Transmigrated into a fat wife, farming, raising children, and picking up husbands

"Isn't that Mei Liangxin going to write a false accusation? I'll secretly find it and burn it, so my father can't hold court or hear the case! Doesn't that nip their plans in the bud?"

Lin Xiuer's eyes lit up! This was a good way to buy time!

If they can block the road from Wu Lizheng's side, the Black Fish Gang's operation will be delayed, giving them ample time to prepare.

"Good idea, Young Master Wu. Also, if the village head already knows about this, ask him how much silver Master Mei gave your father."

"If it's only two taels, just say that you heard Jia Heiyu gave Master Mei ten taels of silver. That way, I think the village head will be even less willing to hold court."

"I'm leaving this to you! But be careful, act according to the situation, and don't give anything away or alert the enemy."

She gave her earnest instructions.

"rest assured!"

Wu Liangcai straightened his back, feeling a sense of responsibility for an important mission, and was full of energy. "I'm going back right now! I promise I'll handle it perfectly!"

As he spoke, he no longer cared about Chen Mingxuan and hurriedly led his servants down the mountain.

On the hillside, the five people who had been whispering excitedly together just moments before were now reduced to just Lin Xiuer and Ping An.

A mountain breeze rustled through the grass and trees, making the surroundings exceptionally tranquil.

The two of them weren't idle either. They squatted down next to a clump of wild Sichuan peppercorns, carefully picking the small, fragrant red berries while avoiding the thorns.

Lin Xiuer's hands were busy, and her mind was racing.

"My dear husband, I think just dressing up as ghost messengers might not be enough. We need to prepare some props to make the atmosphere even more eerie."

Lin Xiuer counted on her fingers, "For example, phosphorus powder, paper figures and paper money, and so on."

"We dressed up as the Black and White Impermanence, dragging iron chains around the garden, the chains rattling loudly. When they came out to check, we scattered a handful of paper money with the wind."

"If the paper money had a bit of phosphorus powder on it, it would float around in the dark, emitting a ghostly glow—wouldn't that scare them to death!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her face showing a mixture of tension and excitement: "Husband, you are the best at fighting. When the time comes, find a dark corner to hide in and wear the scariest blue-faced, fanged mask."

"Once they're lured over, suddenly flash your face with a tinderbox—it'll scare them out of their wits!"

Ping An listened quietly, and as she described it, she seemed to see the scene of the desolate garden under the moonlight, with ghostly figures looming around.

His gaze fell on Lin Xiuer's cheeks, which were slightly flushed with excitement.

Ever since he woke up from his amnesia, the first thing he saw was a woman burdened with huge debts, in a difficult situation, but gritting her teeth and persevering.

She worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk for her family, kneading dough and making pancakes, dealing with creditors, and caring for the elderly and children. Her resilience and vitality had already moved him.

Despite being in a difficult situation, surrounded by powerful enemies.

Faced with the Black Fish Gang's insidious schemes and collusion with the government, an ordinary woman would probably be terrified and helpless, or only know how to cry and beg.

His wife, far from showing the slightest fear or hesitation, devised a brilliant, intricately linked plan that struck at the heart of the matter, to confront him head-on.

At this moment, she was as lively and cunning as a little fox ready to do something mischievous at any moment. The subtle displeasure he felt because of Chen Mingxuan was also somewhat diluted.

His wife's courage and wit far exceeded his expectations.

"My wife was able to devise such a meticulous plan to deal with them in such a short time, so naturally I will do my utmost to assist you. Please just tell me what you need me to do."

His gaze was earnest, not perfunctory, and he showed no impatience because she was a woman and her ideas were somewhat troublesome. Instead, it was a look of complete trust and support.

Hearing him say that, Lin Xiuer felt a warmth in her heart, and her smile became even brighter.

"Great! With my husband saying that, I feel even more confident. Let's go to the paper craft shop in town tonight and see if we can order some skulls, human bones, or something like that."

"With these things, our underworld judgment panel can be more realistic!"

"A black skull, smeared with pig's blood, thrown into Lai Qi's arms, and his back pain will be cured immediately."

Lin Xiuer laughed heartily, counting on her fingers as she made her plans.

"I remember there's a small fireworks workshop in town; they must have white phosphorus there. Let's go ask and buy just a small piece."

"it is good."

Ping An nodded in agreement and naturally took the increasingly heavy basket from her shoulder. "Then let's go home first, cook breakfast early, and head to town as soon as possible."

The two walked down the mountain hand in hand and returned home. When Wang saw that only the two of them had returned, she was a little surprised.

Lin Xiuer simply said that Lao Hu and the two young masters had gone back to town to do something, and that she and Ping An would also have to go to town in a while to buy some special ingredients for making pancakes tomorrow.

Although Wang was a little puzzled about "what to buy at night to make cakes", seeing that her daughter and son-in-law looked normal, she didn't ask any more questions. She just told them to go early and come back early and to be careful.

After a quick dinner, it was already completely dark.

Lin Xiuer and Ping An went out again, heading towards Peach Blossom Town under the moonlight.

The town at night is completely different from its bustling daytime atmosphere; most shops have closed, with only a few lights still on.

The paper craft shop in town is located at the end of a quiet alley. The storefront is small, but it is filled with all kinds of paper figures, horses, gold and silver ingots, pavilions, and carriages.

Under the dim light, the pale-faced, rosy-cheeked boys and girls stared with wide eyes, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

An old craftsman with gray hair and a hunched back is drawing eyes on an unfinished paper figure under the dim light of an oil lamp.

The master chef was somewhat surprised to see guests so late, especially two outstanding young men.

Lin Xiuer explained her purpose.

She made up a reason that the village was going to hold an exorcism opera and needed some special props, and then offered a deposit.

A knowing glint flashed in the old master's cloudy eyes. He didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Skulls, human bones... we have ready-made molds, hurry up and make them, we can pick them up tomorrow night. You want them to be frightening, right? I know."

"Well, it doesn't need to be too perfect. A skull, hands, feet, etc., with a few cracks on the surface, or a missing tooth, is fine. The most important thing is that it has to be realistic and terrifying."

Having solved the problem of making paper props, the two of them found the firecracker workshop hidden in a deep alley in the dark.

The workshop owner was a lean, middle-aged man. He heard that they wanted to buy some firecrackers and white phosphorus.

The man looked them up and down a few times, probably thinking they didn't seem like bad people. Seeing that Lin Xiuer spoke sincerely, he took a piece from a small jar in the inner room, wrapped it very carefully in oil paper, and handed it to them.

He repeatedly warned, "This thing is dangerous; it catches fire easily. Be extremely careful when using it. Avoid contact with open flames, do not rub it, and don't set yourself on fire."

With the two key items secured, Lin Xiuer felt much more at ease. She and Ping An then went to Old Hu's house to continue discussing the details.
