After dressing as a widow

After dinner, Lin Zhen asked Father Lin and Father Lin to go to sleep, leaving Lin Xiaoyao to help him pack up. He pointed to the small wooden cabin next to the two rooms and said to Gu Shuanzi: "The house is narrow, the one Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin lived in the house with their aunts. In this room lived your grandfather and Granny Lin, and me and your fourth uncle and their brothers and girls lived in the middle. This is the outside, so you may want to live there."

"That's the small wooden house that your Uncle Lin built after I came here. Apart from piles of sundries, there's nothing in it on weekdays."

The cabin was newly built this year, and the wood used is also new. It looks better than the old house that the Lin family lived in for decades, but it is a bit narrow.

Gu Shuanzi looked at the cabin and nodded.

With his approval, Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao went to tidy up, sorted out the sundries inside, piled up some that could fit, and put those that couldn't fit into the dining area, and then used the remaining planks of the wooden house to build I made a bed and put on the new quilt and cotton batting made this year.

Lin Xiaoyao patted the soft bed and sat on it for a while: "It's so nice here, I want to live here..."

"Brother, I'm not saying that it's not good to sleep with you, but—"

"I know, you are a big kid, and you want to have your own place." Lin Zhen put the buckwheat shell pillow with the pillowcase on the bedside, "After this year, see what father and father think , do you want to expand the house?"

Lin Xiaoyao's face was full of joy when she mentioned that she might have her own room in the future.

But soon, the joy on his face subsided a lot, looked at Gu Shuanzi who was sitting in the room over there, and whispered: "Brother, the ginseng is not cheap, you originally planned to go to town after the new year." I went to the shop to buy it, and there must not be enough money now."

Following Lin Zhen to do business in the town for a year, Lin Xiaoyao gained a lot of knowledge, knowing that the price of the package of ginseng slices must not be low.

And Lin Zhen just told him a few days ago that the money in his hand is almost enough, and he can just buy a small shop on Zhazi Street.

Lin Zhen has even visited the shop, and is waiting to sign a contract with the owner after the Chinese New Year.

"I'll go to the town in two days and ask the owner if I can wait a few months before selling. The shop on the left and right is small in size. Except for us, there is probably no one who does business will ask." Take it down, Lin Zhen has long been optimistic about it.

Lin Xiaoyao said: "That's the only way to go."

The two brothers are not lacking in strength, and they tidy up the house in a short time.

Lin Zhen hugged Gu Shuanzi to the bed in the cabin, and said to him, "Sleep, please wake up tomorrow, let's go to the town to find Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma."

Gu Shuanzi sat on the bed, quietly grabbing the soft quilt with his hands, looked up at Lin Zhen, opened his mouth slightly but couldn't say anything.

He has seen what Lin Zhen has done for him in the past few days, no matter how guarded he is, he is a bit soft, but he really can't call him Father Lin Zhen.

After a while, he nodded slightly.

Lin Zhen couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, waited for Gu Shuanzi to lie down, and left with the oil lamp in his hand.

The next day, Lin Zhen took a late sleep, and didn't get up until almost noon, rubbing his sore shoulders and waist. When he went out, he saw the Lin family by the fire pit. The atmosphere was a little weird.

He looked at Gu Shuanzi who was sitting next to Apa Lin, and knew the source of the weird atmosphere. He fetched water to wash his face and hands, and brushed his teeth with the toothbrush and toothbrush he had bought for himself.

Mrs. Lin also has children, but Gu Shuanzi is different from them, which made her afraid to follow suit and dare not do other things. When she saw Lin Zhen brushing her teeth, she stood up like a nail on her buttocks and said, "Brother Zhen , do you eat noodles or buns?"

Ever since I got income from helping Lin Zhen, the food at home has been getting better every day. In the morning, there are noodles, steamed buns, and occasionally some cat ears and boiled eggs.

After a year, the complexion of the family members has turned rosy, and the originally thin iron egg has become chubby. It is very cute to hug and play in the village.

