Chapter 182: “the Light Of Justice Shines Upon Him”
Lin Zhao gave a thumbs up to Second Brother.
“I didn’t expect Second Brother to handle things so efficiently, impressive.”
Lin Shisheng’s brows overflowed with helplessness, “You know, finding a job really depends on luck. Good luck means smooth sailing, bad luck means waiting two or three years without even a chance.”
He smiled at Lin Zhao, “It was also stimulated by Eldest Brother having a job. Eldest Son and you are both workers, Third Son gets an allowance every month, Fourth Son has medical skill, even without a job they won’t starve, leaving just me…”
“I can’t bring shame to our parents, so I put my heart into it, and effort pays off for the dedicated, I got it.
“Though it’s just a temporary worker position…”
“Temporary worker is not bad, much better than going to the fields to earn work points, guaranteed income rain or shine, and crucially, it comes with tickets, so later when Xuanxuan and Zheng Zheng need something, it’s convenient.”
Lin Zhao nodded in agreement, “Indeed.”
Transportation Team’s feeder, the places they go aren’t too remote, buying anything is convenient, the best job.
“Second Brother, work hard, strive to become permanent soon. If you need financial support, come find me, family siblings, no interest charged.”
Lin Shisheng: “…”
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” Lin Zhao yawned, slowly getting up, “There’s still one room left, Second Brother sleep in that one, go to bed early tonight, tomorrow we still have things to do.”
Lin Shisheng: “…” Putting the catching adulterers matter so violently, thanks for considering my feelings.
Lin Shisheng was also big-hearted, drank the brown sugar water in one go, sweetly drifting off to sleep, head hitting the pillow and he was out.
Next Door Room.
Gu Chenghuai wasn’t asleep, sat up reading a book, heard footsteps and looked over.
“Talk finished.”
Lin Zhao walked to the bedside, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, removed the hair tie, lay down.
“I’m going tomorrow to tear Qiu Lian’s face to shreds, you stay home and take care of the children.”
Gu Chenghuai: “?”
(◇)?
Full head of question marks looking over.
“What’s the situation?”
Lin Zhao was righteous and bold, “Lin Family and Qiu Family have torn faces. Qiu Lian did something shameless, disregarding Second Brother and Lin Family’s reputation, of course settle new and old grudges together!”
“When she married over, she didn’t cause less trouble for me and our parents, beating her once is going easy.”
First beat her up, then send her and that adulterer together to the farm.
In the original book, the adulterer and adulteress harmed his Second Brother like this, and also killed Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng this pair of sisters, this lifetime those two must be locked down, no choice if not.
Gu Chenghuai didn’t stop his wife, his words revealed worry, “Just you and Second Brother?”
After all, it’s Qiu Family’s turf, he feared Zhaozhao getting hurt by mistake.
“There’s also Second Brother’s friend.” Lin Zhao said, “Qiu Lian and that person are locked in the brigade warehouse, reliable people guarding. Evidence is solid, no one will speak for them.”
These days people’s moral standards are still very high, of course they also love watching spectacles, when encountering cheaters, excited like digging up gold, all rushing over.
Gu Chenghuai was silent, silence carrying a bit of speechlessness, toward Qiu Family people.
…Stupid.
“Sleep.”
Lin Zhao adjusted her sleeping position, hugged Gu Chenghuai’s waist, closed her eyes.
The man took the palm-leaf fan and slowly fanned.
Waves of coolness brushed over her body, Lin Zhao opened one eye, curved her eyes smiling.
“Not sleepy?” Gu Chenghuai raised a brow.
Lin Zhao didn’t speak, closed her eyes again. The instant she closed them, felt a warmth on her lips.
“Gu Chenghuai, you sneaked a kiss on me.” she said.
“Mm.” Gu Chenghuai’s low voice tinged with laughter.
“Gu Chenghuai, your voice is really nice.”
The man laughed out loud, “Want to hear a story?”
Dissatisfied clear crisp voice sounded, “I’m not Yu Bao Heng Bao.”
