Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 323 Ancient Eldest Sister 2

Old Man Lin dared not eat or drink. He had spent half his life bullying his children and selling them. The little money he had saved had long been swindled away by his nephew.

Look at it this way.

There's absolutely no turning back now.

Having made up his mind, Old Man Lin searched everywhere for matchmakers, just to find a "good" place for his silly granddaughter.

He'll be able to collect more pension money then.

Old Man Lin was very adept at selling children.

Logically speaking.

A suitable family that is willing to spend the money has been found.

Lin Daya should be waiting at Old Lin's house for the matchmaker to come and take her away.

But for the sake of his own and his eldest grandson's reputation, Old Man Lin dared not do it, nor could he do it.

After all, it wasn't a proper marriage.

My granddaughter can work as a farmhand or as a child bride.

These are things that the villagers shouldn't know.

At least not now.

Old Man Lin pleaded with his adopted son, offering his eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Daya, to accompany him to the matchmaker's house in exchange for his deceased wife's belongings.

The eldest daughter-in-law reluctantly agreed to the matter for the sake of her eldest son.

She truly didn't want to be the bad guy.

This is entirely Old Man Lin's own problem. He can't handle a small matter properly, which not only affects his son, but he also keeps passing the buck. He doesn't act like a person in charge at all.

The original owner went out with this aunt whom he was not very familiar with.

Upon hearing the other person mention that their parents were dead, they flew into a rage, beat the person black and blue, and then fled.

The original owner ran around in a roundabout way.

They quickly got lost.

He tried to return the way he came, but he kept going astray until he accidentally entered the deep mountains and was hit and killed by a wild boar.

Once she arrived in the system space, she didn't realize what was happening.

Daidai served as an assistant to the eight-year-old elementary school student's soul for a long time before remembering to ask the person who commissioned the task to take away his younger siblings.

"Be good to your mistresses."

These were her parents' last words to her.

The original owner's mind couldn't process so many things. Before, she followed her parents and grandmother, but now that they're gone, she has to follow her second and third children.

I failed to keep my promise to my parents.

The original owner was in a low mood.

They neither want to be reincarnated nor enjoy leisure activities.

She followed the elementary school student step by step, until the student begged for mercy and dumped her on the system to reincarnate.

Lin Daya pretended not to know that the original owner was flying in the system space.

He used an old dagger he "picked up" from the stream to shave Lin Xiaoer and Lin Xiaosan's heads.

You have to shave it!

All three of them had lice on their heads, so many that they could easily make a soup.

Tongzi was disgusted by her inner thoughts.

"Can you please stop this, Pingbao? If you really want to drink lice soup, you can have the animals in your space raise some for you... or if you want to eat cockroaches, locusts, giant snails, or large whelks, you can raise those too..."

...

The banyan sapling acts without speaking.

They pushed the old man, who was like a dead dog, to kneel in front of the door.

After Old Man Lin knelt down, he saw a hallucination: his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, all floating over with their hands hanging down and heads tilted.

Behind the three ghosts were the original owner's two aunts.

"Ah! A ghost! I was wrong! I shouldn't have sold my daughter! I shouldn't have hit him! Son, I'm so sorry, please forgive me this time!"

"Old woman, take the children downstairs. We've been husband and wife for so long, cough cough cough, I know I was wrong, I'll tell my nephew to go back right away."

"I'll return the dowry money to my granddaughter right now..."

"Why don't you go scare the third son's grandson and get my secret stash of money back?"

Old Man Lin was already weak from bleeding so much.

Startled repeatedly, she trembled violently again and boldly voiced her thoughts.

The villagers of Shangyao Village gathered around to see what was so unusual.

Thinking of Lin Daya and her younger siblings going up the mountain, my feelings became inexplicably complicated.

"What's wrong with this old man Lin? He doesn't care about his own grandson but wants to support his brother's grandson."

"Adopting her? With a capable child like Daya, she could stay at home and work for the rest of her life..."

"Hehe, he's a complete idiot. His brother and sister-in-law aren't any better. We don't understand these things, so we'll just keep our distance."

An old man with the best eyesight in the village couldn't help but reminisce about the past.

"Old Lin's two nephews got married entirely thanks to Old Lin selling his daughters..."

"And they were all sold deep in the mountains. As for whether they were sold to one person or to a family, that's hard to say."

"But Old Lin is proud, so he always said that she was marrying far away."

"Old Lin was always fooled by his third son since he was a child, and even after he got married..."

This was accompanied by Old Lin's dry howling.

Everyone listened with great interest to his family story.

Xiao Yi would occasionally create some sound effects and cheers to support the old man.

Actually.

Old Zhang, who was particular about Old Man Lin, had long since stopped talking.

His mouth was extremely dry, but for some reason, his mind was filled with endless stories of Old Man Lin, as if he couldn't go on living without telling them.

Could... something really be wrong? That can't be!

Seeing that things were not going well, Old Man Lin's new son and grandson had no choice but to shamelessly show up and carry the person.

In case Old Man Lin really brings back bad luck.

This would also prevent the child's reputation from being ruined by him.

Without calling him "Dad" once, the two brothers, one pulling his head and the other clamping his legs, dragged Old Man Lin through the door.

...

The courtyard door slammed shut.

Oh my.

It opened a little bit.

It turns out there was no bolt on the door.

Old Zhang then mentioned the whereabouts of the Lin family's door bolt, saying that all three of Old Man Lin's bloodlines had gone into the mountains to be eaten by wolves.

The top of the moon.

When Zhang Tongsheng and his son returned to the village, they noticed that his father, Old Man Zhang, was unusually silent and did not speak ill of others.

Zhang Tongsheng looked at his mother curiously.

I received the news that my father's voice had gone hoarse and wouldn't be back anytime soon.

"Pfft, no, I mean, Father, why don't you come with me to see a doctor tomorrow?"

Old Zhang, with a somber expression, shook his head violently.

The eldest son's suggestion was rejected.

Zhang Tongsheng's mother chimed in from the side.

"It's good to not talk. Less water, less bathroom breaks, saves so much trouble. Honey, don't you think so..."

Old Zhang has been taking the title of head of the household for nothing.

He nodded slowly under his wife's gaze.

He just doesn't want to see a doctor and doesn't want to drink less water. In this sweltering heat, does the old woman want to die of thirst?

It's all Old Man Lin's fault!

If it weren't for his business, would I have ended up hitting that thing?

Old Zhang was afraid his family would worry.

However, he didn't mention that his hoarse voice was related to the deceased in Old Man Lin's family.

The old man was telling the truth.

Ghosts and spirits certainly wouldn't come looking for him, and Old Man Lin's nephew wouldn't dare to come either.

Unlike the strange atmosphere of Shangyao Village.

Lin Daya, Lin Xiaoer, and Lin Xiaosan, three bald men, huddled together to look at the moon.

Before dark.

The three of them rarely had a full meal.

Lin Daya released fish and shrimp into the stream, and there were also wild eggs she had put out nearby. It should be enough to keep them occupied for a few days.

When the original owner's parents were alive.

This family of three even came up the mountain to look for rabbits.

However, this family wasn't very bold; they dried the rabbit meat and ate it themselves, and they also tried their best to process and hide the rabbit skin.

"Sir, are they really that bold? They don't dare leave the village to trade rabbits, but they dare go up the mountain..."

"Honey, have you forgotten that when people are starving, they'll eat anything, and their courage will also increase accordingly?"
