?Chapter 48: 48 people’s stroke of destruction Chapter 48: 48 people’s stroke of destruction If something went wrong, he’d be able to blame it all on the eldest, putting the blame squarely on his shoulders.


    Yeah, that’s the plan. sea??h thё N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With an idea in mind, Lin Lu looked at Lin Qingshan with an uncommonly tender expression.


    At times like this, a son could be quite useful.


    Lin Qingshan tensed up when he collided with his father’s gaze, which might as well have been admiring treasure.


    He had an ominous feeling.


    He felt… he was probably about to be screwed over.


    Lin Lu withdrew his gaze, not caring about his eldest son’s thoughts, and spoke gently to Lin Tang:


    “Tangtang, hand this job over to your big brother, let him handle it.


    You’re a girl, we don’t do this kind of rough work!”


    His words were coaxing as if he was cajoling a young girl.


    Lin Tang’s mouth curled up in a smile, “Alright, I’ll listen to Dad.”


    After agreeing, the family headed to the backyard with great momentum.


    “Tangtang, how should we do this?”


    Lin Qingshan rolled up his sleeves.


    Looking at the three ‘oink oinking’ piglets in the pen, he sharpened his knife.


    Lin Tang only knew the theoretical knowledge; she had never actually done it herself.


    Too bad the book given by the system wasn’t a physical object; once she took it out, it became part of her knowledge base.


    Otherwise, she could have just pulled out the book.


    “…I read in the book that castrating techniques are divided into ‘big pick flower’ and ‘small pick flower’.


    The ‘big pick flower’ requires stitching, which is too troublesome; let’s not consider that.


    I’ll focus on ‘small pick flower,’ you start by making an incision with a peach-shaped knife…”


    Lin Tang tried to explain the castration process in simple terms.


    However, without actual practice, all the theories seemed somewhat hollow.


    Compared to Lin Lu and Li Xiuli, who were completely clueless, Lin Qingshan had a slightly better capacity to understand and picked up on some key points.


    “I think I’ve got the gist of it, let’s catch one and try!”


    “Big brother, after you’re done, don’t forget to apply this to the piglets to prevent infection,” Lin Tang handed over the tools and antiseptic vaccine patches to her brother.


    Lin Qingshan took them and studied them, asking his sister about how to use them.


    The tool looked small and handy, very sharp.


    And he had never seen anything like the antiseptic vaccine patch before.


    Lin Qingshan glanced at Lin Tang and, without asking further, stepped right into the pigpen.


    Just when Lin Tang was about to find an excuse to explain:


    “…”


    Right, no need for excuses!


    Seeing his eldest dive in, Lin Lu also rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the pigpen.


    “I’ll hold down the piglets.”


    As he spoke, he grabbed a piglet and pressed it to the ground.


    It was a male piglet.


    Oddly enough, it seemed as if the piglet suddenly gained intelligence.


    At the sight of the nefarious little knife in Lin Qingshan’s hands, it let out a fierce and powerful scream.


    A posture of preferring death to dishonor.


    “…oink oink…”


    The cries were ear-splitting, making the neighbors think the Lin Family was slaughtering a pig.


    Lin Lu firmly held down the piglet, rendering it completely immobile, only able to let out more piercing screams.


    Lin Qingshan took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself.


    He squeezed the piglet’s testicles, gripping them firmly.


    Lining up the knife, he made a couple of gentle cuts.


    Accompanied by pitiful wails.


    Two testicles, looking like lychee meat stripped of its shell, landed on the wax paper Lin Qingshan had prepared in advance.


    After finishing the job, he quickly applied the antiseptic vaccine patch to a certain devastated area of the piglet.


    As soon as the patch was applied, the piglet’s howling significantly subsided, and it seemed to revive somewhat in spirit.


    The whole process took no more than five minutes.


    Since it was his first time, Lin Qingshan was sweating profusely from his forehead and his legs were slightly shaking.


    There’s no way around it, a piglet is worth dozens of yuan.


    Lin Lu, seeing nothing wrong with the piglet, lifted his leg and let the piglet go.


