After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 378 We are here to ask for money too

"Why did you come here?"

Xu Linzhi almost blurted out and asked how they came back, but fortunately she stopped herself at the critical moment.

"Why can't we come? This is the mansion your father bought with the money he earned from selling all of us. Let's go and see what's going on."

Some villagers curled their lips and looked at Xu Linzhi with disdain.

This family is like the blood-sucking leeches in the paddy field. They have sucked the blood and tears of these people dry, and only then can they live such a glamorous life.

"It's just right that you're back. Go and help clean up a few rooms. We've been exhausted these days. We can have a good rest after dinner..."

Lai Zi was very outgoing and started to boss Xu Linzhi around.

Ever since he came into this yard, he has regarded it as his own home. He doesn't care what others do. Anyway, he plans to stay here and not leave.

As for that dilapidated wooden shed in the north of the city, whoever wants to live there can go ahead, but he definitely doesn't want to go back there anyway.

It's so nice here, with a big yard and many rooms. Not only are there food and drinks, but there are also servants serving you. Anyone who doesn't stay would be the biggest fool in the world.

Lai Zi is not a big fool, and the others are even less stupid.

So at this time everyone began to agree with his words, saying that they all had to stay. In the future they would continue to live like they did in Xujia Village, where they could help each other and live a good life.

"This yard is so small, how can it possibly accommodate so many people?"

Hearing these people's shameless words, Xu Linzhi became anxious and couldn't help but yell.

"You guys leave right now. If you don't leave, I'll have someone report you to the police and have you all arrested and put in jail!"

She said this in a very decisive manner. These people were real peasants and they must be most afraid of reporting to the police.

Xu Linzhi thought of the two patrolling yamen runners she had met outside the alley before, and wondered whether she should send someone to call them over.

At most, she could just give them some more hard work pay. Anyway, she would rather give the money to those yamen runners than give it to the people in Xujia Village for free.

"Go report it, report it now if you have the guts..."

To Xu Linzhi's surprise, these people didn't even take reporting to the police seriously.

"Are you a girl who doesn't dare to report to the police? If you really have no other options, how about we go with you?"

Lai Zi glanced at Xu Linzhi, who hadn't reacted for a long time, and sneered with disdain.

"We are all honest civilians, but we were deceived and sold out by your father. If we really report to the authorities, we don't know who the magistrate will arrest..."

"It's really the bad guys who complain first. We didn't report it to the police because we are all family, but they still won't give in..."

"Maybe some people are rotten to the core, and they think we are still the ignorant farmers we used to be, so they want to fool us again..."

Everyone was talking excitedly, and Xu Linzhi tried to retort several times, but was constantly scolded and speechless.

After a few times, she stopped rushing to refute and calmly listened to those people scolding her until they were almost done. Then she said leisurely:

"Didn't my father just say that? He didn't do it on purpose. At most, he meant well but ended up doing something bad. As your daughter, I should apologize to you on his behalf, right?"

What a joke these people are. When they used to curry favor with her family, they were like wild dogs begging for food in the village. But now, they have all stood up and want to show off their power by coming to her house.

"What's the point of asking you to apologize?"

Xu Dashan glared, pointed at Xu Linzhi and started to curse:

"Your family is enjoying life in the city, but do you know how we survived in the mines?"

Every day there is either endless work to do or endless beatings to receive. I am so tired that I don't even have time to catch my breath.

"Anyway, I'm going to leave it at that today. If you want to settle this matter, it's not difficult. First, take out the money we paid for selling our bodies and redeem our indentures..."

When Xu Linzhi heard that these people wanted to ask for money, she felt relieved.

These people didn't make much money in the first place, and the others are gone, leaving only these few people. Even if they were given silver, they couldn't give much.

Xu Linzhi was calculating how much money she had left when she heard the lazy fellow looking around and saying:

"After you redeem our indentures, you can buy us a yard like this..."

This was simply a lion's mouth. Xu Linzhi immediately retracted his thoughts and immediately refuted:

"This yard was given to us by someone else. We are so poor that we have to beg for food. How can we afford to pay for it?"

Before, Xu Linzhi felt sorry for them and wanted to give them some money to get rid of them.

Looking back now, it is not so easy to satisfy these people.

Xu Linzhi had just been tricked by the people from Yunlan Pavilion, and she was already annoyed, but these people were still unreasonable and insisted on making trouble here...

However, when she thought of the ten taels of silver that had been cheated, a good idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"Calm down first, you all just want money, right? I have a way..."

"Hey...what's the solution? Why don't we listen to it together..."

Before Xu Linzhi finished her words, she was interrupted by a man's voice.

Everyone looked up and saw another group of people coming in. They were the familiar Xu Qinghai's family.

"Niece, if you have any solution, please tell us now. We are here to ask for money too."

Xu Qinghai and a few others entered the house and greeted everyone in Xujia Village. Looking at the scene in the house, they understood what was going on.

Only the original group of people from the Xu family came this time. As for the so-called concubines, when they were sent to build the dam, they were given to the officers and soldiers in order to get an easier job.

Of course, it didn’t matter that the three maids from Qin’s courtyard didn’t have indentures. They had already been sent away, and what happened next was none of their business.

I believe that if Qin is sensible, she would not dare to ask those officers and soldiers for the person.

With the help of these girls, the three brothers Xu Wenlin were sent to work with Xu Qinghai and others. Their family did not have to do those tiring and dangerous jobs, but just did some odd jobs outside.

Although he was also extremely tired, compared with Xu Qingrong and his son and others, it was already very easy.

"I've already said there is a way to get the money, so there must be a way. Untie everyone first and sit down and talk it over."

Facing so many people at this time, Xu Linzhi was not anxious at all.

On the contrary, she felt an inexplicable sense of excitement when she thought about what might happen next.
