My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

Squeak~~

Sure enough, a short while later, the door next to it was pushed open a crack, and then Little Jinbao peeked in.

His shifty-eyed appearance was indeed not for nothing; the first thing he noticed upon entering was the "envelope" on the kang table.

The thought of what his grandmother had told him made Jinbao's heart pound with excitement. He jumped up, grabbed the envelope, stuffed it into his pocket, and ran out.

"Thief!!!!"

Jinbao had just stepped out the door when a deafening roar suddenly exploded in his ears!

Jinbao's heart was pounding the whole time. He was startled by the sudden sound, then cried out in surprise and jumped up.

Immediately, Lin Chuan, like a cheetah, grabbed Jin Bao by the back of the neck.

Jinbao was so frightened that he let out a scream, felt a heat in his crotch, and then wet his pants.

"You little thief! You even dared to steal remittance slips from military dependents?! Come on, let's go to the brigade headquarters to see the secretary! I'm going to give you a good dressing down!"

Lin Chuan didn't give Jinbao a chance to struggle at all. He picked up the terrified Jinbao like a chick and strode towards the Linhe Brigade!

Although Jinbao couldn't understand other languages, he had heard of things like criticism and struggle sessions.

In particular, whenever there was a public denunciation or struggle session in the village, or when his mother was drowned in a pig cage, he would take him to watch the spectacle.

Hearing Lin Chuan say those words, his chubby little face turned deathly pale with fright!

"Waaaaah... I don't want to! Waaaaah, I was wrong! Waaaaah... Grandma... Dad! Mom! Waaaaah, save me... Waaaaah..."

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the most important day for the Linhe Brigade.

The day when the whole village calculates work points and distributes year-end bonuses.

At the threshing ground in front of the brigade, almost all of the hundreds of men, women, and children from the village had arrived, and they were all shivering from the cold, their sleeves tucked in and their feet stamping.

But their eyes were fixed intently on the pile of banknotes and several granaries of coarse grain on the brigade headquarters table.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tiezhu, the brigade secretary, was standing in front of the table, holding a large megaphone, preparing to test his voice.

Just then, Lin Chuan, carrying the wailing Jinbao, squeezed through the crowd.

"Secretary Zhao! You have to stand up for us military families!"

Lin Chuan rushed up to Zhao Tiezhu with a look of grief and indignation, and then swiftly snatched the microphone from Zhao Tiezhu's hand, which was still on.

His voice immediately resounded like thunder throughout the threshing ground through the loudspeaker.

"Secretary! You have no idea! My mother kindly took in that old woman and her grandson from her family who had fled famine, and gave them a meal! Who knew that this old woman was so heartless? While my mother was at a meeting, she actually instructed her eight-year-old grandson to go into the house and steal the fifty-yuan remittance slip that my second and fifth sisters had risked their lives in the army!"

Lin Chuan is a good actor; he spoke with great emotion, and even choked up a couple of times.

As expected, this statement caused an uproar throughout the room!

In this day and age, stealing is an extremely heinous crime!

What's more, it was money stolen from military dependents!

This is practically equivalent to digging up the ancestral graves of the entire village!

"Bullshit! I didn't steal it! I didn't steal the remittance slip!"

Jinbao burst into tears, struggling as he pulled the yellow envelope from his pocket.

"Waaaaah...! My grandma said this is money! I took money! Waaaaah! Grandma, help me! Waaaaah!"

Although he doesn't admit it, this stark truth has already confirmed the crimes committed by the grandmother and granddaughter!

Zhao Tiezhu, standing to the side, snatched the envelope with a sullen face, opened it, and immediately turned green with anger.

"You little rascal, this isn't a remittance slip at all, it's clearly just a piece of scrap paper from a child's arithmetic exercise!"

Zhao Tiezhu slammed the waste paper onto Jinbao's face and turned to roar into the microphone.

"Where is that old woman from Guan Hongying's family?! She's vicious and malicious, instigating her own grandson to steal money from military dependents! She's utterly corrupting the morals of our Linhe Brigade! From now on, no one is allowed to lend her a single grain of rice!"

"Exactly! These old fogies are shameless!"

"Bah! How could Guan Hongying, such a good person, have such a vicious mother!"

"I think that old woman is a scoundrel. If she ever dares to go out again, I'll spit on her every time I see her!"

The villagers' angry curses rose like a tidal wave.

The old lady, living far away in the Guan family's mud-brick house, was still dreaming of getting rich.

She was old and hard of hearing, and since she had been huddled in bed the whole time, she didn't hear her beloved grandson crying out in fright!

But when she heard Lin Chuan's voice coming from the village loudspeaker outside, along with the sound of her beloved grandson crying, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

My head, which was already a bit sore, started to ache even more now.

Then Zhao Tiezhu's roar suddenly came from the loudspeaker, which startled her so much that she trembled all over and rolled off the bed onto the cold mud floor.

Hearing Lin Chuan's tearful accusations over the loudspeaker, and the deafening curses from the entire village, the old woman felt her vision blurring.

Then a sound came to my mind.

It's over! It's completely over!

She failed to steal a chicken and ended up stealing a piece of waste paper instead!

Now, not only have they failed to make any money, they've also earned the infamy of stealing life-saving funds meant for military families!

Lin Chuan deliberately set a trap, using a loudspeaker in front of the entire village to completely humiliate her!

Now it's all good!

She hasn't even managed to ruin Guan Hongying's reputation yet, but her own reputation has been ruined instead!

Not only that, everyone in Linhe Brigade knows about this now, so it's only a matter of time before their village finds out too!

Thinking of this, the old woman's chest heaved violently with anger, and then she felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of bitter water with a "whoosh".

Then his eyes rolled back, and he fainted straight in a puddle of muddy water.

From this day forward, her reputation is completely ruined!

Especially regarding the theft of military dependents' remittance slips, if she can't prove it, she can forget about having any reputation in the future!

From now on, let alone coveting the Guan family's house, even going to the outhouse will likely result in the village boys throwing cow dung at you!

Meanwhile, on the threshing ground, Lin Chuan, seeing that he had gained an advantage, quietly retreated to the side of Guan Hongying and Daya and Siya, who had come to collect their gifts, concealing his merit and fame.

Clearly, neither Guan Hongying nor Daya and Siya expected that Lin Chuan had this trick up his sleeve!

They didn't react when Lin Chuan brought Jinbao over.

After they realized what had happened, the smile on their lips never faded.

Especially Guan Siya!

At this moment, the way she looked at Lin Chuan was full of admiration!

The way he looked at it was like he was looking at his idol!

Upon seeing Lin Chuan approach, she quickly gave him a thumbs up!

"Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan! Where do you get all these ideas from? Can you teach me?"

She quickly stepped forward and then asked in a low voice.
