Chapter 178： questioning character

It didn't take long for Lin Yuelan's family's five acres of land. At first glance, there was a golden lake, and the rice stalks were bent over by the grains of millet, which was extraordinarily cute and eye-catching.

Therefore, the Lin Yuelan family's paddy field welcomed batch after batch of surprised and curious villagers. They stopped in front of them and looked at these rice fields with envy and jealousy, but more of them had their own careful thoughts in their hearts.

"Looking at the rice that has been bent by the millet, the yield should be at least five or six stones per mu." Anyway, the tone of his voice was envious.

"I'm looking at five or six stones, at least seven stones or more!" This person said very experienced.

Because his family's farm work is the best every year, and the harvest is also the best, sometimes the production capacity per mu can reach four or five stone, so he will say so with certainty.

As soon as his words fell, the others were shocked.

"No way?!"

The yield of seven stones per mu is an unimaginable yield.

If it really yields seven stones per mu, and after paying two or three stone field taxes, then you will still have four or five stones left, and four or five stones per mu. Twenty stone, where do you need to worry that the whole family can't get enough to eat?

Thinking about this, they couldn't help but get excited.

They also want to produce seven stones per mu, so they want to ask this farmer for advice.

"I don't know how she grows the fields, but they can grow so well?" Someone asked suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, I remember that when they planted the seeds, they seemed to have pulled the seedlings from elsewhere and put them back in." Someone instantly remembered that Lin Yuelan and the others came here with the seedlings.

"Yes, I also remembered this. After they picked the seedlings, a few big men planted them one by one."

"Yes, I remember it too. At the beginning, I was very puzzled by his actions and behavior, and even thought if they didn't have the money to buy enough seeds to sow seeds like that. Now that I think about it, maybe some people did this at the beginning. Makes sense."

In this way, everyone, I hate the situation when Lin Yuelan and his group were planting rice in the fields.

At the end, someone said with some anticipation and nervousness, "You said, if we went to ask them about this field method, would they be willing to say it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them fell silent.

Although these villagers are simple, they are also selfish.

If they are so good at farming, and the harvest is so good, they will definitely hide it, for fear that others will learn it.

As for why there is such a thought, it is actually out of great selfishness, that is, I don't want others to be better than myself.

Of course, there is another hidden purpose, that is, whoever wants to come to study, of course, has to pay tuition, otherwise, who will give it to them for nothing.

After learning farming methods and techniques, the whole family will not be hungry in the future. Therefore, even if the tuition is very expensive, they are willing to pay for it.

Only this time, the person they wanted to ask was the nemesis in Linjia Village who was rejected and hated by the villagers.

. They also know that those who come into contact with that nemesis will not end well.

For example, the right family in Lin's village was dismissed as a scholar, and he was paralyzed in bed for three years. Although I heard that Lin Yuelan's contribution to standing up now is less, but in a word, isn't everything caused by her?

For example, the Zhou Ping family who sold their fields to her now, because of the crime of theft, their son still stole a lot of rice and meat from Lin Yuelan's family. Lin Yuelan sent him to prison. I was interrupted, and I am still lying in bed. Because I have no money for medical treatment, my legs are so rotten that I don’t know what to do. As for Mrs. Zhou Ping, her son was arrested and her husband was paralyzed and turned into a crippled man. Feeling hopeless, she ran away with others.

Everything about Zhou Ping's family was also caused after Zhou Ping sold the fields to Lin Yuelan's family.

Another example, Lin Yuelan's family, that is, her own grandfather's parents' family, was in a very miserable situation.

The second child of the Lin family was sent to prison, the daughter-in-law of Lin Siniu was divorced, and the third child of the Lin family was kicked out of the Lin family.

Speaking of this series of things, they really didn't have the guts to contact Lin Yuelan easily, for fear of causing big trouble for their family.

It's just that they really know how to farm.

"No, isn't this field planted by those men?"

After a moment of silence, someone immediately responded and said.

"Yes," the others responded suddenly, "so, we can ask those people if they are not."

In addition to a man who looks handsome and imposing too hard to mess with, the other few will say hello to everyone from time to time.

These people just decided that, except for Jiang Zhennan, it is better to talk. As long as they ask, these people will definitely not hide it.

