After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 379 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

At this time, the eight people from Xujia Village plus the people from the old Xu family had occupied all the seating spaces in the house.

When they heard that Xu Linzhi asked them to release the person, they had nothing to worry about.

After discussing it together, everyone released them all.

Anyway, since we have more people on our side, even if the other party wants to go back on their word, they are no match for us.

Besides, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and they are not afraid even if things get out of hand.

"We all come from the same village, and now we are in this unfamiliar capital, so we must unite and not trip each other up..."

As soon as Xu Qingrong was released, he rubbed his red and swollen cheeks and began to preach.

He had been the village chief for so many years and thought he had a firm grasp on these people's minds.

"Although I did something bad with good intentions, my starting point was not for your own good. You all followed me to escape the famine, and as the village chief, I definitely want you all to have enough food and warm clothes, and for everyone to raise a family..."

It has to be said that Xu Qingrong's words really touched everyone's heart. In the past, everyone would have nodded in agreement.

By the way, I would like to ask what I should do to make a living so that I can gain a foothold in this capital city.

But after what happened at the mine, he still wanted to do this and try to get away with it by just saying a few words. That would be absolutely impossible.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think we are three-year-old kids?"

Seeing that Xu Qingrong was still talking nonstop, Lai Zi became impatient and interrupted him with a cold snort.

"If you really want to solve the problem, give each of us a hundred taels of silver first."

"Yes, yes. The village chief's family is now a wealthy family. It's only a hundred taels of silver. It's definitely not a big deal for you..."

"With one hundred taels, we can redeem the indenture and regain our freedom..."

With Lai Zi taking the lead, everyone started shouting loudly.

When Xu Qingrong heard that these people wanted one hundred taels each, he immediately became furious.

A bunch of mud-legged people digging for food in the dirt, their goods can be sold for less than a hundred taels of silver per pound, yet these people really dare to ask for it.

What do you mean by a mere one hundred taels of silver?

Still...

These people can't even make a few coins even if they turn their heads upside down, but they still have the audacity to say such things.

Xu Qingrong was almost laughing out of anger. Just as he was about to step forward to argue with everyone, Xu Linzhi grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Everyone, don't worry. I want to talk to my father."

Just at this moment, bursts of delicious food came from the big kitchen, making everyone in the house feel hungry.

"Just go and discuss it. We can talk about it after dinner."

The people in Xujia Village were not afraid of any tricks that the village chief and his family might play. After all, they had nothing now and had nothing to lose.

Everyone rushed to the big kitchen and quickly brought out several baskets of large white flour steamed buns.

There was also rice porridge in the pot, but everyone's eyes were only on the steamed buns. Everyone held several in their hands and devoured them immediately.

"Did you think of any solution, girl?"

Xu Qingrong looked at those people eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his stomach made a gurgling sound.

They have been building a dam outside these days, and they are tired and hungry every day, which is really exhausting.

"Dad, you just came back and passed by the alley entrance over there. Did you see the newly opened pharmacy?"

Looking at the villagers in the yard who were like hungry wolves, Xu Linzhi turned his eyes away with disgust.

"I saw it. It's the World Medical Clinic. I think there are a lot of people coming and going there. Maybe he is a very good doctor..."

When Xu Qingrong thought about the scene he saw when he just came back, he couldn't help but admire his daughter's vision.

This yard bought a good deal. In the future, if they have a headache or a fever, we can all get along well with each other as neighbors. It’s probably too embarrassing for them to charge money for just a few handfuls of herbs.

"Hehe...that pharmacy was opened by Xu Qinghe and Cui."

Seeing that her father still knew nothing, Xu Linzhi told him everything she had heard and seen.

"Sister, you said that Cui is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect? His family also opened such a large pharmacy?"

Before Xu Qingrong could react, Brother Xu, who was standing behind him and listening, couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Did you hear it wrong? During all the years that Cui was in Xujia Village, I never heard that she knew any medical skills?"

Xu Qingrong came back to his senses and shook his head in disbelief.

As for Xu Qinghe and his wife, if it weren't for the help of the Cui family over the years, they would have starved to death long ago.

If there really is such a powerful master, why would he have kept it to himself until now?

"Dad, big brother, this is not the point."

Xu Linzhi was a little anxious. She knew very well what her father and brother were thinking.

It's just jealousy at work. I can't stand seeing others having such good things happen to them.

"If that family wants to be in the spotlight, let them do it. It will also help solve our urgent need..."

Xu Linzhi pointed at those who were still scrambling for steamed buns and gave a meaningful smile.

"My daughter's meaning is..."

After Xu Linzhi's guidance, Xu Qingrong immediately reacted.

"Dad understands. I'll go talk to them right away..."

The tightly stretched rope that Xu Qingrong had been holding finally loosened. He waved to Xu Linzhi and strode towards the people of Xujia Village.

"Sister, you used this trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone really well..."

Brother Xu muttered to himself, looking at his little sister with admiration.

"Of course, doesn't Dad always say that my sister is the smartest person in our family?"

Brother Xu and his companions also heard their conversation and came over to praise them.

They had all been severely beaten by the villagers before, and now they were all still grimacing and shouting in pain.

However, thinking of the arrogance of these people just now, they began to look forward to it. They wanted to see if Xu Qinghe would be beaten up like their brothers if he was entangled by them.

hey-hey……

Anyway, the two families live very close to each other, so they can also go and watch the fun.

Xu Qingrong didn't know what he said to those people. Anyway, when he finished speaking, Xu Linzhi saw that everyone was looking at him strangely.

"What my father said is true. When you came here, did you see the pharmacy at the entrance of the alley? That's the one they just opened..."

Xu Linzhi thought that these people did not believe what they said, so she quickly recounted the story of the opening of the Tianshi Medical Clinic in vivid detail.
