Chapter 349 Gift Giving



Outsiders say Lin Xiaoxiao is fierce and will never hesitate to beat someone, but in Captain Wang's eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao is the lucky charm of Wangjia Village. She has brought a lot of benefits to Wangjia Village since she arrived, and she has also enabled everyone to eat meat.

I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the less Captain Wang wants to release the people.

He knew very well that some people had great abilities and wouldn't waste their time in a small place like Wangjia Village. It was already very lucky for their village that Lin Xiaoxiao could stay in Wangjia Village for such a long time.

If Lin Xiaoxiao goes somewhere else, then the benefits won't go to their village.

The news of the telephone installation was truly exciting and joyful. It was only after Lin Xiaoxiao confirmed it that the news spread throughout Wangjia Village in an instant.

With the news of the factory's expansion and Lin Xiaoxiao's intention to move her household registration out of Wangjia Village and no longer be an educated youth there but to live in Beijing, by almost the afternoon, almost everyone in the village knew about it, and Wangjia Village was once again in an uproar.

Many families who benefited from Lin Xiaoxiao felt empty inside after learning that she was leaving, but they were also very grateful. Many people kept searching their homes for things they thought were presentable, wanting to thank Lin Xiaoxiao for giving them the opportunity to work and earn money.

When Lin Xiaoxiao returned home, she found that quite a few people were waiting in her yard, including her aunt and a group of children who always followed her around.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could even speak, people of all ages gathered around.

"What are you doing here...?" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

Da Niu's grandmother smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao: "We knew you were back, and we thought there probably wasn't much food at home, so we brought you some."

"After you go to the capital, it will be difficult to eat our food." Grandma Niu's tone was reluctant.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the things they had brought: dried mushrooms, walnuts, hazelnuts, and other dried goods. They were even generous enough to bring her a whole chicken. The rest were some homemade pickled vegetables.

She quickly waved her hand in refusal: "Aunties, please don't do this. I used to go up the mountain often and I didn't lack these things." Lin Xiaoxiao was telling the truth. Whenever she went up the mountain to collect firewood or hunt, she would put these things into her spatial storage whenever she came across them.

There are still quite a few mountain products left in the space.

"These are all worthless things, Lin Zhiqing, please accept them. Now I can earn quite a bit of money a month, and I can eat meat twice a month."

“Yes, Lin Zhiqing, if we want to eat these things, we can just go up the mountain. The capital is good, there is no shortage of things, but we may not be able to find such fresh ones.”

"We are very grateful to you for helping the village get telephones installed since you came back. If it weren't for you bringing the fabric, we wouldn't have been able to set up the factory."

......

After Grandma Da Niu started, the other aunties chimed in, one after another, until Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to respond. She kept refusing, but the aunties were determined to give her things.

In the end, Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to accept some of the mountain produce and pickled vegetables, but not the chickens and ducks: "I'll take these things, but I absolutely refuse to take the chickens and ducks. You should take them back quickly."

"If you really don't want to take it back, then I can only give you money as a way of saying I bought it."

Upon hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to buy their things, the aunties immediately put the items away. They were giving them to Lin Xiaoxiao as gifts, not selling them. If they took money from her, what would that be? Wouldn't that be forced buying and selling? That's not acceptable.

Lin Xiaoxiao was satisfied when she saw that they had put the things away.

It's not right for everyone to be gathered here in such cold weather, so she invited everyone inside to have tea and snacks brought from the capital.

Upon receiving this invitation, the people who came specifically to deliver gifts immediately refused. They were there to deliver gifts to Lin Zhiqing, not to take advantage of Lin Xiaoxiao. With so many mouths to feed, how much would Lin Zhiqing have to offer to entertain them?

However, some people didn't think that way. They didn't come simply to express their gratitude and give gifts; they came to make a good impression on Lin Xiaoxiao, who was from the capital and had married into such a good family.

They thought that they might only meet such an amazing person in their lifetime, and if they could get along well with him, there would be many benefits.

Some people wanted to leave, while others wanted to stay. The two groups stood at the entrance of the courtyard, their eyes locked in a struggle. In the end, neither side would give in, and they both turned their gazes to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked and glanced at Lightning beside her. Lightning met Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze and, as if knowing what its master meant, suddenly began to howl.

The villagers wouldn't be afraid if the lightning just barked at them, since they'd known it wouldn't hurt anyone after living with it for so long. But the lightning wasn't just barking; it was also scratching the ground with its claws, as if it were extremely agitated. In the end, it even bared its teeth at the crowd.

Everyone was startled and took a step back. Although it was said to be harmless, it was still a wolf. If they were bitten, they would be covered in blood.

"Ouch, what... what's with the lightning?"

"Quick, quick, everyone move away! Judging from this, the lightning has gone berserk."

"I hope it doesn't bite my butt."

......

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's expression turned cold and stern. She stepped forward, grabbed Lightning, and shouted at her: "Lightning! Lightning! Don't you dare show your teeth!"

Lightning intended to stop there, but who knew this beautiful woman was so malicious, actually pinching its own flesh. It could only continue to pretend to be very agitated, constantly baring its teeth and scratching its claws.

Because of this, for everyone's safety, Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to "laboriously" bring Lightning home.

After finishing, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly packed up some things and distributed the wedding candies and snacks she brought with her to everyone fairly evenly.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know what's wrong with Lightning today, it suddenly turned into this."
