Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Sometimes, man proposes, God disposes. Shopkeeper Luo wanted to steal the secret recipe to maximize his profits, but he didn't anticipate Lin Xiaoyue's tolerance for betrayal.

Is zero.

"Okay, you guys can go too, we're even now." After receiving the money, Lin Xiaoyue quickly sent them away. She didn't want to let these people stay under the same roof and make herself sick.

Shopkeeper Luo and his family were as if they had been pardoned. They quickly supported each other and walked out the door. Lin Xiaoyue suddenly called them again, "There is also a severed finger. Take it too. Is it disgusting to keep it here?"

These words are really heartbreaking. He had just received the money, but he couldn't even tolerate the other person's two broken fingers. He was so rude that he didn't show any mercy at all.

Mrs. Luo supported her trembling and pale husband with one hand, and half-hugged Luo Qianqian with the other hand. She really didn't have a hand free to pick up the severed finger on the ground.

She was also afraid that if she let Manager Luo and Luo Qianqian go, she would vent her anger and would not be able to help them get back on their feet. If she wanted to leave again, this female devil would find ways to make things difficult for her.

Helpless, Mrs. Luo could only wink at her mother-in-law and ask her to go back and pick up the severed finger on the ground.

Although Luo's mother's life was not smooth sailing, she had experienced storms, but she had never seen such a bloody scene. The only two times she had seen such a bloody scene were when bandits attacked at night and when she went deep into the bandits' lair.

However, both times, because there were young people in the front, she, as an elderly elder, had always been protected by the village head and hid in the back. She always came out after escaping danger, and had never faced such a dangerous and bloody scene.

This time, the old lady was so shocked that her soul disappeared. She was in a daze and her whole body was shaking like a sieve. Even when her daughter-in-law asked her to pick up the severed finger on the ground, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.

Looking at her, an old woman was trembling, unable to move her feet. She could only move slowly towards the broken finger. She seemed to be still trapped in a huge nightmare and couldn't wake up.

Normally, if it was still the same as before, with everyone still in the same team, anyone who saw the old lady looking so distracted would have come forward to ask her with concern.

But now she has ended up with no one caring about her, not even a sympathetic look, and her own son and granddaughter have all fallen ill. The old lady feels as if the whole world has abandoned her, lonely and cold.

She picked up the broken finger blankly and looked at the people in the hall. Her eyes were lifeless, with only infinite emptiness, as if her soul had been hollowed out. Her lips moved subconsciously a few times, but no sound came out. In the end, the old lady left the manor dejectedly under Mrs. Luo's trembling voice.

After sending away the annoying people, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, before they could catch their breath, they turned their attention to the seven strong men who later forced their way into the manor.

At this moment, under the close watch of nearly thirty pairs of eyes, even though the seven sturdy men relied on their strong and sturdy physique to scare people, they could not help but shiver all over.

Especially when their eyes swept over the pool of blood on the ground and Lin Xiaoyue who was staring at them, their trembling hearts trembled a few times. It was as if the god of death was perched beside them, staring at them, and every breath was as thin and dense as a slow slicing, torturing them deeply in their souls.

"This... is a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. We were just passing by and saw the seal was opened, so we came in to take a look. Now that everything is fine, we'll leave first."

These people came with great momentum, but after seeing Lin Xiaoyue cutting off people's fingers for a disagreement, they gave in surprisingly quickly.

But it is not so easy to come and go as you please.

Especially since their opponent was Lin Xiaoyue, even though she had just received 2 taels of silver, two of her own men were injured, so how could she save face if she just let this group of people go?

"No girl, why are you stopping us? We're leaving right now. It's all a misunderstanding. Isn't it cleared up? Then we'll leave first."

"Excuse me, sorry for bothering you. We'll leave right away. We'll leave right away."

Several sturdy bodyguards surrounded Sun Wanjin, protecting him as he seemed to be still thinking about something, and moved cautiously towards the door.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wanjin suddenly stopped, raised his hand and asked, "Well, aren't you worried that he will report you to the authorities? You cut off two of his fingers and extorted 50,000 taels of silver from him. Aren't you worried that he will report you to the authorities?"

The six strong men who were protecting Sun Wanjin staggered and almost lost their balance.

Hey, my dear young master, please take it easy. Why are you reminding me? Can't you see that this girl is not a good person? You have learned all the 36 strategies, and the best strategy is to run away.

"Hey, aren't you afraid?" As if there was no response from Lin Xiaoyue, Sun Wanjin emphasized the question again.

Everyone in the room looked at this brainless Young Master Sun. They felt that the group of people who had just rushed in aggressively seemed to have changed their minds all of a sudden. Could it be that all the ruffians and bullies in Wanbao Town were so stupid?

Even Lin Baotian and Lin Dashan, whose clothes were disheveled and looked a little embarrassed due to being pushed around, didn't know what expression to make.

Lin Xiaoyue sneered, "What are you afraid of? Go ahead and sue them if you have the guts. Is it reasonable to steal someone else's secret recipe? Besides, don't you even consider whether they can afford the secret recipe they stole?

Instead of caring about other people's affairs, you should take care of yourself first."

With one foot on the door frame, Lin Xiaoyue looked like a female mountain king who had come down from some mountain. She blocked the seven people's way and didn't let them leave easily.

"Girl, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was not willing to give up, several strong men could not help but put on an enemy posture and protected Sun Wanjin behind them, fearing that the crazy woman opposite them would suddenly attack and hurt people, which would make it difficult for them to explain to their master.

"What do you mean? You beat up our people? And you're asking me what I mean?"

"Girl, that's all misunderstanding. We just happened to pass by unintentionally, and we didn't mean to cause friction with your brothers. Besides, your brothers weren't hurt. Why don't we all take a step back and make a big deal out of a small matter, and make peace the most important thing."

"Heh, you just barged into someone else's house. That's unintentional? Then intentional, could it be that you just walked into the bedroom? What do you mean that since my brothers are not injured, we should keep peace? You are just being tyrannical and domineering. You come and go as you please. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"Miss, that's too much. I've already said that we saw the seal outside the manor was removed, and we wondered who would be so bold as to break into the mansion that the government had sealed and was preparing to auction it off, so we came in to take a look."
