"

Before the village chief finished speaking, Lin Xiao interrupted with a smile:
"Village chief, don't get excited, Aunt Osmanthus is just outspoken. Now that I'm here today, let me make a statement. I have never coveted the position of village chief. I didn't before, I won't now, and I won't in the future! "

As he spoke, Lin Xiao picked up the jug, poured wine into the cup, and swallowed it down in one gulp.

The village chief couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief seeing Lin Xiao being so forthright, and raised his glass to drink the wine in one gulp.

He was really afraid that Lin Xiao said that he wanted to be the village head, so what should he do?
Fortunately, Lin Xiao has no idea about the position of village chief!
"Xiao Linzi, thank you!"

The village chief thanked him sincerely.

Lin Xiao shook his head:
"Village Chief, it's me who should say thank you. I've been running out all the time recently. If it wasn't for your special care, I wouldn't feel at ease if Lan Lian was alone at home!"

What he said made the village head and Ma Guihua ashamed.

Not only did they not take special care of Lan Lian, but Ma Guihua mistook Lin Xiao for the position of village chief, so she spread rumors about Lin Xiao everywhere, which...

Lin Xiao saw embarrassment flashing across the faces of the village chief and Ma Guihua, and knew that his goal had been achieved.

She continued to eat and drink like a normal person, and after a long while deliberately said slowly:

"I don't know some talkative gossip yesterday, saying that I am a pimp in the brothel, and that the girls I brought back are from the brothel, and they are here to serve the dignitaries. It doesn’t matter if you don’t spread the word, if the general and the others hear it, it will be a serious crime against the Nine Clans!”

Ma Guihua, who was pouring wine, shook her hand and almost spilled the wine.

"Which reckless bitch dares to say such dirty words?!"

When the village chief heard this, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he reprimanded:

"Old woman, the older you get, the more useless you become! You let those sore-mouthed dogs grin everywhere, are you trying to kill the whole village?"

The guilty Ma Guihua was frightened into silence:
"I will teach them a good lesson for those dogs who chew their tongues indiscriminately!"

The village head ignored her, but turned his attention to Lin Xiao and said:

"Xiao Linzi, don't pay attention to those gossips, they must slander you like this because they are jealous of you, I promise you, this kind of thing will never happen in the future, I promise!"

The actions of the village chief touched Lin Xiao's heart. She never thought that the village chief would protect her like this!
There was a warm current in her heart, and her eyes were inexplicably sore.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile:
"Thank you, village chief, I respect you for this glass of wine!"

In order to express her apology, Ma Guihua went to the kitchen to fry some special dishes for Lin Xiao to taste.

Ma Guihua kept staring at Lin Xiao's every move, seeing that Lin Xiao didn't refuse, she couldn't help being secretly happy.

That's the end of the rumor!
Ma Guihua's feelings towards Lin Xiao were dispelled, and the village head's impression of Lin Xiao was improved, and their attitude towards Lin Xiao became more warm.

……

In the middle of the night, a thunderous thunder pierced the quiet night sky.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of thunder resounded through the sky.

People in the village were awakened from their sleep one after another. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and complained dissatisfiedly, but to no avail.

Ma Guihua was awakened by the thunder and was upset, so she put on her clothes cursingly and walked out of the yard to check what was going on.

Suddenly, bean-sized raindrops poured down, crackling and falling on the roof and the stone road, making harsh noises.

The wooden pillars and branches on the side also trembled, as if they would be broken at any moment.

The rain came so fiercely that it turned into a torrential rain in the blink of an eye, pouring chills on my body.

Ma Guihua, who hid in the back room, looked at the pouring rain outside the window, secretly screaming that something is wrong!

The rain is so strange!

The wind was blowing extremely violently!

An ominous premonition faintly rose in her heart!

She hurriedly woke up the village head who was soundly asleep:
"Old man, it looks like it's about to get wet, let's go to the field and have a look!"

The village chief replied confusedly, put on a straw hat and hurried out the door.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole village was shrouded in darkness.

Lin Xiao has been standing by the window, staring out, frowning deeply, with a worried look on his face.

The rice harvest will be ready in half a month, and it is difficult to guarantee that the harvest will not be affected by this sudden storm.

Lin Xiao was restless.

The land in Linjiacun was not fertile in the first place, if the harvest is lost again, it is estimated that this year's harvest will be greatly reduced again.

Although they made money from selling salt, this loss cannot be ignored.
