Ignoring Lin's mother's attempts to stop him, he stepped forward and began to scuffle with her.
When the others saw that Lin's mother was pulled away, they followed suit and pulled at Lin's father and the other brothers in the Lin family.
Those people, always eager for a good show, were unwilling to let the matter pass easily. Even though it had nothing to do with them, they still used their bodies to separate Lin's father and the Lin brothers.
The purpose was to allow Sun to lead people in and catch the adulterers in the act.
"Bang"
A loud bang.
The courtyard gate was kicked open from the outside, and what they saw left everyone dumbfounded.
Lin Jiujiu stood unharmed at the door, while her so-called stolen man lay half-dead in the middle of the yard.
When Sun saw this, she was terrified and immediately rushed to the man's side without thinking.
"Honey, honey, how are you? Who beat you up like this?"
"laugh……"
As soon as she said that, Lin Jiujiu couldn't help but chuckle.
This is her home. Is there anyone else here besides her?
Is this Mrs. Sun out of her mind or what? She even asked who hit her? Who else could it be?
Lin Jiujiu's voice drew all eyes to her.
Lin's mother broke free from the pull of her sisters-in-law, Sun, and squeezed into the courtyard.
"Jiu'er, are you alright?"
Lin's mother looked Lin Jiujiu up and down, and only felt a little relieved when she couldn't see anything wrong.
He then quickly stepped in front of her.
"Jiu'er, don't be afraid. With your mother here, who would dare to bully you? They'd have to step over my dead body first."
As soon as Lin's mother finished speaking, Lin's father squeezed in with his two sons.
Although they didn't speak, the three of them lined up in a row, protecting the mother and daughter behind them, which said it all.
Lin Jiujiu blinked, a tear welling up in her eyes.
This was not her will, but rather the lingering emotions of the original owner at work.
The original owner of this body was from a farming family. Although the family was not wealthy, the parents had a good relationship and loved their siblings very much.
But the couple were both honest and kind people.
More than ten years ago, the original owner's mother was six months pregnant when she returned to her parents' home to celebrate her father's birthday. On the way, she was caught in a sudden downpour, and the couple took shelter in a dilapidated temple. Unexpectedly, they encountered a noblewoman who suddenly went into premature labor.
Although the noblewoman had several servants, they were all young maids, with only one old woman who had never given birth.
Left with no other option, Lin's mother, who already had experience with childbirth, stepped forward to help.
However, she was already six months pregnant at that time, and her belly was huge. After finally helping that noblewoman give birth, she was so exhausted that she went into labor early.
The two women each gave birth to a daughter in the same dilapidated temple.
However, what the couple never expected was that the man would take advantage of the chaos to switch the two children.
At first, Lin's mother thought it was a mistake made in the rush, after all, she had personally delivered that noblewoman's child.
When she regained consciousness and held the child, she immediately recognized that the child was not hers.
However, by the time Lin's father chased after them, the noble lady and her entourage had already vanished without a trace.
The two had no choice but to take the baby girl back with them.
The children are innocent, and the couple has never told anyone this secret.
He raised the baby girl as if she were his own, and even felt that it was a disgrace for a noblewoman like her to be relegated to the countryside, so he tried his best to treat her well.
She is better than the other children in the family.
It wasn't until four years ago, when that family came looking for Lin Jiujiu and brought her back, that they realized it was all part of that family's scheme.
Their encounter with that family was accidental, but the child swap was not.
Instead, it was specially made by the lady of the house. The villagers didn't understand the reasons behind it; they only knew that the family had fallen on hard times in those years.
When they encountered the noblewoman, she was also being chased.
He deliberately switched Lin Jiujiu's babies in order to save his own child's life.
That person already knew that Lin Jiujiu was not their child. In front of outsiders, she pretended to be a kind mother, but behind the scenes, she allowed the servants in the mansion to bully and humiliate her.
After Lin Jiujiu returned home, her mother was determined to make it up to her, but she didn't expect that she would be caught off guard.
Her precious daughter, whom she had finally managed to regain, was used by her grandparents to replace her cousin and marry Xiao Tianyi, the third son of the Xiao family.
The third son of the Xiao family was originally a rare scholar in the village. Old Master Lin had an old friendship with the Xiao family and had arranged a marriage between his most beloved granddaughter, Lin Miao'er, and Xiao Tianyi early on.
Unfortunately, Xiao Tianyi's parents died unjustly one after another, while his grandparents were extremely biased.
Using the excuse that Xiao Tianyi needed to study and was unable to take care of his younger brother, they coerced him into transferring the brothers' household registration to his uncle's name under the guise of filial piety.
Uncle Xiao's family already had a son who was studying, so how could they possibly support Xiao Tianyi to continue his studies?
The once-proud son of heaven has become the least favored member of his family.
Four years ago, the government conscripted laborers to build a reservoir, requiring each family to provide one adult male. Xiao Tianyi, being a superfluous person, was naturally pushed out by the Xiao family.
He was a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken, so it was basically destined that he would never return.
However, fearing gossip behind his back, the Xiao family came up with a terrible idea: to have him marry Lin Miao'er before he went to perform his corvée labor.
In this way, even if Xiao Tianyi leaves, his wife will still have to stay in the Xiao family and work like a slave.
Incidentally, she can also leave Xiao Tianyi's younger brother, who is still breastfeeding, to be taken care of.
