Chapter 327 With surplus grain at home and money in the purse, nothing is a problem.
Upon hearing this, many fish thought, "Hey, good heavens, this fire is now burning him too?"
Could he tolerate this? Absolutely not!
Many fish held bamboo sticks in their hands, with an expression that said, "Even if the Heavenly King himself came, I would be the biggest boss." They said, "I am the foreman. Don't you know what a foreman is?"
"The foreman is the one who supervises your work, urges you on, and doesn't let you slack off."
Since he's supposed to supervise them, he certainly can't work himself; he's a very responsible foreman.
After saying that, he looked at Lin Chang'er and asked, "Mistress of the East, you agree, right?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled. This person was quite good at patting himself on the back.
However, as long as they don't cause trouble or create any problems, she should keep a close eye on these two and prevent them from causing any more mischief.
It's just an extra bowl of rice; she doesn't care about the money.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes, but if they run away or cause any trouble, I'll be coming after you!"
Many fish chuckled, their obsequious manner reaching the height of sycophancy, patting their chests, "Don't worry, boss! I'm an expert at judging people!"
Lin Chang'er nodded, then turned to Li Qiulan, "I know these old ladies better than you do. Just answer their questions; there's no point in beating around the bush!"
Li Qiulan wanted to cry but had no tears, what could she say?
Nothing I say will work, unless I reveal my little scheme to report this to the authorities.
But, is that something that can be said?
If I don't tell, I'll just be put in a difficult position; if I do tell, I'll only die faster, right?
No way, no way, my daughter and son are both ungrateful wretches, I can't count on them, the only one who's agreeable to me can't even take care of herself.
Li Qiulan steeled her heart, sat down on the ground with a thud, and burst into tears, "You, you are just slandering us, bullying us orphans and widows!"
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Lin Chang'er scoffed, "If God really has eyes, you'll be the first to suffer retribution."
“Yes, those bad people who bullied my mother! You’ll be the ones to suffer the consequences first.” Gu Xiaoman immediately chimed in.
The little goldfish stood beside Lin Chang'er, its eyes fixed on Li Qiulan and her son, like a keen wolf ready to pounce and subdue them at the slightest sign of trouble from them.
Li Qiulan and her son Li Da caused quite a scene in Linshui Village last time, which made them famous throughout the entire village.
Almost everyone in Linshui Village knows the ugly faces of the mother and son, and the plight of Li Chuan and his mother. In the past few days, everyone in the village who should know has learned about it.
In short, Li Qiulan and her son were unanimously considered in Linshui Village to be hardworking, mentally tempering themselves, and becoming "human beings."
So, when the other villagers heard this, they couldn't help but laugh and retort.
"You two, son and daughter, abuse your wife, children and sisters, mother mistreat your daughter-in-law and children. Neither you are human, and you still have the nerve to talk about retribution!"
"That's right, people like you will all be reborn as animals after you die."
"Even in this situation, you're still not thinking about working hard to pay off your debts, and you're just causing trouble for Chang'er. Honestly, if you ask me, you should sell yourselves to pay off your debts. Then the master can decide whether to beat or kill you, and you won't have the right to complain here!"
"So we say our Chang'er is too kind. Aside from the dirty work, which of us peasants hasn't done composting?"
"That's right, the food Chang'er gives us is all white flour steamed buns. We can't even get that every meal. If it weren't for our team having to train, I would have thought I'd just come and compost Chang'er's fields. Two steamed buns a meal, I can eat one myself and my wife and son can share one!"
"Hahaha, look at you, so pathetic!"
With surplus grain at home and money in the purse, most things become less of a problem.
So, after the villagers who came with them criticized Li Qiulan and her son, they suddenly started joking around.
Headmaster Chen was stunned, but he could also glean a lot of information from the conversation.
Several elderly women were eager to help him, and while they were talking, he managed to figure out the general idea.
Granny Zhou, fearing he might misunderstand Lin Chang'er, emphasized, "Our Chang'er didn't harm them. The former daughter-in-law and grandson of this family were almost beaten to death by her son, but our Chang'er saved them."
"The medical expenses alone will amount to several tens of taels of silver! Chang'er covered all of this money for me."
“Our Chang’er didn’t seize their house or land. She only signed a contract with them to pay off the debt with labor. Could there be anything more conscientious than this?”
Old Mrs. Huo also said, "That's right! If it were any other creditor, they would definitely force them to sell themselves to pay off their debts."
"That's right! This son of the family complained about the heavy work and was just throwing a tantrum in the field!" Granny Niu chimed in.
Chen Shanzhang stroked his beard.
Surprisingly, he originally had the utmost contempt for this kind of private, informal exchange.
But today, ever since he saw Li Da and his mother, he hasn't felt any resentment towards Lin Chang'er's actions.
Before understanding the reason behind it, I just felt that Chang'er must have had a reason for doing so.
After learning what happened, I felt even more strongly that the mother and son deserved it.
People like that deserve to be put in jail, since they don't have to work while in jail.
Exercising their muscles and bones is also a form of tempering for such scoundrels.
Furthermore, if they have something to do, these people won't have time to think about harming others!
If you have enough work to do, you won't have the energy to think about harming others!
He even thought Chang's "private punishment" was brilliant!
However, while the villagers here were all happy and harmonious, Li Qiulan and her son were suffering terribly.
When Li Qiulan saw that none of the villagers sympathized with them, she panicked.
Her eyes darted around, and suddenly she spotted Li Xun and Li Chuan in the crowd.
Li Qiulan's eyes lit up, and she scrambled to her feet. "Chuan'er, Grandma's here. Did you come to see Grandma?"
Then he pounced on Li Chuan.
Li Chuan was startled and almost instinctively hid behind Li Xun.
Although his aunt had arranged for his mother to divorce that man, the memory of being beaten in the past had not been erased. Hiding was almost muscle memory; however, in the past, he could only hide behind his mother and second uncle.
Now, it's Uncle Li Xun's turn.
However, Li Qiulan was unable to reach them.
As soon as she moved, the little goldfish immediately stepped to the side to block her path.
The villagers watched helplessly as he tried to stop the chariot, fearing he would be hurt. Why did they try to pull him away? But it was too late; Li Qiulan had already run into him. Now the villagers all closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the little guy being sent flying.
The next moment, a sweet, childlike voice rang out, accompanied by clapping, "Big brother is so amazing! The bad guy was knocked away!"
When the villagers opened their eyes again, they saw that the little goldfish was standing motionless in the same spot, while Li Qiulan had slumped back into her original position...
Li Qiulan felt as if she had bumped into a hard post, and was suddenly bounced back, falling back to the ground on her bottom. She stared at the baby in front of her in disbelief, unable to understand how she had been bounced back.
The little goldfish just glanced at her coldly, "Speak if you want to, don't get physical. Little Chuan'er's ears aren't fully healed yet!"
