Chapter 45 But You Are My Sister



This sentence instantly ignited everyone's emotions. No one in the yard could sit still. "What a bullshit master! What a bullshit Cao Bin. He's already in prison. How can you be so ashamed!"

The matter quickly fermented in the yard in the past two days. Many people who visited each other talked about the incident of the second child's mother being □□.

Everyone who knew her, when talking about Erwa's mother, said that she was a good person, kind-hearted, benevolent, and had never exploited anyone. Whenever someone's family was in trouble, she would take the initiative to help. How could she be so heartless and kill such a good person?

"The organization has rehabilitated Erwa's mother. She was a good person, not a bastard. You and your family killed her. Get out!" Someone else yelled, "You killed a good person!"

The eldest master came up to the stage and was scolded before he could say a word. He stared at the rotten eggs on his head, and the rotten smell entered his nose, but he still had no expression.

Lin Minjun felt only admiration when she saw this. She could never understand the mentality of this bad person. Most people would have cried if they were pointed at and scolded like this, but look, that grown-up lady was crying her heart out beside them.

The eldest master remained silent, wiped his face and stopped talking. No one knew what was supporting him.

After a while, when everyone had cursed enough, the eldest master finally spoke up, "My son Xiaobin has done such a thing. I am too ashamed to be the eldest master and the leader of the hospital. I am hereby resigning. From now on, I will be Lao Cao, not the eldest master. Please forgive me."

He was old and bowed after he finished speaking. Some people felt embarrassed to continue cursing, while others lowered their voices from cursing loudly to muttering softly.

The eldest mother was still crying her heart out, "Why did you resign, Lao Cao? Our Xiaobin was wrongly accused. My son did not steal anything."

Everyone looked at him mockingly when they heard this. Your Xiaobin himself admitted it. This is a new society, and there is no such thing as forced confession. Who else could it be if not him?

What's more, the police found the stolen goods directly from him, so how could they wrongly accuse him?

Everyone thinks that the mother loves her son so much that she has gone crazy and is simply blind.

I was too lazy to care about her at the moment, and when I saw Master Ma was about to speak, I turned my eyes away.

Master Ma is the pillar of support in the yard and the leader of the power supply bureau. Now Master Ma is no longer the Master Ma, he is the uncrowned leader.

Grandpa Ma cleared his throat and finished his speech. "In the final analysis, Xiaobin was wrong in this matter, but he has been arrested by the police and will go to jail. Let's stop discussing it. You said you want to drive Lao Cao away, but this yard was rented by the power supply bureau and Erwa, and he is an electrician at the power supply bureau. How can he leave? So let's leave this matter to the police."

Master Ma announced the end of the whole hospital meeting and asked everyone to go home and do their own things.

But such a big thing happened in the yard, and everyone has a lot to say. Can it be stopped with just a few words?

Of course not. Grandpa Ma left, but everyone else stayed. They gathered together and were still talking about this matter. The conversation was very lively.

Someone looked at the former Great Master, now Great Master Cao, and his wife supporting each other as they left, and suddenly hissed, "No, I don't think it's right. With Great Master Cao's personality, it's impossible for him to admit his mistakes so easily and resign. Why do I feel that his resignation is a way for his family to quickly cover up the theft?"

"Now that you mention it, I also feel that something is not right. They are so quick to admit their mistakes."

Suddenly someone slapped his thigh and said, "Do you think it was Master Cao who instigated the incident? Cao Bin is his son, so of course he listens to him. Besides, Cao Bin was only a few years old at the time. Could he really have thought of such a vicious method?"

"I feel scared every time you say that. How dare Aunt Cao bully Erwa? Why isn't she afraid? Isn't she afraid that his parents will come looking for her?"

This is of course just gossip from everyone. The police will naturally be able to find out whether it was instigated by Master Cao.

However, the rumor became inappropriate as it spread. When it reached Aunt Cao's ears, it became like that it was Uncle Cao who instigated his son to join the Little Red Army to specifically deal with Erwa's mother. He was a ruthless person and now that something had happened, he pushed all the responsibility onto his own son.

"This is complete nonsense. How could you harm your own son? Even I didn't know Xiaobin had hidden something, how could you know!" After hearing this, Aunt Cao stomped her feet in anger and immediately went to complain to Grandpa Cao.

In fact, Master Cao really didn't know it at first. But a few years later, when Cao Bin showed the things to him, he knew that his son had stolen things.

After knowing this, Master Cao didn't say anything. He just regarded it as a gift from the sky and asked Cao Bin to keep it.

But he never thought that this case would be uncovered one day, and the pie in the sky almost crushed his family to death!

"The people out there are so mean. They are not afraid of ruining their tongues by saying such things. My Xiaobin has already been arrested. What else can they do?" Aunt Cao was so angry that she kept stamping her feet. "I'm going to go out and see who is saying such things. I'm going to tear her mouth off!"

