Chapter 38 Ruffian (3) (1/2)
The cake shop was full of business, and at the same time, Lin Shiheng's commission was increasing. His watermelon juice was sold out on the first day, and he was ready to return with a bulging wallet.
Lin Shiheng stayed in the city for a total of two days, and earned a lot of money that the villagers could not earn in a year. Before going back, he calculated that he was still a little short of his goal, so he pulled the cake shop owner to "chat" for a few words.
"Now, even if I don't promote you again, everyone in the city knows that there is a cake shop that many people like here. Whether it is children or young people who are dating, they will be proud to buy your cake shop. But you make so much money that you must make others follow suit. Within three months, there will be other cake shops in the city..."
The cake shop owner, who didn't dare to sleep all night last night for fear that this was a dream, immediately panicked after hearing this.
There is no problem with his own craftsmanship. He always pays attention to quality when making cakes and never cheats. Otherwise, he would not dare to return to his hometown to open a shop. It’s just that he has skills but not much business acumen. It’s okay that he couldn’t make money before, and he accepted his fate. But now that he has made money with Lin Shiheng, how can he be willing to go back to the days when he couldn’t make money before?
"Little brother, you are smart, please help me, what should I do to make money like today?"
Lin Shiheng nodded, "I am just an ordinary country boy, how can I come up with a solution, that is, um... big brother, what is your last name?"
After the shop owner finished speaking, he remembered that the two of them were not familiar with each other at all, and hurriedly introduced himself, "Look at my brain, we haven't officially met yet, my name is Chen Yangming, I am a local, I usually live in the shop, and I haven't asked you yet?"
"My last name is Lin, Lin Shiheng, from the county, this is it, I want to go to the Magic City recently, and sell some watermelons to earn money for the trip."
"You are so young and dare to go to the Magic City, little brother is brave!"
Chen Yangming started to flatter, and he didn't mind seeing Lin Shiheng smiling and not responding.
In his mind, since Lin Shiheng could make such a half-dead shop so prosperous, he must be a man with great ability. Although Chen Yangming himself is not that capable, his posture of hugging thighs is accurate!
He was already 31 years old when he went to the Magic City. People of such an age are not as easy to find a job as those young guys. In the end, he relied on this ability to hug thighs and hugged the thighs of the manager of the cake shop, and then he was arranged to work in the cake shop.
There are many apprentices who learn cake making from the master chef, and there are many who are younger and smarter than him, but only Chen Yangming sincerely regards the master chef as his master. He buys gifts for him during festivals, buys gifts for himself wherever he goes out, and brings some local specialties to his master when he goes home. Therefore, the master chef treats him the best, not only teaching him all his skills, but this time he said he wanted to go back to his hometown to open a shop, and the master chef even lent him money.
Chen Yangming didn't think he was flattering. He just thought that if he treated others with sincerity, they would treat him with sincerity. Now he wanted to get good ideas from Lin Shiheng, so he had to be sincere.
"So, little brother, didn't you say you were going to Magic City? There are many people in Magic City and the prices are high. It costs a lot every month. I will help you with some travel expenses. Thank you for helping me today!"
Lin Shiheng waved his hand, with a little embarrassment on his face. "Hey, how can I be so embarrassed? I just gave you an idea. I have already received a commission. How can I ask for your money?"
The more he said this, the more Chen Yangming felt that Lin Shiheng was a straightforward person. Didn't you see that he didn't want to accept the money?
He took the money from the cabinet and stuffed it into his hand. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made this money. This is also to thank you. Just keep it."
"No, no, hey, brother, look at you, what are you doing!!"
The two of them went back and forth, and finally Chen Yangming relied on his "strong strength" to stuff the money into Lin Shiheng's arms.
