Chapter 214. Came pleading

As time goes by, it was May.

During this time, the weather was already starting to heat up. There were some vegetables in the backyard of the house ready-to-eat.

Of course, leeks had been eaten a long time ago. The leek pockets were the family’s favorite.

Lin Qing He had to teach. She was very busy every day. Sister Mei had a job again. The pork business was still continued.

Her man worked on a pig farm. He can get a little supply with this position, so why not do it?

"The city doesn’t seem to be peaceful for a while. There’s no problem with your next customer, right?" Sister Mei asked in a hushed voice when she came over to get meat that day.

"No problem." Lin Qing He nodded and asked her what was going on.

"I heard those red soldiers from outside came over. There’s unrest in the city for a while," Sister Mei said.

"It’ll be alright after this period passes," Lin Qing He responded.

After coming here, she came to know of some things in this era, such as these red soldiers.

They were so active. But it’ll come to an end. They will disappear next year and won’t stir any trouble.

But still, the movement caused by this group of red soldiers from outside was quite large.

The worst-off among them was Wang Ling and Zhou He, who were criticized for adultery.

Because of the black history of the past, the two of them were naturally kicked over. Zhou He was said to been carried back. What’s more, he also became a eunuch.

Wang Ling was just as miserable. Her face was beaten swollen. Even people close to her couldn’t recognize her.

Because of the ruckus in the city, everyone in the village had been avoiding both of them like a plague for a while.

Nothing happened in Zhoujia Village, while the same can’t be said for old Lin Family.

It was Third Brother Lin who came to inform them.

"Old Second Lin dare to get entangled with a widow in the village? Does he want to die?" Lin Qing He exclaimed in surprise.

The environment during this moment was extremely strict, Second Brother Lin still dare to commit crimes against the convention. Also his wife, she wasn’t one to be quiet.

"The village has always been fine and didn’t know that ruckus outside is so fierce. Just yesterday, they got taken away." Third Brother Lin said, "Our parents and the others are about to come and ask brother-in-law for help.

Lin Qing He sneered: "Old Lin family wants to get him. Well, it’ll depend on how much they can pay!"

Third Brother Lin pursed his lips and said, "Sister, even though there are bickers in the past, we’re still a family."

"Old Second Lin and I aren’t a family. Same with the old couple. There is no reason to take back the married-off daughter and splashed out water." Lin Qing He said heartlessly.

She wasn’t the original owner. Even when she inherited the body, she won’t support the original owner’s parents.

Of course, if the original owner’s parents were good, it would be too much to not help. However, what kind of thing was that old couple?

She had no tendency of looking for abuse. These kinds who use old age as an excuse had nothing to do with her. She won’t be polite at all.

"Father and Mother will be here soon," said Third Brother Lin.

He didn’t leave either. Sure enough, after a short while, Father Lin and Mother Lin arrived. It was rare for the old couple to come together.

They had no choice. If they didn’t come, their second son will be finished. They had to come even if they don’t want to.

But it was just the old couple themselves. As for Eldest Brother Lin and Second Sister-in-law Lin, neither came.

"Oh, the two of you can actually come all the way to see me, the splashed out water. What rare visitors." Lin Qing He straightforwardly uttered.

"Qing He ah, you have to save your second brother. You can’t be so unconscionable and not rescue when seeing one dying!" Mother Lin sobbed.

Lin Qing He snorted: "If you think this set of moves are effective on me, you can continue to sob. I will watch."

"Qing He, you are now a teacher of Community’s Junior High School. Don’t you care about your reputation?" Mother Lin stared at her.

This weasel look had Lin Qing He disdained from the bottom of her heart. She sneered: "What’s my reputation? If you dare to label me as an unfilial girl, then I will let you be criticized for the feudal parenting style. Those people will not let you off because you are old."

Mother Lin was trembling with anger: "You...you treat me, your mother like this? Aren’t you afraid that your sons will treat you the same way in the future?"

"Pack away that move. Is your treatment toward me the same as my treatment toward my sons? They know how I treat them. And I know how you treat me. How much money had I taken back to supplement old Lin family? How much work had I done for old Lin family since I was a child? Especially when I married Zhou Qing Bai, how much money I took from him? I think I don’t owe you old Lin family at all." Lin Qing He blandly stated.

Mother Lin was steaming mad. She wanted to sit on the ground and throw a fit.

As soon as she plopped down, Lin Qing He grabbed a stool, sat down, and said indifferently: "Do cause a scene. I’ll just watch it here."

Mother Lin couldn’t continue. She never thought this daughter to be so cruel and unfeeling!

"Where is Qing Bai?" Father Lin asked, looking at this daughter.

"Gone to work. There are so many people in my family, what do we eat if he doesn’t go to work." Lin Qing He indifferently answered.

"Qing He, Father knows we did you wrong in some area in the past. But we are one family, there’s nothing that can’t let go. This time, your second brother’s matter..."

Before Father Lin finished speaking, Lin Qing He interrupted him: "Don’t say it’s my second brother. Old Second Lin is not my second brother. I don’t have a second brother like him. Simply too shameful. Someone with a wife still has an unclear relationship with a widow. Who could be blamed for being caught?"

Father Lin was angry: "What happened had happened, what else can you do? Can’t you help him? You’re going to watch him get arrested like this?"

"How can I help? I’m just a teacher from a community junior high school. Didn’t he get caught and get sent to the county city? I have no power to help at all." Lin Qing He responded.

In fact, she really didn’t want to help. This kind of thing wasn’t a small matter now. How can it be so easy to release?

After all, this was an age where one can report. If Old Second Lin committed a crime and was released out, what about the others? Won’t others also be able to get out?

At that time, Zhou Qing Bai might also get implicated. So Lin Qing He didn’t want to help at all.

Seeing that her cruel daughter was really going to let him wither away, Mother Lin just screamed: "Heartless girl. Our old Lin family’s cruel daughter. Her own second brother was arrested and she won’t save him. How can there be such an inhumane daughter!"

"Old lady, continue to howl. In a bit, let everyone decide later if choosing righteous over family loyalty is right." Lin Qing He’s expression remained unchanged as she uncaringly stated.

"Sister." Third Brother Lin compressed his lips and looked at his sister.

"Shut up." Lin Qing He threw a gaze at him and said, "Really foolish. Even old Eldest Lin and Old Second Lin’s wife didn’t show up for fear of getting implicated. While you just blindly run around and not going to work. You don’t need to raise your wife and children?"
