Chapter 164 The one who provokes first is despicable
Lin Yuesha learned of the Xuan family's massacre two days later.
"I heard that the Xuan family was very wealthy and was targeted by bandits. After the family was wiped out, all their money was looted."
Lord Zhang was overwhelmed with work and didn't even have a proper New Year's celebration. He was busy dealing with this case, while the people were preoccupied with the New Year and no one paid any attention to the Xuan family. Not a ripple of trouble was made.
The bearded man, well-informed, sent a message to Lin Yuesha.
"The Xuan family was wiped out?"
Lin Yuesha was surprised. That family had been a notorious bully in the village. If Xuan Yao hadn't died, the Xuan family might not have been so arrogant. It's good that things are like this now, the whole family can reunite in the underworld.
"Miss Lin, aren't you afraid?"
Upon learning the truth, the bearded man couldn't help but ask, "Our master was ruthless. He didn't do it himself, but instead sent a message to a group of bandits nearby, using them as a tool to kill."
Why should I be afraid?
Lin Yuesha was stunned. They were not related by blood, but were enemies. So what if they died? She didn't kill them. Why should she be afraid?
The bearded man: "..."
"What about He Xing's mother? Did He Xing's mother know about Xuan Yao and He Xing's deaths?"
The sudden and brutal massacre of the Xuan family left Lin Yuesha with some doubts. After all, this family knew her secret and even tried to harm her. If they could all go to the underworld together, she would have no worries about the future.
Lin Yuesha drank the prescription given by the pockmarked face for two days, but hasn't seen any effect yet. She plans to continue for a month and see.
“At first, she was unaware of it. He Xingniang went to the Xuan family to look for someone, and then went to the yamen to report to the authorities, and asked the yamen officials to find He Xing’s whereabouts.”
A doting mother often spoils her son. He Xing's character is largely due to his mother's upbringing. His roots were crooked, and he ended up like this. He brought this upon himself.
When He Xingniang learned that her son had been executed by the Prince of Zhenbei for having an affair with Xuan Yao, she went mad.
“His mother only had one son, and she couldn’t handle any stress. She cried all day long and often wandered the streets.”
The bearded man paid no attention to He Xingniang, and the Jiang family made no move to acknowledge her.
Yes, the He family has been scheming against the Jiang family all along, and Jiang Baozhu's decision not to kick them when they're down shows she has great self-control.
If it were him, he would definitely beat a dog when it's down and give He Xingniang a good dressing down.
"Is there any news from my family?"
Lin Yuesha's questions deepened, and she felt that someone was involved and stirring things up, but that person had no ill intentions towards her family.
Could it be that she saved Shion? Besides Shion, I don't know any other mysterious figures with such abilities.
“Your parents and eldest brother went back to Chenjia Village. They visited your mother’s family on the second day of the Lunar New Year. They said they wanted to buy a piece of land from the clan chief. If it doesn’t snow in a few days and the roads are easy to travel, they will come to Hanmen Pass to see you.”
After the bearded man finished speaking, he glanced behind Lin Yuesha and saw Hongtao's shadow. Without saying anything more, he turned and fled in panic.
This girl with the red heart is way too enthusiastic!
"Sister Yue Sha, are you just standing here in the northwest wind?"
Hongtao glanced at the sky. It had snowed heavily all night, and she had only been out for a short while. Her cheeks were red from the cold. She touched Lin Yuesha's icy face and said, "You haven't even started your period yet, so you need to take it seriously. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, in excruciating pain. That feeling..."
After moving away from Xuan Yao's courtyard, Hong Tao genuinely treated Lin Yue Sha like a younger sister, constantly nagging her about it.
"I know, I'll go back now."
Lin Yuesha didn't mention Big Beard. She noticed that when Big Beard saw Red Heart, he would run as far away as a mouse would when it saw a cat.
What are you doing there?
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there wasn't much work to be done at home.
After a year of hard work, the Spring Festival is the happiest time for everyone in the household. They gather in twos and threes to drink and play cards, and stay indoors on the warm kang (heated brick bed), wishing they could stay indoors.
Hongtao was holding a package and was trying to hide it behind her back when Lin Yuesha spotted it.
"This is an undergarment made for... for Brother Bai."
Last night, the oil lamp in the room burned all night. In the morning, the lamp oil ran out, and Lin Yuesha thought she had forgotten to turn it off. Unexpectedly, after she fell asleep, Hongtao secretly got up to do chores again.
Making an undergarment for a man—the implications are self-evident, and both parties understand each other perfectly.
"Cough cough."
Lin Yuesha coughed. Actually, she really wanted to point it out, but judging from the bearded man's attitude, Hongtao might have misunderstood something.
But the bearded man clearly sent the red peach silk flower first. The one who initiates the flirtation is the one who loses face. If he didn't like the red peach, why let the other party misunderstand? Can a man just cast a wide net? And the red peach might just turn into another Xuan Yao.
"Sister Red Peach, why are you so good to him?"
After much thought, Lin Yuesha concluded that the bearded man was probably a scoundrel who cast a wide net. Although the bearded man was the pockmarked man's good friend, he was clearly not as honest as the pockmarked man.
"If I'm not good to him, who am I good to?"
Hongtao looked at Lin Yuesha in surprise. After all, the bearded man was her savior, so his treatment was naturally different.
Besides, she already has someone she loves.
"Little girl, you're not judging a book by its cover, are you?"
Lin Yuesha, a teacher at Hongtao Education, believes that men should never be judged by their appearance, but rather by their reliability; ugliness provides a sense of security.
"Um..."
Lin Yuesha decided to retort. She rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Hongtao, actually I have a new idea."
If one is handsome and the other is ugly, and they are both scum, at least the handsome one is pleasing to the eye, while the ugly one is not only unattractive but also disgusting to look at. You have to put up with his ugliness and scumbag nature, so you end up getting nothing.
Since that's the case, why not find someone you find pleasing to the eye?
The kind with a big beard, a face covered in a thick, dark stubble, you wouldn't even dare to kiss them.
"Little sister Yue Sha, you are so young, how can you have such thoughts?"
Hongtao was stunned. Who said men are necessarily fickle? The Brother Bai she met was the one who saved her from dire straits!
Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue. She had hinted at it, but if she gave up now, Hongtao probably wouldn't understand.
"Sister Red Heart, how did you know his size?"
Lin Yuesha stared at Hongtao, wondering if the two of them had already had physical contact in the past two days without her knowledge.
"Don't overthink it, Brother Bai is a gentleman."
Hongtao glared at Lin Yuesha, thinking to herself, "This little girl has such complicated thoughts."
She can sew clothes; she only needs to glance at them to estimate the size, and the size will be accurate enough that they will definitely fit.
After finishing her sentence, Hongtao took the opportunity to tease Lin Yuesha, saying, "The needlework you're learning now is the simplest and most basic. If you want to reach my standards, it would take you two years even if you did all the work every day."
Little girl, you have a long road ahead of you.
Lin Yuesha: "..."
Two years? You can't rush things, but she didn't intend to waste two years on needlework!
Sure enough, slow and steady wins the race, and she still has a long way to go.
Lin Yuesha clutched the purse in her arms. Luckily, she hadn't given it to the bearded man. She would study it when she got back and give it to the pockmarked man when she was satisfied, so as not to be ridiculed.