The villagers over there had the idea of ​​Lin Yuelan's family's farming method. Here, Linjia Village also heard that the five acres of land that Lin Yuelan's family bought in Zhoujia Village had a good harvest of rice. Out of curiosity and doubt, many People came to Zhoujia Village to see it.

Sure enough, the fields of her family were full of yellow and full of grains, and it was such a plump fruit they had never seen before.

As soon as they saw such a good harvest, the villagers of Linjia Village, like the villagers in other villages, followed the idea of ​​Lin Yuelan's family's farming method.

However, they didn't think to ask Lin Yuelan herself, or other people around her, but went directly to Lizheng.

"Lizheng, we are all from Linjia Village, we have one heart, we can't hide what we have. Only when everyone is well, people from other villages don't dare to underestimate our people from Linjia Village, everyone said. Isn't that right?" Lin Lao Liu said plausibly, and finally incited everyone to agree with him.

His purpose, obviously, was to force Li Zheng to ask Lin Yuelan for ways to farm.

With their rigid relationship with Lin Yuelan and their fear of Lin Yuelan, asking them to speak to Lin Yuelan directly would be tantamount to putting them into a fire pit.

Therefore, all they can push is Lin Yiwei.

Besides, Lizheng's responsibility itself is to lead the whole village to live a good life of food, clothing, warmth and wealth.

"That's right, Lizheng, although Lan girl is the nemesis of fame, but everyone still accommodates her in this Linjia Village, so she can't be ungrateful and only think about increasing the production of her own fields, and leave us all to one side. "Is this asking Lin Yuelan to feel their "grace"?

Hehe, the reason why Lin Yuelan could stay in Linjia Village was because Li Zheng gave insisted on persevering.

"Well, Lan girl can't forget her roots now!" Then everyone agreed with you and me.

After Lin Yiwei came to his house from these villagers, he guessed the purpose of these people, so he listened and watched with a dark face.

It's just that they wanted the benefits of Lin Yuelan, but they accused Lin Yuelan of hiding secrets, making him angry.

He suddenly shouted loudly, "Shut up!"

The people at the scene, seeing that the face was very close to the angry Li Zheng, immediately silenced.

He glanced at the people present, and said sternly, "Hmph, they haven't started harvesting yet, so you have started to focus on their farming methods? That's all, but you don't think you're going too far, here. If you want the benefits of others, there is an attitude of kindness there. Is it really possible to treat people as fools?

Does Lan girl owe you a little bit? What benefits did you give her? Have you taken care of her in the past three years? Have you ever given her a steamed bun and half a bowl of rice? no.

Since you don't, if you want to benefit from Lan girl, you should quickly put away your gracious attitude and the disdain on your face. "

Lin Yiwei, as the leader of Linjia Village, usually has a high level of majesty. At this moment, it is not too much for him to scold these ignorant and ignorant villagers.

Hearing Li Zheng's words, most people bowed their heads in shame, knowing that their actions were somewhat wrong.

But very few people just don't buy Lizheng's account.

It's not...

"Oh, I said Lizheng, we just want a better life, isn't that too much? Or, because you and Lan girl usually get close, you get those farming methods from Lan girl, so you Don't you want to worry about everyone's life or death?" Lin Daniu was huddled in the corner, and these words suddenly came out.

Anyway, their family and Lizheng's family are about to tear their faces, so when I say this, I'm not afraid to offend Lin Yiwei.

As long as you provoke everyone's dissatisfaction with Lin Yiwei, and then question Lizheng's character and behavior, maybe everyone will think about changing to another Lizheng.

And as the father of the only second future scholar, he will definitely be the best candidate for the election.

At that time, as long as he is Lizheng, can't he get more benefits and more benefits from that dead girl.

To say that Lin Daniu has such an idea is not whimsical.

In ancient villages, the villagers still respected those who could read and write, and the Lizheng of each village was elected by the literate.

Because people who have read books and know words are amazing.

In this Lin Village, there are only two scholars.

The family is Lin Yiwei, there are scholars from generation to generation, and basically they can be selected as talented people, even juren, everyone chooses Lin Yi as Lizheng, that is, because the Lizheng family are all scholars, and they can read and write. When Li Zheng, it is also a matter of course.

