Chapter 188 Feels Really Disgusted
Seeing Lin Bao showing off, Scarface increased the force in his hand.
After they had finished cracking all the walnuts, Lin Bao was almost full.
Seeing Lin Cai take the walnuts to fry, he rubbed his stomach, swallowed hard, and thought to himself, "I should have known better than to eat so much!"
Lin Bao walked out of the kitchen and saw Gu Zhan cleaning up the shells. He went over to him and said, "Old Gu, are we brothers?"
"If we're brothers, then tell me, what did you do when you went out, why did you come back, and do you have no ulterior motives towards me?"
Gu Zhan, who was cleaning up walnut shells, looked up at Lin Bao: "Are you asking me or Cai'er?"
"Of course I wanted to ask you, and what kind of weird way of addressing me is that? My sister is your sister, you should call me Sister Lin or Sister of the Lin Family, not Cai'er?"
"That's not how you should address someone. Don't call them that in the future, or my future brother-in-law will definitely get jealous."
After he finished speaking, he patted the other person on the shoulder. Gu Zhan looked at him with a leisurely gaze, glanced at him twice, and then continued sweeping the floor.
It's alright, Lin Bao is no big deal, as long as the parents agree.
Everything was peaceful in Gujia Village, but things weren't so good in Longxing County. Recently, there have been incidents of people kidnapping girls and even stealing grain in Longxing County.
Those people seemed to have come prepared; whenever they saw a rice shop open, they would go in and rob it.
Even if the store wasn't open, they would smash down the door of the rice shop and empty it of everything inside.
Several rice shops suffered heavy losses, but when they went to find the county magistrate, they discovered that he was nowhere to be found.
The county magistrate had disappeared, and the entire backyard of the county government office was empty and in complete disarray; everything that had been there was gone.
It was like being robbed; nothing of value was missing.
Without being able to find the county magistrate, they had nowhere to seek justice, and those who had suffered heavy losses all went to East Street.
When Lin Long heard Atai say that they had all come looking for him, Lin Long immediately put on a stern face.
"What are you all doing coming here? Is this a place for me to meddle in other people's business?"
"Tell them to get lost. Tell them I don't care about this. Let them ask whoever wants to help them, just don't come looking for me."
Upon hearing this, Atai turned and left without hesitation. But as soon as he finished conveying his message, the people outside burst into tears.
"Atai, please put in a good word for us! Can you ask Brother Long for help? We really can't survive!"
"Our family depends on that shop for a living, and now it's all been looted. There's nothing left inside. How are we supposed to survive?"
"Brother Atai, could you please talk to him again for us? If Brother Long is willing to help us get those rice grains back, we will definitely thank him properly."
Atai listened to their words without any change in expression, standing at the door watching them.
“My boss never repeats himself, and he never changes his mind. If he says he won’t help, he means he won’t help.”
"Since you've promised benefits, you can go find others; there are plenty of people willing to help you."
After Atai finished speaking, he turned around and went inside, completely ignoring how much the people behind him were crying and making a scene.
The reason they came to find Lin Long was not entirely because Lin Long was the boss of East Street, but also because Lin Long had a bottom line and would not ask them for an exorbitant amount.
But if they go to other people, the outcome will be different. They might find their things in the end, only to have them all put into someone else's bag.
Even if the group was unwilling to leave, they had no choice but to go when they saw that the door was tightly closed and there was no room for negotiation.
On the other side, Zhao Li, who had completely regarded Yichun Garden as his home and had been living there for several months, almost crushed his cup when he heard that the county magistrate had run away with his entire family.
"A local official, a local leader, ran away with his family overnight over such a trivial matter. Who put such a person here?"
Zhao Li is very angry. He has never encountered anything like this in his life.
Moreover, this is the territory under the jurisdiction of that great general. How could the county magistrate of such a place be such a coward?
He looked at the person giving the report: "What exactly happened? Why did he run away? Have you investigated everything thoroughly?"
The man in black who reported told Zhao Li all the information they had found, and Zhao Li couldn't sit still after hearing it.
"It's just a snowfall, it's just a little cold, yet it's caused such panic. What are they trying to do? Are they planning a rebellion?"
Zhao Li slammed his hand on the table, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out, but turned back as soon as he stepped out the door.
After wrapping himself in his coat, he went out again and found Hua Niang. But when Hua Niang saw him, it was as if she had seen a virus; she really didn't want to get close to him at all.
Zhao Li sat in the warm room and looked at the furnishings: "It seems that Boss Hua is living a pretty good life. Just the furnishings in this room are pleasing to the eye!"
Hua Niang stood not far away with her head down, cursing Zhao Li in her heart.
But upon hearing Zhao Li's words, she had no choice but to reply, "Young master is joking. Isn't this how women live?"
"Although I am old and my beauty has faded, I still like these beautiful things. For example, when you gentlemen come, don't you all prefer the pretty girls in our courtyard?"
Damn it, I'm here to make money. If I don't use the money to dress myself up and spend it on myself, am I supposed to throw it into the river?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li looked at Hua Niang standing there and indeed saw that Hua Niang's attire was comparable to that of the girls in the courtyard.
He told Hua Niang to raise her head, and Hua Niang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
This scoundrel has been living here for months and has no intention of leaving. Now he suddenly comes here asking her all sorts of questions. Could it be...?
The thought had barely formed in her mind when Hua Niang trembled almost imperceptibly, so much so that she didn't have time to lift her head.
Zhao Li's face darkened when he didn't see Hua Niang look up: "What? Doesn't Boss Hua want to look up?"
"Do you think my eyes aren't good enough to see Boss Hua's beautiful face?"
Hua Niang felt like she was about to vomit; she was truly disgusted. She loved beauty, but otherwise, she was self-aware.
But hearing what this person was saying now, she felt really disgusted and wanted him to shut up and get lost!
