My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

These past few days, Su Wanning has been keeping an eye on Lin Jiabao.

He was spotted by the children as soon as he entered the city today, and then he was seen sneaking around the shop, which meant he was up to no good.

In that case, shouldn't she send someone to give him a proper welcome?

"Alright, let's not think about it anymore. Luckily, we've all eaten, otherwise we would have ruined his good mood."

Meng Lingwan came over and took Su Wanning's hand. "Since you call me 'Auntie,' remember to tell me immediately no matter what happens. And no matter what happens, know that we're here for you! Don't be afraid!"

"Yeah, I'll get someone to deal with that brat later!"

Mu Xun was also worried that she would be affected.

Su Wanning shook her head. "It's okay. I've already moved out of the Lin family. They are still my aunt and uncle, after all. I won't ignore them if something happens, but they've gone too far, and I won't tolerate it forever."

Having made her stance clear, she can't be blamed for anything that happens later.

Everyone agreed, and they called their maids to join in the fun, and after they had eaten their fill, they tidied up the courtyard.

Su Wanning had also spoken with Meng Lingshu in detail.

Meng Lingshu was in much better condition than Mu Xun, so the two of them tentatively agreed to a ten-day course of medicinal diet therapy, and would see how her condition improved after that.

It is estimated that once the problem of the displaced people is solved, Meng Lingshu's appetite will naturally return.

Meng Lingshu then bid farewell to Mu Xun and his wife.

Xie Yan wanted to sleep with Su Wan Ning, but also wanted to go back and check if Zhou Man Shan was dead. After hesitating for a long time, he left anyway.

In the end, only Xu Lingxi remained.

Su Wan Ning looked at her with a smile, "You've been holding it in all night, what secret do you want to tell me?"

"I……"

Xu Lingxi took a deep breath.

She's the kind of person who can't keep things bottled up, and after agonizing over it for a few days, she finally decided to ask, "Lin Jiabao just said that you were treated like a monster when you were little, was it because you were strong?"

Su Wan Ning's smile gradually faded.

She was two years old that year. She followed her parents on a mountain path to visit her aunt, and somehow she fainted.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

My parents were covered in blood and I couldn't wake them up no matter how I called them.

She tried to carry her father on her back, but she was too short, so she carried him on her shoulders while half of his body slid to the ground.

She hugged her mother's waist; her mother's hair brushed against the grass, making a rustling sound, and her mother's shoes dragged along the grass, making a rustling sound as well.

It's as if she's saying, "Don't be afraid, Wan Ning, Mom will sing for you."

It was pitch black.

How could I not be afraid?

She was too weak; her father kept falling, and her legs went weak, causing her to fall again and again.

Blood dripped from Dad's face down his neck.

It's so cold, the wind feels like knives.

Fortunately, she knew her aunt's family, and finally, before dawn, she brought her parents to her aunt's house.

She said, "Uncle and Aunt, my parents and I have come to see you."

My uncle fainted.

Her aunt pulled her inside, her legs and hands trembling violently.

"Your parents are dead! You jinx!"

"You dragged someone to my house... Fine, don't tell anyone else, it's a secret! Also, your strength is terrifying, you can't tell anyone either! Otherwise, you'll be arrested and beaten to death!"

Many things happened afterward, and she dared not say that she was strong.

She didn't understand how her parents died. She seemed to have forgotten many things, but Li Shi should remember them very clearly. It seemed she had to find an opportunity to ask Li Shi as soon as possible.

"Yes, I've always been very strong."

Su Wan Ning looked at her with a smile, but there was no real smile in her eyes.

Xu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wan Ning didn't deny it, which meant that she was trustworthy!

She chuckled, pointed at the well, and made a shushing gesture with her hand to her lips.

"I've taken care of it, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Su Wanning wasn't afraid of the body being discovered; she had already planned her next move. But now, Xu Lingxi was actually cleaning up the mess for her?

This young lady, is she going to cover for her, a murderer?

Why?

"Maybe it's because I have a sweet tooth!"

Xu Lingxi turned and went into her room. "I'll sleep here tonight! Qingfang, go keep Xiao Sutang company! Xuancao, don't hide anymore, come down for dinner!"

"Yes."

Xuancao jumped down from the tree.

Su Wanning lowered her head and smiled; this reason was indeed very believable.

Looks like I need to think of a way to make preserved eggs.

Century egg and lean pork congee, let's make it!

"Sister, what's this? It smells so good!"

No one who came today came empty-handed. Su Tang was putting the things away one by one when she suddenly smelled a fragrance.

Su Wan Ning went over to take a look and found it was a ham. "Who sent this?"

"It's Uncle Mu!"

Seeing her strange expression, Su Tang was a little confused. "What's wrong? It looks pretty delicious. Is it spoiled or poisonous?"

Speaking of the latter possibility, he was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Su Wanning patted her on the head, "Don't think nonsense, go and call your sister Xu out."

"What's wrong?"

Xu Lingxi came out quickly.

"Look, these three places."

Su Wanning pointed to the ham hock, shoulder blade, and hoof bend, "Li."

It was a brand. Although a piece of the skin had been deliberately scraped off, the mark could still be vaguely recognized as "Li"!

"This is my family's ham! How did it end up here?"

Xu Lingxi also realized the problem.

The ham sold by the Li family, in addition to these three brand marks, would also have a workshop mark, but there is no workshop mark on this one, which means that this ham is for their own consumption.

How did it end up outside the shop?

"Uncle Mu brought this today; we'll go ask him about it tomorrow."

Su Wanning also thought of another possibility: Lin Mao was beaten because of inadequate supervision.

She noticed something was wrong with the hams, not just because they were moldy, but because the nineteen slightly moldy ones had been deliberately coated with acidic liquid to disguise the problem.

She had just returned then, and was unsure about the relationship between the Li family and Xu Lingxi, and did not want to get involved in the Li family's troubles, so she did not expose it on the spot.

But now, this ham has actually been delivered to her shop, and Xu Lingxi happens to be there. If she continues to hide it, the meaning will change.

Moreover, Xu Lingxi seems to genuinely consider her a friend...

Su Wanning brought it up herself, "Do you remember when my uncle got beaten up? Actually, I was wondering about something at the time. I had suggested a better solution, and those hams could have been put to good use, but the manager refused and insisted on destroying them."

"Yes, if I didn't know these things, I would have thought that the manager was just being cautious."

Xu Lingxi wasn't stupid; she already had a guess in her mind.

The two went to Mu Xun's house the next day and kept saying how delicious the ham was, which made Mu Xun very proud.

But the ham was a gift from someone else, and he needed to find out exactly where it came from, so Mu Xun went out again.

After visiting two more stores, I finally learned that the ham was a gift from the owner of a dried goods store.

And that shop was the one Lin Jiabao frequented!
