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

She had someone lean against the tree for a while, then put the basket down and covered it with some weeds.

They went over and helped the person up again, then went down the mountain.

Before we even reached the bottom of the mountain, I heard someone next to me ask, "What's in there?"

"Something valuable."

"If I lose it, do I have to compensate you?"

"Of course, that's very valuable."

"I think I'm out of money."

When Gu Zhan said this, there seemed to be something else in his tone, but Lin Cai didn't notice it.

"It's not my business."

"Could you give me some more time?"

"How long will it take you?"

"Six months, just give me six months."

Lin Cai led the person down the mountain. Because the person was injured and could not be seen by others, she had to choose another route.

Fortunately, this person lived in a remote place, a place that few people had ever heard of before, and no one noticed the two of them when they returned to the courtyard.

Lin Cai placed the person on the bed, and looking at his all-black clothes, her face was full of disgust.

She just couldn't understand why these men loved wearing black. Was it because they had been stabbed and were bleeding, and black clothes couldn't be seen, so they liked wearing black?

Lin Cai shook her head speechlessly. This was something she couldn't understand, but if it were someone she wanted to protect doing such a thing...

She would definitely throw all of that person's clothes into the Huangpu River.

A strong smell of blood filled her nostrils, and Lin Cai realized she needed to treat the wound.

But just as she was about to reach out, she stopped and quickly withdrew her hand: "Um, I brought you back, your injury..."

Lin Cai wanted to go and call her third brother over to treat his wounds.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"You handle this for me."

"What? No, no, no, how can I help you with this? No, no, absolutely not."

In modern times, this would be absolutely no problem, but here, Lin Cai really doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone.

The rules regarding men and women are extremely strict here. Even just holding hands is considered shameless if seen by others.

If people found out that Lin Cai had stripped Gu Zhan of his clothes, she would surely be drowned.

"If I say you can, then you can."

Gu Zhan insisted.

Lin Cai was also annoyed.

"Just because you think I can do it, does that mean I can? What makes you think so?"

"Although I have a bad reputation, I still have a sense of shame. I don't want to associate with..."

"You hate me."

It wasn't a question, and it successfully rendered Lin Cai speechless.

His deep, calm eyes stared at Lin Cai. Unable to bear his gaze, Lin Cai sat directly on the edge of the bed, staring at her toes.

"I don't hate you, I hate all those messy rules."

In the end, Lin Cai still treated Gu Zhan's wounds. The medicine she used was one she had picked herself, the one she had gathered by the roadside when they came back from the mountain.

While applying the medicine, Gu Zhan casually remarked, "You have excellent eyesight."

But he turned into a glare because he had said something wrong, or at least Lin Cai thought he had said something wrong.

Her eyesight is terrible; if it were, she wouldn't have missed the danger time and time again, nor would he have saved her so many times.

They would never knowingly do something they shouldn't!

Having lost both her basket and machete, Lin Cai could only return home empty-handed. When Xiao Chunhua saw Lin Cai return, she immediately rushed over happily.

"Mom, why are you only coming back now? It's almost dark, and if we come any later we won't be able to see the road."

Lin Cai, who was in a bad mood, picked up Xiao Chunhua and said, "No, even if it gets dark and I can't see the road, Xiao Chunhua will come to pick me up, right?"

"Yes, Mother is right. I will come to pick you up, no matter how late it is."

The little girl's words were so heartwarming, much better than someone else's. Lin Cai returned empty-handed, and no one asked her anything. After everyone arrived, the family started eating.

Feeling depressed, Lin Cai didn't sleep well all morning. When she woke up the next morning, she saw Gu Dachui and Ershi, who had gotten up early, gathered in the yard, looking at something.

Several heads huddled together in the yard. Lin Cai walked over and glanced at them but didn't see them, so she took two steps back and coughed.

"Ahem, what are you all looking at?"

Upon hearing the sound, the group immediately separated, and as soon as they did, Lin Cai saw what was in the middle.

She walked over and looked at the black lump in the middle: "Where did this come from?"

Isn't this the yam she painfully threw away yesterday?

Aren't these yams grown on the mountain?

Why did you suddenly run into the yard?

Xiao Chunhua pointed outside and replied, "Big brother brought it back from outside."

Then Gu Dachui said, "I brought it back from outside this morning. I don't know who left it at the door. I saw it as soon as I opened the door."

She already knew who had put it there after hearing that, but she didn't know whether the person had taken it themselves or had someone else take it.

But he was injured. If he went to get it himself, wouldn't his wounds have to be bandaged up again?

Lin Cai suddenly felt a little worried about that person, so she asked Gu Dachui to carry all the yams on the ground to a corner.

She noticed there were many more yams than she had dug up herself yesterday.

Knowing that it must have been Gu Zhan who dug it up, Lin Cai couldn't help but worry again.

Throughout the morning, she was somewhat absent-minded while doing her work. After lunch, Lin Cai made an excuse to go back to her parents' home.

When I went back, I was carrying a yam with me.

No one knew that she hadn't gone back to her parents' home, but had instead gone to that secluded little house.

In the past, Lin Cai was still grumbling about how Gu Zhan didn't know how to take care of himself, knowing that he was still injured and running around everywhere, which was really annoying.

She went into the yard and saw that the door inside was not closed properly, so she assumed someone was home.

But when she went inside, she didn't see anyone. Lin Cai put the yam on the table and went to the kitchen to look for it again.

"Wasn't he injured? He had so many wounds, and you just applied medicine yesterday. Where did he go now?"

"So much medicine was wasted yesterday, and now she's running around everywhere. Her wound is bound to reopen. How can she be so inconsiderate of herself!"

Lin Cai was muttering to herself in the room, completely unaware that someone had come in. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Gu Zhan standing at the door.

Seeing the person at the door, Lin Cai was startled and glared at them: "Don't you walk silently? Standing there without saying a word, who are you trying to scare?"

"The door was opened as soon as I got home. If I hadn't heard your voice, I would have thought a thief had broken in."

"Ha, do you think your house is a palace with gold and silver treasures? In a place like yours, even the bowls are broken. Do you think thieves would bother with it?"
