Since Lin Bao had been chosen by his younger sister, he naturally had to support her. So he grabbed a stick and stood slovenly at the door as a door god.

No one noticed that a pair of eyes in the darkness, after witnessing this scene, disappeared into the darkness.

When Lin Cai entered, the four siblings in the room all stared at her expectantly. Gu Dachui stood up and said, "I can suggest that I show it to them."

"Now you know what fear is? Why weren't you scared when you took your younger siblings?"

Gu Dachui kept his head down and didn't say anything. Ershi didn't want his older brother to be scolded, so he stepped forward and said, "This matter can't be blamed on our older brother alone. We all went, so we all have a responsibility."

“You’re right, you all went, you all have a responsibility, but he’s your older brother, your role model. If he insists on not going, would you still go?”

Ershi was speechless. Just as Lin Cai said, if their eldest brother didn't go, then they definitely wouldn't go either.

People outside didn't dare to barge in, but they were also unwilling to leave. In short, someone had seized on the fact that Gu Dachui had caught fish and gathered half of the people in Gu Family Village to block them here, refusing to leave.

Seeing how things had turned out, the village chief knew that the matter couldn't be resolved that night, and since these people were unwilling to go back, he glanced at Lin Bao, who was standing by.

"Let's go, let's go back. What are you all doing here? It'll get cold soon, and we don't want everyone to catch typhoid fever."

"That's right. If this really turns into typhoid fever, not only will it delay our work, but we'll also have to go to town to see a doctor. Before we know it, dozens or even hundreds of copper coins will be gone."

He also wanted them to leave quickly. What were they doing staying here in the middle of the night? Did he really expect him to stay with them until tomorrow morning?

He doesn't have the energy; he can't stay with them until tomorrow morning. If he stays any longer, he might just start hitting them with a stick.

The village chief also heard what Lin Bao said and immediately said, "Did you hear that? It's hundreds of copper coins. Do you have any at home? If you do, then never mind what I said."

The people around fell silent. Of course, they didn't have any at home. If they did, they wouldn't have been so insistent on Gu Dachui catching fish to eat.

Some people thought the village chief was right; since they wouldn't get a bite of the fish anyway, they might as well go back.

However, some of them were unwilling, and in the end, Lin Bao deliberately intimidated them, scaring them so they left.

That night, the Gu family did not have a peaceful time. In the middle of the night, Lin Cai suddenly heard a noise. She opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the window.

I knew some people wouldn't let this go, but I didn't expect them to be so restless; they came that very night.

Lin Cai placed the things she had prepared before going to bed under the window, and then quietly retreated to the side.

Then she saw a bamboo tube being poked through the paper window. Seeing the smoke being pushed in, Lin Cai's lips twitched.

She quickly prepared wet wipes and covered her mouth and nose.

She really didn't expect to encounter something like what she saw on TV. But whether it was the original owner or her, they were just ordinary peasant women. Did they really need to do this?

Lin Cai overlooked one problem: how could people in the countryside possibly have such advanced things?

At most, they might steal at night. How could the villagers of Gujia Village have something that could be used to kill someone?

As the sleeping gas was pushed in a little, Lin Cai suddenly had another tissue in her hand, which she used to block the inserted bamboo tube.

Then a violent coughing sound came from outside. The other person probably realized that they had been exposed, coughed twice, and then stopped.

Early the next morning, Lin Cai saw the things left under the window and took them out to burn them.

Just as I was about to go back, I caught a glimpse of someone coming from that direction out of the corner of my eye.

Lin Cai paused for a moment, then frowned. This person's appearance rate... seems a bit too high.

That time, she wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong. If she hadn't, then...

Lin Cai lowered her head and continued walking back. Gu Zhan seemed to be just passing by and didn't pay any attention to Lin Cai at all.

The matter from last night had not been resolved. Around noon, the village chief arrived with his men and stood in the courtyard watching Lin Cai.

“Lin Cai, I know this isn’t exactly ethical, but you have to convince everyone. Some people say they saw it, and then you say they didn’t.”

"Whether you saw it or not, it's all just you talking. How can anyone else believe you? Why don't you just..."

"What am I? They say they saw it, so they just accused a child like that?"

"Big Hammer did take his younger siblings to the river, but that doesn't mean they caught any fish. Besides, does the bucket necessarily contain fish?"

Lin Cai wouldn't give in at all, and the village chief was at a loss. He kept saying he wanted to watch but wouldn't let her watch. If they started arguing, they might even fight!

Unfortunately, that scoundrel Lin Bao came to cause trouble again. He had just arrived when this scoundrel, I don't know who tipped him off, immediately ran over, as if he was afraid that he would bully his sister.

With Lin Bao in charge, the village chief couldn't say anything too outrageous, so he simply abandoned all pretense of decency.

"Lin Cai! I know you're protecting the child, but this matter..."

"Village chief, my sister already explained it so clearly, why are you bothering me so early in the morning!"

"If those people from last night want to know, let them come and see for themselves. You'll beat them up one by one if you don't see them."

When a bunch of idle people sneak off to catch fish in the middle of the night, why didn't they mention that their family went fishing?

It's best not to let him see this again next time, otherwise he'll make them pay dearly, or he'll be a different person altogether.

The village chief was also concerned for Da Chui, but Lin Cai insisted on her stance and then left the matter to Gu Da Chui to make the decision himself.

“I agree, I can show it to them, but if it’s not a fish, I want them to apologize to my mother.”

After the word "Mother" was uttered, the others present didn't react much, but Lin Cai, the person involved, was completely stunned.

She never imagined that Gu Dachui would call her "mother," especially in front of outsiders.

Not only had she never thought about it, but she had never even entertained the idea. Now, upon hearing this all of a sudden, Lin Cai was truly astonished.

Gu Dachui himself agreed, and the village chief hurriedly went out to call out the people from last night.
