If it were not for Ms. Lu of Lin Clan bringing the matter before the land officer and Clan Chief Lin, and the dozens of men in the village coming with hoes and sticks to demand for justice, she would have really been buried alive by now.
However, even so, the original host had died.
"Mhm, unforgivable!"
How could she let such a person off easily? Just letting her kneel in the rain would be too easy on her!
There will be days in the future when Liu Rumei will suffer!
Of course, before taking revenge, she must strengthen herself and this family. Otherwise, how could she handle this 'good' second aunt who had fooled her husband into becoming a son-in-law, and even changed her surname to Liu?
Once again wiping her face, Lin Caisang glanced at her clothes on the bed and prepared to get up from the wooden bucket.
...
In the drizzling rain, several young men were walking towards the village from the field roads, having been in the mountains for several days now.
"Cousin, cousin, Grandma asked me to call you home, something has happened at home."
With a small broken umbrella in his hand, Lin Changyi braved the rain and rushed out from the village. Near the forest, he indeed found Lin Changhong whom he was looking for.
"What happened?"
Lin Changhong was still just a young boy. After all, he shared the same mother with Lin Caisang and was only thirteen years old, but he was beautifully fair and handsome.
Upon hearing Lin Changyi's words, the hand holding the bow and arrow tightened as he asked.
"It is Cousin Sang, she... she was nearly buried alive!"
Lin Changyi's gaze tilted slightly, sweeping over the other men standing next to Lin Changhong. Despite his young age, his face turned red as he spoke the last few words.
Among them was his most admired Brother Molian!
How could he just openly talk about such a wicked second aunt who would even harm her own family members, and had nearly sold his deeply beloved cousin Sang?
"What?!"
Fury appeared instantly on Lin Changhong's face, and in the next moment, he vanished without even sparing time to inform his companions.
"Cousin, cousin... wait for me." Lin Changyi immediately followed after him.
His sister might be simple-minded, but she couldn't have been buried alive, right?
And who in the village would dare touch his sister? Disobeying the village elder and the clan chief would get them exiled from the village. And being buried alive? It was more likely that someone had been buried by his sister!
However, the fact was that Lin Changyi would not lie, let alone have the audacity to lie to him!
His sister had truly been bullied!
"Buried alive?"
The man in black stood tall in the drizzling rain, holding a longbow. He didn't even have a hat on his head to shield him from the rain, letting the drops trace down his face, highlighting his cold countenance.
Upon hearing Lin Changyi's words, he frowns slightly, adding a bit of expression to his ordinarily calm face.
"Who dares to mess with the young lady, Lin Caisang? Did he eat the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard?" Another man holding a few hunts expresses his doubts.
Who was Lin Caisang? She was the fortune star!
She was the key person that everyone in Ya Village, from the eighty-year-old elders to the three-year-old children, would protect. Not to mention being hit, even a small nick on her finger was considered a catastrophe!
But now, she was nearly buried alive?!
"Enxi, go and find out."
Watching the receding figures of Lin Changhong and Lin Changyi, Ya Molian ordered the person beside him.
"Alright." Ya Enxi nodded.
Even if not for the fortune star, Lin Caisang, for the sake of Uncle Baizhong who had often helped them earlier, they should stand up for Lin Caisang too.
