Chapter 287 Taking advantage of the situation
The surname Sun was originally a big surname in the village. The village chief had three sons, all of them were filial and spoke with their backs held high.

In the past two years, things have been even more amazing. He contracted a hill in the village, and his eldest son and second son both started chicken farms.

The eldest son and the eldest daughter started working in the city last year, and this year the eldest daughter married a city man.

Three turns and one ring, a 600 yuan betrothal gift, and a car for marriage.

Their family has all the things that would make people proud.

Thinking of this, Mother Lin couldn't help but blame her second daughter again.

The reason their family was able to contract the hilltop to build a chicken farm was because the eldest son and the eldest daughter worked in the Qin family’s steamed bun shop, right?

If there are no two people in the family working in the city, how can we afford the contract fee?

And the fact that Sun Lanlan was able to marry a city dweller was also thanks to the second son of their family.

It was for this reason that Lin's mother thought of asking the village chief to help mediate.

Since I've taken such a big advantage of their family, I'm sure they won't refuse if I ask them to help me with such a small task.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's wife was cooking in the yard. Mother Lin smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you cooking so early?"

The village head's wife smiled and stood up when she saw someone coming. "My sister-in-law is here. I have nothing to do, so I'll cook for everyone. Bingwen and Bingshan are busy with the chicken farm these days. I can't help with other things, but I can still do laundry and cooking. There are so many people eating at home, so we have to prepare things early."

"Didn't you split up? Why are you still eating together?"

Lin's mother took a bench and sat aside, asking in surprise.

The village head's wife smiled and said, "We did split up, but the children were too busy. The chicken farm has thousands of chickens, and they are so busy that they don't have time to eat. As elders, how can we bear to just watch? Fortunately, Bingwen and Bingshan's wives are sensible. Seeing how hard I work to cook for the whole family, they feel embarrassed to just eat. In addition to giving me food, each family gives me 20 yuan a month. Oh, you see, we have food, and there are all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden at home, and each family gives me 20 yuan. How can I spend it? Otherwise, your eldest brother would say that I earn 40 yuan a month, which is equivalent to a formal worker in the city..."

The village head's wife became happier and happier as she spoke, her eyes narrowed into slits.

Mother Lin curled her lips inwardly but didn't dare show it on her face.

Not wanting to listen to the village head's wife showing off, he changed the subject, "Brother isn't home?"

"Yes, I'm in the room. I'll call you."

Most of the people who came to their house were looking for the village chief. The village chief's wife came into the house and called people out.

The village chief had already seen Lin's mother coming home, but he pretended not to see her until she called him.

When he was called out, he took a leisurely puff of cigarette with a pipe in his hand and asked directly, "What do you want from me?"

Village chief Sun has been the village chief for nearly 20 years. Before the reform and opening up, he was the team leader of the village and his word was final.

With the reform and opening up, the land has been distributed to individuals, and the role of the village chief is not as great as before, but the influence of Village Chief Sun remains.

Especially the outsiders who moved into the village after the Lin family came, were not only polite to the village chief, but also a little afraid of him.

Hearing the village chief's question, Lin's mother did not dare to beat around the bush and told him the purpose of her visit.

"I don't really want the second brother to help the eldest brother with the money, but I have to take care of everything. The eldest sister is pregnant and will give birth soon. She has no idea what to do when faced with this matter. The second brother said he has enough money, so please help him to help his sister get through this difficult time first. When her sister has money, he will definitely pay her back without a penny less." The village chief said nothing. He listened to her finish her words and then tapped his pipe against his feet.

"In that case, why don't you just tell Chu Xia? I've watched Chu Xia grow up. She's been polite and sensible since she was a child. She's not the kind of person who would make trouble."

Lin's mother felt distressed and looked troubled.

"I also want to talk to her directly, but the marriage thing..."

Mother Lin sighed again, "Village head, you all know that when she was allowed to marry into the Qin family, her elder sister suffered a lot of grievances. On the wedding day, we wanted to go over to support her elder sister, but we didn't know that this would delay her wedding. Chuxia has been resentful of us for this matter. In the past year since her marriage, she has refused to go back to her parents' home during the holidays. After all, we are the elders and parents."

No one else knew about the marriage exchange. Sun Lanlan and Lin Chuxia seemed to be a good friend, so even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't. Lin's mother simply played along.

The village chief nodded and said, "You were wrong in what you did back then. If I were Chu Xia, that girl would be sad too. I can understand why she doesn't want to see you."

Mother Lin: "..."

She didn't need this kind of understanding, she wanted the village chief to help her.

Besides, she understands that dead girl, but who understands her?

Fortunately, the village chief also agreed. "I will help you with this matter, but let me be frank. What you did is not authentic no matter how you say it. The eldest family got into trouble, and you asked the second family to help clean up the mess. Chuxia is the new daughter-in-law married into the Qin family. Can she just take the money? Don't you think about what Chuxia will be like in the Qin family after taking this money? I will go over to see it tomorrow. If Chuxia is willing to help you solve this matter, it's fine. If she is not willing, don't expect me to use my status as the elder village chief to pressure her. I am not that kind of person. I understand the difficulties of the children."

The village chief already knew what was going on between Lin Chuxia and her mother's family from his third son and daughter.

In front of the Lin family, the bun shop and the food factory all belonged to the Qin family, so they didn't have to cause trouble for the girl Chu Xia.

"Yes, yes, we understand. There's nothing we can do about it," Lin's mother responded quickly.

As long as the village chief is willing to make this trip, even if she doesn't put pressure on Lin Chuxia with words, can she not give the village chief face?

Mother Lin felt relieved and left the Sun family happily.

The medical expenses are not a small amount. I can ask the village chief to help me get a few hundred yuan, so that I can have some hard-earned money.

As soon as Lin's mother left the village chief's house, the two brothers Sun Bingwen and Sun Bingshan ran back.

After entering the yard, he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and asked anxiously, "Mom, is there someone from the Lin family?"

The village head's wife looked at her son, who was sweating profusely, with a puzzled look on her face. "Yes, Jiadong's mother came over. She just left a while ago. What do you want to talk to Jiadong's mother about?"

The village chief came out of the house and was speechless when he heard what his wife said.

Who wants to find Jiadong’s mother?

Look at the two sons, their faces are red, their necks are thick, they are sweating and panting.

Did he come back from the back mountain after hearing the news?
"Seeing how little you two brothers have accomplished, come inside and talk."

Sun Bingwen and Sun Bingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their father's calm face.
