Lin Jiujiu didn't give her a chance to argue. She gently pushed Lin Xiaomei away, and Lin Xiaomei felt her body become lighter. When she came to her senses, she was already at the door.
The eldest sister-in-law, Madam Hu, quickly helped her up.
"Little sister, don't go out and cause trouble for second sister. She's already in danger dealing with those people, and she has to take time to protect you too."
Madam Hu looked at Lin Xiaomei with disapproval.
She could tell that her second sister, who had been stolen when she was young, was truly capable.
Lin Xiaomei originally wanted to refute, but when she thought of what Lin Jiujiu had just done, she immediately fell silent.
She silently lowered her head. Madam Hu thought that she had spoken too harshly and hurt her sister-in-law. She was about to explain that she had no other meaning.
Then Lin Xiaomei suddenly raised her head, her eyes showing no trace of loneliness.
She looked at Hu Shi with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Sister-in-law, Second Sister really knows kung fu, right? Right?"
Lin Xiaomei excitedly tugged at Hu Shi's sleeve, repeatedly asking questions, hoping to get her approval.
Hu was caught off guard by her question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Mrs. Hu didn't know how to answer, and Lin Xiaomei didn't press her further.
Releasing her sleeve, he turned his head, his bright eyes looking at Lin Jiujiu, who was confronting someone in the courtyard.
He crossed his fingers into fists and looked on with longing.
"Do you think my second sister would teach me kung fu if I asked her?"
Mrs. Hu was at a loss for words when she heard this question.
After all, she's her sister-in-law, not her biological sister.
If it were her own sister, she would definitely grab her ear and scold her, "What kind of behavior is it for a young lady to be fighting and killing all day long?"
But after glancing at Lin Jiujiu, who stood guard in the courtyard, she put the thought aside.
Given Second Sister's situation, if she weren't tough and didn't know some martial arts, she probably would have been bullied to death by these people long ago.
Just as Hu was thinking this, the situation in the courtyard changed again.
The situation, which had seemed to be in their grasp, has changed again.
"Why are you making such a racket in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? What kind of nonsense are you spouting, Lin?"
Before the person even entered, a shout came from outside the courtyard.
The person who came was none other than Lin Tianfang, the patriarch of the Lin family.
Lin Tianfang is not only the patriarch of the Lin family, but also the village chief of their village and Lin Jiujiu's great-uncle.
Logically speaking, given this relationship, being from the same Lin family, even if Lin Tianfang dislikes Lin Jiujiu, he shouldn't have placed all the blame on her before even meeting her.
As Lin Tian finished speaking, a petite girl entered before him.
She was more than a head shorter than Lin Jiujiu, who had a slim waist and long legs, and was even shorter than Lin Xiaomei, who was only fourteen years old.
She rushed into the courtyard without paying attention to anyone else and went straight to Lin Jiujiu.
"Jiujiu, are you alright? Just now, Madam Sun went door to door saying that you seduced her man and wanted everyone to come and catch you in the act. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I called Grandfather over."
Lin Jiujiu looked at the girl in front of her who was looking up at her expectantly, and whose words sounded like concern, but whose eyes were actually full of amusement. She couldn't help but smile.
This must be the only good friend in the original owner's memories.
How interesting. The original owner considered her her only friend, but it's clear that the other person only saw her as a joke.
How blind must the original owner be to not see the malice hidden beneath her caring gaze?
Every word she said sounded like concern, but it was also a reminder to the onlookers what they were there for.
This is to confirm that Lin Jiujiu is seducing people.
Lin Jiujiu didn't expose her directly, but just stared at her, even with a slight smile on her lips.
However, his eyes no longer held the gentle trust he usually showed her; instead, they were full of scrutiny.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine, but luckily her grandfather called her name at that moment.
"Xiaoxiao, how many times have I told you to stay away from people like this, lest they tarnish your reputation."
Lin Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Now you're complaining about her bad reputation?
So who was it that encouraged Lin Xiaoxiao to build a good relationship with her in the first place?
They thought that she had been switched at birth by a wealthy family, and even if she was sent back now, after raising her for so many years, her adoptive parents, no matter how harsh, would still let her bring back the clothes and accessories she usually wore.
Not to mention that she was raised as a young lady by a wealthy family in the capital, even the maids and servants in the gentry families of the county town were dressed better than them.
Even if you take one or two items from her, you'll still make a profit.
They just didn't expect that the Lin family in the capital knew from the beginning that Lin Jiujiu was not their daughter, so why would they really take good care of her?
Not only was she deprived of food and clothing from childhood, but the clothes she was wearing on the day she was sent back were old clothes that the concubine's daughters in the mansion didn't want, and the sleeves were too short.
But even so, Lin Xiaoxiao still took it.
Lin Jiujiu looked her up and down. Sure enough, she was wearing the same outfit that Lin Jiujiu had worn when she came back.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine from that look. She didn't know what Lin Jiujiu meant, or if she already knew about what Lin Jiujiu had done.
Seeing her guilty look, Lin Jiujiu already had a plan in mind.
This person she hadn't spoken to in a long time suddenly came to her house this afternoon. Not long after she left, the original owner felt something was wrong, her head was spinning and her vision was blurry. She didn't even have time to lock the door before she fell into a deep sleep. Now it seems that it really is related to her.
