Just after dinner, Aunt Hua from the same village came and asked: "Maizi, I heard that you want to sell the cart at home. Is this true or false?"
Lin Mai smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Aunt Hua asked the key point: "How much does it cost?"
Lin Mai invited her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea: "This cart cost fifty-five yuan when I bought it. Since you want it, I won't increase the price and I'll sell it to you at the original price."
They were all from the same village, and Lin Mai didn't want to make Aunt Hua's money.
Aunt Hua said angrily: "You have used this cart for a while, and you still sell it for fifty-five yuan. It's a bit unkind."
Lin Mai was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Although I have used this cart for a while, it only lasted a few months.
Since Aunt Hua sincerely wants to buy it and we are from the same village, I will give you two yuan and fifty-three yuan to sell it to you."
"Off the three dollars, it's fifty." Aunt Hua bargained.
"I can't afford to sell it at this price." Lin Mai said no more, packed up the steamed buns and braised eggs and went out to do business.
When I came back from the business, I saw that the cart in the yard was missing, so I asked Zhou Caiyun: "Aunt Hua bought the cart after all?"
"No!" Zhou Caiyun took out fifty-three yuan from his body and handed it to her, "After you left, Aunt Hua struggled with me for a long time, insisting that I sell it to her for fifty yuan.
I said how could I make this decision as a part-time worker and asked her to wait until you come back to tell you, but she hesitated for a long time and bought it anyway."
The weather was nice on the day I went back to the countryside to make noodles and eggs.
Lin Mai sold all the steamed buns and braised eggs he was going to sell in the morning before ten o'clock, and then drove his tractor back to the countryside.
It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived at Grandpa Fang's house.
Grandpa Fang had already bought eggs and flour and was waiting for her to pick them up.
Grandma Fang was still heating her lunch in the pot.
Lin Mai was not polite, picked up the bowl and started eating.
Seeing that Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were a little unhappy, I asked them if they felt unwell.
Old couple, look at me and I look at you.
Grandma Fang said to Grandpa Fang, "I think it's better to tell Maizi. It's not good to hide this kind of thing from her."
Lin Mai put some kimchi into the bowl and mixed it with rice. His eyes swept over the faces of the two elderly people: "What on earth is going on?"
Grandpa Fang then told her that since she bought the tractor, the villagers have praised her for her ability.
Only Wu Jinhua spread rumors about her everywhere, saying how could a girl like her be so capable and earn so much money by doing small business, and that 80% of the money was earned by sleeping with others.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were so angry that they had a fight with her.
But she said that they were old fools, had been deceived by Lin Mai, and could not see how dirty she was.
Grandpa Fang said seriously: "Maizi, we can't just let this matter go. I think you have to argue with her and let her learn a lesson, otherwise she will spread rumors and become lawless.
She says this every day, and if you don't clarify it, others will gradually believe that what she says is true, so how can you get married in the future?"
After reviving her life, Lin Mai never thought about getting married. She just wanted to reach the top of her life through her own efforts.
Just because she doesn't want to get married doesn't mean she can tolerate people throwing dirty water on her head.
Besides, the two old men had already stood up for her, so she had no reason not to stand up for herself.
After finishing the meal, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and went to find Wu Jinhua to settle the score.
Wu Jinhua went to work in her fields after lunch.
Lin Mai went from her house to her field.
At that time, Wu Jinhua was weeding sesame seeds, and Lin Mai walked over to her, stepping on the tender seedlings of her sesame seeds.
Wu Jinhua's face turned black with anger and he yelled at her: "You little bitch, get out of here and trample all my sesame seedlings!"
Lin Mai not only refused to listen, but also stepped harder and crushed the sesame seedlings to pieces.
Wu Jinhua was so angry that she rushed over and wanted to beat her: "You little bitch, do you deserve a beating?"
Lin Mai came prepared, and as soon as Wu Jinhua rushed to her, she used her strength to throw her out.
Wu Jinhua was hit so hard that she howled and screamed.
Lin Mai sat on her and slapped her mouth: "You relied on this mouth to slander me, right? Then I will slap your mouth to pieces so that you can no longer spread rumors about me!"
"
Wu Jinhua was beaten until she howled like a ghost. Upon hearing the sound, her sons and daughters-in-law all rushed over and wanted to beat up Lin Mai.
Linmai often purchases agricultural products from fellow villagers, and the prices are quite high.
And last time, we collected a lot of sauerkraut at the price of three cents per pound, allowing many villagers to make a small profit.
You know, in the countryside, every household has sauerkraut, and they can't be sold at all.
In the eyes of the villagers, Lin Mai is the God of Wealth, and whoever sees him would not want to fawn over him!
Seeing that she was about to suffer a loss, many villagers ran over to stop Aunt Wu's son and daughter-in-law.
"What do you mean? Taking advantage of a large number of people to bully a single woman?"
Wu Jinhua's sons and daughters-in-law were controlled by the villagers, and they could only watch helplessly as their mother was beaten wildly by Lin Mai, their eyes red with anger.
He yelled, "You are blind. This little bitch hit my mother first, so why did we bully the little bitch? You are trying to be biased!"
Hearing this, Lin Mai took off one of his shoes, rushed over and slapped each of his brothers: "I let you scold me, I let you call me a little bitch, I can't beat you to death!"
Wu Jinhua was able to get up from the ground and rushed towards Lin Mai, shouting: "I will fight with you!"
It's a pity that Lin Mai didn't want to fight with her and gave way.
Wu Jinhua's momentum was too great and she couldn't hold back at all.
She rushed to the paddy field not far from Sesame Field, screaming wildly all the way.
Not only did he crush a large piece of his own rice seedlings, but he also rolled into a mud dog, looking very embarrassed, which made the villagers laugh.
A villager angrily criticized Aunt Wu's sons: "Which one of us is blind? Why didn't you mention that it was your mother who started the rumor about Xiao Lin? If Xiao Lin doesn't hit her, who will he hit?"
"That's right, Xiao Lin is still young and wants to get married. If your mother slaps that shit on her head, if she doesn't come to the door, your mother will say that she has acquiesced!"
"If you spread such rumors, anyone else would be beaten!"
Lin Mai proudly said to the villagers: "Thank you all for speaking up. In the future, whenever I purchase agricultural products, I will definitely give you the most affordable price."
After thanking him, he went back to Grandpa Fang's house, loaded the eggs and flour onto the tractor and left.
Wu Jinhua suffered a big loss, and the whole family couldn't bear to swallow it. They ran to the brigade to ask the leader to come forward and make the family feel bad.
Lin Mai had a good relationship with Grandpa Fang, and they even paid for the tractor, which solved a big problem in the team.
Besides, Wu Jinhua was beaten at her own fault. None of the leaders wanted to stand up for Wu Jinhua, but instead severely criticized her for spreading rumors about Lin Mai.
Wu Jinhua said angrily: "Even if I am wrong in spreading rumors, then I should be beaten in vain?"
A leader of the brigade said: "Xiao Lin's registered residence has been transferred to the city, and he is not under our control at all. What use are you looking for us?"
Wu Jinhua and her sons teamed up and went to the police station to ask the police to stand up for her.
