Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...
Wangjiacun
Aunt Wang's eldest and second aunts were waiting at home for Lin Jianguo to bring his men.
I thought Lin Jianguo was bringing several families with the surname Lin, but I didn't expect that all the able-bodied men from the entire Lianhua Brigade would come!
The sight was so spectacular that the people of Wangjia Village rushed to find the village head.
Actually, Grandma Lin originally only planned to invite someone with the surname Lin to go along.
Unexpectedly, when the aunties and grandmas of Lianhua Brigade saw that Lin Yu was going to come and fight, they all volunteered to go with him.
That trip they took before really gave them a taste of success.
With Lin Yu's fighting skills, they would only be there to watch the show and wouldn't get hurt at all.
Besides, Lin Yu usually gets along very well with them, and the older women are happy to help her when they know she needs someone.
Even Tie Dan and Xiao Bao's friends wanted to go along, but Lin Yu refused.
What is she doing taking a bunch of kids with her?
Besides, the children's parents are all here, so there's no need for these Boy Scouts at all.
However, the educated youth settlement knew about this, and Lin Yu's good friends Song Meili and Ou Manqing also followed along.
Without saying a word, Gu Yunze immediately stood beside Lin Yu and instructed her, "Be careful later, don't get hurt."
Lin Yu rolled her eyes at him: "I can get hurt? Don't look down on me."
Gu Yunze said helplessly, "Fine, it was my fault."
Seeing the two talking, Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward to separate them: "Gu Zhiqing is here too, thank you for your help."
Gu Yunze nodded to him: "You're welcome."
They were almost at Wangjia Village, and Lin Yu quickly ran to her uncle's side.
Lin Yuan walked with Gu Yunze and warned, "Gu Zhiqing, my sister is our family's treasure. If anyone dares to have any bad intentions towards her, our Lin family will not let that person get away with it."
Gu Yunze nodded: "Okay, I understand. I won't let anyone who bullies her get away with it."
Lin Yuan: Does this person not understand human language?
-
The Wang family was called out and stood at their door.
They saw a large group of people standing on the opposite side, like two armies facing each other. Their side only had five people from one family, so they lacked the imposing presence in terms of numbers.
So the Queen Mother could only ask ingratiatingly, "My dear in-law, it's been a long time. What brings you here?"
Grandma Lin sneered, "Mother-in-law, my foot! Didn't your family plan to remarry Wang Zhaodi?"
"Oh dear, it's because your family doesn't want her anymore. I was thinking that she's still young, and she can find a good one and live a good life."
Grandma Lin raised an eyebrow: "How come I heard that the woman you found for her had beaten her to death?"
"That's all nonsense. He's just a man with a bit of a temper, which is normal. Besides, she's just my own daughter, how could I possibly harm her?"
"So you're saying I'm meddling in other people's business? Wang family, do you even remember? Wang Zhaodi is still a daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Who gave you permission to marry her off?"
Grandma Lin became increasingly angry as she spoke, "They asked me for ten yuan as a bride price back then, and now they want to take my daughter-in-law away like this. You Wang family members, you really know how to calculate things well."
Mr. Wang quickly stepped in and said, "My dear in-law, this is something we can discuss. Why did you need to bring so many people? We shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public."
Grandpa Lin still smiled and said, "These are all our brothers and sisters from our brigade, who came with us to pick up our daughter-in-law. They are not outsiders."
Sometimes, it's precisely this kind of naivety that's most infuriating.
At least Wang's father was so angry with Grandpa Lin that he didn't know what to say.
Wang Chuanzong discussed it with his parents and a few others. Wang's mother then said, "Mother-in-law, since the two children are not destined to live together, we should return the ten yuan betrothal gift to you."
"But since you've given birth to three children, Zhao Di has done her part, so how about we refund you five yuan?"
Grandma Lin was so angry at this family's shamelessness that she laughed. What kind of pig brains would come up with such a method?
Lin Aiguo also shook his head; this family was simply beyond redemption.
At this moment, Wang An, the brigade leader of Wangjia Village, also came over.
On the way there, Wang's aunts had already explained the whole thing to him, and he also heard the last few words spoken by the Wang family.
Wang Andu wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear. How could such a shameless person be from their brigade?
But there was nothing he could do; the Wang family was one of his own, and when the Lianhua Brigade came knocking, he had no choice but to side with the Wang family.
"Captain Lin, what are you all doing here? Let's talk this out."
They absolutely mustn't fight, or both of their captains will get criticized.
Lin Aiguo offered him a cigarette: "Captain Wang, don't worry, as long as we can communicate, we will never fight."
It means if you can't communicate, then you fight.
Captain Wang knew that the Wang family was in the wrong, so he said to Wang's father, "Don't go too far. She's someone else's daughter-in-law. What right do you have to marry her off?"
Mr. Wang insisted, "My daughter was unhappy in the Lin family, otherwise she wouldn't have come back to her parents' home. It's normal that she doesn't want to go back now that she's back. We just want her to marry someone better and live a good life in the future."
Lin Yu felt like throwing up after hearing those words; what a doting father's heart!
So she asked, "Uncle Wang, could you please let my second aunt come out and explain herself?"
Wang's father's face stiffened as he remembered Wang Zhaodi, who was tied up in the woodshed: "She...she's resting and doesn't want to see any of your Lin family members."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Really? Or was she injured and can't get out?"
The Wang family members looked flustered; it was clear they felt guilty.
Captain Wang gritted his teeth: "You really hit someone? Don't let it escalate to the point of causing a death."
"No, she only suffered a minor injury," the Queen Mother hurriedly said.
Now everyone present knew that Wang Zhaodi had been beaten, which was why she hadn't come out.
The Wang family felt guilty and knew they couldn't let them see Wang Zhaodi, so they blocked the door and insisted on returning the five yuan dowry so that Wang Zhaodi could remarry.
For a time, the two sides were deadlocked.
Lin Yu blinked and slipped to the back.
The Wang family was confronting Grandpa and Grandma Lin, and no one noticed her.
So Lin Yu climbed over the back of the Wang family's house and ran into the woodshed next to the kitchen.
Then they saw Wang Zhaodi, who had been injured on the head and was tied up with hemp rope.
"Second Aunt," she called out.
Wang Zhaodi had a slight fever, and in her delirium, she seemed to see Lin Yu.
She thought she was dreaming because Lin Yu was strong and she felt that she could save her, which was why she dreamed about her.
Lin Yu approached her and called out again, "Second Aunt."
Wang Zhaodi woke up: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you're here! Please save your second aunt."
Lin Yu touched her forehead; it was a little hot. It seemed things needed to be resolved quickly.
"Second Aunt, wait for me a moment. I'll take you home in a little while. Don't worry."
For some reason, Wang Zhaodi felt much more relaxed after hearing what Lin Yu said.
She gave a weak smile and said, "Okay, I understand."
Lin Yu went out of the woodshed, went to the kitchen, grabbed an iron basin, and started banging on it.
"Everyone come quick! The Wang family has killed someone! The Wang family has committed heinous crimes!"
