Chapter 445 Mother, you can go and claim the mountain now.

Lin Yuesha despised this; she had no interest in such a cowardly and excuse-ridden good-for-nothing.

"If I were Xiao Qiuyue, I would marry that brother."

Since there's no escaping the constraints, choose what's best for you—choose your brother, of course. As for dealing with scumbags, just laugh it off.

"A person who truly loves you will always consider your needs, unlike that man who is always calculating and only chooses the path that benefits him."

Lin Yuesha offered a spicy critique, conversely believing that it would be best for Xiao Qiuyue to marry her brother. She thought it would be a beautiful marriage to find a man who was devoted to her, and it would also be a chance to get revenge on the scumbag.

"An elder sister-in-law is like a mother, just thinking about it makes me feel good, haha."

After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, she clapped for herself.

Inside the room, the lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The maids looked at each other, then pushed and shoved one another, finally pushing out Qingxing, the boldest of the maids.

"Miss, are you interested? You seem quite experienced."

Qingxing was shocked. Her young mistress was too familiar with this series of routines and was very open-minded. Especially Lin Yuesha's words, "An elder sister-in-law is like a mother." Right under her nose, she could live well while making the scumbag suffer. This was the best revenge.

Loving someone means thinking of them. On the other hand, the master is all about scheming. What kind of feelings does he have for the young lady? Is it possessiveness?

Lin Yuesha is a sensible person, but Xiao Qi is not. If she were to learn the truth about this scheme, it would still cause quite a stir.

"Cough cough."

Lin Yuesha choked on her tea and almost gave herself away when she got too excited while spitting out the scumbag. She had never been in a relationship in either her past or present life, so where would she get the experience?

"Your young lady, even if I've never eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. I haven't read storybooks for nothing."

After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, fearing that the maids would ask more questions, she added, "It's all thanks to Granny Fang and Granny Kang for helping Sister Yan. If the two of them were in the room and heard you discussing love and affection, they would definitely have taken you out to practice."

"This servant dares not say any more."

Bai Cha covered her mouth with a handkerchief. They were quite unrestrained when chatting with their young lady in private, but they definitely had to follow the rules in front of the two matrons.

The play lasted for an hour. Just as Lin Yuesha had predicted, Xiao Qiuyue married her brother and lived a carefree life. Meanwhile, the younger brother, unable to bear the inner torment, left home with a maid who was his confidante and went on to travel the world.

Years later, he brought back a litter of babies, born to his female confidantes from various places.

Lin Yuesha felt awkward, realizing that Qiuyue Troupe's play was very interesting, both satirical and thought-provoking.

"Oh dear, why is it that this scumbag has so many children and such good fortune?"

Qingxing and her friends saw many children and thought it meant many children meant many blessings, but they didn't bother to find out how many women gave birth to them. They actually thought it was a benefit to scumbags.

Lin Yuesha touched her forehead with a handkerchief; perhaps only she could understand the irony within.

The rule of the Qiuyue Troupe is that they only perform one play, and no matter how much the other party gives them, they will only perform one play.

As the play ended, someone walked around the set with a basket, and the crowd threw things into the basket—silver, jewels, and all sorts of other things.

After giving a tip, Chen helped Xiao Chenggui to his feet. At that very moment, the main pillar of the stage suddenly loosened.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Lin Yuesha's heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she heard the sound. Such a tall and thick pillar, if it hit someone, would cause serious injury even if they didn't die. Especially since her father, Xiao Chenggui, was seriously ill, would he even survive if he were hit?

Unfortunately, Lin Yuesha was upstairs, far from the stage, and distant water could not quench immediate thirst.

The pillars of the platform loosened, and everyone instinctively ran away. Xiao Chenggui stood there, pondering whether to take Chen Shi away. But if he did, he would definitely accelerate the onset of the poison in his body, and even a great immortal could not save him.

In a brief moment, Xiao Chenggui decided to push Chen aside and use his body to block the pillar, but Chen was faster than him.

In the blink of an eye, instead of retreating, Chen moved forward and hugged the pillar with both hands. The pillar, which weighed several hundred pounds, did not fall down despite her embrace.

"Father, Mother!"

Lin Yuesha was so frightened that she lost her mind and ran to the front yard. When she got to the stage, she saw that her father, Xiao Chenggui, was sitting there unharmed, while her mother, Chen, was still in a daze.

"Mother, Mother, are you alright?"

Lin Yuesha supported Chen Shi, fearing that Chen Shi's arm might have been broken by the falling pillar, and insisted on asking Doctor Yan to take a look.

"Ah, it's nothing."

Chen stood up and walked a few steps, unharmed.

"But……"

Lin Yuesha saw Chen hugging the pillar from upstairs, so it couldn't be faked. And now the pillar has collapsed, smashing a big hole in the stage.

Such a heavy thing, and Mom managed to hold it with both hands without getting hurt? That's impossible.

Could it be that the pillars are made of cotton?

Lin Yuesha was full of questions. She went forward and tried to move the pillar, but it didn't budge.

It looks like it weighs at least several hundred pounds. How did Mother manage to take the pillar down? Does she have some kind of kung fu skill?

"Mother... Mother doesn't know either."

Ms. Chen spread her hands, looking completely innocent. At the time, she was just thinking that she absolutely couldn't let the pillar hit Xiao Chenggui, so she went to catch it.

Everyone in the family knew that Chen was strong, and Chen herself knew it too, but she wasn't strong all the time; her strength would only come out occasionally at crucial moments.

“We live in Chenjia Village. In winter, we need firewood, so my mother would secretly go into the mountains to collect it.”

Chen did not hide this fact. Since Lin Shusheng disappeared, Chen had been relying on her maternal family for support. In order not to create too much burden for her parents and elder brother, she would occasionally go into the mountains to collect firewood.

Her family forbade it, so she could only go secretly.

One year, when Chen was gathering firewood, she encountered a wild boar attacking her. In a moment of panic, she raised her hand and slapped the boar on the head, and the boar fell to the ground and died instantly.

Chen couldn't figure out how the wild boar died. She thought it was faking being unconscious, so she climbed a tree to hide. Several hours later, the wild boar was still unconscious.

"When I climbed down from the tree, I found that the wild boar was already dead."

Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and Chen couldn't figure out the cause of death, suspecting that she might have slapped the wild boar to death.

"Your maternal grandparents later sold the wild boar, and the money was given to your mother as a personal savings."

Chen was not born with superhuman strength, but whenever she wanted to exert herself, she would become incredibly strong, however, she always forgot this.

She used to have to carry firewood down the mountain when she lived in Chenjia Village. But since her family moved to the town and then to Fucheng, she hasn't done any physical labor for a while.

The case was solved. Lin Yuesha was first surprised, then relieved.

No wonder the family's melon seed and flower production involved hundreds of kilograms of goods that they never asked for help to sell. Lin Yuesha initially thought that Chen was just moving things around like ants on a cart, but she had misunderstood.

"Mother, you can go and claim the hilltop now."

Lady He was strong enough to claim a hilltop, Lin Yuesha joked, while her own mother, Chen, was even more unassuming, as she was well hidden.
