In the evening, Lin Daya waited by the big tree at the entrance of Anjia Village for the girls to bring her earthworms.
"Only this much?" Lin Daya said, somewhat displeased. "I used it to ease tensions, and you only dug up this little bit? How can I possibly give it to you? Only when I improve my relationship with them can you make money! Don't you want to make money?"
"Of course we want to make money!"
“But we really did our best,” Lin Honghong said. “There are so many people digging for earthworms. We only managed to find these after traveling a long way. Xiaolian hasn’t come back yet. Let’s see how many she has.”
As a result, Lin Xiaolian never came, no matter how long they waited.
"It's getting dark, why hasn't Lin Xiaolian arrived yet?" Lin Daya was getting impatient.
Lin Honghong: "She might have run far away."
Lin Daya got angry: "I'm not waiting anymore!"
Then, carrying the basket, they went to Yang Cui's place, while the others waited for Lin Daya at the village entrance.
"Auntie, I brought you earthworms." Lin Daya smiled sweetly when she saw Yang Cui.
"Da Ya, take the things back. We have enough earthworms at home."
The relationship between the two families has deteriorated to this point, and there is no possibility of reconciliation. Lin Daya is also a person with wicked intentions, so how could Yang Cui possibly accept her things!
Lin Daya's face fell immediately when she heard Yang Cui's words: "Auntie, why don't you want it? I just want to help you with something. Besides, my sister said that as long as I bring earthworms every day, they will forgive me. I want to play with my sisters."
Hearing the noise, Er Ya and San Ya immediately ran out. After glancing at the basket, Er Ya said, "Where did you get twenty jin? I think you don't want to make up! You're just being perfunctory."
"That's not it, it's just that earthworms are getting harder and harder to dig up these days, Er Ya and San Ya, I really want to make up with you. Can I bring you a little more tomorrow?"
Er Ya turned her gaze to Yuan Qiu, who then said, "You have to double the amount tomorrow, unless you deliver forty catties tomorrow."
Er Ya and San Ya said in unison, "Yes, double it tomorrow!"
Lin Daya glared at Yuan Qiu: "What's it to you?"
After scolding Yuan Qiu, she said to Er Ya, "We're the real sisters! He's just an adopted child!"
"Lin Daya!" Yang Cui protested, "Qiuqiu is my godson and my nephew. He wasn't adopted!"
“That’s right, we’re a family now.” Sanya couldn’t stand anyone saying anything bad about Qiuqiu.
Lin Daya cried, feeling that Yang Cui was indeed biased! She didn't care about her, her own flesh and blood, and always sided with outsiders.
"Take your things back; we don't need them."
Lin Daya was a little confused. Why was Yang Cui so determined not to accept it? She had thought that if Yang Cui accepted it, she would give her some pocket money so that her trip wouldn't be in vain.
But now she doesn't want it!! She actually doesn't want it!
What can I do with this thing if I take it back with me?
The key question is, what will Lin Honghong and her group think if they fail to achieve their goal? Will they think that the daughter of a dignified scholar doesn't even have this much face?
Therefore, even if Yang Cui doesn't want it, she can't take it back!
Lin Daya carried the basket for only a few steps before turning back and leaving the earthworms at Yang Cui's house.
Upon reaching the village entrance, Lin Honghong and the others gathered around: "Da Ya, did your mother... no, your aunt accept it?"
"Okay, I'll take it. You guys dig up more tomorrow." Lin Daya didn't mention the details at all.
"When can I get the money?" Lin Honghong asked.
Lin Daya already harbored resentment, and Lin Honghong's question only fueled her anger!
"What's the rush? Just deliver it to her a couple more times, and she'll pay you back. She's so rich, why would she owe you a few cents?"
Even so, Lin Daya was still a little uneasy. What if Yang Cui refused to pay?
Lin Honghong and the others felt that things would definitely work out, and they were thinking of getting up early the next day to dig more earthworms and earn more money. Following the daughter of the top scholar was definitely the right decision!
"Da Ya, Hong Hong, how many did you dig today? How much did that bitch pay you?" As soon as Lin Daya and the others returned to Lin'an Village, Chen Lili came over to ask. Their parents all knew that the children had gone to dig for earthworms.
"They didn't give me any money," Lin Daya said.
"Didn't you give it to her?" Chen Lili exclaimed, then looked Lin Daya up and down and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you kept it?"
After Chen Lili finished speaking, Lin Honghong and the others also looked at Lin Daya.
Lin Daya was furious: "I didn't! She just didn't give me the money! Would I, the daughter of a top scholar, embezzle such a small amount of money?"
Chen Lili chuckled awkwardly, "Da Ya, don't be so anxious, Auntie is just joking with you!"
Lin Daya huffed, "You didn't give me a single earthworm. Even if I embezzled, I didn't embezzle your money. Stop talking nonsense and ruining my reputation!"
"That's not right. My Xiaolian went with you, how come she didn't get a single earthworm?"
"Then go ask Xiaolian!" With that, Lin Daya went home in a huff.
"Where's Xiaolian? Didn't she come back with you?" Chen Lili looked around but couldn't find her daughter.
Lin Honghong said, "We didn't see Xiaolian when we came back. We had agreed to meet at the entrance of Anjia Village, but she didn't show up."
Chen Lili had a bad feeling.
Another half hour passed, and it was already quite dark, but Lin Xiaolian still hadn't returned, and Chen Lili couldn't sit still any longer.
Chen Lili's voice was trembling with tears: "Honey, could something have happened to Xiaolian? It's so late, everyone else has come back, but she hasn't."
"Quickly ask the other kids where they went to dig today!"
So the couple quickly went to find Lin Honghong and the others, asking them where they had dug up the earthworms that day.
