Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 109 The winter was so cold back then!

After receiving the two hundred taels of silver and dealing with the He clan leader and the old Taoist priest who came to cause trouble, Lin Xin was in a very happy mood. She prepared a table of delicious food that day and satisfied everyone.

Back home, Gao Yong was still savoring the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. He turned to look at Mo Ziyuan and said, "Ziyuan, Miss Lin was bullied like this, and you just stood there and did nothing?"

Mo Ziyuan turned his head and stared at him with his dark eyes. "What do you think?"

Gao Yong slapped his thigh. "That old bastard got beaten up by Miss Lin last time, but he turned around and asked a Taoist priest to take her down. What can he do now that he's suffered such a huge loss? Who knows what evil plans he might have! I think Miss Lin is too soft-hearted. She was too lenient. People like that need to be beaten up hard and thoroughly, so that they can never get up again!"

Chu Yu also came over and said, "I'm on Brother Yong's side this time. I don't think those Taoist priests will come again. But the He clan leader lives in the village, so you never know when he might come out and cause trouble. Miss Lin isn't afraid of him, but she finds him annoying!"

"Look, I told you! I'm not the only one who can't stand it." Gao Yong put his arm around Chu Yu's shoulder and spoke to him in a friendly manner.

"What are you going to do? After what happened today, something bad will happen at the He clan leader's house tomorrow. Anyone would think of Miss Lin! Do you want to help her vent her anger or bring trouble to her?" Mo Ziyuan said unhappily.

"This..." Gao Yong thought about it and realized that it made sense. He shrank his neck and muttered unconvincedly, "So, is this matter over?"

"That's definitely not possible," Mo Ziyuan said, clearing his throat with a dry cough. "Let's keep a close eye on his family and see if he tries to do anything bad again. If he shows any signs, we can just take action and put an end to it."

"This is the only way," Gao Yong sighed, "It's really boring to stay here all day. I really need to find something to do."

So, without Lin Xin knowing, Mo Ziyuan and the others had already started keeping an eye on the He clan leader's family. Whenever he came up with any idea to deal with Lin Xin, something would surely happen at home the next day. Sometimes the pigs at home died inexplicably, and sometimes people broke their legs while climbing the mountain. Everyone said that it was retribution because their family bullied other people's girls and angered Lin Lao Er.

After a few interactions, the He clan leader finally became obedient. He had no choice but to be obedient. His two sons threatened him that if he provoked Lin Xin again, they would move out of the village. Who could stand being hurt every now and then?
After this incident, Lin Xin finally found peace.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was New Year's Day.

Lin Xin had long ago prepared a lot of snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and candied fruits. In the end times, life was precarious and it was difficult to have enough to eat. No one was in the mood to celebrate the New Year. Now that she had finally arrived at a time and space without zombies and with clean air, she naturally wanted to make up for what she had missed. After all, she had money.

Mo Ziyuan also gave her a lot of cakes that were not available here, all of which were brought back from the capital. One of them was lotus seed cake, which Lin Xin liked very much. Sometimes she even replaced her dinner with lotus seed cake.

Lin Nan lodged a solemn protest, and Lin Tao waved his hands and shouted, "Eat, eat, eat."

Helpless Lin Xin had to give up her favorite food and go back to her normal three meals a day.

Lin Xin spent this New Year at Mo Ziyuan's home with Lin Nan and Lin Tao. Since the end of the world, she has never had such a lively New Year!
Moreover, even before the end of the world, modern people did not have as many particularities in celebrating the New Year as the ancients did, so she had broadened her horizons.

The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at separate tables. Lin Xin, Lin Nan, Lin Tao, Cui Shi and Meng Yichen sat at one table, while Gao Yong and his friends sat at another. In Cui Shi's words, if he ate with them, he would probably have to crawl under the table before he could take a few bites.

At first, Lin Xin didn't understand, but once they started eating, she realized: Gao Yong and the others weren't really eating; they were clearly drinking wine, emptying seven or eight jars of wine while barely touching the food. A poor drinker would have slipped under the table after just a few bites. Lin Xin and the others weren't big eaters, and they didn't drink much either, so they finished quickly. After clearing the table and setting out fruits, snacks, candies, and preserves, they prepared to cook dumplings and stay up all night. Presumably, the party wasn't over any time soon, as Lin Nan, the elementary school god, dragged Meng Yichen off to memorize his lessons.

Cui Shi was not willing to be outdone and followed him happily.

Lin Tao was a little sleepy after eating, so he curled up in Lin Xin's arms with his eyes squinted. He occasionally glanced over when he heard the sound of drinking over there, but he was quite obedient.

The drinking over there continued until they finished eating dumplings. No matter how good a drinker was, they couldn't handle such a high level of drinking. Everyone was drunk and staggering, unable to walk. In the end, Lin Xin carried them and Meng Yichen supported them from the side, taking them back to the house one by one.

"Miss Lin, you've worked hard. Go back and rest early!" After seeing off the last Mo Ziyuan, Meng Yichen said to Lin Xin at the door.

"I see." Lin Xin looked at him and smiled. "Mr. Meng, Happy New Year!"

Meng Yichen's body trembled, and he looked up at Lin Xin's bright smile, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He nodded and bowed, saying, "Miss Lin, Happy New Year!"

The two separated at the door of Mo Ziyuan's room, one to the left and the other to the right.

They didn't know that Mo Ziyuan had been standing behind the door next to them. He waited until they separated and returned to their rooms before he let out a long sigh and lay back on the kang in a daze. After a while, he buried his face in the quilt and laughed foolishly.

In the middle of the night, the biting north wind was blowing, and small snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and then turned into large snowflakes like cotton wool. By dawn, the snow in the yard was already a foot thick, completely covering Lin Xin's calves.

"Ms. Lin, it's snowing so heavily that the roads outside are not easy to walk on. You should stay here for a few days!" Mo Ziyuan walked over and said to Lin Xin who was holding out her hand to catch the snow.

Lin Xin thought about it. She had put everything she needed to put into the space before coming here, and the rest were just some rice and flour, so she nodded in agreement.

A gust of north wind blew by, and snowflakes mixed in the snow flew all over their heads and faces. The cold touch made Lin Xin shiver uncontrollably.

There was a period of extremely cold weather at the beginning of the apocalypse. At that time, her supernatural powers were still very weak and were not enough to fight against the bad weather. Fortunately, she was in a resort at the time, and she burned almost everything that could be burned and barely survived.

"Miss Lin?" Someone touched her arm, and she realized she had been distracted. She wiped the snow that had melted into water from her face and looked at Mo Ziyuan: "What's wrong?"

"What were you thinking about just now?" Mo Ziyuan asked a little uneasily. At that moment, he always felt that Lin Xin had become particularly unreal, as if she no longer belonged to this world and would be blown away by the wind.

"Nothing," Lin Xin smiled, "I just thought about the old days. The winters back then were so cold!" She glanced at the gray-blue sky again and murmured.
