Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 40 If it’s not Meng Yichen, then who is it?

Before the end of the world, Lin Xin had read countless articles and watched countless movies and TV series about palace fighting and family intrigue. How could she not see through her little tricks?

Moreover, since the end of the world, she had developed the habit of getting irritable when hungry. Seeing that Lin Duo was determined to stay here and not leave, she simply stopped talking and slapped her in the face.

"Lin Xin, you hit me again!" Lin Duo covered her face and glared at her angrily.

"What's wrong with hitting you? Don't you want to play the victim? I'm just trying to help you out of kindness. Look at yourself. Don't you look much worse now than before?" As she spoke, Lin Xin nodded seriously.

"It's a disgrace for you to come to my house and beg for food with the face you have now. I'll show you a way out. There are many people in this town who are richer than Zheng the Butcher and who also like to look at people's faces. You can go and beg for food from them! Don't come and disgust me. I have severed all ties with your family. No, I have nothing to do with your family anymore." Lin Xin said to her in a very serious manner.

Two villagers had originally planned to come over to support Lin Duo, but when they saw Lin Xin taking action, they stopped involuntarily. This girl was really cruel and didn't care about her relatives. They were also afraid of getting another slap mark on their faces.

Suddenly, a burst of ghostly howling was heard not far away. Lin Xin opened her eyes and saw that it was Lin Duo's mother, Zhou, who was coming towards her while slapping her thigh and crying. The strange thing was that she was slapping her thigh with one hand while the other hand was firmly protecting her belly. The two hands were doing their own job and did not disturb each other. It was quite funny to watch.

Zhou walked quite fast, and ran towards Lin Duo as soon as she arrived. She slapped her thigh and pulled away her hand that was covering her face, and the clear palm print came into her eyes.

Lin Xin swore that what she saw in Zhou's eyes this time was genuine worry and anger.

"Lin Xin! Why did you hit my Lin Duo?" Zhou glared at Lin Xin angrily and asked loudly.

"Why do you say that? She's a slut! She didn't stay home early in the morning, but came to my house to disgust me, and even had dinner with us. Who else should I hit if not her? Was it you who didn't give her food?" Lin Xin crossed her arms, raised her chin and looked at Zhou with contempt, as if "I look down on you" was written on her face.

"She..." Zhou choked, turned around and glared at Lin Duo, then turned to Lin Xin: "Even so, you couldn't just talk it out nicely instead of resorting to violence? Our Lin Duo is getting married soon, and how can she get married after you hit her in the face like this?"

"Haha," Lin Xin sneered. "Getting married? The fact that your wonderful daughter showed up at my doorstep must be directly related to the wonderful in-laws you found for her! After all, she even begged me to lend her some money a few days ago to pay back the betrothal gifts you collected!"

"What did you say?" Zhou's scream was shrill and sharp. After she finished shouting, she turned around to look at Lin Duo, only to find that she had been keeping her head down, avoiding her gaze.

"Impossible, my daughter's in-laws are a first-class family, stop talking nonsense!" Zhou knew that Lin Xin was probably not lying as soon as she saw Lin Duo's expression, but how could she admit it at this time?
Everyone's impression of the Lin family has already plummeted because of what happened to Lin Xin's family. Now that it's rumored that they're going to sell their daughter to help their son get married, are they still going to be able to live as human beings?

Even though this daughter was born by her and the son was from the first wife, she had to maintain the face of the Lin family. After all, their second wife's son was in her belly now.

"Yes! A first-class good family! Then you should take good care of your good daughter and don't come to my house to disgust me again. Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to control my mouth and reveal your identity as a good son-in-law." Lin Xin said with extreme sarcasm.

"Remember what you said today." Zhou said sternly, then turned around, twisted Lin Duo's arm and dragged her home. "You little bitch, you're getting bolder and bolder. You even dared to come here and embarrass yourself. Wait until we get back and see how I'll teach you a lesson..."

Zhou's voice was getting farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard. Lin Xin scoffed indifferently and suddenly turned her gaze towards the corner where Lin Duo had been squatting before. She saw the old face that had not been able to hide in time.

It turned out to be Aunt Lin, who was wondering why Zhou had come so quickly. It turned out someone had reported her. But Lin Xin didn't care. She had solved Lin Duo's problem without her having to do anything. Maybe this time she would have to thank Aunt Lin for doing something good despite having bad intentions.

But Lin Xin was also a little puzzled. Her threats to Zhou Shi were just casual remarks. Any normal person could figure out who was marrying Lin Duo. Could it be hidden? Even if they kept it a secret now, what about the wedding day? Wouldn't everyone see it?

But Zhou was fooled by her and actually went back holding Lin Duo. This was really a bizarre thing, like the sun rising from the north.

Forget it, it’s none of my business. It’s better not to worry about it.

Lin Xin thought so, then finished her meal, cleaned up, and moved out the lounge chair with peace of mind. She sat in the yard, rocking in the sun. Next to her, Lin Nan was diligently reciting the soup recipe song.

Just when Lin Xin was dozing off, she suddenly heard the sound of carriage wheels rolling on the ground in the distance, and there was more than one. In the memories of Lin Xin and the original owner, there were almost no carriages entering this village. The only time was when Cui Shi came over to eat.

Therefore, it seems that the only people who can allow the carriage to enter this village are her and Lin Nan.

So, these carriages are coming for her?
With this realization, Lin Xin felt completely unwell. Couldn't she just give herself a break? She didn't want to go into the mountains at all!
As she expected, the rumbling sound of the carriage stopped at her door, followed by the old man's slightly excited voice: "Stinky girl, good disciple, Master is here!"

Lin Nan had been sitting obediently on the edge of the recliner, but upon hearing the voice, he immediately stood up and looked at Lin Xin with sparkling eyes, "Sister, Master is here!"

Lin Xin resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said gently, "Then go open the door for your master!"

"Okay, I understand, sister!" After saying that, Lin Nan ran over with his short legs and opened the door. When he saw Cui Shi, he immediately offered his childish voice: "Master, you are here!"

Cui Shi's old face was so happy that his eyes were invisible. He leaned over and hugged Lin Nan, "Oh, my dear disciple, do you miss your master?"

Lin Nan nodded seriously, "I thought about it. Every time I think of Master, I recite the book. So I have memorized everything Master taught me before!"

"Nannan is so amazing? Master needs to test you to see if you are really that amazing."

"Master, please feel free to test me. Nan Nan has truly memorized everything!" Lin Nan said this with great confidence. Lin Xin felt as if she saw light appear on Lin Nan's body at that moment, and she was suddenly a little moved.

However, when she saw what the young apprentice of the clinic unloaded from the carriage, she felt that her previous emotion was in vain.

There was rice, flour, grain, and oil on the ground, half a lamb rib, two slaughtered chickens, a large piece of high-quality pork belly, a wooden barrel higher than the knees, with water splashing from it from time to time, showing that it was either filled with fish or shrimp, a basket of various vegetables, and a small basket of seasonings such as star anise, peppercorns, and ginger.

Lin Xin's eyebrows twitched. Before she could question Cui Shi, she heard a familiar and clear voice outside the door: "Miss Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you don't mind."

She turned her neck and looked over. Who else could it be but Meng Yichen?
