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

Zhao Laidi hit and cursed at the same time, and Gu Yinniu was so beaten that he didn't know how to fight back.

He didn't know what had happened to his wife outside, or if she had lost a fight outside, otherwise why would she be hitting him now that she was inside?

It really hurt, so Gu Yinniu shoved her away: "Zhao Laidi, what's wrong with you? I didn't offend you, why are you hitting me today?"

After being pushed away, Zhao Laidi stopped rushing to hit people and just sat on the ground crying.

On the other hand, Bai Xiang Zhai had his men investigate the situation thoroughly and immediately sent them to resolve the problem, but the men from Bai Xiang Zhai arrived too late.

Those families disappeared for some reason; their homes were still there, but the people inside were gone.

After asking the neighbors, no one knew where the person had gone. Since they couldn't find the person, they had no choice but to go back and tell Manager Lei.

When Manager Lei heard that no one was there, he assumed that they had realized their scheme had been exposed and were afraid that Bai Xiang Zhai would cause them trouble, so they left overnight.

To his utter surprise, those people not only didn't leave, but they also came to Gujia Village.

When Gu Dachui opened the door, he was startled because there were several people sitting in front of his house.

They huddled together for warmth, squatting at the door without knocking or speaking. When they heard the door open, one of the men stood up.

"You're finally out! You're finally out! If you hadn't come out, my mother would have frozen to death."

As the man spoke, he glanced at the old man who had been leaning against him. The old man was being held in the arms of another woman, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that both of their bodies were trembling.

Gu Dachui looked at the men and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

"Who are we? We are the people who have been ruined by your wife. If it weren't for your wife, we wouldn't be in this situation now."

Upon hearing the man mention his wife, Gu Dachui's expression immediately changed, and he glared fiercely at the man.

“My wife has been at home these past few days and hasn’t gone out at all. She doesn’t know you at all.”

"She doesn't know us, but we know her."

The speaker was the woman holding the old woman. She raised her head and looked at Gu Dachui: "Your wife is a heartless wretch. She'll do anything for money. Shouldn't you come to her when my mother has a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dachui finally realized who they were, and immediately blocked the doorway: "You are the people who caused trouble at Baixiangzhai."

“We are not causing trouble, we just want justice, simple justice.”

But these people gave them nothing and attacked them directly. If they hadn't been lucky, they might be dead by now.

Upon hearing this, Gu Dachui's first reaction was to retort: ​​"Impossible, you're talking nonsense. Manager Lei of Baixiangzhai would never do such a thing."

“My wife isn’t lying. We all escaped overnight. It wasn’t just us; they did the same thing.”

It turns out these people weren't a family; they had all run away overnight to find their way here.

Hearing the commotion outside, Lin Cai asked Gu Dachui to invite the people in. After lighting a charcoal fire to warm the room, she then let them tell her everything.

The man's wife had always taken care of her mother-in-law, but now that her mother-in-law no longer needed her care, she glanced at her husband and told him everything that had happened the night before.

“We just thought we should get some money, but we didn’t expect it to be just some minor problems. We were even thinking of just letting it go.”

"But who knew that just last night, we had just turned off the lights and gone to sleep when we heard the sound. If we hadn't run fast, we would be dead by now."

The woman started crying as she spoke, while Lin Cai just stared at them without any expression on her face.

Hua Ni, listening from the side, felt sorry for the woman and even wanted to cry along with her, but only Lin Cai and Gu Dachui felt sorry for her.

One had a blank expression, while the other frowned.

“Sister-in-law, you said someone attacked your family yesterday. If you hadn’t left, you would all be dead by now.”

"Since that's the case, they must have been carrying knives. I just want to ask, how did you manage to escape from their knives with your whole family in tow?"

They were with the elderly, children, and women. Although the women weren't exactly frail, it was impossible for them to escape unscathed from a large knife.

Besides, the other party came for their lives. If they saw people and just ran away, they could easily slash a couple of times and cut them, right?

However, everyone in these families had perfectly intact clothes, without a single wound or tear.

So how exactly did they manage to find Gujia Village unharmed from the thugs' knives?

Upon hearing this, the men's expressions changed, and one of the women said, "Sister, do you not trust us?"

"Do you think we're lying? Do we really need to risk our families and our lives like this?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that what you say and how you are now are really hard to believe."

"I know you got sick from eating pastries from Baixiangzhai, but do you know that not all of Baixiangzhai's pastries were given to them by me?"

"If you get sick from eating the pastries, it's the pastries' fault. The pastries weren't bought from me, so there's no use in you coming to me."

"But wasn't it you who taught them to do it? Since you taught them to do it, shouldn't you take responsibility now that there's a problem?"

They were getting impatient, as if they were determined to firmly place this hat on Lin Cai's head and never be able to take it off again.

Lin Cai looked at them and smiled slightly: "I taught them, so what?"

"So what does it prove that I taught them?"

"Although I haven't been to school, I know the saying, 'The apprentice leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.' I taught my apprentice, and my apprentice taught others. How would I know if they would do as I taught them?"

Lin Cai said this with a smile on her face, and none of the families could refute her.

Because it wasn't just Lin Cai who knew; they knew it too.

"But you made these things, and we only got sick because we ate them. Don't you bear any responsibility at all?"

Before Lin Cai could finish speaking, someone exclaimed, "Huh? Am I hearing things? Why am I hearing such bizarre words?"

Lin Bao walked in from outside. Seeing a large group of people in the main room, he went to the brazier to warm himself while asking questions.
