Dressed as an evil mother-in-law, I will clean up and take the whole family away

Chapter 3 Stay alert
  The room was quiet, the lights flickering.

After a long time, there was a sigh.

Gu Yunting put the copper plate back and lay down to sleep.

He fell asleep quickly after a tiring day.

He didn't snore, he was as quiet as an iceberg, but with a man lying next to him, Lin Ling couldn't completely relax his nerves and successfully fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, when I counted more than 10,000 sheep, I was finally overcome by sleepiness and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already empty.

The sun shines through the window, which is a bit dazzling. It’s another sunny day.

Lin Ling got up and walked out, and saw Li Wuniang cooking in the kitchen, while the third and fourth child were helping him.

She knew how to cook, but the original owner never did anything to avoid exposing her secrets, so she decided not to get involved.

When he came to the yard behind the house, Gu Yunting was chopping firewood shirtless.

He has always chopped the firewood at home. Every time before going to the city to work, he would chop a large pile of firewood and pile it up under the eaves.

His skin is darker than that of his eldest son, and when he exerts force, the muscles in his arms bulge slightly, which is especially obvious.

Lin Ling stopped at Mankou and slowly lowered her gaze down the back of his neck.

There are many scars on the back, most of which were left on the battlefield in the early years of the army, and some were caused by hard labor in recent years.

The abdominal muscles are clear and the lines are beautiful. Compared with the coaches in the gym, they are not much different.

This is called wearing clothes to look thin and taking off clothes to make you look fatter. Yesterday, I couldn’t tell that he had such a good figure when he was wearing clothes.

He is handsome, has a great figure, and is very considerate of his family. Why does the original owner always look down on such a husband?

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Yunting noticed Lin Ling's gaze and turned back to look.

"No."

Lin Ling shook her head, pretended to be dizzy, and walked away holding on to the wall.

After going back to the room and lying down for a while, the meal was ready.

It was still a mess of sweet potatoes and dried wild vegetables. Although she disliked it, Lin Ling was really hungry and ate it all.

After eating, my stomach was still flat, but I felt a little more energetic.

"I'm going for a walk."

"Mom, do you want us to accompany you?" Lao San and Xiao Si came out and asked.

After all, she was her biological child. Even if the original owner beat and scolded them every day, she was still willing to get close to her.

Lin Ling touched their heads and said with a smile, "No need."

With yesterday's incident of selling his daughter-in-law, Gu Yunting must not trust her to take the child out.

Glancing towards the main room, I saw the tall figure standing at the door, looking this way.

"Go back, I'll go back as soon as I can."

Walking in the fields, you can meet villagers from time to time.

But the original owner's reputation in the village was so bad that even dogs disliked her, and no one would pay attention to her.

Passing by a house, she smiled at a little girl squatting on the ground playing in the mud.

The girl's mother quickly came over and carried her into the house: "Don't pay attention to her, or she will abduct you and sell you."

Lin Ling trembled at the corner of her mouth, straightened the cloth covering the wound on her head, straightened her chest and raised her head, and strode forward.

Due to the long-term drought, there has been no water in the rice fields for a long time, and some of them are even cracked. The rice seedlings are drooped in the sun and are wilting.

The river that passes through Tai Wan Village has completely dried up last month, with no trace of water visible, and the river bed has begun to crack.

Farmers often sit on the ridge of the fields, looking at the sky and sighing.

If this continues, there will be no harvest in the fields again this year.

Farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood. If their income is good, they can barely afford food and clothing. If their income is bad, they will starve to death.

Last year, nearly ten people starved to death in Dawan Village alone.

Looking at the desperate expressions on the faces of the villagers, Lin Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion in her heart. Life was not easy for the people in this era. She really couldn't bear to go shopping anymore, so she took the black noodles from the system and returned home in a hurry.

"Mom, what is this?"

The third child sniffed like a puppy and leaned in to smell it.

"Wow, it smells delicious, is it black noodles?"

Lin Ling's eyes lit up: "Your nose is really sharp!"

"Is it really black?" The third child opened it and looked at it, saliva filling his mouth. "Mom, where did you get it?"

"I used my personal money to buy it in the town. Take it to the kitchen and let your sister-in-law cook it." The original owner often hid his personal money, and the children all knew it.

Gu Panxing, the second eldest brother, came out of the back room and was immediately surprised when he heard that she had used her private money to buy food.

Mom actually buys food for the family? Doesn't she give it to shameless Guo Ming every time she has money? Last time, he stole his father's money to marry his son.

"Second brother, look, it's a black face!" The third child excitedly showed it to Gu Panxing, grinning with joy.

"That's right. It's worth being so happy. Look at your potential." The second child is thirteen years old this year, only two years older than the third child, but much more stable.

And in terms of maturity, he is even more mature than the eldest. Among the four children, he is the most similar to his father.

"It's just worth being happy." The third child shrugged his nose and quickly took the black noodles into the kitchen.

Li Wuniang chopped the wild vegetables, mixed them with black flour and kneaded them into a ball, then put them in a pot and roasted them without adding a drop of oil or salt.

Lin Ling knew that the pancakes made this way would definitely taste very bad, but this was the most advanced way they could afford to eat at the moment.

Twelve were branded in total, two for each person.

According to the past, if Gu Yunting is not at home, Li Wuniang and Xiaosi can only get one, because they will get one to be filial to the original owner.

"It smells so good." The third child was like a starved ghost reincarnated. He didn't care about burning it and finished one cake in three mouthfuls.

On the contrary, Xiao Si gnawed carefully and slowly, cherishing the food very much.

She planned to save the other one for next meal.

The family was very poor, and it was rare to eat black noodles.

Li Wuniang only ate one, and secretly gave the rest to her husband.

"Mr. Sir, you have to work in the fields. It takes a lot of energy. Eat one more."

The boss refused to accept it and stuffed it back into her: "No, I'm full."

His wife also has to work in the fields like him.

After the meal, Gu Yunting didn't say a word. After finishing the meal, he got up again, took the hoe and went to the ground.

He felt suspicious about Lin Ling coming back from buying black noodles. He was worried that there was something bad in her stomach, and reminded himself repeatedly to stay vigilant.

"Mom, we're going to the ground too."

The boss and Li Wuniang followed Gu Yunting out, leaving Gu Panxing at home to look after his younger siblings.

Lin Ling sat for a while, and then went out when the sun outside was less intense.

"Second brother, you watch the third child and fourth child, I'm going out."

She was going to Dongshan Village to break up with Guo Ming and get back all the money given by the original owner.

Gu Panxing was knitting straw sandals in the room. He raised his eyelids and glanced at her, ignoring her.

She went out in the morning and again in the afternoon. How could she have so many things to do? I must have gone to Guo's house in Dongshan Village again.

Dongshan Village is more remote than Dawan Village, so it is an upward mountain road.

Lin Ling was not full after eating, and she never ate anything greasy. Her physical strength was very low. She was exhausted and panting after not walking very far, so she had to stop and take a rest.

When I walked to a relatively flat path, I suddenly saw someone lying in front of me.

I quickly walked over to take a look and smelled a faint smell of blood.

Turning him over and taking a look, it turned out that there was a wound on his chest, which looked like he had been cut with a knife.

This man was about forty years old, and he looked like he belonged to a wealthy family. His face was pale, his pulse was weak, and he needed to stop the bleeding quickly.
