Chapter 4 Departure

The town of Baihe is named after the White River to the east of the town, which has an abundant water that can be used to irrigate the farmland of the surrounding villages. More than a dozen villages around Baihe Town divert water from Baihe River to irrigate farmland. Linjia Village is one of them, located in the northeast of Baihe Town, about ten miles away from Baihe Town, the Baihe River flows through the east of the village, and most of the villagers also build houses and live in the east of the village, which is close to the water source and convenient to live. There are more than 100 households in Linjia Village, most of them are surnamed Lin, and the small Zhuangzi where Lin Zhu lives also belongs to the scope of Linjia Village, but it is located in the westernmost part of the village, in the periphery of Linjia Village, and the nearest family is also two or three hundred meters away, so the villagers of Linjia Village are not familiar with the situation in Xiaozhuangzi, but they are very familiar with the forest manager who is responsible for external affairs such as purchasing, and the village chief of Linjia Village is a person who knows a little about Xiao Zhuangzi.

Because he was about to leave, Steward Lin specially found the village chief Lin Changqing to bid farewell to him, invited him to be a guest in Zhuangzi at night, and told him that Lin Zhu was going to live here alone. As the head of the village, Lin Changqing also understood that this Lin steward was a person with some background, otherwise he would not have easily left Lin Zhu's household registration in their village, so that an eight-year-old girl would become the head of a household, and there would be a lot of fields, yards and other properties for them. You must know that the villagers here generally only have seven or eight acres of land, and some even less, so in the eyes of the village chief, Lin Zhu is a little rich woman at a young age.

In the evening, Lin Changqing, the village chief, came to the small Zhuangzi, this was the first time he entered the Zhuangzi, looking at the houses and buildings that were no different from ordinary farmhouses, he felt strange in his heart, which was a little out of tune with the generous behavior of Lin Steward who usually showed outside to invite guests and drink. Because Steward Lin is in this rural place, there are not many affairs and few pastimes, so he often goes out to chat with Lin Changqing, the village head of Linjia Village.

After all, Lin Changqing is the head of a village, although he is a little strange in his heart, he does not show it, and he is noisy with Lin Steward, eating and drinking, and saying some inconsequential polite words. After being full of wine and food, Steward Lin introduced Lin Zhu to Lin Changqing, nothing more than please take care of it or something, of course, it was just some polite words, people left the tea and cooled, as soon as Steward Lin left, how Village Chief Lin treated Lin Zhu, it depends on the fate between Lin Zhu and Village Chief Lin.

After sending off Lin Changqing, the village chief, Lin went back to the room to rest, and the Wang family entered Lin Zhu's house again, Lin Zhu was about to practice the use of the space ring in front of the teacup, and when he saw the Wang family coming in, he had to pretend to drink water. Wang walked up to Lin Zhu, sat on the chair opposite her, and unceremoniously poured water to drink, and didn't speak until he finished drinking the water in the teacup, "Sister Zhu'er's spirit looks very good, and her body is fine," there were words in Wang's words, which made Lin Zhu look very uncomfortable, "Thanks to you and Steward Lin, it's really much better." "Proper counterattack is good for mental health, Lin Zhu doesn't want to always wronged himself, left and right they are destined to see each other again, and it doesn't matter if the impression is good or bad.

"That's good, I'm still worried that after we leave tomorrow, you won't be able to take care of yourself, after all, it's not easy for us to raise you from a young age to such a big age, and I'm very worried about you." Wang didn't hear the sarcasm in Lin Zhu's words, "Although there is a monthly amount of silver in the house, but you have not been in good health since you were a child, and you often ask for a doctor, plus take medicine, there is no left at all throughout the year, and we often make up for it, and now we have to go back, there are not many entanglements on the road, and you have to walk for a lot of time on the road, alas, I don't know if the road can support until you return home." Lin Zhu looked at Wang's singing and songwriting performance, it seems that Wang's purpose is not to see if she is in good health, but to cry poor, looking at Wang's in front of him, the hairpin on his head, although it is silver, but it is beautifully made, the weight is not light, the earrings on the ears are still very small, but for the pearls that are still rare in the countryside, needless to say on the wrist, about three taels of silver bracelets often because Wang raised his hand to stroke his own hair bun and exposed his sleeves, not less showing. Although the clothes on his body are simple, the texture is very good, and I think that such a fabric will cost a lot of silver to buy. On the other hand, although the clothes on the original owner's body are made of cotton, the texture is rough, and they are all washed and a little white, and there is not a single piece of jewelry on the body. On the surface, he is the master, but he has no money in his hand. It's conceivable that life was miserable.

Lin Zhu stopped talking, just looked at Wang quietly, his gaze stopped on the bracelet on her wrist. Seeing that Lin Zhu didn't speak for a long time, Wang followed her gaze and saw that his favorite bracelet showed his sleeves, coughed awkwardly, and hurriedly covered the bracelet with his sleeves. I said everything I wanted to say, and finally got some self-knowledge, got up and said goodbye and left.

