The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming
Chapter 48: Any Wang 8 is the Ancestor
In front of the ruins of the thatched house, the originally flat ground was now full of potholes.
Lin Jianshan’s expression could be described as exasperated. No, no, no, none at all!
Where is the silver? Where did the silver go?
Lin Jianshui, who was standing next to him, yawned as he used his hoe to dig. "Brother, stop digging. We have dug everywhere and there is no silver."
"Shut up!" Lin Jianshan glared at his brother. Lin Jianshui curled his lips, picked up the hoe and went to rest nearby.
The villagers were originally very interested in watching the fun, but after seeing Lin Jianshan digging for quite some time and finding nothing but mud and stones, they gradually felt bored. Many of them went back to work, and the remaining few stayed to wait for the results.
Shang Wan knew what Lin Jianshan was looking for, but unfortunately, he would never find it.
She reached out and fiddled with Lu Chengjing's long eyelashes, but when she saw that his eyelids were trembling as if he was about to wake up, she immediately stopped and started playing with his hair instead.
Little Yuanyuan had woken up from a good sleep. Seeing her mother touching her father, she stretched out her short fingers and curiously poked her father's face. Then she poked her own chubby cheeks, blinking her big eyes and stretching her little face towards Shang Wan. Her face was even more touchable.
Shang Wan pinched her amusingly, and when no one was paying attention, fed her a drop of spiritual spring water.
"Found it!" Lin Jianshan shouted excitedly, and the crowd, who were yawning out of idleness, immediately gathered around to take a look.
There was a piece of red cloth lying in the pit, surrounded by loose soil.
Zhang Er frowned, "This isn't silver."
"It's under the red cloth." Lin Jianshan said confidently. He reached out and grabbed the red cloth and pulled it up with force.
"Dadada--" the soil fell like rain, and seven or eight grayish-white stones were exposed.
Everyone: "..."
"How could it be a stone?" Lin Jianshan widened his eyes in disbelief. He held the red cloth in front of him and took a closer look. It was the same cloth used to wrap silver in his house. How could it be a stone?
Shang Wan glanced at the bottom of the pit, a smile flashed across his eyes, "Don't get excited, I'm a generous person, it's just a few stones, take them if you want, my family doesn't need this."
"Who wants the stone?" Lin Jianshan turned and yelled at Shang Wan, "I want silver! My silver!"
"Pa!" Shang Wan slapped him in the face, picked him up and threw him outside, and he fell next to Village Chief Lin with a "bang".
"Brother!" Lin Jianshui rushed over and helped the man up.
Lin Jianshan was so angry that his face was distorted, and he stared at Shang Wan as if he wanted to eat him.
Shang Wan glared at him coldly, "I asked you to search the place and dug a lot of holes for me. If you can't find it, just apologize and get out of here. I'm giving you face by losing my temper with me?"
The sudden burst of murderous energy stunned everyone present, and many people looked at Shang Wan with fear.
Shitou swallowed his saliva and said, "Now it's time." That day on the cart, his sister was so mean to him. It was so scary.
Shang Wan walked towards Lin Jianshan step by step, with an impressive aura.
Lin Jianshan held his injured arm and tried not to retreat. He said in a timid tone, "What do you want to do?"
"Of course it makes sense." Shang Wan clenched his fist, and the stone immediately turned into powder and flowed out from between his fingers.
Everyone swallowed their saliva and said, "Oh my god, where does this strength come from?"
"You've almost turned this land upside down but still can't find the silver. It's obvious that the thief is not from our family. We have been wrongly accused, our reputation has been damaged, and our spirit has been seriously hurt. Isn't it too much to ask for some compensation?"
Without waiting for the Lin family to speak, the others agreed on their behalf, "It's not too much."
Shang Wan raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction. "Add together the compensation for reputation loss, mental damages and land leveling fees. For the sake of our fellow villagers, I will give you a discount. I will ask for... 80 taels."
"Why don't you go and rob!" Liu didn't understand what Shang Wan said before, but she understood silver. She pointed at Shang Wan and was about to give it up, but Shang Wan gave her a cold glance and the words were choked in her throat.
"Mrs. Xiucai, Mr. Lu's jade pendant appeared in the Lin family for no reason. It's understandable that the Lin family suspected Mr. Lu was a thief, and he didn't cause any damage to your family. It's too much to ask for eighty taels."
Old Man Qiu, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and stared at Shang Wan with his cloudy eyes. "We are all from the same village. In my opinion, we should let the boy from the Lin family return the jade pendant and apologize to the scholar. We should forgive others when we can and don't hurt the harmony."
Shang Wan had never seen Father Qiu before, "Who are you?"
Old Man Qiu is Qiu Xiaofeng's elder brother, and he was the one who arranged the marriage between Lin Jianshui and Chen Guifang. He went to the Chen family to attend the funeral, and because Liushu Village was too chaotic, he came back with the Lin family today, and he has not met Shang Wan yet.
He was older than Old Man Luo and had never been treated so rudely by a younger generation in the village. He immediately frowned and said, "What an unruly woman! Is this how the scholar taught you to be disrespectful and speak rudely to elders?"
"Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy!"
Shang Wan felt puzzled. Did this old man think that because he was old, others should worship him like a Buddha?
"We are not related, but you scolded me when you first met me. Who is more rude?"
"If the oldest person is considered an elder, then any turtle you pick up from the river is considered an ancestor. You even drank a sip of this soup."
"If you want others to respect you, you should first control your mouth and stop saying all the dirty and smelly things. Are you afraid that others don't know that your butt is crooked to the horizon?"
Old Man Qiu's cheeks flushed with anger, and his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Shang Wan, "What a sharp tongue you have!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Shang Wan glanced at his hand, which he had not put down, and asked, "Let me ask you, do you not want your hand anymore?"
"Yes." Lin Jianshui rushed over to help Old Man Qiu hold down his arm, and persuaded him while stroking his back to relieve his anger. The more he persuaded, the angrier Old Man Qiu became, and his face turned purple with anger. But Lin Jianshui was still unaware of it, and even felt that he had done a good job of persuading him.
Shang Wan felt that Lin Jianshui's brain might be a retribution for the Lin family's many bad deeds.
She looked at the livid-faced village chief Lin, and a fake smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "Village chief, you are very knowledgeable, and you should know what the consequences will be if the crime of stealing silver falls on my husband. Fortunately, nothing was found during the search. If anything was found, my husband's title of scholar that he had studied so hard for would be ruined, and that loss cannot be made up with a few words."
"You are the one who knows right from wrong the most. When villagers do something wrong, no matter how related they are to your family, you punish them without mercy. Now it's your family's turn. Would the village chief be tempted to show partiality?"
Everyone looked at Village Chief Lin, especially Old Man Wu and Old Man Liu, with expressions as if they were enjoying a good show.
Village chief Lin, who was being held up, pursed his lips and thought quickly about countermeasures.
Shang Wan continued, "It's still early, why don't we figure out why my husband's lost jade pendant appeared in the Lin family? If we can't figure it out, we can go to the government office to ask for help..."
"It's just a small matter and can be handled in the village. Why bother going to the government office and disturbing the peace of the masters?" Village Chief Lin interrupted Shang Wan with a dark face.
Shang Wan raised an eyebrow, "If I don't go to the government office, does the village chief agree to compensate me?"
