The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 90: Liefeng Requesting Help

Li Cuihua, Gu Sanniang, and Liu Liujiao would never admit that they had stolen Lin Yuelan’s hundred taels of silver.

But evidence spoke louder than words!

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Yuelan searched their bodies and found a lot of silver.

Lin Daniu had the one hundred taels of silver on him. Li Cuihua had fifteen taels of silver, Gu Sanniang had more than ten taels of silver, and Liu Liujiao had stolen the least, but it was still no less than seven taels of silver.

The evidence was irrefutable, and these people could not quibble.

Lin Yuelan put the silver taels and banknotes that she had recovered in her pocket and said indignantly, “Elder Li, Auntie Gu, and Auntie Liu, I sold the tiger for some money, but I risked my life to capture that tiger. Look at my small, dilapidated house. I originally planned to use the money to repair or build a new one. Also, look at the things in my house. They are all broken tiles and jars. I don’t have any food at all. In short, I need money.

“However, I barely had the chance to use the money, and you came to my house and took them away. Do you plan to leave me out here to die? I just want to live a normal life. Is that so wrong?”

She looked like she was about to cry.

‘I just want to live a normal life. Is that so wrong?’ That was a simple request. Many couldn’t help but pity Lin Yuelan. Technically, Lin Yuelan didn’t even do anything wrong.

Before she was declared a jinx, she had an okay life. She had a family. Lin Laosan’s family was considered preposterous. Lin Yuelan didn’t jinx them. However, once the Taoist priest said that Lin Yuelan was a jinx, Lin Laosan’s family pushed the blame for all the tragedies they had onto the girl.

Some of the villagers really looked down on Lin Laosan’s family, especially Li Cuihua, the woman who insisted on her granddaughter’s death. Now, they looked down on her and despised her even more.

“Li Cuihua, there’s irrefutable evidence that you stole the girl’s silver, but you’re still scolding her early. Li Cuihua, you really have no shame.”

“Li Cuihua, we saw with our eyes how a banknote for 100 taels of silver came out of Lin Daniu’s clothes, and you said you didn’t steal a single copper coin from the girl?”

“And Gu Sanniang, Liu Liujiao, you’re really shameless. You stole so much silver, but you said you didn’t. Then, you claimed that someone framed you. Who would be able to place the silver on you without you knowing?”

Lin Daniu’s eyes slowly opened as the scolding got louder. He was called back to his senses with the talks of silver and money.

Therefore, the moment he opened his eyes, he shouted loudly, “Silver, banknotes, my money!” Then, he shielded his chest with his arms. After that, he turned pale with fright and said, “Where’s my banknote? Where is it?”

Well… Speak of the evidence…

Gu Sanniang and Liu Liujiao’s faces were ashen, but they still shook their heads helplessly and explained, “No, I didn’t steal the money. I don’t know why the money would come to me.”

Unfortunately, no one believed them.

When Li Cuihua saw Lin Daniu’s reactions, she was instantly enraged. “Ol One, how dare you steal that banknote for one hundred tales and hide it from me? Do you even have me in your eyes?”

Lin Daniu’s face was filled with confusion! Banknotes? Did he have banknotes on him?

However, before he could think further, he heard Lin Yuelan’s voice.

Lin Yuelan looked at Lin Qi and said sternly, “Great-grandfather Qi, since you have no objection to this punishment, please announce it for all!” She was pushing him

Lin Qi met Lin Yuelan’s big and sharp eyes. His face turned green, then red. He was angry but helpless.

Lin Qi looked at the crowd and said sternly, “Li Cuihua, Lin Daniu, Gu Sanniang, and Liu Liujiao have come to Lin Yuelan’s house to steal. There is irrefutable evidence. I hereby announce that, in addition to compensating for all the losses, these four people must stay on the village mountain for a night as a warning!

“This is a warning for the other villagers too. Do not follow their example, or the punishment will be the same!”

Lin Daniu, who had just woken up, was so shocked that he was speechless!

If he had to stay on the mountain for a night, what was different from throwing him to the beasts?

Lin Daniu started to make a big fuss!

However, with Lin Qi’s statement, Lin Yiwei’s agreement, and Lin Yuelan’s threat, no matter how much Lin Daniu and the other three argued, they were locked up in the Lin family’s ancestral hall by the villagers. At night, they would be sent to the mountain by Little White and Lin Yuelan.

With the example set, the villagers no longer dared to think about stealing Lin Yuelan’s money.

Even if she had more money in the future, they would not dare to have such thoughts… unless they favored money over their lives!

The mountain, named Mount Da Ao, was a place that the villagers were scared of. They didn’t even dare to set foot there during the day, much less spend the night there. They were afraid of being eaten by the ferocious beasts.

Even though Lin Yuelan promised their safety now, the various noises in the mountain would still scare them out of their wits. Not to mention, according to the legends, there were also fierce ghosts in that mountain.

Lin Yuelan didn’t care if there were ghosts on the mountain. She only cared that she had achieved her goal.

She had exposed more of her abilities but she could just pull up the King of Hell as an excuse.

It was Little Green who placed the silver and banknote on the four when they fainted. It was how Lin Yuelan managed to produce the evidence.

Li Cuihua, Lin Daniu, Gu Sanniang, and Liu Liujiao spent a night at Mt. Da Ao. Although they returned safely, they looked like they had lost half their lives.

Because of the shock, all four of them fell sick.

The cost of seeing a doctor, getting medicine, and so on had swept away their years of savings. They definitely lost more than they aimed to get!

…

Lin Yuelan carried a small basket on her back and went to Mount Da Ao to pick herbs again.

On the way, whenever the villagers saw Lin Yuelan, they would hurriedly hide in fear.

Lin Yuelan smacked her tongue. Did they really take her for a demon?

It had been more than two months since that incident.

For the past two months, Lin Yuelan’s life had finally returned to normal. Her body had been strengthened by nutrition and effective training. She had grown a little taller, and her skin was no longer sallow. Instead, she now had a healthy complexion.

In the past, when the villagers saw Lin Yuelan, they would avoid her with disgust and disdain.

But now, when they saw Lin Yuelan, they were filled with fear and terror, so they hid even further away.

However, this was just what Lin Yuelan wanted.

Lin Yuelan was bending down to look for herbs when she heard the sound of hooves.

Lin Yuelan’s expression immediately became serious and sharp.

“Who is it? Come out!” Lin Yuelan shouted sharply and cautiously.

However, when she saw the horse slowly walking out of the forest, Lin Yuelan’s pupils shrank, and she shouted in surprise, “Liefeng!”

The reddish-brown fur and handsome figure could belong to no one else but Liefeng!

She ran to Liefeng and touched its fur. She asked curiously, “Liefeng, why are you here? where’s your master?”

When Liefeng saw Lin Yuelan, it first licked her palm with its tongue, and then its mouth made a few whimpers. Its big round eyes seemed to be pleading.

Lin Yuelan didn’t understand what Liefeng was trying to say, but she could see the eagerness and pleading in its eyes. She guessed that something must have happened.

Lin Yuelan immediately asked, “Little Green!”

Lin Yuelan fell silent.

She was considering if she should save the masked general.

Once she made a move, it was very likely that she would be sucked into the whirlpool of fighting, which was the complete opposite of the peaceful life she wanted!
