"Old Liu, Badou saved you back then, I know you are sincere in repaying your kindness, but one thing is the same, this IOU was indeed made by me and Badou, and there is his signature on it!" Zhao Meng said with a gloomy face.

Liu Lao stopped talking, but he put the stick horizontally in front of him, and his attitude of resistance was very obvious.

Zhao Meng snorted coldly, glared at him, then turned his head to Li Lin and said, "Li Shishi, this IOU expires in two days, if you can't make up fifty taels of silver, when the time comes, everything in your Li family will belong to me!"

After speaking, no matter what Li Lin's reaction was, the village elder resolutely turned around and left.

Looking at the back of the village chief leaving, Li Lin's expression became more and more ugly.

Looks like this is in trouble.

Regardless of whether the IOU is true or not, the initiative is now in the hands of the village chief, if he really can't hand over fifty taels of silver two days later, then everything in the Li family may really be taken away by the village chief.

"Stone, don't be afraid, I believe that Badou will not be able to sell you! It must be Zhao Meng, this shameless guy, who tampered with the IOU himself! If he dares to mess around in two days, I will knock him out of this village with a stick!" Liu Lao snorted and said, his righteous appearance made Li Lin, who was in a low mood, also feel a little moved.

"Grandpa Liu, don't worry, I won't let outsiders get involved with everything my father left behind!" Li Lin smiled and responded.

"If you are worthy of being the son of Badou, you know that it will not be a soft egg!" Liu Lao laughed: "Okay, you go back to accompany your mother first, I will continue to guard outside your father's study, and I will not let those little ones take advantage of it!"

"Grandpa Liu, my father's study is really nothing, those people want to enter, let them in, you don't have to stay here all the time!" This is the truth, Li Lin thinks from the bottom of his heart that this study is completely worthless, and those books with extremely poor writing are the same as not.

However, Liu Lao insisted on staying, and after Li Lin persuaded him several times to no avail, he thanked him again and again and returned home directly.

On the way back, Li Lin thought about how to face the threat of the village chief in two days, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that there was nothing to worry about.

Although the current situation seems urgent, Li Lin is still confident that he can save this family - with his status as a writer, it is enough to erase all troubles!

Just imagine, his father just became a writer, and immediately became the object of everyone's admiration, even the mayor of the town next door came to offer his courtesy, if he Li Lin was also like his father, the identity of the writer was made public, presumably the village chief would not dare to act rashly again!

The status of the writer is so high!

"It seems that the schedule to bring my sister back can be advanced, and in two days, I will go to the next town and pick her up. Li Lin secretly decided in his heart, and at the same time, he was also looking forward to it, how wonderful would the expression on the face of the mayor of the next town be after seeing him become a writer?

The ordinary boy who originally quit his marriage turned into a writer, and the carp jumped into the dragon gate and became the writer, anyone will regret it to death, right?

。。。

When Li Lin returned home, it was already dark, and he hurriedly pushed open the door, thinking that his mother should be very worried when he came back so late!

But when he entered the house, the image that caught his eye made him stupid on the spot.

I saw two people sitting at the dining table, and some food was set on the table, and it looked like these meals had been on the table for a while.

"Ah, Shishi, you're back!" Yang Cuihua saw her son coming back, and she didn't care about her inconvenient feet, so she hurriedly stood up.

"Mother. Li Lin smiled and helped his mother back into the seat, then turned his head to look at the other person with a puzzled gaze.

The man was a girl of about fifteen years old, wearing a shabby cotton jacket with a refreshing ponytail tied at the back, and her skin was a little rough because of her long-term work in the fields, but her face was delicate, and she had the feeling of a small jasper.

For this girl, Li Lin actually has no impression.

He originally thought that it was his sister who went to the next village to learn embroidery, but this girl was obviously younger than him, and it was impossible to be a sister no matter how he looked at it.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to disturb you, I heard that your illness has been cured, and I came to visit you!" the girl said with a slightly shy bow.

Li Lin usually doesn't look at her like this all the time, which makes her very shy with thin skin.

"Oh, hello, hello!" Li Lin's expression was very unnatural, and at the same time he held out a strong smile, he really wanted to ask who you were, but he was afraid that he would make a mess after asking...... The other party obviously knew him, and if he asked idiot questions, it would be fine.

