Chapter 280 Lin Yuesha Gets Beaten

After a day of tidying up, the An family of three stayed on the estate to tidy up and renovate the greenhouse according to Lin Yuesha's request.

Lin Yuesha went to Jiang Baozhu's small village along the way. The two houses were only a few miles apart, and the road was flat and wide. It only took a short time to get there by carriage.

"Miss Lin, what are your plans for the Fang siblings and Gu Yi?"

With the estate sold and the once-stalled "Strongman Rice Bucket" siblings gone, Yellow Teeth felt refreshed and decided to treat himself to a few drinks that evening and a bowl of perfectly marbled braised pork.

"Although the indenture is in my hands, it was originally purchased for the Jiang family. After completing the formalities, I sent the person directly to the Jiang family."

As for the An family of three, they have experience growing vegetables in greenhouses, and they can't leave the estate for the time being. If Jiang Baozhu's side isn't enough, we can buy a few more people.

After Lin Yuesha and Huang Yaren finished their business, Lin Yuesha returned home with the newly acquired house and land deeds, only to find that her parents had already returned.

"Mother, is the courtyard in the village finished?"

When Lin Yuesha saw Chen Shi, she immediately grabbed her arm and acted coquettishly.

It was already the end of the third month of the lunar calendar, and it was time to get the family shop up and running. She had been researching a lot of snacks recently, but she hadn't taught Chen Shi how to make them yet.

“It’s not finished yet, but your mother is worried about you being all alone in the city, so she insisted on coming back early.”

Xiao Chenggui gave Lin Yuesha a wink, signaling her to quickly hide from Chen Shi and go back inside to talk.

“I’m doing well in the city. I have servants to take care of me, so Mother, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Lin Yuesha didn't see Xiao Chenggui's expression, but she sensed that something was off. Chen's face didn't have its usual gentleness, and she thought that she might have learned of Xu's bad news.

"Little girl, kneel down!"

Chen frowned and said sternly.

"mother?"

Lin Yuesha was confused. Why was she being made to kneel when it wasn't a holiday or festival? Besides, she hadn't done anything wrong.

Kneel down!

Seeing her daughter's innocent face, Chen became even angrier, her eyes reddening as she spoke.

"Honey, can't we talk this out? It's not that serious."

Xiao Chenggui grabbed Chen's arm, but Chen shook him off. She stared at Lin Yuesha, still holding a feather duster in her hand.

At this moment, Lin Yuesha realized that her mother, Chen, was serious.

"Mother, why are you making me kneel down?"

Lin Yuesha thought it over and couldn't figure out what she had done wrong that would make Chen Shi angry. Her mother had always been gentle and never raised her voice when speaking to people.

"You're still asking me?"

Chen's chest heaved with anger as she raised a feather duster and struck Lin Yuesha's back several times.

The feather duster looked thin, but when it hit me, it hurt terribly.

Lin Yuesha grimaced, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

She felt wronged, not knowing what she had done wrong to be beaten. She asked herself honestly, since the time she transmigrated, she had treated Chen Shi like her own mother, considering the family in every way, without any selfish motives.

Why? Why did you hit her without even asking what happened?

"I did nothing wrong!"

Lin Yuesha stubbornly stepped forward, gritting her teeth. Since the body belonged to the original owner, she figured she could fight if she wanted.

"you……"

Madam Chen nearly fainted from anger. The pain of hitting her daughter was felt by the mother. Heaven knows how shocked and furious she was when she heard that her little girl had taken money to a gambling den.

Is a gambling den a place a young girl should go to?

"How did I raise you? You were perfectly fine, but you still went gambling. Do you know how many families have been ruined and destroyed?"

They make a little money but don't know how to use it, and they get carried away. Rather than that, it would be better for the whole family to go back to the village and live a hard life. At least they'll be upright and honest.

"No one gambles in our village, but in other villages, how many families have been ruined and people have been killed?"

Mrs. Chen clutched her chest, heartbroken. She knew her daughter had made money. But the most terrifying thing was her gambler's mentality.

Those who win think gambling is a quick way to make money and become deeply addicted, while those who lose become even more greedy, always thinking about how to recoup their losses. When they run out of money to invest, they go astray and try to get more money to gamble again.

"But……"

Lin Yuesha knew gambling was wrong, but how could she explain her actions? She was supporting Doctor Yan and believed in her medical skills.

She wasn't heartbroken if she lost, because the money was earned through gambling anyway. If she won, all the better, since she had already bought a farm and wouldn't have to worry about her family's livelihood in the future.

"I was only doing this for the good of our family, why did you hit me?"

Lin Yuesha sat on the ground and cried uncontrollably, unable to express the grievances in her heart.

Madam Chen had her own standpoint and her own reasons.

There are no black and white ways to make money. As long as she makes money and doesn't harm anyone, she doesn't think she's done anything wrong.

How many years would it take to accumulate wealth just by doing business?

“Honey, I told you you misunderstood Yue Sha. Yue Sha isn’t a gambler.”

Xiao Chenggui looked worried. He was caught in the middle of his mother and daughter's argument, unable to get out of the situation. The little girl was clever; only her mother, Chen, didn't understand her. She overthought things and was just worrying unnecessarily.

Lin Yuesha had been running around for half a day and had made plans for the future. She was excited to give her parents a surprise, but instead she was scolded and beaten. It was as if the flame burning in her heart was immediately extinguished.

She didn't want to explain anything to Chen; those who understood would understand, and those who didn't, there was nothing she could do.

Lin Yuesha turned her head, ran into the room, and slammed the door shut.

Upon seeing this, Chen trembled twice more and asked Xiao Chenggui through tears, "Look at her attitude!"

"lady."

Bai Cha greeted Madam Chen. As a maid, she couldn't bear to see her mistress suffer, so she had to tell the whole story to prevent Madam Chen from being instigated.

Regarding the gambling, it wasn't the lady who initiated it; rather, it just happened that an opportunity arose.

"Miss was also trying to save Da Niu'er and to help Doctor Yan make a name for herself. She also taught me that I must never have any illusions just because I won money."

Bai Cha explained the whole story and brought up the matter of buying the estate again, saying that this time the lady had really misunderstood the young lady.

"No matter what, you shouldn't gamble."

After finishing her sentence, Chen turned and left.

She realized her mistake. From childhood to adulthood, she had never hit her daughter. She always felt sorry for the little girl who was so young and had no father. However, she found that her daughter had changed.

Since she was able to earn money, Lin Yuesha became more independent and no longer needed her as her mother. Chen felt very disappointed and thought she was useless and could not be her daughter's support.

Deep down, she was afraid that Lin Yuesha would become arrogant once she had money.

“Honey, you were really wrong this time. No matter what, you can’t beat or scold our daughter now that she’s grown up. There’s nothing we can’t discuss.”

Xiao Chenggui carefully chose his words, speaking earnestly and patiently, but he couldn't be too harsh.
