Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Lin Yongle Returns Home (9)_1 Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Lin Yongle Returns Home (9)_1 Although there were not many bricks left, she didn’t lack those few taels of silver, but that didn’t mean people could just steal from her house.

Lin Yuan considered herself not to be a stingy person, if anyone really had difficulties and wanted to borrow a few bricks, she would have generously given them away.

But stealing crossed her bottom line.

In contemplation, Xia Zheng had already started to observe closely, bending down.

The countryside was different from towns, with dirt paths everywhere.

Once washed by rain, they became wet and muddy.

Although the paths were not easy to walk on, they had a benefit—one’s footprints could easily be left behind.

Xia Zheng pointed at the messy trail of footprints on the ground, looked up towards the direction they led, and scoffed, “It seems someone has taken an interest in you.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan also looked down carefully.

Though the rain had washed the footprints until they were not very clear, they still existed.

Following the footprints led to the front of the old house.

“Indeed, someone is thinking about me again!”

Exchanging a glance with Xia Zheng, they both saw cunning in each other’s eyes and laughed without planning to, truly ‘like family, like door.’

Since someone was inviting disaster, of course, they would kindly oblige them.

The heavy rain had prompted everyone in the village to wake up early to check on their households.

Most people’s homes were fine; though their roofs leaked a bit, their houses were still intact.

But some weren’t so lucky, such as Chen Zhu’s house.

Already in a state of disrepair, the heavy rain had left half of the three rooms on the brink of collapse, with the toilet and kitchen completely ruined.

Even the urine in the toilet had been washed out by the rain, leaving a foul stench in the courtyard that made people hold their noses and stay far away.

Because she lived close to Lin Yuan’s house, and she remembered the original owner had promised to look after Chen Zhu’s parents, she planned to go take a look.

But before she could even reach the door, she heard Old Man Chen’s cursing voice.

“It rains, it rains!

Is Heaven blind?

Good people’s houses are ruined, yet Little Disaster Star’s house is fine!

Heaven must also be muddled!

I don’t know what benefits that broom star brought them, everything’s unfair!”

Lin Yuan, who was about to knock, suddenly withdrew her hand, chuckling coldly in her heart.

This blind old fool was really something, blaming her because his house was not sturdy!

She wondered, was it her fault that it rained?

Or was it her who made his decrepit house collapse?

Xia Zheng, who already disliked Lin Yuan caring for her ex’s parents, was feeling a hundred kinds of reluctance.

Upon hearing the other side senselessly cursing his woman, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

His anger finally found a vent.

“Oh my, which family is this, reeking so much!

No wonder no one visits!

Look, just look, don’t know if they had a death or mold, but it’s such a stink!

No, I must report to the officials, have the lord send someone to look.

Could be that the old man in this house was washed away by the rain!

Hmm, maybe also crushed by the falling house!

Heaven surely has eyes, the more wicked the heart, the less it can stand to watch!

No wonder their house collapses and people die, they had it coming!”

In the courtyard, Old Man Chen, upon being scolded by Xia Zheng, knew his house’s collapse had nothing to do with Lin Yuan, yet he couldn’t swallow his anger.

Plainly put, he was envious that Little Disaster Star, who once fawned over him, was now living a good life, building houses and setting up shops, while his own son, Da Zhuzi, had left for so long without any news.
