Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Grandpa Lin didn't expect that the other party's family education was so strict.

If he refused to accept it, would these good guys be punished again when they returned? But if he accepted it, he would feel uncomfortable.

After thinking it over and over again but still unable to come to a solution, he simply opened the door, let the young men in, and asked the five men who had had friction with them yesterday to come out. The two sides talked it out face to face, with gongs and drums.

By the way, I'd like to ask if Chun Xing has any ointment for healing injuries.

My grandfather is like this, with the simplicity of a country farmer ingrained in his bones.

He can be cruel to evil people, such as bandits and the Luo family; but he can also be soft-hearted towards people who admit their mistakes and correct them, such as the seven people who came to him offering to apologize.

After a long delay, the seven people entered the front hall one after another.

Under the curious and inquiring gazes of several people in the hall, seven strong men, holding a bunch of gifts in their hands and looking extremely uncomfortable, followed Grandpa Lin in.

Hearing the voice, Lin Xiaoyue raised her head from the bowl of noodles, took a deep look, said nothing, and continued to sip her noodles with her head down.

It seemed as if the delicious noodles in front of him were more attractive than the people coming.

Grandpa Lin gave Old Man Lin, who was looking around curiously, a reassuring look to indicate that everything was okay.

It's indeed okay.

He brought the people in just to get the five people who went out to open the door yesterday to come over and make things clear with them. He had already accepted 700 taels of silver from them yesterday, and today, he could not accept this so-called apology no matter what.

People should still have a conscience. They should take what is theirs with a clear conscience. They should not be greedy for what is not theirs.

Grandpa asked them to sit in the hall for a while and he went outside to call someone over.

Seven grown men stood upright with the heavy gifts in their arms, their eyes drifting around unconsciously, occasionally falling on the bowls held by two little girls who were slurping noodles at the table.

Listening to the slurping sound of noodles, the unique aroma of food in the air, and the smell of wine spreading from somewhere, the stomachs of the few people who came here after lunch... seemed to be hungry again.

The seven people all thought at the same time: After all, she is a girl, and it is very impolite to suck noodles so loudly. But... just by listening to the sound, why does it feel so delicious?

"Did you guys miss lunch? Would you like to..." have something?

According to Lin Dahua, if someone comes to our house, he or she is a guest, and the other party seems to be very sincere, with a lot of gifts in his hands. Even if we ask politely, it will be considered a courtesy.

She really, really was just asking out of politeness, but unexpectedly, the seven people opposite her nodded in unison, which... made her embarrassed.

This person is really thick-skinned, which is really admirable.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it.

The seven people swallowed their saliva, and only one thought flashed through their minds, that is, to have a bowl of the same noodles. But except for Lin Xiaoyue who was still slurping the noodles, everyone else stared blankly at the seven non-vegetarian guests.

There was silence for several breaths, and the seven people's hearts were pounding. They seemed to come to their senses and shook their heads violently like rattles.

Several people:……

What does it mean to nod and shake your head?

No, we are not here to eat, we are, we are... The seven people were at a loss and looked at Sun Wanjin in confusion: Young Master, this direction is very wrong.

Sun Wanjin: Don’t ask me, how would I know?

Just when the atmosphere fell into a weird awkwardness, Grandpa Lin came back with the five people who had been digging the pit: Lin Baotian, Lin Shuqin, Lin Dashan, Lin Xiaoshan, and the hunter Lin Quanshui. Oh, not only that, but they were followed by a long line of curious and uneasy female relatives.

A large group of people rushed into the spacious front hall, and the stagnant atmosphere in the hall eased a little for a moment.

Under the curious gazes of everyone, Grandpa Lin coughed twice, told everyone the purpose of the seven people's visit, and then quietly retreated to the back, acting as a background with the others, leaving the main stage to the few people who had friction.

The seven of them had seen big scenes before, but they occasionally had conflicts with other local bosses, and the fighting between the two sides was never as tense as it is now.

Especially when they were surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside the venue, all eyes were cast on them, and every eye was incredibly bright, as if saying: Let's watch a show.

Thinking that he would be stabbed if he stuck his head out, or if he hid his head, he would be stabbed. Sun Wanjin closed his eyes and bravely went to die. Oh no, he apologized decisively.

"I'm sorry, we were reckless yesterday. Please forgive me." He spoke very quickly and the content was unclear, but those who should understand understood it.

With the young master taking the lead, the apology from the six guards behind him went on much more smoothly.

The front hall was completely silent, filled with shock, astonishment, and a hint of bewilderment.

Wasn’t the seven hundred taels settled yesterday?

The seven people thought that since it had come to this, they should make a quick decision and without waiting for the other party to respond, they placed the apology gifts on the empty table next to them, bowed decisively, and turned to leave.

……

Wait a minute. Hey.

The five people finally came to their senses from the shock and hurried forward to hold the seven people who were about to step out of the door. "Brother, brother, this is not right. What happened yesterday is over. We really can't accept these things. It's a shame."

"Yes, yes, it's just a misunderstanding, just clear it up."

"We are new here, it is fate that we meet. Come, brother, sit, sit, come and sit."

"Yes, yes, once you come to our door you are a guest. Let's not talk about what happened yesterday. Since you are here, just sit down and have a glass of water."

"I apologize for the poor hospitality."

The style of painting changed so quickly that the seven people couldn't recover for a while.

It turns out these people aren't difficult to get along with.

The Lin family cannot hear the inner voices of these people. If they could, they might be able to answer them. We are all honest people. If someone respects me an inch, I will respect them ten feet. Who would make enemies everywhere for no reason?

Seven people who made enemies everywhere for no reason: ...We were wrong.

No idea how it developed, but a group of people suddenly started chatting together, especially the people from the Lin family, who became more and more enthusiastic, to the point where their enthusiasm almost made the seven people think they had walked into the wrong door and entered a brothel.

Everyone in the Lin family: These are the first group of guests who came to visit them after they settled down. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. How can they not be happy?

Although there was some friction, it was a trivial matter that happened every day in the village. Not to mention that they benefited from San Yatou's help yesterday, but the fact that these people came with so many gifts today was enough to show their sincerity.

No, no, I have to think about what to give in return.

Although they said they couldn't accept it, it was obvious that these people would not take back the things they brought.

Alas, the people in this town really don't know how to live. Look, look, it's already this late, and they're still bringing so many things to visit. All kinds of fabrics, soap shoes, sets of blankets, rice, flour, these are all the best and most valuable things.
