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

Chapter 24: Distant Relatives are worse than Nearby Neighbors
Although Lin Xiao's analysis cannot be carefully considered, it is more than enough to scare the illiterate villagers.

They were all thinking about a question, who would steal Lin Xiao's money and set it on fire?
This is also wicked!
Lin Xiao walked towards Aunt Wu calmly:
"Aunt Wu, can you tell me who said that Yuyan's mother is dying of illness and wants to let Yuyan go back?"

Aunt Wu thought about it and said:
"It's a man with a hairy beard. He has a strange face. He said he is from the Li family village, and he came here to report the news."

As soon as Aunt Wu finished speaking, a little boy in the crowd suddenly burst into tears.

"Woooo~~ I saw Brother Wang Le and a man with a hairy beard went to Brother Lin Xiao's house. The bearded man found me and told me not to tell anyone, or he would kill me~~wuwuwu~~"

What the little boy said while crying shocked everyone present. It turned out that this matter was done by Wang Le and other outsiders!

Lin Xiaohu came out and confirmed to the little boy again: "Yang Zi, are you sure it was Brother Wang Le who did it?"

"Hmm! It's Brother Wang Le and Lianmao Huzi, they did it!"

The little boy wiped away his tears and snot, and vowed.

Lin Xiaohu trembled with anger:

"Damn it, while my father and mother were away, he actually ganged up with outsiders to do this kind of trick to the people in his own village! He really is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

The village head and Ma Guihua loaded all the salt from Lin Xiao on a cart early yesterday morning, and delivered it to the city.

As soon as they left the village, such a big incident happened in the village. Lin Xiaohu suddenly felt that he was useless and had no deterrent power at all.

I can't help but hate Wang Le, a foreigner.

"Xiao Linzi, why don't we organize a few strong men to go to the dungeon to catch this bastard Wang Le back?"

On the surface, Mazi said he was light-hearted, but in fact he was already in a hurry.

That is the money that Lin Xiao exchanged for with his life!

Lin Xiaowu even rolled up his sleeves and said:

"Come on, let's copy the guy, now go and tie that bastard back from the dungeon!"

"Brother Wu, don't be impulsive!"

Lin Xiao grabbed Lin Xiaowu's arm: "That place is so dangerous, we can't go there!"

The underground city is a place of joy in the world. It has everything in it. It is Wang Le's favorite place, not one of them.

But often in this kind of place, there is a thug in three steps, and a bodyguard in five steps.

Even if you gather all the strong men in Linjia Village, you may not be able to come back alive alone!

Besides, except for the few coins that were placed at home because they were too heavy, she kept all the rest of the money in her bosom and carried it with her.

As for salt, yesterday the village chief and Ma Guihua took away a cart, and Li Yuyan sold it for fifty catties.

Other odds and ends were also given away by the villagers who went out to sell salt.

So there are losses, but not many.

Even if all her belongings were really gone, she, Lin Xiao, was not afraid. After selling salt for a while, wouldn't the money come back?
No wonder that in the historical dynasties she knew, no matter which dynasties it was, it was forbidden to buy and sell illegal salt.

There is no other reason, and the money from selling salt is so fast!
"But you don't want your money anymore? You are penniless, how will you live in the future!"

Lin Xiaowu said eagerly.

"If the money is gone, I can earn it again. I have hands and feet. It is not difficult to earn money at all. Don't worry!"

Lin Xiao believed in himself.

"You, you, alas!"

The sufferer had already spoken, and he couldn't say anything more as an outsider, so he could only sigh heavily.

"Xiao Linzi, don't worry, you should stay at Brother Xiao Wu's house first, and I will send you some food later!"

Mazi opened the mouth and said.

"I still have some wild rabbit meat, and I'll send it to you too!"

"And me, the dried wild vegetables I dried are delicious when fried, so I'll send them to you too!"

"I have that too……"

Looking at the simple and honest villagers, Lin Xiao realized why the ancients said "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor".

"Xiaohu, this is Wang Le's wife, what should I do?"

Several outraged village women pushed a woman over.

She looked miserable, with disheveled hair and a bruised nose.

The clothes are messy and the feet are bare. From a distance, they look exactly like refugees.

She was trembling all over, and she knelt down on the ground in fright, not knowing what to do.

"Why does she look like this? Did you hit her?"

Lin Xiaohu frowned and asked.

"We didn't. When Wang Le's family found her, she was already like this. Most likely Wang Le beat her up."

A village woman glanced at the woman unkindly, and said lightly.

"Xiaohu, what did you bring her here for?"

Although Lin Xiao hated Wang Le very much, she knew that the girl in front of her was innocent.

"It's the same reason to pay off debts, to pay off father's debts to sons, and to pay off husband's debts to wives."

Lin Xiaohu said:
"Wang Le stole all your belongings, so let his wife return it, send it to the official or sell it, as long as you ask, I will do it!"

When the woman heard that she was going to be sent to an official or sold, she immediately kowtowed to Lin Xiaozhi in fright:
"Brother, I beg you, please do me a favor and spare me! You really don't know anything!"

A penniless woman like her wants to pay off the debt owed by Wang Le, but has no other choice but to sell herself to Wanhualou.

"Wang Le snatched all the dowry I brought, and then never returned home. Later, when he came back, it was the time he blackmailed my elder brother. He didn't get anything. He beat me up and beat me up. The valuable shoes were also taken away, he came back suddenly last night, beat me up without saying a word, then ran away again, I really don't know..."

The woman cried with tears and snot, that since she married into the Lin family village, she could only earn a living by digging wild vegetables every day, and the only meat was the snake meat that Lin Xiao got from killing the giant python that day.

What a poor man indeed!

Lin Xiao sighed, and said to Lin Xiaohu:

"Let's see it this way. Wang Le burned my house down and stole all my belongings. It's better for the village to be the master and give me the house of Wang Le's family. This can be regarded as clearing up, how about it?"

Wang Le's house was built later. It is more spacious and comfortable than Lin Xiao's house, and it is more suitable for salt production.

It's not a day or two since she's been thinking about his house.

"It's a good idea, I'm in charge, so it's decided!"

Lin Xiaohu agreed without thinking.

Others in the village also applauded.

After all, with a house, Lin Xiao's salt business can start running again.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, houses in the village did not have title deeds, and the ownership of the houses was generally determined by the village head and the villagers.

The woman was afraid that Lin Xiao would repent, so she stood up and ran after kowtowing, but was stopped by Lin Xiao:

"Where are you going?"

"I, I, I don't know..."

A woman is the water poured out by a married daughter, how can her mother's family take her in again?

Her mother's family can't go back, and her husband's family is gone. The woman is really homeless now!

　Next time.

　　He felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

　　Immediately afterwards, he felt as if he was being dragged down by something in everything he did.

　　Obviously one thing is about to succeed, but it will be yellow in his hands.

　　Furthermore, it is clear that some things are already certain, but once he takes over, he will immediately be defeated.

　　There are countless things like this, and he who was expected to be promoted was directly fired by the company because he kept making mistakes...
