It's roughly like this...
They were digging stones on the mountain to build a palace, but the mountain collapsed.
At the most critical moment, Tian Sheng pushed Lin Xiao away. However, Tian Sheng himself was crushed to death by a boulder falling from a great height.
Lin Xiao was also seriously injured at the time, but he survived.
"After I came back, it took me a long time to accept it. After all... Tian Sheng is my childhood friend." Lin Xiao said, his expression turning somber.
Lin Qixia understood: "I see."
It seems her judgment was correct; she absolutely had to help the Tian family with this.
“I never imagined that things would turn out this way back then.” He Zhilan looked at Lin Xiao with a complicated expression. “In this way, we owe the Tian family an enormous debt of gratitude.”
Lin Jiudong, standing beside him, also pursed her lips and remained silent with her head down.
Lin Yi then spoke in a childish voice, "Tian Ye'er doesn't have a father anymore, so Yi'er can give her her father."
As soon as she said this, several people at the dinner table looked at her simultaneously, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Lin Jiudong twitched the corners of his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"Yi'er is so generous." Lin Qixia smiled and patted her head, saying, "Yi'er should go play with Ye'er more often in the future."
It's not like Dad can just give in so easily.
However, the child's innocent words made the atmosphere in the Lin family a little more lively.
He Zhilan patted Lin Xiao's thigh with one hand: "Things have already come to this point. The only thing we can do now is to do our best to help Yunxia and her daughter."
"Mm," Lin Xiao responded softly, then said to the others, "Let's eat."
...
By this time, it was getting late at the Zhao family's place, and the villagers who had been clamoring for the return of their grain had all dispersed.
Even so, the Zhao family's courtyard was still a mess.
"What happened?" This was the scene Zhao Shao was faced with when she got home.
His elder brother, Zhao Datian, and Qian Ju sat on the ground, hugging each other and crying.
It was already in a terrible state.
Upon seeing Zhao Shao, Qian Ju cried out and scrambled to her feet, rushing towards him: "My son! My son! You're finally back! Why haven't you come back for so long?"
"You heartless bastard! Did your friend promise you a good job in the county government, so you're ignoring your mother now?"
"Uh." Zhao Shao helped Qian Ju up, looking embarrassed by her question. "Mom, it's because my friend hasn't gotten things done yet! That's why I've been keeping him in the county town for a month."
He couldn't very well say that ever since Lin Qixia dealt with them last time, he had been disfigured by a young girl and was too ashamed to go back to the village, so he had spent a month hiding at his friend's house to recover.
As for getting a job in the county government, it was because among the group of people Lin Qixia injured were some minor officials in the county government, including his friend.
Lin Qixia wiped them all out, causing a sudden shortage of manpower in the county government.
This enraged the county magistrate, who punished those people.
Therefore, his hopes that those people would help him sneak into the county government office also fell through.
"You have no idea what has happened at home while you were away."
Qian Ju had no time to listen to Zhao Shao's answer and didn't notice her son's unusual behavior. She just kept complaining, "Your mother and your older brother were so badly harmed by the Lin family. Our land has been abandoned."
"Your older brother and I finally managed to get some food to store up so we could get through the winter, but Lin Qixia ruined it all!"
"Waaaaah! Son, you have to avenge us!"
"What? It's that Lin Qixia again!" Zhao Shao was instantly agitated upon hearing Qian Ju's words.
I never expected this...
This Lin Qixia is specifically targeting the Zhao family!
Qian Ju was stunned by his reaction: "Spoon? What did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything!" Zhao Shao was concerned about his reputation and was also afraid that his mother and older brother would find out that he had also suffered a loss at Lin Qixia's hands.
He scratched his head, then smiled and said to Qian Ju, "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely avenge you and my elder brother!"
Qian Ju looked at Zhao Shao, stunned: "Son..."
"What's wrong?" Zhao Shao asked, puzzled.
Qian Ju, "Why are you missing a few teeth?"
She said that her son's speech was strange after he came back this time, and he sounded like he was spitting out words.
Upon closer inspection, wow! So many teeth have disappeared from my mouth.
I originally thought my son was doing well.
It seems that my youngest son hasn't had an easy time either.
Zhao Shao looked embarrassed for a moment, then Qian Ju's reminder reminded him of what Lin Qixia had done to him.
Then his expression turned serious: "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely avenge you. I will teach that little bitch Lin Qixia a lesson!"
...
The next day, in the wheat field of the Tian family.
"Oh, what is Miss Lin doing here?"
A group of people were passing by when Li Shufen saw Lin Qixia standing alone in the field and stopped to ask her what was wrong.
Lin Qixia, holding a wheat ear in her hand, didn't even look up when she heard the voice, and replied, "Yes, I'll help Aunt Yunxia check on her land."
As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the ear of wheat in her hand, her brows furrowed.
It was so dry that the wheat ears in this field were extremely shriveled and had almost no moisture.
It's already like this before harvest time, which foreshadows that the farmers will have a meager harvest this year and all their hard work will be in vain.
Liu Ermei, however, scoffed and teased, "Lin family girl! You're never seen helping out in the fields during the busy farming season. What can you possibly know about it?"
“Yes, Lin Qixia is just making a mess of things.” Xue Yuchan agreed, with an expression of anticipation.
