Chapter 341 Sister-in-law, please, throw them out!
Lin Chang'er paused. What? Her sister-in-law was beaten up? This is outrageous!
Lin Chang'er was frantic. She said to the guests, "Excuse me for a moment," and grabbed Niu Xiaomei, saying, "Let's talk as we walk!"
She walks fast and long, and you, Xiaomei, can only catch up with her by running.
Niu Xiaomei felt that Sister-in-law Gu should not be bullied for nothing, so she didn't hide anything when she came in and shouted loudly.
The surrounding guests all heard it clearly.
"Where did this brat come from, daring to mess with the Gu family! Let's go, everyone, go and see what's going on, we'll definitely get an explanation for Sister-in-law Gu!"
Chen Shan's long, upturned mustache.
He was a scholar, and everyone, from the villagers in the countryside to the wealthy merchants like Lao Zhu, respected him.
Not to mention scholars like Chen Zhao, Li Xun, and Gu Ziyan.
On this side, the call was met with almost universal approval.
The situation is quite different for the villagers in Linshui Village.
Zhou Hai and Elder Huo immediately ordered their subordinates to investigate, and declared that if anyone in the clan was involved, regardless of who it was, they would be punished according to family law.
Lin Yanqing, Gu Silang, Zhou Li, and Xiao Jinyu immediately started working on their equipment. The younger ones were usually taken care of by Gu's sister-in-law.
They all shouted in unison, "Whoever dares to hit my aunt, I'll break their legs!"
Fortunately, they only talked about it; none of them actually dared to be the first to charge.
Only when the adults started moving did the boys and girls start running after them.
While Lin Chang'er was eager to find out what was going on, Niu Xiaomei didn't know much either. "I saw those guys; they looked like they were from out of town. They had dark skin, their clothes were patched, and they looked very fierce."
"There's no one like that in our village anymore."
Indeed, since the Lin family was exiled and the coastal defense team repeatedly repelled the pirates, several nearby villages have come to inquire about building a coastal defense team. The hearts of the people in the entire Linshui Village have also turned towards the Gu family, namely Lin Chang'er.
At least one person in every household works for Lin Chang'er. The wages are normal, but Lin Chang'er provides good benefits.
Short working hours, many holidays, and a meal is provided.
After the workers have eaten, they can go to the workshop's canteen to get a vegetarian rice bowl for one cent to take home for their families.
The cafeteria uses large pots, so you only take as much as you can eat. Therefore, there is no such thing as leftover food; it's just leftovers.
Lin Chang'er was particular about food, using only the best rice and flour. The men were paid 30 coins a day, and the portions were generous, with two meals enough for three people.
If it includes some meat, it will cost two coins more, but no matter how you calculate it, it's still much more economical than cooking at home.
With better food, people naturally become healthier, children grow stronger, and people even have spare money to buy new clothes.
Zhou Hai was happy, but he was also afraid that the villagers would eventually take Chang'er's kindness to the village for granted.
So every now and then I would meet with the elders of several families for tea and a chat, reminding them who brought them their good life and telling them they must not be confused, otherwise, if Chang'er angered them and left, they wouldn't even know who to cry to.
The elders, being shrewd and experienced, went back and repeatedly reminded the clansmen to remember the good deeds of Gu Jia, for only when Gu Jia prospered would they prosper.
So the elderly people who didn't work there would send firewood to the workshop on weekdays. Fearing that Lin Chang'er wouldn't accept it, they agreed to secretly put it in the workshop's firewood shed and then quickly slip away, forbidding anyone to mention it.
The woman tending the fire usually only notices that there seems to be more firewood than usual, and she can guess that someone must have secretly sent some, but she can never find out who it is.
This two-way approach even seemed to soften his appearance.
Lin Chang'er didn't think too much about it, and only said, "No matter where they came from, it's definitely unacceptable for them to hit my sister-in-law."
Niu Xiaomei nodded, "Absolutely, those people are shameless, several of them beat up my sister-in-law."
"Although Chunhua and I rushed over as soon as we saw my sister-in-law fighting with them, those guys were really strong."
"Fortunately, my sister-in-law is strong enough, and my second brother and the others returned in time; otherwise, they would have suffered a great loss."
Lin Chang'er was preoccupied with Sister-in-law Gu and didn't notice the Second Brother Gu that she was talking about.
Instead, they were puzzled: "Where are the patrolling brothers?" In the past, whenever a stranger wanted to enter the village, their identity had to be verified at the village entrance before they could enter.
Niu Xiaomei paused, then said, "Isn't today your housewarming day, Sister Chang'er? Perhaps you came in following some important people."
Lin Chang'er said "Oh," and realized that made sense. However, it was fine for ordinary people, but what if they encountered sea pirates?
Thinking this, I turned the corner and arrived at the old house.
A large crowd had gathered in front of the old house, and several patrolmen had also arrived, making a noisy scene as if they were cursing a few troublemakers.
Lin Chang'er spotted Gu Dasao being supported by He Chunhua and Wang Xing'er on either side of the crowd. There was also a young man in a light shirt standing in the crowd who looked somewhat familiar.
But at this moment, Lin Chang'er was preoccupied with her sister-in-law Gu and paid little attention to any young man.
"Sister-in-law, how are you!" Lin Chang'er pulled Niu Xiaomei along and ran over.
When the villagers who had been gathered outside saw her arrive, they spontaneously made way for her.
Lin Chang'er walked in and first saw Gu Dasao's swollen face and disheveled hair, but her clothes were fine.
Sister-in-law Gu's eyes were red, and when she saw Lin Chang'er, she couldn't stop her tears, "Chang'er..."
He lowered his gaze, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I'm fine. Just throw them out and don't let them come here again!"
Lin Chang'er raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, "Today is a good day for our family, don't cry, or you'll cry away our good fortune!"
"The villagers are right behind us. Today we are definitely going to get justice for you."
“You think you can just walk out of Linshui Village as if nothing happened after you’ve been hit? That won’t do.”
She was trying to comfort Sister-in-law Gu, but she always felt as if a gaze was watching her intently from the side.
She didn't care about anything else and was about to turn around and lash out when Sister-in-law Gu grabbed her hand tightly and almost pleaded, "Chang'er, I beg you, throw them out!"
Lin Chang'er frowned. Why was her sister-in-law reacting like this?
Needless to say, something is definitely going on, and it's not something that can be discussed openly.
After looking around at the villagers who had gathered around, Sister Gu gripped her hand even tighter, her eyes becoming increasingly earnest.
Lin Chang'er was unwilling to let these people go so easily, but she couldn't disregard her sister-in-law's wishes.
His eyes darted around twice before he looked at the two men who were tied together and thrown on the ground. He couldn't tell if they had been beaten or scared, but they were already unconscious.
An elderly woman, slumped to the side, sweating profusely, spoke in a cold voice, "You all heard what I just said clearly. Today is a joyous occasion for the Gu family's housewarming, and my sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family's eldest branch."
"If you dared to touch her, I would never have let you leave so easily."
“It’s my sister-in-law’s generosity that she’s letting you off the hook. From now on, you are not allowed to come near any part of my Linshui Village.”
"Eleventh Brother!" she called out.
"Here I am!" Huo Shiyi immediately squeezed through the crowd.
Lin Chang'er: "Gag them and throw these three out!" After saying that, she secretly winked at him.
Huo Shiyi immediately understood, nodded secretly, and called a few brothers to take the men away.
After they left, the villagers who had been watching also dispersed, rushing to their feast.
Lin Chang'er patted the back of Gu Dasao's hand and prepared to return to the new house.
Just then, a familiar male voice came from beside her, "Chang'er..."
