Yi Zhiheng stood up and followed Lin Qingyan toward the educated youth settlement.
When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, lunch had already been prepared. Perhaps because they hadn't returned, the other educated youth were already eating.
Chen Lu said, "Qingyan, Yi Zhiqing, the food is ready. The others couldn't wait and have already started eating, but there's still some left for you in the pot."
"Thank you, Sister Chen Lu."
Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui sat together eating, and they looked like they could hardly swallow the food, probably because they thought it was unpalatable.
They were all sitting at the kitchen doorway, and Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng had to pass by them when they entered the kitchen.
Although Yi Zhiheng had been comforted and encouraged by Lin Qingyan, he would still instinctively try to avoid Lin Guanghui out of fear.
Lin Qingyan said, "Xiao Heng, don't be afraid, let's go eat."
They intended to bypass Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui to go to the kitchen, but Lin Sisi spoke up at that moment.
She stood up and said to Lin Qingyan insincerely, "Qingyan, what were you and this male educated youth doing just now? It's time to eat, and I was worried you wouldn't have anything to eat. Xiaohui and I were even saying we were going to look for you."
As she spoke, she looked at Yi Zhiheng, deliberately emphasizing the words "male educated youth," as if she were implying that Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng had done something shameful.
Lin Qingyan sneered: "Lin Sisi, stop with your hypocrisy. You care if I have food to eat? You probably wish I'd die out there. Oh, right, this is Xiao Heng, my younger brother. He saw something disgusting and went outside to vomit, so I went to check on him and take care of him."
Lin Sisi's expression changed immediately upon hearing her words.
Lin Qingyan has a younger brother? Was the disgusting thing she mentioned earlier about her and Lin Guanghui?
This is outrageous!
But she didn't show any anger on the surface: "Qingyan, how can you think of me like that? We are sisters with Xiaohui, I am your older sister, shouldn't an older sister care about her younger sister? How can you be so ungrateful and think of me so maliciously? You'll hurt your older sister."
Although she wanted to teach Lin Qingyan a lesson, she couldn't ruin her good image.
After all, she would be staying at this educated youth settlement for a long time and would have to get along with the other educated youth.
The other educated youths around them all looked on with amusement, and only after listening to their conversation did they realize that they were from the same family.
Lin Qingyan didn't want to waste any more words with Lin Sisi.
"Lin Sisi, don't try to connect with me. I've cut ties with Lin Heping. You two are just burdens brought home by his second wife, and you have absolutely nothing to do with me. Don't try to connect with me again."
"Qingyan, you."
Upon hearing the word "wife," Lin Guanghui became enraged. Pointing at Lin Qingyan's nose, he threatened, "Lin Qingyan, watch your mouth. My mother is not someone you can insult."
"He was originally Lin Heping's second wife. You two are just a burden. Am I wrong to say that?"
"Lin Qingyan, you, you're going to be the death of me!"
As he spoke, he swung his fist at Lin Qingyan.
"Don't you dare hit my sister!"
Yi Zhiheng raised his hand and caught Lin Guanghui's fist. Lin Guanghui glanced at Yi Zhiheng and smiled wickedly: "Get out of the way. This is a matter between me and Lin Qingyan. It's none of your business."
Yi Zhiheng was still instinctively afraid of Lin Guanghui, especially when he saw his face, he remembered the ferocious and terrifying appearance of Lin Guanghui when he led people to beat him every night.
He shook the other person's fist, then shook his head.
"I won't allow it. No one can hit my sister."
"Then I'll beat you up, you little beggar. Looks like you haven't had enough of being beaten yet? Before, when I beat you, you always ran away. This time you're even asking for a beating. Fine, I'll grant your wish. I was originally planning to deal with Lin Qingyan first and then you, but since you've come to me, I won't be polite."
Anyway, he was bigger and stronger than Yi Zhiheng. Yi Zhiheng used to only beg for mercy at his feet, but now he can't do anything to him.
Hmph, that damned beggar. His mother said that since this little beggar ate their food, he deserves to be beaten.
However, he liked to beat up this beggar purely for amusement.
Who told him to be destitute and live like trash at the very bottom of society?
He immediately swung his fist and smashed it towards Yi Zhiheng.
"Stop fighting!" Wang Qiang shouted, but no one listened to him.
"Don't hit my brother."
Lin Qingyan had already taken the kitchen knife out of her bag and held it in front of Yi Zhiheng.
When Lin Guanghui saw the kitchen knife gleaming with a chilling light, he suddenly remembered the time when Lin Qingyan had used a knife against him at home and cut his finger. He was so frightened that he instinctively pulled his fist back.
Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng went into the kitchen, and Lin Guanghui's expression turned ugly again.
He must have been very embarrassed to show fear of Lin Qingyan in front of so many people.
He looked at Chen Lu, wondering if she would think he was a coward, lacking any manly spirit, and even afraid of a woman.
He didn't know that Chen Lu had just stopped him from fighting with Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng, but he didn't seem to hear Chen Lu's voice, and Chen Lu's impression of him was extremely bad.
In Chen Lu's mind, she was no different from a thug.
Lin Sisi's face was also very ugly. She had just been humiliated by Lin Qingyan, and these educated youths would definitely look down on her in the future.
Because she was angry, she shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, but then spat them out because she found them unpalatable.
The other educated youths saw this and shook their heads. This pampered young lady was not as good as Tong Jiaojiao. Could she do any work?