Chen Yangming looked at the other party expectantly. Obviously, this young man was not thick-skinned. After taking his money, his face immediately turned red with embarrassment. After hesitating for a few times, he still said
"Brother, to be honest, I am indeed a little short of this travel expenses, and I am indeed short of your money, but I feel guilty just taking it like this. Otherwise, I will give you an idea. Just think of it as you spending money to buy an idea. If this idea doesn't work, I will return the money to you. Do you think it's okay?"
Chen Yangming agreed almost immediately.
This little brother is really honest. If this idea works, he will make money every day like today, and he will definitely make more money. If the idea doesn't work, the money will be returned, so it's his profit anyway.
Seeing that he agreed, Lin Shiheng didn't hide it.
In fact, it's quite simple, just teach Chen Yangming to limit the sales of the most expensive cake in the store.
Only five are sold a day, first come first served, and the last comer can only come back the next day even if he pays extra.
Then write some slogans and buy an advertising space in the newspaper.
Similar to xx cake, the taste of love
"Don't worry, brother. The more you restrict the cake, the more people will want to buy it. But remember, you can't sell it to people who can't buy it no matter how much money they add. Of course, if you can add thousands or tens of thousands, you still have to sell it."
"Here is my contact information. If it doesn't work, come to me and I'll return the money to you."
Chen Yangming looked confused, but he still wrote it down seriously. When he heard this, he waved his hand and said, "No, no, we are all honest people. How can we ask you to return the money after we got your idea? Just use this money with peace of mind. We are all good brothers. If you need money again, just come to me."
Lin Shiheng got in the car and drove back, with money in his waist bag. Chen Yangming, who had just handed him the money, stood there and waved goodbye with admiration and gratitude.
The first pot of gold was in hand, but this pot of gold had other uses than travel expenses.
This tricycle was quite old, and the noise it made along the way was not too loud. People in the city were not surprised, but when it arrived in the county town, a group of people were looking around.
Lin Shiheng drove all the way to the street where vegetables were sold. Ke Jialing, who was sitting next to her parents at the stall and reading a book, raised her head subconsciously when she heard the noise, and her expression froze the next second.
The man sitting in the driver's seat of the tricycle stopped the car and winked at her quietly. Ke Jialing blushed and lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
"Liu Zi."
Liu Zi, who had seen the car on the side, immediately rushed forward when he heard him being called, "Hey! Brother Shi, you're back!"
"Go, send this car back to me."
Lin Shiheng got out of the car and patted Liu Zi on the shoulder, "Did you take care of your sister-in-law?"
"Yes, I did!" Liu Zi immediately looked proud, "Brother Shi, are you still worried about me doing things? I took good care of her!"
"Okay, I'll give you a credit."
"By the way, remember that the matter between your sister-in-law and me has not been resolved yet, so you must not let my future father-in-law and mother-in-law get suspicious. If you mess up our affairs because of you, I will make you a bachelor for the rest of your life."
As he said, Lin Shiheng He looked up and down at Liuzi, who was dressed even more shabby than himself. "Hey, didn't I give you money? Why are you still dressed so shabbily? I'll embarrass myself if I go out."
"No, Brother Shi, isn't my father in poor health? He needs to take medicine. It's better to spend this money on medicine than to buy clothes for my father."
Liuzi is not tall and strong, nor is he very good at fighting. He was just a coward who was bullied before. He was noticed by the gangsters because the gangsters from the neighboring county took a fancy to Liuzi's melon field. Not only did they beat up his father, but they also messed up the melon field. This kid fought with them desperately, and he was still holding on even when he was half dead. It happened that the gangsters passed by at that time and saw that the gangsters from the neighboring county were actually showing off their power, so they took sticks and attacked them.
Finally, Liuzi, whose family was heavily in debt due to the loss of the melon field, joined them to make a living. Because he was also filial, the original owner valued him the most, so he had some face when walking on the street.
"Okay, return the car quickly. I'll go home and buy something for my aunt. It's too much trouble."
Liu Zi scratched his head blankly. He knew that Lin Shiheng didn't like people with the surname Lin.
How did he buy something?
