After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

As for Sun Qiang, who was standing to the side, he couldn't help but tremble after hearing Lin Fan's clear answer.

Lin Fan had clearly figured out the relationship between them.

He was puzzled as to how Lin Fan had figured it out. Their acting was flawless, especially his wife Lin Xiangqing's, whose expressions were incredibly realistic and whose screams were absolutely deafening. How could they possibly have been discovered?

However, even though they had been discovered, they could only pretend to deny it, since the money was almost in their hands and they couldn't afford to lose it all now.

Sun Qiang hurriedly shook his head and argued, "Brother-in-law, don't listen to the Lin brothers' nonsense. How could we possibly be in cahoots? These are debt collectors, and you know about the IOU, right?"

Lin Zhi looked at Lin Fan, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao Fan, could you be mistaken?"

Lin Fan shook his head at his second brother and said calmly, "Second brother, it's not that I'm mistaken, but these people are too despicable. Your sister is long dead, and the woman in front of you is not your sister."

"Wha, what?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi was stunned, his mind going completely blank.

Lin Xiangqing, who was standing to the side, was even more startled and hurriedly looked at Lin Zhi to explain, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. How could I not be your sister? If I weren't your sister, how would I have that IOU, and how would I know so much about family matters?"

Lin Fan sneered, looking at the people in front of him, and said coldly, "Your performance was really clumsy, and most importantly, it was full of loopholes."

"Didn't you ever think about this? Although we are from another village and may be deceived by you, the people in your village know everything about you. Do you think you can hide it?"

Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiangqing with icy eyes and said, "You should be surnamed Wang, and your nickname is Juan'er."

“You and Sun Qiang did get married more than half a year ago, but you also only came to this family more than half a year ago. Before that, there was no one in this village named you.”

"And you, Sun Qiang, you had an adopted sister named Lin Xiangqing."

"However, this younger sister died of illness five years ago. Although we don't know what illness she had, if you had taken her to the hospital for treatment back then, with today's medical technology, she should have been able to survive, right? Unless it was a terminal illness like cancer."

"You guys are really stupid to set up a scheme with a person who has been dead for five years and a newly added bride, all for eight hundred yuan."

Lin Fan looked at the people in front of him with a face full of sorrow.

If he can see with his own eyes that his second brother's sister is living a good life and living in harmony with her family when he comes back this time, he would be willing to give her not just 800 yuan, but three or four times more.

It's even reasonable to give them money, after all, others have raised your daughter for so long for free. Lin Zhi and he are this younger sister's support, so it's only right to give them some money.

But now, the person has died of illness, and these people somehow found out about the Lin family and that the Lin family has some money. They actually came up with such a clumsy excuse to swindle money. It's truly pathetic.

Of course, there were still some things Lin Fan hadn't figured out, such as what exactly was going on with that IOU, and why Lin Zhi said there really was such an IOU before.

In short, Lin Fan was certain that the IOU did not belong to these young people in front of him. Upon closer inspection, the IOU was actually borrowed by Lin Zhi's parents before their deaths.

It has been almost twenty years since then. The people who wrote the IOU back then must have been middle-aged, at least in their forties or fifties, if not in their fifties or sixties. How could they have been a group of young men?

After hearing Lin Fan recount everything about them, Sun Qiang and Lin Xiangqing fell completely silent.

Lin Zhi felt a sudden throbbing in his heart, and an indescribable sorrow spread throughout his body.

"Dead...So my sister died a long time ago? And all these people in front of me are fake?"

Lin Zhi did not suspect Lin Fan.

Xiao Fan knew better than anyone what kind of person he was. He would never joke about something like this. He wouldn't even mention it unless he was absolutely sure, because he was very considerate of other people's feelings. He knew that even a guess could make him sad.

Now that he has brought it up, it can only mean one thing: he has solid evidence to prove everything he said.

Lin Zhi looked at the man and woman in front of him, their eyes darting around, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Really? Really? My sister is really dead?"

Lin Xiangqing opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but now that Lin Fan had exposed their past, and from the meaning in his words, it was clear that she had found out from other people in the village.

If they were to confront someone, the lie would be exposed in no time. After all, they were just taking advantage of Lin Fan and his fellow villagers being from out of town and not knowing anything about the village, which is why they told this lie. They could just ask anyone from the village and the truth would come out.

"you……"

Lin Zhi's face turned pale, and his once rosy lips lost their color.

He could only utter two words before he could no longer speak.

He came here with endless hope, thinking he would finally see his only blood relative, his sister whom he had been separated from for more than ten years.

However, what awaited him was a lie and the cold, hard truth that followed.

His sister had long since died, and he was still all alone, with no blood relatives left.

At this moment, no one could understand the disappointment and bitterness in Lin Zhi's heart.

He only knew that he had once carried sacks for more than ten hours in a single day without complaining or feeling tired. Even when a steel bar nearly ten centimeters long pierced his calf, he did not cry. But at this moment, he had an urge to cry.

"Speak up, tell me everything exactly as it is."

"Otherwise, I will make you pay the price for deceiving me."

Lin Fan didn't rush to comfort Lin Zhi, but instead stared coldly at the people in front of him.

After a long silence, Sun Qiang suddenly laughed.

He suppressed the look of guilt and helplessness on his face and said in a deep voice, "Don't you already know? What other explanation do you want?"

"That's right, we're planning to swindle your money. Lin Xiangqing is indeed dead, but shouldn't you give us this money?"

“We adopted Lin Xiangqing and raised him for so many years. Although he unfortunately died of illness in the end, he ate and drank our food at home. Isn’t that money?”

Lin Fan said indifferently, "There's no need to say such nonsense. The other villagers have already told me that after Lin Xiangqing came to your family, she was forced to do farm work and dig wild vegetables to support your family of bloodsuckers."

"She's probably never even tasted meat since she was a child, and you still have the nerve to say you raised her?"
