Chapter 42 The best comes to your door
Lin's father took the meat to the team leader's house and said that his daughter was attacked by a wild boar when she went up the mountain and she fought it off. He wanted to use the wild boar for his daughter's banquet. The team leader had no objection, saying that the banquet was for the villagers to eat together, so it didn't count as breaking the rules.
Since the captain said so, the villagers naturally shut up, and the wild boar had a clear path with the captain.
As Lin's father headed home, he began to think: over 40 kilograms of pork would cost over 10 yuan at the supply and marketing office, and you need a ticket. Killing this wild boar today meant he'd saved over 10 yuan. It takes a family a lot of money to save up 10 yuan. Lin's father was delighted, as if he'd found money. This son-in-law was truly a talent, both handsome and capable.
The Lin family had already prepared lunch and was waiting for Lin's father to come back.
In the yard, the Lin family members were busy with their own things, and the busiest one was Lanying. Lin's mother gave them a task. On the day of Lin Qingqing's wedding, the whole family had to wear new clothes so as not to lose face for her sister-in-law.
There were only two and a half days left before the wedding banquet, and Lanying had been busy at the house sewing machine, measuring the sizes of the family's fabrics and then cutting and sewing them.
The first thing she made was her sister-in-law's wedding dress. The red Dacron fabric was embellished with subtle patterns, and it looked exquisite. Lanying planned to make a waist-cinching style that would both show off her figure and flatter her figure.
She was working non-stop, her feet pedaling quickly, when she heard a commotion outside and thought it was Xiaoxiao who had returned. Putting down the fabric in her hands and closing the cover on the sewing machine, Xiao Lanying walked out briskly and saw that the door was crowded with people. The Lin family was inside, and several nearby families were outside. The aunt next door was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. What was she doing?
When they pushed the people aside, they saw Xiaojuan and her mother rolling around on the ground, their faces and bodies covered in mud. Her mother-in-law's eyebrows were raised, her sister-in-law stood calmly on her left, and several sisters-in-law stood on her right with gloomy faces.
Wang Guifang rolled over and over, muttering non-stop: "It's just a quarrel between girls, and your daughter beats my daughter like this. It's been so many days, and my daughter can't even lift a bucket of water. She's disabled. Your family must be held responsible."
The Lin family was poor and lived at the end of the village. They didn't interact much with the villagers. Those who were just watching felt that the Lin family should pay compensation. Recently, the news that the Lin family was going to build a house had spread throughout the village. They could build ten large tiled houses, so why would they not pay some compensation?
The aunt holding the spatula chimed in, "Old Lin, your family broke a girl's arm, so you should pay her some compensation. Aren't you going to have a wedding soon? Don't ruin the atmosphere."
Someone chimed in, and the people around him also spoke up: "Yeah, it's just a matter of paying some money, it's no big deal. It would be a shame if it got out of hand."
"Your family is rich now. This little money is nothing. Let your son-in-law pay for it."
The Lin family was amused by these people's nonsense. Mother Lin, who had been frowning, softened her expression. "So what you're saying is that from now on, if anyone throws a tantrum outside our door, we'll have to pay them? I see Xiaojuan's limbs are very flexible, and her shouts are full of energy. She doesn't sound sick at all. Seeing that our family's money was blown in by the wind, if you want to extort money, just say so directly. Bah, you shameless person."
It was obvious from what Lin's mother said that she didn't want to pay the money, so the people who supported her had no time to say anything.
Zhang Guilian stood in front of Lin's mother to prevent Wang Guifang from throwing a tantrum and hitting Lin's mother.
The brothers of the Lin family blushed. If it was a man who came today, they could have settled the matter by beating him up. But for these two women, it was neither right for them to use force nor words.
Zhaodi noticed Lin's father coming back with his hands behind his back. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Dad, go find the team leader! Someone's coming to our door to extort money."
When Father Lin looked up, he saw a crowd of people outside his house. He ran over and saw Wang Guifang and her daughter lying at the door crying.
After asking the boss Lin Baojun, he found out the reason and went to find the team leader with his hands behind his back.
Lin Qingqing was annoyed by the howling. Seeing that Zhaodi couldn't pull the two men away, she said, "Aren't you here to ask for medical expenses today? I'll give it to you. If you beat me up again, I'll pay you."
As he said this, he was about to pull Xiaojuan's arm.
Last time, Xiaojuan had her arm twisted and broken, and she didn't want to experience that pain again. Seeing that Lin Qingqing was really coming over, she hurriedly got up and backed away.
Wang Guifang was also shocked by Lin Qingqing's words. She was begging for money, but she never thought the Lin family would dare to beat her again. She pointed at Lin Qingqing and accused her: "You saw it, she even wanted to beat us to death in front of people. This is lawless. Such a vicious woman should be dragged into the struggle session."
Lin Qingqing didn't care what she said and went to catch Xiaojuan. Xiaojuan saw the hatred in her eyes and ran away in fear.
Wang Guifang tried to pull Lin Qingqing away, but was restrained by Zhaodi and Zhang Guilian. She was so angry that she screamed at the top of her lungs, "They're going to kill people! The Lin family is going to kill people! Help!"
Lin Qingqing was noisy and said, "Da Mao, go get your dad's socks."
After hearing this, Damao immediately went into the crowd and went into the house to find a pair of unwashed socks. Lin Qingqing stuffed them directly into Wang Guifang's mouth, which made Wang Guifang roll her eyes.
