Chapter 214 Not bad at all
They've made a deal, but no one has considered whether Lin Cai and the others would be willing.
Will Lin's parents be threatened by them?
Furthermore, would Lin Long and Lin Hu really risk their lives to bring back food for their parents, younger siblings, and other family members?
They hadn't thought about these issues because they all believed that as long as Lin's parents were around, the four members of the Lin family would help them.
After all, the two elders in the Lin family are their parents. No matter how badly they behave, they shouldn't abandon their parents.
At this moment, Lin Cai had no idea that the people of Gujia Village had a grand scheme in mind, a scheme that would directly impact their lives.
Of course, some people went and some didn't, especially those who made some money selling tofu with the Lin family.
Their reluctance to get involved stemmed largely from their unwillingness to offend Lin Cai.
Lin Cai, who knew nothing, sat in her own yard, staring at the dead dog in front of her—oh, no, it should be the dead wolf—with a face full of disgust.
"You've already left, why are you coming back? What do you take this place for? An inn?"
Big Grey let out a howl and lay down on the ground, staring longingly at Lin Cai.
Lin Cai saw it but didn't move, and continued talking.
"You keep running up the mountain and don't come back for days at a time. Since you've made the back mountain your home, why are you still coming back here? Why don't you settle down in the back mountain?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Big Gray, who was already lying on the ground, rolled over and exposed his soft belly.
When its belly was exposed, it let out two loud cries, as if calling to Lin Cai, "Come touch me! Come touch me now!"
But no matter how much it howled, Lin Cai wouldn't touch it. Unable to get its owner's touch, Big Gray started rolling around on the ground.
Basically, it won't get up unless its owner touches it.
But the next second, Big Gray rolled on the ground, immediately got up, and stared warily at the door.
Lin Cai also looked up in the direction of the door, and then saw a group of people walking in from outside.
When Big Gray saw someone coming, it arched its back. Lin patted it and said, "Be good."
The person outside came in and, seeing Lin Cai in the courtyard, went straight over: "Gu Linshi, where is Lin Bao now?"
Lin Cai looked at them and asked, "What do you want with my brother?"
"Of course you have something important to discuss with your brother. Why are you, a woman, asking so many questions?"
The one who spoke was Er Lengzi. He said he would be the first to speak, so he was the one who spoke after they came in.
Hearing what he said, Lin Cai frowned: "This is my home."
She wanted to remind these people that this was her home, and they should be more polite if they wanted to speak in her house.
But Er Lengzi didn't understand at all, and pointed at Lin Cai: "What do you mean 'your family' and 'my family'? Hurry up and call your brother out, I have something to discuss with him."
"If you, little widow, delay our important business, you'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai's face immediately darkened, and she stared blankly at Er Lengzi.
"If you want to find my brother, go outside. I don't have him here. Please leave."
These words not only upset Er Lengzi, but also those who came with him.
They all stared at Lin Cai, probably thinking that Lin Cai was just a young widow.
She used to be quite fierce, but only at home. She's become so docile these past few months, so why is she still so sharp-tongued?
They all thought Gu Dachui was a useless person who couldn't even control his stepmother. He already had a wife, yet he couldn't keep an eye on his stepmother. He was truly pathetic.
But some people knew in their hearts that although the family name was Gu, the person who actually spoke and made decisions here was surnamed Lin.
Lin Cai, this young widow, is the one who truly runs the Gu family.
Someone understood this and tugged at the arrogant man in front of them, but he wouldn't listen and instead glared fiercely at Lin Cai.
"Why is your temper so bad, you little widow?"
"We're here to see your brother, not you. Why should we leave?"
"Besides, this is the Gu family's place, not your Lin family's. What right do you, a woman from another family, have to kick us out?"
After Er Lengzi finished speaking, some people behind him changed their expressions, but Lin Cai's face remained expressionless.
She looked at the people behind her: "Do you think the same way he does?"
As soon as she said this, several people came out and looked at Lin Cai with smiles: "Sister Lin, no, no, we don't have anything to ask. We just have something we'd like to trouble you with."
"Since it's inconvenient, then forget it. We'll come again when Brother Lin Bao has some free time."
"That's right, that's right, we'll come again when we have time."
Several people came out, finished speaking, and left, completely ignoring the calls from those behind them.
Those who remained glared angrily at Lin Cai: "Lin Cai, what did you do to scare them like that?"
"This is the Gu family home, not your Lin family home. This is not a place for you to humiliate or throw a tantrum."
After the man finished speaking, Lin Cai looked over and, who had been about to say something, suddenly found herself speechless.
Er Lengzi was very unhappy to see this, especially since several people had just left, and he felt he had lost face.
They were originally there to take the two Lin siblings to town, but now, before they've even gotten anything done, someone has run away.
Doesn't that mean that he, Er Lengzi, has no real ability and can't even handle such a small matter?
So he looked at Lin Cai and said, "Little widow, go and call Da Chui out. If Lin Laosan isn't here, Da Chui must be, right?"
No sooner had he said that than Gu Dachui came out of the house without even being called.
Actually, he was called out by Xiaochunhua because when Xiaochunhua came out to play in the snow, she saw a large group of people come to her yard.
She was a little worried that her mother would be bullied by those people, and since she couldn't help her, she ran straight into the house and found Gu Dachui.
Gu Dachui, who had just come out, happened to hear someone looking for him, so he walked over and looked at the other person: "You idiot?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Cai raised an eyebrow. It seems these two are old acquaintances!
When Er Lengzi heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw Gu Dachui coming out from inside.
When he saw Gu Dachui's new coat, he was so jealous that he wanted to go up to Gu Dachui and take the coat off and put it on himself.
But he didn't show it on his face at all, and looked at Gu Dachui with a happy expression: "Brother Dachui, you're doing pretty well, you're living a good life."
