Chapter 21: Deceived
Father Lin took medicine for several days, but his health did not improve, but he got worse and worse because of the discontinuation of medicine.
Only then did I realize that I might have been deceived, I was very annoyed, and I was in a hurry to get angry and in a bad mood, and my physical condition was getting worse day by day.
Shen Lingxiu heard that the divine doctor was still hanging around the town to deceive people, so she deliberately pulled Lin Ziwen to see it.
The two followed the crowd and saw the deceptive method of the miracle doctor, Shen Lingxiu felt very ironic, falsely reported his youth, and then looked for help, this method is okay, and the ordinary people who have never seen the world are naturally convinced.
Shen Lingxiu pulled Lin Ziwen away from the crowd, and then spoke.
"Let's go, go to the government to report to the official."
Lin Ziwen was a little stunned and didn't react. Shen Lingxiu twisted him before he came back to his senses.
"Huh? Report...... Report to the officer. "He has always been weak and more than less, and he has never thought of such a thing as reporting to the official.
Shen Lingxiu was very unhappy when she saw his reaction like this, and spoke.
"If you don't report to the official, there are some people who get away with it and deceive people everywhere?"
His eyes were extremely sharp, and the power of justice surged from all directions, and the righteousness exuded by Shen Lingxiu's body at this moment made Lin Ziwen infected, he took Shen Lingxiu's hand, and then walked to the official mansion.
Shen Lingxiu beat the drum to sue the liar who claimed to be a miracle doctor. The government attached great importance to it, and took people to the street to arrest the miracle doctor who was collecting money, and the trial was held on the same day, and Shen Lingxiu and Lin Ziwen knelt on the side as the complainants.
"My lord, the old man is wronged, the old man is old!" But the man refused to admit it, but wanted to sue them both for slander.
"Please bring that young man, sir." The young man in Shen Lingxiu's mouth was the drag, she felt very familiar when she was on the street before, but now that she remembered it, she had seen this person before, he was a homeless man, and she asked Ah Bao to give him a little food.
I didn't expect him to be such a scumbag, following a piece of deception.
After a while, the young man was brought in, and the two refused to admit it, nor did they admit to knowing each other, and the fake miracle doctor threw away all his pills when he was arrested, and the case suddenly fell into a bottleneck.
If there is no evidence, he cannot be convicted, and I am afraid that he will continue to go out and do evil.
"My lord, the villain is a businessman who does his duty, I don't know what kind of heart this couple has, and I ask the adult to call the shots for the villain!" Instead, he hit a rake.
The news of the lawsuit reached the Lin family, Chi Huifang opened her mouth and closed her mouth, and Lin's father was very anxious, the Lin family had never been in a lawsuit!
He asked people to help him to the county office.
Shen Lingxiu remembered Father Lin, as a victim and a witness, as long as Father Lin came forward to testify, he was afraid that he would not be convicted?
"My lord, the woman asks for a witness."
Shen Lingxiu spoke.
There was a panic on the fake miracle doctor's face, but he still pretended to be calm and aggrieved.
Father Lin was already at the gate of the county office, and finally squeezed in, and heard that Shen Lingxiu asked him to be a witness.
He was very hesitant, and he was even more resentful of that liar, but going to court for such a thing, his old Lin family had naturally never done his duty.
He was very hesitant, and he was taken in while he was still hesitating.
"Lin, let me ask you, can you testify that this person is a liar and cheated you out of your money." Father Lin was stunned.
Won't you lose face in this way?
I've lived for more than 50 years, and I'm a figure with a face in the village, so it's really not nice to be deceived and say this kind of thing!
He glanced at Lin Ziwen and Shen Lingxiu resentfully, blaming them for involving him.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, the county master patted the table, and there was no way for him to open his mouth and tell everything about it.
Seeing that everything was exposed, the liar was shocked and could only obediently confess his guilt.
However, his money has long been squandered, so the villagers' defrauded money has also been wasted.
The people who originally thought that they could recover the money they had been defrauded were suddenly full of anger, seeing that the money they had worked so hard to earn was gone, they were naturally angry, and they began to blame Father Lin when they had nowhere to vent their anger.
"It's all Lin Bo who takes the lead, otherwise we wouldn't have lost so much!"
"That's it! Isn't that what he blames? And pull us down! ”
The Lin family suddenly became the target of public criticism in the village. Shen Lingxiu heard the rumors and lamented the unreasonable folk customs in the backward villages.
Obviously she was deceived, but she blamed others, she shook her head, indicating that she couldn't understand.
Father Lin even locked himself at home and didn't go out, he was depressed, he was a lot older, when did he get this kind of talk, not to mention that he was cheated of more money than anyone else, who did he talk to.
Now it's okay, the family has been cheated, and he counts the only two dozen copper plates with a sad face.
The family seems to be facing a financial crisis again, Shen Lingxiu is sensitively aware of it.
"It's okay, as long as someone is there, the money will be there sooner or later." Shen Lingxiu was still soft-hearted, and she couldn't see others sad, so she opened her mouth to comfort and brought a bowl of noodles to Father Lin.
And Father Lin sighed lowly, counting the dozens of copper coins back and forth.
"Dad, I want to sell noodles, you know the noodles I make, and they will definitely sell well." Shen Lingxiu felt that this was an opportunity, and took the opportunity to propose to sell noodles, now is the time to need money, she thinks Father Lin should be able to agree.
Unexpectedly, Father Lin still refused.
"Settle down. Isn't that messy enough? Father Lin vetoed it with a sad face, and Shen Lingxiu didn't continue, she said it clearly in vain, it seems that she still has to think of some other way.
Chi Huifang also often pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and accused Father Lin of losing all the family's money.
Since Father Lin fell ill and the work at home pointed to their family Lin Shengyuan, Chi Huifang was confident, and felt that her status in this family was high, and she dared to say what she didn't dare to say, and she also instructed Shen Lingxiu from time to time, which made Shen Lingxiu very unhappy.
"Dad, our family is almost out of the pot! Do those pills you bought work for dinner? She sneered, but these words caused Father Lin to cough violently.
"Say less! Sister-in-law! Shen Lingxiu opened his mouth to stop.
"Sell it! Take those two bags of white noodles in the kitchen! Father Lin's old voice came, and this was said to Chi Huifang.
Selling noodles? It's a good job! Chi Huifang was very happy, Father Lin never let her take over the money, now she is relieved?
She hurriedly ran to the kitchen, moved the noodles out, and pushed them out of the door, as if she was afraid that Father Lin would regret it.
Shen Lingxiu's face is not good-looking, she has reached the level of selling noodles, and she still doesn't agree with her going out to do business, this old man is really stubborn!
