Best Matchmaker (3)
This trip was quite fruitful. Thirteen Omegas were willing to go back to the village with Lin Shu, plus three strong Alphas. There were a total of seventeen people in the group, and a donkey cart could not even accommodate them.
"I'll take the widower away first, you two stay here and guard." The rest of the words couldn't be said too directly. Lin Shu hinted with his eyes: Be careful with your words, don't let them come to their senses and run away.
The remaining two Alphas nodded repeatedly.
It took only half an hour to take a shortcut into the mountains. Lin Shu called Shuanzi and took the widower to find the village chief.
"Those Omegas in the village..." Lin Shu looked embarrassed. She had disguised her face long before she was targeted by Yazi. Now she showed this expression, which was much more innocent than her original face.
"How much goods are there this time?" The village chief looked at the widower.
The widower gestured excitedly.
The village chief, who had been somewhat composed, was immediately dumbfounded. "...So many?"
"This is all thanks to Sister Xiaolin's clever talk. If she hadn't found so many at once, it would have been suspicious. She could have brought us more..." The widower began to recount Lin Shu's great achievements in vivid detail. "...An Omega also wanted to go with us, but Sister-in-law refused outright. We were all confused at the time. Later, Sister-in-law secretly told us that the person was thin and unlikely to have children... What would an infertile person do in our village? Isn't he just looking to eat and drink for free and take advantage of us? Luckily, Sister-in-law was smart. Otherwise, like the one in Aliang's family, she's been here for three years and there's no sign of pregnancy. Wouldn't that be a loss... When it comes to the 'purchasing' business, Sister-in-law is second to none. I wonder who dares to claim first place?"
Lin Shu seemed embarrassed by the widower's praise, and waved his hands repeatedly to hide behind Shuanzi.
Shuanzi glanced at the adorable Lin Shu, and felt naturally very proud.
The village chief looked at Lin Shu, then at the widower, and finally sat down to seriously consider Lin Shu's implication. He thought for a long time, still feeling somewhat embarrassed, "But there's no place in the village to detain so many people..."
The widower suddenly had an idea, and then he smiled sinisterly, "Why not..."
As he said this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"The widower is right. Those Omegas are useless. The ones who have added population to our village over the years can be counted on one hand. It's better to kill them all to avoid the annoyance of looking at them and the waste of food to keep them." Shuanzi also gave a similar opinion.
Now it was the village chief's turn to worry, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened. "Just do it. These... these deals... aren't worth it."
"...I do have a suggestion," Lin Shu said, looking at her man: Shuanzi.
Shuanzi quickly leaned close to listen to Lin Shu's low whisper.
A moment later.
Shuanzi gave a meaningful look. He asked Guanzi and Lin Shu to guard the door, and then pulled the village chief into the inner room.
When the two men pushed open the door and came out, the village chief was already beaming with joy.
"Shuanzi, you've done a great deed this time," the village chief said, stroking his beard and smiling. "But we need to call a meeting of the villagers about this matter."
"Of course, of course," Shuanzi laughed and exchanged a knowing look with Lin Shu.
The meeting was then held, and this time it was very efficient, with almost unanimous votes passing.
Immediately afterwards, the village began to clear out the people from every household.
"I'll give you two choices. Either you stay here and be my wife, and then have a few children. Or I'll sell you to Youcun and have you live with those old bachelors in their sixties and seventies..."
After such threats and inducements, six out of more than 20 people compromised in tears, and the remaining dozen or so stubborn ones were dragged and sent to Youcun.
Lin Shu stood not far away and watched.
Someone saw her and struggled to spit pus, blood and phlegm in her direction: "Bitch! You are also an Omega, how can you be so dark-hearted?"
"You are not human beings, you will all die miserably!"
Lin Shu smiled and stopped an Alpha who was about to kick the rude Omega in the stomach, "If you get hurt, it will be worthless."
"This bitch deserves a beating," the man retracted his foot and started spitting pus and phlegm on the Omega's head.
The Omega's long hair was already crawling with fleas due to poor hygiene due to not taking a bath for a long time, and the flying pus and sputum made her even dirtier.
"Where did this person come from?" Lin Shu asked, looking at the fleas on her head.
"He's from Taocheng. I heard his family is quite wealthy. His surname is Gu," said the man.
"Gu? Maybe she's a young lady," Lin Shu's tone was full of ambiguity. "How did she get tricked into coming here?"
"She wasn't tricked. The broker said she was gagged and tied up and sold here," the man scoffed. "She's a lady? She's not a virgin, so why is she pretending to be a lady? She's more like a whore!"
Lin Shu took a closer look and smiled again, "Ah, so that's it. Perhaps it's a servant who made a mistake and was sold out by the master."
"So she's a slave! Tsk, this bitch was so arrogant when she first came here, saying that as long as you release her, her family will pay any amount of money, saying that she is a member of the Gu family and her family is very rich. Bah," the man said and spat at the Omega's head. "Everyone can brag, and what's the point of being a Miss Gu?"
"I'm not lying!" The Omega who had been keeping his head down and silent since being spat on suddenly yelled, tears streaming down his face as if he were collapsing, "I'm Miss Gu! When my family finds me, you... none of you want to live!"
"Hey, this bitch won't stop until she's beaten up?" The man rolled up his sleeves and planned to slap her hard.
