Chapter 232 The Stepbrother's Kindness
Lin Yuesha said that her family is always thinking about their clansmen. They believe that even if the blood is broken, the blood is still connected, and they must work together to become rich.
“Over the years, my mother and I have lived a hard life in the village. We are very grateful for the care of our relatives and the fact that they never abandoned my mother.”
Lin Yuesha's words were indeed true. In other clans, married daughters were not allowed to return, unlike in Chenjia Village where such restrictions were not in place.
Although the clansmen are somewhat jealous and have a tendency to take advantage of others, they are generally kind-hearted and there are very few wicked people among them.
"Little girl, you've really grown up."
Dog Egg's mother patted Lin Yuesha's head, and her words warmed her heart.
Logically speaking, since Chen was a married-out woman, even if she didn't help her clansmen, they shouldn't have any complaints. They should all keep to themselves and live their own lives. It's all Wang Pozi's fault for talking nonsense.
After hearing Lin Yuesha's words, Gou Dan's mother planned to visit some acquaintances after dinner to explain the situation and avoid any misunderstandings about the Chen family.
"That's right. It's nice in town, but we don't have many relatives there."
Neighbors in town hardly interact and ignore each other when they see each other, unlike in the village where people greet each other warmly.
After explaining her own situation, Lin Yuesha began to complain, saying that Granny Wang had ulterior motives.
"I don't think Wang Tiezhu is a fool."
Lin Yuesha threw out a brick to attract jade, waiting for Gou Dan's mother to take the bait.
"What's so stupid about him? A fool would know how to steal chickens and dogs, let alone peep at women bathing."
Dog Egg's mother was straightforward and quick-tempered, and blurted it out without thinking. Once the words were out, it was difficult to take them back, so she didn't hide them.
“There is a river in our village. At night, when it gets dark, the men in the village don’t come out, and the women go to the river to bathe.”
In the hot summer, the women bathed together in the river without any fear.
However, Wang Tiezhu would hide behind a large rock every night to peep at women bathing, until one day he was caught by Gou Dan's mother.
After all, this wasn't a good thing, so Gou Dan's mother kept quiet.
From that day on, she discovered that Wang Tiezhu had been arrested and stopped coming.
Soon after, several thieves were found stealing women's undergarments in the village.
During the busy farming season, almost every household leaves no one behind to work in the fields. The flatbread they brought in the morning is just a bite to stave off hunger.
The man never lost his clothes, only the woman's undergarment.
At first, the families who lost their undergarments didn't want to make a fuss and could only accept their bad luck. But then, several acquaintances talked privately and realized that they had all had similar experiences.
Dog Egg's mother also lost her way and cursed the shameless thief.
The thief was never caught until one day, when Gou Dan's mother had her period and returned home at noon, she found Wang Tiezhu stealing chickens from her house.
"I went to arrest him, and Wang Tiezhu ran in a hurry, several undergarments falling out of his clothes!"
Gou Dan's mother was furious and went straight to Wang Pozi's house to argue. At first, Wang Pozi denied it, but then Gou Dan's mother threw out her bellyband and claimed that the clan leader should judge. Only then did Wang Pozi panic.
"She begged me not to tell anyone, otherwise Wang Tiezhu wouldn't be able to stay in the village."
Granny Wang talked about how difficult things were for her family. They had finally managed to escape to Chenjia Village and establish themselves. But if they left the village, they would have nowhere to go.
"Old Wang begged me desperately, and even compensated me for my hen and gave me a tael of silver as hush money."
At this point, Gou Dan's mother felt a little embarrassed. At the time, her family had some troubles and they were short of money, so she took the money and silently accepted Wang Pozi's suggestion.
However, she also said that if she finds anyone else missing their undergarment, she will expose them without hesitation.
After that, the bib was never lost again, and the matter was glossed over. Dog Egg's mother also kept her promise and did not mention it again.
Wang Tiezhu wasn't stupid, Gou Dan's mother was absolutely certain, because when she went to see Wang Pozi, she was still listening to Wang Tiezhu complaining that Wang Pozi had ruined his reputation and prevented him from getting a wife because of money.
"That old woman Wang, she refuses to pay a dowry when she gets married, she won't even spend this little bit of money on her youngest son, but Wang Tiezhu is her own son."
When Gou Dan's mother talked about this, she looked down on Wang Pozi.
Lin Yuesha knew that Wang Tiezhu didn't mean that. Instead, Wang Pozi was trying to reduce taxes by portraying her own son as a complete idiot.
What a weirdo! What a weirdo!
Lin Yuesha returned home and told her older brother what she had found out, but she didn't expect Xiao Qi to be able to help her come up with any ideas.
This kind of good-natured person is almost like a tortoise.
"Brother, tell me, how much harm does Wang Tiezhu, such a shameless person, pose to Chenjia Village if he's still around?"
Something must be done to expel Wang Tiezhu from the clan and make the Wang family disappear from the village, so that they won't have to see or bother us anymore.
The two rode in a carriage, and Xiao Qi casually remarked, "Little sister, there are plenty of people like that."
In towns and counties, you can find all sorts of people from all walks of life.
Some people make a living by staging accidents and setting up honey traps, just to earn a living.
This line of work is dangerous but highly rewarding; not everyone has this skill.
"I heard that there are some lowlifes in the North Street courtyard who specialize in honey trap scams. The couple works together, the wife takes the initiative to seduce the man, and if she succeeds, she pretends to be happy, while her husband shows up at the crucial moment to catch them in the act."
The couple set up a honey trap; if the man refused to pay, they would report him to the authorities.
This kind of swindling not only allows them to make a living but also helps them accumulate a considerable amount of money.
"There are people like that?"
Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue in amazement. She seemed to have heard similar news in modern times. At first, she was just a little curious, but then a sudden thought flashed through her mind. Yes, if Granny Wang was scheming against her family, she could also set up a honey trap to lure Granny Wang and Wang Tiezhu into the trap!
That's what we should do, and it's a good idea.
Once things escalate, Gou Dan's mother will definitely not hide what Wang Tiezhu has done. Since the interests of the clan members have been violated, they will surely join forces to pressure the clan leader and drive him out of Chenjia Village!
Great idea, really great idea!
"Brother, why are you telling me this?"
For a moment, Lin Yuesha even thought that Xiao Qi was giving her some pointers, but seeing her older brother's innocent face, she immediately dismissed the idea.
Xiao Qi curled his lips into a smile, his eyes deep and thoughtful, before turning innocent. "I wanted to tell you that there are all kinds of people in this world."
Lin Yuesha: "..."
So, given my brother's easygoing nature, he definitely wouldn't come up with such a terrible idea!
Lin Yuesha felt relieved. Her older brother was a kind-hearted person and not suited to be a bad guy, so she would play the bad guy.
Back in the courtyard, Lin Yuesha couldn't wait to share the information she had gathered with Chen Xiaohua and reveal her plan.
Is this feasible?
Chen Xiaohua was excited, but also a little unsure.
"Give them a taste of their own medicine, haha, why not!"
Lin Yuesha thought there was no better way than this, a way to solve the problem once and for all, and get rid of the people from the village in one go.
