Chapter 154 If they refuse, then their entire clan will be kicked out.
Lin Chang'er looked at Lin Dashan, who was lying on the ground like a dead fish or a rotten shrimp, and sneered, "You want to eat everything? How about you take the beating?"
As he spoke, he handed the sword back to Wu Qingfeng, then turned to look at Zhou Hai and Old Huo, "Uncle Hai, Old Huo, now is the time for us to unite in resisting the invasion of the pirates."
"Such a black sheep who puts the cart before the horse must not be tolerated."
Zhou Hai and Old Huo both agreed. Zhou Hai said, "This Lin family has caused trouble in Linshui Village many times, with particularly bad influence. Why don't we take this opportunity to drive them out of the village?"
Old Huo frowned. "Just kicking them out of the village is too lenient for them."
Lin Chang'er chimed in, "Old Huo is right, it can't be this cheap. Besides, there was more than one company that came with him, but it's clear that he was the leader."
"Uncle Hai, go write a letter and ask Brother Zhou to take your elder brother to the county government. Uncle Hai, stay here and find a few men to tie up Lin Dashan and take him to the threshing ground. Then ask the elders of the Lin family to carry out the family discipline."
Zhou Hai hesitated, "The Lin family might not agree to this."
Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "If they refuse, then let the whole group get out of here."
Zhou Hai smiled wryly, "Lin is a common surname."
Lin Chang'er narrowed her eyes, "It's fine if they don't leave. Most of the Lin family lives on the other side of the river. We can patrol again and leave them alone. If the pirates attack again, they can still organize their own resistance."
"Those elders should be able to tell what's important and what's not." If they choose to bring about their own destruction, then they can't blame her.
“This…” Zhou Hai still felt troubled. After all, it was a village. Although the Lin family was outrageous, if they were really slaughtered, what would he say to his superiors later?
Wu Qingfeng seized the opportunity to fan the flames: "Uncle Hai, you are the village head of Linshui Village, and you are responsible for all the villagers of Linshui Village. The Lin family is taking advantage of the village to loot. Not to mention driving them out of the village, you can even hand them over to the authorities."
"Moreover, the Lin clan members have been exploiting the descendants of the deceased and bullying orphans. They are usually unruly and willful. If we don't suppress them severely now, they might try to cause trouble again."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai hardened his heart and said, "Alright, let's do as Chang'er says."
Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng exchanged a glance, then turned to Gu Dalang and said, "Brother, when you go back later, fill a bowl with raw dumplings. After the Lin clan elders finish performing the family discipline, feed them to him."
She always keeps her word; didn't he want to eat?
Okay, give it to him, so he'll never forget it.
After saying that, she thought of something and looked at Zhou Hai, "Also, Uncle Hai, please invite Granny Zhou and the others over to sit down and tell them what happened. If any women start arguing or fighting, let them have their way. I will prepare a thank you gift."
After arranging everything, Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng went back to the Gu family home and had some breakfast.
Zhou Mu then brought over the letter with Zhou Hai's fingerprint on it. Sister-in-law Gu and Aunt Zhou had already taken Uncle Zhou's oxcart to town. So many mouths to feed depend on these jobs for a living. Since they are all doing well, there is no reason to leave them idle for a day.
Just in case someone tries to take advantage of the situation, so they left Zhou San's wife and Xiao Hua's wife to help out at the Gu family home.
Lin Chang'er had no objection to the arrangement. Before setting off after loading the goods, she specifically asked the women who stayed behind to be extra careful today.
After loading the goods, they drove the donkey cart to deliver the goods to Sihai Restaurant. Pei Sihai and Bai Shaoan were both very curious as to why Wu Qingfeng was with her.
Since Lin Chang'er was in a hurry, she simply had Lao Liu bring a carriage to accompany them, and Zhou Mu moved into the carriage.
While traveling, Bai Shaoan and Pei Sihai learned the whole story and were shocked to hear about the fierce battle that took place in Linshui Village last night.
Hearing that the children Lin Chang'er was with had killed several bandits last night, he couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.
Wu Qingfeng then mentioned his plan to invite Old Lady Bai to be a female instructor and to assign Lao Liu to be a martial arts instructor for the men.
Pei Sihai naturally had no objections.
Bai Shaoan became somewhat anxious. He knew his grandmother's temperament; all these years she had pretended to be deaf and dumb and stayed at home, only because she had grown cold-hearted.
She couldn't bear to watch the people suffer, so she would definitely agree as soon as her sister Chang'er asked.
Bai Shaoan said, "If Grandmother goes, I will definitely go with her. Didn't you give me any work to do?" You can't just let him go and freeload, can you?
Wu Qingfeng's eyes darted around. He had deliberately left him out, and now that the atmosphere had built up, he pretended to be troubled and said, "Sister Chang'er needs a tutor to teach her to read and write. Are you up to the task?"
"Sure, of course it's fine, why not?" If he became the Gu family's tutor, wouldn't he be able to legitimately freeload off them? His third brother understood him all too well.
Bai Shaoan was secretly delighted.
Seeing that Wu Qingfeng had taken care of things in just a few words, Lin Chang'er felt a little relieved.
Once they entered the city, Wu Qingfeng got into the carriage and went to the county government office with Zhou Mu.
Bai Shaoan and Pei Sihai accompanied Lin Chang'er to deliver goods to Yunlai Restaurant.
Yesterday, four buckets of oysters were collected. Lin Chang'er only sold one bucket to Sihai Restaurant, and Yunlai Restaurant only gave her half a bucket.
Afterwards, she drove to Lao Liang's shop. Lao Liang was overjoyed to see her, calling her "niece" and praising how fresh the fish she had given him was. He even mentioned that his wife ate an extra bowl of rice that day.
One minute she's saying that the brown sugar is good because her daughter-in-law and her brother's wife are just giving birth, and she can eat two bowls of brown sugar and eggs.
Yes, after their previous private exchange of food, Lao Liang and the others now treat Lin Chang'er like their own niece.
Lin Chang'er was somewhat amused and exasperated, but being a straightforward person, she got straight to the point, "Uncle Liang, it's like this, that fishing village to the south..."
“I heard yesterday that the village is called Xiaonan Village,” Lao Liang interrupted.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes, you've all heard about what happened in Xiaonan Village. To tell you the truth, last night, pirates sneaked into our village..."
"What?" Old Liang was shocked and immediately called his assistant, "Go and find Uncle Zhu and the others."
Then he said to Lin Chang'er, "We'll talk about the village matters when Lao Zhu and the others arrive. Tell me first what your plans are."
"Are you looking to buy property? I have some nice houses that I can introduce to you."
"Buying property won't work either. If you move, you can't do the seafood business anymore. Otherwise, why don't you focus on the sugar factory? Then how about Brother Pei's sashimi banquet?"
It's important to know that Sihai Restaurant currently earns as much as 9000 taels of silver per month from sashimi banquets alone. This is even without opening up sales to the public. If they were to open up sales to one more table per day, the gross profit would double...
