Chapter 69 Eliminate the Weeds at the Root
"You dare hit me?" Lin Jinxiu covered her face, full of disbelief. Even though she had heard many legendary stories about Lin Zhaozhao from 009, in her heart, Lin Zhaozhao was still something she could play with like a toy, just like last time.
"If I could, I'd like to cut you into a thousand pieces." A sinister voice enveloped the room, scaring Lin Jinxiu so much that she collapsed to the ground. Lin Zhaozhao smiled faintly, "Tsk, I was just joking, and you're already this scared. If I really did it, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
"As the saying goes, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. But if you accumulate too much bad karma, you will suffer retribution." Lin Zhaozhao's words were full of hidden meanings. The listener was confused and didn't understand, but to Lin Jinxiu, it was like seeing a demon, filling her with fear and dread.
Two contradictory thoughts flashed through her mind: one was that Lin Zhaozhao was implying that she would stop at nothing to protect Lin Jin, and the other was that Lin Zhaozhao remembered the time she made her jump off a cliff.
If it's the former, Lin Jinxiu is fearless; but if it's the latter, once Lin Zhaozhao makes her experiences known to everyone, she will be labeled a witch, and her future will be uncertain.
If Lin Zhaozhao's intentions were obvious, Lin Jinxiu could guess a bit, but since she was being coy and veiled, it felt like a thousand ants were crawling all over Lin Jinxiu's heart.
Mental torture is even more deadly.
Lin Jinxiu kept covering her face, her eyelids drooping. Her anxiety was replaced by ruthlessness. Since she couldn't determine Lin Zhaozhao's intentions, she would just eliminate everyone related to Lin Zhaozhao.
Having made up her mind, Lin Jinxiu returned to normal, ordered her servants to leave the food behind, and led Lin Fugui, Zheng Lianhua, and Lin Jin away triumphantly.
Lin Zhaozhao watched the departing carriage, then glanced at the grain scattered on the ground. She gave Li Xiujuan and Lin Yangyang a look, and the two immediately opened the bags and started hawking their wares at the usual prices, all the while mentioning the good reputation of Lin Jinxiu's shop.
After the grain was sold, Lin Yangyang did not forget to throw the money she got from selling the grain into the second branch of the Lin family.
Lin Zhaozhao: Let's snatch the bamboo shoots!
Well done.
Zhang Family
Zhang Dandan's disappearance did not cause a big commotion in the Zhang family. As usual, Old Mrs. Zhang prepared the meal and called the Zhang family members to eat.
He was usually very enthusiastic, but today, after waiting for a long time without any response, Grandma Zhang felt uneasy. Just as she was about to take a step to call out, she heard her grandson's strange laughter.
Grandma Zhang rushed over and saw her grandson Zhang Bufan waving his hand blankly. His face was contorted in pain, but he was laughing involuntarily. The sound of his laughter sent chills down her spine. She wanted to go forward, but then she saw Zhang Bufan running away in terror as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhang could easily see that something was wrong. She quickly restrained Zhang Bufan and told Zhang Bufan to go and fetch a doctor.
The wait was particularly unbearable. Old Mrs. Zhang tried everything she could, but Zhang Bufan managed to break free several times. After finally managing to subdue him again, she had no choice but to lock her grandson in the house and ask Old Mr. Zhang for help.
But the scene she saw when she entered the house made her burst into tears. Old Zhang was lying on the ground, his face covered in blood, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he couldn't move his hands and feet. Because he had been exposed to the air for too long, his exposed skin was frostbitten and turned blue. Old Mrs. Zhang was extremely anxious and quickly took Old Zhang off onto the bed and covered him tightly with a quilt.
"What kind of sins have we committed?"
In the midst of the chaos, the doctor arrived, examined Old Zhang first, confirmed that he had suffered a stroke, and prescribed only a few doses of medicine.
