CHAPTER 228: THE VILLAGE CHIEF’S THOUGHTS

"Dashan, listen to me. After some time, when our family makes some money, I’ll find you a good wife. Look at how both Sanhu and Little Hu from your Third Uncle’s family are going to school. Our whole family is focusing on one goal, and in a few years, we can send Mu to study too..."

Mrs. Wang kept nagging, afraid that her son might soften and let that woman, Mrs. Wang, into the house again.

But how could she know that Lin Dashan, of course, had hopes for the future, but after the ordeal with Mrs. Wang, he truly had no interest in discussing about another wife.

After speaking, Mrs. Wang asked Lin Jing’er to keep an eye on Lin Dashan and quietly slipped out.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming out, Mrs. Wang hurriedly approached, crying and pleading, but Mrs. Wang directly grabbed her hair and dragged her away.

"Mother... I’ve really done wrong. Please give me another chance..."

No matter how Mrs. Wang cried and pleaded, Mrs. Wang remained unmoved.

At the village chief’s door, Lin Feng hurried out from inside, looked at the two women at the entrance, and said, "Sister-in-law, what’s happening here..."

"Chief, you have to help us with this. This woman did such a thing and has already been divorced, yet she keeps coming to our house causing trouble every few days. Today, when no one who minds the house was around, she shamelessly knelt at our door. Outsiders would think we bullied her..."

Our head of the family already said last time that unless the Wang Family gives up on the sausage business, Mrs. Wang cannot come back to our family.

In such matters, once a precedent is set, there will be a second time. If Mrs. Wang returns so easily, how can our family manage in the future?

Lin Feng pulled Mrs. Wang aside to ask her privately, "Sister-in-law, after the drama last time, probably everyone in the nearby villages knows about it. We are not in the wrong here. Just tell me, what is your family’s plan? Do you really not want this daughter-in-law, or do you want the Wang Family to compensate somehow?

Like they mentioned last time, the Wang Family is willing to give up the sausage business."

Mrs. Wang pouted, "They can do the sausage business if they want, but we definitely don’t dare take this daughter-in-law back."

We’re planning to make meatballs in the future, bringing a thief into the house just won’t do!

Besides, Old Three already gave the sausage recipe to the villagers, so banking on making big money from it is unlikely. Why would she still want to come back?

With this said, the village chief understood, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. You can go back now. I’ll get a couple of clan members to send their Wang Family daughter back, and have a good talk with their Clan Leader."

"Thank you, Chief. When our family head returns, we’ll invite you over for a drink another day," Mrs. Wang said politely.

"Oh, no need to be so formal, sister-in-law. Since Sanshui was willing to share the sausage recipe, many of us in the Lin Clan have earned a bit from it. Also, the recent renovations on their hillside let our entire village have a prosperous year..."

Moreover, I heard they’re planning to open a tavern. If that succeeds, they can earn quite a bit of silver in the future.

The Lin Clan has many people, but there isn’t a single wealthy person among us yet.

No matter who gets rich, they shouldn’t forget their clansmen. Even if they let a little slip through their fingers, it would be enough for others to benefit too.

Lin Feng, unlike the previous Clan Leader, wasn’t short-sighted with petty calculations; he had studied for a few years and knew well the importance of knowledge.
