◎Teacher's Ruler: Punishment Time (Two in One)◎
Because of the strange things that happened to their son, Lin Chengsheng and his second brother no longer dared to go to the mute's house to cause trouble.
Zhao Fang was treating the wounds on her son's body. Looking at the whip marks of all sizes, she felt so distressed that she wiped away tears.
Lin Chengwang and Lin Shuo were cleaning the yard when the gangster Lin Dong made such a commotion that the yard became a mess.
But fortunately, they are not valuable things. If the rice is spilled, it can be cooked again. If the water tank is broken, it can be repaired. As long as no one is hurt, we should be thankful.
Like Lin Chengsheng and the others, the adoptive father also believed that the strange thing that happened to Lin Dong just now was the spirit of his ancestors appearing, and that his father and mother who once loved him were helping him in the dark.
Lin Shuo originally had the intelligence and mentality of a child. Seeing his hateful cousin being punished, he was too happy to think about what was going on.
None of them blamed Jiang Ninglu for this incredible incident, which was a good thing. Jiang Ninglu didn't have to rack her brains to think of how to explain this matter to her adoptive father.
The father and son quickly cleaned up the yard. Jiang Ninglu wanted to help, but her adoptive father refused because he was afraid that the wood chips and broken porcelain pieces on the ground would cut her hands.
Lin Shuo pushed her back to the bedroom to rest, patting his chest and saying, "You don't have to do this little thing, Dad and I can handle it."
In the eyes of her adoptive father and brother, Jiang Ninglu was always treated like a child.
She felt a warm current surge in her heart, and at the same time, she looked at the destroyed things in the yard and squinted her eyes.
She must get back today's debt.
Jiang Ninglu and Lawyer Huo discussed some details that night.
Lawyer Huo is worthy of being the young leader that Shen Zhi praised highly. Thanks to his efforts, the court quickly accepted their case and the process went very quickly.
Lin Chengsheng didn't expect that the dumb family was serious and really wanted to sue them.
A few days ago, they still had a lucky mentality, thinking that Jiang Ninglu was trying to scare them, but at this moment, facing pressure from the court, he had to accept the fact that he had to go to court.
"What should we do? Do we really need to sue? It's obvious that Ning Lu is planning to come back. She has powerful backers. Suing her is like hitting a rock with an egg. Besides, where would we get the money for a lawsuit?"
Zhao Fang is a timid and honest man. His first reaction when encountering something is to be at a loss.
Lin Chengsheng's head ached from her nagging, and he yelled in frustration, "Shut up."
Zhao Fang shut up and went back to taking care of her son.
Lin Dong's injuries had not healed yet, and he was lying on the bed cursing, but he only dared to argue. After the invisible whipping in his uncle's yard, he, the fearless troublemaker, had become much more restrained and no longer dared to cause trouble for his uncle's family.
Lin Chengsheng felt that he could not just sit there and wait for death. Not to mention redistributing the property, he would not even give half a cent or half an acre of land to the mute.
He went to discuss the matter with the second brother's family. Chen Xiuyun avoided his gaze and hesitated, implying that she didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.
Lin Chengsheng was so angry that his eyes widened: "Do you think you can get away? The mute is suing our two families. If they win the lawsuit, you won't be much better off!"
Chen Xiuyun understood the logic, but when she thought about spending money, she felt as if a piece of her heart was being cut out.
Just when the two families were about to fall apart, a strange phone call came in, saying that they could help them with the lawsuit, hire the best defense lawyer for them, and even promised to teach them how to deal with Jiang Ninglu.
Lin Chengsheng listened to this unfamiliar processed voice. Although he didn't know who the other party was, how the other party found him, or why he wanted to help them, he nodded hurriedly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"As long as you can help us, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
Chen Xiuyun, however, was very alert and asked, "Excuse me, if you help us win the lawsuit, how should we repay you?"
The other party chuckled and said slowly: "I don't need you to repay me, and you don't have to pay a penny. Just follow my arrangements."
Now Chen Xiuyun finally felt relieved.
She was not as simple-minded as Lin Chengsheng, who thought it was a piece of cake. She just keenly grasped the key information that the other party said about helping to deal with Jiang Ninglu.
Chen Xiuyun's mind was spinning, and she immediately understood that Jiang Ninglu must have offended someone in the big city, and now the other person wanted to teach her a lesson.
And judging from the other person's tone, it was obvious that he was someone more powerful than Jiang Ninglu.
I told you, a pheasant is still a pheasant after all. Even if it goes to a big city and gets gilded with gold, it can never fly to the treetops and become a phoenix.