“Then what’s that matter, no one says only little children can hear stories.” Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao like looking at a little stickler.
Lin Zhao: “?”
No.
Who exactly is the stickler?
Gu Battalion Commander who in the hot summer still buttons up his shirt properly.
Gu Chenghuai took a book, it was “Spark Ignites the Plains”.
In an instant, Lin Zhao felt the light of justice shining on him, inspiring reverence.
Look at that, how great, righteous, and upright.
Coaxing his wife to sleep, it was like giving a report.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Chenghuai felt his wife’s expression looking at him was a bit strange, gaze inquiringly looking over.
“Nothing.” Lin Zhao lay flat, closed eyes, brewing sleepiness.
–
The next day before dawn, Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng got up.
The two little girls swept the yard clean, then washed the clothes changed last night.
When Yu Bao and the others came out, took the dragon-phoenix twins to wash up.
After that, together with Yu Bao fed Da Huang, Amber, and Xiao Jin.
“Yu Bao Heng Bao, Xiao Jin is really smart.” Zheng Zheng’s face was full of liking.
Lin Xuan didn’t dare touch, afraid the pretty little monkey would grab and bite her, but she was also very envious, “Yu Bao, does Xiao Jin bite people?”
“No biting, Xiao Jin is good, like… like Qian Bao equally good.” Yu Bao even found a comparison.
Qian Bao who was in mama’s bosom listening to a story lifted his head, clear eyes full of confusion.
“Potpot, play toy car.” Yao Bao called little brother to play with the wooden toy car.
Qian Bao shook his head, let sister play by herself.
Yao Bao sighed, flailed her little short legs, controlled the small wooden cart, drove toward where Da Huang was.
Da Huang nestled in the corner, saw the cub coming, stood up, watching her movements.
“Da Huang, eat.” Yao Bao’s smile sweet and soft, fed Da Huang small biscuits.
Over there, Lin Xuan carefully touched Xiao Jin’s head, so soft, so smooth, eyes lit up happily.
Xiao Jin directly jumped to her shoulder, the little girl’s body stiffened.
“Yu Bao, what to do? What now?”
“Xuanxuan sis don’t be afraid, Xiao Jin likes you, it won’t grab people.” Yu Bao said.
Zheng Zheng reached out to Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin extended front paw, placed in her palm.
“So good.”
Lin Xuan slowly relaxed, smile more genuine, “It’s so smart.”
“My mama says monkeys are very smart little animals, it can understand human speech.” Heng Bao said full of energy.
After speaking, rushed into the kitchen, “Mama, what to eat in the morning?”
“Didn’t you want to eat fish? Your dad caught two fish this morning, all made for breakfast, stir-fry an egg, smash a cucumber.” Lin Zhao busy with hands, said slowly.
She worked not fast, very orderly, watching her cook was a pleasure.
“Mama, I’ll add the fire.” Heng Bao sat on the small stool, stuffing little firewood inside.
“Slower, don’t let the firewood prick your hand.” Lin Zhao habitually reminded.
“Don’t worry, I’m super awesome.” Heng Bao smug, “I’ve known how to add fire for a long time, won’t prick my hand.”
“My grandma says I’m the best at adding fire little friend.”
Lin Zhao hadn’t spoken yet, Yu Bao who just entered the kitchen seriously corrected, “Grandma said it’s me. I’m the best at adding fire little friend.”
“Okay then, I’m the second best at adding fire little friend.” Heng Bao didn’t argue with his brother.
Lin Zhao: “…”
Lin Zhao was someone willing to eat and drink well, cooking generously with oil, family meals very good, otherwise the four cubs wouldn’t be raised chubby by her.
Xuanxuan and Zheng Zheng the two sisters eating at Gu Family for the first time, felt like eating at the state-run restaurant.
Aunt kept picking food and fish into their bowls, the two girls ate without lifting heads.
After eating, Lin Zhao and Lin Shisheng headed to Qiu Family.
