Chapter 108 This sound is like a cat in heat.
"Have you forgotten that the old Lin family used to be like this? But because Lin Dayou was there, these people haven't been in our sight much."
"Now that Lin Dayou has severed ties with them and isn't helping them anymore, they naturally have to take matters into their own hands..."
"Yes, Lin Jiyong's family has always been selfish and self-serving. It's just that Lin Dayou, that outlier, made us forget about the original character of Lin Jiyong's family..."
When the people of Wutong Village talked about Old Man Lin, they all shook their heads, saying that the family's character was really bad.
The main characters in the scandal had all left, and there was no more excitement to watch, so everyone started heading home.
It was the middle of the night, and although putting out the fire was exhausting, seeing such news of the explosion made it all worthwhile.
"They're all gone, they've all left." Yang Xiaofeng also walked out of the grove with a look of lingering reluctance.
"Okay, let's go. It's getting late. We need to get you home quickly so my parents don't get impatient waiting at home..." Lin Luoxi followed after her.
Lin Wenqian came out a step behind Lin Luoxi, followed by Xie Hanchuan.
The four quickened their pace and headed towards Yang Xiaofeng's house.
It was too dark, so Lin Luoxi only escorted them to the gate of the courtyard. When she saw someone come out to open the door at Yang Xiaofeng's house, she assumed it was another member of Yang Xiaofeng's family and turned around to leave with Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan.
Without having the time to look around where Yang Xiaofeng lived, they hurried back.
"Second sister, are Father and Mother asleep?" On the way, Lin Wenqian asked Lin Luoxi with a puzzled look. Why didn't he see his parents come out to see what was going on before such a big thing happened?
"Probably not. It's just that I heard it was related to the Lin family, so I didn't come to join in the fun..." Lin Luoxi casually brushed off Lin Wenqian's question.
"Uncle Dayou probably doesn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family, that's why he didn't come..." After all, if Lin Dayou had come, this matter probably wouldn't have ended so quickly.
The three of them discussed the events of the evening in hushed tones. Time passed quickly, and they soon returned to the outside of the Lin family compound.
Xie Hanchuan knew it was late and it would be impolite to disturb them any longer, so he said goodbye to Lin Wenqian and Lin Luoxi and went home.
"Why are you so late coming back?" The commotion of Lin Luoxi and the other two outside the courtyard also attracted the attention of the family. Lin Dayou came out and asked with concern when he saw Lin Luoxi.
"Dad, something big happened tonight, don't you know? Haven't you heard any news?" Lin Luoxi saw that Lin Dayou's face showed no expression other than worry.
"What's the matter? Your mother and I are too busy at home to listen to any news." Since the family split up, Lin Dayou has rarely been out late at night except for important matters.
"It was your former brother who was with a woman from the next village tonight..." Lin Luoxi told Lin Dayou everything that happened tonight without any hesitation.
He repeatedly warned against lending money to those kinds of families, saying that once it started, it would happen countless times.
Lin Wenqian, who had stood up, also took the opportunity to tell the story of Lin Daguang's secret plot with that woman in the reeds.
Lin Dayou, Lin Wangshi, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning all looked furious upon hearing Lin Wenqian's words.
Although they weren't present at the scene, hearing Lin Wenqian's description, they could vividly picture Lin Daguang's vicious expression. They gritted their teeth and thought Lin Daguang's injuries today were relatively minor…
"Dayou, Dayou..." Lin Luoxi had only finished half of brainwashing Lin Dayou when the old lady Lin's mournful cries came from outside the courtyard, making Lin Luoxi roll her eyes.
The sound was like a cat in heat, giving Lin Luoxi goosebumps. She gave Lin Dayou a look that said "good luck," and went to wash up.
"Turn off the lights right away, everyone go back to your rooms and sleep." Not only did Lin Luoxi get goosebumps when she heard Old Mrs. Lin's voice, but even Lin Dayou felt a chill run down his spine when he heard it.
They quickly urged Lin Wenqian and the others to return to their rooms, pretending that they were already asleep and hadn't heard anything.
"Father, it seems it's too late." Lin Wenqian almost screamed when he saw the old lady's head appear on the wooden wall of their courtyard, staring at them menacingly.
Lin Dayou, Lin Wangshi, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning followed Lin Wenqian's gaze and saw the head that had appeared out of nowhere. They were so frightened that they retreated one after another.
"Dayou, Dayou, you ungrateful wretch! I've been calling you outside for ages, why don't you answer me?" Old Mrs. Lin started complaining to Lin Dayou when she saw that his family had finally noticed her.
I guess he knew I was coming to ask for a favor, so he didn't put on airs like he used to, and his attitude was much better than before.
"Aunt Lin, what are you doing climbing my yard wall in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Lin Dayou was increasingly disgusted with the behavior of this old lady Lin.
Instead of inviting anyone in immediately, he stood in the courtyard, gazing at them from afar, and asked without any expression.
"You ungrateful wretch! Are you planning to keep me out of your house now?!" Old Mrs. Lin noticed Lin Dayou's attitude and reverted to her usual arrogant tone, pointing at Lin Dayou from outside the courtyard wall and scolding him.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Lin had returned to her former self, Lin Dayou finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the Old Mrs. Lin he knew.
However, despite being familiar with her, he had no intention of letting Old Mrs. Lin into his home. He simply stood in the courtyard, watching Old Mrs. Lin go crazy.
"You ungrateful wretch! Even if you won't let me in, your older brother was beaten half to death today. As his own brother, you..."
When Grandma Lin saw Lin Dayou standing motionless in her yard, her anger, which she had managed to suppress, flared up again.
“Aunt Lin, you must have forgotten that our family has nothing to do with you anymore. Where would I get any brothers…” Lin Dayou remembered Lin Luoxi’s words and knew he would never help the Lin family in the slightest.
Standing to the side, Lin Wenqian nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Lin Dayou's attitude. It seemed that Lin Dayou had grown a lot during this period.
"Clang, clang..." Before Lin Wenqian could be happy for long, he heard the sound of someone smashing wood and looked in the direction of the old lady Lin again.
The section of the courtyard wall where Old Mrs. Lin had appeared earlier had now collapsed, crushing a large chunk of the flowers that Lin Luoxi had brought back from the mountains to plant.
"Bad person, bad person, you crushed my flowers!" Lin Luoning had promised Lin Luoxi that she would take good care of the flowers Lin Luoxi brought back.
