Chapter 3 A Journey of Sparks and Lightning



This is the first time something like this has happened. The police have collected evidence and can only say that they will do their best to investigate. If they can catch the culprit, they can recover the property.

But everyone knows they can't catch them.

People who dare to do things openly and honestly aren't afraid of getting caught.

The Lin family provided a year's worth of laughs for the steel mill's residential compound.

Lin Dashan and Lin Heping carried Xu Fen into the house and placed her on the floor, waiting for her to wake up.

They could only put it on the ground; the Lin family was now destitute.

"Did you do it?" Lin Dashan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a gloomy expression.

Xu Fen's words couldn't be baseless. Considering what she and Lin Wanwan said when they came to the factory to complain about Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Dashan could roughly guess that his youngest daughter had changed.

Her house was burgled; it's hard to say whether she deliberately hired someone to do it as revenge.

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's not me, Dad. Give me some money. I need to buy a train ticket to get married in Lin Wanwan's place."

Lin Dashan's blood pressure spiked when he saw her stretching out her hand for money, looking completely innocent.

"I have no money."

"That's such a pity." Lin Xiaoxiao sighed softly. "Our family's entire fortune has been stolen, and we can't return the betrothal gifts from the Qin family. Our whole family will be in jail."

Mentioning the Qin family restored some of Lin Dashan's rationality.

No matter what, the Qin family relationship cannot be severed. Money can still be earned, but if the relationship is severed, it will be completely severed.

“Peace, give her ten yuan.”

Lin Heping complained bitterly, "Dad, where would I get the money? Didn't I give all the money to you and Mom?"

"I told you I would keep it myself, and now it's all gone to that damned thief."

Lin Dashan: "You earn 28.7 yuan a month, but you only give 20 yuan to your family. You still have some left over each month."

Lin Heping pouted, "Does dating cost me nothing?"

He still had money on him, but he didn't want to pay it.

Lin Dashan saw through his little scheme and said in a deep voice, "Give her ten yuan. I'll give it back to you when I get my salary."

Since things had come to this point, Lin Heping had no choice but to pay up, no matter how unwilling he was.

As he handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao, he was still cursing, "You good-for-nothing, if you don't win over that son of the Qin family, I'll beat you to death."

Before going to the police station, Lin Xiaoxiao had already bought a train ticket to Jiangcheng.

This year is 1974, and there are still four years until liberation. Before that, she needs to find a stable place and job.

At this time, a letter of introduction and proof are required to go out. Without a letter of introduction, it is difficult to move an inch. Since the Lin family has already arranged a letter of introduction for her to go to Jiangcheng, then she can go to Jiangcheng.

The movement is in full swing right now, and people are arresting typical cases everywhere on the streets.

No matter what, the one with the gun is the boss.

The man who was to be married in place of her was in the military. Lin Xiaoxiao decided to go and see what the situation was like. If he was a good man and suited her taste, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try.

If it's not a good one, then she'll find a way to get a job and leave her food rations there.

The sky's the limit.

"I have to take the train very early tomorrow morning, and I don't have anywhere to stay at home, so I'll stay at a guesthouse."

After returning to clear her name, Lin Xiaoxiao left.

Regardless of whether the Lin family believes it or not, the public and the police do.

How could a pitiful little girl like her, who had been oppressed by the Lin family for many years, possibly steal everything from the family?

"Today is a good day, we ordinary people are really, really happy..."

Walking onto the street, Lin Xiaoxiao was so happy she almost skipped along.

She was just about to go to a state-run restaurant for a meal when she saw a tall man approach the woman in front of her, snatch her bag, and run away.

"My bag!" the woman exclaimed.

Upon hearing that there was a pickpocket, passersby quickly reached into their pockets to check if their money was still there.

Some concerned citizens chased after the woman, trying to help her get her money back, but the pickpocket was fast and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Just then, a slender figure, as a fish in water, nimbly weaved through the crowd, her short legs leaving afterimages.

They caught up with the pickpocket in no time.

"Ah!" Lin Xiaoxiao jumped, her leg carrying terrifying power, and kicked the pickpocket in the back with a thud.

"Bang!"

The sound of the pickpocket hitting the ground was like a meteorite falling, cracking the road surface and causing passersby to instinctively step back two meters.

The look in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes was also filled with fear.

Is this the kind of strength that ordinary people possess?

Lin Xiaoxiao stepped on the pickpocket's back and put her hands on her hips. "If you do bad things in front of your grandma, you should be prepared to get beaten up."

The pickpocket struggled to raise one hand, saying, "I was wrong."

This era is different from the apocalypse. Lin Xiaoxiao's actions are all bark and no bite. They look terrifying, but in reality, the pickpockets are fine except for a little dizziness and back pain.

If she really kills someone, she'll have to pay with her life; it's not worth it.

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the bag and returned it to the woman.

"Thank you, comrade." The woman wasn't afraid of Lin Xiaoxiao; she knew Lin Xiaoxiao was a good person just from her act of bravery.

Besides money, there were other important things in the bag. If it were lost, the woman wouldn't know how to explain it to her family.

"Thank you so much," she said, having survived the ordeal. "Let me treat you to dinner."

Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing, no need."

After saying that, he left.

The woman watched her retreating figure and thought to herself, "This is really an interesting person."

Lin Xiaoxiao finally had some free time to count the money she had gotten from the Lin family after booking a room at a guesthouse next to the train station with a letter of introduction.

There was 2,323.78 yuan in cash, including 60 yuan that Lin Wanwan had hidden. There weren't many coupons, including grain coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, and sugar coupons. Unexpectedly, there was also a bicycle coupon.

It seems they plan to use it as a bride price when Lin Heping gets married.

The woman's family is also quite well-off; the Lin family really can't get her without spending a lot of money.

Now, the Lin family has nothing left but a courtyard, and Lin Heping's wedding plans have to be postponed again.

This was exactly the effect Lin Xiaoxiao wanted. The original owner had been working like a slave in the Lin family for so many years, and this was just the beginning.

If she hadn't shut them down so quickly, there wouldn't have been any more drama later, and she wouldn't have even left them the house.

While taking a shower, Lin Xiaoxiao discovered that this body was frighteningly thin, with protruding ribs covered by only a layer of skin. Its back, arms, and waist were covered with countless small wounds, some of which had already left scars.

As far as I can remember, Lin Wanwan and Xu Fen would take their anger out on her whenever they were in a bad mood. They broke countless sticks while hitting her. Lin Anquan even made her kneel on the ground and let him ride her like a horse. Lin Dashan and Lin Heping would burn her arms with cigarette butts.

The whole family is heartless; they don't treat Lin Xiaoxiao like a human being at all.

They're definitely not his biological children.

Lin Xiaoxiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He suddenly jumped out of bed, got dressed, and left the guesthouse.

She needs to vent her anger, otherwise it will be bad for her breast tissue.

It was dark, and there were few people on the road. Lin Xiaoxiao made her way to the Lin family's courtyard with lightning speed. She nimbly climbed over the threshold and, just as she reached the door of Lin Dashan and Xu Fen, she heard the two talking inside.
