The morning light dispels the darkness, and a new day soon begins again
The Lin family is still like this. They get up early in the morning, do business when they need to do business, and work when they need to do work.
It's just that Qiao'er was stolen yesterday, so Lin Dahu thinks it's better to buy a dog at home. After all, these two little tigers won't bark "bark" when they see outsiders.
"Go to the village and ask, buy a good dog, preferably one that can be taken to the mountains for hunting." Ye Chuqiu agreed, she also likes dogs, and this place is big enough, so buy a dog.
Can also run away.
"Okay, then I'll go to the village to ask in a few days."
Lin Dahu said, and when he saw Ye Chuqiu packing up and heading out, he asked, "Mom, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find the liangzhang today. I found Qiao'er. I have to tell him. I also have to ask Wu Ming and the others how they escaped." Ye Chuqiu answered.
"Then I'll go with my mother." Lin Dahu put aside the matter of buying a dog and followed Ye Chuqiu to the house leader's house.
Hearing that they were coming, the chief quickly invited the two people into the house. Lin Dahu said gratefully: "Mr. Chief, we have found Qiao'er. We were too anxious yesterday to thank you properly. What are you waiting for?
When we have time, we’ll treat you to dinner.”
Although Qiaoer was finally found by Ye Chuqiu, Lin Dahu's attitude from the village chief also allowed Lin Dahu to see his responsibility and broadmindedness as the village chief, which made him have a much better impression of him. Therefore, in today's tone, he felt towards him.
There was a vague sense of intimacy.
"Hey, these are all what I should do, no need to thank you." The mayor was in a very good mood when he heard this, and only said: "Aunt Lin found it in the end, and we couldn't help."
"Then I have to thank you." Lin Dahu said, and then added: "My mother came with me today. In addition to thanking you, I also want to ask Wu Ming how they escaped?"
Hearing this, the director felt his heart skip a beat, and then asked: "Is this really related to Wu Ming?"
"I'm not sure, but it definitely has something to do with them." Speaking of Wu Ming, Lin Dahu's anger surged again, "They actually want to feed my daughter to jackals. It's really abominable. This is a scourge. We must
Find them again."
"Oh, it's also my fault. I thought it was the busy time for farming, and Wu Ming and these bandits were strong and would be wasted in prison, so I wanted to use them as laborers, but who knew, I actually let them escape."
He let out a long sigh, looking very regretful.
"Then who was in charge yesterday? I have something to ask them." Ye Chuqiu added.
"Today is the turn of Lao Cai's family. At noon, Lao Cai's family came over and told us that Wu Ming and several others had escaped. I didn't take it to heart at that time, thinking that we had already used them for a while and they escaped.
Just run away."
"Lao Cai's family?"
Ye Chuqiu is not very familiar with the people in the village, but she still knows about Lao Cai's family, because this family owns a grocery store in the village, and his wife's surname is Qiao, who is the Qiao family she had a quarrel with before, and later she also
Spread rumors and prevent villagers from selling land to them.
Seeing Ye Chuqiu's contemplative look, the chief said: "Aunt Lin, don't think too much. No one wants to see Wu Ming and the others escape... Well, I'll call the people from Lao Cai's family here first. You can ask
Let them."
After that, he asked his son to call the people from Lao Cai's family over.
Mrs. Qiao came over not long after, and behind her was a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face. This man was actually half a head shorter than her.
Although Mrs. Qiao is not beautiful in appearance, she is slender and tall. She must have been quite a pretty girl when she was young. It is a bit surprising to match this short man with a pockmarked face.
"What are you calling us for?" Mrs. Qiao tossed her handkerchief, rolled her eyes at Ye Chuqiu, and said with contempt, "It's such a busy day, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
On the way here, she had already asked about the purpose of coming. At this moment, she was afraid that Ye Chuqiu would pursue him, so she wanted to get the upper hand.
"As for Wu Ming and the others, we didn't expect them to escape. At noon, when we were eating, he said he wanted to relieve himself, so we untied the ropes from their hands. Who knew they escaped!"
Before Ye Chuqiu could speak, Qiao took the initiative to explain the whole story.
"Ms. Qiao, I remember that your family doesn't have a few acres of farmland, right? Why did Wu Ming get to your family so quickly?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
A hint of guilt flashed across Mrs. Qiao's face, and then she puffed out her chest and said loudly, "We are old and young. I still want to visit the shop. It's our turn. Is there anything strange about it?"
"Yes, I did agree to this matter. It was also because I couldn't stand her crying and agreed to this matter." The chief on the side said.
"Okay, then let me ask again, if something happens to my Qiao'er, or is killed by Wu Ming and others, then whose fault does it belong to?" Ye Chuqiu asked again after hearing this.
"Isn't your granddaughter okay? Don't even think about getting involved with us." Mrs. Qiao retorted loudly.
"Whoever speaks louder is justified? If Wu Ming took away your child instead of taking revenge on our family today, would you be so justified?"
Ye Chuqiu looked at her and suddenly slowed down his voice, "Okay, no matter whether you let Wu Ming go on purpose or not, but since Wu Ming has been handed over to you, you have to be responsible. Wu Ming can help the people in the village."
, let me use an analogy, it is like a working cow in the village, when it is your turn, it is lost, you are also responsible, right? What's more, this is not a working cow, but three strong laborers."
"What do you mean? You are looking for trouble, right? Why don't you say that the cows eat grass, while Wu Ming and the others eat grain?" Qiao retorted.
"They can't eat much food, and they can do a lot of work. What's more, I caught them, and now they are lost. I, the suffering owner, come to you to compensate. This is perfect, right?"
"You are blackmailing!"
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Ye Chuqiu and glanced at the chief again, "Chief, listen to what she said. She is obviously blackmailing. You have to make the decision for us!"
"Blackmail? How many taels of silver can a strong laborer be sold to a black laborer? How many taels of silver can three strong laborers be worth? I won't ask you for more, one person is five taels, and three people are fifteen taels of silver.
, If you can’t get it out, just use yourself to pay off the debt!”
Ye Chuqiu looked her up and down, his eyes fierce, like looking at a fat pig waiting for a price. Meeting her eyes, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but feel a little scared, lowered her head and muttered something.
