The yard finally became quiet until everyone moved from the Lin family's doorstep to the Feng family's doorstep.
Lin Changshu pulled the village chief to sit in the yard, but Zhao closed the gate and walked into the house holding the little bell.
Little Lingling just secretly saw the look on Grandma Feng's face. She was so happy that she kept shaking her head while walking with her grandmother.
Lin Wen and his four brothers followed behind, but were stopped outside the door by Zhao when they were about to enter.
"You guys stay here and guard it. No one is allowed to come in!"
After saying that, he locked the door, picked up Xiao Lingling and walked towards the kang with a serious expression.
She sat by the bed and pondered for a long time before carefully asking, "Ling Baoer, was Mrs. Feng's behavior just now because of what you said?"
Little Bell didn't understand why her grandma looked unhappy, but she nodded anyway.
"Yes, she bullied grandma. And she said Daddy and Uncle were lying, even though she was the liar. Don't liars have their teeth falling out?"
Upon learning the truth, Zhao couldn't help but gasp. Thinking of Feng Po's mouth full of blood, she didn't feel happy, but rather felt a little heavy.
It’s not that she felt that Mrs. Feng didn’t deserve this suffering, but she was worried that someone would suspect her precious granddaughter of Mrs. Feng’s injury.
This is a curse. If someone accuses Ling Baoer of this crime, won't she be beaten to death as a monster?
Fortunately, they will flee from here tomorrow, so they can breathe a sigh of relief, but she still teaches Lingbao very seriously.
She picked up Lingbao, patted the little girl on the back first, and then began to comfort her gently.
"Lingbao'er, be good. Grandma knows you want to help grandma, daddy, and uncle vent their anger, so you punished her, right?
Actually, Ling Bao'er had good intentions. This old woman Feng was always talking nonsense, gossiping about everyone's family, often confusing right and wrong, and making random rumors. She deserved to be punished.
But we can talk about this kind of thing quietly, or in our hearts, but it must not be seen or heard by anyone else. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. You have to promise grandma, okay?"
Little Lingling didn't quite understand, but seeing that her grandmother was very serious, she nodded obediently.
Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Ling Bao'er, people are very complicated. If people knew that you could bring misfortune and bloodshed to others with just a few words, everyone would be afraid of you.
At that time, in order to avoid bad luck, everyone will hurt you without any bottom line, and this is the last thing grandma wants to see.
"Besides, we are all adults now, so we can handle these bad things. As for you, you just need to grow up happily and healthily like your brothers, understand?"
Zhao spoke very bluntly, and Xiao Lingling seemed to understand but not quite. However, she also understood that her grandmother was doing this for her own good.
It’s just a matter of not letting anyone see it, which is quite simple. So he patted his chest and looked very confident.
"Don't worry, grandma, I won't let anyone see it again! I didn't want to say it originally, but that mother-in-law is too irritating and too mean.
She must have hurt a lot of people, and there's a lot of bad luck hanging over her head, so even if I don't tell her, she'll be in trouble."
Zhao thought she was just talking about bad luck and didn't think much about it. "That's right, this old woman will get her comeuppance sooner or later! Okay, let's go out and get ready for dinner. You didn't eat much at noon, so you must be hungry by now!"
Before Zhao finished her words, little Lingling's stomach made a rumbling sound. The little girl felt a little embarrassed and quickly covered her stomach with both hands, smiling at Zhao with a red face.
Zhao couldn't help laughing, and she pecked her little cheeks twice, "Hahaha, you really are grandma's happy pill! Come on, grandma will take you to dinner!"
After saying that, the grandfather and grandson came out of the room happily. The four brothers at the door hurried over when they heard the door open.
"Sister, you guys are finally out. Mom just called us to eat!"
Zhao put the little bell down from her arms, and seeing that the village chief had not left yet, she went to greet him.
The village chief looked unhappy and exhausted.
"Village Chief, let's eat here tonight. Don't worry. We can discuss anything slowly. You've done your best, and that's enough!"
Zhu Zheng waved his hand. "Don't worry about me! Once you've packed up, it's time to leave. The situation in the village is quite complicated, and I don't know how much longer we have to deal with this."
I'll wait for them for two more days at most. If they still don't listen, I'll just give up. Even though I'm the village chief, I have to consider my own family. I don't want to drag down the whole family because of me."
Lin Changshu also sighed helplessly, "You have been the village chief for so many years and have done your best. That's enough. Think more about your family!
But once we leave tomorrow, I don't know if I'll have the chance to see you again! Our family has discussed it and decided to head towards Chen'an Prefecture. I heard that the people there are simple and honest, and the weather is good. It's a good place to settle down.
If there are too many people, you might not be able to stay here, but if you and your family are traveling alone, you can come here. Who knows, we brothers may even be able to live in the same village in the future."
Zhu Zheng couldn't help but have red eyes when he heard this. He stood up and looked ahead with empty eyes, as if he had returned to their childhood.
After a long while, he finally sighed, "Good brother, I'll remember this! I hope we'll meet again someday. I won't see you off tomorrow, so take care on your journey!"
After saying that, Zhu Zheng patted Lin Changshu on the shoulder and then walked out the door. However, his back, which seemed to be bent by time, made people feel sad.
And although they are obviously the same age, Zhu Zheng's gray hair makes him look much more vicissitudes of life compared to Lin Changshu...
