Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Bullying (2)_1 Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Bullying (2)_1 “Good.” The old man agreed with her, as farrs of course gained strength from more activity.
“Grandpa, are those water-pepper plants?” Lin Ziyin observed their surroundings, noticing a variety of wild vegetables growing all over the place. She had not expected there to be so many good things on the mountain.
Ziyin, that plant has a strange taste.” The old man replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyin imdiately stood up, “Grandpa, this is a good thing. Let’s pick more of the tender leaves, I can use them.” Lin Ziyin said gleefully. This kind of wild vegetable had a spicy flavor, which could be used as a substitute for pepper. This way, they could save so money on spices.
When the old man heard that it could be used, he too started to help her pick without asking her for what.
The pair searched and picked along their path and filled half their basket in no ti. anwhile, as they were walking uphill, Lin Ziyin also found so star anise and other spices.
“Grandpa, let’s go ho, it’s getting late.” Lin Ziyin saw that their baskets were almost full, so she ntioned to the old man.
“Let’s head down the mountain.” The old man signaled emphatically, first hoisting up his own basket.
Lin Ziyin also hoisted her own small basket on her back.
The descent was much quicker than the ascent, and in no ti, they were back in the village.
“Beat him up.” As soon as they entered the village, they heard a child yelling.
“Don’t beat him up.”
“Big brother, waa, don’t hit.” It was Yanzhi’s voice.
Lin Ziyin, amidst the raucous chatter of the children, instantly identified the voice of her own child.
The old man heard it too, and quickened his stride.
Lin Ziyin hurriedly caught up with him.
“I’ll beat you to death for bullying Yanzhi.” As they approached, they saw a larger child playfully pinning Changting down, with Lin Yanzhi pressed on the ground by another child of similar size to Changting. A short distance away, the Yan family was cracking lon seeds and watching the spectacle.
Fire instantly flared up in Lin Ziyin’s heart.
Without saying a word, she approached and kicked the larger child who was pinning Changting down. The child let out a high cry and fell flat, as the now-freed Changting rolled over and landed a punch on the child’s face.
Taken abelback, the child imdiately burst into tears.
The old man had already pulled the child sitting on Lin Yanzhi away and help Lin Yanzhi into his arms.
“I’ll kill you.” The larger child was in his defiant years. After being surprised by Lin Ziyin’s kick and then punched by Changting, he got up and charged at Lin Ziyin.
Fearing that his sister might be at a disadvantage, Changting imdiately grabbed the child’s legs.
“I’ll kick you to death.” was the malicious thought in the child’s mind, and he aid a kick at Changting’s chest. Lin Ziyin saw this and couldn’t let him make the move. should he succeed, Changting would be seriously injured.
Lin Ziyin’s swiped her face cold, employing a Capturing Hand’s move, then twisted the child’s arm, imdiately followed by a sharp scream, then a crunchy snap. The child’s arm was broken.
“Help, Lin Ziyin is murdering soone.” The woman from the Yan family who was initially leisurely watching the scene had her expression changing and charged at Lin Ziyin.
Without uttering a word, Lin Ziyin’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she reached for the sickle in her basket.
With a bright gleam in her eyes, the charging woman of the Yan family caught sight of the shiny sickle under the sun’s glare, and reflexively stopped in her tracks. Then she fell to the ground with a thud, screaming at the top of her voice, “This is horrendous, The Lin Family wants to commit murder.”
She was incredibly loud and shrill, and it happened to be just when the villagers had returned from their work in the fields preparing for their al. Soon the under the trees at village entrance was teeming with people.
Seeing the third child of the Ma family rolling on the ground with a broken arm, woman of the Yan family sitting on the ground gasping through her sobs, and Lin Ziyin holding a sickle with a cold look in her eyes. The village imdiately erupted into a wave of discussion.
“What’s going on here?” At this mont, a commanding voice rang out.
Everyone looked up to see Li Zheng, the village head speaking, standing right beside him was Lin Changshu, his face full of anger.
A good drama was unfolding, and everyone’s eyes were on Li Zheng, wanting to see how he would handle today’s matter.
