"This kid recently came back to visit his grandpa, and since he was home today, I brought him along so he could learn from your two kids. He's the same age as Yuanyuan and not much younger than An'an, so the kids might get along well."
Lin Zheng explained, then patted his son's shoulder in an annoyed tone.
"Lin Pinsheng, call for help!"
Hello, Uncle and Aunt.
Lin Pinsheng had just been reprimanded yesterday, so today he reluctantly gave his father some face and awkwardly addressed Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang as Uncle and Aunt, his attitude nonchalant.
He completely ignored An'an and Yuanyuan.
"What kind of attitude is that? You want to get beaten up again?!"
Lin Zheng glared at him with a dark face, and at the slightest provocation, he wanted to freeze his hands again, so Lin Rong quickly stopped him.
"Brother, why are you getting more and more irritable as you get older? You weren't like this when you were young. Pin Sheng is still young. Can't you talk to him nicely? Besides, this is someone else's house. Is it appropriate to hit a child?"
He remembered that his brother was quite patient when he was taking care of him, but he has become increasingly impetuous over the years.
"It's alright, it's alright. The child has already said goodbye, that's enough. What's there to be angry about? Come sit down and have some snacks. We didn't know what you liked to eat, Pinsheng, so we bought some of everything. Yuanyuan is the same age as you, but she likes to eat these snacks."
Yu Jiu, with a smile, kept trying to smooth things over, urging everyone to sit down and eat at home. It took a while for the atmosphere to liven up. An'an and Yuanyuan sat to the side, the siblings not saying much, eating snacks and whispering to each other.
"Sis, isn't he very rude? Look, he keeps staring at us with a fierce look in his eyes."
Yuanyuan took a bite of a piece of candy and asked vaguely.
An An looked up and met Lin Pinsheng's gaze. An An calmly nodded to him.
"They were definitely looking at us, maybe they were just curious about us. We can't just say they were rude, maybe they just look fierce."
An'an is still kind-hearted and didn't say anything bad about him.
"Okay."
Yuanyuan didn't necessarily want to say anything bad about him. The two siblings ate and chatted, which was quite nice. Occasionally, when they were called upon by the elders, they would say a few words, but they weren't embarrassed. Anyway, they were in their own home, and the two siblings were quite at ease.
Lin Pinsheng felt like he had needles pricking his butt. Half an hour was already his limit. As Yu Jiu spoke, Lin Pinsheng suddenly stood up, his face darkening.
"I'm going out for a walk."
"Don't go! You don't even know the way, why are you wandering around? Can't you even sit still for a little while? Are you trying to go out for a smoke again?!"
Lin Zheng was furious. This good-for-nothing!
Lin Zheng regrets getting married and having this child so much; he'd be better off staying single.
"Yes! What's wrong with smoking!"
Lin Pinsheng also got angry and kicked the table, scattering pistachios all over the floor.
"you!"
Lin Zheng also stood up in a fit of rage. It looked like the father and son were about to fight when Xu Zijiang quickly stopped Lin Zheng and then instructed Yuanyuan and An'an.
“Yuanyuan and Anan, you two take Pinsheng out for a walk. There are only adults here, and it's not interesting for them to listen to us talk. You three children should go out and play for a while. Just remember to come back for dinner on time.”
"Okay!"
An'an and Yuanyuan had been wanting to sneak away for a while. Yuanyuan dragged Lin Pinsheng out, and An'an followed closely behind.
The three hadn't gone far when they could still hear Xu Zijiang scolding Lin Zheng.
"Don't you understand the principle of not disciplining your child in front of others? How would you feel if your father embarrassed you in front of everyone? Children also have self-esteem. If you want to discipline them, you have to do it at home, not in front of me."
"Exactly, bro, you really need to change your temper!"
Lin Rong echoed her, and the group tried to persuade and scold Lin Zheng until they finally calmed him down.
The father and son have been like this every time they meet for the past few years. It's better when they don't see each other, but as soon as they do, they're at each other's throats, full of hostility, and they're ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
He beat up Lin Pinsheng yesterday, and Lin Pinsheng ran away from home, but Lin Rong found him and brought him back. Today, the father and son started arguing again, and Lin Rong felt exhausted.
Having a son like this is tiring for him, and having a father like Lin Zheng is also tiring for him. He is truly fortunate that his wife gave birth to a daughter.
After bringing Lin Pinsheng out, Yuanyuan and An'an didn't know where to go, so they simply asked for his opinion.
"Where would you like to go? We have parks and amusement parks around here, but they are small and don't have many facilities, so they are mostly for children."
Lin Pinsheng didn't reply. Instead, he squatted down by the roadside, took out a cigarette, and puffed away, his face full of arrogance.
He was tall and thin, with a scar near his eye, the cause of which was unknown. His eyes were narrow and long, giving him a criminal-like air, especially the way he smoked—it was so practiced that An'an couldn't help but frown.
She had basically the same reaction when she first saw Xie Chuan smoking, but Xie Chuan looked much better smoking than her. He didn't have the aura of a criminal at all; on the contrary, he looked even more handsome and charming.
However, An'an disliked the smell of smoke, so she forced him to quit. Xu Zijiang didn't smoke at all, only smoking a couple of cigarettes when socializing outside, and he would always let the smoke dissipate before returning home.
Lin Pinsheng noticed An An's gaze, and he suddenly stood up and moved closer to An An.
"What are you doing? If you're going to smoke, then smoke, but don't get so close to my sister. She doesn't like the smell of smoke."
Yuanyuan instinctively stopped him from getting closer. Yuanyuan was a proper sister-complex, and she remembered An'an's likes and dislikes.
Lin Pinsheng ignored the advice and not only moved closer to An'an, but also took a cigarette out of his mouth and blew smoke into An'an's face. His behavior was extremely frivolous and insulting, and An'an and Yuanyuan's expressions immediately turned sour.
"Don't like the smell of smoke? You'll like it after smelling it a few more times. I heard you have a boyfriend, he looks quite innocent, but I didn't expect him to be so outgoing. Has your boyfriend never taken you to smoke? What kind of man doesn't smoke?"
"Why don't you dump him and be with me? My family isn't bad either. My dad likes you so much and praises you every day. He'll definitely like you as his daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter if you're a few years older than me. A woman three years older than me is like a golden brick."
His playful words and actions truly resembled those of a petty thug.
"Neuropathy."
"Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting? If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll beat you up!"
Neither An'an nor Yuanyuan were easy to bully, so they immediately retorted with insults. Yuanyuan even rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight. He was about two centimeters taller than Lin Pinsheng, and also more muscular. His build and strength were very similar to Xu Zijiang's; when he frowned, he exuded an imposing aura.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Maybe my dick is even bigger than his. I can fuck you until you die. You won't lose out if you come with me."
Lin Pinsheng sneered and continued to spew out vulgarities.
"Fuck your mother! Watch your mouth!"
Yuanyuan swung her fist and punched him.
Just then, Xie Chuan suddenly appeared from some corner, grabbed Lin Pinsheng, and punched him directly in the face.
"What did you just say? Do you want to die?!"
