"Is there something wrong with the Tian Gen (Mr. Lin) family? They're hanging around the toilet so early in the morning, and they don't even mind the smell."
"I don't know. At first I thought they all had diarrhea, but they just sat there motionless. I passed by several times, and they were still doing the same thing."
"Hey, could there be treasure inside?"
"Go away, what kind of baby would be in that stinky toilet?"
…
The Lin family's old house is located in the center of Yamada Village. There are many villagers coming and going every day, so it has received a lot of attention.
Now that the work in the fields is not busy, the villagers like to go out for a stroll and chat with others. Look, their topic for today has already come up.
Since the news that rice fields can be used as fertilizer was announced, every household has built a toilet for their own use and for composting.
This toilet is a key place in every household.
If you want to turn your own fields into fertile land, you need a lot of these things. If you don’t have enough, you will have to target other people’s fields.
Therefore, the level of defense required to prevent others from stealing your manure is similar to that required to prevent others from stealing your house.
Farmers may not have money, but they will definitely have this thing.
But even if you like the fertilizer, there is no need to stay outside, right? The smell, wow!
"Brother Ji, the toilet at my house is empty. Do you want to go to my house?"
A villager who was familiar with Lin Anji shouted that he was not asking to use the toilet, but was really going to gossip.
Lin Anji's mind was focused on the toilet and he didn't hear anyone calling him at all.
"You are the most calculating person, you want others to give you fertilizer for free, without even considering whether they pay any attention to you or not."
Lin Anji didn't reply, but spoke in a sarcastic tone to the man named Shi Tou, who had a conflict with him.
Shitou and Lin Anji are good friends, and what he just said is no different from what Lin Anji says when they are together.
As for whether it was fertilizer or not, he really hadn't thought about that aspect, but when the man said that, it showed that he was greedy for other people's rice fields.
He subconsciously raised his foot and wanted to go to Lin Anji to explain to him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Anji ignored him and walked forward.
Shi Tou thought Lin Anji was angry, and before he could even finish his apology, he was interrupted by an excited voice.
"Dad! Mom! Look!"
Everyone present was attracted by Lin Bowen's shouting, and Shi Tou was no exception.
After just one glance, he silently turned his head away. Except for Lin Anji and his wife, the actions of everyone else were no different from those of the stone.
What Lin Bowen held in his hand was not a good thing.
It was a worm! A white worm as long as a noodle.
The villagers are very familiar with snakes, insects, rats and ants and are not afraid of them, but that doesn't mean they like them.
Especially when these bugs wriggle, let alone liking it, it’s a good thing you can resist feeling disgusted.
"vomit."
Some people started retching on the spot after seeing it clearly.
"vomit.
"vomit."
…
It was like a chain reaction. Once one person started retching, the villagers who originally didn't feel disgusted suddenly had their own ideas in their throats and started retching one after another.
The scene was indescribably spectacular.
Lin Anji was not at all disturbed by their vomiting. He was now looking at the insect in his son's hand with tears in his eyes.
Very good!
Very good!
It’s really great!
“Wuwuwu…”
To the villagers' surprise, the sturdy man suddenly burst into tears.
At first it was just a soft whimper, which slowly turned into crying, and the sound became louder and louder, with a tendency to get out of control.
The villagers who had been watching him wanted to laugh at him when they saw him crying, but when they saw him crying so hard, they suddenly couldn't say the words of ridicule.
They didn't know what had happened to Lin Anji that could make a simple guy who always smiled cry so hard...
A hint of joy amidst the sadness and pain?
A glimmer of hope amidst despair?
The emotions were too complicated for them to empathize with, but they knew that it was not appropriate for them to speak in this situation.
Whether it's good or bad, their intuition is that remaining silent is what they think they should do at this moment.
The crying sound grew louder, then softer, and slowly stopped, leaving only the unstable sobbing after the crying.
"Don't cry. If you have any problem, tell us. We will help you if we can. Things will eventually work out."
A kind-hearted villager in the crowd went over, helped Lin Anji up and comforted him.
This villager is a well-known kind-hearted person in the village. His name is Lin Ping'an. He will help anyone in the village who has problems.
He was often criticized behind his back by other people in the village for being "kind-hearted", including his wife and children, who always complained that he ignored his family's lives and rescued unrelated people. Because of this, there was always quarreling in his family.
A few years ago, he was among those who lent money to Lin Anru.
This matter was revealed to his family when the Lin family split up.
The consequence was that the angry family members exploded directly.
The rice jar at home is empty, and having no money to buy food is one thing.
But having money and lending it to others, leaving your family to starve, is that a human thing to do?
Has he ever thought about the hungry children at home?
Lin Ping'an's wife, unable to bear it any longer, had a fight with him, venting her anger while also trying to get her husband to tone down his "bad intentions".
Now when he sees others in trouble, he will still subconsciously help, but he will no longer ignore his family.
Otherwise, if Lin Ping'an encountered what happened today, the first thing he would do would be to pay the money, and then comfort the person.
After all, based on his many years of experience in life, he knew that the villagers encountered difficulties because of silver. As long as they paid the silver, the difficulties would disappear.
Lin Anji vented his anger and felt much better.
When he thought that his youngest son would not end up like his two deceased brothers and sisters, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
He stood up with the help of Lin Ping'an and looked up at the villagers around him. Thinking of his previous performance, his face flushed and he was extremely embarrassed.
His expression made the villagers laugh.
Seeing the villagers laughing, Lin Anji touched his head and started laughing too, as if the crying just now had never happened.
After laughing, the villagers asked Lin Anji what happened.
Everyone present pricked up their ears, waiting for Lin Anji's answer.
Lin Anji, who grew up in the village, also knows the villagers very well.
Among the crowd of onlookers, there were some who cared about him, but the vast majority were just there to watch the fun and gossip.
If it were the old him, knowing that everyone wanted to see the excitement in his house, he would have run away secretly.
But this time, he thought of what Sandi had said last night. He perked up, organized his words, and said:
