Chapter 18 Taking Back What Belongs to Your Home

As a result, the taste was unforgettable for him; it smelled so bad that he even wanted to throw the pot away.

"Yes! Really, brother, you have to believe me. I'll cook it for you all myself tomorrow. It's getting late, let's go back now!"

Although Lin Luoxi used to enjoy spending time in the laboratory, she didn't neglect her health and had some knowledge of food.

"Hmm!" Lin Wenqian was quite looking forward to it after hearing Lin Luoxi's confident promise.

He stepped forward on his own initiative, picked up the two largest and heaviest strings of fish, and, worried that Lin Luoxi might be scared if she walked behind him, he deliberately walked behind her.

As the two returned along the road, they naturally attracted the barking of the village's guard dogs, so they could only try to keep their footsteps as quiet as possible.

As they passed by the Lin family's house, Lin Luoxi leaned close to Lin Wenqian and whispered, "Big brother, do you want to get back the chickens, ducks, and pigs that the Lin family took from our house?"

When Lin Luoxi saw the gate of the Lin family compound, a memory instantly flooded back: Old Mrs. Lin had taken the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family to her house to display the character for filial piety and then smuggled her family's poultry.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Wenqian felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the mischievous smile on Lin Luoxi's lips, and he looked at Lin Luoxi warily.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you want to take our things back?"

"Those were bought with our parents' money. Even if we kill them, it's to nourish them; we can't let them benefit from us."

If her memory serves her correctly, the chickens and ducks that Old Mrs. Lin took away have already started laying eggs.

"We'd like to, but even if we 'take' it back, where can we put it?"

“Once that old hag discovers that their chickens and ducks are missing, the first thing she’ll do is come to our house and make a scene. Once she finds them at our house, there’s no end to the arguments.”

Lin Wenqian thought about the temperament of the Lin family. If he got entangled with that family, there would be endless arguments.

"What are you afraid of? I have a plan!"

Seeing that Lin Wenqian had agreed, Lin Luoxi quickly handed him the two strings of fish she was holding.

"Brother, take the fish back first and pretend nothing happened. I'll be back in a bit."

Even if Lin Luoxi didn't have a place to put her chickens and ducks, she would have thought of taking them back after hearing Lin Luoning's words.

However, there's no time like the present, so since we're already here, we might as well take back everything that belongs to our family.

"No, I can't go back. If..." Lin Wenqian was afraid that Lin Luoxi would be discovered and make things difficult for the Lin family.

"Brother, I can't guarantee what I could have done with my old intelligence, but you know a little about me now. I won't let anything happen to me. You go back first."

Lin Luoxi felt that Lin Wenqian's presence would only hinder her performance.

"I..." Seeing Lin Luoxi's insistence, Lin Wenqian didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so he stamped his foot and quickly headed home with the fish in his arms.

Lin Luoxi watched Lin Wenqian's figure disappear around the corner, and finally felt relieved enough to look around.

Once he was sure no one was around, he scanned the courtyard wall of Old Lin's house.

Finding a relatively easy spot to climb, I quietly approached, and with a light leap, like a cat, I jumped over the courtyard wall without making a sound.

Following the route I remembered, I tiptoed toward the pens where the chickens and ducks were kept.

At night, the chickens and ducks are practically blind. When Lin Luoxi put her hand in, they only struggled and made a few noises, but nothing else.

Lin Luoxi didn't spare the chickens, ducks, or even the neighbor's Pigsy brothers; she put them all into her spatial storage.

Looking at the empty chicken coop, duck shed, and pigsty, Lin Luoxi frowned.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the loud snoring coming from inside Old Lin's house, louder than a pig's snores. A smirk appeared on his lips as a terrible idea popped into his mind.

He walked to Lin Daguang's room as if no one else was there, and instead of going through the door, he climbed over the open window.

Walking to the bedside of Lin Daguang and his wife, who were sleeping like logs, Lin Luoxi gave each of them a chop to the neck.

He knocked the two unconscious and began his plan.

She first searched Lin Daguang's room thoroughly. If she remembered correctly, Lin Xiaowu had taken a silver bracelet and a silver hairpin from her mother's place. She was here today, and there was no reason for her to leave empty-handed.

After finding the silver hairpin and bracelet she wanted, they also took away ten taels of silver and some copper coins.

These were all extorted from her father by Old Mrs. Lin, and Lin Luoxi had no conscience about taking them.

If she hadn't just returned today, she would definitely have fed those heartless bastards some croton powder or something, making them defecate for days and nights to vent her anger.

Lin Luoxi not only visited the room of Lin Daguang and his wife, but also the room of Lin Luodan, who had previously tried to murder her but was too frightened to leave the house after discovering that Lin Luoxi was still alive.

"She's so eager to get married. The two families have only just arranged the marriage, and the wedding dress is already being prepared. Oh well, let's accept it; we can at least get some money from it..."

Lin Luoxi saw the bright red wedding dress in Lin Luodan's room, smiled mischievously, and put the wedding dress into her spatial storage, taking away everything she considered valuable.

Even if they can't be sold, throwing them away will at least give me some satisfaction.

Wasn't the Wang family arranged the marriage because they thought the Lin family was well-off?

Since that's the case, then let the Wang family's efforts be in vain.

When the Wang family finally marries Lin Luodan and discovers she has no money at all, their expression will be quite something, hehe…

After visiting every room in the Lin family, Lin Luoxi stopped and remembered her previous plan.

"Done." After stripping the unconscious Lin Daguang and his wife, along with the equally unconscious Lin Laotou and his wife, naked and throwing them into the pigsty, they left, humming a little tune with satisfaction.

They came quietly and left quietly, taking all the Lin family's money with them.

After Lin Luoxi left the Lin family home, she didn't notice a young figure standing at the corner of the outer wall of the Lin family home, watching her leave until the figure disappeared around the corner.

"Interesting." He had seen everything Lin Luoxi did.

When I rescued Lin Luoxi, I never expected to run into her again in the middle of the night.

Previously, when I saw Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian catching fish enthusiastically by the river, I thought the siblings must be starving to be unable to sleep and catching fish by the stream in the middle of the night.

My heart, which had been cold for so long, warmed up again when I saw the brother and sister catching fish, and when I thought about what happened at the Lin family's house earlier that day.

Feeling a pang of sympathy, he turned back to get the game he had hunted in the mountains during the day, intending to give it to the brother and sister. But when he returned, he witnessed this amusing scene.
