Chapter 113 Bullying the Horse and Blaming the Horse
Lin Xi has always known that Tang Xuyang has a simple mind.
But she hadn't noticed before, but this man also had a bit of an adventurous temperament. When he mentioned this, his eyes lit up.
I don’t know what Tang Hu and Xiao Yongyan talked about when they went out, but when they came back, they had smiles on their faces.
"It's getting late, so we'll leave first." Tang Hu said with a smile.
After seeing Tang Hu off, Lin Xi pulled Xiao Yongyan over and asked, "What did you say to Tang Hu?"
Xiao Yongyan smiled, "What else could it be? I just told him that if this thing succeeds, the benefits to him will be unimaginable."
"He agreed?" The greater the return, the greater the risk. Could it be that Xiao Yongyan really convinced Tang Hu?
"Of course." Xiao Yongyan smiled proudly. If he personally took action, there would be no one he couldn't handle.
With Tang Hu's help, Lin Xi finally felt a little more at ease.
…
After staying in the town for a few days, Lin Xi returned home, only to find that the horse at home had wilted. She was shocked to realize that she and Xiao Yongyan had forgotten to leave enough grass for the horse.
The horse in our family is named Mo Yu.
It was the last time when Lin Xi took great risk to take Xiao Yongyan to the county town for medical treatment, and Xiao Yongyan snatched it back from Hang Qi.
Ever since it was snatched back, Xiao Yongyan named it "Mo Yu".
Normally, Xiao Yongyan would feed it some grass, but this time the two of them left in a hurry, so there was not enough grass left.
Mo Yu was probably hungry. Lin Xi felt guilty and hurried to the mountain to cut grass for Mo Yu.
When she arrived at her own silkworm house, Cui Hongyue was very excited, "Boss, these silkworms are growing well."
Lin Xi took a look and found that the little silkworm, which was originally only a tiny bit big, had now grown to the size of a little finger and had indeed grown a lot.
"These baskets are not flexible enough, remember to move them around." Lin Xi instructed.
"I know, boss." Cui Hongyue wiped the sweat from her forehead.
I originally thought that raising silkworms was an easy job because Lin Xi offered such a good salary. But after I actually started raising silkworms, I realized that it takes a lot of energy just to pick and feed the silkworms.
I'm exhausted after a whole day.
While they were talking, someone suddenly ran over from outside. Lin Xi took a closer look and found that it was Aunt Wu.
"Girl, please go and take a look. There is a commotion at your doorstep!" Aunt Wu said anxiously.
Lin Xi quickly followed Aunt Wu back home, only to see a group of people gathered at the door. Among them was a little boy sitting on the ground crying loudly.
Aunt Wu whispered in Lin Xi's ear, "This is Li Qionghua's son, his nickname is Goudan."
Soon, Li Qionghua pushed through the crowd and rushed to her son, "Goudan, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Li Qionghua coming over, Goudan cried even harder, "Mom, my butt hurts! My head hurts!"
Li Qionghua saw that there was indeed a bloody bump on her son's forehead. She immediately perked up and asked, "Did anyone in the village bully you? Tell me and I'll go settle the score with them!"
"It's it, it's all its fault!" Goudan pointed at Mo Yu not far away.
Li Qionghua walked to Mo Yu and wanted to kick him twice, but Mo Yu held his head high and snorted, as if he looked down on Li Qionghua.
"You beast, you still have a temper? I'm going to..." Li Qionghua turned around on the spot, looking for a suitable tool.
She spotted the stone on the ground at a glance and started moving it without hesitation.
Seeing this, Lin Xi immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Mo Yu, "This is my horse. If you have any questions, tell me."
Li Qionghua didn't like Lin Xi in the first place, and now that she was blocking her way, she became even more angry, "Your beast hurt my son, shouldn't he be taught a lesson!"
"It's too early to convict someone now since we haven't even found out the details of what happened." Lin Xi said.
Since Mo Yu came to her house, he has been very well-behaved and has never hurt anyone. She always felt that something was fishy.
At this time, Lin Xi saw a few children standing nearby.
The children in the village always like to play in groups, so Goudan definitely didn’t come out alone.
Lin Xi waved at one of the little girls and asked gently, "Little sister, tell me what happened between Goudan and Ma?"
The little girl was timid and seemed a little afraid to speak.
"Please tell me the truth and I'll give you candy." Lin Xi coaxed her.
Perhaps the temptation of candy worked, the little girl finally spoke, "Goudan wanted to ride a horse, but the horse wouldn't let him ride, so he hit the horse with a stone, and then he tried to ride again, but ended up falling off."
It was completely a story of one's own fault. After hearing it, Lin Xi was speechless.
It's just such a small matter, and you still want to blame them for it.
"Lin Xi, you heard it too. My dog Dan was injured because of your horse. If you don't compensate me with one or two taels of silver today, this matter will not be over!" Li Qionghua said fiercely.
Lin Xi sneered. She was not seeking justice for her son, but was clearly asking for money for herself.
"If your dog hadn't thrown stones at my horse, this wouldn't have happened." Lin Xi said.
It's impossible to put all the blame on her now.
Li Qionghua was very angry and pointed at the wound on Goudan's head. "How funny! What does a kid know? It's just throwing a few stones. What's the big deal? Your horse hurt my son, so you have to pay compensation!"
"It's really funny. There has never been a principle that the person who provokes first does not need to take responsibility. When two people fight, of course the one who starts the fight first is responsible. Oh, but I forgot that this guy in your family can't be considered a man." Lin Xi said deliberately.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around laughed out loud.
Goudan is just a little boy and cannot be considered a man.
But to Li Qionghua, these words meant that Lin Xi was shirking responsibility and didn't want to be responsible.
"Lin Xi, I tell you, if you don't compensate me one or two taels of silver today, I will sit at your doorstep and not leave!" Li Qionghua always suffered a loss when she faced Lin Xi. This time, she was determined to get something out of Lin Xi.
Lin Xi sneered, this is just being a rogue.
"You have no way to discipline your own child. Today you threw stones at random outside and it hit my horse. It's okay, my horse has thick skin and tough flesh. But if you go out and hit someone else's child tomorrow, will you still make such unreasonable arguments and demand compensation from them?" Lin Xi said.
As soon as these words were spoken, people around him echoed them.
It didn’t matter to them whether the horse was hit or not, but their own children were the apple of their eye.
The little girl who was speaking just now suddenly said, "Goudan likes to throw rocks at others the most. He has hit me several times."
When the girl’s mother heard this, she immediately became unhappy. It’s bad enough that your son smashed the horse, but why did you bully my child?
"Girl, is what you said true?"
