Lin Xiaoxiao took Wan Qing's cloth bag and put it in her space. After returning home happily, she saw Han Qiushi cleaning the house.
After she entered the house, she saw that Han Qiushi had already prepared the food for lunch. She washed her hands and started preparing the meal.
The meal was cooked quickly, and the two had barely sat down when they heard the brigade leader's voice from outside the house, "Lin Zhiqing, Han Zhiqing!"
Han Qiushi responded, "Yes."
Captain Wang: "Something's happened. You two come along and take a look."
"good."
Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food, then led the half-grown Lightning out of the house by the rope.
As the two went outside, they saw Captain Wang frowning and smoking welding fumes. His frown eased slightly when he saw them: "I don't even know what to say about what happened today. There's not a single one of them who's easy to deal with."
Lin Xiaoxiao, who knew perfectly well what was going on, blinked and asked Captain Wang with a puzzled look, "Uncle, what exactly happened?"
Captain Wang frowned again as if he had just thought of something: "It's about Wan Zhiqing's money. We were supposed to give it to him today along with the Lin family's share, but they actually got into a fight over the money."
At midday, most people are either enjoying the cool shade under the trees or taking a nap in a cool corner of their homes, but a large crowd has already gathered in front of the Lin family's house.
When Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi arrived, they saw Wan Qing leaning against the Lin family's gate, her clothes and hair all disheveled. She was staring fiercely at the Lin family members and shouting insults.
"My money disappeared right here. If it wasn't you, then who was?"
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I will absolutely not let your family off the hook."
The men of the Lin family were alright, but Lin Shuiniang's clothes were a mess, and she was covered in dirt, indicating that she had been pushed to the ground.
Lin Shuiniang was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Wan Qing and cursing, "You...you just know how to frame people as soon as you open your mouth. I think you just don't want to take this money and are trying to extort our family."
Han Qiushi raised an eyebrow when he saw them all cursing.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the people around her, pretending to know nothing, and asked them, "What's going on? Why are you arguing here in the middle of the day?"
"I heard it was because of Wan Qing's 500 yuan. Wan Qing picked up the money from the mail, and then he was robbed at the door of the Lin family. Wan Qing is convinced that it was the Lin family who did it, but the Lin family refuses to admit it no matter what."
After what happened before, everyone in the village now knows that Wan Qing was groped by Lin Shui, and he doesn't feel anything is wrong about living at Lin's house, so he doesn't try to hide it.
People were very dissatisfied with Wan Qing, who could simply settle the matter by paying money. Although the Lin family paid less money, they were beaten badly.
"They did something bad just two days ago. They were unwilling to pay upfront, but now they're saying they went to get the money and got robbed on their way back. If you ask me, they're just putting on an act for everyone to see."
"That's right, that's right, a whole 500 yuan! Who has that much money on them? If they don't try to hide it properly, it's not so easy for someone to rob them. The way they are now, they must have planned it beforehand, they just don't want to pay."
Lin Xiaoxiao heard all these comments but didn't say anything.
At this moment, some village officials came over and asked what had just happened.
Yesterday, Wan Qing went to Captain Wang's house to say he wanted to give the money to the brigade. But when it came time to give the money today, this happened.
They were hoping this money would help the villagers solve their problems, but now it seems they're unlikely to get it.
“Wan Zhiqing, Lin family, can’t you talk things out properly? Why do you have to make such a scene?” the village secretary said.
Wan Qing gave the Lin family a disgusted look, snorted, and turned her head away.
"I have nothing to say to them. Just give me the money right now. I won't ask you for 500, just give me 300. Consider the remaining 200 as a thank you fee for saving me last time!"
Lin Shui became anxious upon hearing this and stepped forward to Wan Qing, saying ingratiatingly, "Wan Qing, what are you saying? Didn't we agree on this before? Why have you changed your mind today?"
"Don't you know what your family has done? And stay away from me!!" Wan Qing said, taking a step back in disgust.
Seeing how Wan Qing was bullying her, talking about houses and jobs, Lin Shui Niang decided she wouldn't serve him anymore! What kind of people were these? She didn't want to pay the money, yet they made her family take on the responsibility.
The educated youth in the city are truly more ruthless than those in the countryside.
Seeing the Lin family storming into their house, Wan Qing rushed straight towards Lin Shui Niang, shouting, "You all stop right there! If you don't hand over the money today, you'll never have a good time again!"
Lin Shuiniang was knocked back several steps by Wan Qing's bump. If Lin Guang hadn't been standing next to her, she might have fallen. Her chest heaved as she pointed at Wan Qing and said, "Wan Qing, I'm letting you have your way because you're a young girl, but don't push your luck. Don't try to outnumber us!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Qing stared at them with wide eyes. "What? Say that again if you dare? You don't want to pay, fine, but you're actually thinking of attacking me again?"
The onlookers were happy to watch the commotion, but the village officials nearby wouldn't let it happen. "You all better talk properly and stop fighting all the time."
Wan Qing was furious, so angry that she couldn't control herself and spat in the direction of the Lin family, "Pah!"
This enraged not only Lin Shuiniang but also Lin Guang. Lin Shuiniang tried to attack Wan Qing with both hands and feet, but was quickly pulled back by several people from the village committee. Unable to hit him, Lin Guang and the others could only shout at the top of their lungs.
"Wan Qing, you little bitch, you lost the money yourself, and you just accuse us of robbing it? I admit I was after your money before, but today I'm telling you the truth."
"Your money stinks, and you stinks too. Who wants your stinking money? You're just a little slut whose body my son has touched all over. Let me tell you, my family will scrape together that 150 yuan even if we have to sell everything we own. Now, take your things and get out of my house!"
“We’ve already said we didn’t take it, it wasn’t us. Even if you send people to search us and our house, we won’t be afraid.”
"On the contrary, it is you who want to harm Lin, the educated youth. If you anger me, I will go to the station right now and expose you, and then have a good talk with the people in the educated youth office."
