Chapter 54 The Big Tree Attracts the Wind
In less than 10 minutes, Lin Zhenghua walked into the yard with a smile on his face, holding a contract in his hand. Lin Dong took it over and looked at it. The signatures and seals were all complete, and the contract was also the one he had just read. He nodded. , returned the contract to his father, and said with a smile: "Don't worry now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lin Zhenghua said with a smile: "This time, I really feel relieved!"

"If it weren't for Xiaodong, you would still be deceived and kept in the dark!" He Yuying scolded him, "It will be good to listen to my son more in the future!"

Lin Zhenghua surprisingly didn't refute, nodded and said, "That's right, this time it's really thanks to Xiaodong. If you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded. Xiaodong, what do you want? I remember that you have to use a computer in college, right? Dad will buy it for you tomorrow." Go to the computer!"

Lin Dong shook his head: "I learned some skills in appraising treasures at school, and I also made some money by picking up leaks. You can keep the money at home, and you will need it in the spring of next year!"

Lin Dong's words made Lin Zhenghua and He Yuying look at each other. They both noticed the surprise and guilt in each other's eyes. As parents, it was their parents' fault that they couldn't let their son go to school without worrying about food and clothing. Dereliction of duty.

Lin Dong could tell what their parents were thinking just by looking at their expressions, he smiled and took Lin Zhenghua with one hand and He Yuying with the other, and said, "Dad, Mom, our family has a good time, so we should be happy, I am such an old man , you don’t want to let me gnaw at you, do you?”

"What's wrong with gnawing on the old?" He Yuying said as a matter of course: "As long as I can raise it, I'm willing to gnaw on the old!"

Hearing his mother's doting words, Lin Dong felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Let's stop talking, let's eat, I'm already hungry!"

"Okay, let's eat!" He Yuying waved his hand, "Son, let's go and see the delicious food I made for you!"

After eating, they cleaned up briefly, and the family sat on the sofa. Lin Zhenghua and He Yuying carefully asked about Lin Dong's situation at school.

Because Lin Dong had something on his mind, he briefly told about the school's affairs. When he heard that Lin Dong won the No. 1 quiz competition and won a prize of 1 yuan, both Lin Zhenghua and Lin Yuying showed relief on their faces. Xishen, in their opinion, even if Lin Dong earns [-] yuan working part-time, it is not as glorious as being successful in his studies!
Lin Dong finished the story briefly, and then asked, "Dad, how is the relationship between the people in the village and our family recently?"

Lin Zhenghua didn't expect Lin Dong to ask this matter, so he pondered for a while and said, "I don't feel any difference? It's all good!"

"What's so good!" He Yuying has already felt that her son's return this time is different from when he went to school before. She recalled and said: "Recently, when I went out to buy things in the village store, I felt that those old men and women looked at me. The eyes are not right, and the people who used to greet each other seem to have faded a lot, and they don’t pay much attention to people, Xiaodong, is this the problem you are talking about?"

Lin Dong nodded: "Yes! I just want to ask, is there any gossip in the village recently that is not good for our family?"

"No way?" Lin Zhenghua rubbed his head in a rough manner, "Our family has never provoked others, so how could we spread such a word?"

Lin Dong knew that his father didn't pay much attention to this, but the matter in front of him might not be that simple, he patiently explained: "Dad, our family doesn't mess with others, it doesn't mean that others don't mess with our family. Our family suddenly made money , Most people may not have any ideas, but there are always some people with malicious intentions, just like what happened today, if they succeed, will our family lose a lot of money?"

He Yuying nodded: "Exactly! I don't know how many people want our family to make money, but there are quite a few people who want to see our family's jokes these years! I remember how those people talked about our loss!"

After He Yuying said this, Lin Zhenghua stopped talking. It's not that he didn't know about these situations, it's just that a man has a big heart and didn't fully take these things to heart.From his point of view, these are trivial things. Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. You can't expect others to be as good to others as you are.

But let Lin Dong say this, he really felt a little uncomfortable, and said a little depressed: "Our family has earned money, and we have not lost anyone. People from the village came to borrow money, dozens of hundreds of thousands, I never refused, how could it be like this?"

"The big tree attracts the wind!" Lin Dong thought it over a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Who made us turn around so fast? We were the object of other people's jokes two years ago, and now we are the target of envy. Relationship!"

"Then what should we do?" He Yuying was a little worried, "It's not the way to always be like this? We can't keep guarding against others, can we?"

"Never mind him!" Lin Zhenghua has always been unfazed by such things, and waved his hand, "Let him go, I'll earn my money, he can say whatever he likes! I still don't believe they can rob me?"

As soon as he heard his father's words, a large amount of information immediately flooded Lin Dong's mind. He was stimulated and shook his head subconsciously: "No, I definitely can't deal with it passively like this! Dad, you'd better ask if there is any What bad rumors?"

Lin Zhenghua hesitated for a moment, then turned around and picked up the landline phone, dialed a number, and started asking questions.

Lin Dong took the opportunity to ask his mother: "Mom, is there any unsold fruit in our family?"

"Yes!" He Yuying got it wrong, thinking that Lin Dong wanted to eat, stood up and walked, and said, "There are hundreds of boxes left! Your father put them in the cellar and prepared to sell them during the Chinese New Year. What do you think?" Eat? I'll take it for you!"

"Don't!" Lin Dong hastily stopped He Yuying, "I'm just asking, and I'll wait for my dad to get the result."

Over there, Lin Zhenghua made two phone calls, his expression became strange, and after chatting with the other party for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Turning to face Lin Dong and He Yuying, he said with an angry and puzzled look: "Sure enough, there are people in the village who are slandering us, saying that we were established thanks to the village, and now that we are rich, other people in the village You can’t lose anything, and it’s also said that the contract was too low, so you should have asked for more contract fees at the beginning! Pooh! At that time, the barren hills were not given to others, and I spent money to contract them. At that time, no one Said that the contract fee is cheap!"

Lin Dong is not surprised at all. Many people are like this. They don't work hard, but they always hate the rich and the poor, and they have a dark mind.

"Then what should we do?" He Yuying suddenly thought of the consequences, and became a little worried, "They won't break the contract and take our mountain orchard back?"

"They dare!" Lin Zhenghua said with anger on his face, "If they dare, I will sue them!"

Lin Dong thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not impossible to sue, but it will be too late. I mean, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? We can't passively wait for them to come to find trouble, let's take the initiative!"

"Active?" Lin Zhenghua now admired his son a little, and asked, "How to take the initiative?"

Lin Dong smiled and said his idea.

Lin Zhenghua's eyes lit up when he heard it: "That's a good idea!"

PS: Thanks to Jiang Qiang's noodles, Tian Hai Ya Jiao, and Qing Feng Jian Xu for their rewards!
