Why aren't you guys complaining now that I'm here?

The eldest family moved into a courtyard in the county town.

That night, Wang cooked a table full of delicious dishes.

She had been compromising in the Lin family for so many years, and now she was finally free. The smile on her face hadn't faded the whole day.

The next day, Lin Hao went to see the owner of Fuyuanlou again and sold him the milk tea recipe.

Because of the wide variety of dishes and the inclusion of various small ingredients, the recipe was sold for three hundred taels.

She used the three hundred taels to buy a small shop selling soap and made a lot of money.

On the other side, Lin Qingya lost fifty taels of silver, but he didn't dare tell the Lin family. He felt very upset and everyone looked like a thief to him.

Especially since that damn Fuyuanlou also started selling milk tea, with more varieties than hers, and it’s cheaper and tastes better.

The milk tea business was affected, and Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li gave her a hard time every day at home.

She was very upset, so she wanted to make some money by selling the milk tea recipe, just like she did last time with double skin milk.

As soon as I went to the restaurant to explain my purpose, the owner threw a basin of dirty water on me.

"Bah, you actually dared to come here? Your crappy double-skin milk is not even comparable to the ones sold at Fuyuanlou. I lost everything, and I'm lucky I didn't have to pay you back. And you still tried to cheat me!"

"Get out of here! Don't let me see you wandering around this place again!"

Lin Qingya was pushed out by the waiter and fell to the ground in a mess.

She didn't dare to confront the shopkeeper, but was unwilling to give up, so she went to another restaurant to ask.

Unexpectedly, people rolled their eyes when they saw her, obviously they already knew about the double skin milk.

Finally, a sweet water shop owner was found who was willing to buy the house, but he was only willing to pay ten taels of silver.

Although it’s little, it’s better than having nothing.

Lin Qingya gritted her teeth and sold it. She returned home in a daze, planning to find all the silver and put it in one place.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the bedding, I didn't see the two taels of silver.

"Damn thief!" Lin Qingya gritted her teeth and threw away the bedding, unable to suppress the anger in her heart any longer.

The damn thief actually dared to steal her silver. She must find him!

That day, Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin were not at home, so she quietly went into their room.

After a careful search, he found nothing and was caught red-handed by Old Lady Lin who suddenly returned.

"Qingya, what are you doing?"

Old Mrs. Lin stood at the door with her eyes narrowed, looking suspicious.

Lin Qingya shuddered, and the rag bag in his hand fell to the ground, spilling out a pile of copper coins and some silver coins.

"I, I, I'm looking for something..."

"Looking for something? You're using my purse to look for something?" Old Lady Lin asked in a deep voice.

Lin Qingya was speechless. "I, I'm not, grandma, I just saw the bag and got curious..."

Old Mrs. Lin laughed and didn't believe a word of it.

Lin Qingya couldn't stand her suspicious look, so she said casually, "I'll go cook," and ran away.

Old Mrs. Lin immediately searched the house thoroughly.

All the silver she had hidden, except for the money in the rag bag, was gone!

“Lin Qingya!!!”

Old Lady Lin kicked her door open angrily.

As soon as Lin Qingya sat down, she was slapped by Old Lady Lin and fell to the ground with stars in her eyes.

"You damned girl, you've even learned to steal things! Hand over my silver now!"

Lin Qingya's heart skipped a beat. "Grandma, what are you talking about? What silver?"

Old Lady Lin slapped him again with her backhand, "You still dare to be so stubborn? Take it out!"

Lin Qingya's forehead was buzzing with pain, "Grandma, I really didn't take your money..."

Old Mrs. Lin didn't listen to her explanation, pushed her away and turned the bed upside down.

After learning from his mistakes, Lin Qingya had already moved the silver to another place, so naturally there was no money under the bed.

But Old Lady Lin was not easy to deal with. Before Lin Qingya could even breathe a sigh of relief, her old eyes locked onto an inexplicably concave area under the bed.

Lin Qingya's eyelids twitched, and before she could react, Old Lady Lin had already squatted down and dug open the hole with great effort, and took out an oil-paper bag the size of a bowl and a fist.

When he opened it, he saw a few small pieces of silver inside, about thirteen or fourteen taels, and some scattered copper coins.

"What is this?" Old Mrs. Lin suddenly glared at her with a sinister tone.

"This is my money!" Lin Qingya tried to grab it.

Old Lady Lin kicked her in the knee and knocked her to the ground.

Although Old Lady Lin is old, she has been working hard for many years and is much stronger than her.

Lin Qingya fell down in pain and it took her a long time to recover.

"Your silver? Lin Qingya, I know you used to sell double-skin milk and milk tea, secretly saving a few coins, but no matter how much you saved, you shouldn't have more than ten taels! Tell me! Did you steal this silver from my house?"

Lin Qingya's heart was in turmoil. This damn old woman had known for a long time that he was secretly saving money, but she didn't say a word and kept him as a tool to make money.

She was once obsessed with time-travel novels and fantasized that she could travel through time one day. Once her dream came true, she was full of confidence and wanted to reach the pinnacle of life with the prophetic memory of her previous life.

Unexpectedly, reality hit her hard again and again.

She originally thought that this family could be trusted and relied upon, but now, she finally saw the true face of Old Lady Lin.

Greedy, selfish, and without any discernment.

She's had enough, she wants to get out of here!

Lin Qingya stood up by the edge of the bed, her expression cold, "This is my money, give it back to me!"

"Are you crazy, you little girl? How dare you talk to me like that!" Old lady Lin frowned tightly, and her sour and smelly saliva and vicious curses fell on Lin Qingya's face.

"I'm telling you, don't think you can take advantage of me just because you have a skill! You're a wild ghost from nowhere. Since you've taken over my granddaughter's body, you should repay my family!"

Lin Qingya's eyes suddenly widened, her head buzzing, and it took her a long time to find her voice.

"......What did you say?"

Old Lady Lin stared at her coldly, "She said you were a wandering ghost!"

Lin Qingya's face turned pale and he took a step back, "You..."

"You want to ask me how I know? Haha, our whole family knows about it, but we kept it a secret from you so that you could earn money for us."

Old Lady Lin looked very proud. "My granddaughter Qingya has been a stubborn person since she was little. She has never even been to the county town. How could she know so many things overnight?"

"While you were away, Li and I went to the county to look for Chengcai. Chengcai mentioned in his storybook that this situation must have been caused by a wild ghost or monster possessing the body."

"Since you're quite obedient and have a skill that can earn you money, we didn't alert you. Otherwise, we would have burned you to death long ago!"

"If I had known that this was all you could do, that you couldn't earn any money, and yet you ignored my family's kindness and stole my money with such dirty hands..."

She smiled maliciously, took out a small ball of hemp rope from somewhere, and raised her hand to grab Lin Qingya's arm.