This doubt was instantly answered when he saw Lin Shiheng walking to the fish stall of Ke's family.
He said, this is not to buy things to see aunt, this is to target the seller.
Originally, the old man Ke, who was just secretly looking at the two of them, was frightened when he saw Lin Shiheng walking in front of him, fearing that this street fighter would do something to their small stall.
"Weigh this fish for me."
Lin Shiheng looked natural and pointed to the fattest fish on the stall.
The old man Ke didn't dare to say a word. He picked up the fish and found a plastic bag to put it in. He felt heartache while putting it in.
This is the biggest and fattest fish on the stall, and it's still alive. Such a good fish was snatched by Lin Shiheng.
Although he was reluctant, he thought about how capable Lin Shiheng's brothers were, and Old Man Ke still packed the fish and handed it over.
His fish.
The biggest and fattest fish.
Seeing Lin Shiheng taking the fish, Old Man Ke’s heartache didn’t get worse before he heard him ask “How much?”
“How much…money?”
He parroted back, and the young man in front of him, who was once rumored to be able to kill an adult with one punch, didn’t look impatient at all. He nodded and repeated in a very good-tempered manner, “Aren’t you weighing it by kilogram?”
“Oh, oh, okay, I’ll weigh it right away.”
Old Man Ke took the bag of fish and put it on the scale as if in a dream. He wanted to see the number on the scale but didn’t dare to look closer. Ke Jialing, who was standing by, saw that her father looked nervous, and felt a little distressed for her father’s fear and a little helpless that he was so afraid of her boyfriend. She put down the book and walked over to take a look, and reported the number.
Old Man Ke’s eyes went dark. This girl was too honest. Didn’t she know to say less?
What if Lin Shiheng thought it was too expensive and took the whole fish without paying?
Fortunately, Lin Shiheng didn't seem to have such an intention.
The handsome young man with a slightly ruffian look took out a handful of money from his waist bag neatly, handed it to Ke Jialing in front of him, and had a proud look in his eyes.
Ke Jialing looked at the several red bills in the money and knew that he did it on purpose. She turned her back to her father and looked at her boyfriend unhappily, counted out the money for the fish, and gave the rest back to him, "Too much."
"Too much? I didn't notice it."
Lin Shiheng took back the money and winked at her again.
Ke Jialing was happy and nervous.
The two young people exchanged glances under the old man Ke's eyes for a second, and then Ke Jialing sat back in her seat and watched Lin Shiheng leave with the fish.
Old man Ke, who was standing by, didn't dare to breathe. He watched the tall and straight back go away, then he dared to sit down, holding his chest and said to his daughter, "Lin Shiheng seems to be quite reasonable, why did he hang out with those hooligans? He is so young and good-looking, why does he have to do something else but not work properly?"
"Dad, don't say that about them. I think they are all quite normal. The hooligans in the next county are the ones who are not working properly."
"That's right." Old man Ke nodded in agreement. "Liuzi from our street came to help me yesterday when he saw me pushing the fish. I thought he wanted to help me. I gave him fish, but he left after helping me, and smiled at me, which scared me. "
"Your mother told me that she slipped when she came this morning. It was nothing serious, but Liuzi saw her from a distance and ran over to help her up, and asked if he wanted to accompany her to the hospital. You said that these young people, who usually look fierce, are really kind-hearted when they do things."
"But think about it, this child came to our village to play when he was young. He was so well-behaved and honest at that time. He ran behind a group of children every day..."
Liuzi happened to walk behind the stall and blushed when he heard this.
He is not well-behaved, but he is small and weak. No one wants to play with him, but he wants to play, so he follows people every day and wants to be taken to play.
The reason why he went to help Ke's mother was because she fell on the street he managed. If Shi Ge knew that his future mother-in-law fell on the street he managed, he would be in trouble...
Thinking of the scene of Shi Ge crushing his skull with a smile on his face, Liu Zi shuddered.
