At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

After sweeping a glance full of oppression at the few people one by one, he sneered, "An ordinary young man, yet he can gather so many people with just a wave of his arm. What a courage and skill! Even Lin Lizheng may not be able to move you, right?"

Lin Bufan felt his head buzzing as he listened to Song Youliang constantly praising him.

"But who knows? You might be here on orders from Lin Lizheng. The young man who called me just now said that if I didn't come, I should wait for Lin Lizheng to come and call me."

In fact, according to Song Youliang's intention, he was extremely reluctant to get involved in the Gu family's mess.

But the people of Linjiatun have always loved to make a scene, and this time they came here with great fanfare. When the young man came to his house, there were already many people waiting at his door to watch the fun.

If he didn't take care of it now, wouldn't it encourage others to be more ambitious, destroy his own prestige, and alienate the villagers?

When he came over, he happened to hear Lin Qing's impassioned speech, and he was instantly filled with passion and offered to help.

Lin Bufan looked viciously at the young man following Song Youliang, his eyes asking, "Didn't you give him any benefits?!"

The young man looked puzzled: "I took it."

What’s wrong with this old man? He said something nice on the way but changed his mind when he got to me?

Song Youliang suddenly turned around, stuffed a hundred coins back into the young man's hand, and said earnestly, "Although our Songsi Village may not be as wealthy as Linjiatun, we are not the kind of people who are obsessed with money."

Glancing sideways at the crowd outside, he emphasized, "We're all honest people. Money of unknown origin like this is hard to handle!"

Even though he knew what the headman had done, Lin Qing almost applauded his superb acting skills.

What a satisfying whitewashing drama!

Song Youliang's actions made everyone in Linjiatun change their expressions.

Didn’t you ask him to come over and help speak up? It would be fine if he took the money and didn’t do the job, but why is he turning the tables?

Seeing that Song Youliang had turned against him and was even trying to support Lin Qing, Lin Bufan knew that the situation was not good and wanted to give up so as not to waste the twenty-five taels of silver.

But the people who came with them all said that when had the people of Linjiatun ever suffered such injustice!

How could they lose face in the small Songsi Village? If this gets out, people will laugh at them!

Gu Dahuai looked at Duodu and coughed, "You, if you dare to make a move, I won't get up today!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Lin Qing knew that it would be fruitless to continue till dark, so he quietly pulled Song Youliang over and said,

"Uncle Youliang, I heard that my brother lost all his money lending money at high interest. I'm afraid he can't come up with so much money right away. Why don't you let him write me an IOU?"

When Song Youliang heard the words "lose all his money", his legs suddenly went weak and his heart started pounding with fear. He felt a sense of crisis that innocent people would be affected.

After a moment of calming down, he said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"

What followed was naturally another round of bickering.

Although Lin Bufan was indignant, he hurriedly agreed when he heard Gu Dahuai say indifferently, "Sister-in-law will settle it with him based on interest" and "If we sue the county government, Brother Bufan will just spend a few months in jail."

Are you kidding? Settling the bill based on interest and going to jail would be worse than just taking his life!

After writing the IOU with reluctance, Lin Bufan pressed his fingerprints on it amid the sighs of the people in Linjiatun. He felt that he had been drawing water with a bamboo basket and had lost face.

He would never suffer such a loss!

Just wait, he will get it back bit by bit!

Before leaving, he glared at Lin Qing fiercely.

Lin Qing didn't care about his impotent rage, she took the IOU and turned away happily.