After all, in this year, there is no family that is not short of food. Both adults and children are a little yellow and thin. What does it mean for a child to be fat? It means that the family is living well and has no shortage of food!

Lin Zhen replied to Mrs. Lin: "Cook me a bowl of noodles, just fry two eggs."

"Sister-in-law, what did you have for breakfast?"

When Mrs. Lin heard that he wanted to eat noodles and fried eggs, she boiled water and got eggs without saying a word: "We also eat noodles, and the oil residue is delicious."

"There are a lot of eggs, sister-in-law, you can fry one for each of the younger ones." Recently, Lin Zhen began to think about other foods to sell. First, he thought of various small cakes in modern times, which are not only good in appearance, but also good looking Fortunately, I collected about [-] or [-] eggs in the village. If I hadn't gone to Gu Shuanzi, the experiment would have started.

He himself will not treat himself badly, he can eat the eggs if he wants to, and they are not welcome even if they are also called Apa Lin.

But the Lin family is not the kind who is greedy for petty gain. Unless Lin Zhen does it and stares at them, they will never move a single one.

It was Lin Zhen and Lin Adie who talked about it several times before they got it for a few small meals.

Mrs. Lin nodded: "Okay, one for each person."

After Lin Zhen washed his face and brushed his teeth, he picked up a bowl that was about the size of his own face, and put the freshly cooked noodles into his mouth.

Because I was willing to give up salt and oil, this bowl of noodles is delicious, with green cabbage stalks and two fried eggs, every bite is a treat.

Xingxiang, Chunxiang, Huaixiang, and Lin Zhuzi were also holding bowls and eating fried eggs, all of them looked like little cats with oily faces.

Except for Gu Shuanzi, whose spleen and stomach are hurt badly, so he can't eat too greasy food to prevent diarrhea.

In the house, Lin Zhenzhen was eating well, and the fence was suddenly clattered: "Is the real brother at home?"

Lin Zhenma slipped away, stood up like the wind, and went out with a bowl in his hand. When he saw that it was the neighbor Aunt Zhang and a young man behind him, his heart moved.

Seeing Lin Zhen eating, Aunt Zhang said, "This young man came to our village to look for you, and he happened to ask me. I'll bring him here."

Lin Zhen had already seen this young man, he was exactly the eyeliner he was looking for in Tianwan Village, he smiled and said to Aunt Zhang: "Thank you Auntie, come in and sit down and eat something, there is still cooked noodles in the pot .”

Aunt Zhang shook her hand: "No, no, the rice is still steaming on the stove at the head of the house."

"It's a real brother," Aunt Zhang said with a flattering expression on her face, "When will your family compost this year? I'll ask my family to come and help you. By the way, I'll learn from you, and I'll collect more food next year."

Lin Zhen said: "We can pile it up when the weather is better, otherwise the mud will have too much moisture and it will be troublesome to sieve."

He said to Aunt Zhang: "We are all from the same village, and we have already agreed that no matter who comes to learn, we will have the same teaching. Auntie, you don't have to be so polite."

"It's not polite, it's not polite, brother, you are the great benefactor of our village. If it weren't for the composting method you mentioned, our expectations would not be so great. There are more than 300 catties of grain per mu, if we didn't see it with our own eyes. I can't believe it."

The young man who came to report to Lin Zhen felt that he must have heard it wrong, what about compost, what about more than 300 catties of grain per mu of land.

This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

The young man's head was full of stars, and he didn't even know when Aunt Zhang who brought him left. It was Lin Zhen who yelled several times in a row before recovering, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Lin, what kind of god is that compost?" Can spells really collect that much food?!"

Lin Zhen, who had already experienced the enthusiasm of the villagers for composting, knew that he was anxious, so he pointed to the room and said, "Come in and talk."

"..." The young man was in a hurry, scratching his head and scratching his head, but the method was at Lin Zhen's place, no matter how anxious he was, he could only obediently follow Lin Zhen in.