Otherwise, why do people say that being a follower is not easy? Not only do you have to take care of your sister-in-law, but you also have to take care of her family. But thinking about the benefits Shi Ge said, Liu Zi's mouth curled up and laughed silently.
That's Shi Ge, he got a lot of benefits!
Just when she was enjoying it, she suddenly heard old man Ke say something strange, "But there is one thing that is particularly strange. Liuzi has been very polite to me and your mother recently, but he is still the same to other people. I feel very uneasy. Jialing, you read a lot. What do you think he wants to do?"
Ke Jialing's cheeks had already flushed. Thinking of what Shi Heng told Liuzi to take care of his parents that day, she lowered her head with sweetness, and her white and tender fingertips occasionally plucked the pages of the book, whispering, "I don't know either."
"That's right. You are good at reading, but you can't know these. I will ask your uncle Liu and others when we close the stall later. Otherwise, he only pays attention to our family, and I always feel uneasy in my heart."
Liuzi quietly squatted down behind the leaves with a serious expression.
What should he do now? He took care of someone and took care of the wrong person.
How about asking Brother Shi?
What if Brother Shi despises him for not being able to handle such a small matter?
Thinking of what Shi Ge had said before, if the two old men got suspicious, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, Liu Zi's face turned bitter.
This was not good for them, it would offend Shi Ge, and if it was good for them, it would make them suspicious, it would be like trying to force him to death.
Liu Zi squatted behind the tree, thinking about it, and his thick eyebrows could almost kill flies, but he still couldn't come up with a good idea.
"Ah!!"
A scream sounded, and Liu Zi raised his head. A vegetable farmer who was carrying a load to sell vegetables in front of him slipped.
Their land was all muddy, and it rained a while ago, and water accumulated on the ground. How could mud and water not be slippery? Therefore, every time it rained or a few days after raining, people fell everywhere.
Liu Zi watched the vegetables in the farmer's basket fall to the ground, and the old man hurried to pick them up before he could even stand firmly.
It would have been good if he hadn't gone up to take advantage of the situation before, but now, thinking about what Old Man Ke said just now, he suddenly had an idea, and he got up and went forward, regardless of the surprised and frightened eyes of the vegetable farmers, and squatted down to help him pick up the vegetables.
Isn't it suspicious if he is only nice to him?
Then why not be nice to everyone!

And he can't just be so nice to them, and let other brothers learn from him.
By then, all the brothers will be nice to these people, and no one will be able to tell if he is nice to the Ke family!
Hehehe, he is really a clever little ghost.
That night, Liuzi rushed to Lin Shiheng's village and asked for his opinion.
Lin Shiheng didn't seem surprised at all, and praised Liuzi for his flexible mind. The next day, he went to the county with him, called the brothers to start a meeting, and conveyed the correct idea that everyone should live together in peace and not act arrogantly like before.
"Why should we be nice to them!!"
Immediately, a gangster slammed the table and said, "It would be great if we were as majestic as usual, why do we have to live in a cowardly way!"
The meeting place was in a dilapidated factory building, and there were some tables and chairs that others didn't want when they moved. There happened to be one chair for each person. Lin Shiheng sat on the top chair that was not broken and looked a little gorgeous, put his legs on the table and looked at a group of gangsters with angry expressions that they would never agree.
Liuzi didn't sit on the chair, but stood behind him to pinch his shoulders, pretending to be a flatterer. When he saw someone banging the table, he immediately glared at him.
"What on earth? Don't you listen to Brother Shi's words?"
The face of the scoundrel who banged the table was full of anger, "Brother Shi, you are the best fighter among us, so we listen to you, but the brothers are living a good life, there is no reason to do this suddenly."
"Yes, Brother Shi, where does the brothers get their prestige from? Isn't it because of their fighting ability? If it's like what you said, and we have to smile at those small vendors one by one, where is our prestige? Who will listen to us in the future? And why do you do this suddenly? You have to give a reason."
