In the evening, Lin Xiaoman went to Lin Daqiang's house and told Lin Daqiang why Yao Dagen was beaten today and why they did not collect the hazelnuts from Yaojiacun.

Lin Daqiang slapped the table and cursed for a while, then comforted him: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will go to Yaojia Village tomorrow to talk to the Yao clan leader. If he wants to protect Yao Dagen, I will go to the county magistrate to sue him.

Don’t follow you, a girl from another family. From now on, if you harvest hazelnuts, just harvest them at our house. Let’s see who dares to run wild in our house!”

Ever since Lu Jin called Lin Daqiang uncle at the wine table that day, Lin Daqiang's energy and demeanor have changed. He behaves like a county magistrate and he is good to him wherever he goes. The chiefs of several nearby villages have seen him again.

He didn't even dare to look down upon it.

Although Lin Xiaoman found it funny, he also agreed with Lin Daqiang's approach, "Uncle Daqiang, take a few more people with you when you go tomorrow. We must build up the momentum and we can't let them be frightened by the large number of people."

"Don't worry about it, I know it well." Lin Daqiang chuckled twice and did not tell Lin Xiaoman his plan, but he obviously had an idea in mind.

On the second day, Lin Xiaoman knew what he did. Lin Daqiang went to see Peng Guancha early in the morning, borrowed two official commissaries from him, and went to Yaojia Village with a few cousins ​​who had just returned to the village.

Obviously, this trip to Yaojia Village made him feel very proud. When he came back, he asked Lin Xiaoman to prepare a table of good food to entertain the officials who came to the village to help.

Everyone ate and drank, and explained clearly what Lin Daqiang encountered during his trip.

"When the Yao clan leader met your two official uncles, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. Before I could say anything, he said that he would come to apologize to you. He even asked someone to call Yao Dagen. Who could

I knew he was lying on the bed pretending to be dead and refused to come, so Patriarch Yao had people drag him here. He did all the tricks in front of us, for twenty minutes, I felt pain for Yao Dagen just watching him."

As he said that, he raised his glass and saluted the officials, "I would like to thank my brothers for their help this time. I'll do it first as a token of respect."

Lin Xiaoman also expressed his thanks, "Xiaoman thanks my uncles here."

As for whether Yao Dagen was pretending to be ill, she thought that although her legs were still tight, she would never be able to get up unless she lay down for ten days and a half. This time she received another twenty blows, which would cost her most of her life.

Several officials laughed and said, "I can't help you much. Brother Daqiang and niece Xiaoman, you are too polite."

As we talked, the names changed, and the relationship became closer.

In the next few days, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu nailed out the frame for holding soil together, dug some soil in the field, and mixed in some fertilizer soaked in the ground.

The two main rooms and the two side rooms are filled with frames filled with earth, both on the kang and on the floor.

I also made several multi-layered shelves so that the frames can be stacked and placed, which can save a lot of space.

I sprinkled the vegetable seeds I bought there into the soil and poured some water. The two siblings squatted and watched every day when they had nothing to do, as if they couldn't smell the smell of farmyard manure in the house.

Three days later, I saw seedlings emerging from the soil. In the next few days, the seedlings grew rapidly.

The weather is getting colder, and with the cotton-lined quilt, I don’t feel cold at all. However, a fire is added to the room where the vegetables are grown from time to time to ensure that the indoor temperature will not be too low, which will affect the growth of the vegetables.

The stone house by the river will take some time to be repaired. Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu discussed it and planned to take a trip to Laian County next door.

There is a river terminal in Lai'an County, and nearly half of the people rely on the terminal for food and clothing. People in Lai'an County are also wealthier than Qingping County.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu's aunt He Tiantian married into a family named Zhang there. After many years of marriage, they gave birth to four daughters, and they were often looked down upon by their mother-in-law.

He Tiantian and Lin Xiaoman's mothers are twin sisters. They have looked alike since childhood, and their relationship is better than that of their other siblings.

It takes more than two hours to go from the village to Lai'an County by horse-drawn carriage. In the past, when his parents were alive, He would take Lin Xiaoman and his brother there every one or two months to visit relatives.

, and then go to Laian County Wharf to buy some things shipped from other places.

This is why no one believed Lin Xiaoman when she took out the chili peppers and said they were bought by her mother.

After their parents passed away last year, He Tiantian visited them a few times, but every time he was made angry by Mrs. Lin's accusations and scoldings. After that, he didn't come often, and he didn't even visit them once in more than half a year.

Lin Xiaoman came to He Tiantian for another purpose besides helping her home with a few kangs.

He Tiantian and her mother are twin sisters, and they look exactly alike. Since Mrs. Lin refuses to admit that she killed her mother, can she use the high-tech methods over there to make a video to scare Mrs. Lin?

I heard from Goudan that his mother has been suspicious lately. If she were to see the person she killed appear in front of her again, the old lady might have a mental breakdown and find out how to kill her mother.

Even if you can't force her to do anything, you can still scare her.

Knowing that the old aunt's life at her husband's house was not easy, she couldn't go empty-handed to see Zhang's family. Lin Xiaoman prepared half a fan of pork, two bottles of wine, two live chickens, and two bottles that were sold at Shopkeeper Feng's.

Very good cream.

I made an appointment with Handlebar Shih the day before and asked him to deliver the things he needed to use today into the city the first day. Early this morning, before dawn, Handlebar Shih was waiting outside the door.

Helping Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu load the things they wanted to bring into the car, with a flick of the whip, the carriage drove towards Laian County.

More than an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the county seat of Lai'an County. Compared with Qingping County, there were many more people coming in and out, and even the city gate was several feet higher than the city gate in Qingping County.

Many vehicles transporting river fresh food from the pier passed by in a hurry, and the voices of passers-by in front of them never stopped.

Lin Xiaoman and his family had been brought to Lai'an County by the handlebar in the past. He remembered exactly where He Tiantian's mother-in-law's house was. As he walked, he kept saying: "Your aunt has not been to our village since the spring of this year.

I don’t know if her family is afraid that you will get involved, so they don’t let her come. You two siblings hide your secrets and don’t say anything to her family.”

My aunt was very close to her family when her father and mother were there. It was true that after her father and mother had an accident, they came less and less, and then they stopped coming.

But Lin Xiaoman doesn’t think He Tiantian is afraid that they will get involved. Maybe something is holding him back?

But she also understood the kindness of Handlebar Shih, "Well, don't worry, Uncle Handlebar Shih, I know it well."

I stopped talking about the handlebar position, and just sighed silently. In the past, when their parents were alive, the siblings were so well-raised. In just over a year, they have forced their children to do everything.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, he saw that the door was closed. Lin Xiaoman gave Chaozi fifty cents and asked him to go to the carriage shop in front to have a rest. If he was hungry, he could have lunch there.

Xiangzi took the money and was happy, "Okay, I'm not going anywhere, I'll wait for you at the carriage shop."

After saying that, I unloaded everything from the car and then drove the car to the carriage shop.

Lin Xiaoman stepped forward and knocked the door knocker. After a while, a question came from inside: "Who is outside?"
