Chapter 78: Red-handed
Lin Yuelan sat on Little White’s back and stood at the door of her house.
She was expressionless, and her sharp eyes were staring at the door.
When Li Cuihua, Lin Daniu, Liu Liujiao, and Gu Sanniang failed to find the money and walked out of the door with Lin Yuelan’s newly purchased items, they saw Lin Yuelan sitting majestically on the back of a big tiger.
The four of them were so frightened that the things in their hands fell to the ground with a clang. The fear in their eyes was exposed.
They were not afraid of Lin Yuelan but Little White that she was sitting on.!!
The day before yesterday, they had also seen a big tiger at Lin Yuelan’s place, but that tiger was already dead. Of course, they weren’t afraid. They were shocked at first, but after knowing the tiger was dead, they slowly calmed down.
However, now a big, tall, and fierce tiger stood before them. Moreover, this big tiger looked even bigger than the dead tiger they had seen before.
The four of them were so scared that their faces were pale, and their hands and feet were weak. They held onto each other. While they were fighting earlier, now they became each other’s support.
“Is that a real tiger?” Gu Sanniang opened her eyes wide in fear and asked with a trembling and frightened voice
“Is… is it?” Liu Liujiao usually had a big mouth. She spoke as if she was not afraid of anything. However, at this moment, she looked at the Big White Tiger in fear and asked nervously.
As for Lin Daniu and Li Cuihua, they were so scared that they did not even have the strength to speak. Especially Lin Daniu, who was so scared that he sat on the ground. There was even some suspicious liquid under his body.
What was that liquid?
The answer was clear.
Lin Yuelan immediately rolled her eyes and looked at Lin Daniu with disdain.
The man was even weaker than the three women. He was so scared that he peed himself.
Lin Yuelan jumped down from Little White’s back and patted it. As if understanding Lin Yuelan, Little White raised his head and roared at the sky.
In an instant, the entire Lin family village shook as if the sky was shaking.
The four people were even more scared and sprawled on the ground.
Lin Yuelan slowly walked forward. Looking at the pale faces of the four people, a cold smile appeared on her tender face. Then, the cold smile turned into a light smile.
She looked at the four of them with a smile and asked with a puzzled look, “Elder Li, Auntie Liu, Auntie Gu, uncle Lin, what are the four of you doing lying in front of my house?”
Then, she looked at the things scattered around them, such as the new quilt that had been torn apart, the porcelain bowl, the earthen jar, and so on.
Lin Yuelan immediately stopped smiling, and her expression became stern. She pointed at these things with her little finger and asked with a serious expression, “What’s going on? Why are the things I bought yesterday in your hands?”
Then, with a stern expression, she asked again, “You’re at my house, and these things are scattered around you. Did you come to steal from me when I was not home?”
The four of them were scared out of their wits by the appearance of the Big Tiger. The imposing manner of Lin Yuelan startled them too.
They did try to steal from Lin Yuelan, but they didn’t expect the jinx to come back so soon. Plus, she would come back with a tiger!
The four couldn’t answer Lin Yuelan’s interrogation.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to defend themselves, but that they hadn’t regained their senses and didn’t have the strength to defend themselves.
Little White’s roar had attracted the whole village. Lin Yuelan was doing this on purpose.
Why?
It was very simple. It was to make an example out of the thieves!
How to make an example if the crowd was not there?
She didn’t even want to find trouble with Lin Laosan’s family so soon, but Li Cuihua and Lin Daniu wouldn’t leave her be. If she did not teach them a deep lesson, they would still think that they could still bully, scold, beat and rob Lin Yuelan as before.
As for Liu Liujiao…
If she didn’t spread the jinx rumor three years ago, Lin Laosan’s family wouldn’t think about killing Lin Yuelan. Liu Liujiao was the main reason all the tragedies befell Lin Yuelan.
Originally, Lin Yuelan planned to deal with Liu Liujiao later, but the woman volunteered to be taught a lesson.
As for Gu Sanniang, because of her daughter Ying Zi, Lin Yuelan didn’t have a good impression of her at all. A child reflected a lot on their parents.
At such a young age, Lin Ying Zi was already a horrible person. She was smart but had a jealous mind. Her mother, Gu Sanniang, couldn’t be much better. This was a woman who cheated on her dead husband with other married men in the village. She was not a good person.
Lin Yuelan saw that the four of them were weak and pale, but she had no sympathy in her heart.
Lin Yuelan shouted again, “Are you really here to steal from me?”
Then, without waiting for their response, she walked straight into her own house. She didn’t even need to open the door because the thieves didn’t even close the door. They only remembered to grab their things. It was like the things in Lin Yuelan’s house belonged to them.
As soon as Lin Yuelan walked into her own small hut, she saw the mess on the ground, and there was faint anger on her face.
Although she left some things at home as bait, when she saw the mess in the house, Lin Yuelan couldn’t hide her anger.
The ground was filled with the remains of the broken bowls and jars, as well as torn old clothes and quilts.
The walls were poked with holes of all sizes. She bought a new set of teacups. They were not of perfect quality, but they were valuable enough. There were six cups in one set, but four were missing, and two were shattered on the ground.
The new quilt she bought was gone. The bedsheets were shredded. All the new bowls, new chopsticks, and new cans were either gone or shattered.
Lin Yuelan checked the kitchen.
The oil and salt had been stolen. The seasonings dirtied the ground. The new pot was gone. The stove had been pried open, and the floor was covered in mud and dust.
Lin Yuelan walked to the door and shouted at the culprits angrily, “You all really tried your best to ensure that I wouldn’t be able to survive!”