Lin Zhensan finished eating the noodles and wiped his mouth: "Is there any news about Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma?"

Gu Shuanzi, who was sitting silently on the chair, raised his head abruptly and stared at the young man.

The young man recognized him immediately. Isn't this the nephew of Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma? He took it with him wherever he went at that time. He wore high-quality cotton cloth and ate sweet cakes that were only found in the town. , How come here, and so thin.

The young man was frightened by Gu Shuanzi's eyes, and his heart trembled, and he said to Lin Zhen: "I only found out this morning, and their family didn't know when they returned to the village last night. I came here right now. Cleaning up the house inside and out, as if I heard them say they were looking for something."

"I was busy looking for you, Lin Geer, and I didn't hear the truth."

As soon as he said that Lin Zhen knew about it, the couple knew that Gu Shuanzi was not there, so they went back to the village from the town to find Gu Shuanzi. If they couldn't find him, they would probably go to Datianzi Village.

Lin Zhen said to the young man, "Please tell me the news." He took out the promised one hundred coins, "This is what I promised you at the beginning, take it."

The distance from Tianwan Village to Liyu Village is not far, but young men are willing to make another ten trips for a hundred coins.

He took the money and looked at Lin Zhen hesitantly: "Brother Lin, I don't know how much money it will cost to learn the composting that sister-in-law just said..."

Lin Zhen knew that he would definitely ask, and said: "I don't want money, but if someone in your village wants to use this method, just come and learn, but there are some things I want to say first. Although this compost is good, it can't compete with God alone. , if the harvest is bad because of the weather, you can't blame me."

"Definitely, definitely, I definitely can't blame you!" The farmer's family would not make fun of the grain, and seeing Aunt Zhang's appearance, the young man already believed that this method must be feasible.

He said, "Then I'll go back and tell the people in the village right away!"

"Wait," Lin Zhen called the impatient young man, "I'm going to your village too, let's go all the way."

The night is long and the dream is full, since the couple are here, let's settle the matter sooner.

Lin Zhen turned his head to look at Lin's father, Lin's father, and Lin's eldest brother, Lin's second brother: "Brother and second brother, you go to Tianwan Village with me, Shuanzi is my son and your nephew, he should be given He asked for an explanation."

Eldest Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin already knew [-]% to [-]% of Gu Shuanzi's situation from Aunt Lin, so he naturally agreed: "Come on, I want to see if Zhou Tao's conscience has been eaten by a dog."

As soon as Brother Lin finished speaking, Second Brother Lin continued: "We don't feel at ease if you and Shuanzi go together. If Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma refused to admit it to death, they might not win the fight."

Lin Zhen felt a sense of security when he saw Big Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin, who were tall and burly, half a head taller than ordinary people.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "We're not here to fight, we're here to reason."

"Brother, you carry the embolism on your back. You can switch with your second brother on the way. Let's go now."

Brother Lin immediately carried Gu Shuanzi into the pannier, "Let's go."

Then as soon as he turned his head, he saw that his younger brother, who said to be reasonable and did not fight, picked up the ax in the corner and weighed it in his hand.

Brother Lin was a little confused, and asked Lin Zhen: "Zhen'er, what are you doing, didn't you say..."

Lin Zhen pinned the ax to his back waist: "Use it to shake the field."

Brother Lin, Brother Lin, you look at me and I look at you, I think it seems that the two of them don't want to go.

-

The big men hurried on their way, and arrived at Tianwan Village at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

There are only so few people in the village, and when I saw the young man bringing in a few outsiders, I couldn't help but ask, "Xiaochang, is this your relative?"

The young man Xiaochang said: "No, this is Brother Lin from Liyu Village, and the two next to him are Brother Lin's elder brothers. They have something to do with Zhou Tao."

When the questioner heard that it was actually related to Zhou Tao's family, his smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he puffed up his eyes and said, "Who are they going to harm again?"

"Xiaochang, you can't learn from Zhou Tao's family. The family is not a joke, and they are not afraid of thunder and thunder."