    The little piglet immediately stood up straight and, as if its life depended on it, fled to the opposite side.


    After seeing this, Lin Qingshan looked at Lin Tang and said, “Tangtang, how about that? I didn’t make a mistake, right?”


    “No mistake, that’s exactly it!” Lin Tang gave her big brother a thumbs up.


    Not looking like a novice, very efficient!


    Lin Qingshan, praised by his sister, couldn’t help but puff out his chest, his mouth almost splitting to the back of his head.


    Seeing the eldest’s unseemly behavior, Lin Lu said, “Alright, stop showing off. There are two more, keep going.”


    Following that, another round of inhuman wailing came from the Lin Family’s backyard.


    Li Xiuli, having seen that the first piglet was fine, had already gone back to the front yard.


    Just out of the backyard, she ran into Goudan and a few other kids who hadn’t even put their shoes on properly.


    “…Hey, why are you all hurrying like that?” Li Xiuli stopped them.


    Goudan looked up at his grandma, his bright eyes eagerly turning towards the backyard.


    “Grandma, I heard our piglets oinking away, are they hungry? I want to go check!”


    Li Xiuli’s lips twitched slightly, thinking there were so many people at home, there was no need for the little ones to worry.


    “No need, your dad, your grandpa, and your little aunt are all in the backyard.


    Go wash your faces and brush your teeth quickly. Look at the eye boogers above your eyes, they’re downright embarrassing…”


    She didn’t spare the kids’ feelings one bit.


    Goudan and the others were used to it and didn’t take it to heart, all snickering and going off to wash their faces.


    Next door, at the Wang family.


    Wu Chunhua, hearing that Li Xiuli had taken three piglets, didn’t want to fall too far behind and, gritting her teeth, took two.


    Wang Zhaodi had caused several problems in a row and had made the family lose money, and had also made her lose face.


    Wu Chunhua was furious.


    Looking at her daughter Wang Zhaodi, she thought her nose didn’t look like a nose, her eyes didn’t look like eyes.


    After bringing the pigs home, she handed them over to Wang Zhaodi.


    Not only that, she gave a direct order that their pigs must grow fatter than the Lin family’s pigs.


    If they couldn’t beat the Lin family, they’d find any family at the end of the year and marry her off.


    Instantly panicked, Wang Zhaodi felt like she couldn’t check on the pigs enough times a day.


    Today was no different; she got up early, preoccupied with the two piglets in the pigpen.


    Just reaching the pigpen, she had just poured yesterday’s cut pig grass into it.


    Then, from next door at Lin Tang’s place, a series of ‘oinks’ from the pigs filled the air.


    The noise was even more tragic than slaughtering a pig, chilling to hear.


    Wang Zhaodi thought something was wrong with the Lin family’s pigs and her eyes suddenly gleamed with excitement.


    Too lazy to feed the pigs carefully, she dumped a basket of pig grass into the pen.


    She climbed up the rickety ladder leaning against the courtyard wall and peered into the Lin family’s backyard.


    What she saw left her dumbfounded.


    What on earth was the Lin family doing?


    She just couldn’t figure it out!


    Wang Zhaodi saw the Lin family catch a piglet and do something that made them each start squealing in turn.


    The sound was so harrowing it was as if they were being sliced open.


    It was unsettling to the ears!


    Lin Lu and Lin Qingshan only stayed in the pigpen for at most ten minutes before coming out.


    As the two of them emerged, Wang Zhaodi saw Lin Qingshan’s body and hands were covered in blood.


    “…Hiss…” Wang Zhaodi gasped in shock.


    Could the Lin family have gone mad?


    But that couldn’t be right, the pigs seemed fine.


    So what were they doing?


    Before Wang Zhaodi had time to understand properly, Wu Chunhua’s scolding voice came from the front yard.


    “Zhaodi, Zhaodi… Where has that damned girl run off to again?


    Not doing any work, always running around, causing losses… such a troublemaker…”


    Along with the scolding, there was a cacophony of banging and crashing sounds.