Liuzi opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Shiheng.
The handsome man in shabby clothes stood up and slapped the table.
- Bang!
With this sound, the gangsters trembled, and even the few who stood up just now swallowed their saliva and sat down slowly.
Fortunately, Lin Shiheng did not beat them up as they thought, but looked serious.
"Although we brothers work diligently and do our best to protect the safety of the county and the people, on the surface, others still regard us as gangsters."
"When we walk on the street, a group of people will hide from us when they see us from a distance. When we go to buy things, they will take the initiative to give the things to us without waiting for us to open our mouths, as if we are holding a knife to force them not to accept money. Tell me, is this treatment fair to those of us who have a sincere heart!"
The real gangsters listened quietly, and their faces, which were originally still afraid, gradually showed some approval.
Lin Shiheng continued, "Everyone says that we brothers use force to collect protection fees, but didn't we protect them? When did we drive away those hooligans from the neighboring county when they came to make trouble? Take Liuzi for example. His family's watermelon field was targeted by those bastards from the neighboring county. They not only trampled the watermelon field, but also beat people. If we hadn't rushed over, Liuzi would have been beaten to death. How could he be our brother!"
Liuzi, who was originally helping Lin Shiheng with his back, felt tears in his eyes, and remembered that it was these brothers who saved him when he was most helpless.
"Yes, Brother Shi, you said it very well!"
"Although people outside say that we are as scary as monsters, I know that brothers are kind-hearted, otherwise, they wouldn't have saved me!"
The faces of several people who participated in driving away the hooligans from the neighboring county in the watermelon field were a little unnatural.
Actually, they had gone there to steal watermelons, but they didn't expect to run into that group of people beating people up. Not only did they beat people up, but they also said dirty things about their county town, which was also their territory.
Could the brothers tolerate this?
They picked up their weapons and attacked them directly.
Later, they accepted Liuzi because he was a man with his fighting spirit, and he always came to give them watermelons...
Of course, no one said these words, so under Liuzi's moved gaze, Lin Shiheng continued.
"I'm telling you to be nicer to the villagers, but I'm not telling you not to collect protection fees. Isn't what we do good? Why shouldn't we be appreciated for doing good things?"
"When we go out, we always have a smile on our faces. If someone can't push the cart, we go up to help. It doesn't take much effort. If there are thieves causing trouble and destroying the place, we can't just arrest them like before. We have to say something after arresting them!"
A group of hooligans were stunned, "Brother Shi, if you arrest someone, why don't you just ask him to pay the money? What else are you talking about?"
Lin Shiheng sat back in his chair, crossed his long fingers on the table, and raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, "It's not that simple. Just say that everyone here is under our protection. If anyone dares to provoke the villagers again, we will directly send him to the Public Security Bureau next time!"
When the hooligans heard the Public Security Bureau, their faces changed immediately.
"Brother Shi... it's not that serious to go to the police station. I get scared when I see people in uniform. Besides, they are all gangsters. It would be offensive to send them to the police station!"
"What gangsters?!" Lin Shiheng opened his hands and slapped the table again, his expression solemn. "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. I received news that the higher-ups are going to make a big move. I originally wanted to let everyone go their separate ways so that everyone can save their lives. But I thought that you all have to support your families, which is not easy. If you suddenly disband, what will you do with your food, drink, and defecation in the future? Are you really going to steal things like those low-level thieves?"
The faces of the group of people changed drastically after hearing this, and they were stunned.
"Shi, Brother Shi, are you serious? Not really, didn't they say that only people in the city would be arrested?"
"Do you think the county is fine? Not to mention the county, even if it's in the village, if someone reports it, the police will still investigate. If nothing is found, it's fine. If something is found, they will be arrested directly! What will you do when the family, old and young, are gone by then!!"
"This matter is too big, and I can't tell anyone. I've been holding it in my heart for so many days. I can't eat or sleep well every day. I even went to the city yesterday just to find out about this matter."