"Xiao Yue'er came to see you, why did you react like this?" Yang Cuihua said with a little disgust, feeling that her son was too ignorant.

"Ah, that's right, Xiao Yue'er, thank you!" Li Lin touched the back of his head and smiled, wanting to resolve the embarrassment with laughter.

But I didn't want to, the atmosphere of the scene became more solidified.

"How...... What's wrong?"

Li Lin began to break out in a cold sweat, he knew that he must have said the wrong thing just now, but he didn't know what was wrong!

After a long time, the girl lowered her head embarrassedly, pinched her pants and said, "Brother Lin, you never call me Xiao Yue'er, what's wrong with you today?"

I...... No way!

Li Lin was taken aback, he suddenly thought that this world is much more conservative than the earth in the previous life, and the girls are very reserved.

Dalliance!

Ah, it's flirting!

He hasn't even talked to a girl, and he actually molested someone just now!

Li Lin was ashamed and wanted to find a hole to get into, but on the surface, he pretended to sit down calmly and said, "Yes, I think Xiao Yue'er is quite smooth to read, I will call you like this in the future!"

The girl raised her head and looked at Li Lin in disbelief, her delicate face instantly turned red like a ripe apple!

The girl couldn't believe it, and even Yang Cuihua was a little stunned.

Li Lin picked up the dishes and chopsticks very calmly and began to serve the rice.

"Brother Lin, you ...... Is it that the illness is not cured yet?" The girl's face was like the sunset on the horizon, and she tried to squeeze out this sentence that made Li Lin cry and laugh.

"My illness is cured, I just think that a cute girl like you has a too serious name, and Xiao Yue'er is better. Li Lin said without blushing and panting, although he has never chased girls, but pleasing girls is the basic survival skill of boys, right?

Sure enough, after hearing Li Lin's words, the girl's face turned even redder again, and it seemed that her skin was really thin, and she couldn't afford to be praised by others. This made Li Lin love it even more, and it was clearly his dish!

The mayor's daughter can hit the wall for me, and this girl in front of me is to my taste!

Just when Li Lin was complacent, thinking that he had captured the heart of an innocent, ignorant and kind girl, Yang Cuihua suddenly slapped her calloused hand on the table!

Bang!

Li Lin was taken aback.

"Stone, what's wrong with you? Why do you talk nonsense as soon as you come back! If these words you say get out, what do you want the people in the village to think of Xiao Yue'er?" Yang Cuihua said with a gloomy face.

Li Lin dripped into a cold sweat, it seemed that the conservatism of this world was even more serious than he imagined, and even the old lady who had always looked amiable was mad because of this!

"Aunt Li is right, Brother Lin, you have become so strange!" the girl said, but her face was still flushed.

Li Lin realized that his words and deeds might really be too frivolous in their eyes, so he laughed and said in a dry tone: "Where am I strange?

"Is your illness still not cured?" the girl stretched out her hand, folded her fingers and said, "Brother Lin, you used to be timid, cowardly, silent, dull, and uncaring about people, why have you become like this now, and you have become ...... Glib...... Flim Flam!"

The previous adjectives had already made Li Lin cry, and the last sentence pierced his heart deeply...... What is a flim tongue called?

It seems that this is self-defeating.

But how can this be? Aren't people all hooking their fingers when they cross over, and a bunch of women rushing to throw themselves into their arms? Why is it that it is not good for them to go out of school, and even the old lady does not want to see him!

Li Lin said he was very sad.

"Stone, pay attention to your own words and deeds, Xiao Yue'er is a good girl, being ridiculed by you like this, where do you make her cheeky?" Yang Cuihua said seriously.

It's not enough to say she's cute?

Li Lin lowered his head aggrievedly, picked up a mouthful of food, and muttered, "I know, I won't be like this in the future." ”

"This is my good stone!" Yang Cuihua nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time gave Li Lin a bite of food.

"By the way, mother, how can we still have rice in our house?" After eating a few bites of rice, Li Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong, wasn't the rice jar empty this morning, why did he have food now.

"Oh, I still have some rice at home, I brought it here. The girl said embarrassedly.

It's a charcoal in the snow.

Li Lin's favorability towards her is getting higher and higher, and he can see from the girl's dress that their family is probably not very wealthy, but she still brought rice to help the Li family, who had just lost their pillars, and this kindness was great.

