The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 3 Lin Herui

Unlike the cozy atmosphere inside the big house, it was noisy and chaotic outside.

"Are my clothes washed yet? I need them to wear when I go to town with Xiaoxiao tomorrow," a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl asked with a frown.

“It was Lin Yan who washed it, go ask her,” said Madam Li, who loved to stir up trouble.

"Lin Yan, have I finished washing my clothes? What have you been doing?" Lin He Rui didn't knock and pushed open the door of the main room to question her.

"Oh dear, the clothes are by the river. I've only just recovered from my illness, and I really can't move them, so I can only leave them there," Lin Yan said, sounding aggrieved.

"What?! You just threw your clothes by the river?!" Mrs. Li was shocked; she had several pieces of clothing in there too.

"That's a satin dress! If you lose it, I'll never forgive you!" Lin Herui was furious. She pointed at Lin Yan and shrieked.

"My second aunt insisted that I wash the clothes, but the clothes were wet and too heavy for me to move, so I could only leave them there!" Lin Yan said innocently.

"You, you can't even do this little job right, and you still have the nerve to blame me?" Knowing that her clothes had also been thrown by the river, Li Shi lost all interest in watching the show. She and Lin He Rui hurriedly headed towards the river.

"Tch, who told you not to wash your own clothes!" Lin Yan rolled her eyes and watched them leave.

The original owner's aunt was the daughter of Old Lady Lin, born late in life. She looked very much like Old Lady Lin when she was young, and Old Lady Lin doted on her. She didn't have to do any chores, only embroider and dress herself up.

The Lin family elders thought their daughter was excellent and had always wanted to find a husband for Lin He Rui in a town, otherwise she would have been married off long ago in the village at her age.

However, the Lin family was not well-off, and Lin Herui was not particularly beautiful. She didn't have any other advantages, so the wealthy men in the town naturally didn't want her.

Therefore, Lin Herui often joined gatherings of young ladies in town with Lin Xiaoxiao from the village, thinking that by becoming friends with them, she could raise her own status or find a wealthy marriage.

Before long, Lin Herui and Li Shi returned carrying the basin of clothes. Lin Herui walked in front, while Li Shi carried the basin behind, sweating profusely.

Seeing Lin Yan looking this way, Lin He Rui glared at her and hung the clothes up with Li Shi.

"Tsk, they didn't lose it?" Lin Yan was a little disappointed; the villagers were quite honest.

When it was time for dinner that evening, Lin Herui was still glaring at Lin Yan with resentment. Lin Yan looked at the food on the table and saw only a bowl of mixed grain pancakes, stir-fried cabbage, and stewed potatoes with meat, but there were very few pieces of meat.

When it was time to eat, Old Mrs. Lin would put a piece of meat on Lin He Rui's and Lin Fang's eldest son Lin Jie's plate, take one for herself, and give one to Old Man Lin. There was nothing left for everyone else. Lin Yan could only eat her mixed grain pancake with vegetables with resentment.

"This dish is so awful, it's not even as good as what I make," Lin Yan thought bitterly. Her grandmother, Lin, was always reluctant to use oil or seasonings when cooking, and even after decades of cooking, the food was still so bad.

While eating, Lin Herui complained to Old Lady Lin, "Mother, Lin Yan threw her clothes by the river and came back by herself today. My clothes almost got lost."

“Yes, and me too… and your clothes, Mother,” Li added fuel to the fire.

"Eat, eat, eat! You're useless at work, but you're always so eager to eat." Old Mrs. Lin already disliked Lin Yan, and she started scolding her whenever she found something wrong.

"Mother, Yan'er is sick and not feeling well. She can't do heavy work. Let her rest first," Lin Hai said to his daughter.

"She needs to rest, she needs to rest. Who will do the work? Let your wife do her work. The whole house is full of sickly people who can't do anything. They're all so old, do you expect me, an old woman, to take care of them?" Old Mrs. Lin stopped eating and started crying.

Lin Yan was utterly speechless at the old woman. "Waaah, it's my fault. I've already washed all the clothes, but I really can't carry them." Seeing that even her father was speechless from being pushed, Lin Yan had no choice but to take over herself. She covered her face, looking frightened, and started crying too.

"Alright, Lin Yan is young, don't make her do such heavy work. Just let her do odd jobs at home. What kind of family is this, arguing and fighting over this?" Old Man Lin tapped the table and spoke.

