Lin Wenshan knew in his heart that the gambler's words could not be trusted.

After he went out, he handed the money to Mr. Lin and specifically warned: "This is the only time. If you are soft-hearted and give all the money to the boss, don't blame me for being cruel in the future."

Mr. Lin was completely disappointed with Lin Yaozu and immediately nodded in agreement: "I understand, second brother, thank you."

He took the silver, turned and left.

Looking at Mr. Lin's thin back when he left, Lin Wenshan felt very uncomfortable.

"Dad, I understand that you are worried about this family."

"But to be honest, I can't blame you for this. We really didn't take care of Lin Yaozu before. Hey, why do you think my brother has become like this now?"

Lin Chujiu did not object to Lin Wenshan borrowing money. In fact, she also understood that although the family was separated and the relationship was severed, she would still be thinking about the past.

Also, when I was at home, although Mr. Lin was not a kind grandfather, he never treated us too harshly. At least I didn't stand by and do nothing like now, not doing anything to help.

After all, he is Wenshan's father. This blood relationship and filial piety cannot be broken off at the drop of a hat.

Let's close the courtyard door and go back to the house to continue eating. After dinner, the family cleaned up and chatted.

"Dad, it will be spring planting time in a few days, and we still have to run back and forth between the town and the village."

"Then let's only go to the town to open a store during meals every day, and go to the fields to sow seeds at other times."

Lin Chujiu considered that farming was also very important, so he thought of a compromise, "There are four people in our family, so we can definitely finish planting the land quickly."

After hearing this suggestion, the couple agreed and decided to start spring planting before the spring rain came.

Lin Wenshan, Lin Chujiu, and Yuan Jing cooperated in a tacit understanding and were extremely efficient. The sowing was completed within half a month.

In contrast, the performance of the Lin Family Dafang was disappointing.

Lin Yaozu and Lin Qian were lazy by nature and unwilling to participate in farm work; Lin Zhang was old and frail and unable to do what they wanted; Lin Ming was still young and was not familiar with farming.

Spring planting is more than half over, and their family has not finished sowing half of their fields. Seeing that time was running out, Lin Zhang was extremely anxious and urged Lin Yaozu and Lin Qian to speed up the progress.

Lin Yaozu came up with a plan and decided to borrow Aunt Zhang's oxen to plow the fields. He hurried to Aunt Zhang's house, hoping to use the power of cattle to complete spring planting as soon as possible.

When he arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, he knocked on the door. As soon as he saw Aunt Zhang, he said, "Hey, Aunt Zhang, can I borrow your scalper? I will return it to you in two days."

You know, in the whole village, Aunt Zhang's family is the only one with cattle.

If cattle were used to plow the land, it would be much more efficient.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang told him with a smile: "Oh, what a coincidence, my cow has been lent to someone else. It just left."

Lin Yaozu was a little unhappy when he heard this. How could it be such a coincidence?

He looked at Aunt Zhang and asked, "Did you really lend it out?"

Aunt Zhang nodded affirmatively: "Of course, we are all from the same village. If you can borrow it, I will definitely borrow it. It's just that you came a little late."

When Lin Yaozu came over just now, he didn't find anyone leaving Aunt Zhang's house. There was malice in his eyes, which made Aunt Zhang feel uneasy. Lin Yaozu turned and left without listening to Aunt Zhang's explanation.

The village had something to say about Lin Yaozu. Ever since he got involved in gambling, his whole person has changed. Not only did he beat his wife, he couldn't even save his family property.

Villagers generally believe that once involved in gambling, they cannot be trusted. But Lin Yaozu obviously does not believe this view.

When he left, he also said harsh words, saying he wouldn't borrow it if he didn't want to, just wait and see!

In the evening, the cow came back.

Aunt Zhang took it into the cowshed and tied it up, then went back to the house to sleep. As a result, early the next morning, Aunt Zhang ran to feed the cow and found the cow lying on the ground motionless. She was frightened and ran over to take a look. Her limbs were stiff and her body was cold.

"My scalpers are so pitiful!" Aunt Zhang sat on the ground and cried.

"The scalper was still alive and kicking yesterday, why did something happen today?"

Her husband and mother-in-law both relied on the cow for work. Now that the scalper is gone, how will they live?

Everyone felt sorry that the cow had to help every house in the village when it was busy, so why did it end up like this for his own family. The neighbors comforted Aunt Zhang to deal with it calmly, and her husband also came out, hoping that there could be a solution.

Moreover, this cow is the backbone of the family. Lin Chujiu even praised it before.

Seeing Aunt Zhang's hurried look, her husband asked her, "What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? I have to find someone in the village who can watch to see what's going on!" Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she almost shed tears.

Lao Zhang originally wanted to persuade her, but thinking about how diligent this cow has been and how much he has paid for the family, he felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Aunt Zhang hurried to the door of Lin Chujiu's house and knocked hard.

Lin Chujiu was about to go to town when he heard a knock on the door and came out to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw Aunt Zhang looking helpless.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chujiu quickly put down what he was holding, walked over and asked, "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"Girl, can you help aunt? I really don't know what to do!" Aunt Zhang burst into tears as she spoke.

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was so anxious, Lin Chujiu quickly helped her into the house: "Aunt, don't be anxious. Please speak slowly, what's going on?"

Aunt Zhang wiped her tears: "My scalper died for some reason!"

Lin Chujiu had a guess in his mind, but there was no evidence and he couldn't talk nonsense.

Aunt Zhang added: "I know you know this, so I want to ask your help to take a look."

Lin Chujiu nodded, picked up the medicine box and said, "Let's go then."

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, originally thinking that Lin Chujiu was getting ready to go out.

She heard from people in the village that Lin Chujiu opened a noodle shop in the town, and the business was very good, so he must be very busy.

Looking at the people in front of her, Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and asked, "Jiu'er, if I bother you so much, I won't delay your work, right?"

Lin Chujiu smiled and said, "Don't delay, Auntie's matter is important."

Aunt Zhang was very kind to her. If she hadn't helped inform her again and again, she might still not be able to live in a new house now. She is a person who always repays kindness. If others treat her better, she will return it tenfold!

It’s not easy especially for Aunt Zhang.

The two people walked quickly and soon arrived at Aunt Zhang's house.

Something didn't look right about the scalper, its limbs were as stiff as wood, foam was forming at the corners of its mouth, and its eyes were wide open. He was quite energetic yesterday, how could he suddenly become like this?

Lin Chujiu didn't hesitate. After asking Aunt Zhang, he cut open the scalper to see what was going on. She found that the color of the blood, whether it was veins or arteries, was wrong and dark.

She took off her gloves and said, "This cow was poisoned to death."
