She reached in and touched the cylindrical tin box, then took it out.
Open the box, and the property certificate and land deed inside are still new.
She immediately stored the property deed in her spatial storage, so that after she left, that family would never be able to continue living there.
She came out of the storage room and checked the time. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. The rest of the Lin family should be back soon.
The original owner was physically weak, and Fang Huilan had brainwashed her since childhood, telling her that she was born with a lowly fate and that she must live a life of peace and accumulate good fortune so that her illness could slowly improve.
Lin Sisi always bossed her around, as if she were the young lady of the house and the original owner was just a maid.
Lin Guanghui wasn't a good person either; he liked to bully her since she was little.
Every time Lin Guanghui bullied her, Lin Heping and Fang Huilan would stay far away and pretend not to know.
Even if they return to complain to the original owner, they will only give Lin Guanghui a verbal warning, which will not have any deterrent effect.
Later, the original owner gradually stopped fighting back and arguing with Lin Guanghui when he bullied her. Lin Guanghui got bored of bullying her and stopped bothering her.
Now that she's here, there's no way she'll let the Lin family bully her anymore.
However, with her weak and small body, if she were to have a conflict with the Lin family and they were to attack her, she would have no chance to defend herself.
She needs to find a tool to defend herself.
I spotted the kitchen knife hanging on the wall at a glance, and that was it.
Anyone in this house who dares to mess with her will be met with a kitchen knife.
Besides the kitchen knife, she also searched for other highly offensive and self-defense weapons in the house.
It was not only for her own self-defense, but also to prevent the Lin family from using these things to harm her.
There was a hammer behind the door, so I picked it up and threw it into the space; there was a pair of scissors hanging on the wall, so I took them and threw them into the space; there were a few nails in the drawer of the living room table, so I took them and put them into the space.
She went back into the house, found a bag, slung it over her shoulder, and put the kitchen knife inside. Actually, she had already put it in her spatial storage; the bag was just a cover.
When you need a kitchen knife, you can easily "draw" it from your bag at any time.
In the courtyard downstairs
When Fang Huilan and Lin Sisi returned from shopping, they found three women relaxing under two poplar trees in the courtyard.
Seeing the mother and daughter carrying large bags, the three people exchanged glances and whispered among themselves. They probably knew what the mother and daughter were up to, so they didn't bother to ask what they had bought.
But just because they don't ask doesn't mean others won't tell.
When Fang Huilan saw them, she quickly brought Lin Sisi over and took out the clothes and shoes she had bought for Lin Sisi.
"Hey, you three, hurry up and take a look at the clothes and shoes I bought for Qingyan, what do you think?"
As she spoke, she first unfolded a square-necked, blue-and-white floral-patterned dress.
The three people pursed their lips, nodded, and praised it.
What else could they say but agree?
They had previously discovered that Fang Huilan had said several times that she was buying clothes for Lin Qingyan, but the next day Lin Sisi would wear them out, and Lin Qingyan was always wearing Lin Sisi's leftover clothes.
Fang Huilan explained to them that the size she bought was too big, so she had no choice but to give it to Lin Sisi.
Buying big once or twice is somewhat convincing, but if the same thing happens several times, then there's a problem.
Fang Huilan is a stepmother who doesn't want to be good to her stepdaughter but still wants a good reputation. It's not impossible that she would deliberately buy clothes that are too big so that her own daughter can wear them.
Those who live in this compound are either employees of the pharmaceutical factory themselves, or their family members are employees there.
They generally didn't want to offend Fang Huilan, and since the original owner neither cried nor made a fuss nor complained, they turned a blind eye and chose to agree with Fang Huilan or remain silent.
Until one day, the wife of a workshop foreman, who was outspoken, exposed Fang Huilan's tricks in front of a group of neighbors.
They said Fang Huilan kept buying the wrong size. If she wanted to buy clothes and shoes for the original owner, why didn't she just take the original owner to try them on?
It's obvious that she deliberately used the excuse of buying clothes for the original owner to buy clothes for her own daughter, but she also wanted to gain a good reputation for treating her stepdaughter well and improve her own image.
Fang Huilan sat down on the ground and burst into tears, saying that she was innocent and that she genuinely wanted to treat her stepdaughter well. She even ran to the riverbank and threatened to jump in to prove her innocence.
From then on, no matter how Fang Huilan pretended in front of them, no one dared to expose her anymore. Even behind Fang Huilan's back, they dared not say anything, for fear that they might accidentally be implicated in someone's death.
Fang Huilan took out the three pieces of clothing she had bought and showed them to her neighbors.
"Hey, don't you think she looks beautiful? I just want my Qingyan to look pretty. Speaking of which, her biological mother passed away early, and she's quite frail, so I have to pamper her as much as I can. I don't want to see her suffer even the slightest grievance. Qingyan must have everything that Sisi has, and Qingyan must have everything that Sisi doesn't have."
These clothes are for Qingyan to wear first. Once they're worn out and she doesn't like them anymore, they'll be given to Sisi. And these two pairs of shoes, I bought them for Qingyan too. What do you think of them?
The three of them were almost ready to throw up, but they still nodded and gave her a perfunctory response.
"Mmm, it looks good."
She smiled and said, "When we take it home and show it to Qingyan, she'll definitely love it. Ah, as long as my Qingyan is happy, it's all worth it no matter how much I do."
A woman named Liu Fengzhen, who liked to curry favor with her, came over and immediately showered her with compliments.
