Lin Cai only wanted a few dozen kilograms of mung beans, red beans, and peas, and that was all the beans from several families.

She had just received the beans she ordered when people from Gujia Village came over to inquire.

The person who came over was the village chief's wife. She was carrying a vegetable basket when she arrived at the Gu family's house.

"Tie Niu's family, are you busy?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Cai looked up and said, "Aunt Wang, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

"Seeing how busy you are, I won't beat around the bush. It's just that someone recently saw your third brother harvesting some beans, so they asked me to come and ask..."

Lin Cai thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be this. She wiped her hands and said, "It's red beans, mung beans, and peas. I asked my third brother to find these three kinds for me."

"What's wrong? Does anyone in Gujia Village have this? I thought none of them did!"

She did it on purpose; she deliberately didn't look for those three types of beans in Gujia Village because she didn't want to.

Although this is also where she lives, she really doesn't like the people here, and she doesn't have the idea that if one person gets rich, the whole village will get rich.

She would rather walk a longer distance, find more people, and search for what she wanted outside than look for it in Gujia Village.

The village chief's wife, unaware of Lin Cai's thoughts, simply voiced all the questions that people wanted to ask.

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai laughed and said, "It was my fault. I should have asked them first."

“That’s right. After all, we’re from the same village. Whether we buy from someone else or from our own village, it’s the same thing. Why bother going the extra distance?”

"Yes, yes, Auntie, you're right..."

"And what about you now? There are many people in Tie Niu's village who have all those beans you mentioned. How about I help you get them all..."

The village chief's wife became excited as she spoke, and even wanted to call someone over. She was so excited because she also had one at home.

When those things were first planted, they were used to fill people's stomachs. Later, when there was grain to eat, who would want to eat that anymore!

But that's not grain, it doesn't taste good, it can't be sold, and it's almost getting infested with bugs if left at home.

Now that someone wants to buy, they are of course happy to sell, but she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Aunt Wang, I don't want it anymore. My third brother bought enough for me. I don't have the money to buy anything more, so..."

Upon hearing this, the village chief's wife's expression immediately changed; she thought of the faces of the people who had summoned her earlier.

They sent her here to ask questions, wasn't it just because her husband is the village chief?

She had personally come to ask Lin Cai what was going on, so why was the Tie Niu family refusing?

Lin Cai always had a smile on her face, whether she was speaking or refusing. Just as she finished saying her refusal, several heads appeared at the door.

"Hey, Tie Niu's family, how could you do this?"

“You’re from our Gujia Village, how can we let other villages make money off you?”

"If you don't buy the things we have in Gujia Village, you can't buy them in other villages either!"

"That's right, how could you be like this, you little widow? How could you be so vicious? I was thinking of selling those things to buy some meat for my children."

"Who says otherwise? That little bit of stuff isn't good to eat at home, it's almost infested with worms. I was thinking of selling it to treat myself, but now we have nothing left."

Hearing what was being said outside, Lin Cai's expression turned sour. She looked at those people and their ugly faces.

"It's my money, and I'm free to buy from whomever I want and wherever I want."

"What is your freedom? I think you are just wicked. You just don't want to give us the money. No wonder Tie Niu died right after you married into the family. Maybe it's because you are wicked that God couldn't stand it and made you a widow."

“A woman like you who caused her husband's death right after getting married, even if you were sent to a brothel, no one would want to take you... Ah... Lin Bao, what right do you have to hit me?”

"I can't stand your foul mouth anymore, okay?"

After Lin Bao finished speaking, he struck again, and immediately a chorus of wails erupted. Lin Cai neither stopped him nor ordered him to stop.

She turned her clear eyes to the village chief's wife: "Village chief's wife, if it were you, would you buy things from someone like this?"

The village chief's wife was speechless. She had heard what they had just said, and she never expected that these people would say such nasty things.

If you're going to watch a play, then watch it. Why do you have to be so sarcastic?

If someone doesn't want to buy from you, then don't buy from them. Why are you launching personal attacks against them?

The village chief's wife left, and the people watching the show outside also left. The man who had been beaten had a bruised and swollen face, and his leg was also crippled.

As he left, he limped, not forgetting to turn back and threaten Lin Bao: "Lin Bao, you just wait, I won't let you get away with this."

"I'll wait then. I'm not afraid of you, Third Master. I'll definitely wait for you. Just remember to come early."

After making those harsh remarks, he was pulled into the main room and sat down. When he saw his younger sister trying to treat his wounds, Lin Bao quickly put his hands behind his back.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it doesn't need any treatment."

"You just cleaned up a dirty thing, aren't you going to disinfect it? If you're not going to disinfect it, then you can't eat the food I make later."

"No, no, absolutely not. How can I not eat what you made? It's just sterilization, right? It definitely needs to be sterilized."

As Lin Bao spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on the table, immediately feeling a cool sensation on it.

Seeing his younger sister carefully tending to his wounds, Lin Bao felt a pang of heartache.

"Little sister, your third brother is fine. He just got a minor scrape. He's been fighting since he was a kid and has bled a lot. This is nothing."

“I didn’t see it then, so it wasn’t my business, but now that I’ve seen it, I can’t ignore it.”

Lin Cai didn't say anything extra, only that she couldn't stand it, and Lin Bao immediately shut up upon hearing this.

After a while, Lin Bao looked at his hands, and then at Lin Cai who was packing her things.

Lin Cai couldn't stand his hesitant manner any longer: "Just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to beat around the bush or overthink it."

Lin Bao was taken aback by his words, and immediately asked the question he wanted to ask: "Aren't you angry?"

After Lin Cai put her things away, she turned to look at him.

"What's there to be angry about? Why should I be angry? They have mouths; they can say whatever they want, who can stop them?"

"The reason they talked about me like that and spoke ill of me was simply because they were jealous. They were jealous that I had money and that I didn't spend it on them."
