Chapter 152 Lin Lanshan's Fatal Weakness
Laugh it off, but you still have to coax them.
Yang Huiyun gently patted her son's back. "My good son, I was just joking with you. It's all because this fish was disobedient. Look, how about I hit it to vent your anger?"
After saying that, she squatted down with one arm around him and used her hand to pat the fish in the wooden bucket.
"Splash!" Yang Huiyun was splashed with water all over her face. Now, the person being laughed at was no longer Xiaoman, but her.
She was instantly enraged and put Xiaoman down, rolling up her sleeves and grabbing at her with both hands. "Hey! You're just a dish on the table, and you dare to wag your tail at me? I'll stew you right now, you believe it or not!"
"Hahahaha..." Except for Yang Huiyun, everyone was laughing so hard they were doubled over. Even Xiaoman was laughing so hard her gums were showing.
Aunt Zhang looked at her daughter-in-law, who was still playing around, and her grandson, who was grinning foolishly on the side... She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment; she simply couldn't bear to look anymore.
Ignoring the mother and son playing with the fish, he turned to the two sisters and said, "Why did you bring so much? And why did you go through all that trouble to put it in a wooden bucket? It must weigh two or three pounds."
Lin Chunyi blinked and said, "Auntie, we said last time we'd bring you some good fish, we remembered. Live fish can stay for a few more days, so you can eat them slowly."
Aunt Zhang patted her shoulder gently, "If you want braised fish, just come anytime. It's so cold, how can you young girls go into the water to catch it? You'll catch a cold!"
"Mom, I'm going to Yang Yu's house. I won't be back for lunch!" Taking advantage of his mother's good mood, Lin Zhengyong slipped away and ran towards the gate.
"Hey, you brat, if you're so tough, don't come back for dinner tonight!" Aunt Zhang pointed at the door, almost bursting into a tirade.
Zheng Yong and Yang Yu seem to have different personalities, how can they get along so well?
"Zhengyong, wait a minute, let's go together." Lin Chunyi called out towards the door.
He quickly said to Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, sister-in-law, we're going to the county town, so we'll be leaving now."
If we keep chatting like this, we won't be able to leave this door tomorrow...
The two men led the mule cart out the door, and Aunt Zhang called out, "Come over for dinner tonight, I'll make you braised fish. Go on your way, be careful on the road!"
Just what they wanted, hehe~ The two sisters sat in the car without turning their heads, replied "Okay, got it!" and drove away.
Was Lin Zhengyong chased around from a young age? He ran so fast! They had to drive their mule cart for several steps before they caught up.
The mule cart was loud enough that Lin Zhengyong stopped running, turned around with a look of surprise, and said slyly:
"Why are you all out here? Did my mother send you to drag me back?" He glanced behind them, as if afraid his mother might suddenly appear!
The two sisters got out of the car and walked slowly with him.
"Brother Zhengyong, how many times have you escaped death to run so fast? Don't worry, Auntie didn't catch up. We were just on our way to the county town."
"Where are you rushing off to?" Lin Chunyi teased him, holding Taozi's hand, and then asked casually.
Lin Zhengyong casually said, "Go to Yang Yu's house, the new one at the foot of the mountain, you know it, right?"
The two nodded.
He continued, "Yang Yu's family used to be in business, but I don't know how they fell into poverty."
But he's still got a business mindset; that's why, because we're good friends, he's helping me make money.
Lin Chunyi raised an eyebrow and smiled; so that's what it was all about.
It's quite normal for the son of a wealthy merchant to have some business acumen, having grown up surrounded by it. Unexpectedly, Yang Yu was quite forward-thinking, starting to make money so quickly.
Then they wouldn't have to worry about their apprentice running out of money and starving to death.
However, if we're talking about relationships, Lin Zhengyong is definitely more important than Yang Yu.
Lin Zhengyong grew up in a village and his experience in various aspects is somewhat inferior to Yang Yu's; moreover, businessmen are most driven by profit. He might end up getting ripped off and still be foolishly grateful...
Lin Chunyi then reminded him a couple of times, "Oh, I see. Well, this new guy is not bad."
