Mr. Lin shook his head and placed a small steamed bun on his plate for both his daughter and wife. "Now you're reluctant to part with your sister? What were you doing before?"
Lin Xiaohai asked anxiously, "Who are you going to marry?!"
“You married your brother Lu Feng, didn’t you also like him?” He Yumei peeled a hard-boiled egg for her daughter and put it in her bowl.
"Does she have to get married? Is it not okay if she doesn't? It's not like our family can't afford to support her," Lin Xiaohai said, dissatisfied, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with Lin Wanwan.
"Eat quickly. Your brother Lu Feng is a trustworthy person, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry," Lin Jianbang explained to him.
"Eat your steamed buns quickly," Lin Wanwan said, placing a small steamed bun on his plate.
Lin Xiaohai chimed in, "Sister, if Lu Feng bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll beat him up for you."
Lin Wanwan sized him up and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good-looking. You're nice to me because I'm all dressed up today."
Lin Xiaohai denied it and was about to say something when He Yumei stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth, saying, "Eat quickly and talk less."
"By the way, I discussed it with my parents yesterday. I want to continue studying. Maybe the college entrance exam will be reinstated someday, and you can come with me. You didn't finish high school. Do you want to start over from the first year of high school, or start from the second year?" Lin Wanwan asked Lin Xiaohai.
"Sis, if you want to take the college entrance exam, I have no objection, but can you not take me with you? I'm just not cut out for studying," Lin Xiaohai said, a steamed bun stuck in his chest. Why did he have to say this?
Lin Wanwan didn't even look up. "Then let him start from the first year of high school. Dad, can you help me change schools to Peking University High School? It's closer to the Lu family, and he can live with me from now on."
Lin's father pondered for a moment, "Changing schools is no problem, but I can't live with you, to avoid people gossiping."
"What's the big deal? He's my younger brother. What's wrong with him staying here for a while? I'll talk to Lu Feng. If he doesn't agree, then let Xiao Hai live at school. I can visit him at school all the time," Lin Wanwan said nonchalantly.
Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and realized that living at the Lu family's house didn't seem like a good idea. "I also need to study. It would be best if we could live together so I can study with him. If that's not possible, could I rent him a place and let him eat at my place? I don't want him going home all the time. How can he concentrate on studying with a bunch of bad friends?"
Lin Xiaohai was furious. "You're talking about my business, can't you at least respect my opinion?"
Lin Wanwan glanced at him with hostility. "If we don't respect you, we'll send you straight to the countryside, to the Northwest to support its development. If you won't let me study, then get out of here and go support the development in the Northwest."
Lin Xiaohai didn't want to study, and he didn't want to go to the Northwest. There was nothing there, and he didn't want to go. "Fine, then I'll go study."
"Don't even think about agreeing to go. You're just going to brush it off. If your final grades aren't good, I'll beat you to death," Lin Wanwan said with a sneer.
Lin Xiaohai was surprised. How could you guess that? Just study. What can you do if I only get this many points on the test?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Wanwan continued, "If your grades don't improve at all after finishing the second year of high school, I'll have Dad send you to join the army. Dad has a comrade-in-arms in the Northwest, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Lin Jianbang chuckled inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face. "If you don't want to go to school, I'll contact your Uncle Gao tomorrow and send you to join the army."
Lin Xiaohai had already made up his mind: if anyone dared to send him to the army, he would get a tattoo and see which unit would dare to accept him.
"Let me warn you first. If you dare to get a tattoo, I'll cut it off with a knife. No matter how big the tattoo is, I'll cut it off as big as it is," Lin Wanwan could tell from his expression that he was up to no good again.
Lin Xiaohai trembled at her words, dropping his chopsticks, and said in a trembling voice, "You want to kill me, don't you? Mom and Dad won't let you do that!!!" Lin Xiaohai screamed at the end.
“Neither your mother nor I will interfere; we’ve said we’ll leave everything to your sister,” Lin Jianbang suddenly said.
Lin Xiaohai went to see He Yumei, only to find that she didn't care at all and was just focused on drinking her porridge.
"You remember the dagger Dad gave me before? When I was 16, I met some thugs on the street, and Dad gave it to me for self-defense. I later used it to slash a thug who stopped me on the street. Uncle Li said that if it weren't for this knife, some thug might have succeeded. That thug later had to get ten stitches in the hospital. If you want to try it, I won't stop you. If you dare to get a tattoo, I dare to cut it off. You don't have to be afraid of bleeding to death. We can go directly to the hospital entrance and cut it off. There will be enough time for emergency treatment." Lin Xiaohai was almost crying. His sister dressed more gently than anyone else, but her words were more frightening than anyone else's.
“What you’re doing is illegal, you’ll go to jail,” Lin Xiaohai said, his voice trembling with tears.
Seeing his expression, Lin Wanwan knew he was pretty scared. "Why go to jail? The police usually try to mediate and reconcile these kinds of family disputes. Otherwise, you can go and ask Uncle Li later if that's the case."
After looking at him, he continued, "As long as you study hard, everything will be fine, but if you dare to cause trouble, we'll see who's crazier."
