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

“Cai’er, you’re here. Quickly try to persuade your second brother. I know you’ve been wronged in this matter, but there’s no need to report it to the authorities. Can’t we just resolve it ourselves?”

"Solve it yourselves, that sounds nice, but how exactly do you mean 'solve it yourselves'? Don't you mean we should just stay silent, not say anything, and not pursue the matter, and just swallow our anger?"

Lin Hu interrupted the village chief, his face grim. These people were becoming increasingly shameless.

They've already come to his house, and he's still expected to swallow his anger? Is Lin Hu that kind of person?

Has he been away for too long and not come back, causing them to forget what kind of people they really are?

Lin Hu was unwilling to let the matter rest, so the village chief could only place his hopes on Lin Cai, as could the others. They all hoped that Lin Cai would say she would not pursue the matter further.

Under their gazes, Lin Cai walked into the house. Seeing the tofu mixed with mud on the ground, she was very unhappy.

After looking at it, she turned to the people outside and said, "These things belong to my family, but I'm already married. My parents made them. Doesn't the village chief think he's asking the wrong person?"

Lin Cai spoke calmly and simply, explaining that she couldn't control the matter.

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face turned grim.

“Cai girl, you can’t say that. You also have the surname Lin, and this is the Lin family home…”

“Yes, I also have the surname Lin, but I’m already married. I also have three older brothers and a married daughter. If I were to take care of my maternal family’s affairs, what would my brothers think of me when they get married?”

She refused to get involved in the matter, and no matter what the village chief said, she could always find an excuse to refuse.

In the end, the village chief had no choice but to watch Lin Hu, but Lin Hu was unwilling to back down at all.

As they left, Lin Hu told them they only had one day left, and if no one admitted it within that day, they shouldn't blame him.

After everyone left, Lin's mother looked at the tofu on the ground and started crying again. That was all money! How could they waste it like that!

"Alright, Mother, stop crying. Nobody expected it to turn out like this. Second Brother is catching a thief, isn't he? Once he catches the thief, we'll break his legs."

"Breaking his legs isn't enough. We need to make sure he can never get up again. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on us in our house has a death wish."

Lin Bao cleaned up all the tofu on the ground, packed it all out and dumped it. When he came back, he saw Lin Hu at the door and stepped aside.

But Lin Hu blocked his way, not letting him move at all. Knowing what this person wanted to do, Lin Bao could only stand obediently in front of him without moving.

"Second brother, this has nothing to do with me. I had something to do yesterday, that's why I didn't come back. Otherwise, how could I have..."

"Don't explain to me. Explaining is just covering up, and covering up is the truth. The truth is that you didn't come back last night, which led to the thief getting into your home. So this is also your fault."

"Yes, it was my fault, but it wasn't my fault at all. I didn't expect this to happen last night..."

Lin Bao stopped halfway through his sentence, realizing he had been tricked into revealing information. Seeing the expression on Lin Hu's face, Lin Bao put down what he was holding, turned around, and ran away.

While running, he kept shouting, "Second Brother, I was wrong, I really didn't mean it, I really had something to do last night."

"But don't worry, I will definitely find that thief from last night and make him work like a slave for our family for the rest of his life."

He could feel a sense of oppression when facing his older brother, but he didn't feel that way when facing other people.

He arrived at the gate of Gu Zhan's courtyard, and without saying a word, he pushed open the door and went inside.

"You son of a bitch surnamed Gu, you've got me killed, do you even know that?"

Lin Bao pushed open the door but didn't see anyone, so he went straight into the house. He saw the person sitting by the window, writing something, so he walked over and put his hands on the table.

"You surnamed Gu, you've got me killed, do you even know that?"

He had barely finished speaking when everyone in front of him stared at him expressionlessly and said, "Still breathing."

"Of course I'm still breathing. If I weren't breathing, I would really be dead."

"What I just said was just a metaphor. Do you understand metaphors?"

Damn it, it was because of this guy that I didn't go home last night, which is why my house was burgled without me even knowing it.

If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have been suppressed so badly by the second brother today.

“I’m telling you, Mr. Gu, it’s because of you that our house was robbed yesterday. All the tofu my parents made was ruined. You have to compensate me for this loss.”

Gu Zhan looked at him expressionlessly without saying a word, but his expressionless face said it all.

Who is Ke Linbao?

If he's so easily intimidated, then he might as well give up.

"Don't look at me like that. Anyway, you're going to compensate me for my losses, and this matter is also related to you."

He had just finished speaking when he heard a thud on the table, followed by a piece of silver jumping on the table.

Upon seeing the silver, Lin Bao turned his face away: "What do you mean? You think you can get rid of me with this paltry sum of silver? My little sister's idea, the tofu my parents made, are they really worthless?"

He had barely finished speaking when there was another thud on the table, this time with a small gold ingot worth ten taels.

Seeing the small gold ingot, Lin Bao still didn't reach for it. He just turned his face and said, "Oh dear, so my little sister's idea, and all those delicious tofu dishes, are only worth ten taels of silver!"

Without even guessing, you could tell from his sarcastic tone that Gu Zhan was talking. He glanced at him indifferently, then took out a 50-tael silver note and placed it in front of him.

Lin Bao was finally satisfied when he saw the silver notes in front of him. Just as he was about to take them, he was stopped.

"What do you mean? Wasn't it for me? You've already changed your mind after I gave it to you?"

"My food for a month."

He said he had some requirements, but they were quite simple, and Lin Bao immediately patted his chest to guarantee them.

"No problem, no problem. It's just a month's worth of food. I'll definitely bring you different delicious food every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hands that had been holding the silver notes released their grip, and Lin Bao, having received the silver notes, quickly stuffed them into his pocket.

He jumped up and walked outside, saying, "My second brother wants to catch this thief, and my little sister is very angry too. I have to go!"
