With the secret of the commissary they guard together, the distance between Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi has been shortened a lot.
With money in hand, Chen Xiaomi is not in a hurry to make money anymore.
Because winter was approaching, Chen Xiaomi stopped looking for prey and gathered more firewood.
Chen Xiaomi heard from Lu Lin that this kang will be very warm in winter if it is burned, but it will be expensive.
Lu Lin, who watched Chen Xiaomi chopping firewood, once again saw Chen Xiaomi's strange power. As soon as Chen Xiaomi went down with the machete, the branch that was as wide as a man's hand was chopped off. Chen Xiaomi ran with the wood, and it was also very fast. Chen Xiaomi chopped three piles of firewood, but Lu Lin didn't finish one pile.
Chen Xiaomi knew that Lu Lin was a "son" from a "rich family" in his previous life, and he didn't know how to do farm work. It was not easy to do this. In addition, the money Lu Lin earned, and his tolerance for Lu Lin, It is very high.
The situation at the Chen family's side naturally aroused discussions among the villagers.
This is making new clothes and buying food. The villagers can't help but sigh that Orion is really quick to make money.
For a while, the villagers' interest in hunting in the mountains suddenly increased, but many people gave up because of the danger of going into the mountains.
It took Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin more than ten days to pack up the firewood. Lu Lin also dug some yams and mushrooms, and dug some bamboo shoots and kept them in the canteen.
The shelf life of mushrooms is not long. Under normal circumstances, they must be dried in the sun to preserve them. The same is true for yams. If the dug out yams are not eaten in time, they are prone to mold. However, if they are piled up in the canteen, there is no such concern.
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin took the time to build a kang for the old hunter Zhou Lao in the village.
After the old Orion Zhou became lame, whenever it rained, the place where his broken leg would hurt badly. Lu Lin said that repairing a kang would make him feel much better, so Chen Xiaomi was thinking about it.
Mr. Zhou didn't care much about the kang at first, but after it was really built, he liked it so much that he stayed on the kang all day, and he didn't even want to get off it.
Chen Xiaomi bought some more firewood for Mr. Zhou and piled it in the woodshed. Soon, the story of Kang spread in the village.
After a cold wave, the weather is much colder, and everyone is thinking about how to keep warm.
Soon, the news that Chen Xiaomi repaired a kang for Mr. Zhou spread in the village.
Orion Zhou's legs and feet are not working well, and Mr. Zhou has no land. Finally, he saved some money by hunting and selling mountain products in the past few years. Now he can finally exchange some food. I don't know how many years it will last.
Many people in the village would exchange grain with him for some money. After those people entered the house, they naturally noticed the kang in Zhou Orion's house.
Anyone who has been to Mr. Zhou's place knows that Mr. Zhou's place has a magical thing, which makes it very warm to sleep on.
For a while, there were a lot of people looking at the kang on the side of Zhou Orion, and sometimes the villagers were relatively simple. Most of the people who came to see the kang brought a handful of vegetables! Two eggs! A handful of rice! Or a load of firewood.
Although there are not many things, it is still a subsidy.
Those who come to see the kang must sit on the kang when they come.
For a while, Mr. Zhou's place was originally deserted, but for a while, customers came like a cloud, and the threshold was almost broken.
Knowing that the kang was built with the help of Chen Xiaomi, the villagers had different reactions.
In the impression of the villagers, Chen Xiaomi did all kinds of evil. Many villagers were surprised that Chen Xiaomi would do such a good thing.
After the news about Kang reached the Chen family, the Chen family became very angry.
The old lady of the Chen family scolded and cursed for a long time at home, non-stop scolding Chen Xiaomi for being a picky eater, who knows that if there is a good thing, it is cheap for outsiders.
The old man of the Lu family also went to the old Orion of Zhou to try the kang, and found it very warm.
After Mr. Lu tried it, his mind became active. Mr. Lu thought to himself: This kang was built by Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi together, so Lu Lin should know how to build this kang. Now this kang is passed down in the village. Over and over, which one is not greedy! If you have one at home, it will be very face-saving.
After making up his mind, Mr. Lu asked Lu Tong to go to Lu Lin, but Lu Tong returned without success again.
"Why didn't that brat come here!" The old lady was a little unhappy when she saw that Lu Tong came back alone.
When Lu Lin didn't come back during the busy farming season, the old lady was unhappy. Knowing that the old man had invited Lu Lin home to build a kang, the old lady thought it was time to stand up and educate Lu Lin, but she didn't expect that Lu Lin Don't want to come back at all.
"Didn't come back again?"
Lu Tong nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin doesn't want to come back. He also said that he won't. The kang was repaired by Chen Xiaomi, and he just helped."
The old lady snorted softly, and said: "Huh, why not? To put it bluntly, I'm still lazy. I haven't come back even once since I went out. I think he went out as a married man. He doesn't pay attention to the family members at all." inside."
The old lady felt that going on like this was not a problem, so she decided to go to Lu Lin.
…
When the old lady found Chen Xiaomi, Lu Lin was sleeping.
Lu Lin is actually a lazy and unmotivated person.
Because of the cold weather and no air conditioner, Lu Lin fell in love with sleeping in.
With money in hand, Chen Xiaomi didn't have to worry about winter food, and turned a blind eye to Lu Lin's behavior of sleeping in.
From Chen Xiaomi's point of view, Lu Lin was a scholar of a wealthy family in his previous life, and now he feels aggrieved as a married man.
