Chapter Three: Bi Yuntao's Vicious Scheme
Lin Baozhu turned her head and saw two tall men walking in with angry expressions. The one in the lead had bulging muscles and looked very fierce.
According to memory, this is the original owner's third brother, Lin Sanlang. Although he has a bad temper, he is a sister-obsessed brother.
Following behind Lin Sanlang was the Smiling Tiger Lin Erlang.
If Lin Sanlang's antics are out in the open, then Lin Erlang is the kind of person who is cunning and wicked, smiling on the surface but ruthless behind the scenes.
When Bi Yuntao saw the two of them return, his expression immediately froze.
The fear of being dominated by the five Lin brothers made his fingertips tremble violently, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down in his tense neck.
He had intended to call off the engagement while the men of the Lin family were away, but unexpectedly, the two most troublesome members of the Lin family returned ahead of schedule.
"You son of a bitch!" Lin Sanlang rushed up to Bi Yuntao and swung his fist, as big as a sandbag, at his face.
With a "bang," Bi Yuntao's nose was covered in blood. Before he could react, he was punched in the stomach, causing him to bend over and vomit bile.
Enraged, Lin Sanlang continued to punch Bi Yuntao in the head and stomach.
"You bastard, you bullied my mother and sister while we were away. I haven't beaten you up all these years, have you forgotten how many eyes Lord Ma has?"
Lin Sanlang hit and cursed at the same time.
Only when Bi Yuntao lay curled up on the ground, unable to move, did Lin Erlang slowly speak: "Third brother, what are you doing? Stop it! If you really beat him seriously, we'll have to spend money to treat him."
Lin Erlang looked at the person lying on the ground groaning in pain, and slowly walked forward. He reached out to Bi Yuntao and helped him up from the ground. His red and thin lips seemed to come close to his ear unintentionally, and he whispered: "I don't say anything about your ambiguous relationship with Zhao Xiaoyu from the educated youth institute, but how dare you throw mud at my sister and try to break off the engagement?"
"I think you've forgotten how you got this job in the first place. Should I go to your factory and have a serious talk with your manager?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Yuntao's face turned deathly pale. He gripped Lin Erlang's sleeve tightly, his teeth chattering as he said, "Second Brother, I was wrong! I'll pay you back! I'll bring it within an hour!"
Lin Erlang laughed and shook off his hand, then took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his fingers as if they were dirty.
"It would have been so much better if you had done this earlier! Remember this: if you lose even one point, your secure job will be replaced with an enamel mug and you'll be begging for food."
Lin Erlang's smile lingered, but his eyes were filled with icy coldness.
Upon hearing this, Bi Yuntao nodded hastily, but a venomous glint flashed in his lowered eyes.
That family of scoundrels, just wait, he'll make sure Lin Erlang dies in the machine factory!!
Grandma You looked at Bi Yuntao, who had been humiliated, and opened her mouth to say something, but Bi Yuntao grabbed her wrist and whispered, "Mother, the Lin family man is back. We won't get any advantage here. Let's talk about it at home."
In the end, the Bi family mother and son left in a sorry state.
The Lin family members, who were left with smiles on their faces, were not happy because they had defeated the Bi family mother and son. Such a small victory was not worth celebrating.
They were happy because their little sister had finally seen the light and was no longer like before, blindly infatuated with that scumbag Bi Yuntao as if she were under a spell. The whole family had been so worried about that.
Lin Erlang rubbed Lin Baozhu's head, laughing like a fox who had stolen a chicken. "Little sister, as the saying goes, you can fall in love with one person after another. There will always be another one. Don't let one scumbag delay your exploration of the whole forest."
There are plenty of strong, young men in the machine factory who are taller and more handsome than him, and both their parents work. I'll invite them all over to my house sometime; you can choose whichever you like!
Lin Baozhu pulled Lin Erlang's hand away, wrinkled her nose, and said, "A blessed woman does not enter a door of misfortune. I used to be blind and ignorant, but now I have figured it out through this incident. A beast who would disregard the reputation of others for his own sake would be disgusting even if given to me for free."
"Well said!"
Lin Sanlang slapped his thigh and cheered.
“But that bastard dared to bully your mother and me, this matter cannot be left unresolved! When that kid Bi Yuntao goes to the toilet, I will blow up his outhouse with a firecracker, and he will definitely be covered in shit.”
Lin Erlang glanced at him sideways. "We'll get revenge once we have the money. I'm thinking, once he brings the money, we'll go to the commune's broadcasting station and tell everyone in the commune how Bi Yuntao betrayed his country." A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Without his job, let's see how arrogant he can still be."
Lin Sanlang scratched his head and chuckled, "Second brother, you're smarter than me. Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it. In short, we Lin family members would rather eat shit than suffer a loss."
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother glared and immediately took off her shoe, throwing it at Lin Sanlang.
"You brat, if you can't speak properly, then shut up."
Watching the Lin family members making a scene to avenge her, Lin Baozhu felt incredibly warm inside, even though she knew it was all because of the original owner of this body.
In her past life, she was an orphan. Before she turned eighteen, the apocalypse came, but because she awakened spatial and lightning abilities, she became the strongest person in the orphanage.
In the apocalypse, she was stabbed in the back by her closest loved ones and betrayed by the one she loved most. Now, she longs for love, yet dares not commit to it.
But now, looking at this group of loud and boisterous family members who genuinely protect her, her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
She was feeling a bit dizzy after being outside for so long and needed to sleep for a while to recharge.
Looking at her daughter's pale face, Lin's mother took out two White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and stuffed them into her hand, saying, "Sweetie, you bumped your head and bled a lot today. Go to bed and rest. I'll call you when I've finished cooking."
"Um."

Inside the Bi family's mud-brick house, Old Mrs. You was grabbing Bi Yuntao's arm, wailing and crying, "More than a thousand yuan! Where are we supposed to get so much money? Do you know how hard it has been for us two old folks to raise you and your brother all these years..."
"Alright!" Bi Yuntao impatiently shook off her hand, his eyes flashing with malice.
"I have the money, but I can't just let them get it for nothing!"
He leaned close to Grandma You's ear and whispered, "I remember my cousin's son, Li Qinghao, isn't married yet, right? Although that boy is ugly, at least he has an urban household registration and an uncle who is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative."
Grandma You's eyes lit up: "You mean... let Qinghao pester Lin Baozhu?"
"Why are you bothering her? Are you going to propose marriage..."
Bi Yuntao's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Don't you know what kind of person Li Qinghao is? He's a gambler and a womanizer, and he even has that kind of venereal disease. With Lin Baozhu's reputation ruined like this, what decent family would want her? Once Li Qinghao marries her, the Lin family will be grateful to us for finding Lin Baozhu a husband with urban residency!"
He grew increasingly smug as he spoke, as if he could already see Lin Baozhu suffering terribly after marrying Li Qinghao. The setting sun outside the window stretched his shadow long, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, its tongue flicking…
