Chapter 57 Rejected
The house is empty, everything needs to be added, Lin is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"We also have to go to the market, first go to someone's house to borrow a bullock cart."

Shen Xitang scolded Shen Jin'an again from the bottom of her heart, glanced at the room and urged anxiously, "Mother, don't clean up!"

What's the use of tidying up now, I can't even eat, and I have to sleep on a stool at night.

"I'm coming!"

Pulling up the hem of her skirt and wiping her hands, Lin ran out in a panic.

Hurrying out of the house, they looked at the strange environment. There was no one in the village, and it was extremely desolate.

"What the hell, why is this place so gloomy." Shen Xitang shuddered as she hugged her arm, and glanced uneasily.

"First ask a family to find out if there is an ox cart."

She looked around, and there were all prisoners assigned to them, not to mention the bullock carts, and there probably wasn't even a grain of rice in the house.

I still have to ask the people in the village. It would be even better if I could find the village chief.

With such thoughts in mind, Mrs. Lin stepped forward and knocked on the door of a family.

What kind of door is closed in broad daylight, Lin muttered inwardly.

Soon there were noises in the room, a woman with a blank expression but alert eyes opened the door and asked her impatiently, "What do you want to do?"

That attitude seemed to be worried that Mrs. Lin wanted to do something that was not good for them.

Thinking of the purpose of coming here, Mrs. Lin took a deep breath to calm down, tried to force a smile, and said patiently: "My lady, do you know who has an ox cart?"

"We are new here and want to borrow a bullock cart to go shopping in the county." Shen Xitang also followed up to say good things.

"No, I don't know." The woman's tone was cold and her attitude was extremely bad.

"We're just borrowing the ox cart to buy things, and it's not that we won't return it to you." Seeing her bad attitude, Shen Xitang couldn't pretend anymore, and her face immediately turned down.

"No, no." The woman gave her a cold sideways look, and closed the door with a snap.

"Why is this person like this!" Shen Xitang waved her fist, but the door in front of her was still closed.

Lin was very depressed, but she had no choice but to comfort her: "It's okay, let's ask someone else."

After knocking several times in a row with the same attitude, Shen Xitang immediately quit.

"Do you think it looks like you can borrow a bullock cart? Seeing us one by one is like seeing some scourge!"

Anyway, they didn't lend it to themselves, so Shen Xitang walked to the door of the next stop, banging on the door: "Is anyone there? Is anyone at home!"

"Who is it? Are you urging your life by knocking so urgently?" The person inside replied with a loud voice.

It sounded like a firecracker, and Lin was a little scared in his heart.

She reached out and pulled Shen Xitang's sleeve, and said, "How about we change?"

Unexpectedly, she was waved away, and Shen Xitang's eyes were paranoid: "This is the one!"

A shrewd-looking woman opened the door, raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's so early in the morning, do you think you want to rob!"

Upon hearing this, Lin hurriedly explained with a smile: "No, we just want to borrow an ox cart, but we don't know who has it, so come knock on the door and ask."

Unexpectedly, the lady folded her hands in front of her body and said proudly: "My family has it."

The eyes of the mother and daughter were shining, and they finally found it!

"Thank you, lady."

As they spoke, they wanted to go into the yard, but they were blocked.

"When did I say I would lend it to you?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"We will return the things to you after we finish shopping. Please do me a favor, lady." She winked at Shen Xitang.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves. After asking for so long, they finally met a family with a bullock cart. Lin didn't want to mess it up.

Reluctantly turning her head to one side, Shen Xitang listened to the woman's answer with her ears closed.

"Give up your heart, no one will lend it to you!"

She looked at the mother and daughter in front of her coldly, and satirized unceremoniously: "People like you still want to borrow things in the village, it's just a dream!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to go into the house, but Shen Xitang grabbed her arm and asked eagerly, "What do you mean by that, please tell me clearly!"

"What do you mean?" Li Ruqian sneered, "Who doesn't know that there is a corrupt official in your family, which one will lend you things!"

Most of the people in this village came in exile, some were implicated, and some were framed like their family.

Li Ruqian gritted her teeth with hatred for this corrupt official.

"That corrupt official belongs to Shen Jin's family. What does it have to do with us? Why didn't you go to her? Instead, you came to make things difficult for me!" Shen Xitang's eyes were red, and she felt more and more unfair.

Obviously they were implicated but they were embarrassed everywhere, so Shen Jin'an went to the county in a bullock cart early in the morning.

Maybe they've all been bought by now, and I'm ready to come back.

"You are all a family, so it's definitely not a good thing." Too lazy to talk nonsense with them, the woman closed the door with a disgusted expression.

"What should we do now?" Lin looked at Shen Xitang, full of unwillingness.

If she couldn't borrow an ox cart, she certainly wouldn't let it go.

"Let's go to the village chief! Let the village chief help!" Her eyes were full of anger.

Why should Shen Jin'an have to bear the consequences for what he did?
Lin nodded, wouldn't it be easy to borrow an ox cart?

"This is it, right?"

Shen Xitang checked the information: mahogany door, a jujube tree in front of the door, and vegetables on both sides.

"It should be right." Lin rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, "I'll knock on the door."

"Village chief, are you at home?"

"Here we come." The village head was finally called out by shouts, but the moment he saw them he lowered his face, "What are you doing here?"

If someone hadn't informed him yesterday, he wouldn't have known that there was such a big corrupt official hidden in this family.

"Village head, we want to borrow an ox cart to go to the county, but the villagers refuse to borrow it..." Lin was on the verge of weeping.

"No one is willing to borrow?" The village chief repeated what they said, with a cold expression on his face, "Cows are precious things, and it's normal if no one borrows them. You can go to the county on foot and buy a bullock cart and come back. You will need it in the future. .”

"But it's so far to the county..." Shen Xitang pursed her lips reluctantly, and was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"If you don't want to walk, don't go, and no one is forcing you." The village chief waved his hand impatiently, his tone raised a bit, "I said it yesterday, don't make trouble, or I will drive you out of the village."

After blasting them away, the village chief closed the door, and there was a coughing sound from the inner room.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the house, and supported him intimately: "What are you doing getting out of bed? Didn't the doctor tell you to take good care of your body..."

"I know, I still have to wait for Heng'er to come back!"

Hearing this, the village chief lowered his head slightly, his eyes sparkled, and he felt a little guilty.
