After everything was unloaded, Lin Ershui also took the ox cart off, tied the ox to the parasol tree in the yard, and then instructed Erhu, "Erhu, if you have nothing to do, go to the hillside and cut some grass, this ox has been walking all the way from town and is quite exhausted, so you must take good care of it."
Erhu was full of black lines, deliberately saying, "Second Uncle, am I not even as well-treated as an ox?"
Look at this hot weather, sending him to the hillside to cut grass, not worried about sunburning him to a crisp.
"Nonsense." Lin Ershui uncharacteristically joked with the junior, "This ox is more precious than you!"
"Pfft!" Gu Nian couldn’t hold back and laughed.
Erhu, with a bitter melon look, momentarily later, cheerfully gathered around, "Second Uncle, I’ll lead the ox to the hillside to eat, it can choose what it wants at least."
He could also take the opportunity to show off and enjoy the envious looks of others.
Lin Ershui saw through his thoughts, "I see you want to go out and show off, don’t you?"
Erhu chuckled twice and led the ox out.
No one was home, so with only Lin Ershui and Gu Nian, a little girl, there was nothing much to say, so he didn’t stay long and left.
When Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang returned, their expressions weren’t too good.
Gu Nian asked, "Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?"
From Lin Ershui’s words, you could tell that everyone thought Lin Man’s family left the village because their family interfered.
Last time, Lin Pandi had also come to her, but Gu Nian simply didn’t believe her family had such capability.
No one answered Gu Nian’s question; Mrs. Jiang looked at Lin Sanshui with difficulty, "Dear, why don’t you go to the village chief to find out what’s really going on?"
Since Lin Man’s family was driven out of the village, they encountered some bad things and had no choice but to return to the village for help. Everyone in the village thought their family was unforgiving.
Such a grave injustice.
Pushing Lin Man’s family out of the village wasn’t something they did; they didn’t have that ability!
Alas, speaking the truth, no one believed them.
"Now we can only do that." Lin Sanshui said dejectedly.
When Lin Sanshui returned from the village chief’s house, he asked Gu Nian, "Niannian, last time when you were pushed into the water by Little Niu, did Young Master Nan say anything?" The source of thɪs content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
Gu Nian was taken aback.
The bit of confusion in her heart seemed to clear up instantly.
But back then, she wasn’t that familiar with Nan Jin Yu, even though he secretly helped her.
Logically, if Nan Jin Yu really wanted something from her, he should let her know of his help, shouldn’t he?
"No, did Nan say anything to me?" Gu Nian asked, feigning confusion.
"Nothing, you keep playing." Lin Sanshui said dismissively, gesturing for Mrs. Jiang to follow him inside.
Later, Gu Nian found out that after Lin Man’s family was driven out, they spent some money to settle in another village.
But every village has exclusionary people, especially since it’s not difficult to find out they were driven out of their original village.
In a few days, Lin Man’s family faced ostracism.
According to Mrs. Zhang and Little Niu’s temper, coupled with the current situation, issues that could have passed with a bit more tolerance and tact unfortunately escalated to an unmanageable point.
When Lin Man brought his family back, nearly everyone was bruised, desperately kneeling at the village chief’s gate begging for mercy.
Of course, these were things Gu Nian overheard while standing aside as Mrs. Jiang and Lin Sanshui were talking.