They only dared to go back to the village and bully the honest people like them.
At the same time, at the Jiang family manor.
Jiang Lingxue hung up the phone, took off the voice-changing processor, and asked the people around her to find a good defense lawyer as soon as possible and rush to Linjiawan immediately.
The voice in her head said, "Is this possible?"
Jiang Lingxue sneered, "You told me to stir up Jiang Ninglu's dark side, collect her depression and transform it into energy to prolong my life. But you've seen how proud Jiang Ninglu has been lately. If I don't do something, do you want me to die?"
System A remained silent. It just didn't understand why it had detected a strong depression energy on Jiang Ninglu's body before, but it disappeared suddenly, without any depression energy left.
What it didn't know was that the depression value it detected had been converted into sunshine value by 0328 as a reward, giving Jiang Ninglu the authority to create his own superpowers.
It and Jiang Lingxue thought that Jiang Ninglu was just lucky recently and never thought that Jiang Ninglu also had a system.
"This time, we must crush Jiang Ninglu's spirit no matter what and let her suffer a severe blow. Isn't it that she doesn't want to return to the Jiang family, is arrogant and proud, and only recognizes that mute and the idiot as family members? Let her see with her own eyes that her beloved family is left with nothing and has no one to turn to. She will probably be very sad and full of resentment, right?"
Jiang Lingxue's skin is sickly pale. When she puts on makeup, you can see that she looks healthy. But when she is without makeup, she looks like a paper figure, gloomy and eerie.
This was also a sign that her health was getting worse. Although she was still several years away from her original death, her increasingly weak body made her feel like she was walking on thin ice every day, which made her very anxious.
If Jiang Ninglu doesn't get better and can't provide her with life-sustaining energy, then she will have no choice but to shift her target to her relatives around her, even though she is unwilling to do so.
Soon, the lawyer Jiang Lingxue had someone find arrived at Linjiawan.
Lin Chengsheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed in a suit and had a strong aura. He didn't expect that the mysterious stranger on the other end of the phone was serious about helping them. It was not a scam or a trick to fool them.
I heard that this lawyer came from Beijing. Looking at his appearance and aura, you can tell that he is a very powerful person.
Lin Chengsheng's back straightened up suddenly.
As for Chen Xiuyun's family, as long as he doesn't have to spend money, he will let her do anything.
Here, Lin Chengsheng had a defense lawyer, and he instantly felt very confident. He would sue her if he wanted to, and he was not afraid of anyone.
On the other hand, Chen Xiuyun spread rumors in the village according to the instructions of a stranger.
When Chen Xiuyun saw a villager passing by their house, she grabbed the man's sleeve and cried, saying that Jiang Ninglu was an ungrateful little bastard. The Lin family had raised her with great difficulty, and now that she had become rich, she was ungrateful and wanted to seize the Lin family's property in the name of defending the mute.
It's a pity that they can't read a single word and don't understand anything, and yet they got into trouble.
By then, all the things in the house will be snatched away by Jiang Ninglu. How will the family survive?
Although Chen Xiuyun was an illiterate rural woman, she had excellent acting skills and was very cunning. She would cry and complain to everyone she met, exaggerating the situation.
The villagers liked to watch the fun and gossip. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, everyone in Linjiawan knew that the Lin family's adopted little daughter took advantage of her power to bully others and came back to fight for the family property to repay kindness with hatred.
For a time, Jiang Ninglu became "notorious". Everyone who passed by her house would point at her and secretly call her an ungrateful person.
Lin Chengsheng stopped his mute brother, Lin Chengwang, as he was leaving the house and said, "Awang, don't let Xiaolu fool you. I've been thinking about it these past few days, and it just doesn't feel right. Xiaolu was fine out there, so why would she suddenly come back and cause all this trouble with us? It's not that I don't want to share our family property with you, but think about it, is Xiaolu really doing this without any selfish motives?"
"When the older generation of us are gone, you'll only have one son. Ah Shuo's situation..." Lin Chengsheng sighed, his words becoming self-evident. "Ah Shuo will be all alone then. Do you really expect Xiaolu to take care of him and give him the family fortune you've fought for?"
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. My silly brother, you are so confused."
Lin Chengsheng slapped his thigh heavily, as if he was sighing for his mute brother, but in fact he just wanted to sow discord between him and his adopted daughter.
Lin Chengwang didn't buy it at all. He looked at him calmly and gestured: "Are you done? I have to go to work."
