Chapter 194: Chapter 194: This Life Cannot Be Changed
“Dad, I get it. Second Brother will always be Second Brother, and we’re us. But, if I can help, I’ll be there for him.”
“Wife, let’s go with that. You can go and tell them about it.” Lin Laogeng directed his gaze at Lu Qiubo, he said.
…
Before long, despite Liu Baixiao’s stubborn refusal to leave, he was chased out by Lu Qiubo with a broom.
However, in order to have so peace, she did make a few words of appeasent to Clan Chief Lin, which led to him giving Liu Baixiao’s family a place to live. Otherwise, Clan Chief Lin wouldn’t even have bothered with Liu Baixiao.
In a spot not far from the village, there was a small, rundown courtyard—Clan Chief Lin had taken ten silver pieces from Liu Baixiao for it.
“Baiyi, what happened just now? Why would you plea for them, knowing how Rui has hard Changfeng and Sangsang?” Back in their own room, Yang Lin glared at her husband with a cold face.
She’d heard about Liu Baixiao’s visit the day she returned and it had made her so upset she lost her appetite for dinner.
Yet, he had the audacity to intercede for Liu Baixiao’s family!
“Do you even look like a father?” She asked.
“Are you foolish or what?”
Lin Baiyi glanced out of the door crack, he made sure no one was in the yard before lowering his voice to address his wife.
“How am I being foolish?” Yang Lin was fuming.
Not pleading for that ungrateful Liu Baixiao was foolish? All of the Lin Family was foolish except for him, Lin Baiyi?
“And you say you’re not foolish?”
Lin Baiyi chuckled softly, shooting an annoyed glance at his wife.
“Didn’t you see Dad was already starting to soften up, letting Second Brother’s family move in? How could we possibly let Liu Baixiao stay with us after what happened to Changfeng?”
“So you an, what?” Yang Lin furiously asked.
“Our son was wronged and should not be blad. But Second Brother and his family being kicked out by the Liu Family is equally pitiful. He is, after all, Dad’s son. Mother can be harsh on him for Sangsang, but can Dad really bear it?”
Lin Baiyi gave a cold huff.
“You see how He’er is now. Can you bear to kick her out?”
“I…”
At those words, Yang Lin clenched her teeth.
Her good-for-nothing daughter was really a handful; there seed to be no hope for an improvent in her behavior, no matter how many tis she was lectured.
“It’s different with He’er, sooner or later she has to get married and leave ho. She can’t just beco an old maid. But this girl, quite the troublemaker indeed. Now that Yushui has returned, I’m afraid it’s…”
“Don’t talk about He’er for now. Let’s discuss what just happened. If I hadn’t spoken up like that, Dad might have ended up feeling sympathetic towards Second Brother since everyone was against him. However, it’s different with .
After what happened with Changfeng and Second Brother, Dad feels a great sense of guilt towards Changfeng. The more I display sympathy for Second Brother’s family, the more guilty Dad will feel towards us. It will only harden his heart towards Second Brother’s family. If nothing else, he’ll drive them away just to let Changfeng focus on his studies.”
Lin Baiyi explained.
“Tsk.”
Yang Lin gave a small tsk, looking at her husband with newfound respect.
“Baiyi, when did you learn to be so clever? How did you co up with such a cunning plan?”
“Of course, Sangsang taught .” Lin Baiyi declared proudly.
Sangsang had secretly pulled him aside earlier and explained her plan to him. Initially, he was hesitant, fearing it might make things worse. Surprisingly, it worked. Liu Baixiao’s family was indeed evicted.
