Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes at her. "Of course you should go back to your husband's house. Do you really want to stay with us? When we divorced Yunfang, didn't you ask her to come back and work like a slave for you? Don't you know that you are like this? Go and work like a slave for them, serve their whole family, and beg them to keep you here, give you food and a place to stay."

Lin never expected that Mrs. Lin would drive her away and ask her to go back to the Yun family.

She doesn't want to go back.

She accepted the fact of being divorced so quickly because she didn't want to flee to Hepu County with the Yun family. It was such a faraway place, and she didn't know what to do there. She had no house, no land, and no food. She had a lot of money, but she had nothing. She probably wouldn't have much left after settling down. She didn't know how the family would survive.

She couldn't go back, couldn't flee with them, she had to stay in her parents' home and live a stable life.

After much persuasion, it was finally Lin's two sisters-in-law who begged for mercy, and Mrs. Lin finally agreed to let her stay.

But when he thought about having one more mouth to feed at home, he cursed for a long time before he stopped.

"You guys clean up the yard and the house. I'm going to go back to my room and lie down for a while. I'm exhausted from all the torment they've done today."

After saying that, she returned to her main room. As everyone knew, she was not going to rest, but had just received money from Lin and was going back to her room to hide it.

As soon as Mrs. Lin left, everyone else said they wanted to go back to their room to rest, including Lin's two sisters-in-law.

Before leaving, they all asked Lin to clean up the yard and the house.

This was the reason why they helped to plead for her to stay.

When Yunfang was around, they didn't have to do any housework. But Yunfang left yesterday, and they have to cook, wash clothes, clean the house, chop wood, and fetch water.

After a day's work, they were almost exhausted. Usually, the two sisters-in-law only had to cook, and they didn't have to do any other work.

Now that Lin has returned, she can take over Yunfang's previous job. It's great to have such a free labor force.

As for having one more mouth to feed, it would only be two bowls of vegetable porridge a day. There was no need to prepare a room for her. Just let her sleep in the woodshed like Yunfang did before.

Thinking of this, the Lin family members returned to their rooms, preparing to wait until Lin had packed up before coming out.

But not long after, a sudden roar came from the main room, causing everyone in the Lin family to howl out.

"What's wrong? What happened? What happened?" Lin Laoer was the first to run out of the house and asked anxiously.

Others followed suit, all with bewildered looks on their faces.

At this time, shrill cries and curses were heard from the main house again, "Damn Yun family, how dare you touch my purse? My money is gone, all gone, ah ah ah——"

Everyone in the Lin family hurried to the main house, and saw that the house had been turned upside down, with sheets and quilts scattered all over the floor. Mrs. Lin was still lifting the bed board and searching everywhere, and she was not idle either, cursing the Yun family.

"Mom, what happened?" asked Boss Lin.

Mrs. Lin stopped searching, sat down on the bed, slapped the bed and howled, "The purse I hid under the bed is gone, and all the money in the house is gone. It must be the Yun family who did it, damn it, a bunch of bandits, they said they didn't enter the house to look for things, but they actually took my money. They will die a horrible death, may the sky strike them."

"Mom, wasn't your room locked all the time? Did they pry the door open?" asked Boss Lin.

Mrs. Lin was stunned. Yes, she had kept the door locked. Because she kept silver and money in the room, she always had the habit of locking the door. The key was also hanging on her belt. The lock was fine when she entered the door just now, and there was no sign that anyone had come in.

But his purse was missing. Not a single penny was left. Who else could have taken it if not the Yun family?

Could it be a house thief?

Mrs. Lin looked over all the members of the Lin family with her cloudy eyes, trying to see who was the most suspicious.

But looking around, everyone's expressions were similar.

The other members of the Lin family were also thinking that the Yun family had not entered their room before, nor had they come to the main room. Moreover, the main room was locked at that time, so no one could enter. So was the silver really lost?

Everyone looked at Mrs. Lin in confusion, wondering if she was trying to blackmail the Yun family.

Mrs. Lin had said before that Mr. Lin had more than 40 taels of silver, so the old woman wanted to blackmail him?

"Mom, how much money did you lose?" asked Lin Lao Da's wife.

The old woman was heartbroken and cried, "It's more than twelve taels in total."

There were several silver coins in it, about ten taels, and two strings of money, or 2000 coins, equivalent to two taels of silver. In addition, there were more than a hundred coins in miscellaneous amounts.

All this added up is more than twelve taels of silver.

The Lin family didn't expect that their mother had saved so much money without saying anything. It was really amazing.

What they didn't know was that at least half of it was gifts given to her by Lin over the years.

"Mom, should we go to the county town now and ask the Yun family to get the money back?"

Mother Lin glanced at everyone and said, "Of course we have to ask the Yun family for it back. But whoever took the money should return it."

Everyone is puzzled.

"Mother, what does this mean? Didn't you hide the money yourself and plan to blackmail the Yun family?"

Boss Lin asked in a low voice. Anyway, everyone in the family is family now, and there is nothing that cannot be said or asked.

Mrs. Lin glared at him, "When did I hide the silver? Didn't someone of you take it away?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Don't try to fool me. I've thought about it carefully. The Yun family has never been in my room before. When I came in just now, the door was locked. They didn't come in. It must be one of you who took the purse away when I wasn't paying attention."

Everyone shook their heads again.

"not me."

"Not me either."

"Not even me."

When Mrs. Lin saw that no one admitted it, she got angry, but she still wanted to get the purse back first.

She suppressed her anger and said earnestly, "I know you took the money bag because you wanted me to ask the Yun family for money. Now that my goal has been achieved, I will definitely go to the Yun family to settle the score. However, before that, you have to return the money bag to me so that I can feel at ease. Don't worry, just return the money bag to me, I will definitely not be angry. Not only will I not be angry, but there will also be a reward."

Everyone looked at each other, confused even more. Who in the family really took the purse?

Everyone was suspicious of each other. For a long while, no one came forward to admit that they had taken the purse.

Finally, Mrs. Lin lost her patience and got very angry. Seeing that no one came out to admit the crime, she shouted, "Search, I'm going to search every room of yours. I don't believe it. How can this money bag disappear out of thin air? One of you must have taken it and hidden it in the room."
