Chapter 129 The Greedy Lin Youtian
Lin Dazhuang missed the oxcart back to the village and had to travel with Wan Qiqi.
As soon as the mule cart reached the village entrance, someone reminded him, "Dazhuang, why are you only coming back now? Hurry home, your father is furious!"
Without saying a word, Lin Dazhuang jumped off the mule cart and ran home.
Only after the figure disappeared into the mud house did Wan Qiqi turn her gaze back to Aunt Fengxian, who was still lingering at the village entrance, and ask, "Did his father get angry if we were a little late?"
Aunt Fengxian sighed and said earnestly, "You know, his father has never liked you... Your Chen family was furious when they heard that he went to Baizhi Town with you!"
Not many people knew that Lin Dazhuang had gone to Baizhi Town with her, one of whom was Aunt Zhang!
Wan Qiqi didn't need to think too much to know who was talking so much.
She jumped off the mule cart and said to Chen Yongxing, "You go home first, I'm going to the Lin family."
Chen Yongxing looked back at the things on the mule cart, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take the mule cart home and go with you."
"No need, just wait for me at home, nothing will happen."
Wan Qiqi felt that she could handle people of Lin Youtian's caliber, but it would be better if there were fewer people like Xie Xing.
"Okay." Chen Yongxing agreed and drove off in his mule cart, but in his heart he was thinking about hurrying back to deliver the mule cart so he could go with them.
Although my sister-in-law is quick-witted, she is still a woman, and Uncle Lin is capable of hitting people, so there's no guarantee he won't lay a hand on her!
Now that he is the only adult male in the family, he naturally has to take good care of things at home so as not to worry his older brother who is away.
When Wang saw that Chen Yongxing had just returned and hadn't unloaded the things from the mule cart, he rushed out. When he didn't see his eldest daughter-in-law return, he thought something had happened and hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Yongxing, where are you going?"
As Chen Yongxing walked briskly, he turned back and said, "Mom, it's alright. I'm just wandering around. Please prepare dinner at home and wait for us to come back!"
Wang chased after him for a few steps, but because he was walking too fast, she couldn't catch up. She only vaguely heard Chen Yongxing tell her to stay home and cook dinner and wait for them to come back.
them?
Could it be that the eldest and third brothers have returned?
Wang took two more steps, but the person had already disappeared ahead.
She took a couple of deep breaths to catch her breath, then turned and slowly walked back, sighing, "I'm getting old... I'm getting old..."
Halfway up the mountain, the Lin family's house.
Just as Lin Dazhuang arrived at his doorstep, a straw sandal came towards him.
He dodged to the side and saw Lin Youtian standing menacingly in the yard, holding a wooden stick.
Guan Linzhaodi's house remained closed, with a broken wine bottle at the door.
Lin Dazhuang was startled.
Dad's been drinking again!
Although the family didn't have much money, Lin Youtian never stopped drinking. Every time he finished drinking, he would start acting crazy and hitting people, and no one could stop him.
At this moment, Lin Youtian smelled of alcohol, but the odor was very faint, and he seemed quite sober, though he appeared to be very angry.
Lin Dazhuang's legs went weak, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "Father..."
"You still know how to come back?" Lin Youtian's hand, gripping the wooden stick, veins bulging, stepped forward. "What did I tell you this morning? Where's the grain?"
He tapped the haystack in the yard with a wooden stick, "You've got some nerve, daring to go to Baizhi Town! Are you trying to ruin your sister's plans?"
Upon hearing him mention Lin Zhaodi, Lin Youtian immediately said, "Father... Third Sister can't marry into that family, that person is almost dead..."
"So what? Isn't it good to be a widow and enjoy life?" Lin Youtian had already thought it through. Even if the man she married died, her daughter would be a widow of a wealthy family, and she could support the family in the future.
"Dad!" Lin Dazhuang never expected to hear such words from her own father. Couldn't he even think about his daughter's feelings?
The Lin family managed to avoid starvation during the famine by marrying off their daughters, but this also strained the bond between the two daughters, causing them to despise the family. Lin Zhaodi's marriage was euphemistically called a marriage, but in reality, it was a sale.
Lin Dazhuang felt that his family was falling apart little by little in his own father's hands, and he would never see what his family would look like again!
Lin Youtian pointed a stick at Lin Dazhuang and shouted, "Calling me won't do any good. I'm telling you, starting tomorrow, you're staying home and not going anywhere!"
Lin Dazhuang sneered and muttered, "You might as well sell me too!" He didn't want to stay in this house anymore, and he couldn't stay any longer!
Lin Youtian was shocked to hear this, finding it hard to believe that his son had said such a thing!
Wasn't what he did for the sake of his family and for his son?
What do you mean by "let's just sell him off too!"
Lin Youtian was filled with rage, his grip on the wooden stick tightened, and he shouted, "You unfilial son!" He rushed over and swung the stick at Lin Dazhuang.
As Lin Dazhuang watched the wooden stick fall, the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished.
He slowly lowered his head.
One, two, three...
Lin Youtian knocked Lin Dazhuang to the ground, venting his anger.
Lin Dazhuang silently endured the beatings; the pain from the blows on his body was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
"stop!"
Wan Qiqi's loud shout made Lin Youtian pause.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Yongxing snatched the wooden stick and pushed Lin Youtian, causing him to crash into a haystack.
Lin Youtian was caught off guard by the push and stood there stunned.
After a while, he saw Chen Yongxing help Lin Dazhuang up and then he understood what had happened.
He looked up, staring intently at Wan Qiqi, his eyes filled with undisguised anger, "You venomous woman, what are you planning to do now!"
"He's your own son! How could you hit him so hard!"
When Chen Yongxing lifted Lin Dazhuang's back, Wan Qiqi also saw it; his back was covered with red welts, and it looked painful.
