Chapter 206 Don't Say It So Early
Upon hearing what Honglin said, Huaniang wanted to kill this fool on the spot.
This is the bedroom, and there is indeed a bed there, but is this room hers?
Is that bed hers?
Is this a place where she can sleep whenever she wants?
Hua Niang wouldn't let Hong Lin sleep in the bed, and when Lin Cai turned around, she saw the two of them pulling and tugging at each other.
She looked at them questioningly: "What are you doing?"
"This woman won't let me sleep."
Honglin pointed directly at Hua Niang and complained to Lin Cai. After hearing what she said, Lin Cai turned to look at Hua Niang.
“We’re all so dirty, we need to wash up at least once. Aren’t you afraid of getting lice if we sleep like this?”
The Gu family also has guest rooms, which Lin Cai had already asked Hua Ni and Gu Dachui to tidy up. Once they were ready, the four of them could move in.
But next, she needs to figure out what's really going on between them.
Hua Niang knew that what had happened outside had been seen by this young lady, and she didn't intend to hide it, so she told her frankly.
"...That's how it is. None of the girls in our compound really like that guy. The main reason is that he's such a jerk that everyone wants to avoid him when they see him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three girls nodded in agreement. Hongxiu even burst into tears, staring longingly at Lin Cai.
"Miss Lin, you don't know, that person is really not human. When he's not satisfied, he'll curse at people, and the words he says are as awful as they can be. He's incredibly rude..."
After listening to what they said, Lin Cai recalled the scarred man she had first met. He did look exactly like they described back then.
However, she had witnessed them resorting to violence a few times, but those were always things the other party asked for.
After understanding, Lin Cai led them to the guest room. Huani had already tidied up the room, putting in and adding everything that needed to be put in, so they could just move in.
After settling everyone in, Lin Cai prepared to go find Gu Zhan to ask him where the rice came from.
Before they even left the yard, Scarface, who was supposed to be sleeping, appeared in the yard.
"Were those four women inside from Longxing County?"
Lin Cai looked at him without saying anything, and this silence was tantamount to acquiescence in Scarface's eyes.
"Hey Lin, we don't have a gold mine, we can't afford to go through all that trouble. What if we get caught if you bring those four back?"
Lin Cai hadn't said anything yet, and Scarface, seeing that she still wouldn't speak, pulled her to Gu Zhan's door. However, this so-called pulling was just lightly tugging at Lin Cai's clothes with a stick.
Lin Cai wanted to know what he wanted to say, so she obediently followed him.
The two arrived outside the gate of Gu Zhan's house. Scarface threw away the stick and picked up a thicker one. He nudged Lin Cai, signaling her to open the gate and come inside.
As soon as she opened the door and went inside, the inner door also opened, and Lin Bao and Gu Zhan came out.
Lin Cai raised an eyebrow when she saw them come out one after the other. Lin Bao was naturally happy to see his sister.
But when he saw that there was a stick poking his sister from behind, he instantly became unhappy.
"Hey Mao, do you want to die? If you do, you should have told me sooner, and I'd promise to leave you a whole corpse..."
"Pah! Can't you say something auspicious this morning? What's with all this talk about dying? You might be dead, but I'm still alive!"
"If you don't want to die, then tell me, what are you doing right now?"
With that hand, that stick, that gesture, if his older brothers had seen it, they would have beaten him to death.
After hearing what Lin Bao said, Scarface looked at his hands, then at the stick in his hand, and then at Lin Cai.
"She's your sister, a girl. I need to take her somewhere. If I don't bring her here like this, how should I do it?"
"Should we just use our hands to pull it apart?"
He was certain that if he had simply pulled her hand away, the entire Gu family village would know within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn that Lin Cai had been holding hands with a man.
In less than a day, the whole Gu family village will be abuzz with the news that Lin Cai is unfaithful and is having affairs even as a young widow.
He himself didn't care, but once the rumors started, he was sure that just one person in this courtyard could wipe him out.
When Lin Bao heard Scarface say to just use his hands to pull her away, Lin Bao quickly went over and pulled his sister behind him, saying, "I think you really want to die."
"Using a stick is one thing, but now you want to use your hands directly? If you dare to use your hands directly, I'll fight you to the death."
Scarface rolled his eyes when he heard this, and Lin Bao saw that the two of them started fighting. Lin Cai heard their noise and went to sit down at the table on the left side of the yard.
She sat down and looked around: "Where's Ershi? Why isn't he here?"
"One person couldn't stay idle and went up the mountain to try his luck. Xiaoqing will be fine if she goes with him."
Lin Cai turned to look at him: "Then why didn't you go with them?"
Only after asking did he realize what a stupid question he had asked. This person had just come out of the house with Lin Bao, and it was obvious that they had just finished plotting.
I wonder what these two are plotting, and why they're keeping the door closed?
What happened at home?
"Why do you ask that? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Gu Zhan looked at Lin Cai with a leisurely gaze and poured her a cup of tea: "If there was nothing wrong, you wouldn't have come to find me, much less come with him."
The "he" they were referring to was Scarface, of course. Lin Cai turned to look at him and asked, "Then guess why we came looking for you?"
Is there a reward for guessing correctly?
"What reward do you want?"
Lin Cai was a little surprised. This person, who never knew what he wanted, was now asking her for a reward. It didn't seem like the person who would say that at all.
"I want to save the reward for now, and tell you when I want it, okay?"
“Hmm~” Lin Cai considered for a moment and nodded: “...It’s not impossible, but I won’t do anything that crosses my bottom line.”
"Don't worry, my request will be very simple for you and will definitely not make things difficult for you."
"Don't speak so soon. You don't even know what you want yet, so how can you know that your request is simple? What if the request you make is something I simply can't fulfill!"
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then her eyes lit up: "Clear and slightly bitter, with a slightly sweet aftertaste."
