The Shit Carrier Village Girl

Chapter 84 *Handling and Prevention*

The crowd grew even more curious when they heard Lin Qi's angry voice coming from Lin Yuelan's hut. What was inside the hut that everyone who entered the room came out cursing and cursing?

Lin Qi came out of the house with the help of Lin Dawei and Lin Yiwei. His wand slammed hard into the ground.

His face was angry, and he angrily questioned the three people sitting by the door, “The three of you are unreasonable! How embarrassing!” Lin Qi was really disappointed.

Then, Lin Qi walked towards Lin Yuelan. He looked a little embarrassed when he said, “Girl, even though this matter is their fault, we are all from the same village. What if you found it in your heart to forgive them? After all, they've learned the lesson from being frightened by your tiger, haven't they? They didn't do much other than mess up your house, did they?”

Lin Yuelan was then convinced that Lin Qi would not be by her side. Maybe he's not even angry. He scolded the three women so that he could use them as leverage when negotiating with Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan guessed that Lin Qi was someone who liked faces. He was trying to protect the reputation of the Lin Family Village. After all, there was suddenly not one but four new thieves in the village. Plus, they don't steal from ordinary homes. But instead, they had stolen from a girl who had been expelled from her family. If this news came out, the Lin Family Village would lose face.

Lin Yuelan could not accept Lin Qi's arrangement. Even Lin Dawei and Lin Yiwei did not agree with that.

Lin Qi was obviously trying to sweep the matter under the rug. These people are thieves and bullies. If they were forgiven so easily, the villagers would use this excuse to continue to bully Lin Yuelan. They knew that they would not be punished severely anyway.

Based on the rumors he heard, Lin Yuelan expected this reaction from Lin Qi. But will he follow the arrangement? If he did, his life would be difficult in the future.

Lin Yuelan looked at Lin Qi with determination and resistance in her eyes. He said sharply, “Great grandfather Qi, if these people just come to my house and make a mess, I will let go. However, Qi's great-grandfather, thirty taels of silver, and the hundred silver banknotes I had at home were also lost. Everything I bought yesterday is now lying around them. They have done more than just ruffling my home.”

Lin Yuelan would not give up so easily. The villagers became boiling as soon as they heard Lin Yuelan.

Thirty taels of silver and banknotes for a hundred taels of silver. This was an amount that they would not be able to earn even if they worked their entire lives in the fields. But now, they had been stolen by Li Cuihua and his gang.

In an instant, many villagers looked at them with envy.

Some of them were envious of Lin Yuelan's wealth, but some were also envious of Li Cuihua and his group, who had the foresight to come early to steal from Lin Yuelan. Fortunately, they were caught, or they would enjoy a good life with that silver. Therefore, those who were envious of Li Cuihua started to feel better.

They even felt lucky that they had decided to steal from Lin Yuelan later on because otherwise, they would be the ones lying on the ground right now. This is not something they can recover.

These people started to have greedy thoughts again. The curse says tiger for 400 taels of silver. Li Cuihua and his group only escaped with 150 taels, so that meant the remaining silver was still inside the hut.

Therefore, they had to look for an opportunity to sneak into his hut. Perhaps, they could find the remaining silver.

It's not just one or two people who have such an idea. There's a lot of people. Everyone is greedy. Even though they knew it was wrong, they could not refuse the easy money.

Although Lin Yuelan had only moved for three days, she had a good understanding of the villagers' minds. Therefore, he would not follow Lin Qi's arrangements in order for him to suffer this loss secretly. He will not compromise!

Lin Qi's face turned pale. He glared at Lin Yuelan furiously. He thought the girl would curl up under him, but he wasn't so easy to bend.

He knew that he wanted to protect the name of the village, but he deliberately opposed it in public. Lin Qi asked firmly, “Little girl, do you know what you said?”

Lin Yuelan replied firmly, “Great grandfather Qi, I know what I am saying. These people were trying to snatch away the tools I needed to survive, so it was impossible for me to let them go.

“In addition, if I forgive them, doesn't this mean I'm expected to forgive everyone who stole from me?

“If everything I get from me risking my life can be taken away whenever people like it, how should I live? Great-grandfather Qi, don't you agree with me?”

Lin Qi was old and stubborn. He knew that stealing was wrong, but the village could not have thieves to tarnish the reputation of the Lin Family Village.

Even though the thief had been caught off guard and everyone knew about it, he still wanted to cover it up. He assumed that everything would end once he scolded the culprits.

However, the girl refused to cooperate.

Just as Lin Qi was about to berate Lin Yuelan, Lin Yiwei stepped forward and said to her, “Uncle Qi, I know you are trying to protect the reputation of the Lin Family Village by covering up this matter.

“But you saw the situation inside the girl's house. Look what these people have done to their homes. Can he still live there? Plus, they not only took the new items that Lan ‘Er bought, but also her 130 taels of silver. We can't just let this go.

“If Lan ‘Er decides to take this to court, the lightest sentence the four will receive is two years in prison, and the toughest is beheading!

“Then, the reputation of our village will be completely destroyed!”

Lin Qi glared at him and shouted, “He wouldn't dare to bring this to justice!”

Lin Yuelan sneered cynically and said sharply, “Why don't I dare? These people did not give me a chance to live, so why should I give them a chance to survive?

The crowd became quiet!