The other family is their Lin Daniu family.

The person who reads is his second son, Lin Dazong.

Because Lin Dazong has a talent for reading, the third Lin family gritted their teeth and sent out an expensive bundle to send Lin Dazong to the school, hoping that Lin Dazong would come out ahead, like the names of their brothers, to honor their ancestors.

Because of his curiosity at the beginning, Daniu Lin learned a few words from Dazong Lin, but not much.

But just these few words are enough for Lin Daniu to show off. He often considers himself a scholar, arrogantly looks down on others, and disdains to associate with the reckless people of the villagers.

Lin Daniu has a righteous mind, all because of his vanity and greed.

He believes that if he is a lizheng, he will be able to gain benefits from these villagers.

Therefore, this time, he encouraged the villagers to make trouble with Lin Yiwei, and questioned Lin Yiwei's character and behavior.

However, Lin Yiwei has been a lieutenant in Linjia Village for several decades, and everyone has no doubts about his character, otherwise, everyone would have had many opinions on him.

So, someone immediately said to Lin Daniu unwillingly, "I said Daniu, what kind of person is there, everyone knows clearly, you don't need to stir up trouble here."

Of course, someone said Lin Daniel, and they agreed with Lin Daniel's words, and immediately retorted, "I think Daniel has some truth in what he said. Usually, I am getting close to Lan girl, so it is certain that she can get benefits in her hands. , Haven't you noticed that the rice in Lizheng's family is obviously better than everyone else, and it looks like a good harvest. It's never been like this before."

This is the harvest of Wei Lizheng's family, okay?

Alas, this man is so selfish.

When you are weak, he may have sympathy for you, but once you are strong, he will immediately become jealous, thinking that you should not be good or strong.

In the past, the property of Lizheng's family was only average, and the villagers had nothing to say, but now, when the rice of Lizheng's family was obviously better than everyone else, it immediately aroused their dissatisfaction.

Lin Yi is a scholar of several generations in a family, and he himself has been in school for several years. He is well-informed and has been in the right position for decades. This majesty is not something that a few villagers can question with a few words.

Lin Yiwei said coldly, "Hmph, my rice is better this year, but can't my rice be better than before?"

But then he glanced sharply at those who questioned him, and continued, "That's right. The reason why my family's rice is better than before is because of Lan girl's credit."

I still remember when Lin Yuelan reminded him to plant some straw ash and scatter the ash into the field, he followed it suspiciously.

That's what it turned out to be.

As soon as Li Zheng's words came out, the scene suddenly became lively with a "coax".

"It turned out to be true."

"It turns out that Li Zheng really got a way from Lan girl, no wonder his rice is better than before."

"Hmph, I just said that Li Zheng got a benefit from that girl, but I won't tell everyone."

...

As everyone talked about it, the voices of doubts against Li Zheng became louder and louder.

Just when everyone was talking more and more, Lin Yiwei shouted loudly, "Shut up!"

Everyone looked at Lizheng with doubts and anger, thinking that Lizheng didn't really care about the interests of the big guy.

Li Zheng immediately said, "Before Lan girl told me, I was very confused, but that's what I did. I only know now that it can increase production."

This is to tell everyone that he did not know that such an approach could increase production.

Li Zheng said so, and everyone believed it.

Because there is no need to lie to them.

However, there are still doubts.

"Then why didn't you tell everyone, and do the same?" Lin Daniu rolled his eyes, grabbed Li Zheng's short, and began to ask, "If you told everyone, maybe everyone's harvest will increase now. now, isn't it?"

When you think about it, it's the same principle.

If Li Zheng told everyone at the time and did the same, maybe it was not the Li Zheng family who increased production now, but everyone together.

Li Zheng glared at the noisy Lin Daniu, and then he asked sharply, "At the beginning, even I doubted and questioned Lan girl, tell you, will you believe it again? Do you think you will believe in someone? Is the child still a nemesis? What's more, this child has always been repelled by you, isn't it?"

Hearing Li Zheng's words, everyone's expressions softened, and their expressions immediately became serious and thoughtful.

