Lin Xiao was startled when he heard this, and his mind was racing.
If he takes the aunt's advice, wouldn't he be falling into a trap if she is deceiving him?
Make one now?
Definitely not!
There is no relevant knowledge in her memory at all, so it will be easy for her to reveal her secrets. It will be even harder to justify herself when the time comes!
At this moment, Lin Xiao was caught in a dilemma. No matter what choice he made, it was always a dead end.
Seeing that Lin Xiao could not answer the widow's words, Lin Da smiled proudly and said:
"Mom, look, I didn't lie to you, this kid is just lying to you!"
The widowed aunt looked at Lin Xiao beside her and already believed some of Lin Da's words.
At this time, Lin Xiao suddenly said:
"Brother Lin, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever lie to my aunt?"
"You still say no? Okay, then tell me, which master said that my mother can't have a grandson?"
Lin Da asked aggressively.
His eyes were staring straight at Lin Xiao, as if to say that if you don't tell the truth, you won't be able to leave through this door today.
Lin Xiao sighed and pretended:
"Brother Lin, please don't force me. What I can tell you is that I didn't lie."
"If you don't say which master said it, you are lying!"
Lin Da firmly refused to comply.
"No, I can't say that. Such words will ruin the reputation of Sister-in-law Xi'er!"
Lin Xiaoyi said righteously.
"Humph! Stop using this rhetoric to excuse us! Do you think we are three-year-old children?"
Lin Da mocked.
"I...Oh!" Lin Xiao sighed heavily and covered his head in pain, "Stop forcing me! Stop forcing me!"
Lin Da wanted to continue questioning, but his widowed aunt stopped him:
"The water tank in the kitchen is out of water. Go get some water and bring it back."
"Mom! This kid...oh, I'm going right now!"
Lin Da originally wanted to force Lin Xiao again, but seeing that his widowed aunt was unwilling to listen to him anymore, he had no choice but to agree.
Before leaving, he glared at Lin Xiao fiercely, then picked up the pole and two buckets placed in the corner of the courtyard and left.
Looking at Lin Da's leaving figure, the widowed aunt's expression finally softened a lot, and she said softly to Lin Xiao:
"Xiao Linzi, there is no one else around now. Tell Auntie, what exactly did the master say to you?"
Lin Xiao pretended to be embarrassed and glanced at her widowed aunt. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said with a brave face:
"Okay, then I will only tell Auntie you. However, we have agreed in advance that for the sake of Sister-in-law Xier's reputation, you cannot tell anyone else."
Seeing Lin Xiao's serious look, which didn't look like he was pretending, the widow's aunt's curiosity was completely aroused, and she urged:
"Okay, okay, Auntie is willing to obey you, just hurry up and say it!"
Seeing that the widow's aunt had taken the bait, Lin Xiao showed an imperceptible smile, then looked at the widow with a serious look and said:
"Then I'll keep the story short."
"Well, okay! If you tell me, my aunt will listen carefully."
When she heard that Lin Xiao was coming to speak, the widow quickly put on a posture of listening.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and slowly said:
"In the past two days since I came back from the capital, I have actually been looking for someone who can settle the accounts in the capital for me. Then, I fell in love with your wife, Xier's sister-in-law."
"But in this business, the most important thing is to get together, so I went to town with Sister-in-law Xi'er's birthday and horoscope."
"But who knew that there were no masters in the town at all, so I had no choice but to go back in despair. What a coincidence. Guess who I met on the way back?"
Lin Xiao pretended to be mysterious and looked at her widowed aunt.
"Who?"
The widowed aunt asked impatiently.
"I met Uncle Ying!"
"Uncle Ying? Who is that?"
The widowed aunt asked in confusion.
Lin Xiao said with disdain:
"You don't even know who Uncle Ying is, then you are too ignorant!"
The widowed aunt smiled awkwardly and said:
"Xiao Linzi, stop being so secretive and say it quickly. Say it quickly."
"Okay, okay, this Uncle Ying is a very powerful person. Not only can he defeat demons and monsters with one hand, he also has a lot of research on numerology and other metaphysics."
"He told me that Xi'er's sister-in-law is dependent on Kewang!"
The widowed aunt was stunned when she heard this, and then said in confusion:
"Ke Wang depends on each other? What kind of fate is this? I have only heard of the fate of prosperous husband and the fate of Ke Fu."
"Kewang Xianyi is much rarer than what you said, aunt. I heard that only one in ten thousand people can meet like that."
Lin Xiao said mysteriously.
"According to your opinion, that cheap hoof is a lucky star?"
The widowed aunt's face was full of disdain.
She originally wanted to hear bad things about Han Xi'er from Lin Xiao's mouth, but she didn't expect that this cheap and unattractive daughter-in-law turned out to be a lucky star.
This made the widowed aunt who didn't like Han Xier even more tired of her.
Seeing the expression on her widowed aunt's face, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. It seemed that her strategy worked!
She decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Sister-in-law Xi'er's destiny, how should I put it, is a prosperous destiny for her husband, but it is a disaster for her parents-in-law."
Lin Xiao pretended to look at the widow deeply.
"What do you mean by that?"
The widowed aunt frowned, looking confused.
"The meaning is very simple. Sister-in-law Xi'er must marry a man without a father or mother, so that her good fortune can be revealed."
"No father or mother?" The widowed aunt's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Xiao nodded: "Well, yes."
"What if not?"
"If Xi'er's sister-in-law marries a family with both parents, or a father but no mother, or a mother but no father, it will bring bad luck to her husband's family. At the least, they will lose their relationship, and at worst, the family will be destroyed!"
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Lin Xiaohu rushed in from the door:
"It's not good, auntie, Brother Lin, he, he, he fell into the well!"
"What?!"
The widowed aunt suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted!
Lin Xiao quickly supported her with quick eyesight and hands.
"Hurry, save people!" the widowed aunt said in a panic.
"Auntie, don't worry. We got rescued. She choked on a lot of water. Fortunately, her life is not in danger."
Lin Xiaohu said while wiping his sweat.
"Oh, no, no, I have to go and see for myself, otherwise, I won't worry!"
With that said, the widowed aunt broke away from Lin Xiao's support and stumbled out of the house.
Lin Xiao quickly stopped her:
"Auntie, just wait, I'll go too!"
Beside the well.
Lin Da was rescued and was soaked all over. He was lying by the well with his eyes closed, and his hair was dripping with drops of water.
Lin Xiao observed the environment around the well with a solemn expression.
In order to prevent slipping, the ground around the well is paved with gravel blocks. The anti-slip effect is very good. How did Lin Da fall?
"My son! My son! Wake up! Don't scare me!"
The widowed aunt slapped Lin Da's cheek anxiously, her eyes filled with despair and fear.
Her man died not long after Lin Da was born. She had to raise him as both a father and a mother, which was heartbreaking.
Although he just choked on the water and passed out, he didn't know when he would wake up.
