"Enough, enough!" Ma Dexiang, who was at the center, received Lin Guoqing's gaze and quickly shouted to disperse the onlookers.
"We've already called the police, they'll be here soon, so just stop it! If anyone gets hurt, it'll be your fault!"
…
Lin Shumei was still looking back at the field, and curiously asked her brother and sister-in-law, one of whom was carrying her bag and the other was helping her go home, "So what happened today?"
Qin Hong: "Two thieves came from the village, thinking everyone was asleep, and pried open Uncle Jinshui's door. Uncle Jinshui yelled at them and chased them out with a kitchen knife. My aunt even used a loudspeaker to call for help, and the whole village got up."
What she didn't finish saying was that the two thieves fled to the edge of the field in a panic, and were soon caught by the big guys in the field. They found a nearby electric pole, and several young men carried the people and tortured them for a long time, making the two thieves cry out in pain.
Then they were stripped naked and tied to a telephone pole, where anyone could slap them or hit them with a branch.
Before Lin Shumei and the others showed up, one of them was still crying and begging them to call the police.
But these are not for her, an unmarried girl. Didn’t you see Lin Shuchao winking at her? Sure enough, she must be her biological sister.
"Why did you suddenly come back today? And with that kid Xu Xuejun?" Lin Guoqing caught up with him from behind and asked immediately. The main thing was that it was so late, it was already eleven o'clock.
When it comes to this, Lin Shumei is filled with grievances, hugs Qin Hong's arm and begins to cry.
"Dad...you don't know how miserable I am today..."
Lin Shumei chattered for almost an hour, and the "only" three people left at home listened to her patiently. During this time, Qin Hong even went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of noodles.
The moment she ate the food, Lin Shumei wanted to cry again.
"Sister-in-law... you don't know how miserable my life is in the provincial capital... I eat at the fast food restaurant downstairs from our company every day... and I have to run fast, otherwise there's nothing to choose from..."
Those who knew Lin Shumei thought she was in the provincial capital, while those who didn't thought she had gone to some remote mountain village.
It’s a good thing Chen Chunhua isn’t here. If she were, she would have to deal with this girl who loves to play the victim.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Just give me a call and I'll pick you up!"
Lin Shuchao looked at her unhappily. It was just a short distance. He could go there early in the afternoon and pick her up at 5 o'clock. He would be able to have a hot meal at home at 8 o'clock. He could be dreaming about it now.
It's not like now, where I spent a lot of money and still worked until midnight covered in dust.
"No, there's also Xu Xuejun..." Lin Shumei muttered while stuffing noodles into her mouth.
"What's wrong with Xuejun? I drive a four-wheel drive, not a motorcycle! Is there any problem with bringing it back along the way?" Lin Shuchao looked at her sideways. As a "veteran" who was only a few years older than her, he always felt that this statement was strange in every way.
"You can't be..."
"Ah! Lin Shumei raised her head quickly and stared at the three people at the table.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
The three of them looked at her nervously, and Lin Shuchao's previous little doubt disappeared in an instant.
"I forgot to give the money to Xu Xuejun. The taxi fare was 100 yuan and the tricycle fare was 150 yuan, so he paid for the total of 250 yuan. I forgot to give him my half."
Lin Guoqing sighed, "I thought it was something serious... It's okay, just go upstairs and sleep after you finish eating. I'll give him the money tomorrow when I pass by his house on my way to work."
"Okay! Thanks, Dad!" Lin Shumei nodded decisively, and sweetly praised her sister-in-law's noodles for being delicious. Then she wiped her lips and went upstairs to sleep.
Qin Hong took the bowl to wash, and the father and son at the table were still staring at each other.
"Dad, I think something's wrong with my little sister."
Lin Guoqing: "...What's going on?"
"Just her and that kid Xu Xuejun!"
"That's enough. You said your sister... ahem..." Lin Guoqing rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
"Isn't it normal for people from the same village to come back together? Didn't you hear Shumei say it was stupid? If we split the cost equally, 125 each, it would be a much better deal! Stop bringing up this and that situation all the time! You're making things worse even when nothing's wrong!"
Lin Shuchao: ...
"Alright! It's almost time for you two to go to bed. I'm going to bed too."
Lin Guoqing originally slept in the factory, but the factory was in the village, and when things suddenly got chaotic outside, he ran out to join in the fun.
Now that he is at home, he will definitely not leave his Simmons mattress unused and go back to the factory to sleep on a camp bed.
Didn’t my daughter just say that she came to see him?
Humph~ She's kind-hearted, so why don't you take her for a drive tomorrow? How about going to Shanghai to find Chunhua?
He won't be looked down upon for running around for no reason if he takes his daughter with him, right?
The result was that Lin Shumei was exhausted from the night before and refused to rush back and forth again. She said that the two days were actually only one and a half days, and she had to go back on Sunday afternoon, so she might as well just stay at home and be lazy for two days.
Although Lin Guoqing wanted to find a wife, he also felt sorry for his daughter, so he didn't force her to go with him. Instead, he provided his daughter with good food and drink for two days, then washed the car, basked in the sun, and prepared to slowly send his daughter back on Sunday afternoon.
Lin Shumei was contentedly lazy for two days. She slept until she woke up naturally every day and had food to eat when she went downstairs. She didn’t have to think about work or study. It turned out that home was the best place to be!
She didn't even remember that she still owed Xu Xuejun 175 yuan. Anyway, her father said he would give it to her, so she would definitely not let him get it.
When she recovered her strength, she opened her father's car door with a rosy face and a lot of bags, and then,
Saw Xu Xuejun.
"...Why are you in my dad's car?"
Lin Guoqing turned around and glared at his daughter. How could this girl talk like that? She has no manners at all.
"You all came back together, why can't you go together? Isn't this just on the way?"
Lin Shumei: ...She has actually always been curious about one thing: why didn’t she invite anyone to go with her in the past two years?
Xu Xuejun sat obediently in the back seat, grinning, "I'm shameless, so I just took Uncle Lin's car with me."
"Oh! You kid! What are you talking about! When our families were having dinner together, your dad and I were still little! We can't even tell who is coming from where!" How can this kid talk so well!
"Shumei, hurry up and get in the car! If we leave early, we can still make it in time for dinner!"
Xu Xuejun smiled with his eyes curved.
"Then I'll trouble you today, uncle."
