Chapter 287 Familiar Faces Everywhere
Chapter 287 Familiar Faces Everywhere
The women who came to help gradually left, and the place finally quieted down.
Aunt Zhang and Ahua stayed behind and, after much persuasion, finally managed to calm Liu Cuijuan down.
Lin Yu'an woke up from his drowsy state, and fortunately, the first thing he saw when he woke up was his mother, whom he had been longing to see the most.
Suddenly, a flood of emotions welled up inside me—fear, resentment, sadness, confusion, and more—but I didn't know how to express them. All I could do was hoarsely call out, "Mother~"
Liu Cuijuan thought he had accidentally tripped and fallen, and was terrified. Tears welled up in her eyes again and began to fall.
Not wanting her child to worry any longer, she quickly turned her face away and wiped away her tears with the rough fabric that chafed her skin.
She smiled again, gently smoothing his disheveled hair back, and comforted him:
"My dear An'an, don't be afraid, Mommy will take you to see a doctor right away."
Lin Yu'an smiled at her, then closed his eyes again. Unlike on the mountain, he was now sleeping peacefully.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang and Ahua quickly stepped forward and helped An'an up, who was clinging to her tightly...
The story finally came to an end. Lin Chunyi sniffed, sighed, and then got up to dust herself off.
He said, "Let's go, Lanshan, let's go back too."
Lin Lanshan nodded and said, "Sister, places with lots of people are really lively. But I still prefer the feeling of secretly watching others have fun like this~"
She even considered that whenever she got bored in the mountains, she could go down to a secluded spot and observe what everyone was doing!
It would be best if they became even more powerful later on, so that wherever they go and whatever happens, they can find a place to hide and secretly peek at other people's gossip, hahaha~
Hmm, why do I feel like I'm becoming a bit of a pervert...?
"Stop grinning like an idiot, hurry up and go. Your score for today is still zero! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Peach and Reunion and Peace if you go home empty-handed?"
"Ah, I almost forgot!" Lin Lanshan scrambled to her feet, looking annoyed. "Quick, let's go! I need to get back now and go on a killing spree!"
After saying that, she hurriedly grabbed her sister and ran towards the mountain path without looking back.
Hmph, the hunt is about to begin!
As soon as the two sisters left, Ahua seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped, glanced at the place they had just been, and then thoughtfully looked away.
After Aunt Zhang noticed this, she followed her gaze to the hillside but didn't see anything unusual. She then asked, "Little Flower, what are you looking at? Is there something on that slope?"
"Ah? It's nothing, it's nothing. I must have been mistaken." She didn't say that she had felt like someone was watching them from the hillside ever since she arrived.
And there seemed to have been a very soft voice just now? She wasn't quite sure.
But a possible guess inexplicably formed in her mind.
If it's really as she thinks, then the reason why An'an is lying here has probably been found.
The pheasant that was mysteriously "lying" on An'an's chest now makes perfect sense.
So that pheasant was...
She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then took two steps back and grabbed the pheasant that everyone had forgotten. "Aunt Zhang, this pheasant belongs to An'an. Let's give it to him when he wakes up."
"Right, right, I completely forgot about something so important!"
Liu Cuijuan asked with a puzzled look, "Pheasant? What's with this pheasant? I almost thought..."
Aunt Zhang shook her head, indicating she didn't know. "You can ask An'an yourself when he wakes up."
After saying that, the group headed towards Yang Yu's house.
Meanwhile, Lin Youfu, the village chief who was completely unaware of what was happening here, was leading eight or nine able-bodied men from the village to search for Lin Yu'an in the mountains.
Of course, this group of innocent people, who were completely unaware of the situation and cautiously searching for the missing person in the mountains, also included the two sisters' good older brother, Lin Zhengmin, and their apprentice, Yang Yu...
The two sisters were in high spirits after doing a good deed, and they chatted as they walked up the mountain.
Lin Lanshan suddenly remembered something and said, "An'an, that name... Sister, what a small world! There are familiar faces everywhere! No wonder his name sounded so familiar, I finally remember who he is!"
An'an is Lin Yu'an, Cuijuan is Liu Cuijuan, and that cousin... Lin Yu'an's cousin is Lin Xiaomei, who came to Yang Yu's house to find him last time!
So Lin Yu'an's mother, Liu Cuijuan, was the youngest daughter-in-law who was almost sold by that wicked mother-in-law and then forced to live separately!
Sigh, this suffering is truly cruel; why did they have to take such a cruel gamble from this family?
Lin Chunyi replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's such a small village, how many people could be named An'an? Oh~ you actually remembered? You're not thinking about our An'an, are you?"
"Of course not!" Lin Lanshan puffed out her cheeks and continued angrily:
"I'll say it again, I can tell the difference between a person and a goose! Wait, you already knew? Why didn't you remind me? Lin Xiaomei did something bad!"
With what Ahua said last time and what my sister-in-law said the time before that as a basis, isn't it obvious who is right and who is wrong in this matter?
If I had realized a little earlier that this vicious cousin was Lin Xiaomei, I would have taught her a lesson back in the mountains!
Lin Chunyi looked at her younger sister and said helplessly, "You know what you could do, right? Did you just rush down and talk to them? What could you have said?"
They say Lin Xiaomei is a vicious person who even killed her four- or five-year-old cousin. Everyone should stay away from this girl.
"Forehead……"
Lin Lanshan paused, then slumped her shoulders and said, "Then let's forget it. Why would I go and talk badly about someone I don't know to so many other people? It would make me look like a gossip and a busybody!"
Yeah, we don't even know each other, why is she worrying about this for no reason?
What a waste of your breath!
The villagers had never even seen the two of them before. Only someone with a screw loose would disbelieve Lin Xiaomei, who was from the same village, and instead believe these two "outsiders" who suddenly appeared.
Lin Chunyi was amused by her startled reaction and said, "Haha, no, no, I'll definitely tell you anyway~"
After all, Lin Xiaomei is genuinely ruthless, and her desire for revenge is quite strong. However, she's careful who she tells; she doesn't just kill people randomly without reason.
For example, there's Yang Yu, whom Lin Xiaomei is currently thinking about. Actually, Yang Yu might be alright, since she likes him, and she can't just take his life so soon.
But the main concern is Ahua and Ashu; those two "burdens"... well, that's another story.
Since she could ruthlessly seek revenge on Liu Cuijuan's four- or five-year-old child simply because she hated Liu Cuijuan for ruining her plans, she decided to do so.
If she suffers any setback with Yang Yu, will she take it out on his younger siblings...?
It's hard to say.