"No, ma'am, they came to settle accounts with Zhou Tao's family."

"Settling the score," the aunt looked at Lin Zhen, "You were also cheated by Zhou Tao's family?"

"His family owes me a lot of silver, and I'm here to ask for it."

Auntie saw the tall and strong figures of Eldest Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin, she was happy in her heart, she slammed the door and said to Lin Zhen, "I will guide you!"

"You have to treat him well! Especially the woman in his family, she doesn't care how bad her two boys are because she has money, she not only kills the little lady, but also kills the little lady and her mother, and vice versa It is said that the little lady has a wicked heart."

"Poor thing, who doesn't know that little lady in our village, she is the one who understands etiquette the most. oh."

As they talked, they arrived next to Zhou Tao's house. Lin Zhen saw at a glance a [-]- or [-]-year-old boy in the yard in front of the blue-brick house, who was hitting a bird's nest on a tree with a slingshot. He punched holes in the tight bird's nest, and the chicks that hadn't grown their feathers screamed in it, and the mother bird fluttered her wings in fear and kept flying around the bird's nest.

And Ma Shi, who had met Lin Zhen twice, was wearing a bright red jacket, a blue skirt, and a thick white powder on his face, and he was stuffing things into his sleeves.

"Play and play, you know how to play in a day, if you didn't look good, how could your father and I make this trip, and why don't you let me go in and change clothes!"

"Mother," Juvenile Jian finally shot down a bird, heard the sound of the chick falling to the ground, and pulled Ma Shi's sleeve coquettishly, "Then how can you blame me, I didn't hear him say that he would take us to fetch silver Did you believe what he said, besides, if you were not all busy grabbing bank notes, he wouldn't have run so fast."

"You son of a bitch has learned to talk back!" Gu Shuanzi ran away, and Ma Shi was upset, and he didn't have much patience with his doting son, so he grabbed his shoulder and slapped him a few times.

However, this son has long been spoiled by her and has the temper of the boss and my second child. He was even more unconvinced when he was beaten, and even shook her hand and roared with a tiger's face.

Lin Zhen came out and greeted Mrs. Ma: "Long time no see, his aunt, I didn't expect you to change your appearance. If you hadn't asked people in your village, they wouldn't know it was you."

When Madam Ma saw that it was Lin Zhen, her heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Lin Zhen and Eldest Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin, and forced a smile on her face: "So it's Shuanzi's mother, come in and sit down."

"Why do you want to come here?"

From the corner of Lin Zhen's eyes, he glanced at the pannier on Lin's second brother's back, and realized that Mrs. Ma hadn't noticed that Gu Shuanzi was here, so he didn't say anything. Did you come to see him?"

"Where is Shuanzi, why didn't you see him, where did you go out to play?" Lin Zhen was not polite at all, and looked around when he entered the room, as if he was really beckoning Shuanzi.

Ma Shi, who didn't know where Gu Shuanzi had gone, could really find Gu Shuanzi, turned his eyes and said, "Father Shuanzi, don't you know how difficult that child Shuanzi is? Mischievous and troublesome, I don’t know where I got into the habit of sneaking recently, I ran out after saying a few words, and I haven’t come back yet.”

As soon as Mrs. Ma finished speaking, Zhou Tao, who had gone to the village, came back. When he saw Lin Zhen, his shoulders shrank, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Ma Shi hurriedly pulled him over and said, "Shuan Zi's father came to see Shuan Zi, but he doesn't know where that kid Shuan Zi went."

"It's all my fault. If I had kept Shuan Zi in good hands and not told him to steal things from the village, he wouldn't have run out."

"Well, did you find the embolus?"

While talking, Ma Shi quietly pinched her husband Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao's heart was beating very fast at first, but when she mentioned it, he finally came back to his senses, and stammered, "No, I didn't find it. I asked several people and they said they didn't see it. I don't know where he went..."

His voice trailed off, until he bowed his head completely.

Ma Shi gave him a hard look in the dark, and told him to go in and get a chair out.

