Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

“I spent money to buy them all, so they should listen to me, but not all stubborn hooves have this awareness.”

She stopped and looked back at Lin Cai: "They might run away or try to kill themselves. If they run away and get caught, there are only two outcomes: they'll be sold back home as wives."

"The person escaped, I spent all my money, and ended up with nothing. As for those who tried to commit suicide, well, that's even more straightforward!"

"If someone crashes into the wall and bleeds badly, they die. All my money will have been wasted, and I'll still have to collect their body."

“I’m not running a charity. I need to live too. Not just me, but the girls in this building need to live as well. They don’t want to starve to death.”

Lin Cai was speechless after hearing these words, and besides, it seemed like this matter couldn't be explained clearly.

Hua Niang led Lin Cai to the door, but they were stopped just as they were about to leave.

"Boss Hua, the master wants to see you."

A man in black blocked Hua Niang's path. Upon hearing his words, Hua Niang's expression changed, then she put on a smiling face and asked, "Brother, does my master want to see me? What is it about? Could you please tell me..."

As Hua Niang spoke, she held the handkerchief in her hand and slowly approached the man in black. Just as she got close, her hand was almost sliced ​​off.

The man in black wore a mask, so nothing could be seen except his eyes. She couldn't get close and was almost crippled. Hua Niang suppressed her fear and retreated to her original position.

"Since the master has summoned me, please lead the way, elder brother."

After finishing her sentence, Hua Niang glanced at Lin Cai behind her and said, "Little Hua, you wait for me in the building. You are not allowed to go anywhere until I return."

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai did not refute but simply replied "Yes." When she looked up, Hua Niang had already left with the man in black.

On the other side, Lin Long, who had been searching all night without finding anyone, was now extremely agitated, and Lin Bao didn't dare to get any closer to his older brother.

"Big brother, should I go back and check first? Maybe little sister has already gone back?"

He had barely finished speaking when he received a glare: "Shut up."

Lin Long really wanted to beat his younger brother up again. He had eaten so much food and grown so big, yet he couldn't even protect his younger sister. What was the point of raising him?

Lin Bao felt a little aggrieved when told to shut up, and you could hear it in his voice.

"Why are you being so fierce? I didn't do it on purpose. My little sister is lost, and I'm very worried too. Why do you have to talk to me like that?"

Lin Long: "..." Could he just throw the person out? Like, throw them into the street and never want them again!

Lin Long ignored his younger brother's complaints, and soon someone returned from outside.

"Brother Long, Brother Long has found her! Someone saw Big Sister being taken away by Hua Niang. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be with Hua Niang right now."

"She was taken away by the Flower Maiden? That old hag, she can't resist pretty girls, can she?"

"She dares to take my sister away so easily. I think that old hag doesn't want to keep her Yichun Garden open anymore."

As Lin Long spoke, he grabbed his weapon and led his brothers to fetch the man back. But just as they reached the door, Lin Bao stopped him.

"Big brother, big brother can't go now. Even if we had to go, it couldn't be you. Let's think of another way. You can't go there right now..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Long instantly felt like hitting his younger brother again. Although what his brother said made a lot of sense, he didn't want to listen to it at all.

"If I don't bring him back now, am I just going to leave him stuck in that godforsaken place?"

"Do you even know what Yichun Garden is? How can you let a young lady stay there?"

"I know what kind of place that is, and I know that my little sister can't stay there, but you can't go!"

Lin Long's identity is known to everyone in Longxing County. If he gets involved with Xiaomei, will they still want to go back to Gujia Village?

Wasn't that why the three of them rarely came home when they were working outside?

So if Lin Long goes to pick them up in person now, people will definitely find out, and once they find out, the news will definitely not be kept secret.

They didn't know what Lin Cai was thinking. If they disrupted her peaceful life, that girl would definitely stop talking to them.

Lin Bao voiced his concerns, and Lin Long calmed himself down, throwing the broadsword to the ground.

"I can't go by myself, so who do you think should go?"

“Let’s find someone, someone who doesn’t have a reputation in Longxing County, someone that no one knows or is familiar with.”

It's just that this person is a bit hard to find!

On the other side, after Hua Niang was led over, she went into a room. She bowed her head and bowed, then kept looking at her toes and dared not raise her head.

Zhao Li looked up from among the beauties and asked the flower maid, "Are you the owner of Yichun Garden?"

"Yes, sir, it is indeed I, your humble servant."

"Were those women all sent over by you?"

Hua Niang responded, not daring to say another word. Then she heard, "You know what the person I'm looking for looks like, and the person you found looks quite similar."

"I just don't know where you found so many people who look so alike?"

"Your Excellency, I found it on the street."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Li raised an eyebrow: "Oh~ Did you find it on the street?"

"The people I'm looking for are so easy to find; I can find several similar-looking people on the street. So why haven't I found any of them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Niang immediately knelt down and began to explain how she had been looking for the person.

After hearing Hua Niang explain the method, Zhao Li smiled.

"Hahaha, so you only put a little effort into the appearance. So the people you sent over are not the ones I'm looking for at all. They're just dressed up."

The woman kneeling on the ground trembled upon hearing this. She dared not speak now, fearing that if she uttered a single wrong word, she would lose her head.

Seeing how frightened Hua Niang was, Zhao Li asked her a few more questions and then had someone take her out. However, after they left, Zhao Li called someone back in.

When Hua Niang returned to the backyard, she almost fell to the ground. Her legs went weak, and she was helped up by someone.

Seeing the person who had helped her up, Hua Niang was startled: "Oh my, my dear lady, what are you still doing here? Didn't I tell you to go back and wait for me? Why didn't you go back?"

"Going back or waiting here is the same thing, both are waiting for me, so why go back?"

"What were you taken there to do? Why are you so scared?"

Hua Niang's legs were still weak, and she couldn't stand up on her own, so she simply leaned on Lin Cai.