He took such a big advantage of the other party, Lu Lin just slept a little longer, it's no big deal.
It's winter now, and it's time to relax.
Lu Lin was sleeping soundly, when he heard a loud noise, and when he went out, he saw Xiaocai and the old lady confronting each other.
The old lady lay on the ground, crying for a while, "I beat someone, I killed someone."
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaocai and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Xiaocai frowned, and said: "This old woman curses as soon as she enters the door. I hit her once, and she lay down on the ground and couldn't get up."
Lu Lin rolled his eyes and thought to himself: The old lady is so paralyzed on the ground that she can't get up, she might be extorting money. Touch porcelain ah!
On Chen Xiaomi's side, after a while, many people gathered.
Lu Lin looked at a few spectators and felt a little puzzled. The ones here are more biased. I don't know when these people came here. Maybe they came together because they saw that the old lady was coming to make trouble.
"You're an unfilial thing! My second child, look at what kind of son you gave birth to."
"Second brother, you gave birth to a son to beat me!"
"Second, look at your son! If you marry a twin, you won't recognize your grandparents, and you won't even go home! All the good things are given to outsiders!"
…
Mrs. Wang was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. Seeing more and more people watching the excitement, Mrs. Wang's crying became more and more open.
Chen Xiaomi was not there, and several villagers looked at Lu Lin and whispered.
…
After a while, Li Zheng was also invited.
"Boy Lin, what's going on?" Li Zheng asked.
Lu Lin said calmly: "My grandma came to the house to steal things, but Xiaocai found out and beat her a few times."
As soon as Lu Lin's words came out, Wang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be half dead, almost jumped up.
The people watching the excitement around were talking all of a sudden, stealing things is a big deal in the countryside, and being caught would be a stab in the back.
Wang stared at Lu Lin fiercely, "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Lin looked at Mrs. Wang, and said in a good voice, "Grandma, I went out as a married woman, and the family took millet ten taels of silver. You can't just see that millet has made more money and feel that you are at a disadvantage. Come and steal it! Lobby Brother is a scholar, if you do this, it is not good for Brother Datang!"
What Lu Lin said was sincere and sincere, Chen Xiaocai couldn't help giving Lu Lin a weird look.
Chen Maimai ran out when he heard the movement, grinned when he heard Lu Lin's words, and said, "Steal something, steal something."
Hearing Chen Maimai's shout, Lu Lin immediately felt that Chen Maimai's words fit well! In the eyes of the villagers, Chen Maimai was stupid, and what he said was definitely not a lie.
Lu Lin decided that when the family left, he would steam a bowl of his favorite egg custard for Mai.
When Lizheng heard Chen Maimai's words, his face turned livid with anger.
Hearing Lu Lin say ten taels of silver, and hearing that Mrs. Wang stole things, the villagers were suddenly excited.
Many people in the village spend seven to eight taels of silver for a year of busy work. This ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money! It's not right for the Wang family to take such a big advantage and still feel dissatisfied!
Wang stopped crying and looked at Lu Lin viciously.
Lu Lin lowered his head with a sincere look on his face.
Looking at the expressions of the people around her, Wang was both angry and anxious, "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I'll strangle you to death."
"Grandma, my father was killed in battle, my mother was exhausted, and I got married and left. Our second house is extinct. If you come to steal Xiaomi's money, won't you drive me to a dead end?"
After hearing what Lu Lin said, the villagers began to criticize the Wang family. It is a big deal to have an extinct family in this place.
Everyone believed Lu Lin's words. After all, in the eyes of the villagers, Lu Lin was an honest man who worked hard. If he was not too honest, he would not end up being married off by his family, not to mention what Lu Lin was like when he went out. , the villagers also know.
Chen Xiaomi has such a bad temper! If Mrs. Wang really took the money away, then Lu Lin would definitely be beaten, maybe he would be beaten to death.
Lizheng looked at Wang Shi and said, "Have you had enough trouble, why don't you get up quickly."
"Killed, grandson slandered grandma." Wang lay on the ground, howling heart-piercingly.
Lu Lin listened to Wang's howling, but did not express his opinion.
Li Zheng gave Lu Lin a meaningful look, and said, "A Lin, although you married Chen Xiaomi, you are still from the Lu family."
Lu Lin took a look at Lizheng, and said, "Uncle Zhang said that before, I was sick, and my family even spent a tael of money to treat my illness. After all, I still can't bear to part with me."
The villagers looked at Lu Lin and thought to themselves: Lu Lin is still too honest. It only cost one tael to see a doctor, and you can get ten taels if you sell it. If it wasn't for the money, how could the Lu family treat Lu Lin
With a sullen face, Li Zheng gave Lu Lin a cool look, and said, "It's good that you understand."
Lizheng asked someone to take Wang away, and the rest of the people dispersed because they were afraid that Chen Xiaomi would come back and make trouble.
The news that Mrs. Wang went to Chen's house to steal something and got the child from Chen's family beaten quickly spread in the village.
When Mrs. Wang returned to Lu's house, Mr. Lu slapped him across the face.
Mrs. Wang was used to being arrogant at home, and she was suddenly slapped, and immediately became very angry.
No matter how Wang explained that he didn't steal the money, his family members didn't believe him.
Many people in the village knew that Chen Xiaomi sold wine for a lot of money in the town, and so did Mrs. Wang.
Tang often heard the old lady scold him. When Chen Xiaomi said ten taels of silver, he should bargain again. At least he should have said fifteen taels. possible.
