Chapter 112 Don’t Consume Yourself

"Third sister!" A timid voice sounded behind the little girl, and then a pair of bony hands embraced her and touched her beaten cheek.

"Second sister." The little girl rubbed against her arms and leaned on her shoulder lovingly.

Lin Xin stood coldly at the door, watching the farce created by this family of seven.

Perhaps God couldn't stand their behavior, and small snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.

The old lady of that house couldn't help herself. She stood up and glared at Lin Xin angrily. "You little bitch, you have a house but you don't let us live in it. You just watched us die. Aren't you afraid of retribution? I'm telling you, your house is reserved for me and my family. You can't stop me for a day, but I don't believe you can stop me forever. As long as we get the chance, we'll move in. We'll see! Humph!"

"Let's go to that little bitch's house and smash her door to see what she can do to us!" After the old lady said that, she picked up a tattered bundle from the ground and walked towards Lin Xin's house.

"Our dynasty has laws. Anyone who trespasses into a private residence will be punished with eighty strokes of the cane. If the homeowner resists and dies, there's no penalty." Lin Xin's voice echoed slowly behind them. "As soon as you set foot in my house, I'll wipe out your entire family. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"You! You little bitch, I don't believe you dare to kill anyone!" The old lady paused and then shouted again.

"You'll know if I dare if you try it."

"Killing someone means paying with your life!"

"You're so uneducated! How terrible!" Lin Xin continued calmly, "Didn't you hear what I just said? If a homeowner beats someone to death while breaking into a house, there's no sin. That's the law of our dynasty."

"Impossible! How could the law say that killing someone doesn't mean you have to pay with your life?"

"I don't believe it!" Lin Xin looked up at the sky. "If you don't believe it, it's easy! You can ask someone knowledgeable. If that doesn't work, you can go to the government office and ask. If that doesn't work, you can just break down my door and let me beat you to death. Then see if the government will find me innocent."

"Puchi!" Gao Yong, who had finished his meal and ran to the back of the door to eavesdrop, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chu Yu next to him was laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking. Mo Ziyuan and Meng Yichen also had smiles on their faces.

"You! You little bitch!" The old lady was so angry that she didn't know what to say. Although she wanted to achieve her goal by making a scene, she was not bold enough to joke with her own life. Regardless of whether what Lin Xin said was true or not, she really didn't dare to knock down her door.

"Who are you calling a little bitch?" This famous joke is something that almost all time-travelling colleagues have to share, and Lin Xin naturally doesn't want to miss it.

"Of course I'm calling you a little bitch!" the old lady answered without hesitation.

"Yes, it was the little bitch who scolded me!"

"Pfft~ Hahaha~" Gao Yong couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter, holding his stomach.

In the end, the old lady's family's plan failed, and her son and grandson were beaten. She couldn't scold them, so she had to leave in frustration with a lot of anger.

"That girl Xin, it's all Uncle Feng's fault. I couldn't stop them and caused you trouble. Go back and talk to the young men and ask them to be magnanimous and not to bother with these peasants. You probably haven't finished your meal yet, so Uncle Feng won't bother you any more." After saying that, Lin Feng walked away quickly without waiting for Lin Xin to reply.

Lin Xin looked at his receding figure, turned around and went back to the yard without saying anything.

As soon as I entered the door, I was met with four pairs of sparkling eyes.

"What are you doing?" "Nothing, I just think what you say is so funny. Who are you calling a little bitch? Hahaha..." Gao Yong couldn't help laughing when he thought about it now.

Although the other three were not as exaggerated as him, they all laughed out loud.

"You weren't full just now, were you? Do you want to heat up the food and eat some more?" After everyone had laughed enough, Mo Ziyuan asked Lin Xin.

Lin Xin shook her head. "No thanks. I'm not that hungry anyway. Let's eat together tonight!"

"That's fine. It's starting to snow again. Let's finish our meal early and get some rest tonight."

At night, the snow got heavier again. The snow covering the ground reflected the moonlight and seemed not so dark. After dinner, everyone sat at the kitchen door, each holding a cup of red date ginger tea, watching the snow.

"The snow this year seems to be heavier than in previous years!" Cui Shi sighed as he looked at the falling snow while wearing a fur coat.

"Indeed, the snow in winter has rarely been this heavy. It's only the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's still early for winter to be over!" Chu Yu also said.

Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. The abnormally heavy snow might mean a snowstorm. The emperor was now absorbed in seeking immortals and didn't care about the lives of the common people. There were constant factional disputes in the court. Although Grand Tutor Feng was gone, several new forces had emerged. The prince was already struggling, and even if he wanted to do something, he would be powerless.

"Alas! The people are going to suffer!"

"That's right. If there really is a snowstorm, who knows how many people will die."

"You don't have to be like this. It's a bit early to worry about something that hasn't happened! Besides, even if there really is a snowstorm, what can you do?" Lin Xin looked at them and asked.

"Oh!" Cui Shi was the first to lower his head. Indeed, even if there really was a snowstorm, what else could they do except worry!

"So, don't waste your time on internal affairs. I believe there must be a reason why you stayed away from the capital. It's better to do your own things first. That way, you will have enough energy to do other things."

Mo Ziyuan suddenly looked up at Lin Xin. At that moment, he suddenly felt that the road ahead seemed much clearer. Unlike before, he couldn't see the direction of his efforts. Yes! Their most important thing now was to complete the tasks assigned by the Crown Prince, instead of pondering these things that shouldn't be their concern.

At night, Lin Xin had a good sleep. Lin Tao lay beside her like a little heater and slept like a little pig. Occasionally, he would giggle, not knowing what he was dreaming about.

Gao Yong and the others gathered in Mo Ziyuan's room to discuss future matters.

"The two most important things now are money and people. People are easy to deal with. We may not have hundreds of thousands of people under our command, but we must have at least 30,000 or 50,000 people. The key now is the lack of money. The military expenditure to support these people is not a small amount!" Chu Yu was the first to speak this time.

"We can do business on our own. We have a lot of private property and our annual income is pretty good," said Meng Yichen.

"Bullshit!" Gao Yong cursed. "I own eight shops and two restaurants. I'm lucky enough to be able to make ends meet. None of us are the kind of people who can make a killing!"

After he said that, everyone lowered their heads. Although the industries under their names were better than Gao Yong's, they were not much better. It was simply a pipe dream to want to support an army of 30,000 to 50,000 people with that income.

"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go back and rest first! We can discuss this matter later." Mo Ziyuan was also worried about the lawsuit, so he simply sent everyone away.