Although Xiaolin Xiuzhu has disappeared, Lin Zhu still feels sorry for her, she has suffered a lot of grievances at a young age, although she is not ashamed of the actions of Lin Steward and the Wang family, but what is even more infuriating is her biological parents who have never appeared. Not only did he not take good care of her, but she was also oppressed by her subordinates, and she was not even as good as a child of an ordinary family, and now she was abandoned again, so that she completely lost the idea of living. I really hope that the saying that there is retribution in this world can be realized.

But I can't think of her parents, because I don't know if Lu Dao can still meet in this life, the Lin steward and the Wang family in front of him, Lin Zhu hopes to get some retribution first, how can I do it, Lin Zhu couldn't figure it out, her body was too small, she couldn't do anything, suddenly her eyes fell on the bamboo mark on the fingers of her left hand, and the space of the ring could silently collect the items touched by her left hand, and it would not be discovered, "It seems that you can get back some things that have been deducted over the years from the Wang family, Just to solve the dilemma of no money. Thinking of this, Lin Zhu felt a little relaxed in his heart, cleaned up, went to bed, and accumulated his physical strength for tomorrow.

The next day, Steward Lin and Wang got up very early, and when the hired carriage arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they successively carried the bags and cages loaded with the cart and tied them up strongly. Lin Zhu also got up early in the morning, waited at the door, watched them carry things in and out, and didn't think to help, not to mention the lack of energy in the little arms and legs, they should not worry about Lin Zhu to help, the Wang family is quite careful about her belongings, so she received the valuable things in the cage and placed them in the carriage herself. After packing up and loading the car, the Wang family had time to take care of Lin Zhu who was standing aside, and was about to leave for home, Wang's mood was very good, and he also showed a rare kind smile in the face of Lin Zhu: "Sister Zhu, we are leaving soon, you have to take good care of yourself." "Anyway, we have been together for eight years, and the Wang family is not stingy with the most kindness, "What's the matter, look for Lin Changqing, village chief, for the sake of my man's face, he will also help you." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. But Lin Zhu, who had been watching her since just now, how could she let it go easily when she saw the heavy silver bracelet in her hand and the purse around her waist, she pretended to be reluctant, grabbed Wang's wrist with both hands, and put her left hand on the bracelet "inadvertently", "Don't you go, okay?" Lin Zhu whispered a small request, and at the same time wanted to "receive", and immediately felt that there was something more in his space, and Wang was busy pulling out his hand and didn't notice it.

Wang, who finally pulled out his hand, was a little annoyed by Lin Zhu's entanglement, "Okay, Zhu'er, didn't you make it clear to you a long time ago, don't pester me anymore." ”

How could Lin Zhu, who had already made a plan, let the Wang family easily throw her away, stepped forward to hug Wang's waist, and took away her purse. "I can't bear to let you go." Wang, who had long been impatient, looked at Lin Zhu like this, pulled away her hand, pushed her away, got into the carriage without looking back, no longer looked at Lin Zhu who was pushed to the ground by her, and clapped his hands in disgust, as if he had been stained with stolen goods.

Steward Lin, who had already gotten into the car, saw what was happening in front of him, his brows furrowed, his face was very bad, and he urged Wang to get into the car quickly, his eyes swept over Lin Zhu, and he didn't speak to her, in his eyes, Lin Zhu was just an insignificant existence, and there was no need to bother anymore. So, as soon as Wang got into the car, he immediately let the coachman set off.

Seeing that Steward Lin and the Wang family walked away without looking back, Lin Zhu, who was sitting on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and patted the soil on his hands, until he couldn't see their carriage, then turned around and returned to the courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

"Ha, it's finally gone, acting is really not my forte." Lin Zhu returned to the main room, looked at the east house where they once lived, and said to himself that all the things in the east house had been moved, only some large items such as tables, chairs, benches and beds could not be moved, and nothing else was left. Just after a glance, Lin Zhu returned to the Westinghouse where he lived. Got up early in the morning and stood outside for a long time, Lin Zhu was already tired, sat at the table and drank a sip of water, and took a break.

After a while, Lin Zhu raised his hand and touched the bamboo seal on his left hand, and the "compensation" of the Wang family that he had received before appeared on the table, looking at the silver bracelet with a full weight, although he didn't know how much Lu Dao could be worth as jewelry, but it was about three taels of weight, and how much it could be exchanged for some money, and then opened the purse, and poured out two silver ingots from it, some scattered silver, and a lot of copper coins, one silver ingot was about five taels, and the scattered silver added up to one or two, and the copper coins counted more than two hundred. For the current Lin Zhu, it is a lot of property.

"I don't know what the purchasing power is here, I have to find a time to go out and have a look." Lin Zhu made up his mind to go out, but he first had to talk to the village chief Lin Changqing, after all, if he wanted to live under his rule in the future, he had to have a good relationship with him first.