Zhou Tao wished to be as far away from Lin Zhen as possible, so he entered the room with his head sullen.

He actually went to his parents just now, and left the village to go to the town. Mrs. Ma said that the rented house in the town was too small to accommodate so many people, so he let his parents continue to live in the village.

As soon as he went to the two old ones, he would ask how Gu Shuanzi was doing. Now Zhou Tao is annoyed when people mention Gu Shuanzi, it’s like stabbing him with a thorn, reminding him all the time what he did, What did Marsh do.

Every time at this time, he couldn't help thinking that Gu Shuanzi was his sister's son and also a member of the Zhou family, just like what Ma said, the money he brought naturally also belonged to the Zhou family.

If Gu Shuanzi hadn't wanted to take over the money, Ma Shi would not have treated him like that.

Yes, it must be so, yes.

Zhou Tao thought over and over again, trying to cover up the thoughts that popped up below him.

Lin Zhen stopped him: "Don't bother to move any chairs, I just came to see Shuanzi, I didn't expect him to steal people's things when he came here."

Mrs. Ma wanted to send Lin Zhen away immediately, and said, "Shuan Zi, father, look, this Shuan Zi is not here, why don't you go back first, and when Shuan Zi comes back, I will take him to see you."

"No hurry." Lin Zhen glanced at the newly built green brick and tile house in his spare time, and looked at Mrs. Ma and Zhou Tao with a half-smile, "I came to you a few days ago, and I heard from people in your village that Your whole family has gone to the town, if it wasn't for a good time today, you probably wouldn't even be able to see a single person."

"It seems that his uncle and aunt have made a lot of money in the town, and even built blue brick houses."

"Hey, this..." Mrs. Ma's heart skipped a beat. No one knows better than her how this tile-roofed house was built. Although the foundation is her own house, it is only rebuilt on the basis of an old house, but the roof is paved. Every tile was bought with the money she dug out from Gu Shuanzi.

And these days in the town, she has seen Lin Zhen many times in the dark, and fortunately she was really bright in the dark forest, so Lin Zhen didn't find her.

She felt that Lin Zhen was such an eyesore, Gu Shuanzi obviously belonged to her Zhou family, why did she come here to see.

Ma Shi twitched the corners of his mouth: "Look at the shelf, but it's actually similar to the old house before. It can't compare to Shuan Zi's father's big tile house."

"Father Shuanzi lives here every day, so he should be very comfortable, he is really blessed."

Suddenly, before Mrs. Ma finished speaking, her youngest son rushed out, spit at Lin Zhen and Brother Lin, and jumped up and down: "That's not Shuanzi's house, that's My house! My mother said that I will move into a new house in a few days!"

!!!

Ma Shi's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he slapped the bastard on the face: "What nonsense are you talking about, there is no place for you children to interrupt what adults are talking, go away!"

She looked at Lin Zhen embarrassingly: "This child has a fever, his head is burning and confused, and he is talking nonsense."

Lin Zhen looked at Ma Shi with an indifferent expression on his smiling face just now: "Confused?"

"Mr. Ma, do you think that I don't know what you did in this village? Suddenly, you became a rich man. You put on makeup, eat hot food, drink hot food, and renovate the house."

"I'm all in front of my eyes, how dare you say that Shuan Zi sneaked out and ran out because of the height of the sky and the emperor's distance. Does no one know what you are doing?"

"Father Shuanzi, what are you talking about? I earned what I ate and drank with my own hands. Who dares to say no?" Ma Shi's chest rose and fell violently, as if he was really angry, "Shuanzi That kid likes to cause trouble, no one in Datianzi Village knows how he got it on me."

Lin Zhen looked at her coldly, and stretched out his hand to take Gu Shuanzi out of the back basket: "His aunt, take a good look, is this the Gu Shuanzi you mentioned who stole and ran away?"

"..."

Ma Shi's eyes widened instantly, and his fingers trembled: "You, you..."

