"Are you a rat? Why are you making such a racket!" Qian Dani grabbed Lai Pichun by the collar and slammed him against the fence, making a cracking sound as the bamboo strips snapped.
Suddenly, a dog barked from afar, and the three of them froze into stone.
"Are you asking for it?!" Wu Tiezhu cursed in a low voice, "If you wake that shrew, I'll snap your neck first!"
"Uncle, how about we wait until they're sound asleep..."
"Enough with the nonsense. It's this late, and they're still not asleep? Are they planning to go out and work at night? Let's get started!"
With Wu Tiezhu's low shout, three dark figures suddenly squeezed through the gap in the fence.
The three quickened their pace and ran to the kitchen door.
The system also issued an alert: "Host, they have broken in. Do you want to activate attack mode?"
Lin Cuiying frowned. "Wait a little longer."
She wanted to see what these three people were up to.
Three shadowy figures crept towards the kitchen and slowly lifted the two wooden buckets they were carrying.
The wooden barrel contained kerosene; if you poured it on the house and lit it, the house would burn instantly.
Even if the Lin family manages to escape, they will definitely be injured.
And they could then take the opportunity to rob the Lin family of their money.
Thinking of this, all three men grinned menacingly.
"Let's do it!"
At Wu Tiezhu's command, the three men began to pour kerosene around them.
The kerosene smelled pungent, and once it was poured out, it emitted an unpleasant odor.
Lin Cuiying smelled the odor in the room and her heart tightened.
Unexpectedly, these three people actually wanted to burn them alive!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Cuiying's eyes; she would absolutely not let these people's conspiracy succeed!
She quietly got out of bed, put on her clothes, and then gently pushed open the door.
At this moment, Lai Pichun and his two companions were focused on splashing kerosene everywhere and did not notice that Lin Cuiying had already come out.
Lin Cuiying stared at them coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
She quietly walked up behind the three of them, preparing to catch them off guard.
However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.
Lai Pichun slipped and fell to the ground.
The wooden bucket in his hand flew out, spilling its oil all over the ground.
"damn it!"
Lai Pichun couldn't help but curse, which startled Wu Tiezhu and Qian Daniu.
The two of them turned around and saw Lin Cuiying standing behind them.
Under the moonlight, their eyes were wide open. "Mother, she-devil..."
"You motherfucker!" Lin Cuiying grabbed a carrying pole from the corner of the wall and swung it around, smashing it down.
The sound of something tearing through the air, along with bits of straw, came crashing down on Wu Tiezhu. The man hurriedly raised a wooden bucket to deflect the oil, which spilled all over his trousers.
Lin Tiandong, who was inside the house, also heard the noise and ran out wearing his clothes.
"Sis, has a thief broken into the house?"
"Not a thief, but an acquaintance."
When Lai Pichun and his two companions realized their scheme had been exposed, they tried to run away, but Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong were not about to give them the chance.
Especially since Lin Tiandong had been told by his father during the day not to argue with women, and now there were three grown men standing in front of him, his father was sure he wouldn't scold him anymore.
Lin Tiandong swung his hoe and smashed it towards Wu Tiezhu.
Wu Tiezhu screamed in fright and scrambled to the side.
Lin Cuiying rushed straight at Qian Daniu, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Tell me, why did you set fire to our house?" Lin Cuiying's voice was cold and fierce, making Qian Daniu tremble with fear.
"I, I..." Qian Daniu stammered, unable to speak. He was completely terrified by Lin Cuiying's imposing manner.
Seeing this, Lin Cuiying punched Qian Daniu in the stomach.
Qian Daniu felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his whole body arched up like a shrimp.
"Speak!" Lin Cuiying roared again.
"Yes, it was Mr. and Mrs. Wu who said you bought a lot of things in town today, and they sent us..."
Before Qian Daniu could finish speaking, Wu Tiezhu, who was being chased by Lin Tiandong, shouted, "Bullshit! It was clearly your wife who said that she was bullied by the Lin family today, and told us to come and take revenge!"
Hearing this, Lin Cuiying became even angrier.
These people actually wanted to burn them alive because of what happened during the day!
She threw Qian Daniu to the ground forcefully, then stomped on his chest.
"A person like you is only a menace if you're kept around!" Lin Cuiying's tone was cold and fierce, filling Qian Daniu with unprecedented fear.
Lai Pichun and Wu Tiezhu were so frightened by what they saw that they trembled all over.
They wanted to escape, but their escape route was blocked.
The person who blocked them was Lin Changgeng.
Lin Changgeng was holding a wood-chopping knife and staring at them fiercely.
"Sis, what are you going to do with these bastards?" Lin Tiandong had already twisted Wu Tiezhu's arms behind his back, pinning him to the ground so he couldn't move.
Lin Cuiying sneered, "Send them to the authorities first thing tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Lai Pi Chun and his two companions were so frightened they almost wet themselves.
If they get caught by the authorities, they'll be in serious trouble, if not dead!
Lai Pichun's eyes darted around, and he suddenly noticed the kerosene they had just spilled all over the ground. An idea immediately came to him.
"So be it!"
Lai Pichun quietly took out a tinderbox from his pocket, then blew on it sharply, and the tinderbox immediately caught fire.
He threw the tinderbox at Lin Cuiying with all his might, shouting, "Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me!"
Lin Cuiying reacted quickly; she pushed Lin Tiandong aside and then dodged the tinderbox.
However, the tinderbox fell onto the kerosene on the ground.
"boom!"
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire courtyard.
"Oh no, there's a fire!" Lin Tiandong shouted, and quickly released Wu Tiezhu to put out the fire.
Lin Cuiying's expression also changed. She hadn't expected Lai Pichun to be so crazy as to actually dare to set fire.
The fire started in the kitchen, which was right next to where Lin Cuiying slept.
The two sisters, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, were still inside at this time.
When the firelight licked the eaves, Lin Cuiying's pupils trembled.
Just as she was about to rush into the room, Lin Changgeng grabbed her.
Just then, Chen and her two sisters ran out of Lin Changgeng's room.
It turned out that after Lin Changgeng was awakened by the commotion outside, he was worried about the two sisters, so he asked Chen to take them to his room.
Lin Cuiying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen and the two sisters were all safe and sound.
"Sister, hurry and call the villagers to help put out the fire. The fire is too big, and we're afraid we can't control it," Lin Tiandong shouted to Lin Cuiying as he poured water buckets onto the fire.
