Chapter 237 Public Outrage
Everyone felt discouraged and thought that if they hadn't been slow to think and had asked Li Luo to pay for the cow, this opportunity might have fallen on them.
"Sisters-in-law and aunts, if you don't want my eldest brother and uncles to work for us, I can let them all come back. We don't lack those few people."
Ling Zhuoqun's words made those sisters-in-law and aunts shudder.
But they cannot control their men. If Ling Zhuoqun really fires the men, then their family will be left with nothing.
Not only that, their men would beat them and scold them for being more of a hindrance than a help.
"Brother Ling, do you really want to be so heartless?" Seeing that everyone started to turn against Li Luo, Xin Lu bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry.
"Brother Ling, I thought you would care about the villagers and seek their welfare. I didn't expect you to be so heartless and want to cut off their financial resources. Your factory will not last long." Xin Lu yelled.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the women glared at Xin Lu fiercely. Originally, Ling Zhuoqun and Li Luo had already planned not to pursue the matter, but Xin Lu's words at this time undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
If these two big Buddhas of the Ling family get angry again, they will never forgive Xin Lu!
Xin Lu still hasn't figured out the situation. She is clearly doing this for the good of these villagers, so why is everyone not on her side?
"In that case, let me say what I said again. Director Xin has a high level of ideological awareness and does not want the children in Wanlong Village to not grow up, so he paid out of his own pocket to buy milk for all the children in the village. Let us thank Director Xin."
As soon as Li Luo said this, everyone began to agree: "Thank you, Director Xin, for thinking about the children. You are worthy of being a kind person in our village!"
Xin Lu was almost angry to death, but she had already been brought here. If she didn't handle the situation well this time, her reputation among the people would definitely get worse. If someone came to inspect, it was inevitable that someone would say bad things about her.
"I've spent all this money! Tomorrow I'll ask the village chief to count how many children in our village need milk, and give each of them a bottle of milk. But I think the Ling family's milk won't be used, after all, they don't like the milk I buy."
"I didn't say that, but since Miss Xin Lu won't give it to us, we don't care." Li Luo raised his eyebrows. No matter what Xin Lu said, Li Luo had a way to deal with it.
Now, Xin Lu was completely helpless against Li Luo. Seeing that Xin Lu had solved the problem, the other women didn't want to stay here and offend Li Luo anymore.
"Brother Ling, look, Li Luo has ruined the reputation of the Ling family. How can you tolerate her like this?" Seeing that everyone had left her, Xin Lu complained to Ling Zhuoqun aggrievedly.
During this period, he was about to stretch out his arms to hug Ling Zhuoqun, but unexpectedly, Ling Zhuoqun dodged flexibly.
"Don't be like this, Xin Lu. I don't think my wife did anything wrong, and you let so many people blame my wife. You are no longer a qualified women's director. You are a woman yourself, so why would you embarrass a woman?"
Ling Zhuoqun's words stumped Xin Lu, but she had Ling Zhuoqun in her heart all the time. As long as she could drive Li Luo out of the village, she was confident that she could win back Ling Zhuoqun's heart.
"But Li Luo is not from Wanlong Village, and he doesn't support Wanlong Village. What I said is not wrong." Xin Lu continued to insist.
"So what you said means that all women who marry into Wanlong Village have to pay something to be recognized as Wanlong Village people? Xinlu, aren't you afraid that I will tell this to others and you will be besieged by people from other villages?"
Xin Lu panicked all of a sudden. Ling Zhuoqun's words obviously had a deterrent effect on her. "Think about it carefully. If I see you bullying Luo Luo again, you won't have to stay in Wanlong Village anymore." Ling Zhuoqun's words became even colder.
"I am from Wanlong Village, you have no right to drive me away!" Xin Lu said hysterically.
"Ms. Xin Lu, I have no grudge against you, but you are targeting me in everything. Do you want to drive me away, or are you thinking about Brother Ling?"
Seeing her purpose being exposed, Xin Lu could no longer utter any words to refute.
"Just give up on this idea. If you join forces with others to drive Li Luo away, I will definitely take Luo Luo with me, and I will also move the farm together. By then, you, Xin Lu, will become the target of public criticism."
Ling Zhuoqun's words were the final judgment on Xin Lu. Xin Lu's face turned pale all of a sudden. Now, she really could not compete with Li Luo anymore.
Xin Lu sneered twice and looked at Li Luo with cold eyes: "Mr. Li, what kind of drug did you give Brother Ling? It's obvious that when you were not around, Brother Ling always cared about the village."
"But after you came, everything changed. Brother Ling no longer cared about anything except you. This time, he even went against the villagers to protect you."
"I think you are just a witch!" Xin Lu went completely crazy and kept calling Li Luo "witch" and left in a daze.
When Wang Xiumei saw Xin Lu's distraught look, she couldn't help but step forward and ask a few words of concern: "Lulu, what's wrong with you?"
"Li Luo, the witch."
When Wang Xiumei saw this, she immediately called out to her son, "Tieshuan, look at your sister Lulu. What's going on? Do you want to find a Taoist priest to take a look? I think she's been possessed by evil spirits."
When Li Tieshuan saw that the girl he liked had turned into this, he looked towards the Ling family and said, "Li Luo, you were lucky last time, but you ran away. You won't be so lucky next time!"
Originally, Li Tieshuan still had feelings for Li Luo, but after spending a long time with Xin Lu, he found that Xin Lu was a girl who deserved to be pitied. He was willing to fulfill Xin Lu's wish and make her the happiest woman in the world.
It's because Xin Lu is completely different from other women. She is pure and kind, and will care about him when he is hurt. Even his own family couldn't see him getting hurt, but Xin Lu saw it and handed him a Band-Aid.
It was this Band-Aid that completely filled Li Tieshuan's empty heart, and he would complete whatever Xin Lu wanted him to do.
Just like the last time when he followed Li Luo, if Ling Zhuoqun hadn't suddenly appeared, Li Luo would have been kidnapped by him.
Ever since Li Luo told other people about her clothing store business, she would receive smiling faces and proactive greetings from other people every time she was in the village.
Finally, someone mustered up the courage to ask Li Luo: "Luoluo, do you think we still have a chance to work in your clothing store? Look, I have a good image and experience in selling things, so I am definitely better than Liu's sister-in-law."
Only then did Li Luo understand that everyone's kindness during this period had a purpose, because they had value in him.
