When they came out again, Gu Jingyan was holding the child. Lin Yue'e came out and carried the things he had brought back into the living room.

"No need to move them, they're all going to be given away. What's the point of moving them back?"

Seeing that Lin Yue'e still didn't understand why he had bought these things, Gu Jingyan explained:

"Didn't you say you wanted to thank everyone for their help? Now's the time to thank them, because who knows when you'll be back again."

"Oh, so that's why you bought all this. We're leaving soon. Oh, it's for gifts. That's fine."

Lin Yue'e thought that these things were still quite good now, and everyone still cherished them, especially those with children. Kids these days are so pitiful; a single piece of candy makes them incredibly happy. Unlike later, when everyone will have to control their sugar intake.

I don't care about anything. Eating too much will make you sick.

"Let's go. We'll deliver everything today, and we have to leave tomorrow morning. When we get back, pack your things properly. Just bring your and the kids' clothes and other necessities; don't take anything else. We can buy them again when we get to the provincial capital."

There's nothing we can do about it. Transportation is inconvenient these days, and the two of them have to take care of their child, so they can only bring a limited amount of things.

"Alright, let's go to Grandma Wang's place across the street first."

The two were decisive and acted immediately, so they grabbed two items and headed to the other side.

After giving gifts to everyone Lin Yue'e had written down to thank, it was already dark.

Gu Jingyan and the others learned about what happened at the Lin family's house that morning through their conversation.

"Something's happened to the Lin family again. How strange. I heard they said the house is full of excrement. Is that true? Couldn't Zhang Guifen and the others hear anything? Are they sleeping so soundly?" Gu Jingyan couldn't understand.

"Who knows?"

Lin Yue'e thought to herself, "I descended from space, how could I possibly hear that?"

"They said they've already contacted the police, but we don't know if they'll be able to find out who did it."

Lin Yue'e was all smiles. It would be a miracle if they could even find out; the things that went missing at Li Chunlan's wedding still haven't been found.

The two were unaware that the Lin family had placed all their hopes on them.

They were just waiting for the two of them to leave so they could come and stay at their house.

"It's getting dark, Mom. What are we going to do tonight? The house smells terrible. I can't stay here any longer."

Lin Jinbao and his mother stood at their own front door. Looking at their home, they wanted to go back, yet were also afraid to.

"Didn't you say you had already made arrangements with Lin Yue'e? I just saw Gu Jingyan come back. They're leaving tomorrow, so let's stay there tomorrow."

Zhang Guifen had heard about this from her son yesterday. But now that Gu Jingyan is back, they can't go over there. Actually, if Gu Jingyan hadn't come back today, Zhang Guifen would definitely have stayed at Lin Yue'e's place.

The house is in such a state that it's impossible to live there.

"Dad went to town to find the police. Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Lin Xiangqian had originally planned to go to the police station earlier today, but Lin Xiangyang persuaded him against it. Lin Xiangyang said that the excrement was all good stuff, and nothing of value was stolen from the house, so he shouldn't bother the police. There was no need.

Lin Xiangqian initially thought so too, but the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Even with his own family in such a state, his older brother was telling him not to make a scene, and remembering the veiled meaning in Yao Rong's words earlier, he finally headed to town. Just as he was about to leave, he was surprised to find that Zhang Guifen also didn't want him to go.

He shoved Zhang Guifen to the ground. Seeing her panicked eyes, Lin Xiangqian became even more determined to find the police. He didn't know what Zhang Guifen was hiding.

But he felt that as long as the police were brought in, they would surely find out something.

As it was getting dark, Uncle Hats was taken home by Lin Xiangqian.

Uncle Hat came to Lin Xiangqian's house again, completely exhausted. The last case hadn't been solved, and now another strange case had emerged.

"Are you sure you were asleep in the house in the middle of the night when someone suddenly piled so much excrement in the room and you didn't notice? And when you did notice, there was already this much?"

After checking the doors and windows, Uncle Hat looked at me with a "you guys are joking with me" expression.

Another person who came from the kitchen also asked:

"Your kitchen door is gone. Was it there before, or was it never there? Have you been putting manure in that house all along? That's not even a kitchen."

"No, really no, how could we possibly put this thing in the kitchen?"

Lin Xiangqian didn't know what to say.

"No, but we checked, there wasn't a trace. If you wanted to get so much excrement into the house, there should be some residue on the ground, no matter what you did. Besides, the door to the room where you slept was tightly closed, and we can't open it now; it's completely blocked by excrement. How could it have been dumped in from the outside? The window couldn't have fallen down either; there's a cabinet in front of the window. Why do these strange things keep happening in your house?"

Uncle Hat scratched his head, unable to figure out what was going on, but finally concluded that the family was sick and had put excrement in their house.

"We really didn't! You can ask the villagers. We were woken up by the smell in the middle of the night. It wasn't like this before. It was fine last night, but it started like this when we woke up in the middle of the night," Lin Xiangqian cried out, vehemently accusing himself.

"Yes, comrade, we only discovered it in the middle of the night. Our house was fine yesterday. Oh, and the back door of our house is gone last night, as are the three chickens in the backyard. The person must have come in through the back door."

"Oh, then let's go check the back and see if there are any other clues. If you find any, tell us now. Don't hide anything from us."

"Yes, last night, my older brother and a woman from the village named Yao Rong were both splashed with excrement. I initially suspected they were the ones who did it, but thinking about it, even if they were, it's impossible for them to get excrement into our house without making a sound."

It would have been better if they hadn't investigated. After Uncle Hat came to the door and asked Lin Xiangyang about what happened yesterday, he quickly found the spot in the backyard where they had been doused with manure. The two of them had been behind the haystack. He also found the dirty clothes that Lin Xiangyang had thrown away.

Lin Xiangyang only said that he got up to use the outhouse last night, without mentioning why he ended up at the haystack.

"Comrade, I'm reporting Lin Xiangyang. He's not a decent man. He's having an affair with Yao Fang. The two of them were together in this place in the middle of the night. Only a fool would know what they're up to."

Zhou Huiru was so angry that she cursed loudly. She had been angry all day. She hadn't even cooked or eaten, and her mind was filled with thoughts of how this incident might affect her son.

She's not bad, she's already quite old, and her son finally got a job in the provincial capital. If he knew about this kind of thing happening at home, he would be completely humiliated.

"That's not true, it's all a coincidence. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."
