Unfortunately, when he got there, he found that the village chief was not at home.
But he was lucky. He met the fat boy on the way to look for someone. He knew where the village chief was.
The village chief is asking all the young people in the clan to go and build the ancestral hall on the pretext that the New Year is approaching.
Ostensibly, it was because of the New Year and they wanted to renovate the house, but in reality, they wanted to reinforce the walls and roof so that the purchased grain could be stored there.
The little fat man and Lin Boyu hurried over:
"Grandpa Village Chief, there are outsiders causing trouble at my second uncle's house, and my father said he needs help."
When the people around heard that someone was there to cause trouble, they ran towards Lin Anxiang's house with the tools in their hands without any instructions from the village chief.
The atmosphere in Lin Anxiang's family is very tense at the moment.
Zhang's seven brothers and sisters-in-law all came, bringing with them several of their older children, making a total of about twenty people.
On the Lin family side, there are only the two Lin brothers and the two elders of the Lin family. As for Lin Anxiang, it is better not to mention him.
"What do you want?" Lin Anru asked calmly.
Facing the noisy crowd, he didn't look panicked at all.
"Pay back the money." The Zhang family said without thinking.
Then he added: "Pay money."
The money to be repaid was the money that Lin Anxiang and his wife borrowed to buy land and build a house.
The compensation they have to pay is the money for their sister's life, which turned into this horrible state.
"It's only natural to pay back a debt, but what do you mean by compensation?"
"What do you mean?" The eldest brother of the Zhang family stood up and pointed at the half-human, half-ghost Zhang and said, "The beloved daughter of our family married into your Lin family and she came to visit less this year, and you made her look like this. Do you want compensation?"
Lin Anxiang and his wife often asked for money from the Zhang family at the beginning of the year. Any money or valuables they liked would be "borrowed" back to their home.
The kind that you borrow and never return.
At first they could only borrow money out of face.
But the Zhang family’s financial situation is not very good. It’s okay to borrow once or twice, but if they borrow too much, it becomes a problem to feed their family, so they don’t want to lend anymore.
However, there was an old mother in the family who loved her daughter very much. Although she did not lend money to Lin Anxiang's family on the surface, she subsidized them a lot behind the scenes.
The Zhang family's daughters-in-law were already complaining about Lin Anxiang borrowing money and not paying it back, and the complaints reached a peak because of Zhang's mother secretly subsidizing them.
As a result, the daughters-in-law of the Zhang family had a big outburst, making the house a mess.
Later, it was only after Mr. Zhang came forward and promised that he would no longer lend anything to his daughter and son-in-law's family, and allowed their families to save their own money, that the daughters-in-law gave up.
After receiving the guarantee and the benefits, the wives of several families finally behaved themselves for a few days.
However, all the valuable things in the house had been lent out, so their family's life was not as comfortable as in previous years.
They wanted to come to Lin Anxiang to repay the money.
They didn't look for him at first because they were afraid that Lin Anxiang would do the same as he did when he first borrowed money, and would come to their house whenever he had time and ask for money.
In addition, they had not lent out the money for long at that time, and they had not yet had a falling out with their daughter and son-in-law, so they wanted to take it easy.
This delay has lasted until now, with only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.
When I borrowed the money, I agreed to pay it back when I had money, and if I didn’t, I would pay it back after I harvested the crops and sold them.
It has been so long since the autumn harvest, but there is still no sign of Lin Anxiang.
The Zhang family, mainly the daughters-in-law, couldn't stand it anymore and started making a scene again, demanding money. So, the annoyed Zhang brothers, regardless of the risk of being blamed and their dignity, headed to Shantian Village.
When they came, they just wanted to get back the money they had borrowed. As for the matter of compensation, it was a temporary decision made after they met Zhang.
They hadn't seen Zhang for several months, and when they saw her again, they were really shocked by her current appearance.
Zhang no longer looked like a human being. Her hair was a mess like a bird's nest, her clothes were wrinkled, and she emitted a pungent stench.
Her face had become gaunt, her eyes sunken like black holes. Her lips were chapped, and her teeth were yellowed, making her look like a chronic drug addict. Her body had also become emaciated, leaving only skin and bones.
Not only that, perhaps because she saw the people from the Zhang family, she was so excited that her eyes almost rolled back and her saliva flowed faster from the corners of her mouth.
dislike.
disgust.
When the people from Zhang's family saw this, they immediately turned around and left, leaving Zhang screaming silently on the bed.
After running out to vomit, they gathered together and discussed for a while, and unanimously decided that Lin Anxiang should compensate him for the harm he had done to his sister.
They had heard that everyone in Yamada Village knew about herbs and went out to dig them up and sell them almost every day.
Lin Anxiang is also a member of Yamada Village and must have made a lot of money.
However, they searched the entire house of the second branch of the Lin family but did not find any copper coins.
When asked about it, Lin Anxiang said no, and allowed the Zhang family to turn his house upside down.
This scoundrel look makes people angry.
The Zhang brothers were so angry that they actually beat the man up.
I let out a sigh and returned to reality.
They came to ask for money.
Seeing that Zhang is unable to take care of herself, and Lin Anxiang can take care of himself but looks self-destructive, it goes without saying that unless something unexpected happens, this family will become increasingly destitute.
I didn’t get the money this time, so I don’t even think about getting it next time.
But after searching the entire second room, I only have a few copper coins left. What should I do?
The Zhang family, who were eager to get the money, were suddenly enlightened when they saw Lin Shiyi returning from the old house.
"Since you can't come up with the money, then sell that girl to pay off the debt!"
Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law pointed at Lin Shiyi and shouted, scaring Lin Shiyi so much that she turned around and ran towards the old house.
Zhang family's eldest daughter-in-law was not worried when she saw her run away. She was just a little girl, and the monk could run away, but the temple could not.
The person in charge is still here. As long as Lin Anxiang agrees, she can't run away.
The other members of the Zhang family were surprised at first by what the eldest daughter-in-law said, but after thinking about it, they felt that this was a good idea.
They didn't dare to set their sights on Lin Bocai, the only son of the second wife. However, Lin Shiyi, the girl, was not a big problem, so Lin Anxiang would probably let her go.
When the time comes, I will sell the girl. Whether I sell her to someone as a wife or somewhere else, I should get a lot of money.
Lin Shiyi is still young, and even before her face is fully grown, one can already foresee that she will be good-looking in the future.
Especially those eyes that look the same as Zhang's, which are so charming.
When Lin Shiyi heard that she was going to be sold, she ran away in a panic. On the way, she met her aunt Sun and told her what had happened while crying.
When Sun heard this, she was shocked.
