Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Lin Xiaoyue didn't care whether they were so angry that they wanted to kill her with their eyes. She pointed at the few people who were talking the loudest just now and said to the officers and soldiers, "Sir, it was this, this, this, and these few who instigated the others to cause trouble. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people around you. I believe that the eyes of the masses are sharp."

The people Lin Xiaoyue pointed out were Yang Suizui and Li Quezi, who were the most arrogant and had forced the head of the village a moment ago, as well as several other villagers who were in collusion with them. They looked a little unfamiliar, so Lin Xiaoyue could hardly recognize them, but she thought they were of the same character as Yang Suizui and his wife. Therefore, she was ruthless when she tricked these people.

"Lin Sanya, you bitch, do you know that saying these things will kill us?"

Yang Suizui and his companions, who were lying on the ground and peeking at their movements out of the corner of their eyes, were pointed out one by one by Lin Xiaoyue. Immediately, the blood rushed to their heads and they felt like they were about to explode. They roared in rage, not caring that the officers and soldiers were pointing spears at them.

This bitch is going to kill them!

Lin Xiaoyue laughed, "So you guys know that talking nonsense can get you killed. When you jumped out and tried to rob us, I thought you were a bandit."

When they repeatedly condemned the village head, weren't their sharp words hurtful? They even filed a complaint with the government. Oh, they were really capable.

When the officers and soldiers shouted at them and pulled them down, they did not forget that Larry was going into the water.

What? They were allowed to go crazy and bite anyone they saw, but she was not allowed to put up a little resistance?

That's right. Lin Xiaoyue saw that the official's attitude was obviously biased towards them after he whispered to the team leader, so she fought back without fear and recklessness.

She was not a very tolerant person. Even if these people were only targeting the head of the village, their eyes of looting clearly swept across all the livestock, including her mule.

She was a very stingy person, but she had not forgotten that Yang Suizui had brought bad luck to their family (Chapter 56). Now was a good time to settle both old and new accounts together, so as to avoid being treated as a soft persimmon and being bullied at will.

Moreover, she could see that even after experiencing that farce, the village head still couldn't really bear to blame the villagers of Linjia Village, so he chose to let it go lightly.

It doesn't matter. If the head of the village can't do it, she will do it. She is the best at killing chickens to scare monkeys. Instead of doing things secretly, it is better to put it in the open and see who can win.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, the official immediately called people over, and one by one, they covered the person's mouth and dragged him away, without giving him any chance to beg for mercy.

Just kidding, even though more than 200 people are gone, but a little bit adds up to a lot, and it's better than working in vain, right?

As for refusing to be arrested.

Haha, let’s try to resist. Anyway, Lin Xiaoyue didn’t realize that these people, apart from bullying their own people, have no other abilities and can only talk big.

After the few people who were leading the charge and shouting the loudest were dealt with, the rest, whether they were frightened or had the desire but not the courage, no longer dared to show up again.

When Lin Xiaoyue saw the head of the village glaring at her unhappily, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the head of the village would get angry and choose to lift her up high and then let her down easily, blaming her for being narrow-minded.

In fact, Lin Xiaoyue was just overthinking. She had been escaping all the way here, and she had experienced all kinds of dangerous situations. What about the Holy Father? Even the Holy Father would have stood up.

Seeing that there was nothing for her to do around, she quietly retracted her thorns and sat down at the foot of the city wall to tease the silly mule to eat dried radishes.

As for those who were no longer looking for trouble, the head of the village and the remaining villagers soon started chatting again. Even Old Man Lin and other people who came out of Linjia Village gathered together and chattered. It seemed that the remaining people had not only become more honest, but also spoke in a much more restrained manner.

The head of the village and Old Man Lin thought it over and decided to give one-third of the food carried on the backs of the animals to the refugees.

They couldn't afford to give more, but they thought they were doing their part. The food was enough to keep everyone from starving to death before they moved to a new place and settled down.

The kind deeds of the village head and others, without regard for past grudges, not only made the remaining refugees' eyes tear up, but they all covered their faces with their hands or wiped their tears, sobbing and apologizing for their previous impulsiveness.

Everyone waved their hands and didn't care, it was all caused by hunger.

Understood.

If Lin Xiaoyue hadn't led them along the way, they would have ended up like most refugees, forgetting their bottom line because of stuttering.

But as human beings, the village head hopes that they should be down-to-earth. Otherwise, when they arrive at the new place, the indigenous people there will not tolerate their reckless behavior.

As for these people wanting to ask the village head to take them with him, the village head shook his head, indicating that he was powerless. The settlement fee alone was more than thirty taels per person, and these refugees all had families with them. The village head could not help them, even if he had to spend all his money.

Ergou didn't know how he talked to the head of their village.

Anyway, when Lin Xiaoyue was teasing her mule to the point that it was about to kick up a fuss, she was suddenly surrounded by a dozen people. When she looked up, she saw that it was Ergou who was leading the head of their village and the villagers.

Lin Xiaoyue was confused.

The other party, headed by the village head, greeted her in a familiar manner. Then, he talked about how some villagers in his village were divided into several villages under Wanbao Town, and hoped to have occasional contact with them in the future for Ergou's sake and take care of each other.

He also respectfully thanked Lin Xiaoyue and asked her to take good care of Ergou in the future.

Lin Xiaoyue was confused when she heard this. What was going on?

Ergou frankly expressed in front of his fellow villagers his desire to sign a long-term contract with the Lin family and work for them.

Lin Xiaoyue was confused. What kind of long-term contract was she signing? Who could tell her what was going on?

Ergou's hesitant explanation was that when his mother was still alive, she felt that her son was too stupid and that if he followed the Lin family he would see more, hear more, learn more, and his brain would become more active.

Okay, so it was Er Gou’s mother’s intention.

Ergou even brought his mother out, and Lin Xiaoyue understood the reason.

Unexpectedly, Ergou's mother was really worried about her son. She had already planned a long-term future for her son while fleeing the famine.

However, Lin Xiaoyue did not immediately agree to sign a long-term contract.

Although she did not reject this form of contractual employment, it was just like a modern labor contract, signed for 5 or 10 years, and it was not an indenture. Lin Xiaoyue did not have much objection to this.

But it’s too early to say anything, so let’s wait until things settle down before discussing it.

Ergou was feeling uneasy because he knew Lin Xiaoyue was a very exclusive person.

Although he and his mother were pulled into the team by Lin Xiaoyue, it does not mean that they were truly accepted by her.
