Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

It's just a shame. Compared with the future glory and wealth, being the second wife of Le'an Xiangzhu, what's the value of suffering a little now?

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Qingliu who had regained her confidence, crossed her arms and sneered, her eyes fell on the shining hairpin on her bun, and said slowly, "Your silver hairpin..."

Qing Liu was startled and quickly turned her head away, trying to block Lin Xiaoyue's sight from falling on her head.

"I remember that was something I gave to my mother. How did it become yours?" Lin Xiaoyue changed the subject and smiled.

Qingliu's eyebrows jumped, and the panic in her eyes disappeared in an instant. She turned around and wanted to leave the front hall, but was stopped by Xiaocao and Ergou. They rudely pulled the silver hairpin off Qingliu's head and pulled a handful of her hair.

Qingliu screamed in pain, holding her head.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know whether to stop or help. They were hesitant and all they wanted to do was to protect Lin Xiaoyue's reputation.

Seeing that no one came to help, Qing Liu gnashed his teeth and said, "What are you doing, Lord Le'an? Just a silver hairpin has you sending someone to hurt Second Mother? Once your reputation as a fierce and aggressive person gets out, aren't you afraid of ruining your future?"

Miao was so shocked when she heard this that her face changed and she hurried out to ease the situation and mediate.

The charming Qingliu has been causing her a lot of trouble recently. She really dislikes this person, but she has been forbearing it because she is afraid that she will say nonsense outside and tarnish her daughter's reputation.

If everyone had no concerns about what this woman said, why would they keep putting up with it?

Only the person involved, Lin Xiao, didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled softly and waved at her.

Qingliu felt uneasy and swallowed nervously, but she thought that since the relationship had already been exposed, it would be futile to give in. Anyway, she was barefoot and not afraid of those who wore shoes, so she wanted to see who would have the last laugh.

Suddenly, Qingliu's eyes blurred and someone grabbed the back of her neck tightly with such force that her face turned pale as paper in an instant.

She tried to struggle and kick, but Lin Xiaoyue remained unmoved.

Everyone screamed in surprise, but Lin Xiaoyue ignored them, lifted the person up high, dragged her out of the yard, asked Ergou to open the gate, and threw her out.

Qingliu's body drew an arc in the air, and he felt a gust of wind passing by his ears, and then there was a loud bang, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The sudden change made Qingliu's mind go blank. Her lower back hit the protruding stone when she fell to the ground. Instantly, a piercing pain went straight to her brain, and she curled up on the ground and groaned in pain.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at me with contempt and said directly, "You are not qualified to be my second mother. Who asked you to come? Ask her to tell me in person."

After saying that, he ignored Qingliu's wailing on the ground and closed the gate, blocking out the cursing and wailing outside.

After a long time, the noise outside the door gradually died down. Qingliu curled up on the ground for a long time before trying to get up. Staring at the closed door, she knew that no matter how much she made a fuss, no one would help her. Instead of being alone here, she might as well go get help.

As for how the reinforcements would plan with her, Lin Xiaoyue really didn't care.

Only when she got rid of the culprit who broke the harmony of this family did she feel a little relieved.

"...My daughter"

"Third girl..."

"Third sister..."

"Sister Sanya..."

Ignoring the crowd's calls, Lin Xiaoyue twisted her stiff neck and went to the front hall. She was starving, and she was exhausted from dealing with the garbage right after returning.

No matter what she thought, after sitting down, she asked the people who came back with her to fill their stomachs first.

She has to travel day and night, and she can't even have a good rest when she comes back. And there are all these troubles waiting for her. It's simply impossible for her to get well.

Moreover, when it comes to not being able to handle such a mess, although there are concerns that it will have a bad impact on her, but if she takes a step back, she will continue to retreat. Under the schemes of those with ulterior motives, what else can this be but being weak and gullible?

Where is the ruthlessness you showed when fleeing famine?

Could it be that after only a few short months of comfort, he became spineless again and allowed others to plot against him?

Deep down, Lin Xiaoyue was disappointed with the people in the village and also felt a little angry.

As if sensing Lin Xiaoyue's impatience, everyone became a little cautious.

Doctor Qiao, Doctor Li and others saw everything and didn't know how to persuade him. They just sighed and went back to eating noodles.

The atmosphere in the hall became unusually cold because of this incident. For a moment, there was complete silence, with only the sound of people smudging their faces.

Miao and Old Man Lin's eyes were red. Grandpa Lin wanted to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Xiaoyue raised her hand to stop him.

"I'll go live at my own farm later. I'm tired these past few days and I want to have a good rest. Dad and Mom, you guys handle this matter yourselves." In fact, Lin Xiaoyue wanted to say that since the emperor had already given her the village owner's mansion and the farm, she might as well live there directly in the future.

But thinking about the nature of these people, he didn't say anything absolute.

But she was really fed up with the repeated entanglements with the old house.

When Lin Laosan and his wife heard this, they gasped and pursed their pale lips, stammering and unable to speak for a long time. They knew that San Ya was resentful towards them.

The Lin sisters also looked unhappy. They bit their lips and felt aggrieved.

"Also, a person lives by his ability, not by his reputation. Moreover, if there is really a troublemaker coming into the family, there will be more chaos in the future. Some people take advantage of being my elders and order me around, or use the name of the village chief's family to do some shady things outside. I am afraid that I, as the village chief, will have to bear the blame for a lot of things."

At this point, Lin Xiaoyue closed her eyes, hiding her exhaustion, and said in a cold voice, "Instead of doing this, I might as well set up a new female household and live independently, saving myself from all these troubles."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and stared at Lin Xiaoyue with wide eyes in disbelief.

At some point, everyone saw only deep disappointment in her eyes.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing and no one spoke to break the silence. After a moment's stalemate, Lin Xiaoyue stood up and left the manor.

When Xiaocao and Ergouzi saw Lin Xiaoyue leaving, they stopped eating, dropped their bowls and chopsticks, and quickly followed her.

It was not until the three men left that everyone came to their senses. They felt a sharp pain in their hearts and inexplicably uncomfortable.

Doctor Li and the others finished their meal, wiped their mouths, and asked the younger generations to clean up the dishes.

Before getting up and leaving, Doctor Li thought for a moment and sighed, "She is just a girl in her teens, not even 15 years old yet, but she has taken on a heavy burden that she shouldn't have. If you can't take on the responsibility, at least don't hold her back."

As he said this, he shook his head, sighed, walked out of the front hall and went to the room in the backyard.
