Li Changqing looked at Wang Cuihua, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Tell us what happened at the Lin family, so we know what went on?"
Wang Cuihua plopped down in a chair, forcibly suppressing her anger, and recounted what had happened at the Lin family's house. After finishing, she angrily slapped her thigh and cursed indignantly, "I'm so angry!"
Li Jian suddenly stood up, his anger blazing, and said, "I'm going to the Lin family to demand an explanation."
Li Changqing's face was grim, his eyes blazing as he glared at Li Jian. "What explanation do you want?"
"Did the Lin family send you to beat and scold Lin Qinghuan, or did your mother and I send you to bully Lin Qinghuan?"
"Go out and ask others if it was right for you to hit and scold Lin Qinghuan."
"Lin Qinghuan has endured countless beatings and scoldings from you since she was a child. She has only taken action against you now because she has reached her limit and can no longer tolerate it. If you do not restrain yourself, next time it will not be as simple as just having a black eye and a swollen face."
After hearing Li Changqing's words, Li Jian insisted on his own opinion and said, "Father, I am not afraid. As long as Lin Qinghuan makes things difficult for Piaoxue, I will still stand up for Piaoxue."
Looking at Li Jian's stubbornness, Li Changqing felt helpless. "Xiao Jian, why are you so stubborn?"
Li Changqing knew all too well that when a person reached the limit of anger, they would do unimaginable things in a moment of impulsiveness. If Li Jian continued to bully Lin Qinghuan without repentance, he would be beaten to a pulp, if not killed.
Who is Lin Lao Er? He is the head of the Lin family, and he makes all the decisions. However, he lets Lin Qinghuan cause trouble because he has seen that Lin Qinghuan has lost hope in them and no longer expects their affection. Once a person is completely disappointed, that is despair. Once a person is in despair, they will be reckless.
Lin Lao Er was wary of Lin Qinghuan; he feared that Lin Qinghuan might do something irreversible in despair and impulsively.
Li Chuchangqing suddenly realized something, his pupils contracted, his expression changed instantly, and he looked abruptly at Li Jian.
Li Jian felt a tightness in his chest when Li Changqing looked at him, and asked nervously, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Changqing asked seriously, "I remember you once said that Lin Qinghuan used a sharp knife to kill his family's big fat pig, which weighed about two hundred pounds?"
Upon hearing Li Changqing's words, Wang Cuihua was startled, her face turning deathly pale. She blurted out, "Is what you just said true? Lin Qinghuan killed her family's pig?"
Li Jian nodded and said, "I heard it from Lin Ming. He warned me repeatedly not to tell anyone, but I don't believe it. How could Lin Qinghuan, a girl, possibly kill a pig with a knife? That's a bloody affair. Not to mention a woman, even a normal man wouldn't dare to kill a pig with a knife. I guess Lin Ming is just making things up."
Li Changqing slapped Li Jian on the head, angrily scolding him with disappointment, "Are you a pig? How can you be so stupid? How could I, Li Changqing, have such a stupid son? You have truly disgraced the Li family ancestors for eighteen generations."
Li Jian rubbed his head, which was sore from being hit, and looked at Li Changqing with dissatisfaction, wondering why he had suddenly hit him.
"Father, what did I say wrong? Why are you hitting me?"
Looking at his own foolish son, who was so stupid that he didn't even realize it, Li Changqing was so angry that he raised his hand to slap Li Jian again, but Li Jian cleverly dodged it and kept a distance from Li Changqing, watching him warily, worried that Li Changqing would chase after him and hit him.
Li Changqing sighed and shook his head, looking at Li Jian with disappointment in his eyes.
"Li Jian, what Lin Ming said is true."
"How could that be?" Li Jian completely disbelieved what Li Changqing was saying.
Wang Cuihua didn't quite believe what Li Changqing said either.
Li Changqing asked, "The Lin family lives right next to our house. We used to always hear Lin Qinghuan being scolded by her family. Do you still hear Lin Qinghuan being scolded now?"
Wang Cuihua and Li Jian looked at each other, realizing that they hadn't heard the Lin family cursing Lin Qinghuan for a while.
Wang Cuihua said in a panic, "My goodness! When did that brat Lin Qinghuan become so bold? She even dares to kill a pig."
“If Li Jian bullies Lin Qinghuan again, I’ll stab him with a knife,” Li Changqing said.
Wang Cuihua's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but shout, "She wouldn't dare! Murder is a crime punishable by imprisonment!"
Li Changqing asked, "Lin Qinghuan has been treated unfairly for a long time and has been suppressing her feelings. Over time, she will feel desperate. When she reaches the point of despair, she will break down. When she breaks down, she will act impulsively. When she acts impulsively, will she care about going to jail?"
Wang Cuihua was speechless upon hearing this. She looked at Li Jian with concern and said, "Xiao Jian, you must never provoke Lin Qinghuan again."
"Mom, I just can't stand Lin Qinghuan making Piaoxue sad and upset every few days." Li Jian was also wary of Lin Qinghuan, but every time Lin Piaoxue confided in him, he couldn't help but feel indignant on her behalf.
Li Changqing rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. He looked at Li Jian with even more disappointment in his eyes. He was truly hopeless! But he couldn't just let things go.
“Li Jian, if you go and provoke Lin Qinghuan again, and something happens, your mother and I won’t clean up your mess,” Li Changqing said solemnly.
Li Jian said, "But..."
Li Changqing interrupted Li Jian, his face showing displeasure, and said, "There are no buts. Lin Piaoxue has parents and three older brothers. They all care about her. Does she need your concern? Besides, Lin Piaoxue's food, clothing, and daily necessities are the best in the entire Baiyun Village. She goes out like a young lady. Use your brain and think about it. If she weren't smart, she would be the one who suffers, not Lin Qinghuan."