Liu Zi, who was listening on the side, asked in confusion, "Brother Shi, didn't you go to the city yesterday... ah!"
Lin Shiheng took back his hand that was pinching his arm, frowned tightly, and his eyes were full of worry, "Liu Zi, don't interrupt, we're talking about business."
Liu Zi covered his arm and listened to the scolding of other brothers who were also worried.
"It's Liuzi! Don't interrupt Brother Shi, he's talking about something!"
"Brother Shi, ignore him, keep talking, we won't make any noise."
He was so aggrieved that he couldn't say anything, he could only continue to massage Lin Shiheng's shoulders.
Lin Shiheng's handsome face was full of seriousness, and his tone was serious, "I thought about it day and night, and finally came up with such a method."
"We acted arrogantly before and offended the group of people in the neighboring county. If the higher-ups send people down, they will definitely report us. Even if they don't report us, people in the underworld have more or less a few enemies. Once they report, the investigators will naturally verify it. Tell me, where will they verify it?"
The group of people whose expressions gradually became serious thought for a while, "They must find people in the county."
"Brother Shi, what you mean is that we should make a good reputation, so that when the higher-ups really send people to investigate, if we are good to the villagers, they will definitely help to say good things, so that we don't have to worry about being arrested."
Lin Shiheng nodded, "That's what I mean."
The crowd suddenly realized.
"Brother Shi is still smart!"
"Brother Shi, I was wrong to bump into you just now. Don't bother with your brother. Wait a few days, I will buy some good wine and food, and we will have a few drinks to make amends for you."
"Okay, we should be nicer to people in the future and help them more. When something happens, they will definitely feel embarrassed not to help us. Brother Shi, great!"
Lin Shiheng waved his hand reservedly, "No, no, it's also for the brothers."
Standing behind him, watching the atmosphere change from tense to harmonious in an instant, Liuzi said, "..."
Didn't you say that being kind to everyone is to protect your sister-in-law's parents?
Why did you bring it up?
He was confused and couldn't think it through. He had to think about it again. Lin Shiheng urged him, "Why are you standing there? Keep pinching."
"Ah? Oh, okay!"
After Liuzi was urged like this, his men immediately started to move. His already confused brain was blank and he couldn't remember anything.
The people in the county were surprised to find that the gangsters who collected protection fees in the county seemed to have changed overnight.
They still collected protection fees, but they were no longer as fierce as before, and they looked a little smiling.
Especially those vegetable farmers who usually pushed the cart alone. They had a hard time pushing the cart uphill every morning. If they met the gangsters, they would come forward to help.
The vegetable farmers wanted to give them vegetables in return, but they refused. They said that since they collected protection fees, it was nothing to help them when they saw difficulties.
The vegetable farmers who received this were so shocked that their jaws dropped. When they went back and told others, no one believed them. It was not until more and more people were helped that the gangsters became passionate young people that a group of people began to believe and doubt.
Especially one day, a thief took advantage of the chaos to steal things from a stall and was caught by one of the gangsters. In the past, they would beat him up and let him go, and at most extort some money from the thief.
But this time, the thug held the man down and forced him to apologize to the stall owner. He also threatened in front of the crowd of onlookers, "You stole things and came here, and you didn't even ask around. We protect this piece of land, and these people are our fellow villagers. If I catch you bullying our fellow villagers again, I'll beat you half to death and send you to the police! I'll lock you up for ten or eight years and see if you dare to do it again!"
Amid the cheers of the surrounding villagers, the gangster was so scared that he trembled all over and quickly said a long string of words to beg for mercy before he was let go.
This time, it was considered to be a complete signal to the villagers that this group was reliable.
In the past, they would solve problems by themselves, but now they dared to go to the group of people who collected their protection fees, and as long as they paid the protection fees, they would definitely get a just response.
