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

"During my recovery, there was no one to do the housework or the farm work, which disrupted our livelihood. But these things shouldn't be counted in the calculation, right?"

“My son Huaguo wants to eat well every meal. Since I broke my leg, I can’t find him good food every day. But if I go to town to buy food, it’s free, isn’t it?”

Li Dazui rattled off a long list, explaining that every single item required money.

In the end, the person who calculated the amount still felt that fifty taels of silver was too little. However, since the person was compassionate and saw that the Gu family had so many people, they figured it wouldn't be easy for them to come up with fifty taels of silver, so they didn't ask for more.

Those present were shocked by Li Dazui's shamelessness. If Lin Cai were there, she would definitely give him a warm round of applause.

Lin Bao laughed in anger after hearing this. It seemed that the other party had completely forgotten what he said that night!

But that makes sense, it's just a few words, isn't it?

It's nothing valuable; it's good enough that people heard it, how could they possibly remember it forever!

Lin Bao was also a little annoyed. He had known all along that they wouldn't remember, so he should have made a deep impression on them back then.

If you have a deep impression, your memory will be deep, and there will be no reason for you not to remember it.

Li Dazui stated how much he wanted, and Lin Bao neither objected nor said anything, so she assumed they had agreed to her request.

Just as she was secretly pleased, Lin Bao called out to Gu Dachui.

"Hey, I left in a hurry today and didn't bring any tools. Can I borrow your hoe for a bit?"

Gu Dachui didn't know what he was going to do, but after hearing what he said, he still lent him his hoe.

After Lin Bao got the hoe, he lifted it a couple of times and felt that it felt okay, so he dug a couple of times in the soil.

Then he nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Li Dazui on the ground.

"Auntie Big Mouth, I agree to your request, and I will give you an extra fifty taels of silver."

"But my money didn't grow on trees, and I'd be unhappy if I just gave it away for nothing."

"If you want those fifty taels of silver, I can give them all to you, but you have to fulfill one request of mine."

Upon hearing this, Li Dazui's eyes lit up instantly. Her mind was completely focused on the hundred taels of silver, and she didn't care what Lin Bao might ask for.

"Third son of the Lin family, is what you said true? You really will give me a hundred taels of silver, you're not lying?"

"There are so many people watching here. They all heard what I said. Besides, I, Lin Laosan, am a man of my word. I never go back on my promises."

With this guarantee, Li Dazui was delighted and wanted to ask Lin Bao what his requirements were. Lin Bao looked at Li Dazui with a smile.

“My request is simple. Your leg is broken, isn’t it? Let’s break it completely. Anyway, we have a hundred taels of silver. Even if you lose a leg, you shouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing.”

Before she could even finish speaking, Li Dazui's face turned pale instantly. She stared at the hoe Lin Bao was holding, as if the hoe was already digging her up.

She looked at Lin Bao in fear, remembering what he had just said: one hundred taels for a leg. He meant he wanted to break her leg.

Startled, Li Dazui quickly pulled his legs back and shakily got up.

"No, no, no, I... I don't want the money anymore! I don't want my leg broken! I don't want to become a cripple..."

She got up from the ground, and everyone saw that her leg was fine; there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

Ershi was furious when he saw this. He said that the crazy woman was lying and that she had not even examined the woman's legs.

Lin Bao had no intention of letting him go so easily. Just as Li Dazui was about to run away, Lin Bao used his hoe to snag Li Dazui's clothes.

"Auntie Big Mouth, how could you do this? How could you go back on your word and break your promise?"

"Didn't we agree that one leg would be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver? I already said I'd give you one hundred taels of silver, and you've already agreed, so you have to leave your leg behind!"

"Your broken promises and going back on your word will put me in a very difficult position!"

He spoke in a very gentle tone, almost as if he were discussing something with you, but to Li Dazui, it sounded like a curse that would break his leg.

Fearing that Lin Bao would really break her leg, she screamed desperately, pushed Lin Bao away, and ran away.

The entire ridge was filled with Li Dazui's frantic shouts; everyone could hear them, it was all...

"I don't want the money anymore, I don't want my leg broken, I don't want the money anymore, I don't want my leg broken..."

The people working in the fields nearby, having witnessed the commotion, laughed upon hearing these words.

"She deserves it. She wants all kinds of money and tries to extort everyone. She doesn't even realize who she's trying to extort."

"That's right! Don't they have any self-awareness? They're causing trouble and trying to extort money from others in the fields. The Hua family really has a death wish."

Ever since Lin Hu returned and caused such a ruckus in the entire Gu Family Village, no one in the village dares to provoke the Gu Family or Lin Cai anymore.

Especially Lin Cai, basically anyone related to her, good or bad, everyone would weigh the pros and cons together.

Of course, if the Gu family had any good news, they would absolutely not dare to go unless Lin Cai asked him to inform them.

Besides, Lin Hu is gone now, but isn't there still Lin Bao in Gujia Village?

The third son of the Lin family started to frequently visit Guijia Village, and they could often see Lin Bao on the road when they went out.

Although Lin Bao was not as ruthless as his two older brothers, if Lin Laosan were really provoked, he would be no pushover.

Isn't Li Dazui the best proof?

The work in the field wasn't finished yet, so Gu Dachui and his younger brother started tidying up the land. Lin Bao picked up a fresh blade of grass, put it in his mouth, and lay down on the ridge next to the field.

He had just closed his eyes and lay down for a while when he heard a rustling sound. Before he could even open his eyes, the light on his face was blocked.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl, as thin as a bamboo pole, holding a huge leaf in her hand, blocking the light shining on his face.

"What are you doing?"

He must have been startled by his sudden speech, because the leaf in her hand trembled.

Hua Hua steadied the leaf in her hand, looked down and saw that Lin Bao had opened his eyes. When she met his eyes, Hua Hua trembled again.

Lin Bao had no idea what the little girl was up to. After asking her questions and receiving no answer, he closed his eyes.