"Thank you. Li Lin said very sincerely.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, Aunt Li has always taken good care of me, I just do what I should do. The girl said with her head down.

Li Lin smiled slightly.

。。。

Very peaceful dinner, although the meal is basic, but the atmosphere is harmonious.

During the meal, Li Lin listened more and talked less, so as not to say too much and say the wrong thing. From the conversation between the girl and her mother, he learned that the girl's full name was Shen Lingyue, and that there was only one grandfather in the family to take care of her, and her parents had passed away a long time ago.

Since only her grandfather could go to the field in the family, she was entrusted to Yang Cuihua to take care of her when she was a child, and it was not until she grew up that she followed the field to help her grandfather share the hard work.

In other words, Shen Lingyue grew up with Li Lin on a certain level, and in a popular way, she is a childhood sweetheart.

"According to irresponsible British research, the chance of childhood sweethearts developing into lovers is at least sixty percent higher than that of ordinary people, that is, I still have a chance!" Li Lin said to himself in his heart, thinking that he must not give up because of that little setback just now.

Shen Lingyue, who was still chatting with Yang Cuihua, didn't know at this time that the obscene guy in front of her who was burying her head in cooking had already begun to make up her mind in her heart......

。。。

Li Lin's sister is learning embroidery from the sister-in-law Wang in the next village, and sometimes she only comes back once every few nights, and tonight she has asked someone to say that she will not come back. However, although there are only Li Lin and the three of them at this moment, there is a faint feeling of home.

"Ling Yue, if you don't come home so late, won't your grandfather be worried?" Li Lin asked.

"My grandfather went to bed early, and besides, it's not the first time I've come here, he knows where I am!" Shen Lingyue smiled slightly, and the cute little dimples suddenly appeared.

"Xiao Yue'er will stay tonight! It just so happens that Yao'er is not here, so you will sleep in her room!" Yang Cuihua said with a smile.

Yao'er is Li Lin's sister, Li Yao.

Shen Lingyue first refused embarrassedly, but in the end, she couldn't resist Yang Cuihua's insistence, so she had to be sent into the room to rest half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

After Shen Lingyue entered the room, Yang Cuihua turned around and asked Li Lin, "By the way, Shishi, where did you go today? Why did you come back so late?"

"Oh, that's ......"

Li Lin recounted what happened today, but he did not say anything about the secret of the study and the village chief's IOU, on the one hand, he wanted to surprise his mother, he was already a writer, and he planned to announce it at an appropriate time in the future; on the other hand, he didn't want his mother to worry, after all, the final additional conditions of the IOU were too chilling, and he didn't want his father's image to collapse in his mother's heart.

Besides, it is not known whether the final clause of the IOU was added by the village chief without authorization.

"So that's the case, that Zhao Meng is really hateful! Fortunately, Liu Lao drove him away for you, otherwise your father's study would have been infiltrated by these people!" Yang Cuihua sighed.

"Mother, what is Grandpa Liu's relationship with his father, and why is he so obsessed with guarding that study?" Li Lin asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

He could see that Liu Lao had a good relationship with his father, and he could even say that he was very iron, but he still couldn't figure out why his father was gone, and Liu Lao could stay so willingly to guard the study.

It's not easy for a friend to do this.

"In the early years, Liu Lao was wrongfully imprisoned and almost sentenced to death, but it was your father who overrode public opinion and went to the city alone to seek justice from the government, which allowed Liu Lao to be released. Yang Cuihua said slowly, telling the story of the year.

Li Lin suddenly realized, and at the same time added another comment to his father who had never met: He is a person with great integrity and will stick a knife in the ribs for his friends!

Such people usually put themselves in danger, but they tend to be very popular.

At the same time, Li Lin was also more determined, it was impossible for such a father to sell his wife and children in order to become a writer, and the last clause of the IOU must have been added by the village chief without authorization!

In the dead of night, Li Lin read it at night, carefully read Sun Jun's "On the Writer", and after making sure that he remembered any details, he set a fire to burn the book.

He knows that there are countless people who covet this book now, and there is a way that the husband is not guilty, and it is too dangerous to hide this book on his body, and today the village chief is not prepared, otherwise Li Lin may not be able to deal with some tough measures easily.