"Mr. Ma, when his father passed away, you and Zhou Tao went to offer condolences. They wanted Shuanzi to be brought to your house several times, saying that there were children of his age at your house who could play together, and that his grandparents were all there. , will love him very much."

"That's why I promised you to let Shuanzi come back with you, and I promised to give you four taels of silver for taking care of him a year, but now look at what this child is like!"

Zhou Tao's family had long been hated by everyone in the village. When Lin Zhen and the others came over, many people were watching from a distance.

Now when they heard that Gu Shuanzi would pay four taels of silver for staying at Zhou Tao's house for a year, everyone exploded.

"Four taels of silver! My dear, this is not a doll, it's a piece of gold."

"No wonder someone with a headache took him to the town to take care of the money for a year. If the person is gone, the money will be gone."

"However, Zhou Tao's family didn't make their fortune with this little money, did they? I heard that the couple took care of the funeral for that rich distant relative, and all the wealth of that distant relative's family was given to them."

These people don't think it's a big deal when they watch the excitement, and they speak in a loud voice. Lin Zhen also heard what those people said that Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma took care of some relative's funeral and got that relative's wealth.

He thought that Zhou Tao and Ma Shi would be shameless, but he didn't expect to be so shameless: "Did you tell other people that?"

"Ma Shi, I know how the money on your body came from. Except for the four taels of silver that I gave you, you took all the 13 taels of silver that Shuanzi kept on his body. You touch your face, is it thick?" ah."

Ma Shi's face twitched, and he lowered his head and said in a small voice: "Listen to me, Shuanzi's father, it's not what you think, Shuanzi is my own nephew, how could I treat him badly."

As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes: "If you don't believe me, ask those people if Shuanzi eats well and drinks a lot at my house. Whenever he goes to town, he doesn't buy this or that for him."

"Although I got the four taels of silver, most of it was spent on him."

"Later he fell ill and smashed all the pots, pans, and bowls in the house. I spent a couple of dollars just buying things, and I had no money."

Ma Shi was still a little weak at the beginning, but he straightened his waist as he spoke.

It's not like she said, just spending a lot of money on Gu Shuanzi, how can she take advantage of it.

Seeing his posture of not shedding tears when he saw the coffin, Lin Zhen took Gu Shuanzi in his arms to the young man who told him the news, pulled out his back and rushed towards the axe.

Ma Shi and Zhou Tao screamed in fright, Brother Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried up to pull people away.

Oh my god, when did their little brother become such a tiger? It's frightening to death.

"Bang——" Lin Zhen slashed on the gate with an axe, and with a few thuds, a gap was made, and a few more thumps cut the door into several large pieces.

Mrs. Ma sat down on the ground, crying: "Lin Zhen, do you still have the law? This is my house, it belongs to me!"

Lin Zhen pursed his lips: "Didn't you say that Shuanzi was sick and smashed your pots and pans? The leopard raised by a tiger, my father must also be sick. If you have the ability, you can treat it."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Zhen entered the room, split the table in half with a few axes, then the water tank, the cabinet...

Zhou Tao, who was huddled in the room, had been frightened for a long time, and shrank in the corner of the wall, not daring to speak.

Gu Shuanzi, who was hugged by a young man outside, looked at the stepfather who was swinging an ax around, and his baishengsheng face was blushing due to the force, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Suddenly, just when Lin Zhen was about to hit the ground and was about to withdraw his troops, two old men squeezed in from the crowd, pointed at Ma Shi on the ground and gritted their teeth: "You, you, look at what you have done! .”

Looking at Gu Shuanzi again, Gu Shuanzi looked away coldly, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to them.

The two elders could only walk over tremblingly, and shouted at Lin Zhen who was holding the axe: "Brother Lin, even if there is something wrong with my son and daughter-in-law, you should put out your fire, and this matter will be settled." Forget it, we are relatives, things go too far and it won't end well."

Lin Zhen, who was sweating all over, was tired. He slammed the ax on the pillar and looked at them: "Who are you?"

