Chapter 141 Paying for a ride is a matter of course

Cuicui took Mu Yunzhao's arm and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Mu. I'll protect you in Xishui Village. I don't think she dares to do that again!"

Mu Yunzhao's eyes were red as she said, "Not really. Sister Lin is a very good person. You also know my situation at home. If my family knew that I had a conflict with Sister Lin, my parents would definitely blame me."

When Cuicui heard this, she hated Lin Zhiyi even more.

Even though she was bullied like this, Miss Mu still spoke well of her.

"Don't worry, I just don't like her. It has nothing to do with you."

Cuicui was already thinking about how to settle the score with Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi had no idea that her Lin family was being hated just because they were kind enough to give someone a ride.

They didn't arrive until Xishui Village, and everyone got off the carriage. Lin Xiuyan then drove the carriage towards the Lin family.

When Aunt Zhao got off the carriage, she whispered to Madam Song, "Sister Song, I'll come to your house after lunch and we can talk in detail."

Mrs. Song smiled and patted her hands, "Okay, I'll leave it to Sister Zhao."

Chai Ya stayed at home today and had already prepared dinner.

Hearing Fei Huang's breathing outside, she ran out.

Seeing everyone getting off the carriage and unloading things, Chai Ya asked, "Did you buy the duckling?"

"Yes, I bought it." Lin Zhiyi replied.

"I know how to raise ducks. I'll feed them." Chai Ya took the initiative to take over the job of feeding the ducks.

"Okay, don't be tired when the time comes."

Lin Zhiyi said with a smile.

"How can I be tired? I'm not tired."

Before she came to the Lin family, she fed the chickens and ducks, fed the pigs, and cut grass for the pigs every day at home. She started doing this since she was a child.

Chai Ya carried down the ducks one basket at a time and saw that some of the ducklings were motionless, obviously breathing out more than breathing in.

She picked out the ducklings and threw them aside.

Lin Zhiyi didn't say anything, but went into the kitchen and brought out some water, which was actually spiritual spring water added to it, and served it to the little ducks that were not happy.

"Girl, these ones are doomed to fail. Don't waste your energy on them."

"Let's try it first. As long as there's breath left, we can't give up on them."

Chai Ya didn't say anything, but thought that the young lady was really kind-hearted.

Lin Lu ran out when she heard the sound and was very happy to see the little duck. "Auntie, can the little duck swim?"

Lin Zheng behind him said, "Of course I can swim."

"Then I'll bring some water and watch the ducklings swim."

Gu Wanyun: "Eat first, then play with the ducklings."

Lin Lu curled her lips: "Okay."

At the Lin family’s dinner table.

When Lin Fu learned about Lin Zhiyi's idea of ​​raising ducks in paddy fields, he was very supportive and felt that his daughter knew more than he, an old father.

Madam Song said, "Master, we met my second brother in the county."

Mrs. Song talked about today's events with Lin Fu.

Lin Fu frowned, "This beast!"

Mrs. Song felt a little upset and reminded her, "Zhizhi, be careful these days."

"Mom, it's okay. They don't dare. Our family has nothing to do with them. What they are doing is illegal."

Even if there is danger, she still has space. No one can find her once she enters the space.

Lin Zhiyi was more worried about Lin Xue at this time. She was afraid that the second branch would suddenly set its sights on Lin Xue. After all, they had not yet separated. If Old Lady Wang gave the order, no one would be able to do anything even if Lin Xue was sold.

In this day and age, are there still few people who sell their children, grandchildren, and granddaughters?

If the imperial court could take care of it, there wouldn't be so many people trafficking in human beings.

"Mom, you'd better remind Fourth Aunt."

Mrs. Song nodded. "Zhizhi is really thoughtful. When I have some free time, I'll go visit your Fourth Aunt."

The Lin family was eating, chatting and laughing, when a voice ruined everyone's mood. "You Lin family members are really good! We agreed to wait at the city gate, but you Lin family ran back first, making us wait for so long. You're taking us for fools, aren't you?"

There were two women following behind Cuicui.

Mu Yunzhao was hiding outside the gate at this time, waiting to see the Lin family suffer a setback.

Although he couldn't do anything to the Lin family, he could still make Lin Zhiyi feel uncomfortable.

The two women pulled Cuicui straight in their arms, "We were late returning to the city gate, so we can't blame the Lin family for not waiting for us."

"Noon is noon. I wasn't late at all. They broke their promise and made a fool of us."

Lin Fu asked, "Miss, don't worry, let me ask what's going on."

Lin Xiuyan explained, "Dad, when we were going to the county, a few people stopped our carriage and said they wanted to take us there. We thought it was fate since we lived in the same village, and we agreed to return at noon.

But we bought too many things, and my sister even bought a duck. When we came back, the carriage was full, so we came back. Who can we blame if they were late at the city gate?

Gu Wanyun continued, "Yes, they were sharing the ride, so it's fine that we didn't ask for their travel expenses, but how come we didn't take advantage of them, and instead it was our fault? How can this be justified?"

Cuicui said, "I don't care. We had agreed to wait at the city gate. If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have come back in an ox cart.

Now that we have lost our oxcart, we have no choice but to rent a horse carriage. The carriage costs us thirty coins, and your Lin family should pay for it."

Lin Fu and Madam Song looked a little gloomy when they heard this.

Lin Xiuyan was also so angry that his face looked ugly.

Gu Wanyun and Fang Luo both found it unbelievable and thought that this girl was so unreasonable.

Lin Zhiyi spoke up, "Miss Cuicui, since you charged thirty cents for the return trip, wouldn't it be too much to ask for twenty cents for the return trip?"

Lin Zhiyi said unhappily.

Cuicui's eyes widened when she heard this. "What? You want twenty cents from me? Why don't you Lin family members just rob me?"

She was just as Miss Mu said, unruly and unreasonable, always bullying others.

"Oh~, Miss Cuicui was willing to spend thirty cents when she came back, so what? Our spacious carriage of the Lin family is not worth twenty cents? Pay up!"

"It was your Lin family who made me spend an extra thirty cents on travel expenses, but you're asking me for money instead. What the hell are you thinking?"

"Then may I ask, is the carriage our Lin family's or yours?"

"Needless to ask? It's from your Lin family."

"Did you stop the carriage or did we force you onto it?"

“It’s me…”

Cui Cui suddenly realized, "What do you mean?"

"It's only natural to pay for a ride. We never said it was free. Since you're going to act like a scoundrel, I'd like Ma Cunzheng to judge the situation and see how Xishui Village could raise a scoundrel like you!"

Lin Zhiyi sneered.

Who wouldn't be able to be unreasonable with her?

Fang's mother immediately agreed, "Yes, you've already learned to default on your debts at such a young age. What did your parents teach you? Either you pay up today, or we'll go find Ma Muramasa and have him discipline you!"
