Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

104 Thrown to the Back of the Mountain

“Fourth Uncle Lin?” Lin Xiaoyue saw the thief’s face under the moonlight.

When Li Xiao heard Lin Xiaoyue calling him uncle, his hand on his neck loosened a little.

“Yes, I’m her uncle. Save me!” Fourth Uncle Lin didn’t care if Lin Xiaoyue found out.

This person wanted to kill him. If he fell into Lin Xiaoyue’s hands, at least he would not die.

He was regretting it now.

He shouldn’t have listened to his second sister-in-law. She said that as his younger brother, he could marry his sister-in-law. Now, not only did he not get the person and money, but he also suffered such a big loss.

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

“How did you catch him?” As she walked towards the two of them, he asked Li Xiao.

“I found him sneakily rummaging through the house over there, and then he came to the shed.” Li Shao said.

“No! I… I couldn’t sleep, so I came to visit you.”

Feeling the grip on his neck tighten, he shivered again. “I’m sorry! I won’t do it again. I won’t dare to come here again. Let me go this time, okay?” He quickly begged Lin Xiaoyue for mercy.

He had no choice, he was a coward.

The slave that the Liu family bought was too scary. He seemed vicious enough to kill him.

This wretched girl was also a ruthless person.

The entire Lin family had suffered at her hands. This time, he was caught red-handed in the middle of the night. If she were to shout, the entire village would probably know that he was a thief.

If she wanted to, she would have sent him to court.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with disgust.

“Hmph, it seems like you turned a deaf ear to my previous agreement with your father?” Lin Xiaoyue looked at her uncle coldly.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s heart trembled.

Then, she looked at Li Xiao, “I don’t think I’m going to disturb everyone at this hour. Can you tie him up, and throw him into the mountains?”

“I saw a few wild wolves at the back of the mountain. Let’s see if they will eat him.” Her expression was calm, as if she was talking about the weather.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s heart turned cold. He couldn’t care less about being discovered and opened his mouth to call for help.

However, before he could make a sound, he was knocked out by Li Xiao.

Lin Xiaoyue gave Li Xiao an appreciative smile.

“My fourth uncle has always been a brainless person. I don’t know if he came here on his own or if he was ordered to.”

“Reporting to the authorities is too much trouble. It’s not good for our family’s reputation. We can only give him a small punishment.”

Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

He wasn’t sure if there were wolves in the mountains, but there were definitely fierce beasts. Is this a “small punishment”?

Lin Xiaoyue smiled at Li Xiao. “I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip. Just tie him up and throw him to the back mountain.”

Most of the fierce beasts were in the deep mountains, and the back mountains were not so dangerous. When he woke up, he probably wouldn’t dare to provoke their family again.

Of course, if his luck was really bad and the heavens wanted to take him away, then he could not blame her.

She wasn’t alone anymore. Li Xiao was by her side. Even if she really killed Fourth Uncle Lin, she wouldn’t be that worried.

“Yes.” Li Xiao responded and then went to find a straw rope.

Efficient and decisive, this girl was more interesting than he thought.

After Li Xiao left with Fourth Uncle Lin, Lin Xiaoyue returned to the shed to rest.

At this time, Liu Shi and Lin Xiaozhi were still sleeping sweetly and had no idea what was happening outside.

Lin Xiaoyue went to bed and continued to sleep.

They were only woken up by the heavy rain when it was almost dawn.
