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

"Yes, my lord. In addition, the girls we find have another characteristic: they are girls whose personalities have suddenly changed drastically, or whose behavior and actions are completely different from before."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan's eyes turned cold, because he already had someone in mind who met these criteria.

This reminded him of what had happened in Longxing County. If that was the case, then the person Zhao Li was looking for must be the one he was thinking of.

"Draw them away. No matter how they search or which direction they go, you go and have someone lead them away from Linjiang, as far away as possible..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bei responded with a "yes," then turned and left. Gu Zhan, clutching the note in his hand, looked quite displeased.

He knew that Lin Cai was different from before, or rather, a completely different person, which had been confirmed before, but he did not expect that other people also had their eyes on Lin Cai.

But how could that person know?

How could someone so far away know that such a change would occur in Gujia Village, and even come here in person?

Now he has secretly brought a team here. If he wants to find Lin Cai, then who gave him the order to do so?

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes dangerously. No matter who asked him to find the person, he would not let them find the person, because that person belonged to him and would only belong to him for the rest of his life.

Gu Bei walked out of the study, but was blocked again in the corridor. He looked at Gu Nan and asked, "Have you investigated the matter outside the city?"

"I haven't even asked you a question yet, and you're already asking me one. Are you not planning to tell me?"

"You also know what the master instructed you to do."

"Alright, alright, I know, I won't ask anything anymore, okay?"

After Gu Nan finished speaking, he stepped aside. Seeing that he was being so agreeable tonight, Gu Bei said, "It's for the sake of Madam."

After he finished speaking, he left. Gu Nan, who was left standing there, was still a little dazed. By the time he realized what had happened, the other person had already disappeared!

The Lin family from Fu'an Village had just moved here, and four girls came to visit. They were all quite pretty, and before they arrived, everyone in Fu'an Village saw that all the young men had taken a liking to them.

That evening, when the people of Fu'an Village saw that the four girls had all stayed at the Lin family's house, some were happy and some were sad.

The next morning, as soon as Lin's mother opened the courtyard gate, someone came over carrying a basket.

"Oh my, Aunt Lin, you're up so early too. Did you sleep well last night?"

Just as Lin's mother was about to turn around and go back into the house, she stopped when she heard the voice. She turned around and looked at the person behind her. After a couple of glances, she confirmed that she did not recognize the person.

Yes, that's right, she just doesn't recognize this person. She's only been in Fu'an Village for a few days, and it's already quite impressive that she can recognize her neighbors. She really doesn't recognize this Lin's mother at all.

"You are……"

The woman carrying the basket looked at Lin's mother and said, "Oh, I'm Da Zhong's mother!"

Lin's mother had no idea who the woman was referring to when she heard the woman say, "Oh dear, Lin's daughter, how come your memory is so bad?!"

"When you moved here that day, wasn't there a handsome young man leading the way for you?"

"That person who led the way for you, that's our Da Zhong!"

Upon hearing this reminder, Lin's mother remembered that person, but to say that he was a handsome young man, she was sorry, she really couldn't see it at all.

Is a man who looks to be in his forties but walks like he's in his sixties handsome?

She probably has poor eyesight, so she couldn't figure out what made the man in front of her so handsome.

After hearing what the other person said, Lin's mother pretended to remember and looked at her, saying, "Oh, so that person is your son!"

"You are so lucky to have such a capable son. You must be enjoying a life of luxury at home."

That's what her daughter taught her. Her daughter said that no matter how other people's children are, you should just keep praising them, and parents will always like to hear that.

Sure enough, the woman became a little embarrassed as soon as she finished speaking!

"What kind of bliss is this? That kid is driving me crazy! I'm not a kid anymore, and I don't even have anyone to care about me. I'm just glad I'm not driven to death by him!"

Hearing this, Lin's mother rolled her eyes inwardly.

I thought to myself, what does it have to do with me if your child is disobedient? You're going to be so angry, what does that have to do with me?

Is it a bit inappropriate for you to come to my house so early in the morning to say this?

But the person didn't realize there was anything inappropriate about it, and then proceeded to berate her son.

Then they started praising the three Lin brothers. When Lin's mother heard them praising her son, she was startled.

She knows her own son best; she doesn't need others to praise him. Besides, as his mother, how could she not know what those three brats are like?

Just as Lin's mother was about to change the subject, Da Zhong's mother, who had changed the subject herself, first glanced at the main room and then said in a low voice.

"I heard that several girls came to your house yesterday. Are those girls all your relatives?"

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother's smile vanished instantly. She looked at Aunt Zhong and said, "Those are my nieces. They only have a few children in their family, and their parents are on the road fleeing famine..."

“The sisters couldn’t survive, so they came to me, their aunt. You know, they are all young women, and it’s definitely not safe for young women to be out in the world.”

"As her aunt, I can't just leave it like this!"

The implication in Lin's mother's words was that she wanted to keep Hua Niang and the others at home to support them. Da Zhong's mother understood this and then said something else.

"These girls are all so grown up, why haven't they found husbands yet? They all come here to live with you. How much do they eat every day?!"

"If you ask me, you might as well just marry them off. After all, you're just an aunt. Marrying those girls off to good families would be a good way to settle them down."

Hearing this, Lin's mother frowned, looking somewhat troubled: "Aunt Zhong, I have no other choice."

“Our family is new here too, we don’t know anything about this place. Even if we were to marry off all these girls, who would they marry to?”

Lin's mother wanted to know what this woman was up to, so she went along with what the woman was saying.

Sure enough, the woman's true colors were revealed as soon as she finished speaking.

"I can help you!" Aunt Zhong leaned closer and said mysteriously, "You may not know it, but I do.