"My embolus is his grandfather," the old man pointed to the old woman next to him, "this is his grandmother."

"I know that Mrs. Ma has treated Shuanzi badly, but after all, they are blood relatives. In the future, I will not see you when I look down, so there is no need to do that."

"It turned out to be Shuanzi's grandparents. I thought they were from the village. Otherwise, why would Ma and Zhou Tao take Gu's money and not give Shuanzi a meal for three to five days? A single piece of clothing can be a trivial matter if you are beaten or kicked." It may be because he has seen Gu Shuanzi before, but Lin Zhen can't bear Gu Shuanzi's current appearance. Uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. Out, one can see, and the maggots in a pit are not good or bad.

If the two of them really cared about Gu Shuanzi, even if Ma Shi couldn't be persuaded, they would still be able to protect him. Why did Gu Shuanzi almost die in front of Gu Da's grave, and his feet were almost frozen.

"You, you..." Zhou Tao's father didn't expect that Lin Zhen would not give him any face as an old man, and he almost lost his breath.

Lin Zhendao: "Since you two old people didn't care about Shuanzi at the beginning, you shouldn't care about whether I seek justice for Shuanzi now. It's not a pleasure to continue to be your idler."

Zhou Tao's father turned pale with anger, but he dared not turn around to look at Shuanzi's grandson.

What Ma and Zhou Tao did can be hidden from other people in the village, but they can't be hidden from them who come to visit from time to time. At first, the two old people disapproved of their treatment of Gu Shuanzi. After all, they are their daughters. The only blood left behind should be brought up well so as not to disappoint her daughter's spirit in heaven.

But maybe the two grandsons who came to Ma's family said that Gu Shuanzi bullied them and robbed them of food, and that Gu Shuanzi would rather keep the money in his hands than give them Zhou's flowers. He no longer has that kind of heart for Gu Shuanzi.

Anyway, these two grandchildren were the ones they grew up with since they were young, and Gu Shuanzi hadn't seen each other for two or three years because of his mother's early death, so they were naturally estranged.

Later, Gu Shuanzi became insane, and no one could hold him back when he got sick, and the two elders even ranked him at the bottom.

What can a madman do?

So be it.

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhen kicked lightly on his feet and kicked away the stool next to him. He was clearly such a slender and delicate person. At this moment, he seemed to be riding on a majestic horse, and there seemed to be a raging flame burning behind him.

Zhou Tao's mother knew she was right and didn't speak up. Although his father also knew that the Zhou family had made a mistake, in his opinion, Gu Shuanzi was still fine, so why couldn't he just let things go.

He knocked on the ground with his crutch, and said to Lin Zhen: "Brother Lin, I know you were angry when you came here, and you must let it go."

"But you, a brother from another village, came to our Tianwan Village with great fanfare. After all, you are too ostentatious. How will Shuanzi get along with his uncle and aunt in the future?"

"Do you think this will work? I'll let Ma Shi and Zhou Tao admit your mistake to you, and let's forget about it."

Mrs. Ma didn't know why she was going crazy, and when she heard his words, she immediately got up and said loudly: "Father, we are from Tianwan Village, why should we ask someone from another village to ride on the head? From now on, people from our village will call you daughter-in-law." Marrying a daughter, once you hear that she is so easy to knead, don't you look down on—"

Suddenly there was a voice from the crowd.

"The village chief is here!"

"The patriarch and elder are here too!"

Lin Zhen straightened his body, went out and saluted the village head with his hands clasped together.

The village chiefs of these villages are mostly jointly elected by the village, and they are not required to be literate or have any official status. Anyway, there are Lizheng, the mayor and the county magistrate at the top.

Their role is only to convey some local government orders and give the villagers a place to find.

The village head glanced at Lin Zhen, then at the messy Zhou Tao's house, looked at Lin Zhen and said, "I already knew about the matter between you and the Zhou family on the way. That's right."

"But the younger generation, what Zhou Laosan said just now is right. Wherever a person goes, he will recognize the etiquette of that place. I am the village head of Tianwan Village, so I can't let Tianwan Village suffer. According to what he said, just admit your mistake and go.”