Since then, the petty thefts on this street have immediately decreased by multiples, and even those who like to buy vegetables half-buy and half-rob dare not do it like before. After all, if he dared to do it, those vegetable farmers who were so timid before would directly shout for help, and at the least they would be beaten by the small group who rushed over, and if it was serious, they would be beaten every time they saw it.
You know, the harder they were beaten, the louder the applause and cheers from the people around them. Recently, the gangsters who have felt how wonderful it is to be sought after are desperate to be praised.
In just a few days, the atmosphere in the county has been completely changed.
The gangsters that used to be feared by everyone have become popular. Now no one calls them gangsters anymore. They all say that they are doing things in a serious way. After all, they are not forced to collect money. Facts have proved that they can be protected if they pay money. If they can't take the things on the stalls at night, they can ask them to help watch them. When they come back the next day, they are guaranteed to have the same things.
Now people no longer avoid them when they see them on the street, but rush up to say hello. There are even old ladies who want to introduce a good-looking gangster to a partner.
Not to mention, the girl introduced by the other party is really good. Although her family is a little poor and she lives with her mother, the girl herself is down-to-earth and doesn't mind that he is unemployed. She has a pretty face. On the first day they met, this guy was full of rosy faces and even walked with spirit.
With him leading the way, a group of young men who originally just wanted to get rid of the possible jail time in the future finally discovered another benefit of being liked by people.
It's easy to find a partner! !
You know, before, let alone finding a partner, even a slightly pretty girl would avoid them, not to mention how depressed they were.
It turns out that doing good deeds actually has a partner!
This discovery made this group of people addicted to doing good deeds, and they happily helped everywhere every day.
While they were doing good deeds everywhere in the county, Lin Shiheng and Aunt Lin were still discussing the renting of land.
Aunt Lin and Zhang Quezi were happy to do so. Their family had little land, and both of them were hardworking. If they had more land, they would certainly like to plant more, but that mother-in-law Zhang disliked that Lin Shiheng wanted too much rent.
"30% is not okay, you have to pay 10%! You are just renting out this land, and the one who really serves is my son. 30% rent is too black-hearted!"
This was said by Widow Zhang to Lin's mother. Her confidence was that Lin's mother was good to Aunt Lin, the younger sister-in-law, and she knew Lin's mother's temper, and she would definitely not tell Lin Shiheng, her son, about this matter.
As a result, Lin Shiheng learned about this from the brothers in the village right after she said this.
He didn't do anything else, and directly told Lin's mother that since they couldn't reach an agreement, they would not rent it.
Anyway, judging from what Widow Zhang meant, even if the land was rented out, his aunt would not get any benefits.
Lin's mother always put her son first, and nodded and agreed, and decided to give all the land to her brother from her mother's family to farm.
Widow Zhang, who originally relied on her kindness to Aunt Lin to deliberately manipulate her, was dumbfounded.
30% of the rent is indeed not much in the village. After all, there are few fields here, and the Lin family's land is the good land that Lin Shiheng bought after making money. He asked for 30% just because of his relatives.
But Widow Zhang was a stingy person. She relied on Lin's mother's good temper and didn't like to trouble Lin Shiheng, and wanted to bargain for a price. As a result, Lin Shiheng, who was not very interested in village affairs, actually intervened this time.
She was so angry that she wanted to go to the Lin family to have a good talk. However, as soon as she arrived outside the Lin family's yard, she heard Lin's mother shouting in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"
Widow Zhang was startled and quickly leaned over the wall to look. She just saw Lin Shiheng stuffing the money into Lin's mother's hands.
The red color of the stack of money pierced her eyes directly.
So much, so much, so much money! !
So much money, who knows where Lin Shiheng got it from. This kid has been restless since he was a child. Widow Zhang didn't believe that Lin's mother said he had a job. She saw Lin Shiheng walking around in the street in a messy dress several times when she went to the county. It was said that he was hanging out with a group of gangsters in the county.
She was jealous and suddenly had a good idea in her heart.