Lin Chengsheng grabbed him and said, "Awang, you don't believe me? I'm your elder brother, a blood relative to you. Why would you rather believe an outsider than me?"
When Lin Chengwang heard the words "elder brother" and "blood relationship", the emotions in his eyes dimmed.
He said nothing, pushed Lin Chengsheng's hand away, walked past him without paying any attention to him.
Lin Chengsheng looked at his back and clenched his fists angrily, but immediately, a sarcastic smile appeared on his fat face.
I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it.
Jiang Ninglu was very surprised.
She didn't care about the gossip that Chen Xiuyun stirred up in the village. What surprised her was that Lin Chengsheng would actually hire a defense lawyer.
Huo Xun recognized the other party. He was a well-known big shot from one of the top law firms in Beijing. Even he was wary of him.
Before deciding to file the lawsuit, Jiang Ninglu thought that if a rabbit is pushed too far, it will jump over the wall. Given the stingy nature of Lin Chengsheng and his men, they would hire a defense lawyer for him, but it would be impossible for them to hire such a powerful person given their financial ability.
What's more, this person came from Beijing, which is really intriguing.
Jiang Ninglu quickly went through her mind who she had offended in Beijing. It was obvious that someone was deliberately trying to go against her.
After much thought, it could be either her former agent or Su Baiwei.
But wasn't Su Baiwei rumored to have returned to her hometown? She had recently been a minor trending topic. Someone photographed her selling fish in a market, looking dusty and dirty. If she moved a little too slowly, the man next to her would scold her.
That is Qian Ze, but Qian Ze probably doesn’t know that he was the one who did those things. Even if he wants revenge, it will not be on him, not to mention that he deserves it.
As for those people whose houses collapsed, what I said publicly made them quite embarrassed.
But the collapse of the house was their own fault. There was no need to specifically investigate her and find such a powerful lawyer to travel all the way to a remote mountain place to compete with her.
What's the point?
Jiang Ninglu was puzzled.
At this time, someone posted these rumors in the village online, along with Chen Xiuyun's crying video. In the video, she and her uncle's families sighed, their faces full of sadness and helplessness, lamenting that they had raised an ungrateful child.
This video quickly spread online. Whether it was a short video platform or a hot topic on Weibo, it was flooded with reports exposing Jiang Ninglu's true face. Beneath her friendly and harmless appearance was the vicious heart of "The Farmer and the Snake".
Jiang Ninglu gained a lot of fans because of her recent experience of identifying scumbags through garbage sorting and her metaphysical physique when she joined Zheng Duo's crew to film. She has become a hot topic online. As long as there is an entry about her, many people will click on it to take a look, wanting to know what strange things have happened to her recently.
Unexpectedly, this time, they found that the "Master of Scumbag Identification" himself had collapsed.
It turns out that Jiang Ninglu is from the countryside. After her parents fell off a cliff and died, she was adopted by a kind-hearted family in the village. They raised her with great difficulty, sent her to school, and helped her enter the entertainment industry. Unexpectedly, after she became famous, they turned their backs on her and even returned to the place where she was raised to fight for property. She is simply ambitious and ungrateful!
Before, everyone felt that they were badly deceived by Su Baiwei, the little white flower, so they poured all their love and care on Jiang Ninglu.
Who would have thought that he would be backstabbed again? Jiang Ninglu was also a person who disguised himself well and was two-faced.
Jiang Lingxue looked at the public opinion on the Internet and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
It was worth it that she spent a lot of money to buy the popularity of major platforms this time. And unlike in the past when Jiang Ninglu stayed out of it, this time, it was a real thing that happened to Jiang Ninglu herself. As long as she continued to fight the lawsuit and continued to oppose her uncles, public opinion would not be biased towards her.
However, after watching these videos, Jiang Mingyi found that he was not as happy as he expected.
It was strange. He obviously hated Jiang Ninglu. When the recording of the variety show on the island ended, everyone hugged Jiang Ninglu and said goodbye, but he was the only one who said goodbye reluctantly.
Unlike Jiang Lingxue, the image of Jiang Ninglu in his memory was very vague, or even he had no impression of her at all.
After all, he was only three and a half years old when Jiang Ninglu went missing. He only occasionally heard the servants at home mention her, but was soon scolded by his mother and told not to mention her.
Later she was recognized by her father, who said he would bring her back.
Then when he saw her again on the show, Jiang Ninglu was just an uninvited guest who suddenly broke into their home. She was arrogant and never had a good face in front of him.
Jiang Mingyi knew clearly that he hated Jiang Ninglu.
But when he saw in the video that the place where she grew up was so remote and backward, he was not very happy.
