Linxia

Chapter 94, Reaction

Qiao family, wait until the villagers leave.

Qiao Xu said, "I'm not surprised about Song Kai and Bai Bao. I saw some signs on the way to the capital. I also saw that Fang Lao San's son Lin Zi was different, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful and become rich so quickly."

As he spoke, he looked at his father, who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked in a daze, "Dad, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing!" Qiao Cunzheng waved his hands, but in his heart he remembered what his son said before, that on the way to the city, Bai Bao pushed Chen Ye from Guihua's house, and before leaving the city, he heard that Bai Bao and Guihua lived in the same alley...

"Bai Bao went to gamble, could it be related to Sister Guihua?"

He narrowed his eyes and thought about it in his mind but didn't say it out loud. Anyway, Sister Guihua was in the capital and they would basically have no dealings with her in the future. It was none of their business.

"That's right. The Song and Bai families are going to the city to collect the bodies. The relatives of the old Chen family next door may also send people to follow them. They want to wipe out the whole family, so they will inevitably have a fight with Guihua. But how can those people get away with Guihua?"

Qiao Cunzheng shook his head, hoping that no more people would die.

Of course, taking a step back, the relatives of Lao Chen's family in the next village are not from Xiaohe Village. If they really want to die, he can't stop them. What can he do? He can only let them die.

……

The old Fang family.

After leaving the main courtyard of Qiao Village, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang did not let the second and fourth wives go back, but directly called them to come to the first wife's side.

"Didn't we say before that the third brother's money was stolen on the way to the provincial capital, and we discussed how to collect some money to send to his family? Now that the third brother has become the manager of the dock, he should not be short of money, so there is no need to collect money... However, this time the Song and Bai families are going to the provincial capital to collect the bodies. It is a rare opportunity, so we should send someone to go and take a look." Grandpa Fang said.

"Yes!" Grandma Fang also said, "I discussed with your father that we will pay for the trip, and you three branches can choose which branch to send someone to go to the capital to visit the third family and see how they are doing."

Even if we go to the provincial capital, it is impossible for the whole family to go, so naturally one or two people from each family will be selected to go.

"Let my Bo Xian go!"

"My Zhonggui is fine lately!"

"Dad, Mom, I was just thinking about asking my Ji Ping to go and apologize to my third brother and his wife."

……

Unlike the last time they went to the provincial capital, this time, the first, second and fourth wives all wanted to go.

After all, the travel expenses paid by Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang this time can be considered as a "publicly funded tour". Also, Fang Lin's family is wealthy now, and this trip can help to bring them closer. Finally, that is the provincial capital. After hearing what Fang Lin said in his letters, they are itching to go and take a look to broaden their horizons.

As for the difficulties on the road?

The world is now prosperous and peaceful. As long as you don't take shortcuts and go to remote mountain valleys, you will hardly encounter any bandits. This is not like the last time you fled, carrying so many things. If you can wait slowly, you can also make an appointment with a caravan and follow it. If you are willing to pay more, you can even ride on a bullock cart all the way.

"okay."

Since Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang paid for it, they naturally had the confidence to make the decision. Grandpa Fang thought about it and said, "Then let the old family go!"

This was not just a partiality to the eldest wife, but he knew clearly in his heart: 'The second wife is too cunning, the fourth wife... the fourth wife, ah, that incident back then, the third wife's family went to the capital instead of the fourth wife's family, and they got sick and were robbed on the way. I wonder what the third wife's family thinks of the fourth wife?'

Yes, the third wife went to the provincial capital, and now she is prosperous and living a good life, but this is not an excuse to have no grudge against the fourth wife from now on.

……

Geng family.

"Last time I heard that your brother found a job in the capital, I was not convinced and thought I could do it. Now after hearing about Song Kai and Bai Bao, you feel much better, right?"

Father Geng looked at his eldest son Geng Cong and said, "The capital city is not that good. Count carefully. Apart from your brother Geng Shi and Zheng Yu who works as an apprentice in a restaurant, how many others are good? Those who work in factories seem to earn a lot, but in fact, they earn about the same as us who work in the fields."

"On the contrary, the world of glitz and glamour is so fascinating. If you really don't have a clear mind, just look at Bai Bao and Song Kai and you will know."

"I've figured it out, Dad." This time, Geng Cong really listened and let it go completely.

……

Fu family.

Mrs. Fu was so angry: "How could my son do such a thing? It's also because the pawnshop owner has no conscience and bullies people from our country. He deducts our wages too harshly, otherwise my son wouldn't..."

"okay."

Father Fu interrupted: "At that time, you said that Hongzi had become a city dweller and would be able to live in the capital city in the future. I said at the time that this kid would not last long. How could I not know this about my own son? You still didn't believe me and said that I cursed him..."

"It's a good thing that the boy had some sense and didn't get too close to Song Kai and Bai Bao. Otherwise, like I said, I would have to collect his body this time!"

Actually, after Fu Hong found the job in the pawnshop, he looked down on Song Kai and Bai Bao and didn't hang out with them; later, he was fired from the pawnshop and had to pay compensation. At this time, it was Song Kai and Bai Bao's turn to look down on Fu Hong and refused to play with him... Otherwise, it's hard to say how Fu Hong is now.

