Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Father Lin was very angry. The other party spoke as if the two hundred taels were a gift from him. "Do you feel guilty? All I paid for your food, drink and treatment is two hundred taels?"

What Father Lin wanted to say was that his daughter had pulled everyone out of dire straits time and again, having experienced bandit night attacks, sandstorms, encounters with packs of wild dogs, cliff jumping, crossing swamps, and overturning bandit dens. These were life-threatening experiences one after another. Now they are betraying everyone for this little benefit. Where is their conscience?

However, what Father Lin had not said clearly made Miao misunderstand. "My daughter was kind enough to give the secret recipe to everyone to tide over the difficulties, but now you have not mentioned a word. Will you use the secret recipe to make a profit after you leave, or will you not disclose the secret recipe to outsiders? Do you think we are stupid and easy to fool?"

That is the recipe given by the "immortals", a treasure of the immortals. My daughter should share it with her family, but she doesn't want it to be wasted by this family of ungrateful people.

Not only Miao, but everyone present misunderstood the meaning of what Old Man Lin had not said, and all of them were displeased with the Luo family.

Look, this family of ungrateful people, they are still here, but they want to fool us, they really think they are ignorant old folks, right? We shouldn't be too polite to them, see, they are taking advantage of us.

Grandpa Lin was so angry that he repeatedly hit the ground with his walking stick, "You are not a member of our Lin family, and you have no relationship with us. We will not stop you from leaving, but you cannot take the secret recipe from our Lin Village with you."

As soon as Grandpa Lin finished speaking, everyone surrounded the Luo family.

Shopkeeper Luo found it ridiculous. He had memorized the secret recipe in his head. Uncle Lin said that they could not take it away. Could it be that he wanted to dig out the secret recipe from their heads? He opened his mouth, but swallowed it back in time. He laughed and asked, "What does Uncle Lin want?"

This rhetorical question made Grandpa Lin swallow back all the anger in his heart.

Yes, they are not officials, and they have no power to detain people. The secret recipe has been recorded by the other party. Even if the other party verbally or in writing promises not to disclose it, what use is the promise made to a treacherous villain?

"Fifty thousand taels, you buy it with your money."

Lin Xiaoyue said this indifferently, causing the Luo family to gasp.

"You're crazy. You have the nerve to ask for fifty thousand taels for that crappy recipe of yours. How can you..."

"Snapped--"

When Luo Qianqian heard that Lin Xiaoyue wanted fifty thousand taels, she almost exploded and roared in anger. But before she could finish her words, she was slapped by Lin Xiaoyue and spun around twice, and then her head hit the door frame hard before she stopped.

The Luo family rushed forward to check and found that Luo Qianqian had a big bump on her head, her cheeks were swollen, and her back teeth were knocked out.

The Luo family looked as ugly as if someone had died in the family. Luo Qianqian, a girl who hadn't been engaged yet, had her face disfigured by someone. How could she ever marry into a good family in the future?

"You bitch, you actually dared to hurt my daughter, you..."

"Snapped--"

Another slap, but this time it fell on Mrs. Luo's face.

However, because Mrs. Luo was holding Luo Qianqian who had fallen to the ground, her center of gravity was stable, so she did not spin around like Luo Qianqian did after being hit by Lin Xiaoyue. At most, the corner of her mouth was cracked and bleeding.

Manager Luo knew that he had fallen out with everyone today. If the other party really wanted them to die in the manor without knowing it, no one would know. He could only suppress his anger and questioned Lin Xiaoyue with gritted teeth, "What do you want?"

Lin Xiaoyue took the handkerchief to wipe her fingers slowly, as if they were stained with something dirty. After wiping, she threw the handkerchief out of the yard and looked at him sincerely, "Didn't I just tell you? 50,000 taels, you spend money to buy the secret recipe. Manager Luo is so young, maybe his hearing is not good? Do you want Chun Xing to give you two injections? You know her medical skills, she learned from Doctor Qiao, guaranteed."

"I don't have any money. Fifty thousand taels is too much."

"Oh, is that so?" Lin Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes dangerously and thought for a while, "Are you reminding me to kill your whole family to silence them? In that case, the world is in chaos now anyway, and no one will take the death of a few people seriously. Besides, I don't want the secret recipe to be leaked, it seems..."

Before she could finish her words, the murderous intent in Lin Xiaoyue's words was obvious.

"You can't kill us. Killing is against the law."

"Didn't you remind me to root out the problem?"

Lin Xiaoyue's big eyes rolled around, very smart, and she looked completely harmless and innocent.

Shopkeeper Luo choked, and he realized how safe this little girl in front of him was when they were on the same front and were his own people. However, she became more ruthless when she stood on the opposite side.

He had seen how she single-handedly wiped out an entire bandit den; he had also seen how she treated the fate of Xiaoqiao, who betrayed everyone, colluded with the bandits, and kidnapped her family...

Until this moment, Shopkeeper Luo and even all the members of the Luo family regretted their decision and realized how naive they were to think that they could easily cheat things out of this Jade-faced Rakshasa without paying any price.

But fifty thousand taels... It's not that he can't come up with it. After all, he has accumulated some wealth after traveling all over the country for many years, but...

"Hey, is there anyone inside? Come out and open the door." Suddenly, fierce shouts came from outside the gate of Zhuangzi, and the sound of the door being kicked and hit broke the solemn atmosphere in the hall.

This voice is so loud.

Because of this quarrel, the atmosphere changed immediately.

The Luo family members seemed to have seen a savior, and their faces turned from gloomy to bright, as if the person shouting outside the door was not a person, but a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

The faces of the others all changed. Although they didn't know who the visitor was, it was obvious that he had bad intentions.

The weather was hot and everyone was feeling restless. The constant shouting and banging outside the door made their already irritable mood even more upset.

"Forget it, go open the door and see who is causing trouble outside."

Lin Xiaoyue spoke to the men present, and Lin Baotian, Lin Shuqin, Lin Dashan, Lin Xiaoshan, and the hunter Lin Quanshui immediately stood up and headed towards the gate.

Soon, a quarrel was heard outside, and soon, hurried footsteps were heard. Seven or eight men with thick eyebrows, square faces, eight feet tall, and strong and sturdy like steel piles and iron pillars, swarmed into the front hall.

The leading man strode into the front hall as if he were in an empty place. When he saw the situation in the hall, his face changed. Then he looked up and down at Lin Xiaoyue who was standing in the middle with a scoundrel look, and said dirty words, "Little girl, do you know that trespassing into a place sealed by the government is a serious crime and you will be sent to prison."

"Who are you? How did you break in?" Seeing that the newcomers had ill intentions, Grandpa Lin looked solemn and stepped forward to protect Lin Xiaoyue behind him.
