Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish
Chapter 224: Sharing Weal and Woe
Everyone has been through hardships together, and subconsciously regards everyone here as a group, but forgets the original intention of coming together.
Lin Xiaoyue's simple words "The road is wide and we can each go our own way" enlightened many worried people.
Yes, what were they arguing about? The girl just followed him halfway to seek medical treatment from Dr. Qiao.
Now that Old Man Qiao is gone, the doctor-patient relationship has long come to an end. It is normal for them to break up. Why should they stay tied together and make themselves unhappy?
Instead, the Niu couple looked at each other, their faces changed, and they looked very anxious.
After all, they are neighbors, and the Niu family and Lin Dashan's family are close to Lin Laosan's family, and they have taken good care of them in the past. Lin Xiaoyue kindly reminded them, "That night, they were attacked by bandits. As the night watchman, Xiaoqiao cannot escape blame for what happened. After all, although her father, Old Man Qiao, died to save others, Xiaoqiao is also responsible for it." The Niu family doesn't need to worry about this.
What they said is true, and other people may agree with it, but the Niu couple are both honest people, and it may be difficult for them to get over that barrier in their hearts.
But what Lin Xiaoyue said was equivalent to excluding Xiaoqiao from their team. It didn't make sense for the Niu couple to repay Old Man Qiao for saving their lives by bringing the entire team together to repay the favor.
After all, if Xiaoqiao hadn't caused trouble again and again, he would have attacked the hunter's wife in the swamp and sneaked away alone when everyone was surrounded and in danger by bandits.
No matter what her purpose is, since we can't share the joys and sorrows, there is no need to be tied to the same boat.
If you don't have any, you have to be on guard all the time, as you never know when someone might attack you for no reason.
In fact, everyone really didn't understand Xiaoqiao's train of thought. If she was targeting Luo Qianqian, there were still clues. At least, two women were fighting for one man. I've never seen or heard of such a play.
But it is really hard to understand why she attacked the hunter's young wife.
Xiaocao and Lin Zhaodi asked her why she did this. At first she pretended to be deaf and dumb and tried to get away with it, but was Lin Zhaodi's hot-tempered personality any better than hers?
They dragged her directly into the "mutton" meat cave, and she was immediately frightened to the point of crying for her parents and howling like a ghost. She almost died on the spot and told everything.
To be honest, I just couldn't stand Luo Qianqian. She was born in the town, was well-off, and had good conditions. We are all human beings. Why is she so noble just because she was born in the city?
Everyone: ...What a weird reason? Is being born in a town a nuisance to you?
Luo Qianqian: ...I thought that girl fell in love with Niu Tietou.
Lin Xiaoyue: Reincarnation is also a technical job.
As for the fact that he had done something evil to the hunter's wife, that was even more outrageous. He was jealous that she could do nothing, so he relied on her seductive face to seduce the hunter into doing anything for her.
Hunter Lin Quanshui: ...It is natural for me to love my wife, what does it have to do with her?
Everyone: ...This person might have some serious illness.
Lin Xiaoyue: Maybe there’s something wrong with his brain.
Doctor Qiao and Doctor Li: Brain problems cannot be cured and can only be rehabilitated in the next life.
Obviously, Xiaoqiao had been courting death a lot, and no one spoke up for her. Even the Niu couple pursed their lips and wiped their faces, as if they had made some decisions silently.
After resolving a troubling issue, the atmosphere became less depressing.
First, Li Zheng told everyone in detail what he had learned from the disfigured boy about the existence of other people in the village.
The boy was basically in a desperate situation and just wanted to find a way out. After the village head asked, he hesitated for a moment and then confessed the truth. A group of strong men from the mountain village had gone out to rob and have not returned yet. Although people were sent to look for them later, it was a pity that they still had no news after searching everywhere.
The village head asked the boy in detail how many people had gone out. The boy thought about it and told the truth, which was exactly the same as the number of the bandits they had encountered earlier.
To be on the safe side, the village head carefully compared the big knife taken out from the weapon hole in the cellar with the weapons they had taken from the robbers at that time, and confirmed that the group of people came from this mountain stronghold and there was no escape.
Only then did the village head heave a sigh of relief. He had the boy and other children taken away and locked up first. In the boy's uneasy look, he promised that as long as he didn't cause any trouble, he would release him after they left.
After all, the head of the village was still soft-hearted.
Faced with a group of still ignorant children, he still chose to give them a way out, hoping that the boy and other children could seize the opportunity, turn over a new leaf and start a new life.
Afterwards, everyone counted the supplies they had moved up from the cellar. In addition to the livestock in the shed on the ground, there were 1,722 taels of silver; rice, flour, miscellaneous grains, coarse grains, salt, wine, etc., totaling more than 10,000 kilograms; and all kinds of knives.
Since they couldn't just stay here, the mules and donkeys that could carry the load were taken out and divided.
Of course, considering that the Lin family and Doctor Qiao's grandparents had ox carts and mule carts, the village head first consulted the two families and used silver money to compensate. After obtaining their consent, he gave a mule to his family, Niu Laogen's family, and Lin Dashan's family respectively; and a donkey to Luo's family, hunter Lin Quanshui, Doctor Li, and Ergou.
Since Xiaocao recognized the Lin family as her godparent, she was not counted separately. Anyway, she would naturally have a share in the money that would be used to subsidize the Lin family. The village head believed that with the character of the Lin family, they would not treat this godparent who they recognized during the escape badly.
As for the two horses, they didn't share them. Farmers couldn't afford to keep them, and keeping them around would only bring disaster. So they simply left them to the disfigured child. He could decide whether to kill them for meat or keep them for transportation.
I just hope that this child will not let this opportunity go to waste, and take the remaining children away from here, find a place to change his identity, and live an upright life.
More than one thousand taels of silver. If it weren't for Lin Xiaoyue, such a strong fighter, who almost single-handedly withstood the devastating encirclement and suppression of the bandits last night, everyone would probably be dead by now. Now they can sit down and happily take over the "kingdom" that the bandits have fought for countless years. Everyone is so happy that they don't know what to do.
Therefore, the village head proposed that the Lin family should get the lion's share of the silver and money found in the bandits' cellar, and everyone agreed. If it weren't for the third daughter of the Lin family, they would have been able to divide the money, but they probably wouldn't even have had the chance to divide the paper money.
So, what can I say? I agree! I agree! I agree! All votes were passed, and they were all done willingly.
The Lins waved their hands repeatedly, saying that it was not possible and that everyone should just divide it equally. But they had no right to say "no" to something that everyone agreed to.
