Many people did not say anything on the surface because of the friendship between the villagers, but they were secretly uncomfortable in their hearts.
Now that they were pointed out by a child, everyone immediately joined forces to face a common enemy. One after another, they started to criticize them.
“Their families are always like this.” This person teased.
“Sigh, how thick is their skin? They hide their treasures and go to someone else’s house to freeload food and drink.”
…
It was one thing for Lin Yiwei to criticize him, but all the villagers who came here were mocking and looking down on him. Lin Laoliu could no longer keep his face. He glared fiercely at Lin yuelan and snorted at her, ” Hmph!” Then, he left dejectedly.
He really didn’t have the face to stay and listen to these villagers mock and despise him.
Lin Laoliu’s departure wasn’t a big deal to the people here. On the contrary, they felt that it was better for Lin Laoliu to leave. It would prevent him from thoroughly offending Lin yuelan.
Human nature pursued its own interests.
In the face of benefits, any unpleasantness or discomfort could be put aside, and an alliance could be formed.
Lin Changfeng from the Lin family Village looked at the threshing machine and suppressed his excitement. He rubbed his hands together and asked shyly, “Little girl, your threshing machine looks really good. Can you lend it to me? Oh, no, I’ll rent it. Is that okay?”
At this moment, their hearts lit up, and they immediately looked at Lin yuelan with hope. Of course, they hoped that Lin yuelan would agree.
Even Lin Yiwei’s heart skipped a beat when he heard about renting a threshing machine.
However…
Lin yuelan shook her head and said, “No!”
Hearing Lin yuelan’s refusal, everyone’s heart, including Lin Yiwei’s sank. They were secretly disappointed.
The purpose of this threshing machine had already been shown. Of course, he also hoped that his family members would not be so tired. Most importantly, it harvested quickly. This way, it would prevent the harvested rice from sprouting and molding because they did not have time to grind it down.
Therefore, everyone’s interest in the threshing machine was inevitable.
When Lin yuelan said she won’t borrow or rent the machine, they were disappointed.
“However, I can make another one!” Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, Lin yuelan immediately said.
Everyone’s disappointed eyes lit up again.
However, what was the meaning of that?
Lin Yiwei was the chief and had the best relationship with Lin yuelan. He asked, ” girl, what do you mean? ”
Lin yuelan said, ” I’ll build a new threshing machine and sell it to you, Grandpa village chief. Then, you’ll rent it out to everyone. Whoever wants to use it can rent it from you. What do you think? ”
Her current threshing machine was not to be lent out or rented. She hated it when others touched her things.
Lin Yiwei immediately reacted and nodded excitedly, ” yes, yes, of course!”
When the Lin family villagers heard that Lin yuelan was going to make a new one and sell it to Lin Yiwei, they were all excited.
It was better to rent a threshing machine from Lizheng than to rent one from Lin yuelan. After all, they were still somewhat afraid of Lin yuelan.
“Miss Lin, how much is this threshing machine?” Zhou Shu from the Zhou Family Village immediately asked.
The Lin family Village had a threshing machine, but they couldn’t rent one from the Lin family Village. The best way was to have one in the Zhou Family Village.
“Thirty taels!” Lin yuelan said.
When they heard 30 taels, they all gasped. That was too expensive!
“That’s too expensive! Thirty taels are enough to buy a cow!” Immediately, people began to discuss.
Although the threshing machine was fast, she couldn’t ask for such a high price.
Zhou Shu furrowed his brows and pondered for a while before saying, ” this is a little too expensive!”
Lin yuelan looked at everyone’s expressions and knew that no one would accept such a price. After all, to them, 30 taels could buy a small cow, two mu of high-grade land, three mu of medium-grade land, and six mu of low-grade land. If they had to pay for these 30 taels, they would rather work hard and rub the grains with their hands.
