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

Along the way, Ershi obediently let Lin Cai lead him back, only cautiously glancing up at her once.

"Don't be afraid. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell your mother," Lin Cai reassured him, noticing his little gestures.

Ershi lowered his head and cautiously glanced at his hand that was being held.

Their hands, which had never done heavy work, had no calluses, unlike their rough hands.

The stepmother's hands were warm, like being soaked in lukewarm water, and I didn't want to be possessed by a ghost and feel cold.

Ershi pondered, "'Mother' is probably not some wandering ghost, she's a monster?"

Lin Cai had no idea that the child had already 'confirmed' her identity.

There was no medicine in the refrigerator, so he took out the copper coins that the original owner had hidden, intending to ask Da Chui to go to the village doctor later to buy some medicine to reduce swelling.

After giving Ershi a simple treatment, apart from the missing tooth, Lin Cai discovered that the injuries inflicted by Aunt Pang were not as severe as the injuries left on Ershi by the original owner.

Her collar was torn, and there were bruises under her thin, protruding collarbone; some crescent-shaped cuts from her fingernails had already scabbed over.

A short while later, Da Chui rushed back. He was furious to learn that Er Shi had been bullied, but there was nothing he could do. He took the money Lin Cai had given him and went to get the medicine.

Lin Cai then kneaded the dough and made some egg pancakes.

Ershi, on the other hand, didn't care about the injury on his face at all, and just spent more time looking at Lin Cai.

On one hand, she was afraid that her stepmother would suddenly disappear, and on the other hand, the original stepmother would return.

He was also afraid that the monster might secretly eat the four of them, as he had heard that monsters loved children the most.

He was wary of Lin Cai, yet he couldn't help but want to get closer to her.

...

The next day.

Lin Cai walked to the market. The food in the refrigerator was all consumables; once she ate it, it would be gone. She planned to go to the county town to exchange it for some money to save.

"Ugh, it's so hot..."

After walking for a while, Lin Cai looked around and, seeing no one on the road, opened the refrigerator and took out a drink.

"Hmm, I wonder if we can put these things in the refrigerator?"

Lin Cai's eyes lit up, and she broke off a tree branch from the roadside and put it in the refrigerator.

The tree branch was put into the refrigerator.

Lin Cai suddenly realized she could make money without having to risk exchanging the food in her refrigerator for cash.

only……

She hadn't prepared anything, so she had to give up for the time being and rest for a while before walking around.

As I walked, I heard footsteps behind me.

Lin Cai turned around warily, and saw a burly man over 1.8 meters tall carrying... a wild boar!?

Wild boar?

Lin Cai belatedly looked at the man's face. His face was mostly covered by a thick beard, with only a pair of exceptionally sharp eyes coldly staring at her.

"Step aside!"

His tone was cold, his voice deep and magnetic, carrying an inexplicable air of authority.

This was the first time Lin Cai had ever seen such a wild man. Although she couldn't make out his exact features, those sharp, deep eyes...

Seeing her blocking the way, Gu Zhanfeng frowned slightly and said in an increasingly cold tone, "Get out of the way."

As he spoke, he impatiently shook the wild boar on his shoulder.

Hey?

Lin Cai immediately realized that this was the hunter who had tried to extort money from someone by snatching a wild boar from another person, only to be killed by the boar.

Judging from the way he looked at her, did he think she was some wild boar trying to extort money from him again?

Lin Cai felt a burning sensation on her face and stepped aside to make way for him.

Seeing her make way, Gu Zhan didn't look at her again and carried the wild boar past Lin Cai.

Lin Cai followed behind, but gradually she couldn't keep up with the man carrying the hundred-pound wild boar until his figure completely disappeared from sight.

"Long legs are nothing special!"

Lin Caichui patted her own short legs with envy and jealousy. The original owner of this body had flat feet, and her feet would ache terribly after walking a short distance on a mountain path.

When the sun was high in the sky, Lin Cai finally arrived at the city gate. People dressed in hemp and brocade were going in and out of the city gate, creating a unique scene.

Lin Cai sighed inwardly as she entered the city, where various vendors' cries rose and fell from both sides of the street.

After walking around the busiest street, Lin Cai found a quiet corner and took out the least noticeable eggs from the refrigerator.

When storing food, these eggs are bought in whole trays.

A tray of eggs contains 30 eggs. Lin Wei bought four trays and put them in the refrigerator. Now she took out two trays.

The tray for holding the eggs was made of paper scraps; apart from its somewhat eye-catching shape, the material itself was nothing unusual.

Lin Cai then took two trays of eggs and found a spot on the street to sell them.

Eggs kept in the refrigerator returned to normal temperature after being exposed to sunlight.

Lin Cai had just asked about the price of eggs; one egg could sell for about three coins.

Lin Cai's modern egg was a size or two larger than this ancient egg.

As soon as they put the eggs out, passersby immediately gathered around, asking, "Young lady, how much are your eggs?"

"Three coins each."

"Give me ten!"

"I'll take twenty!"

"I'll have ten too!"

"..."

Immediately, the pedestrians surrounding her quickly took out money and stuffed it into Lin Cai's hand, afraid that they would miss out if they were a step too late.

Other shops charge four or five coins for slightly larger eggs, and they don't even look as big as this egg.

Lin Cai didn't prepare any straw for placing the eggs, and the aunties and older women didn't mind either, immediately paying and choosing their eggs.

Neither of them mentioned that such large eggs cost an extra one or two coins.

"Wife, this egg holder is quite convenient. How did you make it?" someone asked curiously. Lin Cai casually replied that it was made by her elders.

The sixty eggs were quickly sold out, and those who missed out felt cheated and slapped their thighs, asking Lin Cai when she would come back to sell eggs again.

"Why are those damned bastards here again?!"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Are you out of your mind?!"

The people selling goods next to him looked embarrassed and cursed under their breath. Lin Cai turned her head and immediately met the eyes of the man who was leading the group and had his chest exposed.

The man frowned slightly, strode forward, and said in a deep voice, "Little sister, what are you doing here? What are you doing?"

Lin Cai's lips twitched slightly. She glanced at the group of hooligans behind the man, who looked like scoundrels and were clearly not good people. She called out to the man, "Third Brother."

Lin Bao didn't recognize the egg board and said with a fierce look, "Out of money?"

Lin Cai was squatting on the street where stalls were set up, clearly selling things.

"I have..." Lin Cai felt a little uneasy. First, she was afraid of being discovered that she was not the original owner of the body. Second, there was really no good person in the Lin family, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them.

"Hey, buy whatever you want and head back to the village. What are you doing running around all alone, young lady?" Lin Bao pulled out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Cai's hand.

Lin Cai lowered her head, holding a few pieces of silver and a dozen copper coins in her hand.

Not too much, not too little.

"Hurry up and hand over the protection money, or I'll have to go door to door collecting it!"

Lin Bao turned his head and started yelling menacingly at the surrounding merchants.

Lin Cai: ...

The loose silver in her hand was so hot that she almost threw it away.

Damn it, can't she just completely sever ties with the Lin family?

"Third Brother, I don't need the money. You can take it back."

Lin Cai chased after him and returned the money, even showing Lin Bao the money she had spent on eggs.
