After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.

The uncle and nephew of the Zhang family were arguing fiercely, neither willing to give in, and Zhang Sanye would occasionally chime in, creating chaos inside and outside the Zhang family courtyard.

Everyone was happy to see them fighting like dogs, and watched the show quietly with great interest, too lazy to say anything to persuade them. However, there were still some sarcastic remarks, such as from Old Lady Wang.

Zhang Xiaolin glared at Fourth Master Zhang.

From the moment he started talking, he felt that his fourth uncle's behavior was very abnormal.

They usually just stand by and watch, but today they actually volunteered to go in and search the house together, claiming it was to help monitor the situation. What a load of rubbish!

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that this was a trap set by his fourth uncle!

"This doesn't belong to my family."

Upon seeing what Li Quanfu was holding, Zhang Xiaolin immediately denied it.

"Zhang Laosi must have stolen the things. Now he's trying to take advantage of the situation to put them in my house and frame me." Zhang Xiaolin even forgot to wail and stopped calling him "Uncle Si".

He cursed loudly: "For so many years, Zhang Laosi has been secretly making trouble for my father, and now he's even setting his sights on me."

Even Master Zhang's usually calm and composed face showed a hint of panic at this moment.

He was right to want to keep the secret recipe.

He had no son, only a daughter who married into the next village, but her life wasn't very good. If he had this secret recipe, he wouldn't be afraid of his daughter suffering in the future if he started a small business. Perhaps he could even ask his daughter for help in taking care of him in his old age.

Now that it has been discovered, this thing has become a hot potato. Forget about taking advantage of it; he doesn't even want to touch it.

However, since Zhang Xiaolin showed no regard for their kinship and took this opportunity to frame him, why should he maintain this precarious uncle-nephew relationship?

He pondered for a moment, then quickly calmed down and, as always, retorted slowly and deliberately: "How could it be mine? If I had stolen it, I would have hidden it properly. Now that I don't even leave the house, why would I bother coming into this mess? Besides, all the evidence has nothing to do with me."

"This thing was taken from the woodpile, so it naturally belongs to the Lin family. Quanfu, look, there are still places on it that are wet with snow water. It's obviously been sitting in the snow for a long time. If it were taken from my sleeve, it wouldn't have gotten wet so quickly, right? Quanfu, you need to look carefully."

Li Quanfu observed carefully and found that what Master Zhang said was indeed true. He also felt that Master Zhang was right. "Master Zhang is right."

The onlookers nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.

Uncle Zhang usually acts like a great philanthropist in the village, always trying to make peace. Although he doesn't actually help people, he rarely offends anyone. He's better at putting on an act than his two older brothers, and his words don't cause any further conflict with others. No one would deliberately try to undermine him.

Everyone was willing to believe what he said, but Zhang Xiaolin still cursed outside, "What a load of nonsense!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Third Master Zhang pulled Fourth Master Zhang aside and asked what was going on.

Zhang Siye's angry expression turned into helplessness. He sighed with deep regret and said with a face full of self-blame, "It's my fault. I was too obvious. I originally wanted to help Xiaolin keep it a secret, but I didn't expect that a little girl would find out."

His words, though seemingly insincere, sounded genuine beneath his facade.

Master Zhang was convinced of this, and turned his gaze to Xu Zhuzhu, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's that brat again! She's always causing trouble for the Zhang family. We'll deal with her one day!"

Xu Zhuzhu, who was following Li Quanfu, suddenly felt two cold gazes on her. She looked around and saw that the two old men from the Zhang family were staring at her intently. She curled the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly.

Third Master Zhang snorted coldly and glared at her. Fourth Master Zhang met her gaze and smiled, appearing kind and amiable, though a hint of coldness lurked in his eyes.

Xu Zhuzhu also became wary and stopped smiling, quickly running to her parents' side.

Li Quanfu didn't have time to deal with them. He quickly put the items away and delivered them to Xu Wenjie and his wife so they could identify them.

Unexpectedly, the couple glanced at it and both exclaimed in surprise, shaking their heads in confusion, "This is not ours."

Zhang He immediately released Zhang Chenshi's hand and stepped forward to gently rub the cloth bag. "Doesn't the village chief know our family's situation? This fabric is extremely fine; it's not something we can afford."

