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

It's that January herb selling time again.

The villagers gathered together, sold the herbs, counted the money they earned, and went home happily.

At this time, there were many women and old women gathered together, so naturally there was a lot of gossip.

It is inevitable to talk about the new things that have happened recently.

"The patient that Doctor Yu sent here before has been cured. He can now go out for a walk. People living at the end of the village often see him."

"I don't know what disease that person has. He didn't go to a big city to seek treatment from a famous doctor, but came to our remote place."

"What do you mean by a poor and remote place? We are not poor now. People from other counties envy our Yuxi Village so much! Hey, let me tell you something mysterious, please don't spread it. Our Yuxi Village may really be blessed by a goddess! Otherwise, how come only our village can grow Baixiang grass? The young master of the Yan family was sick when he first came and stayed in the village for a year. Hey, is he better now? The one that Doctor Yu brought here, hey! Is he better now too?"

Granny Li was walking at the back, and when she heard the gossip, she immediately squeezed in, "Let me tell you, the man that Doctor Yu brought here is said to be a high-ranking official! The general in the capital! And, the crazy old woman with white hair who lives in the Yan family, it turns out that she is the general's wife! I heard that she got lost from home for several months, and that's how the general got seriously ill. I didn't expect that the old couple would meet again in our Yuxi Village!"

"Hiss! Oh my god! The general? An official from the imperial city? Is this true?!"

"Of course it's true. Can I lie to you?"

When she was excited, Li Pozi beckoned to the women, motioning them to come closer, and lowered her voice, "Let me tell you another secret, Sulan, the wife of Dashan, looks a lot like the general and his wife! The general's nose and eyes can be seen in her! Her mouth and face are especially like the general's wife! If you don't believe me, go and take a look for yourself, I, Li Pozi, don't say unreliable things!"

"What you said is the most unreliable." Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at her. "What do you mean by similar or not? How can you just say that? Sulan has her own parents. She was making trouble at the tea workshop a while ago."

Mrs. Li clicked her tongue and said disapprovingly, "Are parents like that really real parents? They are only after benefits. Besides, it's not certain whether they are real parents or not..."

She was just saying this to herself, and when she finished, she was stunned. She asked the woman next to her, "Is it possible that she is not related to the one over there, but is related to this one?"

The women and old ladies, "..."

Mrs. Wang sighed and reached out to cover Mrs. Li's mouth.

You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately.

There are people in the world who look alike, but does that mean they are relatives?

Besides, how could Dashan's wife not know her own life experience? If the general and his wife had any doubts, couldn't they find a way to confirm it?

They can gossip in private, but they dare not help people find relatives randomly.

What if the general misunderstands that the Dashan family wants to establish a relationship with them? How embarrassing would that be? Wouldn't that just cause trouble for the Dashan family?

At this moment, Lin Dashan was in the backyard of Sifang Pharmacy, sitting opposite the six members of the Li family across a tea table.

However, within just a few days, rumors were already spreading throughout the town, all of which were gossips about the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family in Yuxi Village.

Through the propaganda of these people, Li Sulan was portrayed as an ungrateful and unfilial daughter who didn't care about the lives of her parents and brothers.

She enjoyed a good life in the Lin family with ample food and clothing, and she didn't care that her mother's family couldn't even afford a meal, and she didn't remember the kindness of giving birth to her.

In addition, the six members of the Li family were all skinny and stood in front of people wearing clothes full of patches, which made them even more convincing.

Da Rui attaches great importance to filial piety, and filial piety comes first in everything.

Once you are labeled as unfilial, it is like being nailed to the pillar of shame, and you will be criticized for the rest of your life.

His wife did nothing wrong, so how could Lin Dashan bear to see her suffer?

He frowned and said coldly, "What do you want to do by spreading slander everywhere? Just speak frankly and don't keep us in suspense."

After experiencing the humiliation of being chased by dogs outside the teahouse last time, and with no outsiders in the backyard, the old lady of the Li family was too lazy to even pretend. She pretended to pat her old arms and legs and sneered, "It's not easy. Your Lin family is finally willing to take the time to come out and meet us, and are willing to sit down and have a good talk. You are such a jerk for not bowing your head and not giving in to any loss!"

"It's worth it that our son-in-law is willing to come out to see us in person and that we have stayed here for so long and suffered so much." The old man surnamed Li winked at the old woman, signaling her to shut up.

He had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and looked very fake.

"I think my son-in-law knows that our family is not doing well. We have nothing to eat, nothing to drink, nothing to wear. We can't even scrape together a few coins after searching all our belongings. Unfortunately, there are many people in our family, and more than a dozen mouths are waiting to be fed. If we were not really in a difficult situation, we wouldn't have the audacity to come to your house and make ourselves miserable, right? Since you are so frank, we won't hide anything. Sulan doesn't want to recognize us, and we won't force her to call us father and mother. The price is three thousand taels. As long as you give us this amount, we will never bother you again from now on. If you don't believe me, we can sign a written agreement as proof. How about it?"

Old man Li did not feel guilty at all when he mentioned the number of three thousand taels.

The young couple and their two children next to them were even more delighted. They could hardly suppress the excitement in their eyes, and the corners of their eyes were red.

When they came here, they had made up their mind that as long as the Lin family could come up with 500 taels, they would leave immediately.

But they didn't expect that Li Sulan didn't even meet them, and made them suffer a lot. They were pointed at and ridiculed by a group of irrelevant people, and were chased by a group of dead dogs and scared to death.

Shouldn't we get back at the Lin family for the humiliation we've suffered?

However, no matter how bold they were, they never expected that their father would dare to ask for three thousand taels of silver.

That is money that their family could never earn in several lifetimes!

If they could get this money, then everyone in their family, young and old, would no longer have to worry about food and drink.

Then I will live in a big house, buy servants, and eat delicious food and drink delicious drinks!

If they buy a large piece of land and rent it out, they can also live a wealthy life like the masters!

"Three thousand taels, you really dare to ask for such a high price." No matter how reserved and calm Lin Dashan was, he was still amused.

None of the Zhang family has these human wolves.

He looked at these people with an even colder look, full of disgust. It was no wonder that Sulan refused to see them. "I don't have three thousand taels. Take out all the money that Sulan and I have saved. There are 50 taels of silver. If you want it, just sign a document stating that we have nothing to do with each other in the future, take the money and leave. If you don't want it, then there is no need to talk anymore. We will meet directly at the government office!"

"Let's go to the government office, do you think we are afraid? If we dare to come here, it means we have already put our heads on the belt. The worst that can happen is that we will die together. Anyway, we are barefoot and are not afraid of those who wear shoes! There is nothing to eat at home, and we can't get any money. I don't know when I will starve to death when I go back. Do you still care about this worthless life?"

But your Lin family is different! You grow Hundred-Angle Grass and run a tea workshop. Everything looks good when you look ahead! You should first consider whether you can afford to lose. Even if you can afford to lose, is it worth it? "

The old woman slammed the table, staring at Lin Dashan with a half-smile, "Don't say you have no money, and you want to use fifty taels of silver to fool us! We specifically inquired before we came here. Not to mention the money your family makes from selling Hundred Herbs, the dividends from the tea workshop alone are nearly two thousand taels a month! Three thousand taels of silver is just your dividends for one or two months, and I still think it's too little! You are such a bastard! What's the matter? Did my mother and daughter sleep with you and give birth to your baby for free?"
