Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Thrown Towards the Scorching Hot Barrel Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Thrown Towards the Scorching Hot Barrel However, the man beside her didn’t move after hearing her words, he coldly glanced at Ban Yilu.
“What are you waiting for, hurry up!”
Seeing the man not reacting, the woman got anxious and urged him again.
The man grumpily growled at her.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Caisang looked at the man’s face and immediately understood why he wasn’t reacting. He was from the old house’s side, and used to have a good relationship with Ya Molian.
However, after he got married, his wife kept a strict eye on him, preventing him from going out whenever Ya Molian needed his help for something with any excuse she could find.
Over time, their relationship soured, and the interactions between them became infrequent.
Looking at the woman’s behavior, Lin Caisang chuckled. They always come up with excuses whenever she needed their help. Yet now, when there’s a chance to benefit from the situation, they come running. Was it that easy to have such a good fortune?
“Oh, the water’s boiling, Girl Caisang, bring over that big bucket from over there. This wild boar is too big, one pot of water definitely won’t be enough, we need two pots.”
As Lin Caisang was deep in her thoughts, the woman named Beidou, who was tending to the stove, called out to her.
She blinked and noticed a big wooden bucket at her feet. The woman, hearing the voice of Beidou, had a gleam in her eyes and was about to rush over to grab it.
However, she was a moment too late. Lin Caisang had already taken the bucket.
The woman sucked in a breath, glaring at Lin Caisang as if Lin Caisang had stolen a piece of her meat.
Of course, Lin Caisang felt the woman’s glaring eyes, yet she still walked towards Beidou as if nothing had happened.
“Sister-in-law Beidou, Sister-in-law Nangong.”
Placing the bucket by the stove, Lin Caisang greeted them with a smile.
Soon, all three women started chatting and got busy with their work. Seeing this, the woman felt a twitch in her eye corner and cursed Lin Caisang in her heart a million times, even imagining eating her alive.
This Lin Caisang, riding on her so-called lucky star reputation, had given her enough trouble. The place where she was now should have been hers, it should be hers!
It should have been her laughing and chatting with Beidou and Nangong Piao’er. When did it become Lin Caisang’s turn?
With a hateful stare at Lin Caisang, her anger swelled as she thought about it. She forcefully removed her husband’s hand that was holding her back, and stormed off towards Lin Caisang.
“Caisang, come over here, the water in the bucket is hot, be careful do not let the hot… Ah!”
Before Beidou could finish her words, she watched as the woman charged towards Lin Caisang, put all her strength into ramming into her, and even forcefully shoved her as well.
Lin Caisang didn’t expect the woman to act so crazily. By the time she reacted, she was already falling towards the scalding wooden bucket.
Nangong Piao’er screamed, the firewood in her hand flying out unconsciously. Upon hearing the scream, everyone looked over, shocked by the scene and forgetting to react.
A scream sounded, just when the situation was critical, Ya Molian’s figure flashed past, he grabbed Lin Caisang’s hand and swiftly pulled her into his arms, narrowly avoiding the scalding bucket.
Even though Lin Caisang was usually calm, her face turned as white as paper at this moment, her eyes tightly closed without daring to look. She couldn’t imagine what the scene would’ve been like if she had really fallen into that boiling water.
