Then she looked at Sanmu with a smile, and said with a look that did not shy away from asking, "Sanmu, is there a place in our village where we can rent an ox cart?"

Gu Sanmu instantly understood what his mother meant and answered without hesitation: "No."

Lin Bufan was confused at first, but when he finally understood, his eyes sparkled and he said excitedly, "If we don't have an ox cart, we can find a mule cart! I know that farmer Song Youtian must have one at home!"

When he turned around to go out to borrow some, he suddenly calmed down from his ecstasy, stopped, frowned and looked at Lin Qing fiercely.

"You little bitch, you're not lying to me, are you? You're not going to break off the engagement with the Jia family, so why are you letting me take the betrothal gifts?"

Lin listened to his blunt words and his lack of due respect for his sister, and immediately made up her mind to not only make him return the pension, but also return everything he had taken from the Gu family.

The most effective way to deal with a greedy, cunning, and clever person like him is to make him think that others are stupid and he is the smartest in the world, so that he can hit him directly in the weakest part when he tries to swallow an elephant with a snake.

Lin Qing suppressed the contempt in his heart and said, "It's not the first time that the Jia family has had an engagement rejected. There's a family in our village, right? I heard that they received all the betrothal gifts well. Why can't we do the same?"

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and sneered, "I've heard about this, too. It seems you're not hiding anything. Your village is truly useless. Two marriages were canceled. All your hard work was in vain. I'll see how Master Jia lets him off!"

Having said that, he looked at Lin Qing with a strange look.

Could it be that his sister also wanted to cancel the engagement because of that kind of dirty thing? Then he had to draw a clear line with her after taking away the betrothal gifts this time, so as not to affect his own Tianci.

Lin Qing, however, was sensitive enough to hear something was wrong.

Why does Lin Bufan know so much about Songsi Village?

The words also mentioned that "Master Jia will not let the head of the village go." Is there any hidden secret in this?

Lin Bufan seemed to realize that his words had gone awry, and he hurried out, not forgetting to point at Gu Ermiao: "Have him help me move things later."

Lin Qing naturally knew that the reason he called Gu Ermiao was because he was good at talking, but how could she follow his wishes and call him with a smile.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Bufan couldn't stand it any longer. What was the meaning of Lin Qing trying to stop him again and again?

"You don't want to give me the things anymore?"

"How could that be? I meant to say that I'll go with you later."

In the morning sun, Lin Qing's whole body was coated with a layer of golden light, and his compassion made people inexplicably convinced.

"What does a child know? He can't even understand the betrothal gift list. Besides, Gu Dahuai is cunning and scheming. Ermiao is a junior after all, so he can't be subdued. It's safer for me to go."

Lin Bufan then showed a satisfied smile, but he didn't expect that he was the big enemy sent to his door by Chunchun.

"Let's not rush out," Lin Qing used his last killer move.

"The betrothal gifts from the Jia Mansion are so plentiful that if we only use a mule cart, we'll probably have to go back and forth many times. It would be better to move them from my brother-in-law's to my yard first. Then you can just come to my place and avoid dealing with Gu Dahuai every time."

Lin Bufan looked doubtful.

If it were in the past, Lin Bufan would definitely not question her kindness, but since he heard that she beat up Gu Dahuai, he couldn't help but think too much.

But seeing Lin Qing's frank expression, he thought his mother was really suspicious.

Even if she is powerful in her husband's family, doesn't she still have to bow her head in front of me?

Looking at my sister's pathetic appearance and her useless children, what other ways can they have to get ahead except trying their best to curry favor with me?

"Hmph, your suggestion is quite good. If that's the case, why are you still hesitating? Come with me!"

Lin Qing ignored his anxious urging and remained calm, arranging household affairs in an orderly manner.

"Da Mao, don't you want to find Chang Qing for something? My uncle's house is in chaos, go and call him over to our house.

"Sanmu, go to Uncle Modou's house and borrow a cart. Ermiao, take Sihe and Xiaoxin with you to pick some sour dates."

The children naturally agreed with Lin Qing's words, but they didn't understand why their mother wanted to send them all out at this time.

Lin Qing smiled slightly, signaling them not to worry, then cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice.

"Mom and uncle are going to my uncle's house for something, so you all be good!"

After saying that, he didn't care how unhappy Lin Bufan was and forced him to chat. It was not until Gu Changqing was dragged over in a daze that he went to the next door with his adopted brother.

Gu Changqing had naturally met this Lin Bufan before, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Damao, if you're here to repay the debt, why did you come to our house? And why did my aunt call me over?"

Gu Damao said confidently: "Mother has made arrangements personally."

Gu Dahuai on this side naturally heard the "message" that Lin Qing deliberately conveyed. When the siblings entered the room, he was already sitting in the hall, drinking tea with a strange taste.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Bufan? It's an honor to have you here."

Lin Bufan ignored his polite words, and his greedy eyes were fixed on the betrothal gifts piled up in the yard.

There are so many!

That Mr. Jia is really rich!

After bringing these betrothal gifts home, he might as well sell his sister again. Then wouldn't all the benefits go to his own family?

Thinking of this, he almost couldn't control the corners of his mouth.

Then shouldn't his family marry a girl from the town or county?

After he finished moving the beads on the abacus, he looked at Gu Dahuai, who was still so arrogant that he didn't even stand up. Instead of saying he was trying to curry favor with him, he couldn't help but taunt him:

"Oh, Songsi Village is a small village after all. Unlike our Linjiatun, we have no rules and regulations. We can even sit and receive guests! At that time, I didn't agree with my sister marrying into your family. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have encountered such a bastard thing as forcing her widowed sister-in-law to be a concubine."

Gu Dahuai turned his head and spat out a mouthful of tea leaves, saying rather disdainfully, "Why do I remember you were the one who asked for an exorbitant price for the bride price?"

Seeing Lin Bufan choked, Gu Dahuai became even more disdainful.

"My house was so lively yesterday, but why didn't Brother Bufan come to help my sister? He only comes here to ask for justice now. He is really too eager to eat shit."

Lin Bufan's face flushed red, and he was about to refute, but he saw Gu Dahai pouring out the tea, and the splashed mud hit the corner of his clothes, causing his face to change immediately.

"Gu Dahuai, don't be so shameless! If you don't return all the betrothal gifts to my family today, don't blame me for being rude!"

Gu Dahuai laughed so hard that he was out of breath, and coughed, "Why are you so rude? Are you going to jump up and hit me?"

Lin Qing didn't expect Gu Dahuai to be so good at complaining. She glanced at Lin Bufan beside her, who was as angry as a pufferfish, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him fiercely, Lin Qing quickly covered her mouth and pretended to cry with her hands covering her face.
