CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 117: THIS WON’T END PEACEFULLY

"Third Brother, you... you’ve done better than me and Big Brother, Second Brother is happy for you!" Lin Ershui said, tears welling up in his eyes.

Lin Sanshui had never seen his Second Brother like this before and hastily replied, "Second Brother, there’s no yours or mine, we’re blood brothers, what I gain is what you gain. From now on, if you need to use a cow, just come over and take one, it’ll save us from having to ask others."

"Good, good!" Lin Ershui responded repeatedly.

"By the way, Second Brother, what’s going on in our village? Whose house is it? Why are they crying like this?" Lin Sanshui asked.

"It’s Lin Man’s family. I specifically waited here for you. Be careful when you go back to the village because this family is likely not going to settle it peacefully today!" Lin Ershui’s cheerful face suddenly turned worried.

"Their family?" Lin Sanshui wondered aloud, "Weren’t they just driven out by the village for offending someone, a good half-month ago?"

Lin Ershui raised his head incredulously, "You don’t know who they offended?"

"You’re joking, how could I possibly know? It certainly can’t be me!" Lin Sanshui replied.

Lin Ershui twitched his mouth, "Well, it’s unfortunate, but it really is you!"

Even he didn’t know when his third brother sided with a bigshot, especially since the village head had helped Lin Man’s family only to regret it later.

"Impossible," Lin Sanshui’s neck swelled with anger, "If I really had this kind of power, how could I still be humiliated by him?"

About Little Niu pushing Niannian into the river, even if he couldn’t lay a hand on the child, he should have at least taught Lin Man a lesson, instead of swallowing this grievance!

"If you don’t believe it, you can go ask yourself. Lin Man’s entire family is now kneeling at the village head’s door, begging for forgiveness." Lin Ershui pointed inside.

Lin Sanshui still didn’t believe it and started to drive off with the ox cart.

He hadn’t gone far before he stopped and called back, "Second Brother, help me take the ox cart home. I need to see what’s really happening."

"Alright, then you go." Lin Ershui pulled a grin and jogged over. He had been envious for a long time and was eager to try driving the cart.

Just as Lin Sanshui got down, he eagerly climbed up into the cart.

"Giddy-up!"

Lin Sanshui hadn’t left yet when Lin Ershui couldn’t wait to drive off.

"Second Uncle, is it fun?" Gu Nian climbed to the front and poked his head to ask.

Lin Ershui’s old face blushed, "Fun, what fun? Sit properly, or you’ll fall off later!"

Gu Nian chuckled and didn’t tease him further.

When the ox cart stopped at home, Lin Ershui helped carry things inside before looking closely at what they were.

Lin Ershui’s eyes widened, "You’ve bought so much rice and white flour, aren’t you living anymore?"

Mrs. Jiang had been called out to join the commotion and wasn’t at home.

Erhu heard this remark, chuckled twice but didn’t say anything, and just moved things inside.

As for Sanhu and Little Hu, who knew where they had run off to.

Gu Nian could only explain, "Didn’t a Young Master Nan just move to our village? This Young Master Nan likes good food, so the family made some money from this and wants to invest in better meals."

Gu Nian had no choice but to use Nan Jin Yu as a cover.

Of course, saying this made her a bit guilty.

Since that incident, two skilled chefs had come from Nan Jin Yu’s side, and she hadn’t cooked a single dish herself.

Lin Ershui finally nodded with understanding, "No wonder, I was wondering where your dad got the silver to buy a cow, now it seems there’s an explanation."
