Chapter 239 They Don't Believe
Then, under his younger sister's watchful eye, he recounted what he had done, half-truthfully and half-falsely.
After saying that, he felt it wasn't enough and emphasized, "I didn't know back then. If I had known that they were all liars, I probably would have run away long ago."
The story he made up was that he saved a girl, and that girl took him home. He was only supposed to sit for a while, drink some water, and then leave.
Unexpectedly, the girl's family were not good people. Before he even had a drink of water, he overheard the girl and her family talking.
After realizing they weren't good people, he caused a huge scene at their house, making a huge commotion, before leaving.
"Second brother, do you know what that girl wants you to do when she takes you back?"
Lin Hu couldn't think of a good answer, but Lin Bao had already come up with a suitable reason for him.
"Little sister, is there even a need to ask about something like this? I think it's possible that the girl has taken a liking to Second Brother and wants to trick him into becoming their live-in son-in-law."
The reason was fine, but Lin Hu didn't like it at all; he wanted to hit someone.
Can't you think about something else with such a good brain?
Why even think about this stupid thing?
After Lin Bao finished speaking, his expression became increasingly strange, and his gaze lingered between the eldest and second eldest brothers.
Of the four siblings in their family, the eldest is the most handsome and best-looking, except for the youngest sister. But why is it that the second brother is often the target of attention, while the eldest brother is not?
Lin Bao couldn't figure out the problem, and his gaze kept shifting between his two older brothers. Lin Long noticed this first, but he didn't ask anything.
After Lin Hu noticed this, he glared at Lin Bao and said, "Third Brother Lin, do you not want your eyes anymore?"
"If you really don't want it anymore, then I can dig it up for you."
These words terrified Lin Bao, who screamed, "Lin Lao Er, you're a pervert! You're not human! You even go after your own brother's eyes!"
Although Lin Bao hadn't witnessed the poaching of talent firsthand, he had heard about it!
And there's a reason why that monkey is so afraid of Lin Lao Er!
"Lin Laosan, don't talk nonsense here. I'm just joking with you. You better take it seriously. If you scare the little sister, you'll see if I don't beat you up."
They can't stop talking about fighting. Is this how brothers get along?
Lin Cai didn't stay any longer. She told the three brothers to go back and prepare some things so they could have New Year's Eve dinner together.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao immediately let go of her hand and asked if she wanted him to see her off. Lin Cai said no, and only then did he let her leave.
After going outside, Lin Cai hadn't gone far when she felt something was off. She turned back and took two steps, and saw a shadowy figure lurking next to a haystack.
The figure was hiding behind a haystack, keeping a close eye on the Lin family. Lin Cai frowned slightly when she saw it.
Judging from their figures, they should be from Gujia Village. But if they are from Gujia Village, why are they looking at the Lin family?
Lin Cai wanted to know what they were up to, so she went straight over. It was too much trouble to investigate slowly during the New Year, since the people were there anyway, so she might as well just go and ask them directly.
But when that person heard the sound, turned around and saw Lin Cai, he seemed to be greatly frightened.
Upon seeing that it was Lin Cai, the other person turned and ran away. Lin Cai didn't even have time to see who the person was or what they looked like.
Lin Cai was speechless. Was she that scary-looking?
Why are you running so fast?
She's not a tiger on the mountain; she won't eat people!
When the other person ran out, they were in a panic and didn't know where to go. They even fell down on the road and landed in the snow.
However, the snow on the ground wasn't very thick, so when it hit the ground, it definitely landed on the ground.
Lin Cai didn't take the little incident on her way home to heart at all. She and another person ran home trembling, and collapsed to the ground as soon as they got to their door.
His family immediately surrounded him: "Second brother, second brother, how are you?"
"Didn't you go out for a while? How did you get yourself into this state? Did the Lin family hit you?"
"Damn it, I knew the Lin family was no good. They're all hooligans and bandits. All they know how to do is beat people. We should have driven them out of Gujia Village a long time ago."
The speaker was the eldest brother of the second son. Their family also had the surname Gu. The eldest brother's name outside was Gu Dazhu, and the second son's name was Gu Erzhu.
Gu Dazhu had just finished speaking when someone next to him spoke up.
"Gu Dazhu, you make it sound so easy. Why don't you go and chase them away? They can't hear you here anyway, what's the point!"
"You idiot, this is my house, not yours. Do you think it's appropriate for me to come to my house?"
"What's inappropriate about it? We're all from the same village. Does it make any difference whether you go, I go, or someone else goes?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, the older person present quickly stopped them: "Alright, alright, stop talking."
"First, ask Erzhu if he saw anything at the Lin family's house?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that this was the important thing, and they immediately began to question Erzhu, who was still lying on the ground.
"Erzhuzi, what did you see when you went there? Did the Lin brothers......"
Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood. Erzhuzi, who was lying on the ground, shook his head after hearing this.
He had just shaken his head when Er Lengzi jumped up: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Given the personalities and abilities of the two brothers, how could they possibly not move in?"
"Do they really want to see their parents and sister all starve to death?"
They were all starving to death, and he just couldn't believe that the Gu family, with so many people, still had food left.
Others didn't believe it either, but what could they do? They couldn't exactly turn over other people's rice bins to check.
Therefore, they were unwilling to believe the fact that the eldest and second sons of the Lin family had brought nothing back.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Gu Erzhu stopped talking. He needed to warm up; he was freezing to death, but no one here cared about him.
Even his parents were consulting with others about how to find food, because, indeed, they were also out of food now.
The autumn harvest was already bad; after half of the grain they grew was handed over, there wasn't even enough left for them to eat.
And this is the result of eating only one meal a day. If it were two meals a day, the family would probably have been completely broke by now!
A group of people were in someone else's yard, plotting how to get their hands on the grain that the eldest and second eldest sons of the Lin family had brought back.
