Chapter 22: Wang's Door
When Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An returned to the entrance of the village with the cloth, they saw many villagers who had just returned from work in the fields carrying hoes to the west of the village. The two felt very strange, there was no one living in the west of the village except their family, and the villagers rarely went to the west of the village, could it be that something happened at home?
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but speed up their pace, quickly past the villagers on the road, and rushed home.
Before he could reach the door, he heard a burst of high-pitched female voices from the yard, mixed with invective.
As the distance shortened, the sound from the courtyard became clearer and clearer, and Lin Yunxuan's face gradually sank.
"The second family, your conscience has let the dog eat it, don't you dare to secretly hide your father and mother's things, that is what your father and mother left to our big house, you quickly take out your father and mother's things, otherwise my mother will fight with you."
In the courtyard, Wang crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at the nose of Zhao Dalin and his wife with the other, and the scolding foamed at the mouth.
"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, I see that these eight achievements are secretly hidden by Dalin and his family."
"I didn't expect that this Dalin and He usually look at the two of them who are quite honest, and they will also play tricks."
Some onlookers couldn't help but discuss.
Zhao Dalin was so angry that his face was flushed, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He Cuifang stood behind him, wiping tears from her eyes.
Wang saw that public opinion was on his side, and he was obviously in an advantage, so he scolded even more vigorously.
Lin Yunxuan opened the villagers who were lying on the courtyard gate to watch the excitement, pushed open the courtyard door with a "snap", and said in a deep voice:
"Who is here to catch a thief?"
Wang was startled by the sudden sound, and looked back weakly, it turned out to be He's niece, and the hanging heart was put back again, pointing at Zhao Dalin and He Cuifang and continuing to scold: "These two are thieves who have no conscience, their family is a thief, and they stole what my father and mother left us in the big house." ”
This sentence made Zhao An angry, his face turned red, and he couldn't say a complete sentence in a hurry, "You, you..."
"You keep saying they stole your things, but what did they steal? Do you have proof? Lin Yunxuan gently patted the back of Zhao An's hand, gave him a look, and asked quietly.
Zhao An received Lin Yunxuan's information, and his impatient heart slowly settled down, and he followed Lin Yunxuan silently.
"That's it, that's it..." Wang hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say why.
"Is it an object or a coin?" When Lin Yunxuan saw this situation, she felt more sure.
"Money? That's right, it's money! When Wang heard the word "silver money", he was excited, and nodded busily.
"How do you know it's your money? Could it be that the money was engraved with a letter that said it belonged to your family? Lin Yunxuan said with a sneer.
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and everyone began to talk about it.
"Whose money will be engraved?!"
"That's right."
"Is there an engraving on your money?"
"Bah, your family needs to be carved!"
Wang's face was red and white for a while, and he simply broke the jar and broke it, and said in his throat: "You don't care if I have engraved or not, anyway, they stole our family's money." ”
"Since there is no inscription on the coin, how can you prove that they stole your coin? If you can't prove it, you're being framed. Lin Yunxuan's eyes were cold, and she swept towards the Wang family.
Wang was caught by Lin Yunxuan's eyes, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
"Who in the village doesn't know that Dalin's family is poor, if it weren't for the money they stole from the big house, how could they have the money to buy meat to eat recently, and they are buying cloth to make new clothes today." A shrill female voice came from outside the courtyard.
Lin Yunxuan looked for prestige, and it turned out that the Li family was speaking for the Wang family. No wonder the Wang family came to the door to make trouble today, and nine times out of ten it has nothing to do with the Li family.
Lin Yunxuan is the truth.
It turned out that the Li family also went to the town this morning, and just saw Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An coming out of the cloth workshop with a cloth, but she came back in an ox cart, but she arrived earlier than Lin Yunxuan and them. As soon as she returned to the entrance of the village, she didn't even care about going home, and ran to find the Wang family like a wind under her feet. At this moment, the Wang family couldn't sit still anymore, and came directly to the door.
Lin Yunxuan coldly glanced at Li who wanted to step forward, Li took a step forward, her eyes were too cold, and she saw that Li was furious in her heart, and she didn't dare to go forward.
"We didn't steal money, we made money from selling food." Zhao An stepped forward and said angrily.
"Xiao An!" He Cuifang heard Zhao An tell the secret of their money-making, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help exclaiming.
As soon as Zhao An spoke, he knew that he had leaked his mouth, so he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lin Yunxuan, he was very annoyed, how could he forget his sister's advice.
"Hey, you still make food to make money, I don't know what kind of craft you have, what kind of food do you do?! Why didn't you make it for us to taste when we didn't separate from the family before? As soon as Wang heard Zhao An's words, he was ready to hold on to them as if he had caught their pigtails.