People are in different positions, and they want different things. Lin Zhen can understand what the village chief said.

In this place where the reputation of the ethnic group can sometimes outweigh human lives, let alone one Lin Zhen, even ten Lin Zhens and a hundred Lin Zhens may have to bow their heads.

If it wasn't for his sudden arrival, the people in the village would be tired of Zhou Tao's house, and he wouldn't even be able to destroy Zhou Tao's house.

Lin Zhen smiled: "Village Chief, they don't need to apologize to me, they are not related to me, and if it wasn't for an embolus, they might not have had much contact with each other in this life."

"As for apologizing to Shuanzi," Lin Zhen called to Gu Shuanzi, who was being hugged by the young man, "They apologize to you, do you want it?"

Gu Shuanzi pursed his lips, and the disgust on his face couldn't be more obvious. If it wasn't for his inconvenient feet, he might have joined the ranks of smashing things.

Lin Zhen said to the village head: "Look, the child is not willing either."

"Actually, it's easy to understand. If I beat Zhou Tao and his wife half to death, and then say sorry to him, it would look funny, wouldn't it?"

The village head looked at Lin Zhen with squinted eyes: "Smart teeth."

Lin Zhen rolled his eyes: "I can't help it, it took up a word of reason."

The two of you come and go, seeing that the bar is on the line.

The clan elders who came with the village chiefs couldn't get used to Lin Zhen being so ostentatious, and the dislike in his eyes almost turned into substance.

Xiaochang, who was hugging Gu Shuanzi, was very anxious. Others didn't know him, but he knew that Lin Zhen had a way to get a good harvest. What if Lin Zhen refused to teach the people in his village because of Zhou Tao's family matter!

He gritted his teeth, went up with Gu Shuanzi in his arms, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, this brother of the Lin family is amazing. Last year, he taught his family to use a method of composting, and harvested three hundred catties of grain per mu. !"

"I, I still want him to teach people in our village."

So you must not offend people to death.

"What! One mu of land is three hundred catties!" The village head raised his beard, looked at Lin Zhen with bright eyes, and grabbed Xiaochang's shoulder, "You must be dreaming. How can the land produce three hundred catties of grain?"

"It's true. I went to Liyu Village and asked many people. They all said that they saw the Lin family harvest more than 40 sacks of grain on [-] mu of land. They also said that every bag was bulging, and there was no adulteration." Hearing so many people talking about it, Xiaochang couldn't be so excited.

There are more than 40 pockets of [-] mu of land, which is really a bumper harvest.

How could the village chief still care about Zhou Tao's family's messy affairs at this moment? He only wanted to find a way to produce [-] catties per mu, so he hurriedly asked Lin Zhen: "Brother Lin, this method is really amazing, just say it now, How to teach the people in our village."

Everything was in Lin Zhen's calculations, and he said: "The method of fertilizing the field is indeed true, and the yield of three hundred catties per mu is also true, but the village chief, you see, the matter between me and Zhou Tao's family is not over yet. I don’t have the heart to teach people.”

The head of Tianwan Village knew as soon as he heard his words that Lin Zhen was exchanging with himself.

He is in a hurry, it is not far from the end of the year now, and he doesn't know what will be used for the composting method, how much time will be wasted, and how much food will be lost in his village if he can't compost after a delay.

Thinking about it this way, the look at Zhou Tao's family is not good anymore, and I feel that they are really in the way.

He said to Lin Zhen: "You can deal with it as you want. If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. There is only one thing. Don't kill people, it won't end well."

Lin Zhen was satisfied, "Don't worry, village chief, I know, my family will compost in seven or eight days, and any family in Tianwan Village who wants to come and learn will come."

"it is good."

The village head and clan elders were very happy with the result, each and every one of them wandered in the joy of yielding [-] catties per mu in the coming year. You called me and I called you to leave, leaving behind the villagers who watched the fun
