The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 44 Itchy Powder

After Old Mrs. Lin and her companions left, the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain finally became quiet.

After the commotion, Mr. Lin was very depressed and went back to his room with his head down. Mrs. Lin was heartbroken and didn't know what to say.

"Mother, don't take it too seriously. Go see Father. After all, he's family, and it's a difficult situation for him." Lin Yan knew what her father was thinking. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't want to hurt his own mother.

"However, I'm not so heartless. Today I'll teach you a lesson!" Lin Yan was extremely disgusted by the Lin family's behavior of causing trouble at her door, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Moreover, if he does nothing, these people will probably follow him to the county stalls and cause trouble, which will be even more troublesome.

That night, as darkness fell, Lin Yan quietly and deftly left her house and ran quickly towards the Lin family home.

Having recovered during this time, Lin Yan's physical strength had increased significantly. With the boost from her superpower, she ran incredibly fast. Even if there were people on the village roads at night, they wouldn't be able to see clearly what was passing by!

When Lin Yan arrived at the Lin family home, she saw that the lights were still on in the main room. She stood outside the door, threw in a few grass seeds, and used her supernatural abilities to help them grow.

She tossed grass seeds into the crack of the door, perfect for eavesdropping. Lin Yan found a tree outside and leaned against it, listening intently to what was happening inside.

"What are you trying to do! Aren't you ashamed! You even got the village chief to kick you back!" Old Man Lin's hoarse voice rang out first.

"What's shameful about this? They're the ones who should be ashamed! They make money but don't even know how to be filial to their parents," Old Mrs. Lin retorted indignantly.

"That's right, Mother, we absolutely can't let them get away with this! I heard all over the county that their dried fruit is selling like hotcakes, they can earn two taels of silver a day!" Lin Xiaoxiao felt incredibly envious when she thought of the basket of copper coins she saw on the street a couple of days ago.

"What! Two ounces! Cough cough cough cough!" Old Man Lin was so surprised that he choked on his pipe.

“That’s right, Father! He can earn two taels every time!” Li Shi was also very jealous and quickly urged him on.

Old Man Lin calmed down, silently lowering his head in thought, a look of hesitation on his face. If Lin Hai were just earning enough for his own meals, he certainly wouldn't ask for it, after all, it had been agreed in front of the whole village that the eldest son wouldn't interfere. But this business was making so much money…

Hearing that the old man inside had fallen silent, Lin Yan knew what he was thinking and snorted coldly, "I knew that old man wasn't any good!"

"Everyone in the village knows what happened, so it's not easy to ask them for the money!" Old Man Lin said, frowning.

"Who cares! Let them think what they want! They've been selling for a month and have made dozens of taels of silver, but they haven't given us a single share!" Li didn't care what others thought; silver was the most important thing.

"Hmph, it's only natural for him to be filial to his mother, what's wrong with that!" Old Mrs. Lin snorted coldly.

"That's right, if I could get my hands on this silver, I'm sure I could marry into the county!" Lin Herui said with anticipation in her eyes.

She remembered that Li Siyao had said the dried fruit was delicious. She thought that if she told Li that it was her family's business, she would surely gain Li's friendship.

"Second son, what do you think?" Old Man Lin didn't want to pay attention to these three women with long hair and short brains, so he looked at his second son.

"I...I...I don't know!" Lin Fang felt it was inappropriate to ask for money, but he was also envious of how much his older brother earned.

Li pinched him hard, her face full of disgust.

Looking at his good-for-nothing second son, Old Man Lin felt a lump in his throat and gave up on him.

“It’s not appropriate to ask for money directly. Second son’s family, why don’t you go to the eldest son’s house tomorrow and learn how to make dried fruit? Let them teach you this skill!” Old Man Lin said righteously.

“We’re all family. How can we not teach our own people such a good way out? Once you learn it, you can go out and sell them too! Anyway, there are plenty of apricot trees in this village. They’re just sour and astringent when eaten raw. They’ll definitely have a way to make them taste good!”

Lin Fang nodded in agreement when he heard his father say this, thinking it was a good idea.

Grandma Lin was displeased. "What? No money required!"

"You're so ignorant! Once you learn how to make it, you'll be able to earn your own money!" Old Man Lin said with great disdain for the old woman.

“No, we have to teach them the method. What about all the money they earned before? That’s dozens of taels of silver!” Old Mrs. Lin said, shaking her head.

"Alright, once you've learned the skill, you'll earn far more than just a few dozen taels." Old Man Lin became increasingly certain of his approach.

Lin Yan rolled her eyes, marveling at how shameless this family was.

"I still want to learn how to make it, let's talk about it when you can go tomorrow!" Lin Yan held a porcelain bottle in her hand, smiling slyly.

While the group was still discussing what to do tomorrow in the main room, Lin Yan sprinkled the itching powder she had prepared on their kang (heated brick bed) before leaving, satisfied.

…………

The next day, Lin Yan and Li Xiaocao, who had come to help, packed up the dried fruit as usual, preparing to take it to the county to sell.

But then they heard Lin Yu shouting from inside, "I'm not going to school today!"

"Why aren't you going!" Lin's father said angrily.

"If that family dares to come again today, I won't be polite!" Lin Yu knew about the incident where Old Madam Lin came to cause trouble yesterday and was worried that they would come again today, so he thought of staying.

Lin's father's anger subsided. "You don't need to worry about that. They can't do anything! Go to your school!"

"No!" Lin Yu continued to argue.

"Ayu, go to school! They won't be coming today!" Lin Yan called out to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu turned his head and saw his sister looking at him. He was about to say something when he saw Lin Yan's subtle expression and her meaningful smile.

"Don't worry, they definitely won't come!"

Lin Yu looked at her, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Ah, ah, oh! Then I'll go to school!" Lin Yu nodded, packed his schoolbag, and got on his father's mule cart.

Lin's father was about to scold him, but when he saw his son obediently get into the car, he looked surprised and asked, "Why are you going again!"

"My sister told me to go to class!" Lin Yu said obediently.

Lin's father: "…………" All my words were for nothing!

After they left, Li Xiaocao asked in confusion, "Ayan, how did you know they weren't coming today? I was afraid they would cause trouble in the county today, and they even brought weapons!"

As he spoke, he raised the fire poker that was tucked into his waistband.

Lin Yan: "…………"

"That explains why you brought this thing with you!"

Thinking about what she had done last night, Lin Yan couldn't help but look forward to seeing how the Lin family would be today, and said with a smile, "They have other things to do today!"

"Huh?" Li Xiaocao tilted her head, her face full of surprise.

"Busy scratching your itch!" Lin Yan said, then fell silent.

"Huh? Busy with what?" Li Xiaocao thought she had misheard!

…………

The Lin family at this moment.

"Oh dear! I'm so itchy! Oh dear! This is killing me!" Li Shi thrashed about on the kang (a heated brick bed) with her plump body.

Lin Fang kept asking Lin Jie to scratch him.

In another room, Old Mrs. Lin was scratching Old Mr. Lin's itch. As she scratched, she suddenly trembled and started scratching herself, feeling that scratching anywhere was not enough!

Lin He Rui cried from the itch; her skin was burning from scratching, but she couldn't get relief.

They naturally had no time to think about anything else.
