Chapter 167 Snatching the Pouch

Lin Yuesha's unintentional remark immediately enraged Chen.

Who says a woman's only path is marriage? So what if she can't get married? She can still support her daughter for the rest of her life!

"If a man is unfaithful, we don't have to suffer in silence. Mother will stand up for you!"

After speaking, Chen's cheeks turned red. She herself was not doing well, and she could not let her daughter follow in her footsteps.

Lin Yuesha: "..."

What's wrong with her mother?

Lin Yuesha looked at her father, Xiao Chenggui, who gestured for her to be quiet and shook his head.

It was probably after Chen Dahua's marriage and tragic end that Chen was traumatized. In addition, the family made money, and Chen's personality gradually changed. Even honest people can be stubborn. Lin Yuesha was surprised that Chen could say such things.

"In short, if you don't meet a good man, don't get married. Stay with your mother."

After speaking, Ms. Chen bit her lip, reaffirming her belief.

Lin Yuesha was speechless. Her mother couldn't think like that. She was going to marry a rich man and become a superior person. The old monk was a wise man and what he said was definitely true!

The carriage was slowed down by the wind and snow, and it was already past midnight when they arrived home.

The firewood in the kitchen had gone out and was ice cold, so Chen hurriedly lit a fire to warm herself.

Back home, Lin Yuesha took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), rolled around on her small kang, and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Xiao Qi looked at a bamboo pouch in the pile of bundles and silently hung it on his body.

"My daughter made that for me."

Xiao Chenggui glared at his son and was about to reach out to snatch it, but Xiao Qi dodged far away.

"It's not suitable for you."

Xiao Qi only said four words. After thinking for a moment, in order to dispel his father's idea of ​​competing for it, he added, "The temperament doesn't match."

"Tingyun, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Chenggui was furious. He snatched the purse his daughter had made and came up with a lame excuse.

"Then tell me, what kind of temperament do I fit?"

If we don't make things clear today, the only way to resolve this is through force. My son doesn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, so as his father, I must teach him a lesson.

"stingy person."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out, leaving Xiao Chenggui alone, dumbfounded.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yuesha slept soundly. Nowhere is as good as home. If the courtyard were not her elder brother's house but her own, it would be even better.

"Big brother, you...you..."

After Lin Yuesha finished washing up, she came out of the house and saw the purse on her stepbrother's waist, which was the gift she had given to the pockmarked man.

"Thank you, little sister, I like it very much."

Xiao Qi gently patted Lin Yuesha's head, his eyes filled with a smile.

Lin Yuesha: "..."

"Brother, you've misunderstood. This isn't for him," Lin Yuesha thought, too embarrassed to say it aloud. Anyway, she figured she'd probably never see Pockmarked Face; she'd deal with it when she met him later.

"Brother, I'm still a beginner."

Bamboo is a meaningful material for purses, so Lin Yuesha thought for a moment that she should bring it back and make another one for Xiao Qi herself.

"very good."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he turned and left, not giving Lin Yuesha a chance to speak.

Lin Yuesha rubbed her face, feeling really angry, but there was nothing she could do to her cheap older brother.

Because of what she did, her mother, Chen, mistakenly thought she was bullying a kind-hearted person, which is something that cannot be explained at all.

Having returned from her impoverished life, Lin Yuesha was eager to see Jiang Baozhu. Her experiences during this period were enough to fill a book, and she couldn't find anyone to vent to.

Just then, her stepbrother went to the Jiang residence to return the carriage, and Lin Yuesha shamelessly went to visit him.

"Sister Lin, you're back!"

When the maid Xiaoxi saw Lin Yuesha, she hurriedly pulled her into the courtyard. A lot had happened in the mansion recently, and she couldn't find anyone to gossip with.

Xiao Xi was especially surprised to learn that the Xuan family had been wiped out.

Where is your young lady?

Lin Yuesha didn't come empty-handed either; the gift she brought was a set of rouge and face powder that she had bought, which she no longer needed after leaving Hanmen Pass.

"It's inside the house."

Xiao Xi pulled the person inside, where Jiang Baozhu was drinking tea. Upon seeing Lin Yuesha enter, she immediately spat out a mouthful of tea, spraying it directly onto Lin Yuesha's face.

"Sister Baozhu, is this how you welcome me?"

Lin Yuesha wiped her face with her handkerchief, looking quite helpless.

"Xiao Xi, quickly go and fetch a basin of warm water."

Jiang Baozhu pushed Xiao Xi out the door, then held Lin Yuesha's hand and looked her over from left to right, feeling that something had changed.

Where is it? They seem less naive than before, more mature now.

"If there's a change, that's good. I've been drinking Chinese medicine."

Lin Yuesha took out the prescription that the pockmarked man had given her from her bosom, wanting to share it with her best friend.

These past two days, after she finished drinking it, her chest felt warm, and she always felt like something was breaking out of its cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

This shows that the prescription is good and definitely works.

"I don't need it."

Jiang Baozhu is tall, but she doesn't want to grow any taller. Being too tall can be a source of distress for women.

"Sister Yue Sha, I heard He Xing is dead, is that true?"

Jiang Baozhu felt nothing about the massacre of the Xuan family, but she was always worried about He Xing because of her past life experiences.

Although He Xing's mother had gone mad, she hadn't seen He Xing's body and was always afraid that something might have happened and that the scoundrel would come back to harm her.

Those who made it big in their past lives died so easily?

After receiving the news, Jiang Baozhu couldn't sleep for several nights. Since it was the New Year, she couldn't very well go to the Zhang family to inquire about Zhang Qing'er.

She suspected that He Xing had faked his death.

“He is dead, completely dead. If he hadn’t died, I would be the one who died.”

When He Xing was mentioned, Lin Yuesha showed a look of disgust, but she didn't regret what she had done.

"You mean, you and a maid orchestrated all of this?"

Jiang Baozhu couldn't believe it. Reborn, she was still the same useless person, making no progress compared to her previous life. Faced with the He family, she was helpless and even tried to avoid marriage arrangements.

"Yes, Sister Baozhu."

Lin Yuesha felt that Jiang Baozhu was in the know, so she didn't need to hide it; it was enough for only the two of them to know.

Moreover, she did not initially intend to kill He Xingxuan and Yao.

"That felt great, so great!"

Jiang Baozhu clapped her hands and laughed. This was the best news she had heard since her rebirth.

Those two deserve to die!

"However, this is too dangerous. What if He Xing betrays you..."

Jiang Baozhu was terrified. Although she wasn't there, her heart was pounding just listening to Lin Yuesha's description.

"Yes, I'm glad he died at the right time."

Lin Yuesha said softly, "There are no 'what ifs,' He Xing is already completely dead."

When Xiao Xi returned with warm water, the two automatically ended the conversation.

"Sister Lin, your older brother said he went home first and will come to pick you up this afternoon."

Xiao Qi could not stay at the Jiang residence, so he asked Xiao Xi to pass on a message.

"Sister Baozhu, should I send a message to Sister Qing'er?"

Since their separation at Yutan Temple, Zhang Qing'er has been very concerned about Lin Yuesha, and it is only right and proper for her to inform her.
