Chapter 209 I Don't Think It's Too Little
She went straight over and touched the scar: "I live with him."
Not long ago, the two had a fight, and now Lin Bao is clinging to him, wanting to live with him.
Lin Cai didn't speak. Scarface was very unhappy and tried to shake off Lin Bao, but the man was holding on too tightly and he couldn't shake him off in a short time.
Lin Bao gripped the scar tightly, feeling the other man's struggle, and gritted his teeth: "You bastard surnamed Mao, don't be ungrateful. It's your good fortune that I'm willing to live with you."
"I'm going to stay with you tonight. If you don't agree, just you wait and see."
Hearing this, Scarface became even more displeased and tried to shake off the person on top of him, but the person was like a piece of dog shit plaster that he couldn't get rid of at all.
"Hey Lin, let me tell you, let me go right now, or don't blame me if I do something like that."
"Isn't it just threatening someone? Don't act like anyone can't do that," Scarface said, his eyes filled with provocation as he looked at Lin Bao.
The two exchanged glances, neither willing to give an inch. Seeing that they were getting heated again, Lin Cai simply stopped bothering them.
In the end, Lin Bao stayed, sharing a room with Scarface.
With four more people in the family, the amount of food and supplies needed each day increased again. Lin Cai wanted to get some food, so she went to Gu Zhan's place again.
"I didn't come here today to ask where your rice came from. I want to know where I can get food."
No matter what, there's such a large family. Even without farming, they still have to survive. What will they eat if they really can't farm next year?
Gu Zhan looked at Lin Cai and told her the truth.
After listening, Lin Cai frowned: "All the rice and grain have been looted. Don't the higher-ups care?"
Don't those local officials care?
"The officials in Longxing County have long since fled with their families, and there is not a single official left in the entire county."
He was supposed to be one, but he had nothing in his hands. Apart from the title, he was no different from an ordinary citizen.
Hearing this, she wasn't surprised, but it gave her a clue: the future would probably not be peaceful anymore.
Gu Zhan knew Lin Cai wouldn't worry about such things, but seeing her remain silent, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry about the food problem, I'll take care of it."
"You just need to go out a few times in the coming days."
Lin Cai nodded upon hearing this, knowing what he meant. Then she looked at him and asked, "If a fight really breaks out, will it spread this way?"
Gu Zhan remained silent for a while, then nodded. Longxing County was not considered remote, but there was a main road not far from here.
That main road leads directly to other countries, making it a good route for military expeditions.
Knowing the result, Lin Cai prepared to promote the schedule, and that afternoon he took several children and Huani to prepare to go up the mountain.
Hua Niang and the others went along. The four bright and beautiful women were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, looking like village girls.
But their coarse clothes couldn't hide the allure of the four women.
When Lin Cai led the person out, men and women, young and old, who passed by couldn't help but take a look. Whenever this happened, Hong Lin couldn't help but flick her hair.
When Hongxiu saw this, she would reach out and pull Honglin's hand down, making her walk properly.
Hua Niang would also turn around at this time, and the warning in her eyes couldn't be clearer.
The group encountered many people along the way up the mountain, and some even asked Lin Cai about the identities of Hua Niang and the others.
Lin Cai fabricated identities for them: relatives of the Lin family, her distant cousins, and the daughters of Lin's mother's sisters.
But even so, Red Phosphorus was extremely unwilling!
"Am I your cousin? Do I look like your cousin?"
"If you're not the older cousin, then what are you? Do you want to be the younger cousin?"
"Look at you, you're more than a year older than Sister Lin. If someone your age said you were her cousin, even Chunhua probably wouldn't believe it."
The one who spoke was Little Round Face. It was too crowded for four people to stay in one guest room, so Lin Cai asked Hong Lin to share a room with Little Round Face.
Originally, I wanted Hongmei or Hongxiu to go over, but neither of them wanted to, saying that they wouldn't be able to sleep if they stayed with strangers.
In the end, Honglin offered to go over, and after only a few nights, she and Xiaoyuanlian felt like they had known each other for more than ten years.
They speak without any restraint, saying whatever comes to mind and however they want, without giving the other person any face at all.
The two argued all the way up the mountain, where Lin Cai told them that she was going to find some medicinal herbs today.
Although the mountains were frozen after the snowfall and many things were lost, the roots buried underground could still be found.
She wasn't looking for anything expensive, just something ordinary that could be used to treat wounds.
Upon hearing this, Honglin looked at her strangely: "Why did you find all this? Are you planning to sell it for money?"
"It's no use telling you this. Those things are worthless and not very useful. If you really want them, you might as well buy them from a pharmacy."
Lin Cai looked at Hong Lin calmly: "Are you sure you can still buy it now?"
She was completely stumped by the red phosphorus; she wasn't sure if she could buy it outside.
Huani, Xiaoyuanlian, and a few other children didn't care whether they could buy them outside; they did whatever Lin Cai told them to do.
……
Those people were dealt with, and the village was burned down. They got a lot of rice, and Cui Dazhu wanted to keep it all and store it away.
But Gu Nan stopped him: "The plan was made by the master, but I did the work. You only lost some houses."
"I can leave you two cars as compensation, but don't even think about anything else."
"Gu Nan! How can you be so heartless? I have so many people who are homeless, and you only give me two truckloads as compensation?"
"The end of the year is approaching, and people are homeless at this time. Are we not even allowed to feed them?"
Although Cui Dazhu couldn't win a fight, he was very eloquent. Gu Nan heard his words and replied.
"Two cars are enough for you to get through the whole year. If you think it's not enough, you can give them back to me."
What he meant was, if you think it's too little, you can give it all back to me; I don't mind.
Upon hearing this, Cui Dazhu immediately roared, "Impossible! Don't even think about it!"
