After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

"Ah..." Chen Jiaxiu screamed, her legs went weak, and she staggered and fell to the ground.

Lin Shu sneered. She had only meant to scare her, but she hadn't expected her to be so easily frightened.

She looked at Chen Jiaxiu coldly, her tone indifferent and tinged with a chill.

“Chen Jiaxiu, you usually act like a bully in the village and bully the villagers. They don’t dare to offend you, but that doesn’t mean I have to tolerate you.”

"If you can't give me an explanation for what happened today, I don't mind killing you right now."

She was the only one who could bully her people; as for others, it was a matter of whether they had the guts.

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

No one expected that Lin Shu, who usually only bullied children and the elderly, would actually protect them and become so fierce and unforgiving.

Although they sided with the Lu family in this matter, if someone were to die, that would be a serious problem.

Feng Yingfa spoke again, "There's probably some misunderstanding about the Lu family's daughter-in-law. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, there's no need to cause a death."

“Yes, Lu family daughter-in-law, we’re all from the same village, we see each other all the time,” Aunt Qi said, although she disapproved of Chen Jiaxiu’s domineering personality.

But when it came to human lives, she ultimately couldn't bear to do it.

Lin Shu tightened his grip on the sickle and glanced at the villagers watching.

She might disregard the feelings of others, but she couldn't ignore those she had helped.

That's just how she is; if you treat me well, I'll repay you tenfold.

"Alright, since Uncle Village Chief and Aunt Qi are both speaking up for you, I'll spare your life today for their sake."

"But you'd better give me an explanation: did I steal this fish from your house, or are you framing us?"

"If you can't explain it clearly, I don't mind feeding you to the fish."

As he spoke, Lin Shu reached into the bamboo basket, took out a fish, and tossed it in front of Chen Jiaxiu.

Her fish all come from the space; how could such large, fat fish be raised in this remote, impoverished area?

Upon seeing the enormous, plump fish, everyone was speechless for a moment.

Let alone stealing it, they had never even seen such a big fish before.

In this village, it's a miracle if you can even find a fish, let alone a big one.

Chen Jiaxiu dared to be so arrogant because she was the only one in the village who could catch fish.

It was only when she saw the fishbone at the Lu family's door that she believed Ren Bilian's words.

"I...I also heard from Ren Bilian that she saw you stealing fish from my house, so I..."

"Ren Bilian?" Lin Shu chuckled.

This feud is now set in stone.

The truth came to light, and everyone suddenly realized what had happened.

It turns out that Chen Jiaxiu was being used as a pawn by Ren Bilian. While I despise her for her foolishness, I also feel a bit of sympathy for her.

This is the result of not using your brain.

Seeing that the truth had come out, the village head quickly said, "Since it was all a misunderstanding, you should apologize to the person right away."

Chen Jiaxiu then came to her senses and quickly said to Lin Shu, "I'm sorry."

Lin Shu looked at her coldly, "Should I be the one apologizing?"

Chen Jiaxiu quickly turned around, got up and crawled to Ji Shi and Lu Zijing, trembling as she said, "Aunt Lu, I'm sorry, I slandered you, please forgive me."

The Ji family did not want to make a big fuss, especially since it concerned Lu Shiyuan's hiding place.

Left with no other choice, he waved his hand dismissively, "Don't come to my house again."

Having received Ji's pardon, Chen Jiaxiu scrambled to her feet and fled the Lu family.

Upon seeing this, the villagers all turned and left.

Aunt Qi glanced at the Lu family, her face full of pity.

He spoke again, saying, "Sister Lin, the reason your mother-in-law and child are being wronged today is entirely because of your previous actions."

"You used to..." Aunt Qi started to say, but then realized something was wrong and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Take good care of your mother-in-law and children."

Lin Shu understood what she meant.

The reason these people dare to bully them so brazenly is because no one is there to stand up for them.

Even their original form often bullied them.

Regardless, she was very grateful for Aunt Qi's kindness.

"I know, Aunt Qi. I will treat them well from now on and never let anyone bully them again," Lin Shu said gratefully. If it weren't for their help today, Ji Shi and Lu Zijin would have been bullied terribly.

After Aunt Qi finished speaking, she turned and left the Lu family's courtyard.

After today's events, the villagers had to re-evaluate the Lu family.

Based on what they did today, they are not people they can bully at will.

In particular, the Lu family has a member named Lin Shu who is quick to kill people.

After everyone had left, Lu Zijing burst into tears and threw herself into Lin Shu's arms.

"mother……"

Lu Zijing's sobs were heart-wrenching, making Lin Shu's heart ache as well.

She held Lu Zijing in her arms with heartache, her eyes reddening slightly.

The Lu family's plight reminded her of herself when she was a child, when she was abandoned in an orphanage.

Because they had no one to stand up for them, they suffered all kinds of bullying.

Now that she has the power, she will never let anyone bully her child again.

Lin Shu raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Junheng, whose face was full of stubbornness, yet he managed to hold back his tears.

She beckoned to him, "Come here, let's hug."

Lu Junheng could no longer hold back his tears.

This is the first time, the first time someone has come out to protect them.

Actually, things like this have happened a lot before, but no one has ever stood up for them.

Even Lady Ji silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It's all my fault for being blind and useless, dragging them down.

Lin Shu calmed them down and, together with Lu Junheng, boiled water for them.

Lin Shu originally wanted to help Ji Shi, but Ji Shi refused.

Lu Junheng, who was in charge of bathing Lu Zijin, found Lin Shu speechlessly and said, "Mom, that boy wants you to bathe him."

Lin Shu shook his head helplessly, got up and walked towards the room.

Lin Shu finished bathing Lu Zijin and came out, just as Ji Shi finished bathing and came out as well.

Thinking about what she had talked about with Lu Junheng today, Lin Shu took the initiative to say, "Grandma, go wait for me in the yard. I'll take a look at your eyes later."

Ji was startled; she hadn't expected Lin Shu to suddenly examine her eyes.

For a moment, I thought I was dreaming.

After a moment, he replied to Lin Shu, "Okay."

Lin Shu entered the main house, changed Lu Junheng's dressing for the day, and then carried him out of the room to bask in the sun.

Ji Shi sat to the side, looking very nervous.

After instructing Lu Junheng and the other man to massage Lu Shiyuan, Lin Shu got up and went to Ji Shi's side.

She sat down in front of Ji Shi, took out a flashlight from her small medicine box, and examined Ji Shi's pupils.

It was discovered that her pupils were not damaged, so the blindness was not a direct problem with her eyes.

Then she grabbed Ji's wrist and checked her pulse.

Lin Shu frowned slightly, already having some guesses in his mind.

She gently released Ji's wrist and said in a gentle tone, "Mother-in-law, have you been poisoned or suffered any serious head injuries?"