"Don't go out. Don't you think you've caused enough trouble?" Master Cao didn't move. He looked lifeless and as if he had suffered a great blow.

He sneered, "People outside are all being guided by others when they say things. The ones who guide them are the bad ones. It's just like Erwa before. If you say that Erwa likes to steal things, everyone will follow suit. It's the same principle."

The old man didn't feel guilty yet, but Aunt Cao felt guilty first. She asked awkwardly, "Then who do you think was guiding him from behind?"

"Who else could it be? Who hates our family the most? Who else could it be besides Lin Minjun and Erwa?" Grandpa Cao thought about it but couldn't get any better. He felt uncomfortable all over. "It was Erwa who ran back last time and caused trouble for us as soon as he came back. Neither of them can stay. Separate them and send them all away."

"It's not that easy." Aunt Cao said without thinking, "It's someone else's house."

Master Cao had already made up his mind, and immediately said in a commanding tone, "Everything depends on human effort. If you contact Lao Yan now..."

Before she could finish the following words, Aunt Cao stamped her feet in anger, "Still contacting us? The last time Erwa came back, he beat someone up. I heard it was pretty serious. Lao Yan felt very embarrassed and refused to contact us anymore, saying that we were cheating him."

"Wait, what did you say? Erwa hit someone, and it was quite serious?" Grandpa Cao slammed the table and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Although it was clear that his family had already fallen and could not afford to struggle any longer, Mr. Cao still refused to admit defeat and insisted on fighting to the death.

If a person wants to die, what can we do?

As for Lin Minjun, she didn't know at that time that Master Cao was still planning a final, dying counterattack. Her only goal now was to make money.

Focus on making money, buy a house in the capital as soon as possible, and lay down roots. From then on, you don’t have to worry about anything. No one can drive her away, no one can control her life, she can get married if she doesn’t want to, and have children if she doesn’t want to, and no one can interfere.

Erwa did say that he could let Lin Minjun settle down in his own house without paying any money, since they were family after all.

But after thinking about it, Lin Minjun decided to refuse. It wasn't because she had a stubborn temper and didn't want to compete with anyone.

It's because Erwa has an older brother. Although everyone says that the person is dead, the army has not sent any compensation, which means that the person is fine and will come back sooner or later. The house does not belong to Erwa alone, and she doesn't want to cause conflicts between the two brothers because of her own affairs.

"Anyway, I'm setting up a stall now and making quite a bit of money. If I save for a few more months, it will be enough to buy a small shed or rent a small store." Lin Minjun said to Erwa who was sitting in the back while riding her bike.

Erwa was sitting in the back, feeling his sister's hair brushing against his head, smelling the sweet scent, and suddenly biting her lips.

In fact, he really didn't want his sister to move out. He was afraid that girls would get married in the future, and when his sister got married, she would not have the energy to visit him. He was also afraid that the man his sister married would not be good to her, and he would not be able to support her.

The little boy sat in the car with his head bowed, tossing and turning in his worry.

Lin Minjun was still calculating excitedly, "I asked last time, there is a small store at a crossroads, the rent is 800 yuan a year, and it will be more than 1,000 yuan when everything is completed. I don't have enough now, but it will be enough by the end of the year."

"I still have something here. I can sell it and use it to cushion the problem for you first." Erwa said gloomily.

Lin Minjun: "No, Comrade Erwa, I appreciate your kindness, but do you know what the word is called a sin?"

Erwa's worries were suddenly interrupted, and he looked at his illiterate sister suspiciously, "What crime?"

"What crime?" The words came to her lips but she couldn't say them. Lin Minjun was very anxious. She had no conditions to study in the countryside. The only words she knew were taught by the educated youth one by one. Later, she had no chance to go to school again.

At this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. This is not the way to go. She will be doing business all her life and dealing with people. What if she gets cheated by others because she has no education?

In his previous life, Lu Deping went to college and even studied for a master's degree. Everyone said that he was a Confucian businessman.

Lin Minjun doesn't have any feelings for Lu Deping now, but she can see from him that studying is a good thing, and she has to find a way to study.

Let’s not talk about this for now. Lin Minjun pondered over what exactly this crime was.

Erwa suddenly responded, "Sister, you are talking about the crime of possessing a jade pendant!"

"Yes! That's it. You are still a child. You can't sell things and borrow money just because others are nice to you. If you do this, you will be targeted sooner or later. Do you understand, Comrade Erwa?" Lin Minjun looked serious.

Erwa thought about it seriously and said, "But you are not someone else, you are my sister."

"I'm your sister, but I won't tell you until you grow up."

As the brother and sister were talking here, Lin Minjun rode a tricycle to the entrance of the alley. Goudan came over to greet them with a smile, jumping up and down.

"Boss!" Goudan shouted in a serious tone, looking like he was about to tell tales, "Your relatives are here. I just saw them."
