Lin Ru tied up Lin Eryong and Lin Sanyong.

Looking at her younger brothers who had been released, she saw that their eyes were not as timid as she had imagined, but rather filled with admiration.

Lin Ru instructed Lin Bai to take her younger brother and gag the three of them.

He helped the unconscious Bai up from the ground and fed her the remaining half of the health-strengthening pill.

Then, nine-year-old Lin Mo and eight-year-old Lin Qing were shown to look at Bai Shi.

Lin Ru then led Lin Bai outside.

She looked at the three people lying on the ground and said to Lin Bai, "Go, get a stick and beat them! Just don't kill them!"

Lin Bai was taken aback for a moment, but still did as Lin Ru said.

Lin Ru thought Lin Bai would object, but to her surprise, he only paused for a moment before grabbing the stick and charging forward.

Lin Ru was very pleased: "That's the right thing to do! When you're soft-hearted towards your enemy, you should think about what would happen if you were in their shoes and they treated you even more cruelly."

Lin Bai felt that his elder sister had changed, but he was also somewhat relieved that she had changed.

He looked at the three people in front of him and put himself in their shoes. If it weren't for his eldest sister, his mother would have died, and they would have been sold off separately.

Lin Bai raised the stick; he knew he had to take responsibility for his family.

Lin Ru felt gratified as she looked at Lin Bai, whose aura had changed.

Lin Ru smiled at the three people in front of her: "Everyone! If you want to hate someone, hate me! Remember what I did today, and hate me day and night!"

As Lin Bai continued to strike with the stick, Lin Ru's mind began to race with a series of rapid-fire pronouncements.

"Ding! Old Man Lin's hatred points increased by 50 points, Lin Eryong's hatred points increased by 100 points, and Lin Sanyong's hatred points increased by 70 points..."

Although there were continuous announcements about the increasing aggro value, there was no notification to trigger the reward.

Looking at the three men on the ground with their faces contorted in rage, Lin Ru thought, "Let this hatred rage even more fiercely!"

After Lin Bai got tired of fighting, Lin Ru let Lin Mo go up and fight. Anyway, there was still a whole night to go, and every little bit helps!

She only told the two to stop after all three of them had passed out.

Lin Ru thought about the reason for the current situation and concluded that it was due to weakness!

Thinking of the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her spatial storage, she made up her mind.

She took out the pill and examined it closely; this "Marrow Cleansing Pill" was at least grade seven.

After consuming it, impurities can be eliminated from the body, and muscles and bones can be rebuilt.

She called out her three younger brothers, giving Lin Bai one pill, and Lin Mo and Lin Qing half a pill each.

“This was given to me by a traveling doctor on the road. It will cause severe pain all over the body after taking it, but it is very good for the body. I will take it first and you can decide after you see my reaction.”

Before Lin Ru could even take a bite, the three brothers rushed to eat it, showing no suspicion whatsoever.

Lin Ru tried to stop her, but it was too late: "What... what if this is poison! Let me finish eating first, then you can eat it. Ugh! I shouldn't have given it to you beforehand!"

However, the three younger brothers said in unison, "We'll die together!"

She had seen others take this medicine before, and it was incredibly painful. She was scared and didn't have the money, so she didn't sell it to them. Now it seems these children are braver than she was!

Lin Ru looked at the three little ones in front of her, put the pill in her mouth, and smiled gently: "Alright! We'll die together!"

A moment later, the group felt a sharp pain in their stomachs, as if their meridians were out of place, and every inch of their skin and every pore felt like it was about to explode.

Lin Ru felt a pang of heartache seeing the three little ones writhing in pain.

While clutching her stomach, Lin Ru comforted the three little ones, "It's okay! Trust your sister! You'll be alright! Once you get through this, I'll cook you something delicious tomorrow."

Lin Qing's voice trembled as she said, "I still want to eat chicken! I haven't had any meat all day!"

Lin Mo also said intermittently, "I want one too, I want to eat chicken!"

Lin Ru forced a smile: "Okay! I'll buy you two chickens tomorrow!"

Lin Bai chimed in, "Yes! I'll definitely make it even better tomorrow."

The four siblings spent the difficult time encouraging each other and joking around.

This was the first time Lin Ru had ever felt the warmth and trust from her family!

This feels great!

When they recovered, they pointed at each other in surprise: "You...you have black stuff on you! Ugh! It stinks!"

Then the four of them boiled water in the middle of the night to take a bath and change clothes.

It took me ages to figure it out.

After the four of them had washed and cleaned themselves, they felt refreshed and their bodies felt much lighter.

By the moonlight, the three little ones' complexions had actually improved; they were no longer as sallow as before, and even their skin looked smoother.

The three little ones looked at their older sister and said, "Sis! You seem to have become more beautiful!"

Lin Ru touched her face and found it to be very smooth.

She was overjoyed: "Thank goodness, all that suffering wasn't for nothing!"

Suddenly, "gurgle..."

Lin Qing touched her rumbling stomach and smiled sheepishly.

At the same time, the stomachs of Lin Ru and the other two started rumbling.

Lin Ru waved her hand and said, "Start a fire! I'll make you egg noodle soup!"

The three cheered! Without caring whether it was the middle of the night, they started a fire by the moonlight.

Lin Ru also started making egg noodle soup by the moonlight.

This was her favorite food to make before she started fasting! It's incredibly convenient!

Lin Ru poured the dough onto the lotus leaf, then kneaded it into small dough balls. After the water boiled, she poured the dough balls in and added six eggs.

The three little ones huddled around the pot, watching the dumpling soup bubbling inside, their mouths practically watering.

Finally, Lin Ru added some wild vegetables and a little salt, and then prepared to eat.

But to her dismay, she discovered that there was not only no bowl, but also no spoon.

If only she still had her cultivation level!

Seeing her sister's dejected expression, Lin Mo suddenly ran back into the house and mysteriously took out something.

Lin Ru looked at the bamboo in Lin Mo's hand. It was split in the middle and then into four pieces, with a handle and a place to hold soup.

Lin Ru took the bamboo stalks from Lin Mo and happily kissed him, saying, "Second brother! You're amazing!"

Lin Mo blushed as she was kissed.

Lin Qing, standing to the side, said unhappily, "Elder sister! I bit a bad guy before! And I didn't even get a kiss!"

Lin Ru smiled and said, "Dear friends! You are all wonderful!"

Then I kissed them one by one.

This made the younger brothers blush.

Old Man Lin, who had been lying on the ground and slowly woke up, was so angry at the sight of the harmonious scene in front of him that he fainted again.

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to think about how to deal with the three men.

Lin Ru came up with an excellent idea.

In the quiet night, Lin Ru, Lin Bai, and Lin Mo carried the unconscious Old Man Lin together, while Lin Qing looked around to see if there were any neighbors who were still awake in the middle of the night.

And so the four of them carried it to the doorstep of Widow Zhang's house.

The other two were transported in the same way.

Lin Ru had Lin Qing sneak through the dog hole, then opened the gate and moved them into the yard.

They then had their younger brothers strip them of their clothes and throw them onto the roof of Widow Zhang's house.

The four siblings then quietly left.

When they got home, the siblings first went to check on Bai Shi. Seeing that she was breathing steadily and there was nothing wrong, they went out.
