Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

Chapter 35

Old Witch

“Mom, let go of me! I’ll kill that old witch!” Lin Xiaoyue was so angry that she was trembling.

She had not gone for the Lin family but that old woman came on her own.

Liu Shi was shocked when she heard Lin Xiaoyue call her grandmother “old witch”.

Then, she frowned and said, “There are many people in the Lin family. You’ll be at a disadvantage if you go there. Also, we don’t have any evidence to prove that your grandmother did this.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s face darkened, and a murderous intent was seen in her eyes.

Liu Shi was frightened by this look, but she still held Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.

“Forget it, Yue’er. We didn’t lose anything,” she tried to calm her down.

Lin Xiaoyue noticed her mother’s expression and forced herself to put away her dark thoughts.

After a long while, she forced out a smile at her mother.

However, the smile did not reach her eyes.

“Okay. Let’s clean up the house.” As she spoke, she went to pick up the water ladle on the ground.

Liu Shi knew that her daughter was in a bad mood. Seeing that she had suppressed her impulse and did not go out, she felt relieved anyway.

She quickly put down the basket and went up to clean up with her daughter.

The little boy also went up.

There were not many things in the house. When they were cleaning up the bed, their bodies bumped into each other. Then, they looked at each other and smiled, dispelling the anger and depression in their hearts.

The house was quickly tidied up. Lin Xiaoyue took out the buns and the family of three had them for lunch.

After lunch, Liu Shi was cutting the cloth next to the bed, preparing to make clothes for the two children. Lin Xiaoyue took Lin Xiaozhi to fix the two stools.

After some repairs, the two stools were barely usable.

After finishing the work, Lin Xiaoyue counted the remaining money she had.

Today, she had earned 5 taels and 34 cents from selling the goods. Now, she was left with 3 taels and 62 cents. She had spent a total of 1 tael and 72 cents. The major expenses were mainly for kitchen utensils and clothing materials.

Lin Xiaoyue sorted out the books and then got up to look for Liu Shi.

“Mom, here are 3 taels of silver.” She handed the money to Liu Shi.

Liu Shi hesitated for a moment.

Then she remembered her daughter’s eagerness to buy things today, so she took the money.

“Okay. I will keep it for you. When you need it, you can ask me for it.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. Of course she understood what her mother was thinking.

She did not say much and went back to planning.

She had to save up the money to build the house as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be people coming in every now and then. Although nothing was lost, it was infuriating.

She could secretly kill the old woman, or even everyone in the Lin family, but once the Lin family died, they would quickly find out about her.

Her mother was weak and Xiaozhi was young. She could not take them with her if she wanted to run away.

There were too many men in the Lin family for her to fight them head-on. However, she was not the only one who disliked the Lin family. There were also many people in the village who had been bullied by the Lin family.

As long as she could get the villagers to stand on her side, then it might not be so difficult to deal with them.

However, her mother usually did not leave the house. Other than interacting with Aunt Wang’s family, she hardly moved around with other people in the village. If she wanted to rope in the villagers, she would have to think of a way.

In fact, they should interact with the villagers. People would only take care of each other once they were familiar with each other. Moreover, they would need the help of the villagers to build their house later on.

Lin Xiaoyue suddenly thought of the wild boar in her interspatial ring.

A hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes, and then she drew a circle on the word “wild boar” that she had written in her notebook.

Then, a hint of determination appeared in her eyes.