They were fighting over the property of two uncles who looked very poor.
How short of money is Jiang Ninglu and how miserable is her life?
Song Leyao and Shen Zhi also noticed this.
Both of them knew the situation in Jiang Ninglu's family, and they knew at a glance that the two uncles and aunts were lying.
Chen Zhi had been in contact with Jiang Ninglu and knew that she had been in trouble since she returned to the village.
Song Leyao and Shen Zhi did not know each other, but they both clarified things for Jiang Ninglu online.
But their voices did not have much effect because they found that they were restricted!
Shit!
Song Leyao couldn't help but curse.
On the other side, Jiang Ninglu put down his phone.
She already knew everything that was happening on the Internet. Her adoptive father gestured anxiously and asked her what to do. Otherwise, he would record a video to clarify things for her and tell everyone that it was not what his eldest brother and his sister-in-law said.
Xiaolu is a good kid, and it is those people who are confusing right and wrong.
Jiang Ninglu comforted her adoptive father and told him not to worry.
And it’s useless for him to record a video now. Chen Zhi told her that the number of people who spoke up for her has been restricted.
It seems that someone is indeed behind them, and the other party's strength should not be underestimated.
But she couldn't figure out why the other party did this.
However, this is not her current focus.
The most important thing at the moment is that because of the defense lawyer who inexplicably appeared in my uncle's family, their chances of winning the lawsuit may be slim, and their request for redistribution of the inheritance is very likely to be rejected.
After all, it has been too long and there is no proof of will, so it is difficult to win this lawsuit.
At this moment, Lin Chengwang seemed to remember something and told Jiang Ninglu, "I seem to remember that your grandparents might have made a will."
Lin Chengwang recalled the events of more than ten years ago, gesturing as he said, "At that time, Dad was seriously ill, and Mom fell ill out of worry. My eldest and second brothers were unwilling to take care of them, and my eldest and second sisters-in-law only came every few days. I was the only one who took care of them."
"I remember one time when I was changing the water, I heard Mom and Dad sighing in the room before entering. They were talking about what I would do if they were gone. Dad said he wanted to make a will and asked Mom to help him up."
"But then my parents passed away, and I never saw the will. I don't know if they were just talking about it or if they actually made it and I just didn't see it."
Jiang Ninglu also knew what happened after that. They were driven to the dilapidated house at the end of the village and were told that this was the place left to them by their grandparents. They had no proof and could not compete with their eldest and second uncles, so they could only endure being bullied by them.
Lin Chengwang finished speaking, his eyes dimming: "But it's been too long, I don't know if I remembered it correctly."
Jiang Ninglu's eyes rolled and his mind suddenly became clear.
It is easy to find out whether my grandparents have made a will. I just need to confirm with my uncles.
If my grandparents really made a will, and they were the ones who took care of the funeral arrangements, it is impossible for them not to know about it, and they would try every possible means to get the will certificate.
If it is not established, it will be easier. She will fight this lawsuit to the end. Even if the other party is a big name in the legal field, she will not admit defeat.
Jiang Ninglu opened the system panel and found the reflector.
Last time, the reflector played a big role on the short man who blackmailed Director Zheng and Yang Pengfei. As long as I go to my uncles, pretend to reconcile with them, and then use the reflector to trick them into talking, I will know the truth.
However, when I turned on the reflector skill, I found that it didn't work.
The small mirror icon turned gray, and the skill introduction next to it also turned gray, leaving only a small fan-shaped box similar to the loading interface.
Jiang Ninglu asked 0328 what was going on.
0328: [Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, some superpowers are one-time, some have limited range, and some, like the reflector, have a cooldown period. Let me check, this one has a cooldown period of three months, so there's still a long time before the next use.]
Jiang Ninglu: “…”
This "superpower system" never lets her down.
Jiang Ninglu had to look through other superpowers, hoping to find one that could extract the truth from others, such as the "truth serum" in fantasy novels.
But obviously, with her current understanding of the system, she knew that there would be no such good thing.
However, after searching for a long time, she found a superpower that seemed to meet her requirements - the teacher's ruler.
[Just tap the palm of a child's hand gently with this ruler when they make a mistake, and they will admit their mistake.]
Isn’t this a disguised lie detector and the “truth serum” she needs!
If used to interrogate criminals and suspects, every question will be answered accurately!
Jiang Ninglu excitedly took the small ruler from the virtual panel.
Like the reflector, the "Teacher's Ruler" also has a cooling time, and I don't know if it's because its hidden effect is too powerful, its cooling time is one year.
