Chapter 56: Here to make trouble
"One for fifty taels, one for twenty taels, and one for thirty taels, a total of one hundred taels." Lin Jianshan took out three silver notes and said, "I'll give them to you when I see my son."
"What are you saying? I'm not a kidnapper asking for ransom." Shang Wan dug a hole in the wood with a chisel, hammering away as he spoke, "The Chen family's fifty taels is compensation for bullying Yuanyuan, and your family's eighty taels is compensation for wrongly accusing our family."
She glanced at the banknotes in Lin Jianshan's hand and said, "The total compensation for the two families is one hundred and thirty taels. If you don't know how to calculate, ask my husband for help. I won't charge you any money."
"Don't push yourself too far!"
"Who is pushing it too far? You should be sincere when you apologize. Your attitude is like you are trying to extort money from me. It's disgusting. Either pay the full amount or don't come." Shang Wan shouted, "Xiao Huan, get out!"
Xiaohuan came out holding a kitchen knife with blood on the blade.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't mean to kill anyone, she was just killing a fish and just took it out.
Lin Jianshan tried to hold back but couldn't help it, and cursed with a sullen face: "Shang, don't go too far, Tiedan still has 30 taels of silver, a total of 130 taels, you won't lose anything!"
"What does Tiedan's money have to do with my sister? Are you trying to frame me again?" Xiaohuan raised the kitchen knife and glared at Lin Jianshan, "Go away quickly, you are not welcome in my house!"
Lin Jianshan's face turned pale and blue, which was very clear in the night.
Behind a tree in the distance, Luo Er and Zhang Da, who were begged by Lin Jianshan to come, were angrily pulling out the weeds on the ground.
He said he wanted them to see the true colors of the scholar and his wife, but it turned out to be another frame-up. They would never believe Lin Jianshan's words again.
The two men threw away the grass leaves, crouched down and left quietly.
Shang Wan curled the corners of her lips slightly. The Lin family really wasn't giving up. Did they think she wouldn't know just because they were far away?
Thinking of the two people hiding in the dark, Lin Jianshan became secretly anxious. Relying on the fact that Xiaohuan didn't dare to really chop him, he deliberately provoked Shang Wan and led him to let the cat out of the bag.
Unfortunately, Shang Wan ignored him completely. Xiaohuan became even more impatient. She put down the knife, picked up a wooden stick and swung it at Lin Jianshan. If she couldn't cut him, she could hit him.
Lin Jianshan dodged narrowly and was about to curse when he heard the soft babbling of a baby behind him.
He looked back and saw Yuanyuan lying on the wooden board, touching the turtle shell with her little hands and talking to the little turtle.
A dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he ran a few steps and picked up Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan was suddenly picked up:?
The little girl looked at the annoying uncle who was holding her with disdain, and tried to get off with her short legs. How could Lin Jianshan let her go?
When Shang Wan looked over here, Lin Jianshan had a smug look on his face, thinking he had found Shang Wan's weak spot. Just as he was about to threaten him, his body suddenly stiffened and he looked down hesitantly.
Little Yuanyuan was frowning on his chubby face unhappily, and a little foot was kicking him in the stomach.
He is clearly just a one-year-old child, how could he have so much strength?
Lin Jianshan widened his eyes in surprise, "You..."
Yuanyuan kicked him in the stomach again, "Fang! Get off!"
She doesn't hate being hugged by her uncle.
After two consecutive heavy blows, Lin Jianshan's back bent in pain and the strength in his hands loosened.
Yuanyuan fell straight down, and the little guy was so scared that he flapped his arms and shouted, "Mom! Help!!"
Shang Wan shook his body and caught the person.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan hugged her mother like an octopus and rubbed against her. She pointed her little hand at Lin Jianshan, who was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his belly, and immediately complained, "Bad! Bad!"
Shang Wan: You haven’t finished speaking yet, but you are quite good at making complaints.
She patted her cub soothingly and looked down at Lin Jianshan, "The two people you brought with you left long ago. No matter how pitiful you act, they can't see it."
Doesn't she know how strong Yuanyuan is now? She's trying to scam me, haha!
Lin Jianshan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked up at Shang Wan, "You know everything?"
"I don't have time to play these little tricks with you." Shang Wan glared at him coldly, "We moved to the village just to live a good life, but you have been causing trouble again and again. You don't want to bear the consequences after the truth is revealed. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"
Lin Jianshan was silent for a long time, then he propped himself up and stood up. He took out four silver bills and handed them to Shang Wan, "A total of one hundred and thirty taels. Please count them."
He prepared enough silver, but he was still resentful, so he called Luo Er and Zhang Da to expose Shang Wan's true identity, but he didn't expect that Shang Wan still found out.
Xiao Huan took the banknote and looked at it carefully in the candlelight before nodding to Shang Wan, "The banknote is fine."
"I've already given you the money." Lin Jianshan's spirit weakened, and he looked at Shang Wan with a pleading look in his eyes, "When will Tiedan come back?"
"Children love to play, and they will naturally go home when they have had enough."
Shang Wan was telling the truth, Tiedan really did play in the wolf’s den for a whole day.
At first the child was afraid, but later when he saw that the wolf didn't bite him but just didn't allow him to run around, he started to play with the wolf cub with confidence and waited for his family to come and find him.
After it got dark, he cried because he was afraid of the dark. Later, when he saw that no wolves paid attention to him, he stopped crying. Now he is sleeping in the wolf den and snoring.
Lin Jianshan thought Shang Wan was still unwilling to let him go.
Shang Wan rolled his eyes at the sky and threw him out, and reminded Xiao Huan that the food in the pot was about to get burnt.
Xiaohuan screamed and ran to save her vegetables.
Yuanyuan was clamoring to listen to a story, so Shang Wan took her to Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing took a small seal for Yuanyuan to play with, and called Shang Wan, "Why don't you ask Lin Jianshan about the jade pendant?"
"You've already guessed it, why am I asking?"
Lu Chengjing was startled and looked at Shang Wan's back, "You..."
"You don't have to say it if you don't want to." Shang Wan said this and continued to tinker with the wood.
Lu Chengjing pursed his pale lips, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids.
"Daddy." Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand and tugged at her father's collar.
Lu Chengjing lowered his head and leaned closer, and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
"Snap!" Yuanyuan held the seal and stamped it on her father's handsome face, leaving a square, light black mark.
Lu Chengjing:?
The little guy stared at his father with his big eyes, "Mom! Look!"
Lu Chengjing was stunned, "You want me to show your mother the black mark on my face?"
Yuanyuan held the seal and nodded her head vigorously.
"why?"
"Smile!" Yuanyuan curved her eyes and showed two tiny teeth. She pointed her little finger at herself and then at Shang Wan who was not far away.
Lu Chengjing looked at the little guy in surprise. A one-year-old kid already knows how to make people happy?
"Hurry!" Yuanyuan patted her father's arm and urged him.
"Mom is busy." Lu Chengjing raised his hand and rubbed his daughter's head. "Can you show it to mom later?"
The little baby tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement reluctantly. The price he paid was that Lu Chengjing was stamped five more times.
