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

“That’s easy to say. You’ve already called me uncle, so as your uncle, I’ll definitely help you.”

Lin Bao was clearly smiling at the children, but they were still frightened to tears by him.

Amidst the crying, the child stammered out his story and handed over the hair tie.

"Alright, stop crying. Tell me, who told you to do this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the children stopped crying. Apart from the wetness on their eyelashes and the redness on their noses, it was hard to tell that they had cried.

The children stopped crying and it was time to answer the questions. Lin Bao asked the oldest child among them to answer.

"I don't know who it is, I just know it's a woman, her voice isn't pleasant, and her eyes aren't pretty either."

"You could only see a pair of eyes on that woman; she was completely covered up."

"Yeah, yeah, it looks terrifying, all you can see are those eyes."

"If you all find it scary, then why are you helping?"

All the children lowered their heads upon hearing this, and then they whispered, "She...gave us candy."

Lin Bao clicked his tongue: "Pathetic, you're bought off with just a piece of candy."

The children wanted to argue, but because the person opposite them was Lin Bao, none of them dared to speak up.

Lin Bao knew he couldn't blame them; the children in the village were all poor, and being able to eat a piece of candy would make them happy for a whole year.

He roughly knew who the person they were talking about was, but he couldn't understand why that woman, who had become like that, still wouldn't stop!

Gu Jiao'er thought that the little lesson she had taught would only be noticed by someone, but she didn't expect that after just one night's sleep, all the stubble that had grown on her head had fallen onto the pillow.

Seeing her head bald again, Gu Jiao'er completely broke down: "Why? Why? Why are you doing this to me?"

Gu Jiao'er went crazy in her room, and everyone in the Gu family heard it, but no one went to check on her.

Li Guixiang, who had fainted from anger, felt her heart ache when she woke up and thought about what she had heard and the money she had spent.

She woke her husband up: "Gu Jinniu, get up! This family is on the verge of collapse, and you still have time to sleep here?"

"I'm telling you to get up right now, or you won't be able to live like this anymore."

"What's all this noise about? Can't a person just get some sleep? It's raining heavily outside, what am I supposed to do if I can't sleep?"

"Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep. I might as well let you sleep yourself to death."

"Your good nephew knows how to earn money to support his family, but you, the uncle, are still sitting here eating away at our savings. This is unbearable..."

Gu Jinniu had recently heard about the Gu family's affairs, but that was their business, and he didn't want to know or care.

Although it was his brother's child, so what? His brother had already moved out, and it had nothing to do with them anymore. He didn't need to meddle in other people's business.

Gu Jinniu was different from his two younger brothers, or more accurately, from everyone else in the Gu family.

He only wanted to live his own life well and raise his son to be successful. He had no interest in how other people were doing.

But his wife, Li Guixiang, was completely the opposite of him. Li Guixiang couldn't stand seeing others do well, and whenever she saw someone doing well, she wanted to pull them back to her side.

She has already set her sights on Gu Dachui and is unwilling to give up, planning to drag her husband along to have a talk with him.

But Gu Jinniu refused to cooperate and even warned Li Guixiang.

"You damned woman, let me tell you, you better behave yourself. The third son's family's property belongs to the third son's family. It has nothing to do with us, and even less to do with you."

"If you take advantage of your status as my wife to make things difficult for the third son's family, I'll divorce you."

"Well, Gu Jinniu, after all these years, you've finally told the truth. You just can't stand me, you just don't want to live with me, and you've been looking for an excuse to send me back to my parents' home for a long time, haven't you?"

Gu Jinniu certainly didn't mean that, but in order to keep Li Guixiang in line, he simply nodded in agreement as Li Guixiang said.

Then the two started arguing. Outside, the rain was pouring down, and inside the house, the couple was arguing loudly.

Lin Cai knew nothing about what was happening at the Gu family's place, because she was busy with Sanhu's trip to the academy.

Originally, they were supposed to send him to a private school. Lin Bao found two private schools, and Lin Cai went with him to visit them, but the environment there was really quite rudimentary.

Lin Cai simply took a one-step approach and sent the person directly to the academy.

However, it wasn't easy to get into the academy. After making many inquiries, Lin Cai finally got some information about the dean.

It turned out that the dean was someone she knew.

In order to help Sanhu enter the academy smoothly, Lin Cai made several kinds of pastries that she had never made before.

Just as she took the pastries out and put them on the table, an old man walked over.

"Young lady, why are you so late? I was so worried that this old man thought you weren't coming."

"I made two extra cakes, which took a little longer than usual at home. Please forgive me, sir."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, staring intently at the pastries on the stall: "You said you've developed a new product? Is it these two? What are they made of?"

There are two different pastries next to me, one white and one orange-red. They look tempting, but I wonder how they taste.

Lin Cai looked at the two pastries and introduced them, saying, "These are my newly made tofu cake and sweet potato cake."

"Sweet potato cake is made from sweet potatoes, so is this tofu cake made from the new tofu that's recently come from Longxing County?"

"Yes, it's made with tofu. Besides tofu, some other things are added, so it has the fragrance of tofu, as well as other flavors."

Lin Cai described the taste of both pastries in such an enticing way that everyone present couldn't resist trying them.

There were only two pastries, and several of them couldn't tell them apart. The old man took the initiative and said he wanted to buy both pastries.

Following closely behind was Manager Lei of Baixiangzhai, who also wanted the two pastries, and then the others followed suit.

Seeing that they were about to start grabbing, Lin Cai told them to calm down: "Everyone, please calm down. I only have two pieces of cake. So many of you want them, I can't just give one to one person."

"However, I do have a solution, but I don't know if you're willing to accept it."
