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

But he didn't ask anything. He trusted Lin Cai and believed that she wouldn't do anything to her younger siblings now.

Lin Cai noticed the panic in Gu Dachui's eyes and went in, saying, "Sanhu has gone to the academy and will only come back twice a month."

“I sent Chunhua to Caixiu Pavilion to study under a master. She can come back anytime, and we can visit her anytime.”

Gu Dachui was very happy to hear that his younger brother had been sent to study at the academy. Even though his brother only came back once a month, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Later, he heard that his younger sister had been sent to learn a craft from a master at Caixiu Pavilion. He asked uncertainly, "Is it Caixiu Pavilion in town that makes clothes and embroidery?"

"Of course it's that one. Otherwise, would there be another Caixiu Pavilion in our town?"

The one speaking was Scarface; he had actually been awake for a while and had been listening to them talk the whole time.

When he heard Lin Cai say that she would send the two children to school and have them apprentice under a master, he couldn't help but speak up.

"You have no connection with them whatsoever, so why are you treating them like this?"

Scarface was a little curious. Given Lin Cai's brothers' abilities, if she wanted to leave the Gu family, it would be as easy as turning her head.

But why didn't she leave, and instead helped them?

Lin Cai did not answer his question, but instead told Gu Dachui not to go to town for the next few days.

Now Gu Dachui listens to Lin Cai in everything. When he heard her say not to go to town, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Scarface clicked his tongue, earning a knife in return. He then said, "Hurry up and heal your wound. Get out of here now. My family doesn't support freeloaders."

She finished speaking and left, leaving Scarface, who was still in the yard, completely dumbfounded.

He turned to look at Gu Dachui: "Is it too late for me to go back now and pretend I never saw her?"

Gu Dachui shook his head. He had already seen it all; pretending to be blind was futile.

Two days was the agreed time, and when the two days were up, Lin Cai did not see anyone from the Lin family.

Gu Zhan appeared on his own initiative. She looked at the person in front of her and said, "What, are you here to tell me not to worry about them, that they're doing fine?"

I've seen that kind of thing a lot before; aren't all those melodramatic dramas like that at the beginning?

But in the end, the heaviest and most painful things all came rushing in at once, eventually driving a perfectly healthy person insane.

She wasn't that kind of person, nor did she want to be, so she looked at Gu Zhan and said, "If you're really going to tell me that, then I advise you to keep quiet."

"No, I just wanted to tell you that they're back and they're at the Lin family's house now. You can see them anytime."

Lin Cai didn't doubt it when she heard this, but she was completely relieved after seeing the person.

When Lin Bao saw his sister, he breathed a sigh of relief and was then pulled out.

"Stop trying to fool me. Tell me what really happened. How are my eldest and second brothers now?"

Before he could even speak, all the words he wanted to say were cut off by his younger sister, who looked at Lin Cai with a serious expression.

Lin Bao had no choice but to tell the truth: "My eldest and second brothers are fine now, and things are basically fine at home too. We've been visiting them these past few days, but we didn't tell you because you don't like it."

But Lin Cai didn't believe this, not entirely. She just didn't believe that they were really only going to see the Lin brothers, Lin Long and Lin Hu.

If that's really all there is to it, then why keep it from her?

Even if she really didn't want to go, they could still say so, right?

Seeing the suspicious look in his sister's eyes, Lin Bao wanted to run away. It seemed that the girl had suddenly become more perceptive since the last time.

In the past, no matter what they said, that girl would believe it without questioning it.

But now that he's speaking so earnestly and truthfully, this girl is looking at him with suspicion.

Remembering his parents' instructions, Lin Bao could only bite the bullet and say, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, why don't we go ask our parents?"

"You'd better not lie to me, or else..."

"I know, I know, you don't need to be so explicit. Besides, you're my sister, I would never lie to you!"

“They’re both really fine. We only stayed there for two days. When Mom and Dad heard you were worried about us, we came back immediately.”

After a while, the brother and sister returned to the house. Lin's mother looked at her daughter and pulled her into the room.

After the man was taken away, Lin Bao went limp. Looking at his father, the inexplicable sense of grievance instantly intensified.

When Old Man Lin saw his son's aggrieved look, he shook his head. As soon as he shook his head, Lin Bao's face fell.

Inside the room, Lin's mother said exactly the same thing as Lin Bao: they had gone to town and, knowing Lin Cai didn't want to go, hadn't told her.

Lin Cai thought for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Are they badly injured?"

The answer they received was: "No, they're all fine, how could they be injured?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai responded indifferently, but her suspicions only intensified.

The person in front of her was Lin's mother, so there shouldn't be any problems. However, her answer made Lin Cai suspicious.

After returning to the Gu family home, Lin Cai went straight to the woodshed, carrying a wood-chopping knife in her hand.

Scarface, who was resting, heard a noise approaching and opened his eyes to find a wood-chopping knife held directly to his neck.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Let's talk this out. What are you doing? You're a young lady, just talk. Using a knife is not a good thing."

"I don't want to resort to violence either, but some people simply won't tell the truth without using some underhanded tactics, don't you think?"

"Hey Lin, are some of the people you're talking about me?"

Lin Cai did not answer him, her eyes fixed on him, and she did not move the machete in her hand even an inch.

Scarface saw that the girl was serious about him, so he wasn't afraid and just lay there: "Ask me anything you want to know. I'll answer what I can, but I can't help you with what I can't answer or don't know."

Can you guarantee that all your answers are true?

"My life is in your hands now. If I answer falsely, do you think I'll ever leave your house?"

What he said was true, but Lin Cai didn't think so. He said he could answer everything he knew and could answer.

Who knows whether his answer was true or false?
