Chapter 175: Someone must have done it on purpose
Chapter 175 Someone must do it on purpose
The kitten is like a nimble monkey, jumping up and down, climbing the tree to pick fruit, faster than adults.
With the help of two people sent by Yu Suisheng, under the onlookers of the entire Lintian Village, all the ripe fruits of the kitten's house were picked.
A total of 100 catties of plums, 120 catties of bayberry, and 100 catties of lychees.
According to the price of plums for three cents per pound, bayberry for five cents per pound, and lychees for six cents per pound, a total of one or two to five cents of silver was sold.
With this huge fortune, Tao Yinzhen hid silver everywhere, for fear that some thieves would visit their house tonight.
Hiding the money bag in the earth hole under the firewood pile in the kitchen, Tao Yinzhen's excited heart calmed down a bit.
She closed the door, and then lowered her voice to the kitten who was full of joy and tiredness: "Kitten, come here, my mother has something to tell you."
The kitten came over, Tao Yinzhen grabbed his hand, glanced left and right, and said very carefully: "Lin Clan wants you to intercede with Madam Bai and help the whole village sell the fruit, don't go. , When Patriarch Lin asks you, you can tell him that Madam Bai did not express her position or speak."
The elder of the Lin family could not have personally run to ask Bai Wutong if the kitten had pleaded with the villagers.
Kitten was startled, then shook his head, "I'm going to help the villagers to ask if it's okay, if Madam Bai doesn't want to, I won't say it anymore, they have helped us anyway, mother you said, we have to repay our kindness, Revenge for revenge."
Tao Yinzhen didn't expect the kitten to say these words, so she took him into her arms and sighed, "Silly child." After all, she didn't say anything about asking him not to ask Bai Wutong for mercy.
Tao Yinzhen was afraid that someone would steal the money, so he didn't sleep well all night. When it was dawn, he was relieved and made up his mind to buy a ferocious wolf dog and come back to watch the house later.
Otherwise, if a thief really comes, she is a weak woman and a kitten, and she has no ability to resist.
Before the kitten went to see Bai Wutong, he deliberately washed his feet, put on new shoes, and put on his most appropriate clothes.
Xiaobai already knew him, the kitten stood at the door, glanced at him lazily, and fell down again.
Kitten felt that it was lazy and not like a wolf at all, and was as fat as Xiaobai in his pigsty.
That's right, his pigs are white and clean, so they are also called Xiaobai.
Whenever he sees his own pig, he will say, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, grow up quickly, as a pig, how can you be thinner than the wolf next door.
Bai Wutong was getting up to make breakfast, and when he saw the kitten standing outside the yard, he beckoned to him, "Have you eaten?"
Kitten nodded hurriedly, for fear that Bai Wutong would leave the meal, "Eat and eat."
His face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and Bai Wutong felt happy when he saw it.
The kitten sat for a while, clenched his fists, and his eyes gradually became firmer, "Mrs. Bai, the patriarch of our village asked me to persuade you to accept the fruits of the whole village. The madam doesn't need to answer, I just ask." He emphasized: "I really don't need to. Reply!"
Anyway, he asked, and he could explain it to Elder Lin.
Without waiting for Bai Wutong to respond, he quickly gave Bai Wutong a deep salute, "I'm done asking now, I'll leave, Madam, goodbye sir."
After saying that, he ran away, making it clear that he was just here to make soy sauce.
Bai Wutong looked at his fast running back, and evoked a smile.
This kid is really smart.
Knowing the gratitude and repayment, and knowing how to advance and retreat, it is not a little bit stronger than the adults of Lintian Village.
As soon as the kitten arrived home on the front feet, the patriarch Lin came on the back feet.
He anxiously asked the kitten directly: "How is it? What did Mrs. Bai say?"
Kitten lowered his head and said, "I told my wife to ask her to collect the village's fruit, but my wife didn't speak, so I came back."
The old Lin clan stomped his feet and asked eagerly, "You didn't ask again?"
The kitten bit her lip and took a step back a little scared.
Tao Yinzhen hurriedly put the kitten behind her, "Mrs. Bai doesn't want to, even a child can't do anything about the kitten."
Lin Clan took a look at the magnanimous kitten, and felt even more depressed, and threw his sleeves away.
Just when the patriarch Lin was heartbroken that he could not sell several fruit trees for a penny, Yu Suisheng suddenly came to the door.
Clan Chief Lin saw him appear and thought that things had turned a corner, and his silent heart was suddenly lit up.
Could it be that Mrs. Bai was moved by the kitten?
So, agree?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got around, and asked expectantly, "Master Yu is here to collect the fruit?"
Yu Suisheng glanced at him, feeling extremely oppressed.
The heart of the old man of the Lin clan was hanging in his throat. Isn't he here to collect the fruit?
Just as his heart was beating up and down, Yu Suisheng nodded.
The old face of Lao Le of the Lin tribe turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
Kitten was not taken care of by their village chief in vain.
However, he didn't laugh for long.
"The kitten is kind, and both Mrs. Bai and I are deeply touched, but"
"But what?"
"Lintian Village's previous practice really worried Yu Mou, so the price for you can only be one penny per pound for plums, two penny per catty for bayberry, and three penny per catty for lychees."
The Lin family was shocked when they got older, this is less than half the price of the kitten's house.
he pleaded: "Can't it be higher?"
Yu Suisheng only pressed this price, and they were considered cheap.
Even if Yu Suisheng was talking about a penny or four jins now, a lot of people from the whole village would come to sell it.
The old man of the Lin family knew this, so in the face of Yu Suisheng who had no room for bargaining, the old man of the Lin family could only compromise.
Compared with not having a penny, this is also a pleasant surprise.
The elder of the Lin family just told the villagers the news. Everyone cheered. Before they could pick the fruit, the kitten ran out crying.
Kitten was carrying an empty back basket and was crying, "Master Yu, I can't give you any fruit today."
Yu Suisheng handed him a handkerchief to wipe his tears, "What's wrong? Isn't there a few hundred kilograms on the tree?"
Hearing Yu Suisheng say that there are still several hundred kilograms on the tree, several men in Lintian Village hurriedly bowed nervously.
The old Lin clan sighed in his heart, shouldn't some of them kill a thousand knives with cheap hands, and ruin all the fruits of the kitten's family!
The kitten burst into tears, "It's gone, all the fruit on the tree is gone, woo woo-"
The fruit is well on the tree. This family has a few trees of their own. They don’t worry about eating at all. Suddenly they disappear. Someone must have done it deliberately.
Yu Suisheng hugged the crying heartbroken kitten, looked at the elder Lin, and said coldly, "Your village's disposition is really "good"."
Hearing this, the Lin Clan was very afraid that Yu Suisheng would not accept their fruit again, and hurriedly said: "Maybe it was too windy last night and the fruit was lost, but it doesn't matter, our villagers can make it up for him!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers who knew who did it were unhappy. Why did they do nothing, and they would pay for the fruit of the kitten's family, and immediately said: "No! If you want to pay, you will pay for those who are cheap! "
That's all right now, directly admitting that their nature is so "good".