The twins clamored to follow, ruthlessly rejected by Lin Zhao, the two cubs drooping heads went home.
Yu Bao pulled his younger brother to learn, Heng Bao’s little face fell.
–
Rundown warehouse, small window high up, wooden door hung with an iron lock, trapping the pair of man and woman sneaking illicit deeds.
Several scrawny trees around the warehouse.
At this time, under the usually deserted trees crowded several people, talking about something, a few tiptoeing to peer inside, but window too high, saw nothing.
“Hey hey hey, heard it? In there, the woman is Qiu Family’s daughter…” Someone started.
“Know, spread all morning, heard caught last night, the two stayed inside one night.”
“Hey, Qiu Family daughter has real courage, in the past cheaters got sunk in pig cage, this time Qiu Family’s face lost to grandmother’s house!”
“If I remember right, the marriage with Dongfeng Brigade Lin Family… was Qiu Lian using tricks to force it, really stinky shameless.”
A young wife newly married a few years, not clear on these old stories, curiously asked: “What does that mean? I want to hear.”
Young wife’s eyes shining, providing full emotional value.
The old aunts all happy to share gossip with her.
“Actually nothing rare, still that same set…”
“The thing is, Lin Family that young fool came to our village looking for Guodong and Jianjun, that kid tall, handsome face, dressed well, naturally caught Qiu Family’s eye.
Young lad no match for old foxes’ schemes, one time Lin Family boy got entangled by Qiu Family, just like that… Qiu Lian married into Lin Family.”
Young wife’s curiosity unsatisfied, asked again: “How did they scheme?”
Old aunt pursed lips.
“Rumor is, that day Qiu Lian went up mountain digging wild veggies, bitten by snake, happened to run into Lin Family boy, Qiu Lian begged him to save her, Lin Family boy to save her carried her to the clinic…
Lin Family boy clearly saved her, Qiu Lian knew, but Qiu Family people made a fuss, said Lin Family boy took advantage of Qiu Lian, ruined her reputation, forced him to marry Qiu Lian, otherwise report upward, send him to jail.
Back then checks were strict, one slip and you’re in, later some things happened in between, finally Lin Family and Qiu Family became in-laws…”
The more she spoke the more disdainful the old aunt’s expression.
To her, nonsense of just happening to run into.
Qiu Lian bitten by snake was Qiu Family setting up Lin Family boy, purpose to latch onto Lin Family.
Young wife never seen such shameless people, face full of shock, “Ah? Isn’t this repaying kindness with enmity?”
Old aunt patted her arm, “Qiu Family like that, what face do they want, they just want the benefits they get.”
Another aunt said: “I remember Qiu Family used to be very poor, since Qiu Lian married into Lin Family, Qiu Family people no longer sallow-faced.”
Who knows how much they stole from Lin Family.
Actually, Qiu Lian had no chance to move Lin Family things. Lin Family had Song Xiwei in charge, where would she have thief opportunity, at most hide an egg, save half a steamed corn bun.
Qiu Family lived well also because, when marrying Qiu Lian extorted one hundred yuan from Lin Family.
One hundred yuan’s purchasing power was shocking, enough for Qiu Family good days for a while.
Young wife asked again: “The man inside is from whose family?”
The starting old aunt didn’t speak, eyes swept to not far away.
Oh dear, young wife really can’t read faces.
Didn’t see Chen Zhuangshi’s wife’s face turn green!
Several people talking, far off saw several unfamiliar faces.
“Oh yo, Lin Family people, Lin Family people came!” The speaking aunt excited, “Spectacle to watch!!”
Saying that, walked forward a few steps, occupied best melon-eating spot.
Others followed.
“Lin boy, you came, people locked inside.” The leading aunt greeted Lin Shisheng, while speaking pointed finger at warehouse door.
Finally, quick-mouthed asked: “This matter your parents said how to handle? Still live the days?”
Lin Zhao’s fair pretty face stern, no expression, even speaking voice carried cold.
