Chapter 223 The sound of a dog barking at the door!
"Will the police come and arrest me? Haha."
Lin Shengwen shook his head and responded to his wife, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"I'm certainly not worried about the police."
Hearing Lin Shengwen's words, his wife's face was filled with worry, and she quickly said:
"The person I'm really worried about is Uncle Dong."
"If the news of you secretly cooking gets to Uncle Dong's ears, our whole family will be kicked out of Tazhai."
After the words fell, Lin Shengwen finally raised his head, glared at his wife coldly, and said in a cold voice:
"Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong, please stop scaring yourself with him all day long."
"If Uncle Hui hadn't been out of town and didn't make it back in time for the election, who would have been the village chief?"
The Uncle Hui that Lin Shengwen mentioned was Lin Zonghui, the head of their third branch.
Twenty years ago, before Lin Yaodong rose to prominence, Lin Zonghui's prestige in Tazhai was quite high, and he was once considered a strong candidate for the next village chief.
Unfortunately, when the new village chief was being elected that year, Lin Zonghui happened to encounter some trouble at his factory in another place, so he was unable to return in time.
Since his biggest competitor was gone, Lin Yaodong naturally became the new village chief.
Later, after Lin Yaodong led the entire village to participate in drug production and made every household rich, his position became unshakable.
At this point, Lin Zonghui could no longer save the situation and could only be suppressed by Lin Yaodong.
This pressure has lasted for more than 20 years.
If the situation remained like this, Lin Zonghui would not be unable to accept it.
But just a year ago, Lin Zonghui's second son Lin Erbao had a conflict with Lin Jingwen, and had one leg broken by the people from the first house led by Lin Jingwen.
If it weren't for the Lin Shengwen brothers who risked their lives to save him, it would not be as simple as breaking a leg. Lin Erbao might even lose his life at the hands of Lin Jingwen.
Seeing his son in such a miserable situation, how could Lin Zonghui not be angry?
He went to Lin Yaodong's house to question him angrily, but all he got was a nonchalant reply:
"These are just minor conflicts between the younger generation. Why should we, as elders, make such a big deal out of it? Isn't it better to let them handle it themselves?"
"But Jingwen went a little too far this time, so I've put him in solitary confinement for a week and told him to pay Erbao's medical bills."
"Look at how I handle this, are you satisfied?"
Lin Shengwen remembered that when Lin Yaodong said these words, his tone was indescribably cold and indifferent.
It is not difficult to see that Lin Yaodong does not take the people from the third room seriously at all.
Hearing Lin Yaodong's response, Lin Zonghui was naturally very angry. He argued with Lin Yaodong at that time, and even went so far as to hold a clan meeting.
However, over the years, almost all the elders of the Lin clan have been bribed by Lin Yaodong, and the final result is naturally predictable.
Ever since this incident, a huge rift has arisen between Lin Zonghui and Lin Yaodong, and the relationship between their third and first wives has also reached a freezing point.
So at this time, when Lin Shengwen heard his wife constantly using Lin Yaodong to scare people, he naturally felt a little angry.
After hearing Lin Shengwen's words, his wife's expression became a little complicated.
She naturally knew about the conflict between the third and first wives, but the key point was that the third wife was too weak to shake Lin Yaodong's position.
In this situation, what other option is there besides accepting what is happening?
"Awen, no matter how reluctant you are, Uncle Dong is the village chief of our Tazhai Village after all."
"You also know how ruthless Uncle Dong is. If he knew you broke the rules he set, the consequences would be predictable."
Seeing that her husband showed no signs of anger, the wife continued to persuade him in a low voice:
"Besides, even during the ice-making ban period, the factory in our village will still pay everyone."
"So, why would you take such a big risk just for the sake of a momentary gain?"
Lin Yaodong is a thoughtful person. He knows that everyone will feel itchy during the cooking stoppage period because of the lack of income, so he has already prepared a series of response policies.
For example, the wages paid by this factory is one of them.
Although the money paid by the factory is far from comparable to the huge profits earned by the system, it is always better than nothing.
In addition, Lin Yaodong has the final say in Tazhai, so naturally no one dares to openly disobey his orders.
Over the years, everyone has developed a habit and no longer raises any objections.
However, Lin Shengwen frowned slightly at this moment, and obviously did not listen to his wife's advice. Instead, he said impatiently:
"Who can afford the little money the factory has?"
"I'm risking my life to make a lot of money."
Lin Shengwen used to be used to spending money lavishly. He would spend money without blinking an eye, and the cash flowed out like water.
If it were during the booming period, with a continuous source of high-profit income, it would be able to support his extravagance.
But now during the shutdown period, the drug income has completely stopped. How can he use the little salary paid by the factory?
Not to mention, he also had a mistress outside and gave her a sum of money every month.
In this situation, he naturally could not bear it any longer, so he took the risk to secretly make ice.
He had already found several suitable buyers for the batch of goods that he was about to finish, and he would probably be able to sell them smoothly after they were all completed.
But tonight, Lin Yaodong suddenly forbade him to leave Tazhai, which was beyond Lin Shengwen's expectations.
Half an hour ago, he came back in the heavy rain and was annoyed for a while.
But in the end, he came up with a solution that he thought was appropriate.
Lin Shengwen thought that although he could not leave Tazhai, he could find a trustworthy person to complete the transaction on his behalf.
He even had a candidate in mind, and that was his biological brother Lin Shengwu.
The two are brothers from the same mother, and Lin Shengwu has always taken great care of his younger brother Lin Shengwen since he was a child.
So Lin Shengwen was naturally 100% confident about his brother.
Although when his brother finds out that he secretly made ice, he will not be able to help but criticize him severely.
But Lin Shengwen didn't care much, because based on his understanding of his brother, the other party would definitely settle his affairs in the end.
Anyway, as long as I can get the money, getting scolded doesn't matter.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here and go upstairs to bed."
Lin Shengwen waved his hand impatiently and sent his wife away.
After all, his delivery date is approaching, and he has to work overtime these days. How can he bear to have his wife around to interfere with his work?
Seeing that her husband refused to listen to her advice, the wife shook her head helplessly, her face full of worry.
But at this time, she had no other choice but to say worriedly:
"Well, then you better be careful."
After saying this, she was ready to turn around and leave.
Just then, a burst of rapid dog barking suddenly came from the door.
"what happened?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Shengwen frowned slightly and felt a little alert.
