Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens
Chapter 8, picked up casually
When the girl heard that the village chief had arrived, she quickly said, "Village chief, we've caught the person. What do you think we should do next—send him to the authorities or...?"
Before she could finish speaking, everyone around her told her to drown him. Hearing those two words, Lin Cai's heart skipped a beat.
Immediately afterwards, the two people behind her pushed her to the other side, while the people carrying Xiao Chunhua, the three brothers of Da Chui, and the Lin family members were all blocked outside and could not squeeze in.
Lin Cai was led to the riverbank, and when she saw that they had even prepared ropes and pig cages, she knew that they had come prepared.
Village chief Gu Dafu was also a bit confused. Didn't they just say they were looking for someone?
The person has been found, so it should be over. How did it escalate to this point?
And when is he going to drown Gu Linshi?
Putting aside whether the matter has been clarified, Gu Linshi has already returned, yet she is not even given a chance to explain herself, and this is the way a corrupt official would act.
Several villagers who were making a scene were about to stuff Lin Cai into a pig cage. Lin Cai refused to cooperate and was beaten as a result.
When the village chief saw this, he went over to stop them, but before he could get close, he was pulled back.
“Village chief, what are you doing? This is what she deserves. Lin Cai did such a bad thing, she deserves to be punished.”
Lin Cai, who was beaten so badly she couldn't lift her head, wanted to curse when she heard this.
What the hell did she do that deserves such a terrible sentence? They didn't even let her explain before sentencing her to death. Are they sure this isn't a frame-up?
Lin Bao and his group were blocked at the back. They were very anxious when they heard what was being said in front of them, and so was Xiao Chunhua.
She finally had a mother, and she absolutely cannot let her go like this. If she loses her mother, will she ever have another mother in the future?
She got off the person she was holding and used her small size to squeeze through the crowd.
When she saw Lin Cai lying on the ground, she immediately rushed over: "Mother, Mother, look at Xiao Chunhua!"
"Waaah, Chunhua isn't hungry anymore. She won't eat rabbit or meat anymore. She won't eat anything. Mom, please don't leave me... Waaah!"
The little girl's crying stopped everyone. When they saw Xiao Chunhua lying on Lin Caishun's back, sobbing uncontrollably, the whole group was stunned.
"Didn't you say you were going to sell it?"
"Isn't it gone forever?"
What's going on?
Someone asked the question, and everyone wanted to know the answer. The person who had been holding Xiao Chunhua finally squeezed through with Lin Bao.
"Why are you all so fast? You didn't even let me finish speaking before taking her away. Lin Cai didn't sell the child. The child is still here; I'm holding her!"
Knowing the truth, everyone looked at Lin Cai on the ground, and Lin Bao quickly ran over and picked up his sister.
His older brothers weren't home, so besides their parents, he was the only one there. Holding his frail sister, Lin Bao coldly swept his gaze over everyone present.
Ultimately, the blame fell on the girl who initially claimed that Lin Cai had sold the child.
"Although Lin Cai is already married, she is still a member of the Lin family, and still my most beloved sister."
“I don’t care what you’re thinking, but I know my girl isn’t that kind of person. This isn’t over yet, understand?”
Lin Bao carried the child away, and Lin's parents followed, supporting each other. Xiao Chunhua was held in her older brother's arms and wanted to chase after him, but her older brother stood still.
"Chase after her! Big brother, hurry and chase after her! Mother has been taken away! Big brother, quickly carry me and chase after her!"
But Da Chui stood still without moving an inch. The village chief glanced at all the villagers, and finally his gaze fell on the girl who had just spoken.
He shook his head slightly and left without saying anything.
Lin Cai, who was brought back to the Lin family, lay on the bed with a furrowed brow and didn't speak. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but that she couldn't.
Her body is too weak right now. She was in excruciating pain after being hit a few times. It felt like all the bones in her body were falling apart.
She originally thought that since the original owner grew up in the countryside, she should have a strong physique, but she never expected that the original owner's body was so weak!
Seeing Lin Cai frowning and speechless, Lin's mother burst into tears: "It's too cruel! How could they do this? You're a girl, how could they be so cruel?"
"Cai Cai, it's all my fault. Your teacher's wife didn't take good care of you. Cai Cai, I'm so sorry..."
Hearing these repeated apologies, Lin Cai wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out. Despite her efforts, she couldn't utter a single word, so Lin Cai gave up!
The sound of Lin's mother crying reached the main room, and Lin's father and Lin Bao, who were inside, were also heartbroken.
Then Lin's father placed a silver ingot on the table: "Go quickly, go to town and invite a doctor over. No matter what, saving your sister is the most important thing."
Looking at the silver ingot, Lin Bao glanced at his father again, then grabbed the silver and ran out.
Money can be earned back, but if you lose your sister, it's truly gone. So, your sister is the most important thing, and everything else is unimportant.
The doctor came in the middle of the night, examined the patient, left a prescription, and left.
The next day, when Lin Cai saw a bowl of dark medicine in front of her, she was completely dismayed!
"Cai Cai, be a good girl, drink this whole bowl, and your third brother will give you candy."
Lin Bao stood in front of the bed with a bowl in one hand and candy in the other, coaxing Lin Cai to drink the medicine like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Lin Cai rolled her eyes and turned her gaze from the medicine bowl to her third brother's face.
"Third brother, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"No, how could you think that? You're a grown adult, how could I possibly treat you like a child?"
"Then what about the candy you took?"
“I just thought that after you took the medicine, you might want to eat something. There aren’t many things to eat at home, and this is one of them, so I just grabbed this.”
Lin Bao claimed he just grabbed it casually, but Lin Cai didn't believe him at all. Given Lin Bao's doting on the original owner, he would never do anything casually if it involved the original owner.
Lin Bao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his younger sister, so he quickly moved the medicine bowl forward: "Stop looking, drink it quickly, you can't escape anyway."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai pouted unhappily, took the medicine bowl, glanced inside, and then, as if going to her death, pinched her nose, closed her eyes, and finished it in one gulp.
Lin Bao, who had been standing by and waiting for the right moment, quickly threw the candy into the mouth of Lin Cai, whose face was scrunched up like an old woman after she had just finished her medicine.