At this time, the village chief's voice came from a distance: "Hurry up!"
The man could only grumble and stop. But when he turned and met the Omega's defiant gaze, he instantly flew into a rage. He grabbed the Omega's neck and whispered a warning, "If you keep grumbling, I'll make you lose your mouth forever."
The Omega's face was instantly pinched purple and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't kill him," Lin Shushi said with disgust.
The man then let go with a sullen face.
On this side, after recovering his breath, the Omega looked up at Lin Shu, his eyes full of hatred, but he finally closed his mouth.
Lin Shu glanced at these miserable Omegas with cold eyes. On her face was a smile that seemed extremely calm and cruel in the eyes of these Omegas.
After the large group had gone far away, Lin Shu looked back with a half-smile at Diao Fen who was standing at the door watching.
Diao Fen had a very good psychological quality. He flattered his face and pretended to be innocent. "Sister-in-law, you know I have no money, so how can I get a wife?"
Lin Shu's smile deepened. "Fen'er, sister-in-law didn't mean that. Why are you suddenly so sensitive? Are you hiding something from sister-in-law? It's okay. Tell me. Sister-in-law might be able to help you."
"Haha, I...how could I?" Diao Fen took a small step back and scratched the back of his head as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Fen'er, where is your mother?" Lin Shu took the initiative to change the subject.
"My mother? My mother died when she gave birth to me. She was so useless. But before she died, she gave me a name and asked my father to use this name. My father and I both think it sounds nice. It's good to have a name chosen by someone who is cultured. Otherwise, how could I sleep with the Omega in the city?" Diao Fen said as he swallowed.
"Ah, dead? That's good." Lin Shu sighed softly.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Diao Fen was confused.
"Nothing," Lin Shu's smile deepened.
Three hours later.
It's getting dark.
Three donkey carts carrying thirteen Omegas slowly emerged from the top of the hill.
The person who went outside the village to pick up the two Alphas finally came back.
The entrance to the village was bustling with activity. Unlike the Omegas before, these new wives were all shy and angry, and some were even flirting with several men from the upper village. Even at this point, not a single one felt like they were being cheated.
The village chief, surrounded by the crowd, stood in the center and spoke: "We, the Pin clan, believe in 'mutual consent'. Since you're here, I'll let you choose first. If you're not satisfied, I'll make the decision. None of the young men around me have ever married, so you can rest assured, young ladies and young men!"
After saying this, the village chief quietly left with a few people, probably because he still had some finishing work to do.
The people who stayed behind immediately surrounded the thirteen Omegas in three layers.
"You're really pretty. What's your name?"
"...What books have you read?"
"What will you do?"
"My nails are really nice, uh...what do you think of me?"
Naturally, all the Omegas answered and enjoyed it.
Obviously, these Alpha men who seemed very shabby in Lin Shu's "cause and effect" eyes were all handsome and wealthy husbands in the eyes of those Omegas. Otherwise, why did they say "a bitch and a dog will be together forever".
About an hour later, the village chief and a few others quietly blended into the crowd.
No one present noticed except Lin Shu and Shuanzi.
"What's going on?" Lin Shu asked Shuanzi in a low voice.
Shuanzi said, "Those old bastards in You Village robbed people even though they had no money. The village chief just took some widows with him to teach them a lesson."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Shu's eyes flashed with guilt. "It's all my fault. I still managed to trick a few Omegas."
Shuanzi was immediately moved and said, "How can you be blamed for this? The previous gangster took half a month to bring one here. How could you be as good as me, my wife? It's only been a few days, and you've brought us so many..."
Lin Shu sighed deeply, still seeming to feel guilty.
"It's all the fault of those old guys. Those whose wives ran away or died blame us villagers. They have been supported by us for so many years, but they have no gratitude at all. This time they even want to eat for free. They are really rebellious." Shuanzi was indignant again.
"It's not cost-effective to sell it to Youcun. Why don't we..." Lin Shu waved at Shuanzi.
Shuanzi understood.
A few seconds later.
"Don't say I said this," Lin Shu warned as usual.
"I know," Shuanzi immediately ran to find the village chief.
In the week after this day, those deceived Omegas lived happily with the men in the village. The village was full of laughter and no longer dull and gloomy as before. Occasionally, the surviving Omegas wanted to tell the truth, but they were ignored by the new Omegas intentionally or unintentionally.
One afternoon seven days later, Lin Shu went to see Diao Fen with a sumptuous lunch.
"Sister, why are you here?" Diao Fen enthusiastically invited Lin Shu to sit on the only wooden bench in the yard.
"Eat, I have to go out tomorrow morning and I'm a little worried about you." After spending these few days together, Lin Shu and Diao Fen have developed a little affection.
"Okay," Diao Fen opened it and saw that it contained the usual portion for four people. He said, "It's too much, sister, I can't eat so much," but his hands were eating up the rice in no time.
"If you can't finish it, just pour it out and feed it to the dogs. I can still afford this little meal," Lin Shu said casually. She sat for a while and then got up and left as usual.
Only after Lin Shu left did Diao Fen stop his famished act. He burped, took his bowl, walked to the water tank, kicked it, then raised his chin and said graciously, "Little bitch, thanks to me pretending to be a big eater, otherwise how could there be any leftovers to feed you?"
Far away from the bottom of the tank, a "wuwu" sound was heard, as if responding to his "kindness".
