Chapter 18 Counting is counting
Lin Dai was moved to tears and threw herself into Chen Li's arms.
In this era, the status of the mother-in-law is different from that of later generations, even if the son-in-law is lazy, as long as he is a man, he is still the backbone of the family, not to mention Chen Li, who has skills.
After the two finished speaking, Chen Li began to recall the plow in Lin Dai's mouth in his mind.
This plough can loosen the soil and sow seeds, and the ancient plough practice is more leaky, and it is very inconvenient to use.
But this is not a problem in Chen Li's eyes.
If he wants to, he can always optimize a plow that is twice as efficient.
When the time comes, they can also rent out the plough while ensuring the income from the land, and they will be able to earn more or less.
But he didn't tell Lin Dai this.
When he succeeds, he will surprise her again.
It didn't take long for the village chief to come up to the door again with his things, and his face was no longer arrogant and disdainful.
He had a smile on his face, but he was actually very bitter in his heart.
"Village chief? Why are you here? Chen Li squinted slightly, seeing that he was carrying a bunch of things, in fact, Chen Li already understood what he meant.
"Hey, hero, I'm here to apologize."
Lin Dai was about to step forward to shirk it, but Chen Li stopped her.
"Since the village chief is so enthusiastic, then I won't excuse myself. Thank you village chief for your kindness. This is in the past. ”
If you offend his daughter-in-law, you naturally have to pay the price, this thing is not accepted in vain, and he felt a dark feeling when he looked at the village chief's painful appearance.
The village chief didn't expect this person to be polite to him at all, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, said a few words and left here.
Lin Dai saw that the time was not early, so she discussed the food with Chen Li and put it all in her mother's house, and only took the fabric and followed Chen Li to the house.
The two villages are not far apart.
So the two of them didn't rush home, but walked slowly, talking from time to time, but they didn't feel bored.
And Chen Li didn't know what was going on.
Ever since I left the village, I always felt that someone was watching me.
He turned back several times, but he didn't find any traces, but it made him wonder if he was a little too suspicious.
Passing by a wood, Chen Li finally heard a cough from behind him.
At this moment, several people with black masks suddenly rushed out of the woods and ran directly towards Chen Li, snatching the burden from his body and running away without saying a word.
Lin Dai was already stupefied by the appearance of these people.
By the time she came back to her senses, several of them had already disappeared without a trace.
"Husband. They, they took our baggage away. ”
Thinking of the things in the baggage, Lin Dai only felt that the whole person was dark.
It's over, these people have taken their lives.
After Lin Dai reacted, she called for help in the village.
"Help, help, someone is robbing something, someone is robbing something."
Qingtian Bairi's voice directly shouted out the people in the two villages.
It just so happened that they saw a few people in black running wildly with a burden, and they all immediately came over to watch the excitement.
Lin Dai was out of breath crying, and grabbed Chen Li's clothes with one hand.
"Husband, how are we going to live...... The money is in that baggage, and they snatched it like this, how can we survive in the future? ”
Chen Li looked at the people who came to join in the fun, and slammed his fist on the ground.
"Who is it? Who robbed us of the baggage. ”
There was grief and hatred on his face, and there was a bit of decadence on his face, which looked even sadder than Lin Dai's.
Wang Qiaoqiao also ran out when she listened to the movement at home.
As soon as he saw this scene, he immediately called someone to help Chen Li catch the black-clothed people who were fleeing in all directions.
"Chen Li, Lin Dai, won't all the money you have from selling wild boars be in it, what are you still doing sitting here, hurry up and chase people."
Chen Li glanced at her and sighed.
"It's not just the money from selling wild boars, but even the few copper plates left in our house have all been robbed by someone, this is someone deliberately designed us here, we are afraid that we have been targeted by those people early, which makes us how to live in the future."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers were full of embarrassment, but there was no shortage of those who were happy because of the misfortune of others.
Chen Li's gaze swept over these people one by one, and Lin Dai's voice cried louder and louder.
I thought I was going to live a good life soon, but it turned out that it was really a night back to before the liberation, and I am afraid that no one can accept this matter.
Chen Li lowered his eyes and hugged Lin Dai in his arms.
There was no more sadness on his face.
He had expected this from the beginning.
In this troubled world, carrying a huge amount of money is a talisman.
What's more, the news that he got money from selling wild boars spread too far, so naturally some people will have crooked thoughts about the money on him.
Since he returned home with Lin Dai, he had a feeling that he was being watched.
So when Lin Dai was taking the fabric, Chen Li deliberately said that the silver was too heavy, so he put all the money in the burden and carried it away.
As he expected, someone snatched the burden in the end.
In this way, everyone knows that they have lost the money from selling wild boars, and naturally they will not continue to attract the attention and hatred of others, and they will be able to let him and Lin Dai live better in the village.
The man who had been sent out ran back out of breath.
Several people looked at Chen Li with some shame in their eyes.
"The men in black were so fast that they were so clever that they ran separately, and in the end they all got into the woods on the mountain. We have few people, and we have many beasts on the mountain, and we have returned. Chen Li, we didn't recover the money you got it......"
Several people who originally followed him to the town to sell wild boars also went to chase people together, but they didn't catch up. Several people had dejected expressions on their faces.
"Chen Li, brother is sorry for you."
Chen Li stood up and thanked a few people, his expression serious and serious.
"Thank you brothers for being willing to help me, it's just that the money can't be recovered. My husband is standing between heaven and earth, and it is just some silver, and there will always be a time when I can earn it back. ”
Lao Zhao sighed.
"That's what you can support your family. All this money is lost, how can your family spend the winter? ”
Seeing that Lao Zhao was so worried, Chen Li patted him on the shoulder instead.
