Chapter 65 Well Done
The word "rebellious son" completely enraged Lin Shuhe, who suddenly threw the iron basin at his head: "Your rebellious son has been arrested by the police!"
No one expected him to do this so suddenly. Old Man Lin was so frightened that he didn't even have time to dodge before being hit squarely. He was stunned and grabbed Old Woman Li next to him, muttering "bastard" under his breath.
Li Yangxiao was terrified. He hadn't expected the Lin family to be so fierce, either splashing water on people or hitting them with iron basins...
Lin Yi'an wasn't surprised. Her father had suffered too much coldness and humiliation since childhood. Old Man Lin, her biological father, hadn't taken on any responsibilities as a father in her father's life. On the contrary, he had suffered a lot because of her. What kind of father was he? How dare he call his son an unfilial son here?
Grandma Lin: "Well done!"
Shuhe had been holding a grudge for years. That old bastard's son smashed Mingshi's car and then shamelessly came to beg for mercy. Didn't he think they were honest and easy to bully?
Old Mrs. Li shouted, "Call the police! We'll call the police too!"
Lin Shuhe's eyes turned red with anger: "Call the police, call the police now! Anyway, I only have one life left. I have one life, and you have three. I've made a profit."
Seeing that the man was about to go crazy with anger, Liu Zhengying, who had been holding back her anger all morning, picked up a stick from the ground and started hitting them. Old Mrs. Li was so scared that she almost wet herself, leaving behind the dizzy old man Lin and scrambling around to avoid him.
The villagers who were watching the commotion were also startled. No wonder they say never mess with an honest person, because if you push them too far, they really dare to fight you head-on.
Li Yangxiao screamed in fright and staggered as he ran outside.
When the villagers saw him like that, they couldn't help but laugh. He was just a coward who only bullied his own kind.
Grandpa Lin felt utterly humiliated: "Yongzhen, tell them to stop. If this gets out of hand, it'll be hard to handle."
Lin Yi'an looked at him and said, "You don't need to come to our door anymore. We will act in accordance with the law and regulations. Whatever the final result is, we will leave it to the judicial authorities."
Grandpa Lin's mood turned serious: "Your car?"
Zuo Mingyang, standing nearby, said, "That blow from your nephew's hammer is worth at least 500,000 yuan. Before the car was towed away, I saw it had been smashed four times and had scratches on the paint. Go back and raise the money; it'll be at least two million yuan, depending on whether you sell the house or the car. Of course, if you have any savings..."
Old Man Lin almost fainted.
Old Mrs. Li dodged around, and when she heard their words, she shouted, "It's just a car, why is it so expensive? Don't try to scam me."
Assistant Chen said from the side, "This car costs more than 20 million. Secretary Zuo underestimated it. If it had been smashed to that extent, the cost would have been more than 2 million. Your son's life has been worth it. One blow cost a million. He may never have such a glorious moment again."
Grandpa Lin was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect the car to be so expensive. When Grandpa Lin's son saw that he was about to speak again, he went up and pulled him away. This matter was no longer something they could get involved in. If they continued to get involved, the Li family might try to take advantage of their family.
Seeing that Grandpa Lin and the others had left, Old Lady Li dared not stay any longer and hurriedly ran outside.
Seeing that they had all left, Old Man Lin got up and ran away.
Liu Zhengying dropped the stick in her hand and her body went limp. Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi quickly stepped forward to support her.
Liu Zhengying hugged her daughter and burst into tears.
Lin Yi'an gently patted her back: "It's okay, it's okay, cry if you want to."
Liu Zhengying cried bitterly: "For so many years, they've only been bullying our family!"
She didn't dare tell Bao'er that when she was admitted to university, Old Man Lin came to see Shuhe and said that Bao'er was adopted and raised, not his biological child. He said that if Bao'er went to university in another city and became wild and didn't come back, it would be a waste of raising her. He suggested that Bao'er marry Li Yangxiao, so that they would still be family in the future and that someone would take care of them when they got old. She was driven away by Shuhe, but she still couldn't give up.
