Chapter 282 Night Visit
After that, it is time to burn door god paper. Customs vary from place to place, but people here mostly burn festive pine and cypress branches and door god portraits together on the third day of the Lunar New Year, to indicate that the New Year is over and it is time to start doing business.
Lin Chuyi's family didn't have any door god portraits, so Lin Chuyi painted two and burned them, with the main purpose of respecting customs.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, it is the Kitchen God's turn to check the household registration, so every household must stay at home, prepare rich offerings, and welcome the Kitchen God.
There is a tradition of welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. It is said that the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, so on this day, every family will open the doors and windows, burn incense, set off firecrackers, and light fireworks to welcome the God of Wealth, hoping that the whole year will be smooth and profitable.
Piao Miao Pavilion, like most of the shops in the county, reopened today. Lin Chuyi drove them to the shop in a horse-drawn carriage early in the morning.
After Lin Jinxiu gave the three of them red envelopes for the new year, Lin Chuyi set off a long string of firecrackers at the door, indicating that the store was open for business.
After that, Lin Chuyi returned to the village and started her plan of digging a hole.
Lin Chuyi waited until late at night when everyone was asleep before taking action. She pasted an invisibility talisman on herself.
She had accumulated quite a few invisibility talismans in her space backpack, among which low-level ones were the most numerous. The one she put on herself was a low-level invisibility talisman.
The effectiveness of a low-level invisibility talisman is only one hour, but this one hour is enough for Lin Chuyi to complete what she wants to do.
She arrived smoothly at the hometown of the Lin family named Lin Fugui.
Lin Fugui is only in his early forties this year. The reason why he can serve as the elder of the Lin family at such an age is mainly because of his seniority. He is of the same generation as the Lin family patriarch who is over 70 years old.
Normally, relying on his status as a clan elder, he often seeks benefits for his family. However, Qingshan Village is not a wealthy village, and the Lin clan located in Qingshan Village does not have any enviable resources. Therefore, even though Lin Fugui has been seeking benefits for his family over the years, he has not made much money.
The style of his house is similar to that of most houses in the village. If Lin Chuyi had not checked it out in advance, he might have mistaken the door.
Lin Chuyi came to the fence wall of Lin Fugui's house and easily jumped over it using his lightness skills. When he landed, there was no sound.
Lin Chuyi stood up and turned on the stone-throwing function, locking the detection range within a diameter of ten meters. The next moment, the conditions of each room appeared in Lin Chuyi's mind.
As expected, everyone had fallen asleep, and Lin Chuyi walked towards the room where Lin Fugui was with a clear purpose.
When passing by a courtyard wall, Lin Chuyi slapped a silencing talisman and a sleeping talisman on it, then pushed open Lin Fugui's door and walked in. Just in case, Lin Chuyi turned around and closed the door after entering.
Lin Chuyi was invisible at this time. If someone saw this scene, they would probably think they saw a ghost late at night. It was a pity that no one saw this scene, otherwise the village would probably have another topic of conversation tomorrow.
Lin Chuyi came to the bedside of Lin Fugui and his wife, slapped a mantra talisman and a dream talisman on each of them, and began to guide them to tell the real purpose of wanting them to return to the Lin family.
It turned out that they had seen the changes in the Lin family over the past six months and knew that the Lin siblings were no longer the same as they used to be. They were not satisfied with the profits brought by the peppers and wanted to form a deeper bond with the siblings in order to seek greater benefits.
With this idea in mind, Lin Fugui went to find Lin Jinxiu and her two siblings, hoping to persuade them to return their branch to the Lin family tree.
When the matter is settled, he will arrange a scene of a hero saving a beautiful girl with his wife's nephew. When the two of them have physical contact, he will use the name of the clan elder to bring them together. Lin Jinxiu will have to marry him even if she doesn't want to.
The nephew that the couple is talking about is already 18 this year. Logically, he should have been married a long time ago, but because his parents are not around, the marriage has not been going smoothly. The couple are the only relatives left for this nephew.
On weekdays, they take good care of their nephew, and the nephew is also very filial to them. He would send gifts to their home during festivals. It is no exaggeration to say that he is half a son to them.
If Lin Jinxiu marries their nephew, it would be equivalent to becoming their daughter-in-law. What benefits will she get in the future? Aren't they all the Lin family's?
It was a pity that their plan failed from the very first step. God knew those kids were so stubborn. As they talked, Lin Fugui and his wife began to scold Lin Jinxiu and the others.
The more Lin Chuyi listened, the more angry she became. It was true that human greed was unsatisfactory. Not only had she received benefits from their family, she was not satisfied at all and had even started to plot Jinxiu's marriage. She had underestimated the viciousness of human nature.
Fortunately, their second plan had not yet been implemented, and Lin Jinxiu had not fallen into their calculations, so everything could still be changed.
This time, she wanted to let them have a taste of being schemed against. Didn't she want to find a wife for her nephew? Then she would kindly help them.
Lin Chuyi asked for the nephew's specific address, and then removed the truth talisman and the dream talisman. Before leaving, Lin Chuyi also took away all the savings that Lin Fugui and others had hidden in the house.
After tearing off the two talismans stuck on the wall, Lin Chuyi used his Qinggong skills to go find the good nephew that Lin Fugui and the others had mentioned.
By the time Lin Chuyi finished his work, half an hour had passed. Lin Chuyi turned around to look at the two people who were hugging each other tightly because of the cold, and turned his eyes away in disgust. It was really an eye-opener.
She had done what she was supposed to do. Now she just had to wait until dawn to watch the show. When Lin Chu thought of that scene, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
The invisibility talisman had not expired yet, so Lin Chuyi went to visit Old Lin's house again, wanting to see their current situation and test their current thoughts. If they still wanted to plot against her and her brother, she could just deal with them all at once.
Ever since Lin Youcai, the eldest son of the Lin family, was dismissed by He Dongsheng, the owner of Juxianju and returned the money he had embezzled from Juxianju over the years under the threat of He Dongsheng, he could not bear the successive blows and has been bedridden ever since.
Not only did they lose their way to make money, but they also lost most of their family wealth. They also had to pay rent for housing and money for medical treatment and medicine. All these things made the Lin family, which used to live a comfortable life, suddenly become stretched to the limit. It was as if their family was possessed by the god of bad luck, and bad things happened one after another.
