Chapter 348 The aftermath
Lin Ge smiled without saying anything, just waiting, until the sound of a tricycle was heard outside, the smile on Lin Ge's lips became deeper and deeper.
"The person I'm looking for is here. Since Uncle Lin said he doesn't want my storage fee, I will take all these cloths and silk threads away." After saying that, Lin Ge waved his hand, and Cheng Lu and the mute came over and moved the cloth onto the tricycle.
The village chief had never expected that his mute, who was usually useless, would be called over by Lin Ge. He had originally expected that these cloths would fall into his hands, but he had never expected such a mistake would occur!
Village Chief Lin immediately became furious: "You can't touch it, this is to be used for embroidery in our village, you can't take it away!"
Village Chief Lin was about to stop him, but Lin Ge stood in front of him and said, "Uncle Lin, don't go back on your words."
But at this moment, Cheng Lu suddenly ran to her side and said, "Sister Xiaoge, it's bad, my dad and the others have found me!"
"We were just loading the cloth when they saw us. We have to move the goods quickly, otherwise we might get robbed in the end."
Sure enough, before the mute and his companions finished loading the goods, the villagers were called over by Village Chief Lin: "Fellow villagers! This is what I bought for our villagers, and it's going to be snatched away by this city dweller today!"
"Old Cheng, your daughter is running away with this city guy. Doesn't your little Cheng want to get married? You must not let her run away again!"
Village chief Lin's few words stirred up the villagers' emotions, and they rushed forward to grab the cloth.
However, when several people saw the mute, they did not dare to take action.
Village Chief Lin was still wondering why everyone was standing there in a daze. He looked at the mute and found that he had a knife on him. The mute was holding the knife and pointing it at the people.
For a moment, no one dared to act rashly.
"Uncle, I'm Xiaoge. Don't you want to find a wife for your brother? Don't worry, help me move these things away first. Anyone who dares to stop me is just trying to get money."
"I originally wanted to bring money to Anhe Village, but how did the village chief treat us? I gave him 2,000 yuan, and all I got was these pieces of cloth!"
"I wanted to make money for our village, but what about the village chief? He actually wanted to take all my money! Folks, don't let the village chief cheat you again."
“I really want to help you make money!”
Lin Ge's words really stunned the villagers. They looked at each other, not knowing who to believe.
"I also paid for you to buy the cloth. I believe you all have some money in your hands, but you probably don't know that I gave money to the village chief. Otherwise, where did all the cloth come from?"
When Father Cheng heard that Lin Ge had made a fortune in the city and was going to help Cheng Lu make money, his eyes lit up. It was much easier to make money in the city than in the countryside. If he ran out of money in the future, he could go to the city and ask Cheng Lu for money!
I haven't even been to the city yet, and Lin Ge called me uncle, so I guess Lin Ge still recognizes me.
Thinking of this, Father Cheng had his own thoughts in mind and stood in front of others.
"Fellow villagers, this old Deng is preventing us from making money! He is alone and yet he wants to accept our ten-dollar registration fee. This black-hearted village chief, let's remove him today!"
When everyone heard about making money, they all shared a common hatred and glared at the village chief: "Village chief, we didn't expect that our way of making money would be cut off by you!"
"Xiao Ge obviously has good intentions and wants to help us make money, so why are you pushing us into the fire pit?" Village Chief Lin did not expect that Lin Ge would actually backstab him. With just a little incitement, all the villagers spoke on her side. Seeing that the truth was about to be revealed, Village Chief Lin could only watch Lin Ge take all these things away.
After this incident, many people chose to follow Lin Ge. They followed Lin Ge for as many miles as the mute's car drove.
"Xiao Ge, we were just joking about the way to make money you mentioned. You know, there are too few people in our village who can embroider, and we really can't afford the ten yuan registration fee."
"The village chief lied to you. I only asked for a two-dollar registration fee to prevent people with bad intentions. I originally wanted to help you make a lot of money, but you guys didn't live up to your expectations. Who can you blame?"
Lin Ge had a look of indifference.
"Xiao Ge, you can't say that. The village chief didn't make it clear, and we naturally don't understand the twists and turns involved. How about this, you hand this matter over to someone you trust, and then we can make money, right?"
"I think other people are not trustworthy, but Cheng Cheng must be the best candidate!" While flattering Lin Ge, Cheng's father pushed Cheng Lu out.
Cheng Lu shook his head desperately, but Lin Ge felt that what Cheng's father said made sense.
"Cheng Cheng, look..."
"Sister Xiaoge, I'm scared." Cheng Lu looked at Cheng's father with fear in his eyes.
"Don't worry, as long as you can make money for them, they won't do anything to you. After all, they still need you as their cash cow to make money for them." Lin Ge curled the corners of his mouth and whispered softly in Cheng Lu's ear.
Cheng Lu's eyes widened: "Really...really?"
Lin Ge nodded: "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can just call them."
"Dad, will you and brother listen to me? Sister Xiaoge gives me ten dollars a month! If you listen to me, I will give you the ten dollars."
In fact, Cheng Lu also concealed her income from Cheng's father. After all, this was an agreement between her and Lin Ge that she should save part of the money she earned.
When Cheng's father heard this, he could earn ten yuan without any effort, so how could he not agree? He nodded repeatedly.
"Cheng Cheng, don't ask dad to listen to you. Even if you ask dad to beat your brother up, dad is willing to do it!" As he said that, Dad Cheng actually gave Cheng a slap on the head.
Xiao Cheng covered his head and cried repeatedly, as if his life was in danger. But for the sake of the ten dollars, he could only force out a smile: "Dad, you beat me well!"
Seeing that the two people who had taken their anger out on him were now wagging their tails and begging for mercy in front of him like lapdogs, Cheng Lu couldn't help but feel a sense of revenge.
"Sister Xiaoge, I am willing to take on this responsibility, but I hope that Brother Mute can make money with us in the future! After all, Brother Mute has a tricycle, which can save us a lot of time!"
As he spoke, Cheng Lu cast his hopeful gaze on the mute.
