Chapter 26 The truth that Lin Luodan is the murderer is revealed.
"You're lying, I didn't..." Lin Luodan looked at the sharp-tongued Lin Luoxi in front of her, who had also exposed the truth that she had wanted to kill her before, and her heart began to panic.
Wasn't this idiot supposed to be stupid? How come he suddenly became so sharp-tongued?
If the villagers found out that she had laid a hand on Lin Luoxi, her reputation in Wutong Village would be ruined, and then Wang Xiucai would definitely come to break off the engagement.
No, she couldn't be like Lin Luoxi, rejected in marriage and ridiculed behind her back.
Unbeknownst to her, the villagers were talking about how Lin Luodan was a shameless girl who had stolen her sister's marriage, and no one wanted her.
When Lin Luoxi is mentioned, she is always described as pitiful and is only briefly mentioned.
See? People sympathize with the weak. Knowing that Lin Luoxi is foolish, they naturally don't have much hostility towards her, and some even speak up for her.
"What? Second sister, you're saying Lin Luodan pushed you into the river?" Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Lin Wenqian's entire aura changed, and he glared at Lin Luodan through gritted teeth.
"I didn't, this idiot is talking nonsense." Lin Luodan still didn't believe that Lin Luoxi was no longer an idiot, and fearing that Lin Wenqian would really cause trouble for her, she directly said that Lin Luoxi was talking nonsense.
"Lin Luodan, that's enough. You should be glad my sister is awake now, otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here alive."
"My sister is simple-minded, but she would never say anything reckless or harm anyone." Lin Wenqian now felt like he wanted to devour Lin Luodan.
"Get lost! If you ever show your face in front of me again, I'll make you pay!" Lin Wenqian pulled a sickle from his basket and swung it at Lin Luodan as if to strike.
It's his fault for not becoming strong enough, which led to the Lin family, whom he wanted to protect, always being ridden around by these wolves in sheep's clothing.
"Hmph! You just wait." When Lin Luodan saw Lin Wenqian's scythe swinging over, she thought he was going to kill her. She was so scared that her soul almost left her body and her legs went weak.
When Lin Wenqian told her to get lost, she quickly used both hands and scrambled away.
But seeing Lin Luoxi looking at her with a sarcastic smile, she didn't know what she was thinking, and even made some threats while running away.
"Stop right there. I should be the one telling you to wait. Your attempt to harm me won't just end like this."
"If you don't want me to report you to the authorities, you'd better keep a low profile. Otherwise, if I'm in a bad mood one day, it's not impossible for me to ask you to go to the yamen."
Seeing Lin Luodan trying to escape in a disheveled state, Lin Luoxi quickly stopped her and returned Lin Luodan's threat verbatim.
Lin Luodan's dignity was completely humiliated by Lin Luoxi and her brother. This time, for some reason, she stood there, looking at Lin Luoxi with eyes full of hatred.
"If you don't want those eyes anymore, I don't mind helping you..." Lin Luoxi wasn't afraid of her gaze at all, and even stretched out her finger as if to gouge out her eyes, with a wicked smile on her lips.
Seeing Lin Luoxi's sudden devilish smile, Lin Luodan felt a chill run down her spine and regretted getting involved with such a foolish devil. She quickly made her escape.
When Lin Luodan returned home, she was about to tell Lin Daguang about how Lin Luoxi had bullied and threatened her in the mountains when she overheard her father and grandparents talking.
"Dad, what do we do now? Lin Dayou has already obtained an independent account and registered his name under the name of our second uncle who died on the battlefield. We can no longer use filial piety to pressure them."
Lin Daguang was extremely agitated at the thought of no longer being able to go to Lin Dayou's house to freeload.
Lin Daguang used to get so much good stuff from Lin Dayou that his whole family could live a very good life thanks to those benefits.
Now that the family ties are severed, there will be no more benefits in the future, and he will have to find a way to support his family. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
He had never done any hard work since he was a child. All the dirty and heavy work at home was done by Lin Dayou's family. All he knew was how to eat.
Now, all the food and money in the house are gone, and even the pigs, chickens, and ducks raised in the pigsty are gone. It will be as difficult as climbing to heaven if we want to eat meat in the future.
Looking at his spendthrift wife, he was so angry that he picked up the stool next to him and threw it away.
"It's all your fault, you spendthrift wife! You're lazy and greedy, yet you always insisted on being in charge of the household. Now look what's happened, we don't even have a single copper coin. How are we supposed to live?" Lin Daguang vented all his anger on Lin Xiaowu.
Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Lin, who were sitting to the side, watched their son beat his wife without saying a word, letting Little Mrs. Lin be beaten.
Lin Luodan, who had just returned, saw her mother being brutally beaten by her father. She didn't dare to utter a sound and hid to the side.
At the same time, she also harbored resentment towards Lin Xiaowu, who couldn't even manage the money properly and had it all stolen by thieves.
That means she won't have any dowry left.
Her father had previously stolen Lin Luoxi's marriage from the Wang family, and she felt it was because her family was wealthy, making her feel superior to Lin Luoxi.
Now, if the Wang family finds out that they are broke, will they also try to break off the engagement?
Thinking of this, Lin Luodan felt resentment towards Lin Xiaowu, and at the same time, she also resented Lin Luoxi.
In order to prevent the Wang family from breaking off the engagement, she had to find a way to tie herself to the Wang family.
"Mother, Mother, please save me..." Lin Daguang's fists pounded on Lin Xiaowu's body, causing her to cry and beg for help repeatedly.
"Aunt, Aunt, save me..." Finding that Old Madam Lin was watching coldly, she could only call out Old Madam Lin's other identity.
"Alright, eldest son, the money has already been stolen. Even if you beat her to death, you can't salvage the current situation." Upon hearing Lin Xiaowu's words, Old Madam Lin immediately thought of her brother from her maternal family and could only tell Lin Daguang to stop.
Lin Daguang glared resentfully at Lin Xiaowu, who was lying on the ground groaning. At the same time, he also resented Old Madam Lin for forcing him to marry such a slut.
"Eldest son, you resent me for making you marry my niece." Old Mrs. Lin did not miss the fleeting hatred in Lin Daguang's eyes. Feeling a chill in her heart, she directly exposed the darkness in Lin Daguang's heart.
"Mother, I don't have any. Don't you know I'm the most filial son?" At this moment, the couple had no money at all. Even though Lin Daguang was full of resentment, he didn't dare to confront them directly.
"It would be good if they weren't." They're all her own children; she knows what she's thinking.
But Lin Daguang was her only child, and she couldn't afford to break ties with him, as she would need him to support her in her old age. So she let the matter drop.
"Boss, did you guys notice anything different about Lin Dayou's house just now? Like... the extra chickens and ducks..."
Seeing that even Old Lady Lin had spoken up and told her eldest son to stop, Old Man Lin also asked a question.
Old Man Lin thought about it for a long time. Although he wasn't very popular, he hadn't offended anyone, so he shouldn't have let someone come to his house and take away all the valuables.
Besides that ungrateful Lin Dayou, Old Man Lin couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.
Otherwise, why would they only steal from his house and not from the houses of villagers who are better off?
