"Don't worry, I'm very strong!"
After settling her younger siblings in, Lin Yan took a thick wooden stick from the corner of the wall and secretly placed it behind her back.
When she opened the door, a mean and sarcastic old face came into her view.
"That's strange, what money do I owe Grandma?"
"Give me back my twenty taels of silver! If it weren't for your interference, that little hussy would have been sold long ago. It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing..."
Liu still thought Lin Yan was the original owner of the body who wasn't very bright, and kept cursing her.
Not only that, she was cursing and making a move to push her away, trying to go inside and ransack the house.
Just as her old hands were about to touch her, Lin Yan suddenly pulled out a wooden stick from behind her back.
They struck Liu hard!
The stick technique seemed random and haphazard, but it was actually intentional on her part.
They specifically chose the most painful areas that were least likely to leave scars.
While hitting her, he loudly muttered:
"Let's beat the bad guys! Let's beat the bad guys!"
Now she'll see the benefits of transmigrating into the body of an idiot.
It's perfectly normal for an idiot to hit or curse at others.
Isn't that right?
She's having a great time playing.
The Liu family, on the other hand, was beaten and suffered a terrible defeat.
Just now, Liu openly sold her granddaughter, which had already attracted villagers to secretly gather at the door to watch.
However, because of her fiery temper, no one dared to talk to each other.
The crowd has not completely dispersed yet.
Seeing that the eldest sister of the Lin family was chasing after her own grandmother with a thick wooden stick, everyone started whispering among themselves.
"What's wrong with this silly girl today? She's usually a bit silly, but not this silly. Why did she suddenly hit her own breast today?"
"Good riddance! Even if that silly girl is stupid, she still knows who treats her well. Her own sister was almost sold by her grandmother. She was already crazy, and now it looks like she's going to go even crazier! Liu is in for a lot of trouble!"
"Hey, didn't you hear what the slave trader said? Liu is going to sell Lin Xiaomei to a brothel. Do girls sold there even have a chance to survive? Isn't she afraid of getting her comeuppance for her heartlessness?"
Liu was in pain all over from being beaten by Lin Yan's stick.
She ran around frantically, clutching her head, screaming and wailing:
"Help! A moron is hitting people! Help!"
"stop!"
A voice suddenly came from the crowd to stop them!
Lin Yan looked toward the sound and saw Lin Zhenglu, the village head of Xiaolin Village.
In her memory, this place took good care of her family.
She quietly put away the wooden stick.
The rain of sticks that had been striking her body finally disappeared. Liu stumbled and ran behind the village head, but her eyes were filled with venom as she glared fiercely at Lin Yan!
"Village head, you've finally arrived! This little beast is going to beat this old woman to death! She's possessed! Quickly, drown her in the pond!"
"Shut up! You should be drowned! You're the first person in our village to sell a child to a brothel! If I find out again, I'll expel you from the village!"
Although times are tough now.
But their village is located near mountains and water, which makes it much better than other villages.
Poor families would at most sell their children to wealthy families in town to work as servants or maids.
Moreover, they are all live contracts.
But this Liu actually sold a girl into that kind of filthy place!
If other villagers all followed her example and sold their daughters...
Does their village even care about its reputation?
After scolding Liu, Lin Zhenglu turned to Lin Yan and said earnestly:
"Silly girl, she's your grandma. You can't lay a hand on her again. Let's just let it go this time. Everyone, go home and don't gather here."
With the village head's words, the villagers scattered and went home.
Out of respect for him, Lin Yan could only nod and give up for the time being.
However, there's plenty of time in the future.
There will be plenty of opportunities to teach her a lesson later...
As soon as she opened the door, a small figure ran up to her, its big eyes sparkling as it looked at her.
"Big sister, you were amazing just now!"
Lin Yan reached out and ruffled his hair haphazardly.
Tsk!
It feels really rough.
It seems we need to find a way to supplement their nutrition.
"Don't open the door for Grandma if she comes over again, understand? Are you hungry? I'll go cook."
"I helped my older sister start the fire."
Lin Yan went to check the kitchen and found that there was only a little brown rice and a small half bag of flour left.
There was a piece of cured meat hidden in the basket on the beam.
But that piece of meat was still several pounds of meat that had been dried during the Chinese New Year.
Normally, he would only eat a few pieces when his father came home.
Ugh, we're so poor!
Nowadays, with materials in short supply, even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice.
She could only make the simplest dumpling soup.
The three of them ate the dish with pickled vegetables and quite enjoyed it.
"Big sister, the dumpling soup is so delicious today!"
Lin Yu has big eyes and long eyelashes.
Lin Yan's heart was completely melted by her unwavering gaze.
"Eat more if you like it, there's more in the pot."
Normally, the original owner's mother used more wild vegetables than flour and was reluctant to add oil.
Today she poured out a full half bowl of flour and added lard.
How could it not taste good?
The two little ones ate to their hearts' content.
Suddenly, Lin Muyan thought of something and spoke with some difficulty:
"Big sister, that handsome young man next door is staring at our house in the yard again. Does he want to eat too?"
"Handsome brother? I'll go check him out."
For some reason, whenever he mentioned the neighbor next door, vague fragments would always flash through Lin Yan's mind.
But the picture is always blurry...
The wall between their house and the house next door was very low.
So as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw an extremely handsome young man lying on a chair in the neighboring courtyard.
