The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Seeing this, Lin Jiang touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Okay, I'll explain."

He said, "It's not so easy to get the money from the government. My eldest brother and second brother alone captured more than 20 bandits. The people in the government won't believe it easily and will definitely ask for the inside story. If we can't explain it well, not only will we have no credit, but we may also be charged with defrauding the government, which will really be a punishment. So I thought of this. It was inconvenient to talk at the time and there was no extra time to discuss. I only had time to tell my eldest brother a simple story, saying that our family used drugs to knock out the bandits. Otherwise, there were no scars on the bandits and my brother's bodies from fighting, which would not make sense. With this excuse, as long as I can fool them, I can explain to the government, and secondly, it can also solve the doubts in the hearts of the villagers."

Mrs. Lin suddenly realized, "No wonder you were running back and forth in the middle of the night. It turned out that you were fiddling with the torch and applying the drug? You used the little bit of drug your eldest brother had left over from hunting?"

You know what, they really did have some animal drugs at home, but there wasn't much left and it had been gathering dust in the corner of a cabinet for three or four years.

If we really talk about the medicinal properties, even mice won’t be knocked out after eating it.

Tapping the smiling youngest child's forehead with her finger, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or scold him, "How dare you! I'm afraid that the coroner is not skilled enough and you really fooled him!"

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "As long as the drugs are found in the ashes of the torches, we won't be considered to have lied. As for the strength of the drugs, the government won't ask us to burn the drugs again so that they can smell them for confirmation, right? We don't have any extra drugs, right? Besides, it's true that we captured more than 20 bandits. They were tied up and piled up under our courtyard wall. As long as the situation makes sense, the government cannot deny the credit. In addition, the government will definitely interrogate the bandits. The only thing about the drugs is the drugs. The bandits can't say anything that is unfavorable to us."

Lin Erhe, standing by, clasped his hands in admiration, "The more you read, the more flexible your mind is. Third brother, as your elder brother, I am very impressed this time."

Lin Jiang waved his hand modestly, "Second brother, don't praise me so much. It was only because my eldest brother believed what I said and cooperated without asking any questions that we were able to pass the test."

Lin Dashan laughed, "How can I not trust my own brother? As long as you ask, I will definitely not give you a kick."

The three women were speechless for a moment as they watched the three brothers becoming so respectful to each other.

They were surprised and happy all night, and now that the matter was settled, they were still scared. How did the three men in the family remain unaffected?

Zhang Cui'e grinned, pinched the back of her man's hand with one hand, and smiled with a fake smile, "Now that you have explained the matter of the drug, can you tell me how you and big brother fell in the yard? My sister-in-law and I are curious, and so is mother."

Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe froze and looked at each other, "..."

If they mention this, then they really don’t know.

You can't make it up.

For unknown reasons, he suddenly lost consciousness while confronting the bandits.

When he woke up, he somehow became a hero who captured bandits.

In a nutshell, it's incomprehensible.

Bai Xiang nestled in A Niang's arms, yawned loudly, and fell asleep with his eyelids drooping.

She did it all. She knocked the bandits unconscious and added the evidence to the torch used by the coroner...but she couldn't say anything.

Grandma and her parents didn't know it was her credit, and they were very unhappy.

Ugh……

Knowing that she would not get anything out of this matter by dwelling on it, Mrs. Lin gave up and stopped worrying about it. As long as the family was still safe and sound, it was a great thing.

"It will be dawn soon. We are all very sleepy. Let's go back to our rooms and rest. Tomorrow we will go to your third grandmother's house and carry the old man back. We also need to go to the pharmacy in town. We have run out of ginseng slices at home. We need to buy some more and prepare some New Year's goods."

With the fifteen taels of silver as a reward, the family feels much more relaxed and can have a better New Year's Day today.

There was a smile on Mrs. Lin's face, and the sadness in her eyes faded a lot.

In a blink of an eye, I am thirteen years old.

During these two days, the whole town and surrounding villages seemed particularly lively.

As the government issued another notice, the news that Yuxi Village had successfully captured the bandits spread, causing a sensation among the people.

The heavy dark clouds that had been pressing down on their heads were finally cleared away, revealing the sun. The reputation of the Lin brothers spread far and wide.

There was joy everywhere.

The Lin family also celebrated the New Year happily.

After calculating that she would have some extra money after paying for the medicine, Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and bought some extra pork belly when shopping for New Year's goods. She used two taels of it as stuffing for dumplings, and used the rest to make two bowls of braised pork with sauce.

The kids at home have hardly had any meat in the past two years, so they are going to indulge themselves during the New Year.

In this regard, Mrs. Lin will not be stingy as long as she can afford it. Whatever she eats goes into her family's stomach, so it is not a loss.

Steamed lotus root dumplings, pounded glutinous rice cakes, ground rice cakes...

Making rice cakes, dumplings, steamed pork with pork belly…

Bai Xiang was running around in the kitchen, and all sorts of aromas wafted into her little nose, making it impossible for her to walk, and her saliva kept drooling.

Just as greedy as her was the slightly older dog Dahuang. When the child and the dog sat side by side, they looked exactly the same with their greedy eyes.

The two brothers Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai were cunning. They hung around the stove all day long and stole things when the adults were not paying attention.

A small piece of fried oil residue, a handful of roasted sesame seeds, a piece of freshly made rice cake rolled up with chopsticks, and a piece of salty and fragrant glutinous taro... While stealing any of them, he never forgot his sister, nor did he forget the family dog, which was one of the heroes in their family's fight against bandits.

The adults pretended not to notice anything and were busy preparing the New Year's dinner.

"These things are so delicious. If I had so many delicious foods every day, I would be as happy as a god!" Lin Huaibai wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, smacked the remaining salty and fragrant taste of taro in his mouth, and said in a connoisseur-like manner.

Bai Xiang immediately shook her head after hearing this. She didn't know what a god was. She just wanted delicious food. "If there were so many delicious foods every day, I wouldn't want to be a god."

Lin Huaibai agreed, "Sister is right. If I could eat like this every day, I wouldn't be a god!"

The women laughed, the little kid didn't know how to worry about life, but he dared to think.

Lin Jiang had a problem with his right hand, so he sat in front of the stove and worked as a fireman, the easiest job.

After listening to the children's childish talk, he smiled, and his eyes and eyebrows exuded a kind of high spirits that were rarely seen in normal days. "After the New Year, I will also plan to make money. If I can make a good income, I will buy delicious food for you guys."

"You want to make money? What for?" Mrs. Lin asked without hesitation. Li Sulan and Zhang Cui'e also looked up at their brother-in-law, with surprise in their eyes.

In the past, whenever my brother-in-law mentioned working to earn money, he always looked bitter. Why did he suddenly become like a different person today and not feel bitter at all?
