The village is clean and tidy with modern facilities.

The little girl’s home is at the west end of the village.

The family also lives in a two-story building.

"Mom, I'm back!"

The little girl ran into the house,

Go straight to the kitchen on the first floor.

Lin Qi stood in the living room on the first floor,

First put down the bucket full of fish and look around.

Wooden dining table, wooden chairs, and a wooden sofa,

There is a posthumous photo on the cabinet in the corner. The middle-aged man in the photo has a simple and friendly smile.

He is the little girl's father.

Lin Qi cannot feel the presence of ghosts,

The man has been dead for a long time.

the other side,

The little girl pulled the woman in an apron out,

"Look! He is the big brother I mentioned. He catches all the fish!"

The woman saw Lin Qi,

He wiped his hands awkwardly on his apron and held down the chattering little girl.

"I'm sorry, children are ignorant," the woman pointed at the fish, "How much are these fish? I'll get the money for you."

The little girl quickly said: "Big brother is very good at fishing. The fish will jump up on their own. You really don't need to pay!"

The woman glared at the little girl and said,

I just thought that children were talking nonsense,

Can a fish be stupid enough to jump up and deliver it to someone?

With so much fish, you can make a lot of money by selling them.

The woman thinks Lin Qi is a nice person.

But they can't take advantage of people.

Lin Qi also waved his hand: "It's just a few fish, it's nothing."

Lin Qi said it sincerely,

Next time if you want, it’s not impossible to just put the bucket to the lakeside and wait for the fish to jump in.

But Lin Qi’s words fell into the ears of the woman,

That means looking down on this little money.

Quietly looking at Lin Qi's clothes,

The woman hesitated.

He tentatively suggested: "Why don't you stay for a meal? My fish is pretty good."

The little girl's eyes lit up and she shouted for Lin Qi to stay for dinner.

Lin Qi readily agreed,

Of course he would be happy to have a free meal.

The woman quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel that a meal is worth a bucket of fish, which is not too much of an advantage.

Thinking that there are so many fish, you can eat many meals.

Finally a smile appeared on the woman's face,

"Then I'll do it now. You sit down first." The woman turned to the little girl and told the little girl, "You play with your big brother in the living room."

The little girl nodded sensibly.

...

The woman cooked a braised fish dish, a fish soup, and three vegetarian dishes to complete the table.

"Go and ask your grandparents to come for dinner." The woman finished serving the last dish.

The little girl ran up to the second floor in a hurry.

The woman took off her apron,

While setting the dishes and chopsticks, I chatted casually with Lin Qi.

"I take it you are not from here, are you?"

Lin Qi took the bowl and nodded: "My family is here on a business trip, and I'm here to have fun."

The woman said "Oh", but she didn't expect that what Lin Qi said was a casual "family business trip" was actually an inspection by the boss.

"There's nothing interesting nearby, it's all mountains..." The woman sat down on the chair, "What should I call you?"

Lin Qi: "Just call me Xiao Lin."

Woman: "Xiao Lin, right? You can call me Mrs. Chen."

"Sister-in-law Chen!"

As soon as Sister-in-law Chen finished speaking,

A male voice came from outside,

"Hey, are you getting ready for dinner?"

Arrive before anyone arrives,

Lin Qi turned around,

I saw a tall man in his early thirties, with a square and dark face, walking in casually.

Behind the man were two men about the same age as him.

"Do you have guests today?" The man noticed Lin Qi at the table.

Sister-in-law Chen's expression changed.

stand up,

Intentionally or unintentionally, he walked forward and blocked Lin Qi.

"Yang Kuan, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Chen said calmly, with disgust and vigilance in her tone.

The man named Yang Kuan withdrew his gaze from Lin Qi.

It was just a casual question.

Seeing that Lin Qi was young and fair and thin, he didn't take it to heart.

After hearing what Mrs. Chen said,

Yang Kuan pulled the corners of his mouth into a sly smile,

"It's not because you are very busy every day and don't come to sign, so I have to go there in person. After you finish signing, we can hand over the things."

Yang Kuan stretched out his hand,

Hook your fingers,

Behind him, a man as thin as a monkey quickly put a piece of paper into Yang Kuan's hand.

Yang Kuan pressed the paper onto the table.

"Sister-in-law Chen, you can't delay important events for the whole village." Yang Kuan said in a threatening tone.

Mrs. Chen's face turned red and white.

Lin Qi glanced at the content written on the paper,

It was basically an accusation that there were safety issues in the development work of the raw material factory, which resulted in many injuries in the village. If the factory did not give an explanation that satisfied everyone, the village would continue to strike.

Below are signatures and fingerprints.

Are you trying to unite the whole village to put pressure on the factory?

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows,

With the mentality of watching the fun,

Silent.

did not expect,

But Sister-in-law Chen stiffened her neck and slapped Yang Kuan back hard:

"I can't sign it, you just want to extort money! Isn't it unconscionable to sign this thing?"

Sister-in-law Chen pointed to the words "safety issues" written above.

Lin Qi glanced at Mrs. Chen unexpectedly.