"This food is something that Aunt Fang and they have recently figured out. Even if they knew how to make it before, they wouldn't make it for you to eat. Lin Yunxuan looked at Wang with a sneer on her face and said.
"Why?" Wang was puzzled.
"You don't deserve it!" Lin Yunxuan said coolly.
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
"You, you..." Wang's index finger pointed at Lin Yunxuan, his face was blue and red, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. She has never lost face in front of so many people, and today it was planted in Lin Yunxuan's hands, and she wrote down this account.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Lin Yunxuan ignored Wang, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "My Aunt Fang has recently figured out a kind of food that needs to use a lot of fresh fish, if you catch fresh fish and want to sell it for money, you can sell it to us, and we will buy it at the price of one penny and one catty." ”
Lin Yunxuan's words were like a bomb, dropped in the middle of everyone, and everyone was in an uproar.
"Are you telling the truth?" Someone asked in disbelief.
"Do you want any fish?" Someone wants to know a little more.
"Of course it's true, but it has to be fresh fish, and we won't want dead fish. Don't want small fish and fish with too many spines, do you hear clearly? Lin Yunxuan continued to say loudly.
"Clear." Echoes echoed over the crowd.
"It's okay, let's just disperse." Lin Yunxuan gave an eviction order, although everyone still wanted to stay and watch the excitement, but when they thought that the God of Wealth had sent a message to let them go, they didn't dare to stay longer, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed a lot. Except for a few villagers who were still looking outside the courtyard of the Zhao family, only the Li family and the Wang family were left.
"What, are you two going to wait until you're done eating?" Lin Yunxuan clasped her arms with both hands, looked at Wang and Li coldly and said.
"Hmph, who wants to rely on not leaving, you beg me and I won't come!" Li Shi was annoyed and angry, flicked his sleeves and turned his head to leave.
Wang opened his mouth, glanced at Lin Yunxuan fiercely, then turned his head and glanced at He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin fiercely, stomped his feet and left. The rest of the villagers saw that they were not lively, and they all dispersed.
Finally, there were only a few of them left in the courtyard of the Zhao family.
"Xuan'er, why did you buy fish from everyone? In this way, don't you all know what we make money from? Besides, it costs a lot of money for a pound? If there aren't enough fish, your uncle and I can catch fish again. He Cuifang saw that the onlookers were gone, so she dared to ask the words that were pressed in her heart.
Lin Yunxuan asked everyone to go back to the hall before she spoke: "Aunt Fang, let me ask you, how long do you think we can hide the money we make from selling fish balls and fish cakes?" “
"I guess I can hide it for a month or two." He Cuifang thought for a moment and said hesitantly.
"And what about a month or two from now?" Lin Yunxuan continued to ask.
"Uhh
"Aunt Fang, we can't hide the money-making from the first day of the new year, and someone will know about it sooner or later. We can't stop trading because we're afraid that people will find out, right? Besides, there is a saying called "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality", which means that people are not afraid of their own earnings, but afraid that others will have more than me; Even if it is difficult to survive, as long as the people around you are the same, you will be psychologically balanced. Our family's life will definitely get better day by day, and one day we will have to build a big house or something. The people in this village see that our life is better, can they be mentally balanced? Can they not be remarkable? Only when everyone's life is doing well, they will not talk about us, on the contrary, they may be grateful to us. We buy fish from the villagers, and we can be regarded as making money with them. “
Lin Yunxuan slowly analyzed with everyone.
"Besides, we have more and more things to do now, you see, in addition to making fish balls and fish cakes, we also have to dig bamboo shoots, dry bamboo shoots, and sell lo-mei, and there should be other businesses to do in the future. If a person only has two hands and does everything by himself, can we be busy? Good steel should be used on the blade, we only need to grasp the key things in our hands, such as catching fish, which is more labor-intensive, can be handed over to others to do. ”
Xuan'er was right. You, rest assured, Xuan'er is more thoughtful than we thought. Zhao Dalin patted He Cuifang's shoulder and comforted.
"Sister, you said we were going to build a big house in the future?" As soon as Zhao Yun'er heard the big house, she was so excited that she couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Yes, in the future, let's build a big house, the kind of big house with a garden, a thatched house, and many rooms, okay?" Lin Yunxuan said to Zhao Yun'er with a smile.
"Okay, okay, great, we're going to build a big house." Zhao Yun'er jumped and jumped happily.
"My sister is talking about building a big house in the future, not now." Zhao An poked Zhao Yun'er's head angrily and said.
"Yes, yes, build a big house in the future." Zhao Yun'er took Lin Yunxuan's hand and grinned happily, not at all unhappy because Zhao An poked her head.
He Cuifang looked at the children who were in a mess, thinking that what Lin Yunxuan said was also reasonable, and the worries in her heart dissipated, and she couldn't help but look forward to building a new house.
