Happy peasant girl

Chapter 51 Harvesting Sweet Potatoes
Mrs. Cao did not bribe Mrs. Li with gold and silver pearl hairpins, but brought her some high-quality rice noodles and cloth from time to time, and Mrs. Li took these things to her natal family, and Linren and his family did not know.

Mrs. Cao is Cao Agou's cousin, and the things that were given to Mrs. Li were actually given to her by Cao Agou.Although Cao Agou did not explicitly ask for a tofu recipe, the implied meaning between the words and the 300 taels of silver he gave Cao were enough for Cao to understand the meaning.

The truth of the matter became clear. According to the law, none of the people involved committed a capital crime. However, because of their improper transactions, the villagers of the two villages fought each other. Lu Zhiming still decided to punish them.

Therefore, Cao Agou, Cao's family and Li's family were all responsible for fifty-fifty sticks, as an example to others, and were responsible for compensating the medical expenses of all injured villagers. They also gathered people to make trouble, and each rod was responsible for twenty, so as to see the effect.

At the same time, Lin Renyi offered to hand over the tofu recipe to the imperial court. Since it has been known by outsiders, the so-called secret recipe is no longer a secret. Instead of letting the people of Caojia Village do evil tricks again, it is better to break the law first. road.

Lin Renyi's move had to be said to be prescient. Originally, Cao Jiawang planned to hand over the tofu recipe to the court if outsiders knew that members of his Cao clan had stolen the tofu recipe, so as to gain a good reputation.Unfortunately, this path is no longer available.

Lu Zhiming didn't notice a tofu recipe. In fact, Lin Qingxi once told him that making tofu is a very simple thing, but because no one has made it before, it seems mysterious That's all.And Lu Zhiming didn't want to cut off the Lin clan's wealth, so he didn't ask for the tofu recipe before.

Now, Lin Renyi proposed it on his own initiative, and Lu Zhiming agreed after thinking about it. At present, this approach is the best choice for the Lin clan.

That night, most of the villagers in Linjia Village gathered at the ancestral hall in the village, and even many children went there.Lin Qingxi had no interest in this, she stayed at home with Lin Qinghao to take care of Lin Nian Yu and Lin Nian Shui, and the other family members went to the ancestral hall.

Lin Nianyu and Lin Nianshui behaved very well, playing on the bed without crying or fussing, Lin Qingmu usually made small toys out of wood for them, Lin Qinghao half lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries, Lin Qingxi sat on the bed On the stool next to him, he rested his chin on his hands and propped himself on his lap in a daze.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Lin Qinghao's face was already a little swollen, and he didn't feel as much pain as he did at the beginning when he spoke.

"Thinking nonsense!" Lin Qingxi didn't know where her thoughts went, she thought about what happened today, about the delayed harvest of sweet potatoes, and about tofu.

"Sister, I'm your brother!" Lin Qinghao seldom spoke intimately with Lin Qingxi. He loved Lin Qingxi very much, but most of the time he didn't know how to show his love.

"Fourth brother, what do you want to say?" In Lin Qingxi's eyes, Lin Qinghao is the most industrious, docile and hard-working person among the six brothers, and like Lin Qingyun, he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, let alone Good at expressing your emotions and feelings, you just know how to work hard.

"Sister, you are still young, so you shouldn't think too much. There are family members and older brothers who will help you in everything. The fourth brother doesn't know much, but no matter when, the fourth brother will be like the mountains of this green lake." , is worthy of your dependence!" In the past year, Lin Qinghao has seen and remembered everything Lin Qingxi has done for his family in the past year, and what he can do for Lin Qingxi and his family is to work hard.

Lin Qingxi didn't expect Lin Qinghao to say such words, the plain words were a brother's most sincere love and protection for his sister, so many years later, whenever he remembered Lin Qinghao once said to himself Lin Qingxi was still deeply moved when he said these words.

"Fourth brother, thank you!" Lin Qingxi's eye circles were a little red.

"Silly girl, thank you for what you said, I'm your brother!" Lin Qinghao felt embarrassed again after saying those words, and his face turned red.

While the siblings were talking, Lin Liu'an and Lin Qixi quietly appeared at Old Lin's house in the dark, and whispered outside the door: "Girl, we're coming in!"

Lin Qingxi didn't like them calling themselves "slave" or "servant", and didn't like calling her "master" or "miss", so she let them call herself "girl". Everyone calls them brothers and sisters.

Seeing that they had something to talk about, Lin Qinghao asked Lin Qingxi to go to the next room, and he stayed to take care of Lin Nian Yu and Lin Nian Shui.

After changing the room, Lin Qingxi asked Lin Liu'an and Lin Qixi: "Why did you appear at the scene of the fight between the two villages today?"

"Returning to the girl, as soon as we heard that people from Caojia Village came to Jiacun to make trouble, we hurried over here. We didn't think about doing anything at first, but we found that Cao Agou was very vicious and secretly brought a sharp knife with him. I'm afraid They hurt the villagers, so during the scuffle, Qixi and I snatched their sharp blades, but at that time, they didn't know why the sharp blades in their hands disappeared!" Lin Liu'an and Lin Qixi They are all people with martial arts background, and their martial arts are not bad. Dealing with people like Cao Agou is a piece of cake.

Lin Qingxi didn't expect Cao Agou to be so vicious, and he wanted to kill him, so he must be careful in the future.

"Liu'an, Qixi, you two have some skills. If Cao Agou continues to do bad things and doesn't show mercy, a scum like this should be severely punished. Also, from today onwards, you must strengthen your defenses. If you find someone plotting something wrong , we must deal with it in a timely manner. In addition, send someone to keep an eye on the people in Caojia Village." If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will worry about it. This incident is also a good thing for the people of Linjia Village. They will strengthen their defenses in the future.

As the saying goes: "If you suffer, you will gain wisdom." Only when the people in Linjia Village unite and gain insight, can she help them better, and then let them help herself in turn.

If there are often some people in the village who eat inside and outside, let alone she can't do her own things and plant her own fields with peace of mind, even the Lin clan will not have any great prospects in the future.

From the second day after the incident, Linqingxi noticed that the atmosphere in Linjia Village was quite different from the past. It seemed that overnight, the villagers became more united, and there was a mighty and serious momentum of "uniting against the enemy". .

After the truth of the incident was found out, both the Cao family and the Li family who had received [-] boards were dismissed and returned home. This also allowed the women in the village to see the fate of betraying the clan.

Being divorced by her husband's family in this day and age, it is shameless to show up again. Even if she returns to her natal family, she will be stabbed in the back. Even a crueler natal family will never let the divorced daughter enter the house again and let her live on her own off.