Lin Yan was still looking down and covering her face, but she actually raised an eyebrow. "It's impossible for this old man Lin to speak up for himself."

Old Man Lin was very concerned about his reputation. He only wanted things to look harmonious at home to avoid any unpleasant rumors that might damage his image. Otherwise, he wouldn't care about anything else.

Otherwise, the little girl had been sick for several days, and he hadn't even suggested finding a doctor. You see, in the book, Lin Yan's death didn't elicit the slightest remorse from these people.

However, as soon as Old Man Lin spoke, Old Mrs. Lin and Lin He Rui immediately quieted down, and the meal was eaten in silence.

"Sigh, it seems we still have to find a way to separate the family, otherwise this kind of performance every day is quite annoying."

…………

The next morning, Lin Yan got up early. His father had no work that day, only making small boxes and other items at home. Lin Yan was outside grinding wood when he saw Lin Yan come out and asked, "Yan'er, why are you up so early?"

"I'm going out to play with Xiaocao, and we'll go for a walk." Li Xiaocao is Lin Yan's best friend in the village. Lin Yan originally wanted to go up the mountain today, but if he told the truth, his father would definitely not feel at ease, so he only said that he was going to play with his friend.

"Go ahead, have fun!" Lin's father didn't think much of it.

Lin Yan headed east towards the mountains as soon as he left his house. It was just getting light, and there weren't many people on the village roads. The mountains were damp and misty in the early morning, with dew still clinging to the grass.

Lin Yan walked deeper into the area, where the vegetation was lush, before sitting cross-legged and absorbing the scent of the surrounding plants. This was how she discovered a way to enhance her wood-type abilities.

The ancient environment was relatively primitive, and this place was a mountain range with a strong smell of grass and trees. Lin Yan could even feel the supernatural power in her body growing. She cultivated like this until noon, when the sun shone through the layers of tree branches.

Lin Yancai opened his eyes, took a deep breath, stretched his body, and felt extremely comfortable. He finally had a sense of reality that he had come to this other world.

Lin Yan activated his supernatural ability, connecting with the plants covering his feet. The wild grass on the ground shimmered with a faint light, moving without wind, and the light spots slowly extended in all directions, beginning to sense the movements within the mountain.

She could hear the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, the sounds of small animals moving around, and large patches of honeysuckle and wild mushrooms growing in some places.

Soon, she noticed a rustling sound and the sound of nibbling grass. "Rabbit!" Lin Yan exclaimed, delighted. "Time for an extra meal!" she said, heading towards the rabbit's burrow.

When she arrived at the location, she indeed found some small, ball-shaped droppings on the ground, as well as gnawed plants.

Rabbits are very sensitive and wary in the wild, so Lin Yan stopped walking forward. She bent down, picked up a few stones from the ground, and quietly waited behind the tree.

A short while later, two gray rabbits appeared not far away. Lin Yan flicked a pebble and hit one of the rabbits in the neck. The rabbit twitched its legs and fell to the ground dead.

The other one turned and darted away upon hearing the sound, but Lin Yan threw another stone, hitting it on the back of the head, killing it instantly.

Lin Yan clapped his hands, picked up the two rabbits, found a riverbank, gathered some branches, and took out a lighter from his spatial storage to light them.

"Luckily, I still have a lighter in my space, otherwise I would have had to start a fire by rubbing sticks together!" Lin Yan skinned and cleaned the two rabbits, then found some seasonings and a barbecue grill in her space. During the apocalypse, they sometimes barbecued outside, and since she had a space-type ability, she kept all these things in her space.

She made incisions on the rabbit, sprinkled some seasoning, and grilled it on the grill for 20 minutes. Then she brushed it with some oil and seasoning and grilled it for another 10 minutes.

Soon, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air. Lin Yan took out one, tore off a piece, and saw that the rabbit meat was roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It looked delicious. Lin Yan had been eating bland and tasteless food at the Lin family's house for the past two days. Now, smelling the aroma of roasted rabbit meat, she swallowed and started eating. She ate half a rabbit by herself.

Then he wrapped the rest in oil paper and put it in his space, preparing to take it home for Lin's parents and Lin Yu to have a special meal.

Lin Yan cleaned up the mess and went back to the mountains to cultivate until sunset before heading back.