“Look at what Aunt says, Qiu Lian did such shameless thing, what days to still live.”
“My parents said, Lin Family doesn’t need shameless daughter-in-law, let my Second Brother and that woman divorce, today divorce, can’t drag to tomorrow.”
Hearing this strong words, surroundings in uproar.
Divorce?
First time in ten li eight villages!!!
In groups of three or two whispering.
Lin Zhao ignored, used rusty key to open the door lock.
Key was Second Brother’s good buddy Jianjun’s.
“Click!”
Lock fell.
Instant door opened, Qiu Lian covered face rushing out.
Her hair stuck with straw, clothes dotted with mud, whole body emitting foul smell.
Instant Qiu Lian hand pushed toward Lin Zhao’s shoulder, Lin Zhao extended foot with a forward kick.
“Bang!”
Qiu Lian’s body flew back into warehouse, smashed in front of the man inside, two together fell to ground.
Man oofed.
This sound fell.
Crowd not yet reacted, a tall sturdy figure rushed in, grabbed the oofing man and beat him.
“Chen Zhuangshi, you dare put green hat on my head! Went out to pee huh? Even specially ran here to pee, I’ll let you pee, I’ll beat you to death you shameless stinky thing!”
Bang bang bang sounds rose.
Chen Zhuangshi cried in pain.
“Stinky wife, you dare hit me, heaven and earth reversed, believe it or not I’ll divorce you…”
Threat words not finished, slapped crooked head by his wife.
“Ah——”
“Pain pain pain…”
“Pain to death, lighter, lighter, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won’t dare again, I didn’t want to, Qiu Lian seduced me, I couldn’t hold back.”
Chen Zhuangshi’s wife even angrier.
Couldn’t control, only beasts can’t control lower body.
Beating strength bigger, beat Chen Zhuangshi nose blue face swollen.
After beating Chen Zhuangshi, vented half anger, grabbed Qiu Lian and beat another round.
Warehouse transmitted shrill pain cries.
Qiu Lian hugged head curled on ground, tried dodging, fists landing one after another on body.
She hurt all over, shouted to Lin Shisheng: “Husband, save me, it was Chen Zhuangshi who forced me, I didn’t put green hat on you, ah…”
Lin Shisheng’s brows full of disgust.
Wu Guodong & Jianjun: “…” Just, so shameless!
Lin Zhao: How thick skinned to say such words.
Someone helping beat, she temporarily didn’t act, just coldly watched.
Chen Zhuangshi’s wife hearing Qiu Lian’s words, anger forced added disgust, increased strength slapping, slapped her face into pig head, threads of blood flowed from mouth corner.
“Pah, you and Chen Zhuangshi made for each other, both cowards dare do dare not admit! Disgusting!”
After venting anger, woman spat on ground, hands on hips: “Chen’s, I want to divorce you, since you can’t control the two liang meat in your pants, still got together with Qiu Lian, I move nests, from now on you two do as you like!”
Dropped words, turned head left.
Went to Chen home packed her things, without reluctance returned to maternal family.
“Don’t wife, I won’t divorce.” Chen Zhuangshi stretched hand.
He hadn’t thought of divorce.
His wife super capable, full work points daily, inside and outside home all good hand, his good days all thanks to this wife.
So endured pain, bared teeth grimaced wanting to chase.
But grabbed arms by two public security walking over.
“Don’t move!” One public security said, “Engaging in illicit affairs and want to run? Stay put!”
The other public security looked at Qiu Lian, “You too, come with us.”
Chen Zhuangshi and Qiu Lian two widened eyes, eyes showed terror.
Qiu Lian backed away, “…Go, go where? I want to go home, not going anywhere.”
Noticed Lin Shisheng, pounced to grab his arm.
Lin Shisheng dodged quickly like avoiding virus.
“Husband, I really know wrong, I’ll live good days with you, take me home, we’ll go back…”
Lin Shisheng didn’t look at her, just coldly scoffed.
“My Second Brother means, in your dreams.” Lin Zhao kindly translated.
