"No." The father and daughter said in unison.
Rong Bowen said, "I would rather you be a butcher than a slave."
"That's right. Being a slave has no dignity. Being beaten or killed depends on the master's pleasure. Moreover, all your descendants will be slaves and can't hold their heads up high."
Linlang didn't expect her brother to have such thoughts. "Brother, your ambition should be directed elsewhere. It's better to strengthen yourself than to rely on others."
Rong Yi just wanted to take a shortcut, but he didn't expect to get unanimous opposition from his father and sister. He realized that he had thought wrong and said, "I will practice kung fu with my sister."
"That's better. My brother will definitely have a better future." Linlang would never be a slave to others. She would not allow it. In this life, she would help her brother realize his dream.
Teaching him Kung Fu is for self-protection, and secondly, he has great ambitions and can take part in the martial arts examination next year.
"And Dad, I don't want you to put yourself in greater danger again just to protect me. Our family must always be together and face difficulties together, rather than sacrificing anyone for peace."
In her previous life, her father was beheaded by someone, but her hands still tightly clung to the other person's legs. Linlang's eyes were red, "Dad, we are all fine."
"Silly girl."
Rong Bowen was deeply moved. "Dad isn't going to die. Ten years later, the case would have been solved and the bad guys would have been buried alive. The reason I haven't been doing my old job all these years is because I'm afraid it will affect your marriage. Being a coroner isn't a glorious job."
Although the coroner is a government official, he deals with dead people every day, which people think is unlucky and daunting.
Many places did not have coroners, so when a case occurred, pig butchers were sent to investigate. Therefore, Li Guangping also looked down on pig butchers and thought they were of low status.
But Rong Bowen loves this job and enjoys clearing the names of the deceased through his own efforts.
"Now it seems that even if being a coroner is a lowly position and people look down on it, it's still better than being a butcher. If people look down on you, anyone can step on you."
Rong Bowen smiled and said, "Becoming a coroner has fulfilled my dream. Your mother will be happy if she knows about this."
Rong Bowen pointed to the side room and said, "Amu's identity is a big problem. Another reason why Dad became a coroner was to get him an identity."
Linlang just remembered that without a household registration, they were considered illegal residents and could be arrested at any time. Especially since Amu was a stranger, if someone discovered him, he would definitely be reported, and they would be in big trouble.
"Dad, it was my negligence that almost brought big trouble to our family."
"With so many things happening at once, it's normal that you haven't thought things through thoroughly." Rong Bowen comforted his daughter. "I'll go to the government office tomorrow to submit the paperwork and sign up for duty. I'll find the right opportunity to get a suitable household registration for Amu."
Li Guangping will not cause any trouble for a while, so Rong Bowen must take this opportunity to prepare everything and not let anyone take advantage of him.
"Thank you, Dad."
"What are you thanking me for? After Dad left, you and your brother have to take good care of the house. It's a heavy responsibility. Before I come back, no one must find Amu."
The brother and sister nodded.
Linlang used the things on hand to make cakes, Rong Yi was doing horse stance in the yard, and Rong Bowen was chopping firewood nearby.
Amu was still sleeping in the side room. When he heard the sound of chopping wood, his ears moved slightly.
Linlang made tea cakes, a few simple flower patterns, but they were beautiful and delicious. When they took them out, the father and son praised them highly and thought they would be a good gift for the Marquis' Mansion.
Rong Bowen was worried and said, "Let your brother go with you."
"good."
The brother and sister changed into clean clothes and went out with the basket.
On the way, Linlang talked to Rongyi about the martial arts exam, "Brother, you practice with me first. When I have money, I will hire a professional master for you. Then you can take the martial arts exam and get a good rank. If you want to join the army, I won't stop you."
Rong Yi felt that his vision was not as long-term as his sister's. Everything that happened in the past two days was planned by his sister. He is a man, and he should support the family.
"Sister, I will work hard and I will never let you down."
Linlang was about to say yes when she saw someone coming from the front. She quickly pulled Rong Yi's arm and hid in the bushes nearby.
Even though he was a few decades younger, Linlang could still recognize that the person walking in front was Gu Yuanfang's lackey. What was he doing bringing people to the town?
After the people walked away, Linlang told Rong Yi the identities of the three people, "I have a hunch that they should be going to the Li family."
"Let's go and see."
Just as Linlang was thinking, the brother and sister followed from a distance and watched them enter the Li family's house. However, they did not enter peacefully, but kicked open the gate of the Li family's house.
This was followed by the sounds of smashing and smashing, as well as the screaming and crying of Mrs. Li and Li Yue'e, and the voice of Old Man Li begging for mercy.
"You lowly bastards, you dare to stir up trouble outside and ruin my young lady's good fortune. Smash them and beat them up, so they'll learn their lesson."
"Break this bastard's arms and legs, and let him know what to do and what not to do."
Then, Li Guangping's shrill cry was heard, "Ah——"
His mouth was gagged again, and the sound died down at the back, but muffled cries of pain could still be heard.
Rong Yi was stunned with fear. It was too cruel. This was the aristocracy. Even a young lady could make people beat and kill a commoner. He had been thinking the wrong thing before. His sister was right. No one could be relied on. He could only work hard to become strong.
Linlang was surprised. She didn't expect things to go in a weird direction. Gu Yuanfang actually sent someone to break one of Li Guangping's arms and legs.
It's fun to watch dogs bite each other.
Can they still be a loving couple in this life?
Linlang sneered. In the previous life, four lives were lost, she and her son were displaced, and her son had a bumpy career. What they paid was not enough, not enough at all.
The Li family was in chaos. None of the neighbors came to see the crying and shouting. The Li family had offended the powerful and wealthy, and besides, they were not popular, so no one would take the initiative to do this.
After listening to almost everything, Linlang pulled her brother away and came to the villa halfway up the mountain, where she told the doorman her purpose.
I had planned to leave after delivering the items, but when the doorman heard it was Miss Linlang, he immediately said, "Miss Linlang, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the lady right away."
Be polite and courteous to the brother and sister, and go in to report quickly.
Soon, Chun Xing, the head maidservant who followed Song, came out with a smile, "Miss Linlang, Master Rong, please come in."
"Thank you very much."
Only after entering the villa did he realize the elegant lifestyle of wealthy families. Rong Yi saw his sister walking forward without looking around, so he quickly looked away and followed his sister's example, not wanting to embarrass the Rong family.
The brother and sister were led by Chun Xing all the way to the main courtyard. Song sat on the Arhat bed, flanked by her four heroic sons, all looking towards the door with smiles on their faces.
As Linlang stepped over the threshold, a pink figure floated over and held her arm affectionately. "You must be Miss Linlang who saved my aunt. Thank you so much. You saved my aunt, so you are my savior."
