Chapter 822
Lin Lan looked at the team leader, “Leader, isn’t there a carpenter who specialises in making coffins around the Xue Family River? I think it wouldn’t be too hard to collect a little bit of wood together to make one.”
The family was truly pitiful and since they were all from the same village, it would be best to get help from any and all sources they could find.
The Brigade Leader called in a few people to see if Liu Erhu’s family had any suitable wood. If not, he would get Wu Caixian’s consent to dismantle the two doors, add some messy boards and make a thin coffin.
Wu Caixian hurried to get the money so that she could ask them to help her with the coffin issue. After that, she thanked Lin Lan very sincerely.
If Lin Lan hadn’t stepped in, others would have just watched the fun and would never say anything about it. Even the brigade cadres wouldn’t care and she guessed that by now, the things in the house would have been emptied. In two days, she and her children would have no food to eat. Then, she would have to find a way to remarry or commit herself to Liu Wenhu, that bastard.
Although she was cowardly, she was not stupid. She knew that it was Lin Lan who took the initiative to speak up, causing everyone else to respond to her and also led to the brigade cadres supporting her.
Wu Caixian knew that once the brigade provided their support, she would have hoped to protect her family and raise her children until they were mature.
“Thank you, Captain Lin,” Lin Lan was now the leader of the Propaganda Team. Adults called her the captain whereas the children liked to call her Teacher Lin.
Lin Lan, “We are from the same village, so it is only right for us to help each other.”
She did not want to stay any longer. Seeing that the brigade cadres came forward to support her, she thought that others would not dare to bully the family again. Hence, she started to head back home.