But Zhengyong, don't blame your sister for saying a few words. Even close brothers keep clear accounts when it comes to money, let alone an outsider whose background is unclear.
Even with the best relationships, don't get too carried away; it's always best to be cautious.
"Don't worry, I understand. I'm not stupid. I'll earn the money I can earn, and I won't earn the money I shouldn't! Hehe, my parents taught me that a long time ago." Lin Zhengyong patted his chest.
Let's stop here, after all, nobody likes being lectured.
As they got closer to Yang Yu's house, Lin Chunyi said goodbye, "Then, Brother Zhengyong, you go ahead with your work. We're going to the county town, so we'll be leaving now."
"Okay, you guys go ahead. Don't drive too fast, safety first." Lin Zhengyong waved to them.
Then, looking enviously at the mule cart that was getting further and further away from him, he muttered to himself:
"When I save up more money, I'll buy a mule cart like theirs. I'll also make a nice carriage, and the whole village will be so envious of me."
That smug look in his eyes made it seem as if he had already driven the mule cart around the village three times!
He quickly shook his head and said, "No, mules can't work as well as oxen. Let's buy an oxcart instead; it's more cost-effective, hehe..."
On the wide, sparsely populated road, the mule cart sped towards the county town. Then, about twenty miles from Yuanfeng County, it was stopped by a group of local thugs.
The few passersby could tell there was danger at a glance, and they ran away as fast as they could. Those who wanted to step forward to help were pulled away by their companions and ran off with them.
The two sisters did not get out of the car, but stared coldly at the seven men blocking the middle of the road—one, five, six, seven in total—whose lewd smiles and eyes were darting all over them.
Lin Lanshan got goosebumps from their stares and couldn't help but want to get out of the car and teach them a lesson.
"Don't do it yet." Lin Chunyi grabbed her arm.
"Sis, look at the way they're looking at each other, glancing around like that. They're definitely thinking all sorts of dirty things! They need to be taught a lesson!"
"They haven't even said a word, and they've already started attacking based on just their eyes. That's a bit bullying, it's inappropriate..." Lin Chunyi thought for a moment.
He then shouted at the group of people, "Hey, you guys in front, don't you understand the principle that good dogs don't block the road and packs of dogs shouldn't walk in the middle? How are we supposed to get through if you're blocking the road?"
Lin Lanshan turned her head to look at her sister who had just made a startling remark: "Does that mean that insulting someone doesn't count as bullying?"
However, they may not be highly educated, but they certainly have brains, so these people can understand that they are being called dogs!
They approached each other with faces contorted with rage, hurling vulgarities at each other.
"You bitch, I'm your grandpa..."
"She's got quite a fiery temper, wait until we get into the grove..."
"I'll show you today whether I'm a man or a dog..."
"With your delicate skin and tender flesh, you guys obviously don't have..."
Now there was no need to hold back. The two sisters scooped down and found two bows and several arrows.
The dogs immediately stopped barking.
The few remaining passersby moved on even faster, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lin Lanshan touched her bow, which hadn't hurt anyone in a long time, nocked an arrow, aimed at them, and smiled nonchalantly: "Come on, keep cursing~"
The leader's head was probably a little bigger than his underlings', and he boasted:
"Brothers, we got tricked by that shrew last time because we outnumbered her. This time we outnumber her, just two skinny little women and two broken bows, what are you afraid of!"
The more he spoke, the more arrogant he became. "Tsk, you're such a dark-skinned woman. If it weren't for your good looks, I wouldn't even look at you." There was even a hint of disdain in his tone.
Lin Lanshan gripped the bow tightly, seemingly stunned, and remained silent for a long time.
A group of thugs, seeing her appearance, burst into sharp, ear-piercing laughter, thinking they had successfully insulted a woman.
Lin Chunyi shook her head sadly, put down her bow and arrow, and sighed deeply as she looked up at the sky.
It seems I can't get involved in today's accident; I can only watch while I eat... After all,
"Fear of the dark" is Lin Lanshan's fatal weakness!
