The Lin family really knew how to demand an exorbitant price.
However, did they think that Lin Yuelan would give them the money they wanted?
…
Lin Yuelan had instructed Little Green to keep an eye on Lin Laosan’s family ever since Lin Sanniu came.
After Liu Jiayi had eaten the dumplings, she played around for a while before she was pulled back by Zhou Wencai.
After all, Liu Jiaying was a girl. Going out alone with a man might already cause gossip. If she stayed out all night, it would damage her reputation.
Liu Jiaying reluctantly left Lin Yuelan’s house. Before she left, she repeatedly reminded her that she must go to the Liu residence to find her when Lin Yuelan was in town.
Lin Yuelan nodded with a smile.
Before he left, Zhou Wencai glanced at Jiang Zhennan with a complicated expression.
The night was quiet and cool!
The group of people outside the courtyard went to bed one after another under the bright moon in the sky.
Lin Yuelan was sleeping in her room. In case of any accidents, she would lock the door every night because she had to enter the space from time to time.
“Master, those people are really too evil.” Little Green said angrily as soon as they entered the space. He had jumped down from Lin Yuelan’s wrist and went to the river to drink some spirit spring water to replenish his energy.
After that, he found two more green crystals. The moment his tip touched them, the two crystals turned into powder. Little Green’s body then became more jade-like than before.
“Now they’re actually planning how to take over the house we’re living in.” Little Green said indignantly. Little green was so angry that its sharp tips were slightly red. “They want to take it back on the ground that it is the Lin family’s ancestral property. If you want to continue living here, you have to take out 500 taels of silver to buy it from them.”
Lin Yuelan stroked Little Green’s sharp bud and raised her eyebrows. “Five hundred taels?” She had only sold the ginseng for 500 taels of silver. Were they really not going to leave her a single copper coin?
At the mention of this, Little Green’s two green leaves gathered together as it said, “master, they want 500 taels because they think that you managed to sell the ginseng for 1000 taels. Thus, they want half of your money, thinking that they’re being kind.”
Lin Yuelan was slightly surprised. How could she not know that her ginseng was actually sold for a thousand taels?
Little Green could see Lin Yuelan’s confusion. He explained, “that day when Master was selling ginseng at Lin’s medicine shop, Liu Liujiao was there. She overheard the haggling and thought that the ginseng was sold for 800 taels. Then, as the rumor spread, it became that master had sold the ginseng for 1000 taels.”
Lin Yuelan had never been curious about the rumors in the village. Seeing that his master was busy, Little Green naturally did not want to disturb her with such a small matter.
However, he didn’t expect that those despicable, selfish, and greedy people would continually think of ways to snatch money from his master.
Lin Yuelan frowned slightly and asked, “Little Green, when do they plan to take action?”
To her, everyone in the Lin family Village, including Lin Laosan’s family, was a small annoyance. She didn’t take them to heart. However, that didn’t mean that she would allow them to do as they pleased.
Little Green said, “their plan is for Lin Laosan to bring Lin Daniu and Lin Erniu to invite the village elders, while Li Cuihua will bring Lin Sanniu’s family over to cause a ruckus.”
Lin Yuelan slightly raised her eyebrows, “village elders?”
Lin Qi was in bed, so the only village elders left were Lin Jiu, Lin Shen, and Lin An. Liu Jiu was Lin Qi’s younger brother.
Lin Shen had some ties with Lin Laosan’s family. He was the youngest son of Lin Laosan’s grandfather, so Lin Laosan had to call him uncle. As a member of the Lin family, he was not willing to give the Lin family’s things to an outsider. Moreover, the outsider was a jinx for his family.
Lin An was Lin Yiwei’s uncle, and he was the most senior elder in the family.
However, because his cousin was the Lin family Village chief, he didn’t care much about what happened in the village. He left everything to Lin Yiwei and never interfered with Lin Yiwei’s decisions.
Three years ago, Lin Yiwei had asked him for help because it involved a life. In other words, Lin An was on Lin Yiwei’s side.
