Chapter 9: Split up the family? Destroy the family? Choose one!
Lin Xiaobai lifted the stone slab at the entrance of the cellar with one hand, and the smell of mold mixed with blood hit him in the face.
Lin Shuhua was tied up like a dumpling with hemp rope, with a smelly rag stuffed in his mouth and a blood scab on his forehead.
"Sister." Lin Xiaoan jumped down to the cellar and cut the rope.
"Xiao An...you're here." Shuhua's pale eyelids trembled, and she barely opened a crack. The drug made her weak and powerless.
"Sister... is she home yet? Where's brother?"
"Sister is fine, she's very capable!" Xiao An deliberately raised her voice, "She calculated with her fingers and knew that you were trapped at grandma's house."
"Stop talking nonsense and come up quickly." Lin Xiaobai's figure suddenly loomed over, and his thousand-layer cloth shoes crushed the wheat straw scattered at the entrance of the cellar.
Xiao An carried the calligraphy and painting on her back, "Sister, hold on, I'll carry you out now. Don't be afraid later, tell me everything truthfully, and I'll help us make the decision."
Xiaobai finally saw his sister in this body.
How should I put it? It’s a bit unexpected.
Lin Shuhua and Lin Guohua are simply cut from the same mold, with the same square face and wide mouth, which is indeed not very friendly to girls.
If it weren't for the mismatch in age, they would look more like twins.
On the other hand, she and Xiao An, real twins, have different faces and no similarities at all.
This discovery made Lin Xiaobai press the tip of her tongue against the roof of her mouth. The vigilance she had developed in the last days made her instinctively doubt the origin of this body.
It seems that the Lin family has a secret. But don't worry, there is still a long way to go.
"Who hurt you?" Xiaobai's fingertips gently brushed the wound on Shuhua's forehead, and his nose suddenly moved. "Did you take drugs?"
She glanced at everyone in the Lin family.
"She fell down by herself. We just gave her drugs to knock out the sleepers. We didn't beat her..." Lin Dazhuang said it straightforwardly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes blurred, and the sound of bones breaking and screams were heard at the same time.
Lin Xiaobai teleported to Lin Dazhuang's side without knowing when and grabbed his right arm.
"Ahhh~" Lin Dazhuang howled in pain, his right arm hanging limply.
"Yes, you are honest, so I only broke one of your arms."
The enamel bowl in Chen Cuihua's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the sauce-colored pickled vegetable soup splashed all over her shoes.
This woman, who used to be sarcastic, now crawled under the round table like a frightened old hen.
"Son——!" Mrs. Lin's wails almost overturned the roof beams. Her hands, as dry as a tree, tightly hugged her son.
"This is outrageous! Da Zhuang's family! Go and ask the secretary to catch this beast!"
In the shadow under the table, Chen Cuihua did not move abnormally.
She stared at Lin Shuhua's red and swollen forehead, and suddenly grabbed her mother-in-law's trouser leg: "Mom... Shuhua's incident happened in our family..." She lowered her voice very low, "If it gets out of hand, then..."
Old Man Lin's pipe slammed against the bench.
This old man who had always pretended to be deaf and dumb looked at Lin Xiaobai for the first time, his cloudy eyes gleaming with a gleam: "What do you want?"
"Simple, two things." Lin Xiaobai raised two fingers.
"First, separate! Immediately, immediately!"
"Second, return the things you have taken from my house before—" She tilted her head and smiled, her fangs flashing coldly, "Spit out the money you have taken from me with interest!"
When Lin Guohua followed the village party secretary hurriedly to the old house, the courtyard door was wide open and the main room was unusually quiet.
His heart tightened, fearing that his brothers and sisters would suffer, he rushed in in two steps, only to see Lin Xiaobai sitting on the eight-immortals table with his legs crossed, playing with a kitchen knife in his hand - he had just taken it from the kitchen and it felt terrible.
Lin Xiaoan squatted beside and fed Shuhua water, while Lin Dazhuang slumped on a bench, hugging his arms and humming, and Chen Cuihua huddled in the corner, her face pale.
Lin Guohua breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly to his brother and sister-in-law, and asked in a low voice: "Are you all right?"
Lin Xiaoan shook his head and whispered, "Brother, I've removed your arm."
Lin Guohua: “…”
He turned to look at Lin Xiaobai, who grinned at him with his pointed fangs, like a cat that had just stolen some meat.
"The calligraphy and painting have been found, that's good. Don't run around anymore. Look how worried your elder brother is, looking for you all over the village."
The village party secretary Lin Shan stepped into the doorway with his hands behind his back, and his eyes swept around the house, finally landing on Old Man Lin. "Old Lin, it's not a good look to have such a commotion, is it?"
"My family has suffered misfortune. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here." Old man Lin stood up and poured a cup of tea for the secretary.
Lin Guohua took a deep breath, suddenly turned around, and said solemnly to the village party secretary: "Uncle Shan, today is your day, so I would like to ask you to be a witness - my brothers and sisters are going to separate."
As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Lin jumped up from the ground and said, "What family division?! Your grandma is not dead yet, it is not your turn to divide this family just like that!"
"It's not easy to die!" Lin Xiaobai laughed sinisterly on the side, and with a sword flower, the two flies broke into four petals and fell on the table.
"You..." Old Mrs. Lin's face turned red and her teeth chattered.
Lin Guohua did not back down this time. He stood straight and said in a steady voice, "Uncle Shan, we all know the hardships we brothers and sisters have endured over the years.
The fortune my father earned, my mother's dowry, and all the money and food we earned over the years, all went into the old man's pocket, and we never said a word.
But now - "He glanced at the wound on Lin Shuhua's forehead, his eyes darkened, "We can't go on like this. "
The village party secretary sighed and looked at Old Man Lin: "Old Lin, the children are grown up now, so you should divide them up."
Old Man Lin had a gloomy face and tapped his pipe on the corner of the table: "We can split up, but the things..."
Old Mrs. Lin stared at her husband in disbelief: "Boss!"
"The past is just a token of filial piety." The village party secretary interrupted him and glanced at Old Lady Lin meaningfully, "Auntie, your third son works in the county. If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone."
Mrs. Lin's face changed, and she obviously heard the hidden meaning. She gritted her teeth and suddenly said, "Okay, let's split it."
Lin Xiaobai sat aside with a half-smile in his face, saying nothing. Honoring? Taking her family's food? That also depends on whether she agrees or not.
The village party secretary didn't dare to look directly at Lin Xiaobai. Why did this girl look so evil after waking up?
The division of property documents was made in triplicate: one copy went to the old house and one to Lin Guohua, while the other was kept at the village committee for record.
"Xiaobai, you are now well, which is a good thing for Guohua and the others. Don't be impulsive in the future and think more about your brothers and sisters."
The little girl came back from the back mountain safely, and the rumors in the village were getting more and more weird. He also wanted to give her some advice.
"I'll write your name down later. When you work with Guohua, you'll get some bonus. Your life will get better and better."
After talking about this, he started to worry about that too, and his worries never ended.
"Aunt, I don't mean to say anything bad to you, but you are just a human being. Guohua and the others are your grandchildren after all, so there is no reason for you to do such a thing.
Don't blame me for not reminding you. I heard that the third brother has a chance to be promoted recently. The higher-ups pay the most attention to reputation assessment. You should think about it."
