Lin Zheng's son took a liking to An An and harassed her, so Xie Chuan beat him up.
Xie Chuan also heard his insulting words. He was even more ferocious in a fight than Yuan Yuan, after all, he used to be the school bully. Lin Pinsheng was also unwilling to be beaten, and the three of them wrestled together. In the end, Yuan Yuan and Xie Chuan worked together to pin him to the ground and beat him so badly that his teeth almost fell out.
Xie Chuan wanted to continue hitting him, but An An, fearing things would get complicated, quickly stopped the two of them.
"Alright, alright, stop hitting him. That's enough. Let him go. If we hurt him, we'll have to pay him back. It's not worth it."
"Pay up! I have plenty of money to pay! You deserve to be beaten to death!"
Xie Chuan's temper flared up, and he couldn't control it anymore.
An'an pinched him, and he reluctantly let go of Lin Pinsheng.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you I had guests coming today and couldn't keep you company?"
An'an changed the subject.
"I had nothing to do at home, so I thought I'd come and check on you, just in case you were free. I never expected to run into this foul-mouthed brat. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have knocked all his teeth out!"
"By the way, who is he? Where did he come from? I've never seen him before."
However, Lin Pinsheng isn't in much better shape either; his face is bruised and swollen. His teeth are bleeding and loose; although they haven't fallen out, they've still suffered significant damage.
He simply lay down on the ground and refused to get up, giving up entirely.
“He is a guest in our family. His father and my parents are old acquaintances. He even lived in our hometown for a period of time before. I never expected that Uncle Lin would have such a son.”
An'an glanced at him, a touch of melancholy in her eyes. In her memory, both Uncles Lin Zheng and Lin Rong were good people. Although she hadn't seen them for many years, she still remembered a little bit of what happened when she was little. They had both comforted her and bought her candy; they were both gentle and kind people.
However, Lin Pinsheng is completely different from his father.
"Good bamboo produces bad shoots."
Xie Chuan sneered.
"Since his father knows your family, I'll take him home and let his father teach him a lesson! We can't let him get away with this!"
"That's right! We can't let him get away with this!"
This time, Xie Chuan and Yuan Yuan ignored An An's advice and dragged him home. The adults were a little surprised to see the children return so quickly, but when they came in and saw the injuries on his face, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang immediately stood up.
"How did Pin Sheng get hurt? Did you guys get into a fight?"
"No way, did Pin Sheng offend someone?"
Yuanyuan and An'an are good children, how could they possibly fight with him? Lin Zheng and Lin Rong, as his father and uncle, couldn't believe it and were more inclined to believe that he had a conflict with someone else.
"Let me tell you, Uncle Xu. This guy spoke rudely to An'an, saying those vulgar things. I happened to hear it, and Yuanyuan and I beat him up. I hope he apologizes to An'an, and I also hope his father can discipline him properly! He doesn't look like a child. If he speaks so recklessly to everyone, I don't know when he'll be beaten to death outside."
Xie Chuan's words were anything but polite, and Lin Zheng and Lin Rong's expressions were also a bit unpleasant. They had been humiliated so directly, and by a mere young upstart at that.
However, judging from his appearance, the two could guess that he must be An'an's boyfriend. Since their child was in the wrong, Lin Zheng was both angry and ashamed, and immediately forced Lin Pinsheng to apologize to An'an.
"Quickly apologize to your sister An'an!! I can overlook your smoking, but it's unacceptable to talk nonsense to a young girl like that, especially An'an!"
"Why should I apologize? I won't apologize, but they beat me up like this, why don't they apologize to me? Whose father are you anyway? Am I your biological child?"
Lin Pinsheng questioned.
"If you weren't my biological son, I would have beaten you to death long ago!"
Lin Zheng forced him to apologize to An An, but Lin Pinsheng was stubborn and wouldn't say a word. In the end, Lin Zheng slapped him across the face.
Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu were caught in a dilemma: they couldn't stop him, nor could they not. In the end, they also had their own grievances against Lin Pinsheng. But it was neither easy nor good to just watch Lin Zheng beat the child; the two families had a close relationship, and if they kept going back and forth, they would become enemies.
In the end, Xu Zijiang stopped him. Lin Zheng couldn't let his son apologize, so he apologized to An'an, Yu Jiu, and Xu Zijiang himself. Then he pulled Lin Pinsheng away without looking back, too ashamed to stay and eat.
I came here just to have a casual visit, but it turned out like this.
Since he had already left, Lin Rong naturally wouldn't stay either. She quickly followed him out, saying she would come back to apologize in person next time.
Yuanyuan thought to herself, "Please don't come, and if you do, please don't bring that jerk along. He'll make everyone unhappy."
"What kind of mess is this?!"
Yu Jiu sighed. She knew that Lin Zheng's son was now unruly, smoking, drinking, and fighting, but she never expected that he could say such lewd things to the child of her father's old friend.
They're hopeless; they have absolutely no manners.
"Is An'an alright? Did he bully her?"
Yu Jiu beckoned An An over, sat down next to her, touched her little face, and comforted her just like when she was a child.
"No, he just said it offhand, and Xie Chuan and Yuan Yuan both helped me fight back."
An An shook her head.
"here you go!"
Xu Zijiang praised him, saying that this was the time to retaliate and teach him a lesson, otherwise he would think he could do whatever he wanted to anyone. His precious daughter had been made a lewd joke, and Xu Zijiang wanted nothing more than to hit him himself, but Lin Zheng struck first, which prevented him from doing so.
"Why don't you stay for lunch today?"
Xu Zijiang gave Xie Chuan a rare kind look and invited him to stay for dinner. Usually, when Xie Chuan came over, Xu Zijiang would either have a stern face or a long face. There was no reason for him to invite Xie Chuan to stay for dinner. If Xie Chuan hadn't been so shameless and came every time, Xu Zijiang probably wouldn't have been able to step into the Xu family's house.
"Okay, Uncle."
Xie Chuan nodded steadily, though he couldn't help but feel happy inside. He had finally gained some approval from his father-in-law; it wasn't easy.
An'an was also very happy.
"Dad, he recently learned how to make cumin ribs. How about we have him show off his skills for you at lunchtime? I think it tastes pretty good, but it's still not as good as yours, Dad. Why don't you give him some pointers? I really want to eat Dad's ribs!"
An'an sweetly ordered, praising both her boyfriend and her father without making him jealous—a win-win situation. Sure enough, Xu Zi fell for it.
"Okay, then we'll have cumin ribs for lunch. Let Xie Chuan make them, and Dad will guide him so he can make them taste just like Dad's!"
That way, An'an will be married into the family, and she won't have to adapt to the different food preferences.
They say that boiling a frog in lukewarm water works, and before we knew it, even Xu Zijiang had tacitly agreed that An'an would marry Xie Chuan, and Xie Chuan was finally going to make it big.