They were a domineering family with powerful backers. They used a combination of threats and bribes, acting as if they wouldn't let them go until they agreed. Luckily, Bao'er's biological parents found her, otherwise she was really afraid that Bao'er would be harmed by them.
Liu Zhengying cried for a while, and Lin Yi'an helped her into the house. The villagers who had come to watch the commotion also dispersed.
Only Aunt Lin was still sitting on the ground wiping away tears. Lin Shuhe looked at her and said, "From now on, you don't need to come back to this house."
Grandma Lin walked over and coldly and calmly instructed Lin Shuhe: "After I pass away, Lin Shuping is not allowed to wear mourning clothes."
"Mother?" Aunt Lin cried out in anguish, "I'm your daughter! How could you say such a thing?"
“You’ve sided with your father who abandoned you time and time again. Since that’s how it is, I’ll grant your wish.” After saying that, Grandma Lin ignored her and looked at Lin Shuhe: “Get rid of her. Don’t let her step into the house again. Since you like the Li family so much, then treat them as your maternal home.”
Lin Shuhe was utterly disappointed and heartbroken by his older sister. He said expressionlessly, "You can leave now. I'll pretend I never had a sister like you."
Aunt Lin glanced at them and could only leave, but in her heart she was thinking of having her son come over and speak to their maternal grandparents and uncles on their behalf.
Inside the house, Lin Yi'an said to Zhou Mingshi, "Li Damang's eldest son is a secretary in the county party committee, Li Ermang's eldest daughter's father-in-law is the director of the county power supply bureau, and Li Damang's second son is involved in organized crime. The whole family is a bully in the village. A few years ago, they seized the foundation of a neighbor's house. The neighbor was so angry that he went to argue with them, and they beat the neighbor so badly that he ended up in the hospital. In the end, they paid some money to settle the matter."
Assistant Chen: "Judging from their arrogant and domineering manner, they probably haven't met their match before."
Zhou Mingshi: "These two pythons, do they really think they're local tyrants?"
Liu Zhengying was filled with righteous indignation: "They do all sorts of petty theft, and people in the nearby villages grit their teeth when they talk about them."
Zhou Mingshi looked at Assistant Chen: "Go and tell Secretary Zuo that we'll invite him to dinner tonight."
Assistant Chen responded and went out.
Lin Yongzhen looked at her grandson-in-law: "What do you want?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Grandma, don't worry, I won't do anything illegal. As for those people, it's best if they haven't done anything illegal or disorderly either."
As he said this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yongzhen: "You've always been steady and reliable, and Grandma can rest assured when you do things."
After saying that, he frowned again: "On such a joyous day, some unpleasant things have happened. Tomorrow, we should all go to the temple on the mountain to burn incense and pray to Buddha to get rid of the bad luck."
Wang Ma also stayed in Changping. After everyone had left, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
After lunch, the two returned to their room. Lin Yi'an looked at Zhou Mingshi and asked, "What do you mean by inviting Zuo Mingyang to lunch?"
Zhou Mingshi: "I asked him to find out about the relationships involved in the Li family."
He became the village secretary in his twenties, and he wasn't afraid of offending the Li family, so he must have had connections behind him.
Know yourself and your enemy, and see what tricks they will play.
Lin Yi'an nodded.
Zhou Mingshi looked at her and asked, "Did they bully you when you were little?"
Lin Yi'an paused in turning the pages of her book: "I'm just a kid, they don't respect me, but they bully my parents."
Zhou Mingshi asked, "Have the Li family's children ever bullied you?"
Lin Yi'an: "We're not from the same village. Both villages have their own primary schools, so we don't see each other often. They can't bully me. We did go to the same junior high school, though. That guy today, he used to be in the same grade. He would talk to me about strange things and often bother me. But Zuo Mingyang was a year ahead of us, and he would protect the kids from the village. Later, he dropped out of school because of fighting..."
Zhou Mingshi pulled her into his arms and leaned back on the sofa: "It seems I have to thank Secretary Zuo properly."
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "He's a warm-hearted person. He always protects the children in the village when they are bullied at school."
Zhou Mingshi: "Yi'an has a very good impression of him?"
Lin Yi'an: "The villagers all have a good opinion of him."
Zhou Mingshi nodded.