A child is also a nemesis of Linjia Village. Of course no one will believe what she says.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads or looking in denial, Li Zheng continued, "You sure won't believe it, will you? It's just that now that people have a bumper harvest of rice, they are all bewitched and suspect that I am a liar. It's coming, ah!"

This "ah" was extraordinarily loud and hostile, and it also revealed Lin Yiwei's anger, anger and dissatisfaction.

He spent 30 years in vain for his hard work, but in the end, he still had to be questioned about his character, saying that he was not sad or sad must be false.

Lin Yiwei also showed sadness, sadness and disappointment on his face, he waved his hand and said in a cold tone, "Since everyone is dissatisfied with my concealment and questioned my character, Lin Yiwei, that's good, today you guys Let’s re-select Haolizheng who doesn’t hide everything from you and thinks it’s difficult for you to lead you to become rich. I’m tired, so just retire and rest!”

As soon as Li Zheng's words fell, except for Lin Daniu, who was overjoyed, everyone else was shocked.

Li Zheng doesn't want to be Li Zheng of Linjia Village? Are they hurt by them?

How is this possible?

In Linjia Village, besides Lin Yiwei, who else could unselfishly and sincerely want to lead everyone to develop and become rich? Besides, Lin Yiwei's family can read and write, have extensive knowledge, and have extensive personal connections, even in the capital, not to mention a younger brother who is a teacher in Anding County.

As long as these backgrounds are closed, the people of Linjia Village can be protected from being bullied by other villages.

If people outside knew that Lin Yiwei was forced to be inappropriate by them, then Linjia Village would definitely be laughed at and called them stupid.

Therefore, today, no matter what, Lin Yiwei cannot be allowed to let go of his position as Li Zheng.

"Lizheng, we were wrong, don't be Lizheng."

"Yes, it's our fault. We shouldn't be tempted by others and question you. We apologize. You...you are still the Lizheng of our Linjia Village, and we will never question you indiscriminately in the future."

...

When Lin Daniu listened to these words of retaining Lin Yiwei to continue to be the righteous, his face was dark with anger, and it was extremely ugly.

He was extremely dissatisfied.

But what if he doesn't accept it? Depending on the situation, as long as he mentions that he is a Lizheng, he will definitely be scolded by everyone.

Therefore, he can only hold back now, watching Lin Yiwei be retained by everyone and continue to be the righteous.

After a while, Lin Yiwei waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he said very seriously, "Since you can trust my character and keep me again and again, if I continue to refuse, I will take Joe. Once I said an ugly word in front of me, if I question Lin's character like this again, then I will not sit down in the right place in Linjia Village, and I will not take care of the same thing about Linjia Village!"

"No, no, no next time."

Afraid that Lin Yiwei would really give up the burden, they shook their heads and promised.

Lin Yiwei continued to be the right man without a doubt.

"Ah, something has happened, something has happened!" A loud shout came from outside.

Lin Yiwei really thought that something big had happened, so he immediately stepped over and asked with a serious look, "Folk, what happened?"

Lin Minfeng was panting, propped up his knee with one hand, pointed to the outside with the other, and said, "Outside... I'm face Lan girl..." He ran too fast, and now he can't even speak.

Lin Yiwei looked at it, thinking that something happened to Lin Yuelan, and her expression became anxious.

He asked sharply, "Folk, talk well, what's going on outside? What happened to Lan girl?"

After breathing for a while, Lin Minfeng finally calmed down and spoke fluently.

However, his expression was not panic, but excitement and excitement. He pointed to the outside and said, "Lady Lan is going to cut rice today."

Hearing that it was rice cutting, Lin Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What happened to Lan girl cutting rice?" It's such a good day, and the rice is ripe. It's normal to go to cut rice, so there's nothing to make a fuss about? .

Lin Minfeng said, "The Lan girl's family didn't cut the rice and put it in the yard, but brought a very large thing, and a few people dragged it there, saying that it can be artificially cut at the same time, and this thing can be threshed at the same time."

"What?" Everyone was immediately surprised and puzzled. "How is this possible?" You must know that everyone came back to thresh after cutting the burden.

So, how exactly is threshing in the fields? What is this thing?
