Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Although Lin Yunlan didn't know what had happened,

But seeing everyone's anxious expressions...

In addition, upon hearing Lu Qingqing mention using an oxcart,

He quickly said:

"Then get in the car quickly, we'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, everyone climbed onto the oxcart.

Lu Qingqing gave him a grateful look:

"Yunlan, you and your second brother go with Diandian and Doudou."

The village chief and Lu Qingqing,

Flying Dragon and Flying Tiger were also sitting on Lin Yunlan's oxcart.

As Lin Yunlan drove the carriage, he asked:

"Village Chief, Qingqing,"

What happened? Why is everyone so anxious?

The village chief said excitedly:

Yunlan

A significant amount of our village's second crop of rice was stolen last night.

We were really out of options, so we asked Qingqing for help.

Qingqing, have your two little wolfhounds sniff out the rice thieves.

We had no other choice.

So I went along with the two little ones to try my luck.

Let's see if we can recover the stolen rice.

Lin Yunlan asked in confusion:

"The rice was stolen?"

Were there any traces left along the edge of the rice paddy?

For example, footprints or car wheels.

The village chief sighed:

"Sigh, we've checked it carefully."

There were no obvious traces.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so worried.

Lu Qingqing continued:

That's why I thought of letting Diandian and Doudou give it a try.

Maybe we'll find it.

Lin Yunlan nodded.

My eyes followed Dot Dot and Bean:

"No matter what, let's follow along and see what happens."

Dot and Bean led the way.

The oxcart moved slowly forward behind.

As the oxcart slowly approached the location of Zhangjia Village,

The village chief paused for a moment and said:

"This...this isn't Zhangjia Village?"

How did we get here?

Lu Qingqing replied:

Is it possible that...?

This rice thief is connected to Zhangjia Village.

Lin Yunlan pulled on the reins, bringing the oxcart to a stop.

Frowning:

"Everyone, don't panic."

Let's see which way they go first.

The villagers began to whisper among themselves, discussing the matter.

"Could it have been done by people from Zhangjia Village?"

"That's unlikely."

We've always had a peaceful relationship with Zhangjia Village.

The village chief pondered for a moment and said:

"Regardless, let's observe first and then make a decision."

Until everyone watched as Diandian and Doudou entered Zhangjia Village without hesitation,

Lu Qingqing then called Diandian and Doudou back.

She squatted down.

Looking tenderly at the two little ones, she said:

"Dian Dian, Dou Dou, don't rush, let us discuss this."

The crowd gathered around, and the village chief frowned as he said:

"Qingqing, are these two little ones okay?"

Lu Qingqing nodded firmly:

They will definitely succeed.

But we need to plan carefully.

Lin Yunlan said:

"Village chief, shall we follow them in and search directly?"

Should we observe the area outside the village first?

Everyone started discussing it animatedly, some saying:

"Why don't we just follow them in?"

If anyone asks, we'll just say it happened.

If rice is indeed found

Let's talk about the rice thieves again.

If we don't find any rice, then we'll have an excuse, won't we?

Some people say:

"So many of us went in together."

"Won't it be too conspicuous?"

The village chief began by saying:

"There are so many of us,"

Going in rashly would indeed cause too much commotion.

"It would be troublesome if I found the wrong one."

Lu Qingqing suggested:

"village head,

Otherwise, I'll go in with Dian Dian and Dou Dou to investigate first.

If we have clues about the rice and the rice thieves,

I'll come back and let you know.

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Qingqing, isn't this too dangerous?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Village chief, don't worry, I will be careful."

Besides, there are Dian Dian and Dou Dou around.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

Lin Yunlan said from the side:

"Qingqing, then I'll go with you."

Lu Qingqing nodded and said:

"Alright."

Feilong, Feihu, and Lin Erzhu all wanted to go with them.

Lu Qingqing said:

"If too many people go, it will become too conspicuous."

It's fine just me and Yunlan.

You wait outside the village to meet them.

Although Feilong, Feihu, and Lin Erzhu were unwilling,

But she also knew that Lu Qingqing was right.

He had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Then you all must be very careful."

Feilong gave his instructions.

"Do not worry."

After Lu Qingqing finished speaking, she and Lin Yunlan...

Follow Dian Dian and Dou Dou as they walk into the village.

The crowd outside the village watched their retreating figures with bated breath.

He silently prayed that the stolen rice and the thief would be found.

Lin Yunlan and Lu Qingqing followed Diandian and Doudou into the village.

It didn't attract much attention.

Walked to the base of a big tree,

Lu Qingqing said:

"Yunlan, let's rest here for a while."

Let Dot and Bean go and scout ahead first.

We'll go with them when they come back in a bit.

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing with a puzzled expression:

"Will this work?"

Lu Qingqing gave him a reassuring look:

"OK."

Then, Lu Qingqing patted Diandian and Doudou's heads.

