If he hadn't pushed Zhao Hongwei into the water, none of this would have happened. Yuan Hong felt incredibly guilty.
Su Ruojin looked at him: "Yuan Hong, let me ask you, what would have happened if you had backed down and not made a move today?"
Yuan Hong thought for a moment and said, "They will push both me and Xiao Bao into the river."
“You might not be a problem if you fall into the water, but if Xiao Bao falls in, it could be fatal in this cold weather. You acted to protect yourself and your brother, to protect the people you care about. What's wrong with that?” Su Ruojin’s voice was calm and steady.
"While we should be kind to others, it doesn't mean we should always back down when others bully us. Being too weak will only allow bad people to prevail. Sometimes, taking a step back won't bring us a brighter future, but will only lead to others taking advantage of us."
Yuan Hong raised her head, her eyes shining: "Sister Jin, I understand."
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "So you need to practice martial arts even harder. Only when you are strong can you better protect the people we want to protect. You must remember that this world is always a dog-eat-dog world. Bad people will never be moved by kindness. Only fists can make them know to be afraid."
"I've got it, Sister Jin, I'm going to practice martial arts right now." Yuan Hong dashed off to the backyard.
Yanluo said indignantly, "Miss, why don't you let me poison that Madam Zhao too, and see if she still dares to be so arrogant?"
She had wanted to make a move earlier, but since her young mistress hadn't given the signal, Yanluo didn't dare to act rashly.
"Don't worry, some people make her lose what she cares about most, which is more painful than being poisoned." Su Ruojin looked in the direction where Madam Zhao left.
The Zhao family dares to be so arrogant in broad daylight; how could they not have done something dirty behind the scenes?
Since that's the case, she wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to wipe out the entire Zhao family.
Lin Zhengshan's monthly salary was not very high; his mother had spent all her savings raising him.
Later, he married Zhao Jiao, the eldest daughter of the wealthy Zhao family in Yanyang, and life in the mansion became more comfortable.
Zhao Jiao's younger brother, through his connection with Lin Zhengshan, expanded the family business. He would share a portion of his earnings with his sister and brother-in-law, and the Lin family was able to maintain its current prosperity thanks to this money.
If the Zhao family were gone, could Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao still live as comfortably as before?
After leaving the clinic, Madam Zhao went directly to the Lin residence.
Zhao Jiao noticed the redness and swelling on the left side of her face and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what happened to your face?"
Although her younger brother had married more than ten concubines, he still respected Sun Liniang, his legal wife, because she had given him a son, and he would never hit her.
In that case, let alone in the Zhao family mansion, even in Yanyang, no one would dare to hit her, the Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao was furious and kept cursing: "Sister, it was Su Ruojin from the newly opened Ren'ai Medical Clinic who hit me! How dare she, a mere girl, lay a hand on me!"
Zhao Jiao was taken aback and exchanged a glance with Lin Wanqing, who was standing next to her.
Lin Wanqing handed Madam Zhao a cup of tea: "Aunt, please don't rush. Have some tea and tell me slowly. What's wrong with Su Ruojin?"
Madam Zhao finished her tea in one gulp and slammed it down on the table: "That little bitch allowed her brother to push Wei'er into the river. Wei'er is still running a high fever. When I went to her to demand an explanation, she slapped me without saying a word and even poisoned all the guards I brought. Tell me, is there no law here? Is my brother-in-law here? I'm going to sue Su Ruojin for disregarding human life and wantonly poisoning people."
Zhao Jiao was secretly shocked. When did Su Ruojin learn to use poison?
I couldn't help but feel a little scared. Luckily, I kicked her out of the Lin family mansion.
However, since this little bitch is so vicious, it would be a good thing to take this opportunity to get rid of her.
Zhao Jiao knew her nephew's true character, and whether things were really as Madam Zhao described was still unknown.
No matter what, Su Ruojin was once the adopted daughter of the Lin family. If Lin Zhengshan were to handle this matter, and it was truly Su Ruojin's fault, it could be said that he was putting righteousness before family.
But if Zhao Hongwei is at fault, and Lin Zhengshan blindly protects the Zhao family, then he will be accused of shielding the Zhao family.
Now that Lin Zhengshan has a promising promotion, Zhao Jiao is unwilling to let him take that risk.
It would be better to...
