Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 296 - 295: How Should I Take Revenge for You

Lin Yu sneered, "Who knows? Maybe she offered something up, there are always those older men in charge who fall for her act!"

In her eyes, Lin Xia didn’t know anybody influential either, someone who could overpower Miao Xue’s uncle would have to be a higher-ranking official.

She wanted to ask for help. Why would anyone help her just for a gift? If she wasn’t willing to sleep with them, what else could she do?

Qian Chunli spat, "Such a slut! Just like her dead mother!"

Lin Yu’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t care about the pain in her body anymore, urgently asking, "Mom! Was her mother like that too?"

Qian Chunli scoffed disdainfully, "I only heard it from a drunk Lin Aiguo a few years back, he said that when Yu Wanhua married him, she wasn’t a virgin..."

Lin Yu scorned, "Like mother, like daughter indeed!"

Qian Chunli agreed, "Exactly!"

But looking at her daughter’s pale swollen face with a slap print, she had no mood to think of anything else, "Xiaoyu, why don’t you take a couple of days off work? Rest up before going back..."

Lin Yu didn’t want to stay at home for another minute, but she didn’t need a mirror to guess how dreadful she must look at the moment.

If she went to work, who knows how many people would laugh at her.

She clenched her teeth and made up her mind, "Alright! Mom, you call my workplace tomorrow and ask for leave on my behalf!"

If Lin Aiguo dared to hit her like that, she would definitely take her revenge on him! And on Lin Xia and the rest, none of them would have it easy!

When Lin Qiang came home from work late at night and saw Lin Yu lying on the bed in the Western House, he was shocked.

Lin Yu, wary that Lin Aiguo in the Eastern House might hear, only mentioned the beating and didn’t share her plans with Lin Qiang.

By the next day, Lin Aiguo and Qian Chunli had both gone to work.

With just Lin Yu and Lin Qiang at home, Lin Yu tearfully recounted the whole story to him.

Lin Qiang had always quarreled with Lin Yu, but no matter what, she was still his elder sister.

Seeing Lin Yu, who used to be pretty, with bruises and slap marks on her face, he felt an uncontrollable rage burning inside him.

He was a man; a few hits from Lin Aiguo were nothing to him, he could take it; after all, he was tough! freēnovelkiss.com

But Lin Yu, a young woman, should not have been hit; that was unacceptable no matter what.

"You tell me, how can I help you get even?"

Lin Yu wiped away her tears, "Qiangzi, even mom said yesterday that we have to tolerate Lin Aiguo for now, but I can’t swallow the anger of being hit by him like this.

Why did he hit me? It’s all because of Lin Xia and those bitches!

You have no idea how well they are doing now; they bought their own house, not only do they have a business in the greenhouses, but they’ve also opened a clothing store right at the door of their home..."

"Lin Xia is that rich?" Lin Qiang was shocked, he was so busy with work, he really didn’t know about these things.

Qian Chunli did hear about this from Lin Yu before, but she feared her son would become even more determined to quit his job and start a business, so she never mentioned it to him.

"Is that even a question! Look at the life we are living, you carry big logs and get up before dawn, and the money doesn’t even reach your hands, you’re basically working for Lin Aiguo;

And look at me, I could have gone to university, but because of their constant trouble-making, I ended up as just a storage keeper in a factory, sitting in an ’office’, but what do I actually do every day?

And with just a few tens of yuan as a pitiful salary each month, it’s gone before I know it...

But look at them, living the good life, eating and dressing well... Now Lin Aiguo is even more on their side, he beat me up just because of Lin Qiu’s issue!"

Who did I provoke, I am just working at the same place as Lin Qiu’s partner, am I? How can such wrong be done to someone...

Lin Yu just blamed everything on Lin Xia and the rest, never once looking for any faults in herself.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiang became even more enraged. Those few who seemed worthless in his eyes were now living life more carefree and complacent than he was—how could he tolerate that?

"Lin Aiguo is so unreasonable! Lin Yu, you tell me, how should we handle them? It definitely won’t work face-to-face, it would be best to do something behind their backs..."

Lin Qiang had been frightened by a beating he received while being detained, so he didn’t dare confront them openly, but he was still bold enough to do something sneaky.

Lin Yu was waiting for these words from Lin Qiang, "I’ll show you where their house is, you go in the middle of the night and set their clothing store on fire, burn it down without anyone noticing, let’s see how they can swagger after that..."

This was the plan Lin Yu had come up with after thinking all night,

She could not rely on that Chen Gang she met through Miao Xue, who, although somewhat capable, was not trustworthy—who knew if he was instructed by Miao Xue to pursue her?

But who else could she turn to?

She didn’t have much money, barely making enough to cover her expenses each month.

There was no choice but to turn to her own younger brother, Lin Qiang!

Lin Qiang thought her plan was good; as long as he didn’t encounter anyone face-to-face, he could take advantage of the dark night to set the store on fire, which wasn’t difficult at all.

"Fine! When the time comes, I’ll burn their house clean, let’s see how they cry!"

Lin Yu laughed smugly, "My brother is indeed reliable!" She pulled over a red leather bag, took out twenty dollars from it, "Take this money to buy some drinks!"

Although she felt the pinch, she knew that even when dealing with her own brother, some money had to be spent.

Lin Qiang didn’t decline and happily accepted, "Then I won’t be polite!"

He had come back only in the latter half of the previous night, so he wasn’t working during the day.

He was just thinking of going out to find his buddy Mangzi to hang out, but he was short on cash, so this was really a godsend.

A few nights later, when every household had drifted into slumber, two men arrived outside the front gate of Lin Xia’s house, both slyly pushing bicycles.

They were none other than Lin Qiang and his buddy, Mangzi!

Lin Qiang went to drink with Mangzi and mentioned how well Lin Xia and the others were doing and that Lin Yu had been beaten by Lin Aiguo. Declaring he needed to vent for Lin Yu, Mangzi, buoyed by alcohol, thumped his chest and promised to be in on it!

Back then, Mangzi had followed Lin Qiang to settle scores with Lin Xia, but ended up getting beaten up by Lin Xia and Lin Dong. He’d been holding on to this grudge, waiting for a chance to get even!

Lin Qiang pondered, having Mangzi along was a good idea; he really felt nervous about being alone so late at night.

After following Lin Yu secretly to this place to scout it out earlier, he had come up with another bold plan in his mind!

Instead of simply setting Lin Qiu’s clothing store ablaze as Lin Yu had suggested, why not first take the valuable stuff from inside? After that, they could light the fire.

This way, he could benefit and also inflict loss on Lin Xia and the others, killing two birds with one stone—why not?

The two stealthily parked their bikes, which they rode there and would later serve as their means of transport.

Lin Qiang listened carefully for any nearby sounds, with Mangzi following at his side.

"Qiangzi! How do we do this?" Mangzi whispered, eyeing the adobe-brick house with wooden shutters over the windows in front of them.

If they wanted to take the items first, as Lin Qiang planned, they needed to figure out how to open the door or windows.