Said:

"Dian Dian, Dou Dou, I'm leaving this to you two."

Dot and Bean said:

"Mother, please wait here."

We'll be back in a bit.

After saying that, Dian Dian and Dou Dou ran away in a flash.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan found a clean spot under the big tree and sat down.

Lin Yunlan was still somewhat worried:

"Qingqing, will they be able to handle it?"

Lu Qingqing patted his hand:

"Don't rush, trust them."

Not long after, Diandian and Doudou returned.

Two small dogs followed behind.

With Lin Yunlan beside her, Lu Qingqing couldn't speak.

Dot and Bean said:

"Mother, we've found rice!"

These two are new friends of ours.

They knew where the rice was.

They took us to see it.

And that rice thief was actually their village chief.

The rice is currently hidden in the village chief's backyard.

Lu Qingqing was overjoyed.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

But things quickly returned to calm.

She gently patted Dot and Bean's heads.

They gestured to each other with their eyes to keep quiet.

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing's expression,

I had a feeling that I might have made an important discovery.

But Lu Qingqing didn't say anything.

So he temporarily suppressed his doubts.

Lu Qingqing whispered:

"Yunlan, let's go back first and discuss a solution with everyone."

then,

They brought Dian Dian, Dou Dou, and the two puppies.

They quietly left the village.

I'm going back to gather everyone.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan walked up to the village chief and the others and said:

"Village chief, we have a lead!"

Let's all go together.

The village chief asked anxiously:

"Really? Tell me!"

Lu Qingqing lowered her voice:

"Dian Dian and Dou Dou have been found."

The rice stalks were in the village chief's backyard.

The crowd erupted in uproar and said angrily:

"It was their village chief! How despicable!"

Lin Erzhu also clenched his fist:

"Let's go, let's catch him red-handed!"

Feilong quickly stopped him:

"Everyone, please don't act rashly."

If so many of us go together, what if we alert the enemy?

It's troublesome if he moves the rice.

"Let's sneak over there, surround his house, and then go inside."

Everyone agreed, nodding in agreement.

So, led by Dian Dian and Dou Dou, a group of people...

They walked cautiously toward the village chief's house in Zhangjia Village.

Upon arrival,

Lin Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

When Zhang Fu, the village chief of Zhangjia Village, opened the door, he saw that it was Lin Feng who had arrived.

I was immediately startled.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

His eyes were filled with panic, and he stammered:

"Lin...Lin Feng, what brings you here?"

Lin Feng sneered:

"Village Chief Zhang, how have you been?"

Zhang Fuqiang feigned composure and forced a smile:

What brings you here?

at this time,

Dian Dian and Dou Dou immediately ran into the yard.

When everyone saw Dian Dian and Dou Dou go inside, they immediately said:

"Village Chief Zhang, look, our dog went inside."

We'll go in and bring them back.

Ignoring Village Chief Zhang's objections,

Everyone immediately followed Dian Dian and Dou Dou to the backyard of the village chief's house.

Zhang Fu immediately shouted anxiously:

"Stop right there! You're trespassing!"

Come back here!

Unfortunately, it was too late; everyone had already rushed inside.

Finally, the missing bags of rice were spotted.

"It's our rice! It's here after all!"

Someone shouted angrily.

Zhang Fu closed his eyes in despair.

He knew he could no longer deny it.

Lin Feng stepped forward, stared at Zhang Fu, and said:

"Village Chief Zhang, why did you do this?"

I don't remember ever offending you.

Zhang Fu gritted his teeth and finally stopped hiding it.

He said loudly:

"Hmph, it's all because of you, Lin Feng."

I don't know what kind of incredible luck you had.

Your village is actually able to grow two crops of rice!

I heard that the county magistrate intends to promote you to the position of judicial officer.

I am not satisfied!

In terms of seniority and ability,

In what way am I worse than you?

This right should have rightfully belonged to me.

With you interfering like this, how can I possibly maintain the right path?

If there's a problem with the second crop of rice in your village...

The magistrate will definitely blame you.

Then this rightful place is still mine!

Lin Feng's eyes widened in disbelief:

"Just for this reason"

How could you do such a petty and despicable thing?

"It harms the interests of both our villages!"

Lu Qingqing said angrily from the side:

"Village Chief Zhang, your mind is far too narrow."

Even if you become the righteous one through such improper means,

Will it be convincing to the public?

Zhang Fu was starting to feel a little regretful.

He muttered to himself, head down:

"I was just angry at the time."

She knew she couldn't let Lin Feng succeed.

That's why I did such a wrong thing.

The surrounding villagers all criticized Zhang Fu:

"You're being incredibly selfish, prioritizing your own desires."

They completely disregarded everyone's lives.

"That's right, our village lost its rice because of poor care."

If the county magistrate were to blame me for this,

We don't know how to get through this.

Zhang Fu listened to the accusations from the crowd,

His face turned pale and then red, and he wished he could disappear into the ground.
