Chapter 8: Looted
Looking at Mrs. Zhang's malicious eyes, Chai Ya suddenly panicked, "Miss, I don't want to stay here."
Lin Zhiyi's eyes glared. "Go ask Qin Lang if I can take Chai Ya away. If he dares to stop me, I will file a complaint with the authorities, accusing him of divorcing his wife without reason."
Mrs. Zhang paused, she didn't dare to delay, glared at Lin Zhiyi and ran away.
Perhaps the Qin family was preparing for a wedding and wanted to have less trouble, or perhaps they were feeling smug about having monopolized Lin Zhiyi's dowry, so they actually agreed to let Lin Zhiyi take Chai Ya away.
Until Lin Zhiyi walked out of the Qin family's gate, the Qin family members did not react. The deeds to the farm and the indentures of the servants were all still in Lin Zhiyi's hands.
Qin Lang couldn't believe that Lin Zhiyi had left like that, so he asked Mrs. Zhang, "You mean, she didn't take anything with her when she left?"
"My Lord, the Madam, no, it was Lin, she left empty-handed."
The Qin family was immediately happy.
This means that Lin Zhiyi's dowry already belongs to the Qin family.
Qin Yuelian sat beside Old Madam Qin and acted coquettishly to her, "Mother, tomorrow is the auspicious day for my second brother to marry my second sister-in-law. I heard that Lin Zhiyi's dowry contains many fine clothes and jewelry. Mother, can you let me take a few pieces first?"
For the wedding banquet tomorrow, she must dress up nicely, wear the most expensive jewelry, and the most fashionable clothes in the capital, and completely get rid of the titles of "country girl" and "country bumpkin".
Who knows, which noble young man might take a fancy to her?
Mother Qin glanced at her and said, "Didn't I just give you several pieces a few days ago?"
On the day when Mother Wang took away the key to Lin Zhiyi's private vault, Mother Qin had already opened the vault and checked Lin Zhiyi's dowry.
This overwhelming wealth suddenly fell on her head and almost knocked her unconscious.
She had been married into the Qin family for more than twenty years. She wore coarse linen and ate wild vegetable buns and coarse dry food, the kind that would make her throat hoarse. Even with that, she still couldn't feel full.
The only thing she was proud of was that she insisted on sending Qin Lang to school.
Unexpectedly, her second son was so capable. Not only did he pass the imperial examination, but he also became an official in the capital.
Qin's mother, who had been oppressed since childhood at the bottom of society, suddenly found herself becoming the master when her son became an official. She showed her harsh side to the fullest.
Knowing that it was the original owner who cried and begged to marry her son, she felt from the bottom of her heart that her son was capable, and if Lin Zhiyi had not been born in the Lin family, how could she be worthy of marrying her son.
When the original owner first married into the Qin family, Qin's mother never looked at her with any respect, even though all this was given by the original owner.
After getting the key, she immediately took out a lot of clothes, cloths, jewelry, decorations and other items from it, just so that the Qin family could look more respectable on Qin Lang's wedding day.
As for other things, Qin's mother has no plans to share them with everyone for the time being.
Only when the things were in her hands did she feel at ease.
"Alright, the clothes and jewelry I gave you are already very valuable. I'll give you a few more after tomorrow."
Qin's mother wished that her children would wear all the gold and jade jewelry that she couldn't name, so as not to be looked down upon by the He family.
That He Jiaojiao is not as easy to coax as Lin Zhiyi.
Qin Yuelian was just using this as an excuse to ask for more things, but after hearing what Qin's mother said, she stopped pestering her for more.
She understood that although her mother doted on her, if she overdosed it, it would have the opposite effect.
Mrs. Qin opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw that her sister-in-law didn't get what she wanted, she shut up.
Lin Zhiyi was at the inn at this time, and Fang Mama was reporting to her, "Miss, everything is done."
Fang Mama had already sold those shops and manors two days ago at a price slightly lower than the market price.
