Chapter 88: Violence

A young man suddenly stood up from his stool!

He yelled at Old Liu, "Old Liu, if you don't understand something, can you please ask first?! What do you mean by doing secret activities? It's not the village chief who is treating us today! It's Lili who just came back from the hospital! We all brought some things to visit her, and she felt bad, so she treated us all to dinner!"

After being reminded by the young man, the others reacted immediately.

Then he also shouted: "That's right! You didn't know that the girl came back from the hospital today. That's your fault. You kept the news a secret!"

"And if you knew about it but didn't bring the things to look at, that's selfish of you! How can you blame the village chief?!"

"That's right! If someone in your family is hospitalized and comes home, and the neighbors come to visit with gifts, you would kick them all out, right? But our Lili is a righteous person! She has the courage to do big things! So she gathers everyone together and treats them to a meal!"

Lin Li: “…”

Is this how “大义懜然” is used?

But she remained quiet and let these people quarrel.

After all, they are speaking for themselves.

This clear explanation prevented Old Liu from spreading the news and causing the villagers to spread rumors that Lin Rong was unfair in his work.

After everyone had finished arguing and Old Liu was convinced and admitted his mistake, Lin Li wanted to interrupt and speak.

As a result, her voice was too soft to get a word in.

She simply went back to the house, got an iron basin, and started banging on it with her hands.

Everyone was shocked and there was silence for a moment.

Lin Li took the opportunity to say loudly: "Uncle Liu, if you let this fish die, it will be worthless. Sell it to me now."

Old Liu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Li.

So he pushed through the crowd and walked over here.

As she walked, she cried, "Oh, niece! I'm going to take the fish to the police station to report the case!"

"How many fish do you have? Count them now. We can all serve as witnesses for you. Just report it to the police and don't take the fish with you..." Lin Li said, "I'll weigh the fish for you later. We can all serve as witnesses for you. It's enough to have someone to testify. Just sell the evidence and eat it! Otherwise, it will be worthless after it dies..."

As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, the sister-in-law who had rolled her eyes before rolled her eyes again.

"Liu Li, don't listen to Old Liu's nonsense! If you want to eat fish, I will buy you two kilograms of Spanish mackerel tomorrow! It's already afternoon today, so you can't catch the market! Otherwise, I would go buy it for you right now!"

This eldest sister-in-law is a shrewd person. On the surface, she bought two pounds of fish for Lin Li to eat, but in fact, she was naturally trying to coax Lin Li. As long as she was coaxed, it would be easy for her to eat at Lin Li's place in the future.

A certain elder brother also said: "Yes, yes, yes! Spanish mackerel and hairtail are the real good fish! The sea is clean, unlike the river which is full of stinky mud! The fish meat there really smells like mud!"

"Are you two young guys looking for a beating?" Old Liu was completely furious and he jumped three feet high.

The four or five half-dead carps also jumped up and down.

If it were Lin Li, if he went fishing, he might not be able to pull up a single carp this big. He envied Old Liu who could lift four or five fish with his hands.

"Enough, enough, stop arguing!" Lin Li knocked the gong again and raised his voice like the famous loud-mouthed wife in the village, "Fellow villagers, stop saying useless things! And don't just stand here! Sit down properly! The food is about to be served!"

After shouting this, Lin Li completely let go of her temper and no longer thought about her image as a lady or not.

She rolled up her sleeves and shouted again, more spicily: "If there's no room here, go sit in the neighbor's yard! Today we're distributing food, not fighting over it, so it will be distributed evenly! Don't always think you can eat more just because you're close to me! If anyone dares to move or fight over it, don't expect to get a good meal here for the rest of your life! Did you hear me?"

Lin Li's shout established his momentum, and the neighbors no longer dared to act rashly.

I originally thought that Lin Li would become more talkative after this injury, but now it seems that his temper is still the same and he is just being reasonable at best.

So the neighbors began to talk in low voices and stopped making noise.

Lin Li concentrated her mental strength to see if anyone dared to say anything bad about her.

She is now more violent than the violent emperor. The emperor would kill people if he heard someone say something bad about him, but Lin Li is - even if you don't say it out loud, you can't stop thinking about it! If you dare to think bad things about me, I will make things difficult for you in the future!

Lin Rong walked in at this time, and when he heard Lin Li shouting, he also started to scold him in a loud voice.

As the village chief, he is used to giving lectures, and his speech is full of intonation and style.

Even if there were those stubborn people who dared to disobey him in normal times, now that he had the support of his sister Lin Li, no one dared to "disobey" him.

"Village chief! Oh, you finally came out!" Old Liu burst into tears when he saw the head of the family. "I came here just to find you! My fish... Look at my fish... Oh my God, I have lost a lot of money! You have to give me a certificate and take me to the commune to report the case!"

Lin Li frowned, "Uncle Liu, you didn't understand what I just said to you, did you? Tell me how much you can sell these two fish for when they are alive and kicking, and sell them to me now! If you sell them for your usual money, you won't lose money, right? Then you can go to the commune and report the case, let the police find the murderer, and let him pay the money, then you will make double the profit! Why are you crying so depressed?"

Communicating with such a smoke-resistant person can make even a good-tempered person lose his temper.

Besides, Lin Li had never had a good temper.

The villagers were busy arranging seats just now, but when they heard Old Liu being so ignorant, they felt itchy if they didn't follow his words of scolding.

Then they forgot about Lin Li's words of admonition and started to argue with Old Liu again.

In fact, Old Liu is not stupid. He just lost his mind because he was mad at the bad little rascal.

If he was really hopelessly stupid, how could he be so advanced in thinking in the village and willing to spend a huge sum of money to contract the pond?

Now that he was scolded by everyone, he finally realized that what Lin Li said made sense.

Someone also told him from their own experience that in most of these petty theft cases, there were no criminal records but no investigation results because there were no witnesses and people often came and went near the pond, so the perpetrators could not be found based on the footprints at the scene.

The village chief cannot be blamed for this, after all, he is not a policeman.

To put it bluntly, even if the village chief's house was robbed, the thief cannot be found.

Of course, the police cannot be blamed. After all, it is difficult to investigate.

"So, Old Liu, you should be content!" A young man said angrily, "You are lucky that people are willing to help you recover your funds! Don't be so shameless and jump around here! Otherwise, take your broken fish and go to the commune to report it!"

Lin Lu then said, "I'll say it again, Uncle Liu, I'm not forbidding you to report the case! I'm saying that you should sell the fish to me first, and then you can go! If you don't want to listen, it's okay! Now my eldest brother will take you to the police station! If my eldest brother doesn't go, then my third brother will go! After reporting the case, we'll follow the procedures. If you don't want to sell the fish, then don't sell it. I'll ask the neighbors to buy fish for me tomorrow..."

Then Lin Li waved his hand impatiently, "Then I'll go back to the house and continue cooking!"

"Hey, niece, wait a minute!"

Old Liu almost broke out in a cold sweat!

Fortunately, he realized it in time!
