Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Huge Sum of Money

Lin Qiang and Mangzi were beaten up pretty badly, but they didn’t dare to report it because they were afraid of what might come out about themselves.

But if they just let it go, they really couldn’t bear it!

On what grounds do they go to settle accounts with someone, only to get viciously thrashed in return?

Lin Qiang thought of a plan; he found a public phone and called the place in charge of the street vendors. He was ready to report them! He would show them what’s what!

When Qian Chunli came home from work, she was bound to ask about Lin Qiang’s injuries.

"Qiangzi! Who have you been fighting with?"

Lin Qiang told Qian Chunli the whole truth, "I took Mangzi to settle accounts with Lin Xia and Lin Dong! As a result, we were beaten by them and a few men from the stall!" He couldn’t bear to think about it, the more he did, the more he felt like spitting blood in rage!

Qian Chunli was furious, "We can’t just let it go like that! We’ll sue them! Put them behind bars!"

"Mom! Let’s not go through the police, have you forgotten about the stunt with the penstock?" Lin Qiang grimaced, it really hurt!

Initially, before the New Year, they had gone to the old Xu Family intending to ask about something but ended up in a fight with a deadbeat, and when the police came, they sided with the other party.

Lin Qiang and Lin Aiguo both couldn’t swallow the insult, so after the New Year, Lin Qiang and Mangzi took the opportunity to set the Xu Family’s penstock on fire in the Big Mountain, which made them feel avenged.

But the thought of it could easily lead back to them, and that deadbeat got a job at the station. For some reason, even after being very cautious for a long time, nobody came to settle scores with them.

But if they went to the police, all being part of the same system, there was no guarantee that Xu’s son wouldn’t catch them by the tail. What if they were the ones who ended up getting sued in an attempt to sue others?

Qian Chunli nodded quickly, "Right! How could I forget about that!" When they were discussing it back then, she had said not to do it, but who listened to her? It’s too late to say anything now.

She looked at her son’s bruised body with pity, and tears came to her eyes in an instant, "These bastards are ruthless nowadays! They dare to slash anyone!

We can’t just let it go like this! Let’s call your big uncle and second uncle down here! We’ll give them a taste of their own medicine!"

"That’s right! Beat them hard! Let them show off!" Lin Qiang said through clenched teeth with hatred.

However, just as Qian Chunli was about to contact people, Lin Qiang suddenly remembered the call he made, "Mom! Wait a minute! I called the Industrial and Commercial Administration earlier. I don’t know if they will crack down on them!"

"Who knows? The government’s actions are unpredictable! Qiangzi! So do I notify your big uncle and second uncle or not?" Qian Chunli was unsure what to do for a moment.

Lin Qiang thought for a while, "Mom! You still tell them! We can’t just swallow this insult no matter what!"

When the Qian Family brothers and their crew came down the next day, Qian Chunli and Lin Qiang had specially taken the day off to go to the city, all to settle accounts with Lin Xia and Lin Dong!

On the way, they were all gesturing and thinking about how to deal with them once they arrived!

They had already evaded them once last time; this time, there couldn’t be a second time at any cost!

But when they arrived at the stall area, there was not a single vendor in sight.

Lin Qiang almost wanted to slap himself right there; why did he have to act so impulsively? Making that call!

The government was actually efficient this time! Efficient enough to make him want to curse at his mother!

As it turned out, Lin Xia and the others had caught wind that people were coming down, so they temporarily stopped vending.

But Jiang Mingyuan had no issues, so the goods continued to be distributed, just at a slower pace.

In fact, there wasn’t much stock left.

Without waiting for Lin Xia to vend, what was left at Jiang Mingyuan’s was already sold out.

When it came time to settle accounts, Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan each ended up with thirty-five hundred yuan.

You have to understand, this was in the early eighties, so this was already a huge sum of money.

Because she didn’t have an ID card, and couldn’t get a passbook without a local household registration, Lin Xia put all the money in her room inside Jade, along with her prized monkey stamp, in a wooden box.

From then on, when she couldn’t sleep at night, in addition to looking at her monkey stamp, she had a new pleasure—looking at money!

Jiang Mingyuan went home and told Zhao Da Nainai about how he and Lin Xia had each made thirty-five hundred from their partnership.

Actually, he usually didn’t say much about how much he earned, as it wasn’t just for himself; he had an older brother and a younger sister too. Being the middle child, he had to keep some things for himself, right?

So everyone knew he had money, but no one knew exactly how much he had.

But this time, he felt he needed to mention it so his mother would also appreciate Lin Xia’s kindness!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da Nainai was utterly shocked, "Second son, how did you earn so much?"

She knew about Lin Xia’s partnership with her second son, but she hadn’t expected them to make that much in the end.

Jiang Mingyuan briefly recounted the events to her, which made Zhao Da Nainai sigh with admiration, "We really have to acknowledge that girl Xiaolin’s sense of righteousness. She could have just borrowed the money and retrieved the fabric herself, couldn’t she? Wasn’t she thinking about letting you make some money to repay favors too?"

"Second son, we have to be aware when we deal with people! Her oldest brother isn’t at home, and it’s just the few of them living their lives together;

In the future, if the Lin Family has any trouble, you are their elder brother, and you must be at the forefront!

We should act like real relatives! I still remember the first time the three of them came to our house. I liked that child the moment I laid eyes on her. It seems mother wasn’t wrong, she’s even more generous than us!"

"Mom! Don’t worry! I’ll definitely treat them all like my own brothers and sisters!"

No sooner had Jiang Mingyuan finished speaking than Zhao Da Nainai chuckled, "Second son, are you trying to fool me? You see Lin Dong and Lin Qiu as a brother and sister, but do you see Lin Xia as a sister too?"

She wasn’t blind with old age that she wouldn’t notice, was she?

When did her second son ever treat people so kindly?

"Mom! She really is like a sister!" Jiang Mingyuan had to insist under Zhao Da Nainai’s teasing gaze, "She’s still young and doesn’t understand these things yet!"

Zhao Da Nainai laughed again, "Well, that’s true! Actually, I asked her that day, and that child really doesn’t have finding a partner on her mind! So let’s just wait and see, life is long and we’ll find out in due course!"

What she didn’t say was, she was afraid the two kids might not have that kind of fate between them!

"Mom! I need to go to the bathroom!" Using the need for a toilet visit as an excuse, Jiang Mingyuan escaped to the neighbor’s house to hide.

Others were also talking about Lin Xia.

Sister He went to Tao Da Nainai’s house, animatedly gossiping about how the Lin siblings had beaten someone up.

But Tao Da Nainai scolded her until she left in a huff.

Because of the side work she did, Tao Da Nainai had earned quite a bit.

Thus, she was very grateful to Lin Xia and decided that she would be even more dedicated when teaching Lin Qiu in the future.

As for the things her niece He Xiufeng told her at home, she didn’t take them to heart at all.

Having interacted with the Lin sisters for so long, how could she not know what kind of people they were?