Zhang Xiaolin, who was keeping a watchful eye on things, immediately started rolling his eyes when he heard this. He hadn't stolen anything, so it was no wonder they couldn't find anything on him.

He stopped cursing and immediately listened intently for a while before hurriedly proving himself, "I told you I didn't steal it, you surnamed Xu, you've been wronged, I'm going to the yamen to sue you!"

Xu Wenjie glanced at him but ignored him.

Li Quanfu disagreed, saying, "Regardless of what kind of cloth it is, it's not normal for this thing to be in the firewood pile. Whatever it is, we'll find out by opening it up. If it's not what we're looking for, we can just return it."

Xu Wenjie lowered his gaze, glanced at Zhang Xiaolin who was eavesdropping, and said meaningfully, "You can't say that. Since it's not obvious that it belongs to our family, what if it's a good thing that Second Master Zhang put away himself? Village Chief, you should think twice."

Some people in the crowd were getting dizzy listening to this. "Really, what's all this commotion about? They found something but won't open it. If that's the case, why are they crying and making a scene?"

Zhang He and Xu Wenjie exchanged a glance, pretending not to have heard, and said nothing.

Zhang Xiaolin, who was busy figuring out how to shift the blame to Master Zhang, didn't have time to think about all that. But his ears immediately caught Xu Wenjie's words about "good stuff," and his expression froze.

He always knew that his father had been hiding some money from him, but every time he went home and asked his mother, she would shake her head and say she didn't know. He had also secretly searched his father's room, but he had never found anything.

Now, hearing them say that even the cloth bag was made of unusual material, I think it might have been his father's secret stash of money.

Zhang Xiaolin was smug, but still thinking about that "good thing," and hurriedly said to Zhang Chenshi, "Mother! That's something my father hid. Bring it over quickly. If anything in our family needs to be opened, it should be us opening it."

He's being held back right now, otherwise he would have rushed up and snatched it away.

Zhang Chenshi looked bewildered. Her husband had hidden something, but he wouldn't tell her where he hid it. He would tell her that he had hidden something, but she had never seen this thing before and didn't know if it was hidden by her husband.

However, seeing her son's resolute expression and his constant urging, she hesitated but still approached with some doubt. However, she didn't take it, but rather asked Li Quanfu to help her open it in order to prove her son's innocence.

"Quanfu, why don't you open the document and show it to everyone? We can't just accept whatever people say it is or deny it. We're an innocent family."

Li Quanfu had this intention all along; even if Zhang Chenshi hadn't said anything, he would have opened it anyway. But now he had a perfectly legitimate reason.

Seeing Zhang Xiaolin's reaction, Master Zhang felt something was wrong. Could it be that the bag didn't contain what he stole? But after searching the entire house, only this cloth bag was unusual.

But what's with Zhang Xiaolin's expression, like he's discovered a treasure?

Before he could think any further, Li Quanfu had already opened the cloth bag.

A pungent, exotic fragrance filled the air, like a tight net, rushing towards the onlookers.

Li Quanfu was so affected by the fumes that he kept sneezing.

Looking up, Master Zhang saw that the crowd who had been craning their necks to watch the commotion were now tightly covering their mouths and noses, while Zhang Xiaolin, who had been so excited just moments before, had changed drastically. He stared at the flower wrapped in Li Quanfu's hand, too shocked to even breathe.

"This...this! How could Second Brother hide something like this? This is a capital offense!"

Zhang Sanye, who was standing to the side, also cried out in surprise, his voice trembling.

Master Zhang seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his gaze to Xu Wenjie.

Although Xu Wenjie also looked surprised, the calmness in his eyes told him that all of this was inextricably linked to them.

No wonder they went to great lengths to come to their second brother's courtyard early in the morning to cry and make a scene. But their second brother has never harmed them, so why is the Xu family acting like this?

He naturally knew nothing about what was happening in town.

Zhang Xiaolin also realized what was happening and angrily pointed at Xu Wenjie and Li Quanfu, shouting, "It was you! It was all of you!"

Xu Wenjie looked puzzled, his eyes full of innocence. "What happened to us?"
