When the three children saw Lin Qin running away with her head in her hands, they hurried over to hug Lin Yi's legs and shoulders, begging desperately.
Everyone cried together.
Chen Wenjun just got home and saw this scene. He was frightened by Lin Qin's miserable appearance. He rushed over and held her in his arms. "What happened?"
As he said this, he looked at Lin Qin with heartache, then at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was so angry that he threw the bamboo stick, "Ask her what good things she has done!"
Lin Qin lowered his head guiltily.
Chen Ruiyu let go of his hand, walked to Chen Wenjun and knelt down.
Chen Wenjun was startled, "What are you doing! Hurry up and get up!"
Chen Ruiyu shook his head and said, "Dad, it's my fault. I put Mom and my brothers and sisters in danger. Go ahead and hit me and scold me!"
Chen Xinyue and Xu Kang also ran over and knelt down.
"Dad, I am also wrong. It has nothing to do with my brother."
"Uncle, there's me too. I'm involved, too. Hit me! I'm tough and can handle it."
Chen Wenjun almost laughed out loud.
"Everyone, get up! Let's go inside and talk."
Everyone moved from the sun into the house.
Seeing that their faces were all red from the sun, Chen Wenjun quickly poured them some water.
The first cup was given to Lin Yi. "Dad, calm down. Let's talk it over."
"What are you talking about!" Lin Yi was furious again, pointing at Lin Qin with trembling fingers, "Do you know what she did? This damn girl actually allowed Ping An to drive a metal boat and hit someone, and she also hit the person who fell into the water with a stick. The person didn't move on the spot, and I don't know if he is dead or not."
Chen Wenjun's hand trembled as he poured the water. He looked at Lin Qin in shock, "Really?"
Lin Qin's expression was somewhat unnatural. She was too guilty to look Chen Wenjun in the eye. "I was just angry for a moment. Chen Yintao and the others were here. I won't die. At most, I'll just suffer a little."
Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to tell him everything that had just happened.
"He Xia and He Yong clearly wanted He Chunhong to get involved with you and Ping An. They didn't expect that we still had that kind of evidence. They were furious. Who told He Yong to throw water all over me before he left?
The children were so angry that they threw stones at him, and he scolded them very harshly.
I could tolerate him scolding me, but not the child! I got so excited that I grabbed a stick and asked Ping An to drive the boat. We chased after him and I hit He Yong a few times.
That bastard was still arrogant, and Ping An was just angry, we didn’t think too much about it at the time, and we won’t do that again in the future.”
If there is a next time, she will chase him with a stick again, but she will persuade him to stay safe.
Lin Yi stood up suddenly and continued to curse, "Can you play with your life just because of your impulse? Do you know how scared I was at that time! The boat hit us so hard that it flew up! The wooden boat sank on the spot.
The three people on the boat fell into the water, and you hit them with a stick! If they died, you would go to jail!"
Chen Wenjun nodded in agreement, "Dad, you are right! Ah Qin really behaved badly this time! I will definitely criticize her severely, and Ping An will also be punished! What a troublesome thing!"
Chen Wenjun carried the mother and son upstairs and strictly forbade Chen Xinyue and Xu Kang to follow.
Lin Yi finally felt relieved and shouted at his two grandchildren, "Go to the fields and work! Don't be lazy!"
The two of them hung their heads and walked out obediently.
In the study.
Chen Wenjun did not teach Lin Qin a lesson. He just looked at Ping An seriously and said, "Kneel down!"
Chen Ruiyu knelt down so quickly.
Chen Wenjun laughed angrily, "Tell me! Where did you go wrong?"
Chen Ruiyu took a deep breath and said word by word: "I was wrong to take my mother and my brothers and sisters into danger. I shouldn't have acted impulsively and shouldn't have joked about my own and everyone else's safety."
Chen Wenjun looked at his son deeply. "You have been smart, calm, and steady like an adult since you were a child, but now you are going backwards! I don't want what happened today to happen again. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Chen Ruiyu admitted his mistake with a very good attitude, and even if Chen Wenjun was extremely angry, he calmed down, waved his hand and asked him to leave.
The couple were the only ones left in the study.
Chen Wenjun reluctantly sat down next to Lin Qin and hugged her in fear, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Lin Qin tilted her head in anger, "I was also mad at that bastard He Yong! And your shameless ex-wife, who said she regretted throwing the child into the water, what a pity! If she really regretted it, would she disappear for so many years?
You don’t know the expression on Ping An’s face when he heard these words. Today I have really broadened my horizons!
I still say that, I can tolerate bullying me, but I can’t tolerate bullying children! Today I deliberately wanted to give He Yong that blow, I just want to tell them clearly that I, Lin Qin, am not someone to be trifled with, if you dare to provoke me, you must be prepared to die with me! "
After venting her anger, her body softened and she hugged Chen Wenjun with her backhand, "Don't worry, I know my limits. The reason I allowed Ping An to crash into the ship was to let him vent his anger. If I don't let him go crazy, this kid might drive himself crazy.
After what happened today, He Chunhong must be scared out of her wits. Plus, we have something on her that she can use against us. I don’t think she’ll dare to come to Ping An’s house and bother him again. I think if she sees Ping An on the street in the future, she’ll be so scared that she’ll turn around and run away.”
Lin Qin felt even more relieved when she thought of He Chunhong’s pale face.
Chen Wenjun asked seriously, "What about you? What if something goes wrong?"
Lin Qin shook her head. "There's no chance of that happening. It hasn't rained recently, so the current is very slow and the water level is relatively low. We all have to hurry up and be ready to jump off the boat at any time. Besides, there are people everywhere around us, and everyone can swim, so it's okay if we fall into the water."
"Having said that, please don't do this kind of thing again in the future." Chen Wenjun had no choice but to persuade Lin Qin in a gentle tone.
Lin Qin nodded honestly.
The only things that could make her angry to the point of losing her mind were those old events. Among those who had hurt them, Liu Yongming had already received the retribution he deserved, and He Chunhong would not cause any more trouble after this incident. Even if she faced those other clowns, she would be able to deal with them rationally.
The couple stayed in the study for a while.
Lin Qin didn't go to work until the afternoon.
In the next few days, Nanyu was calm and peaceful. He Chunhong really never came again, and even He Xia, who was fanning the flames everywhere, calmed down.
It was not until Chen Wenjun took Lin Qin to the village to find Chen Yintao to discuss donating money and holding a banquet that we learned about the follow-up.
"Village chief, do you mean that He Chunhong had a fight with He Yong and He Xia? Her family members even ran back from Xinxu?" Lin Qin felt completely confused.
Chen Yintao nodded with a gossipy look on his face, "It was only after they started making a fuss that everyone knew that He Xia, He Yong, and He Ming, the three families, divided up the house and land of He Hongniang's family.
Now He Hong has brought back her family members to settle the dispute with them, but they have all gone into hiding and are still wrangling." (End of this chapter)
