Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

But the strong killing intent came quickly and also receded quickly. Lin Xiaoyue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the killing intent in her eyes was completely gone.

This is not the end of the world. She is no longer the one who feeds the whole family. Now she has a family to support, so she has to be a little cautious in her actions.

Thinking about the purpose of tonight's trip, Lin Xiaoyue looked in the direction of Old Man Lin, took a deep look, then turned around and jumped towards the direction of Old Lady Lin's house.

In the early summer night, there is a hint of dryness. The sound of insects is like a whisper in your ear, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes dull.

"It's so noisy. If I had known, I should have drowned him in the urine bucket as soon as he was born, instead of making him upset for nothing."

After returning to her room, Mrs. Lin lay down, tossing and turning for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep. She was obviously very irritable.

Thinking of the five thousand taels of silver from the Mu family, she became even more irritated. She wanted to solve this matter quickly and put the silver in her pocket, but she also felt that San'er was becoming more and more disobedient to her. He was really a rotten wood head that could not be carved.

And that dead girl Lin Sanya, she was just a lowly piece of shit and a money-loser. She just got lucky and got the title of village chief for nothing. She really thought she was making a fortune.

Humph, you actually dared to disobey her. This really pissed off the old woman.

The old lady became more and more angry as she thought about it. She got up in frustration and smashed a few dishes. Then she threw herself heavily on the bed, rolled herself up with a thin quilt, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

However, before falling asleep, she was still mumbling, "It was all caused by that idiot Lin Youhe. If he hadn't... left, I wouldn't have gotten so angry and had a child with that idiot, Lin Damu. That stubborn fool has really ruined my life..."

Mrs. Lin's words were vague, and Lin Xiaoyue didn't hear them clearly, but based on the few words she caught, she became more and more suspicious.

She thought that this was probably one of those melodramatic online dramas that we have seen too many times in modern times, with a mistress breaking into the house, or a child being taken away by mistake, or... one wife having two husbands.

When the last guess flashed through her mind, Lin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up instantly.

Why did she think the last guess might be the closest to the truth? But it was so explosive..., are there really women in this era who are so unfaithful?

A hint of speculation was like a drop of water falling into an oil pan, which instantly caused the pan to explode.

Lin Xiaoyue pricked up her ears to listen more, but unfortunately, the old lady had vented enough and was tired. After a while, she fell asleep with her eyelids fluttering.

……

Lin Xiaoyue frowned and reluctantly gave up her thoughts, letting this old hag get the upper hand.

But is there anything that can really be concealed from the world?

There is no airtight wall under the sky.

As long as she is given a fulcrum, she will always find a way to pry open the old woman's iron mouth.

Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her eyebrows, with murderous intent in her eyes, and raised her hand to wave in the air.

In a moment, Zeng Jin and Liu Er flashed to her side.

Lin Xiaoyue opened her mouth silently and asked them with her lips, "Have you figured out where the other people's rooms are?"

The two nodded.

This was just the most superficial inquiry, which naturally did not require much effort. For them, it was just like taking something out of a bag, which was extremely simple.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoyue whispered a few instructions to them. Looking at the two people jumping back and forth on several rooftops with black cloth bags, she couldn't help but curl up a strange smile at the corner of her mouth.

It's really... courageous of you to dare to set your sights on her.

……

Half an hour later, terrified screams were heard one after another from the dilapidated house where the Lin family lived.

The sound was so shrill and harsh that it startled the neighbors who were sleeping, causing them to curse and bark. Dim candles were lit, making this dilapidated neighborhood the most conspicuous place under the cover of night.

Lin Xiaoyue, Zeng Jin and Liu Er had already left the place of trouble before the old house became lively. Now, even from a distance, she could still hear their heart-wrenching screams. She couldn't help but blink to hide the smile in her eyes.

With a wave of his hand, the two men paused and quickly disappeared into the darkness, retreating out of the city.

As for Father Lin, although his starting point was good and he was thinking about her, he shouldn't have made Miao sad, shouldn't have made the other girls sad, and shouldn't have made everyone in the Lin family worry about him...

He won't die anyway, so let him stay with the people in the old house and love each other for a while.

After all, life is short, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to live under the same roof with the people in the old house again in this life.

The night passed.

Early in the morning, when everyone was still eating, someone knocked on the door outside the manor.

The doorman, old man Zeng, respectfully led the yamen runners with solemn expressions into the front hall.

As soon as he came in, the yamen runner, who had a stern face and indifferent expression a moment ago, showed a look of panic and surprise for a moment after seeing Captain Wu eating at the same table with Lin Xiaoyue, and soon turned into a look of awe.

Obviously, the yamen runners knew Captain Wu.

He respectfully bowed to Captain Wu and said, "Master Captain, you are here too?"

"Well, you guys came to my house so aggressively early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Don't think he didn't see it. Just now, those yamen runners all had serious faces, as if they had lost dozens of taels of silver. It's obvious that it's not a good thing.

It was early in the morning. He had had too much fun last night and didn't sleep much the whole night. He couldn't even eat in peace early in the morning. Captain Wu simply didn't want to eat. He put down his chopsticks and asked with a cold look.

The eyes of the yamen runners flashed, and their expressions were a little strange. "Early this morning, someone came to the yamen to sue the Le An Township Master for releasing a snake to kill someone last night, and taking human life lightly."

"Bullshit." Captain Wu slammed the table in anger and shouted, "What about releasing snakes? What about taking human lives lightly? Bullshit. Last night, we were all at the farm, more than 200 people were drinking and chatting together. Who was so reckless as to say that the village chief was trying to kill people for money?"

"No, Captain Wu, don't be angry first. We are just asking the village chief for cooperation as a routine and going back to the yamen to question him." The yamen runners were obviously familiar with Captain Wu's hot temper, which could explode at any time. Seeing that he was obviously angry, cold sweat rolled down their cheeks.

Damn it, isn't it said that this is just a village chief from a grassroots background? How come he knows this evil star Wu Qianhu?

Lin Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes dangerously. The people in the old house were not stupid. They suspected her so quickly. It seemed that they were not scared enough last night.

"Alright, alright, you just listen to those babbling nonsense all day long. Do you have any evidence? If not, leave now and come back when you have actual evidence. You are wasting the village chief's time."

Captain Wu looked impatient and waved his hand impatiently, telling them to leave quickly and not to disturb them while they were eating and affect their appetite.

The yamen runners looked at each other in confusion, sweating profusely. No, the master asked them to take the person back, they couldn't go back empty-handed, could they? They couldn't explain this.
