Chapter 55: The tree attracts the wind
In less than ten minutes, Lin Zhenghua walked into the yard with a smile on his face, holding a contract in his hand. Lin Dong took it and saw that the signature and seal were all included. The contract was the same as the one he had just read. He nodded and returned the contract to his father, and said with a smile: "Don't you feel at ease now?"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lin Zhenghua said with a smile: "I'm really relieved this time!"
"If it weren't for Xiaodong, you would have been deceived and kept in the dark now!" He Yuying scolded him, "It will be beneficial to listen to your son more in the future!"
Lin Zhenghua surprised not to refute, nodded and said, "That's right, this time it's really thanks to Xiaodong. If you have any merits, you will be rewarded. Xiaodong, what do you want? I remember you have to use a computer when you go to college, right? Dad will buy you a computer tomorrow!"
Lin Dong shook his head: "I learned some treasure appraisal skills at school, and I made some money by picking up bargains. You can keep the money at home. I will use it in the spring of next year!"
Lin Dong's words made Lin Zhenghua and He Yuying look at each other, and both of them noticed the surprise and guilt in each other's eyes. As parents, they could not let their son go to school without worrying about food and clothing. In their opinion, it was their parents' negligence.
Lin Dong knew what they were thinking when he saw his parents' expressions. He smiled and held Lin Zhenghua with one hand and said, "Dad, mom, our family is coming, so you should be happy. I am so old, you don't think about letting me rely on my parents, right?"
"What's wrong with dependents?" He Yuying said naturally: "As long as I can raise myself, I'm willing to dependents if you dependents!"
Listening to his mother's doting words, Lin Dong felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I won't say this anymore. Let's have a meal, I'm hungry!"
"Okay, let's have a meal!" He Yuying waved his hand, "Son, let's see what I've made for you!"
After dinner, they cleaned up briefly and the whole family sat on the sofa. Lin Zhenghua and He Yuying carefully asked about Lin Dong’s situation at school.
Because he had something in his heart, Lin Dong briefly told the school. When he heard that Lin Dong had won the first place in the knowledge competition and received a 10,000 yuan bonus, Lin Zhenghua and Lin Yuying showed a look of relief. In their opinion, even if Lin Dong earned 100,000 yuan in work, it would not be as glorious as success in his studies!
Lin Dong briefly finished the matter and asked, "Dad, how is the relationship between the villagers and our family recently?"
Lin Zhenghua didn't expect Lin Dong to ask about this, and pondered for a moment and said, "Don't you feel any difference? They are all pretty good!"
"What's good!" He Yuying already felt that her son's return this time was different from when he went to school before. She recalled and said, "In recent times, I went out to the village shop to buy things. I felt that the old men and women looked at me in the wrong way. Those who used to say hello seemed to be a lot less and didn't care much about people. Xiaodong, are you talking about this problem?"
Lin Dong nodded: "Yes! I just want to ask, have there been any rumors in the village that are not good for our family recently?"
"No way?" Lin Zhenghua was a thick line and touched his head. "Our family has never provoked others, so why would he say anything?"
Lin Dong knew that his father didn't pay much attention to this, but the things in front of him were probably not that simple. He patiently explained: "Dad, if our family doesn't provoke others, it doesn't mean that others don't provoke our family. When our family suddenly makes money, most people may not have any ideas, but some people always have bad intentions, just like what happened today. If they really succeed, will our family lose a lot?"
He Yuying nodded: "That's it! I don't know how many people make money in our family, but there are many people who want to joke about our family over the years! I remember how those people talked about us in the future!"
After He Yuying said this, Lin Zhenghua stopped talking. It was not that he knew about these situations, but men were very enthusiastic and did not take these things completely to heart. In his opinion, these are all trivial matters, such as warm and cold human relationships and cold worlds. We can’t expect others to be as good as you are to others.
However, when Lin Dong said this, he felt a little uncomfortable and said with some depression: "Our family has made money, but no one has lost. The villagers came to borrow money, but they have never refused. Why is this still happening?"
"The tree attracts wind!" Lin Dong had already thought it through and said with a smile: "Who made us turn over too quickly? Two years ago, he was the target of others' jokes, but now he has become the target of envy. Envy, jealousy and hatred are originally related!"
"What should I do?" He Yuying was a little worried, "It's not a solution anyway. We can't always be careful of others, right?"
"Don't worry!" Lin Zhenghua has always been unaware of such things, and waved his hand, "Let him go, I earn my money, whatever he likes to say! I don't believe they can steal mine?"
As soon as he heard his father's words, a blockbuster message immediately emerged in Lin Dong's mind. He was so excited that he shook his head subconsciously: "No, I definitely can't deal with it passively like this! Dad, please ask if there are any bad rumors recently?"
Lin Zhenghua hesitated for a moment, turned around and picked up the landline phone, dialed a number, and started asking.
Lin Dong took the opportunity to ask his mother: "Mom, do we have any fruits that have been sold in our family?"
"Yes!" He Yuying was wrong, thinking that Lin Dong wanted to eat, so she stood up and said as she walked, "There are still hundreds of boxes! It was your father who put it in the cellar and was about to keep it for the New Year. Do you want to eat it? I'll take it for you!"
"Don't!" Lin Dong hurriedly stopped He Yuying, "I'm just asking, and I'll talk about the results my dad asked."
Over there, Lin Zhenghua made two calls, his expression became weird. After chatting with the other party for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
Turning around to face Lin Dong and He Yuying, he said with an angry and puzzled look: "Sincerely, some people in the village are slandering us, saying that we were only procured by the village. Now that we are rich, the rest of the village cannot suffer any losses. They also say that the contract was signed too low, so they should have paid more contract fees at the beginning! Bah! At that time, the barren mountain was given to others and no one wanted it. I spent money to contract, but no one said that the contract fee was cheap!"
Lin Dong was not surprised at all. Many people were like this. They didn’t work hard, but they always hated the rich and hated the poor, and their psychology was just a dark one.
"What should I do?" He Yuying suddenly thought of the consequences and became a little worried. "They won't ruin the contract and get our mountain orchard back, right?"
"They dare!" Lin Zhenghua looked angry, "If they dare, I will sue them!"
Lin Dong thought deeply, shook his head and said, "It's okay to sue, but it will be too late. What I mean, isn't the New Year coming soon? We can't passively wait for them to come and find trouble, let's take the initiative!"
"Take the initiative?" Lin Zhenghua was already a little impressed by his son and asked, "How to take the initiative?"
Lin Dong smiled and expressed his ideas.
When Lin Zhenghua heard this, his eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"
