Chapter 26 I’m going to be busy tonight
It's more than ten kilometers from here to the town, and there are several mountains to climb. It's good for an ordinary person to carry twenty or thirty kilograms of stuff back and forth. If it is transported by bullock cart, it may not be possible to reach the city even in the dark. Stone mines are not expensive to begin with, so it would be better to make more money than going out to work.
After saying that, everyone fell into thinking.
What Lin Xiaofan said was indeed reasonable. If the quarry was given to them, they would not make any money.
Seeing that his speech had an effect, Lin Xiaofan then said:
"But don't worry, folks, I will definitely take you all to make money together in the future."
Seeing that most of the villagers had been convinced, Li Dali Newton was not happy at all. If Lin Xiaofan really became prosperous, then he wouldn't be allowed to take revenge on himself? Will I be able to survive in the future?
"Folks, don't be deceived by Lin Xiaofan. Think about it, the weather is going well this year, but if a famine comes and the crops don't grow, then you have to rely on selling stone mines to make a living?"
Li Daniu found a reason in panic and tried to persuade the villagers.
"It's ridiculous! If a famine comes, how can you buy food to eat even if you have money?"
Lin Xiaofan directly responded to Li Daniu's illogical words.
During famine years, food is in short supply and prices are bound to rise sharply. By then, I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy much even if I have money.
Li Daniu wanted to find another reason, but Li Zheng raised his hand to stop him:
"Daniu, that's enough! This stone mine originally belongs to Lin Xiaofan. Giving it is a matter of affection and not giving it is a duty. Besides, even if you give it to us, we can't make any money."
Seeing the village chief speak, everyone sighed and prepared to go home and sleep.
The sigh was not because Lin Xiaofan refused to mine the stone, but because he missed an opportunity to make money.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Sisi ran over directly.
"Husband, you are so powerful, you are really turned into lime."
As a fragrance came, the beauty came into his arms, and Lin Xiaofan hugged her subconsciously.
Liu Sisi's body was so soft, as if she had no bones, and it was especially comfortable to hold her.
"That's right, don't look at who I am, your husband."
Lin Xiaofan raised his head proudly, lowered his head and sniffed her hair. It smelled so good.
"Sir, if we make lime, we can have enough to eat every time."
Liu Sisi blinked her big eyes, clasped her hands tightly, and looked at Lin Xiaofan expectantly.
Happiness came so suddenly that she couldn't even imagine it.
After all, she was still hungry two days ago.
Lin Xiaofan was amused by Liu Sisi's appearance, rubbed her head with his hand, and said with a smile:
"Of course, I promise you that from now on, not only will you be able to eat every meal, but you will also eat meat every meal until you are tired of it!"
After receiving a positive answer, Liu Sisi jumped up happily:
"Really? That's great. From now on, I'll have meat to eat every meal!"
Everyone was amused by Liu Sisi's appearance. At the same time, they were also happy from the bottom of their hearts. In the days to come, as long as you work hard, you will have enough to eat. For them in the past, this was something they couldn't even imagine.
"But having said that, we still have a very important task to do tonight."
After being happy, Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to preach.
"Ah? What mission?"
Li Xiaoran asked with some confusion.
It's so late tonight, it's impossible to continue making lime. As for the house, it was almost tidied up, and she couldn't think of any other tasks to do.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was piqued, Lin Xiaofan immediately spoke:
"Catch a thief."
Catch a thief? Where did the thief come from?
Stealing is a very bad behavior, so there are rules handed down from ancestors in the village. If someone is caught stealing, they will be kicked out, or beaten to death on the spot. Therefore, as long as it is not a famine year that can starve people to death, no one will steal anything in the village.
As for people outside the village, it is even more impossible. Their house is so shabby, a normal thief would never even take a look at it. Moreover, the food was stored in the house. Even if you looked at it, you could only see a pile of stones and firewood.
"Husband, where did the thief come from?"
Everyone thought for a long time, but they couldn't figure out where a thief would come to steal their things.
"Li Daniu will definitely feel jealous when he sees that I can make lime and live a good life in the future. At the same time, he will also feel that if I can make lime with my ability, he must also be able to make lime. When he makes lime, he will There is a reason for the village to take back my land. So I predict that he will go to the mine tonight to steal some stones and go back to study it himself."
Lin Xiaofan calmly stated his speculation.
After everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
With Li Daniu's temperament, there is indeed a high possibility of stealing tonight.
"Husband, you are so smart!"
Liu Sisi praised from the bottom of her heart.
"Okay, then let's catch him tonight and send him to Li Zheng. Then according to the rules, he will be driven out of the village. With his lazy and lazy temperament, he will die if he goes out."
Liu Yanyan said excitedly. She had long disliked that Li Daniu, who looked so ugly and had a bad mouth.
"Yes, let's drive him out of the village together!"
Liu Sisi also echoed with excitement on her face. She picked up a wooden stick in her hand and waved it hard. She seemed to have thought of the scene where Li Daniu starved to death in a foreign country.
"No, we can't drive him out of the village tonight. He went to the mine to steal stones. Even if we catch him, we can't leave any evidence."
Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and said.
This is not modern, there are no cameras or other things to take pictures. Even if Liu Daniu is caught, as long as he refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to him.
After hearing this, Liu Yanyan and Liu Sisi felt as if a basin of water had been poured on their heads.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of a way.
"Then let's call Li Zheng. If Li Zheng is the case, we can prove it."
"No, even if we saw it together with Li Zheng, it would be difficult to prove that he stole something."
Liu Shishi shook her head gently.
If a random family member and Li Zheng testify together, it can prove that a person stole something, and the cost of unjustly accusing someone would be too low.
"But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, we will catch him, beat him up, and make him hand over the money. There is nothing he can do. After all, he stole the thing first."
Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and finally thought of a way. Although he couldn't avoid future troubles, he could still vent his anger.
"Good idea! Let's do it!"
Liu Yanyan was gearing up and ready to make a move.
……
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of breaking things kept coming from Li Daniu's house.
"I'm so angry, so angry! This little bastard Lin Xiaofan cheated me out of six taels of silver in two days!"