Although all these were given to Lin Zhiyi as a dowry, they had always been managed by the Lin family's servants. The Qin family never expected that the Lin family would suddenly fall.
Qin's mother was a village woman who had been busy arranging Qin Lang's wedding these days and had not yet realized that Lin Zhiyi had already sold all those shops and farms.
As for the house and servants that the Qin family currently lives in, many people do not want to get into trouble and therefore do not agree to take them in.
Finally, Fang Mama found the largest brothel in Chang'an City - Chenji Brothel. She heard that the owner behind it was a powerful and influential person whom the Qin family could not afford to offend. In the end, the deal was completed at a price 20% lower than the market price.
Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly, a sneer appearing at the corner of his lips.
Okay, the show is about to begin.
night.
Just after the Xu hour bangzi sounded, the long street suddenly fell into dead silence, and even the stray dogs retreated into the alleys.
Lin Zhiyi sneaked into the Qin family again, and naturally crawled in through the same dog hole.
She first went to the big kitchen and saw that it was full of rice, vegetables, grains, oil, meat, etc., all prepared for tomorrow's wedding banquet. There were also dozens of tables prepared, and hundreds of steamed buns as staple food. Lin Zhiyi put them all into the space.
Opening the kitchen cabinet, Lin Zhiyi saw all kinds of grains, oils and seasonings inside. He put them all into the space along with the cabinet.
Even the five sheep and thirty chickens that had not yet been slaughtered were put into the space.
It was more than enough for the Lin family to eat during their exile.
That day, Lin Zhiyi ordered more than a dozen meals from the restaurant and put them in the space. When she went to check the next day, the meals were still hot.
Three days later, she went to check again and found that the food was still hot, proving that the space had a fresh-keeping function and there was no need to worry about the food going bad.
After looting all the pots and pans in the kitchen, he left the kitchen.
She went to the new house in the main courtyard again.
Seeing that the interior was very nicely decorated, and that many of the furniture and furnishings in the house were the original owner's dowry, Lin Zhiyi's eyes flashed with surprise, and she put them all into the space.
Fortunately, the house she bought before she transmigrated into the book had five main rooms, three auxiliary rooms, and a large yard.
She originally wanted to plant some fruits and vegetables in the yard, but now she can't because the yard is full of things.
She went to Qin's mother's room again, lit the incense, and only went into her bedroom after making sure that no one would wake up.
Looking at the clothes hanging on the rack beside Old Lady Qin's bed and the jewelry placed on the table, I guess they are what she will wear at tomorrow's wedding banquet.
Lin Zhiyi showed no mercy and collected everything into the space, and then looted the house.
In Qin's mother's room, she found many good things, all of which were from her dowry.
She couldn't help but slapped Old Lady Qin twice on the face.
She didn't stop until her face was swollen.
He came to Qin Lang's room again and continued to collect the weapons. Before leaving, he beat Qin Lang up and hit him in the eyes.
When he goes to pick up the bride tomorrow, he will definitely have big dark circles under his eyes.
I still feel unsatisfied. This kind of scumbag should be castrated to prevent him from harming other women again.
She suddenly had another idea.
Lin Zhiyi took out a razor from the space and shaved Qin Lang's hair.
In a short while, Qin Lang had become a big bald head.
Lin Zhiyi looked at his own achievements and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
The ancients attached great importance to their hair, and shaving their hair was like cutting off their heads.
I wonder what his expression would be when he woke up and found that his hair was gone, especially since it was his wedding day.
Lin Zhiyi then went to Qin Lang's eldest brother's courtyard, sister Qin Yuelian's room, Qin Lang's third brother's room, the Qin family's warehouse, and the servants' room, and put all the valuable things into the space one by one.
All that was left in the entire mansion were some worthless tables, chairs, and benches.
It’s not that Lin Zhiyi doesn’t want to take it, but there is really no room for it.
After doing all this, Lin Zhiyi was about to leave. She went back to the dog hole and crawled out.
But as soon as she crawled out of the dog hole, she saw a pair of men's feet and was immediately frightened.
