Chapter 89 Oh my god! How could the old village head kill people!

It wasn't until it got dark that the baskets, picks and bamboo baskets Lin Tao brought were filled.

But there are far more wild buckwheats on the mountain than Lin Tao estimated before. It seems that it will take another day to harvest tomorrow.

It's just... just because no one came during the day today, it doesn't mean that no one will come tomorrow.

If the harvest is not finished today, the hole dug for Gong Chenglin will be in vain once the landlord reveals his secrets!

"mother?"

Lin Tao came back to her senses and looked at Li Si.

"If Mom wants to finish harvesting today, we can continue the work! It looks like we should be almost done with one more night of harvesting."

I have to say that this guy, Lao Si, is really smart and can tell what she is thinking.

Li Er looked at Li Si with sweating profusely, then turned to look at her again. Although there was dissatisfaction on his face, he didn't say a word.

Except for Li San, everyone nodded: "Mom, if you say yes, we will do it."

That kid Li San seemed to be living in another dimension. He didn't react at all to their words. He lowered his head and bent his hands without stopping.

"Okay! Let's keep doing it!" Lin Tao said.

Li Er ran over and said, "Mom, the basket is full. How about I take it home first?"

"Boss, you are so good! At this time, you are still playing with your petty tricks?" Li Sigan next to him joked with a smile.

"I, I... really don't have anything to pack."

"Besides, can you lead the cow? You even lost the cow on the road!"

"Okay, hurry up and get to work!" Lin Tao kicked the two of them away.

Li Si rubbed his sore butt: "Mom! He just wants to be lazy!"

"I didn't!"

"You are!"

"I don't!"

The two of them were two meters apart and kept repeating: You are, I am not.

Lin Tao pinched her sore eyebrows, and her mind was full of the curse of retreating from the last life.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Lin Tao pulled off the straw sandals on her feet, and the two brats turned around and ran away at the same time in a tacit understanding.

Put on your shoes and call Zhu Donghua to do it.

Zhu never said, looked, asked, or thought. Whatever Lin Tao asked him to do, he would do it immediately.

This kind of thing that can be done by one person really cannot be left to a second person.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Zhu came back with the ox loaded with empty baskets and picks.

My hair was wet with sweat, as if it had just been washed.

"We won't be in such a hurry." Lin Tao came over to help unload the basket and pick up the basket.

"Mom! Something is not right in the village!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Tao asked.

Zhu took a water bag and filled it for several times before saying: "When I was going down the mountain, I saw the intersection on the right side of the slope and saw Gong Chenglin's family coming down the mountain. Their baskets were full."

"Did they see you?"

Zhu shook his head.

"That's good. From now on, if you encounter his house on the mountain, try to avoid it."

"I know." Mrs. Zhu nodded: "Oh, by the way! Grandma asked me to bring you something to eat. Grandma said that no matter how much work there is and how busy people are, they can't skip eating."

Lin Tao took one piece of cake and asked Mrs. Zhu to take the other cakes and share them with everyone.

Sitting on the ground, Lin Tao bit into the cake and looked to the right side of Wangpo. She was happy, but she also had more doubts in her heart.

Logically speaking, if Li Yi told Gong Chenglin the truth, Gong Chenglin's family should not go there.

After a whole night of work, at dawn, all the buckwheat seeds in this mountainous area were harvested by Lin Tao.

Lin Tao let out a sigh of relief as she looked at everyone yawning after a busy night.

Not bad! Without them, no matter how hard I try, I can only make ends meet.

After all, if you want to make a fortune, you must first have labor force!

The original owner's body, no matter how good his physique was, was just an ordinary person with only one pair of hands.

At this moment, she could understand why people in ancient times were busy giving birth to babies besides working.

One more baby means one more pair of hands!

While it was still early, Lin Tao hurriedly packed up and went home.

Everything is ready for success, all it takes is a finishing touch!

Fortunately, it was early, so on the way back, I didn’t meet any villagers going up the mountain.

The old lady brought a bowl of hot water over with a distressed look on her face.

"How old are you, and you still don't know the importance? Can money be as important as your health? After the wind blowing all night, I quickly drank this bowl of ginger soup."

"Where did the ginger come from?"

"Your mother heard from my grandson's daughter-in-law last night that if you don't come back at night, she will go up the mountain to look for it before dawn." The old man put a pot of ginger soup on the stone table and asked everyone to drink it while it was hot.

Xiao Linglan ran out of the main room, holding a piece of her clothes in her arms.

"Grandma is wearing cold clothes and is sick."

This was the first time that Xiao Linglan took the initiative to show concern.

Lin Tao rubbed Xiao Linglan's head, took the clothes and put them on.

The little girl smiled sweetly and ran to the water tank to wash the buckwheat seeds with Xiao Li Qian and Youyou.

Children's happiness is actually very simple. Perhaps a hug or a kiss can make them happy and satisfied.

After sending those who stayed up late to rest, Lin Tao squatted next to Youyou.

"How's it going? Are you still used to living here?"

"Yeah!" Youyou raised her little left foot and said excitedly, "Grandma gave you the straw sandals."

Then he switched to his right foot: "Grandpa Zu gave you the straw sandals."

"After these few days of busy work, grandma will buy some new clothes for Youyou." Lin Tao pinched Youyou's little face.

The little girl shook her head: "Thank you grandma, you don't have to spend money on Youyou. Youyou can wear what grandma doesn't want."

Lin Tao said nothing, rubbed Youyou's head, and went back to the main room to catch up on her sleep.

Just leave the next thing to time to complete.

***

Lin Tao didn't know how long she slept for. When she opened her eyes, it was broad daylight, the sun was shining in through the window, and there was heat on the wall. She had the illusion of living in a steamer.

He wiped the sweat from his neck, sat up, and slowly came back to his senses.

Outside the closed door, stone grinders and stone mills continued to sound. It seemed that even if she didn't arrange it, they all knew what they should do!

This home is changing for the better.

Lin Tao was wearing clothes when she heard screams and noisy and chaotic footsteps coming from outside.

After a while, Mrs. Xu's voice sounded outside the door.

"Mom! Are you awake? Something seems to have happened in the village!

Opening the door, Mrs. Xu whispered: "I heard something happened at the village chief's house! Mr. Li Zheng just led many people to the village chief's house. Do we want to go and have a look?"

"You go on with your business, I'll go take a look."

Just as he was about to go out, the two elders chased him.

"Tao Zi, Mr. Li Zheng is leading all the young and strong men in the village. It seems that something big has happened! Just don't go!"

"That's right, they always say that I'm not from Gongjiazhai and I won't get involved in their troubles!"

Lin Tao opened the door: "Don't worry, I'm not too busy, just take a look!"

After closing the door, Lin Tao walked in the direction of Gong Chenglin's house in the original owner's memory.

Gongjiazhai is a large village with about a hundred households.

Lao Li's house is located in the west of the village, and the village chief's house is in the east!

Not only does his house have a good location, but it is also the largest in the village.

After walking for a long time, I vaguely saw a crowd of people gathered outside the courtyard of Gong Chenglin's house.

When someone ran past Lin Tao, he whispered: "Oh my God! How could the old village chief kill someone?"
