I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 76 A bloody plot

When the family arrived at Yangjia'ao's maternal home, they learned that Lin Min's third sister, Yang Susu, was pregnant with her fiancé's child, which led to the annulment of the engagement.

When Uncle Shan, Aunt Lin, and Lin Min heard this, they realized that their own family members were poaching their partner.

Now that she's pregnant, I can't hit her or scold her. What can I do?

That just means the two of them weren't meant to be.

Anyway, Lin Min didn't like the marriage, and after being persuaded by her parents and older brother, Aunt Lin and Lin Min had no choice but to accept it.

But somehow Lin Yu found out about this, because he had liked Lin Min since he was a child, and now this was exactly what he wanted.

So, without his family's objection, Lin Yu went to Uncle Youshan's house to propose marriage.

After hearing about this, Lin Lizheng and his wife no longer objected, as they had watched Lin Min grow up.

Lin Min practically lived at his house, knew him inside and out, and was very familiar with his temperament and personality. Since the children liked him, they quickly set a wedding date.

As Dongfang Jin listened, she thought to herself, "So these melodramatic plots from TV dramas actually happen in real life."

"This is so melodramatic! What happened next?"

Later, Lin Min's older sister successfully married him.

But after she entered the Ma family, she gave birth to several daughters in a row. The Ma family only had one son, so how could they not have a grandson?

Ma Chao had six older sisters. Although his mother had given birth to six daughters before having one son, she was unhappy that her daughter-in-law was also having daughters.

Sure enough, right after the old master of the Yang family passed away, the Ma family arranged for his son to take a concubine.

He also said that if she could give birth to a son, he would elevate her to the status of a secondary wife.

The concubine was also fertile, giving birth to twin sons for the Ma family the following year.

Dongfang Jin reached out and grabbed Gu Chenglin's ear, asking in a sinister tone, "Do you know enough?"

She knew that men could be just as gossipy as women, but wasn't it a bit incongruous for men in ancient times to be so gossipy?

Gu Chenglin hugged her and continued, "Lin Yu and Lin Min have been married for two years but have no children."

It was thanks to Grandpa Xu's treatment of Lin Min's health that she was able to have her current son.

After Lin Min gave birth to her son, when the Lin family held a full-month celebration, how could Lin Min's biological family members not be present?

The Ma family member naturally followed as well.

Dongfang Jin continued to tug at Gu Chenglin's ear and said, "Hehe, Lin Min's third sister wouldn't be here with her husband to show off, would she?"

Gu Chenglin subtly pulled her hand down; this wife of his was quite oblivious, even his ears were exposed.

Sigh, if she were to tear off the human skin mask again, wouldn't it be impossible to hide the fact that he wasn't injured on his face?

It's all my second cousin's fault, otherwise he wouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, wife: "My wife is really smart. Indeed, Lin Min's family really made a fool of themselves that time."

Because of this incident, Old Master Yang fell ill as soon as he returned home and passed away before the New Year was over.

After the passing of the Yang family patriarch, the Ma family's treatment of Yang Susu changed, leading to the matter of her taking a concubine.

Dongfang Jin pouted: "Hehe, so what goes around comes around."

What was she thinking? She even stole her own sister's man.

Thank goodness Lin Min didn't marry that scumbag, otherwise she would have been the one suffering.

If you ever feel you have too few children at home, you might dare to take a concubine or have extramarital affairs.

After I kill you, I'll divorce you, and then I'll find a few handsome men... Ugh...

Gu Chenglin: "..."

How dare she mention divorce, and yet she dares to date handsome men? This is intolerable!

Dongfang Jin is now truly living up to the saying he just said: what goes around comes around.

She was tormented by Gu Chenglin for half the night, and only after she begged for mercy countless times did Gu Chenglin finally let her go.

Oh my god! That's terrifying!

If they actually consummate their marriage, she will be...

Early the next morning.

Gu Chenglin covered Dongfang Jin with the blanket, dressed himself, and got up to leave with a satisfied look on his face.

After practicing a set of military-style boxing in the yard, I saw my son come out and told him not to wake his mother today, but to let her sleep until she naturally woke up.

Gu Jingye nodded to indicate that he understood, and then imitated his father's movements a few times, his little fists beating with great force.

Gu Chenglin praised him a few times, then went to the backyard, fed the cow, and waited for it to eat and drink its fill before harnessing the oxcart and driving to the county.

My wife said yesterday that she had a lot of things to buy today, so he had to go early and come back early.

He had originally planned to go together, but now he has to go out by himself.

Now that it's getting cold, he can't bear to let his wife go out so early.

Thinking back to last night... he and his wife didn't go all the way, but he was still very satisfied.

When Dongfang Jin woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. That damned old man, how dare he treat her like that.

Thankfully it didn't continue, otherwise... hmph.

Hearing the faint sound of reading coming from the front yard, he had a sudden thought and disappeared from the kang (a heated brick bed).

After entering the space, Dongfang Jin took a shower first. Seeing the marks on her body, she cursed Gu Chenglin to death again.

I changed my clothes, went to the kitchen to find something to eat, took out a carton of milk, tore it open and poured it into a saucepan to heat it up, and also took out a piece of tiramisu and a box of egg tarts.

She closed the refrigerator, ate the pastries, and drifted into memories; all of these were stuffed full of food by Su Jinyan.

That guy knew she liked sweets, so every time he came to her house, he would fill the refrigerator to the brim for her.

This made her wonder if those things were leftovers from his family's Western restaurant.

Looking back now, I realize that the two refrigerators and two large freezers in her house were gifts from Qian Duoduo, whose family made their fortune in the home appliance business.

The beef and mutton inside were filled by Song Bin and Jiang Xiaopei.

The Jiang family are Hui Muslims, and their chain of braised meat shops and hot pot restaurants is number one in the eastern district of Beijing.

Li Baitong's family are all doctors, except for him, of course.

He disliked studying medicine, and under his parents' urging and insistence, after graduating from medical school, he switched careers and opened his own bar, preferring to dabble in alcohol.

Then there's Shen Zhouzhou, whose family is in the real estate business, and her older brother has a business relationship with the Shen family...

Bringing my thoughts back, after eating and drinking my fill, I went to Youranju and dug out that copy of the "Three Character Classic".

I took it to her office area in her villa, and with the paper I had bought at the Four Seasons Bookstore last time, I printed it out page by page on the printer.

Looking at the printed document, she was once again amazed by the wonder of this place.

She had no idea why these things could be used here; she simply couldn't understand it.

Holding the stack of papers, I went out of the house and into the yard. Looking at the empty land, I was at a loss.

Or... or should we let Gu Chenglin come in and plant it?

With this idea in mind, her laziness increased even more. Well, that's the decision I'll make.

He then asked Gu Chenglin to act as a cover for him, and moved the flowers from the flower room here.

Let's start by growing vegetables in the greenhouse. It's okay to eat Chinese cabbage every day for a short time, but she won't like it after a while.

Korean kimchi and the like also need chili peppers, but there aren't any here, nor in her space; she only has a bag of seeds.

We must plant it first, because she can't live without spicy food, and the fact that she hasn't eaten spicy food until now is already her limit.

Oh, right, she hasn't gone to see that orchard yet.

Thinking about it, Dongfang Jin took the printed Three Character Classic and left the space.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, Dongfang Jin didn't go to the kitchen for dinner, but went straight to the back door.

When Gu Chenglin returned with a cart full of things, he didn't see Dongfang Jin. He asked her and found out that she was still sleeping.

After the group finished unloading the cart, Gu Chenglin quickly unharnessed the ox, added some hay, and then hurried into the room.