……

You family.

"Linzi is amazing. Not only is he capable, but he also helped Uncle Fang become successful. He is unlike Song Kai and Bai Bao, who are such shit."

When they came back from the capital, because Fang Lin "let bygones be bygones", You Chaodong became a "Fang Lin fan". "Linzi is really amazing."

The You family's wife nodded: "At the beginning, I saw that Song Kai and Bai Bao would not last long. Now it seems that it is true! I also saw that Linzi was promising, but I didn't expect him to be so promising. He has become rich so soon. There is still a long time to go. Who knows how far Linzi can go!"

"Yes, thanks to you, my wife, for helping Fang Lin's family send a message before leaving to establish a good relationship."

You Chaodong said, looking outside, with a worried look on his face: "Over the years, our area has been flooded... A few days ago, it suddenly snowed, and it snowed for several days in a row, and then it suddenly stopped. This weather is very strange. I heard from the peddlers walking around the streets that central Henan and Shandong have been suffering from drought for years... I wonder what the world will be like in the future?"

"Isn't it? Building a good relationship with Linzi is also a way out. If he becomes really rich in the future and the land is really in trouble, we still have a place to go..."

……

Zheng family.

After returning, Zheng's wife patted her chest, her face full of lingering fear: "Thanks, thanks to our son for waking up! At that time, you also said, 'The Song family is a relatively close relative. When you are away from home, let your son get closer to the rich people of the Song family so that he can take care of you when something happens.' Now listen to this again, do you blush?"

"It's a good thing that our son woke up early and stayed away from Song Kai and Bai Bao, the two disaster stars. Otherwise, let alone finding a job in a restaurant, he might even lose his life this time!"

Father Zheng lowered his head and let his daughter-in-law talk without daring to refute. To be honest, he was also scared!

"At the beginning, I was indeed wrong. Alas, who would have thought that Song Kai... Wife, I was wrong."

"It's good that you know you're wrong. Tonight..."

"Okay, I won't go to bed!" Zheng's father hurriedly replied, agreeing readily. If you listen carefully, you can seem to hear a hint of amnesty in his words.

"Bah, Zheng Dongxing, you're dreaming. Twice today... no, three times..."

……

Song family.

There was a sad and miserable atmosphere.

"Master, our son has been beheaded..." Song Liu asked sadly, and it was obvious that she wanted to go to the provincial capital to collect the body.

"Ugh!"

Song Guangcheng sighed, "Go, how can I not go? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He and I are father and son. I say 'sever ties' and 'just pretend I don't have such a son', but how can I really cut them off so easily?"

……

White House.

"I'm going to the city to bring my baby back." Old Mrs. Bai said firmly.

"Mom, the city is so far away and it's not easy to get there, and you're old..." Bai Lao Da's wife persuaded.

In fact, she wanted to say that Bai Bao was dead and might have rotted and been buried by now.

"It's not time to flee. I can still hold on to the capital. If I don't go, who will? If I really leave my precious child outside, he won't even have paper money to burn during festivals. He will be a wandering ghost! Fallen leaves return to their roots. How can I let my precious child drift around outside all alone?"

As Mrs. Bai spoke, she burst into tears: "My dear, wait for me. I will take you home!"

……

Old Chen’s house.

The affairs of Song Kai and Bai Bao reached the ears of the close relatives of Old Chen's family in the neighboring village, causing them to gather together again. Their purpose, of course, was still unwillingness to give up, and they wanted to seize this opportunity to wipe out Old Chen's family.

"This time, the people from Xiaohe Village are going to the city to collect the bodies. It sounds like they are going with the caravan. This is a good opportunity. We need someone to go!"

"Yes, I heard that many people from Xiaohe Village stayed in the city. When we get there, we can ask them about it. We won't be afraid of not finding osmanthus flowers."

"Once we find that bitch Guihua, we'll have to get our Chen family's stuff out of her mouth, no matter if we use soft or hard tactics, or even block the door and make a scene, or file a lawsuit... The land that the Chen family sold, and the compensation that Chen Daqiang and Old Lady Chen received when they died, that's a lot of money. Once we get it out, each of our families will get a good share."

……

The people in the old Chen family discussed and prepared to pool together the travel expenses for three people to go: Chen Guiyun, Chen Feng and his wife, and Widow Chen.

The couple Chen Guiyun and Chen Feng are well-known for not wanting to suffer any loss, and the widow Chen is even more difficult to deal with. As a widow, she has some looks, but no one has ever heard of anyone taking advantage of her. They are not easy to mess with.

So, it was settled that these three people would go to the provincial capital with the hope of wiping out the entire Chen family, and would be on their way soon.

……

Fang Lin's letter, Fu Hong's letter, and the news from Song Kai and Bai Bao had an earth-shattering impact on Xiaohe Village and caused a huge stir.

This also triggered the follow-up. Not long after, people from the Fang family who were going to the provincial capital to visit, people from the Song and Bai families who were going to collect corpses, and people from the Chen family who wanted to eat the whole family, all set out to follow the caravan to the provincial capital. Who knows what kind of storm will be brewing.

……

　Today's nearly 7,000 words are to lay the groundwork, because the protagonist will need a team in the future, and it is impossible for him to just wave his arm and the villagers will follow him.
