Chapter Fifty-Three: What Happened to Lin Sanlang
"Don't worry, little sister. Once Baozhu is married, I'll definitely teach her a lesson. We don't tolerate lazy people in our family. But you have to clean up your own mess. Hanging out with that scoundrel all day, if it weren't for me and the family covering for you, your reputation would be ruined long ago. Only that stupid Lin Sanlang would believe that you and that kid are innocent."
Standing next door, Lin Baozhu listened to Yang Chunyan's words and clicked her tongue, saying, "Third brother, I didn't expect this woman to be so cunning. If you marry her in the future, you won't have to worry about not being cuckolded."
She still remembered how Lin Sanlang had insisted on marrying no one but her, which had infuriated Lin's mother.
Lin Sanlang looked at Yang Chunyan's house with a livid face, but unfortunately it was blocked by an earthen wall.
He softened his tone and said, "Little sister, I was wrong, please let me go. Who would have thought that Yang Chunyan was just pretending in front of us? She is too vicious and is not like us."
"Will you still marry me?"
Lin Sanlang shook his head like a rattle drum.
That venomous woman, how many lives does she have?
"They say the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. I never thought someone as beautiful as her could be so vicious. From now on, your brother here has seen through the illusions of the world."
"Some monks do make a lot of money, and the key is that their kidney tonics are also very effective. Seven days, wow, what does that mean?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Sanlang secretly said, "Little sister, I have a friend who really needs this kind of medicine..."
Lin Baozhu: ? ? Making up a friend out of thin air? ?
She looked at Lin Sanlang with suspicion. If Lin Erlang might be lacking in some aspects, Lin Sanlang's large physique made him seem like someone who couldn't perform.
Noticing Lin Baozhu's gaze, Lin Sanlang stiffened and chuckled dryly, "Actually, my friend doesn't really need this. Little sister, Mother must have finished making dumplings by now. Let's hurry back."
“I definitely have to go back, but I can’t swallow this insult. I’m always the one scheming against others, and no one has ever schemed against me.”
Lin Sanlang glared at her fiercely: "What do you want to do? Little sister, you might as well show your face now!!"
Lin Baozhu sneered, took out four firecrackers and a homemade tinderbox from her bag, and then lit one and threw it into the Yang family's yard. The last one had a loud bang, and some of the mud on the adobe house fell off...
"Which bastard blew up my outhouse...?"
Then came a flurry of footsteps, and Lin Sanlang grabbed Lin Baozhu and ran away down a side path...
You can faintly hear people asking whose family has died.
In the village, if someone suddenly sets off four firecrackers, it means that someone in that family has passed away.
Along the way, Lin Baozhu kept glancing at Lin Sanlang, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother, aren't you sad?"
"I feel a little down, but I'm mostly glad that I found out what kind of people they are before I got married. If I had found out after the wedding, it would have been too late."
My mother used to urge me to go on blind dates, but those women either disliked that I didn't have a job or that I was dull.
Later I met Yang Chunyan. Far from looking down on me, she would shower me with compliments whenever I helped her with anything. "Little sister," she'd say, "no one has ever praised me like that before." At the time, I thought that when choosing a wife, it didn't matter if she was ugly or beautiful, as long as I was happy with her. But it turned out… it was all a trap someone had dug beforehand, just waiting for me to lead you into it.
What he didn't say was that it was very likely that Yang Chunyan's older brother had taken a liking to Baozhu, which was why Yang Chunyan deliberately approached him with the aim of getting Baozhu to marry into their family.
Lin Baozhu put her arm behind her head and said nonchalantly, "Third Brother, it's good that you've thought it through. However, Yang Chunyan's family probably won't let this go easily. If she asks you out alone during this time, don't go. What if they accuse you of indecent assault? They'll either make you marry Yang Chunyan or shoot you. What will you do then?"
Boys, you need to take care of yourselves when you're out and about.
"I understand. During this time, I will either go to the black market at night or help my mother with farm work during the day. I won't leave the village at other times, and I won't go even if someone calls me!"
"That's good."
However, did the Yang family really think that throwing away a few firecrackers would appease her anger?
She's the kind of person who takes revenge on the same day she has a grudge; if too much time passes, she's afraid she'll forget.
Let's deal with Bi Yuntao and the Yang family first.
When she got home, Lin Baozhu told her mother everything she had heard. Her mother glared at Lin Sanlang and said through gritted teeth, "I made you go on so many dates with girls, but you were like someone trying to find gold in shit. What did you pull out? Nothing but shit!"
Lin Sanlang hung his head as he was scolded. Lin Baozhu had no intention of helping him out. She picked up a plate of dumplings and walked towards the room where Qin Haifeng was recuperating.
"Try it quickly, the sweet and salty flavors are just right. My mother's filling-making skills are among the best in the village."
As she spoke, she picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.
Qin Haifeng ate them one after another. There were very few vegetables in these dumplings; they were almost all meat. He didn't know how Lin's mother had wrapped them, but the filling had clumped together into a small ball. One bite was so satisfying.
I'll eat the rest myself.
Upon hearing this, Lin Baozhu placed the chopsticks in his hand...
Qin Haifeng said while eating, "I heard everything you were saying outside. These days, even if you haven't done anything wrong, you could get arrested for hooliganism if they report you. Now that you're being targeted by that family, and your brother is avoiding them, what if they get desperate and go to the commune to report your brother for hooliganism? What are you going to do then?"
Lin Baozhu snorted: "I already know they're trying to trap us, how could I give them a chance to turn the tables on us? I heard today that Yang Chunyan is having an affair with a hoodlum. She wants my brother to be her fall guy, and she's also trying to scheme against me. Since that's the case, I'll just send them all to the farm for reform!"
Qin Haifeng said with admiration, "That's the right thing to do. Being soft-hearted towards the enemy is being cruel to yourself. My injuries will heal in two or three days. I'll be with you then..."
Lin Baozhu waved her hand. It wasn't that she didn't trust Qin Haifeng, but some things were better resolved as soon as possible to avoid complications.
"You should focus on recovering. Don't even think about going out right now. Okay, eat slowly..."
After lunch, Lin's mother and Lin Baozhu worked together to marinate wild boar and render lard. The mother and daughter chatted as they worked.
They were busy until past noon when the work bell rang. Lin Sanlang picked up his military water bottle and straw hat and said, "Mother, you and my little sister didn't get a break at noon, so don't go to work this afternoon."
Knowing that he was acting out of guilt and that he wasn't hopelessly stupid, Lin's mother naturally went along with it.
"Alright, go ahead and do it."
After Lin Sanlang left, Lin's mother sighed and said, "Your third brother has a hard life..."
