Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The village head paused and asked Lin Xiaoyue in a deep voice, "Third girl, today's incident is big or small. You just said that your uncle wanted to sell you out and break your head. Do you have any evidence?"

"It was my uncle. It was my uncle who beat my third sister."

"My uncle used the bolt of our door to hit my eldest sister. We asked him to stop, but he kept hitting her. My third sister was bleeding."

The twins, Xiao Silin and Xiao Wulin, used their unique skills. Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to reply, they jumped in front of the head of the village to interrupt and show their presence.

Old Madam Lin stared at the two little kids fiercely and cursed: "What nonsense are you two short-lived ghosts talking about? What do you mean by uncle beating you? I think your third sister got hurt by accident. You put the blame on your uncle. You are really a bastard born by a father but not raised by a mother."

The two little kids, Lin Huanzhao and Lin Juezhao, were afraid of the majesty of old lady Lin. They were so scared that they immediately hid behind their second sister Lin Zhaodi, grabbing Lin Zhaodi's sleeves and trembling all over.

Everyone was even more disdainful of Old Mrs. Lin's words and actions. Why was she so fierce to two little kids? She was really living a stupid life at her age.

It is said that children's words are without restraint, and 5-year-old children are the most innocent and simple, without any hypocrisy or affectation. In addition, the way the third branch of the Lin family behaves in daily life, the village head naturally believes what the two children say.

Here, Lin Xiaoyue pinched her thigh secretly, sniffed, and choked up, "Grandpa Village Head, my uncle was very cruel when he beat me. There were only me and the fourth and fifth children at home at that time. When they saw my uncle beating me, they were so scared that they ran out to find our parents. When my uncle came, he kept saying that he would take me to the old house, and the person who wanted to buy me was waiting there, and he told me to go quickly. I think those people are probably still in the house now." As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue's gaze turned towards the main hall of the old house.

Following Lin Xiaoyue's gaze, there was no one in the main room through the wide-open wooden door. However, some sharp-eyed neighbors discovered that there seemed to be a few people hiding behind the door of the Lin family's old house.

When everyone turned their eyes to the old house of the Lin family, a few people who were hiding their heads immediately retracted their heads to watch the fun.

"I saw it. I saw it. It's behind the door."

"There's someone behind the door, the village chief, there's someone hiding behind the door!"

"There are quite a few of them. They are definitely not from Old Man Lin's family. All his family members are lying on the ground."

"Hahaha--"

I don’t know who in the crowd was so funny, but his words tickled the funny bones of many of the villagers who were watching the show, making everyone laugh.

The village head was closest to the Lin family's old house, so he naturally saw the figure hiding behind the door. He couldn't help but shout, "Who is behind the Lin family's door? Come out if you dare, or I'll have someone find you."

After a rustling noise, the people hiding behind the gate realized they could not hide any further, so they simply walked out openly. After all, they were not from Linjia Village, and they were not worried about what the villagers would do to them, the outsiders.

The leader was a middle-aged woman with a plump figure and revealing clothes. She had a heavily made-up face with a malicious smile on her face. She walked in a swaying manner, and from time to time she swung a silk handkerchief in her hand and made coquettish gestures. She looked like a prostitute. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that she was most likely a brothel owner from a brothel.

Behind the madam were five or six burly thugs with fleshy faces.

As soon as these people showed up, Li Zheng's faces turned gloomy, and he didn't give Old Mrs. Lin any chance to argue. The fact was obvious that Lin Xiaoyue didn't lie, and the old Lin family really wanted to sell their granddaughter who was separated from the family.

Once this matter gets out, the entire Linjia Village will become a laughing stock in the surrounding area. Who will dare to marry their daughter to Linjia Village in the future? Can the people of Linjia Village still hold their heads up high when they go out?

It was obvious that the head of the village and the neighbors who were watching had all thought of this. No one had expected that the Lin family was so despicable. They were simply so conscienceless and were the biggest stain on Linjia Village.

The village head was furious and yelled at Old Lady Lin, "What else do you have to say? You are so old and still can't make sense. You are doing something so stupid? Are you trying to throw the whole village's reputation into the stinking gutter?"

The madam who came out didn't even look at the head of the village and old lady Lin, who was being scolded by the head of the village. She looked back and forth at Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi who were still kneeling on the ground: Although they are a little thin, their facial features are still very good. If they are raised and trained well, they can become good seedlings.

The madam had certainly heard what was said outside the Lin family's old house just now. But for the madam, there was no crime of human trafficking. If this family had not been related to the Taohua Restaurant in the town and she had not persuaded them to sell the maid at a low price through her acquaintances, she would not have bothered to make this trip.

Tsk, do you really think she loves coming to this country place? There's an air of poverty everywhere. Country people are country people. Two taels of silver are not enough for the tips that the girls in the building earn in one night. What a bunch of poor bastards.

The madam showed her contempt on her face without any concealment, which made the village head so angry that the blood rushed to his head.

"Alright, alright, I originally agreed on two taels of silver, but how did you beat him up like this? He's injured like this and I'll have to take him back to nurse him back to health for a while, so I'll have to deduct the money for hiring a doctor and nursing him."

The madam didn't care about the lawsuit between the village head and Mrs. Lin. She just wanted to pay off the money as soon as possible and leave this poor country, lest she stay too long and get tainted with the air of poverty. "How about this, I'll take both girls, one and a half taels."

As she spoke, she waved her handkerchief and asked the thugs beside her to come forward and pay the money to Old Lady Lin.

In public, Mrs. Lin never imagined that her beloved silver would one day become so hot to the touch. She trembled as she looked at the silver coins forced into her hands, stammering, not knowing what to say.

"you dare!"

Li Zheng roared angrily and pulled Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi, who were kneeling on the ground, behind him, "Who said you want to sell these two girls? No one in our village would do such a thing. Go back to where you came from and get out."

"Yes, get out of Linjia Village, get out."

"Get out, get out."

Led by the head of the village, the villagers finally reacted and realized the seriousness of the situation. If these two girls were taken away from the village and sold to a brothel today, Linjia Village would have an indelible stain on its back.

How can girls in the village get married?

Which other family would marry their beautiful daughter to Linjia Village?

More than a hundred people present shouted together, the noise was absolutely huge and quite intimidating.

Old Mrs. Lin, who usually ran rampant in the village, finally realized that she had angered everyone. She handed the silver back to the madam with trembling hands, but the madam calmly responded with a sarcastic smile.