The first use is not like a reflector that can be used freely within the specified time. Instead, once this superpower is activated, it will lose its effectiveness within 24 hours regardless of whether it is used or not. If you want to use it again, you can only wait until next year.
In other words, time is running out.
Jiang Ninglu needs to use this small ruler to knock on the palms of the two uncles or aunts within 24 hours, and then get information from them.
But now the relationship between the two parties has become so tense that they have even reached the point of going to court. How could they possibly stretch out their hands and let her hit them?
There was no other way. Jiang Ninglu frowned and thought for a moment, and could only find another way.
She immediately took a taxi to town to buy a few bottles of good wine, and also bought a bunch of gifts that both adults and children would like, and carried the bags to her uncle's house.
The houses of her eldest uncle and second uncle were neighbors. When she went there, the two families were in the living room of her eldest uncle's house, and it was obvious that they were discussing how to deal with them.
But Jiang Ninglu didn't care. She adjusted her expression and walked in with a smile.
Lin Chengsheng was startled when he saw this. His eyes moved to the bottles of obviously expensive wine and the large bags she was carrying. A gleam flashed in his eyes, but he was a little unsure of her thoughts, so he teased, "Hey, Xiaolu, what are you doing? Didn't you say you would never set foot in your uncle's house again?"
Jiang Ninglu put the things on the table, continued to smile, and then bowed to them solemnly.
"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt. I was ignorant and caused trouble as soon as I got home, causing you so much trouble. I've calmed down and thought about it carefully these past two days. I'm wrong. As a junior, I shouldn't disrespect you. After all, you watched me grow up, but I'm ungrateful and want to sue you."
"Now I've thought it through. We're a family, and I shouldn't have done this. I won't fight the lawsuit anymore, and I won't fight for the land. Dad and I have already discussed the land in front of our house. I'll do as you say. You're right. You're our elder, and renovating the fish pond to raise fish is for our own good. I didn't think it through. I'm sorry."
Everyone in the living room was surprised when they heard Jiang Ninglu's words.
Especially Chen Xiuyun, she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
"Little Deer, what are you doing?"
She couldn't quite believe that this clever girl had suddenly changed her personality, leaving her bewildered for a moment.
But after being surprised, Lin Chengsheng thought that Jiang Ninglu had given in, and it must be because she was frightened by the lawyer found for them by the stranger.
There are also things happening online. I heard that the video they recorded was very effective. Whether it was people in the village or people online, everyone was calling Jiang Ninglu an ungrateful person.
My son said that these things will have a great impact on celebrities in the entertainment industry, and in serious cases they may lose their jobs.
The little deer was probably afraid of losing his job, so he was scared and wanted to compromise with them.
Lin Chengsheng is a person who is particularly prone to inflated. Especially when he saw his niece who had been showing off in recent days lower her proud head, he felt extremely proud.
He decided to play the role of a patriarch and not argue with the younger generation. He waved his hand and said, "Xiaolu, look at what you said. We elders also did things that were inappropriate. But since you recognize your mistakes and are willing to reconcile with us, let's forget about it. Have you eaten yet? I'll ask your aunt to cook a few dishes. We'll have dinner at your uncle's house tonight. When you first came back last time, I told you to come to our house for dinner, but you didn't come."
Jiang Ninglu snapped his fingers in his heart: I've been waiting for you to say this.
Zhao Fang tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes. She didn't want her niece to stay for dinner. Her son had been beaten for no reason in their home, and his body was still covered with scars.
Although she believed that the two old spirits had appeared to punish her son, she still attributed the source of the problem to Jiang Ninglu, thinking that all these incidents were caused by this wild girl.
Chen Xiuyun felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
But since her elder brother had already expressed his opinion, she couldn't say anything. Besides, she really liked the necklace, jade bracelet and other things that Jiang Ninglu bought for her, so she didn't want to refuse such valuable things.
No matter what tricks the little girl is trying to play, they now have a mysterious boss from Beijing to help them. She wants to see what Jiang Ninglu is up to tonight.
Her husband ignored Zhao Fang's little gesture and told her to go to the kitchen to cook.
Zhao Fang did not dare to disobey her husband, so she had to go to the kitchen reluctantly and called her daughter Lin Duo to help.
After Lin Dong's injury healed a little, he ran off to play somewhere unknown, so at this time there were only Jiang Ninglu, his uncle, second uncle and second aunt at the dinner table.
This is perfect, all the key people are here.
Jiang Ninglu looked at the three people under the lamp and smiled meaningfully.
Punishment time has come.
