Chapter 243 - What Did You Do ?
Lin Zhi could walk away without a care but the four men who brought Lin Che to the old Lin family house couldn't, they could only ruefully look at Lin Zhi's vanishing back and sigh unhappily. If possible they wanted to dump Lin Che's responsibility on Lin Zhi but they were long aware of Lin Zhi's fame if Su Wan was a crouching tiger then Lin Zhi was a feral wolf. If they try to stop her the latter might set wild animals free in their farming fields without their knowledge .
Thus, even though the four men clearly saw Lin Zhi walking away they didn't stop her instead they slowed down their pace to give her more time to walk away before the bomb in the old Lin family exploded .
Lin Ze looked at the tasteless murky soup with no oil in it and pushed the bowl away , he was the head of the family how could he eat something so disgusting ? He suppressed his anger then turned to look at his mother , he knew that the old lady had a few taels saved as her savings as long as he could cajole her to take a few taels out then he would at least be able to eat decent food for a month . These disgusting bitter wild vegetables he would leave it for the women of the house. However, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak , the village elder's son's voice came from the threshold of their house .
" Oi , Lin Ze come outside ! And see what happened to your son !" Lu Ran was the son of one of the village elders and he enjoyed quite a bit of respect from the villagers . This morning he went to buy some black bricks to repair his house with his brothers . The roof of their house had a couple of leakages and they wanted to repair it before their village 's first snowfall - that was the plan but when they went to the town to buy the bricks - they saw the badly beaten Lin Che being surrounded by a throng of crowd .
Originally they didn't want to bother with this matter but Lin Che 's clothes were tattered and according to the gossipers , he was left unconscious on the road for an entire night . Lin Che 's body was already blue and if they didn't bring him back then he might have even died on the road . Though they were reluctant to bother with the Old Lin family , they were honest villagers and couldn't see someone they know dying in front of their eyes . So , not only did they save Lin Che by bringing him to the medical hall , they even covered his body with their own cotton-padded jacket . While they braved their way through the cold winds .
The four of them were already pissed off , the money that they saved for repairing their roof was spent on Lin Che 's medicine and with their fame , the Lu brothers knew that this money will never be returned back their pockets however, they needed the money so even if it meant to throw their face away they would snatch that money from the Old Lin family . And if this wasn't enough , this Lin brat was so heavy that even the four of them couldn't withstand his weight , even the eldest brother who had a sturdy and strong body felt as if his waist was going to break in half with Lin Che 's weight much less the youngest who was only fifteen .
" Lin Ze ! Come out ! Have you gone deaf ? If you don't come out , we will leave your son on your doorstep !" Shouted Lu Ran , he was already swearing because of Lin Che 's weight and yet the old Lin family was taking their own sweet time .
" I'm coming ! What's with the fuss , what's wrong - What did you ! My son ! Ah, Che ! What did you do to my Ah Che !" The first to arrive was Madam Zhang , because Lin Ze was worried that Lu Ran was here to ask for the money that he borrowed from him , he refused to see him and sent his wife instead , Madam Zhang knew her husband and his antics so she was already in her battle mode but who would have thought that she would actually see her son's badly beaten body the second she walked out of her house ? Her voice that was full of contempt and disdain morphed into a high pitch shriek drawing the attention of everyone including her family members .
Lin Ze and Old Grandma Lin heard Madam Zhang 's shriek and understood that something was wrong so they too hurriedly rushed out , Lin Yunxi on the other hand went inside her room - she knew her brother well , with his behaviour- it wouldn't be surprising if he brought trouble for their family .
" Ah Che !"
" Che 'er !"
Lin Ze and Old grandma Lin caught sight of Lin Che 's injured body and shouted in anxiety . Lin Che this son/grandson was their hope and key to a rich life , if something happened to him what will happen to their family ?
" what did you do ? What did you do ?" Old Grandmother Lin was so furious and nervous that she lunged at Lu Ran , flailing her skinny and leathery claws " how dare you to hurt my grandson ! I will scratch you to death !"
" Brother Lu , even though I didn't return the money that I borrowed from you - there was no need for you to be too ruthless right ?" Even Lin Ze chimed in sullenly though he was worried about his son , he wanted to use this opportunity to clear off his debt and blackmail the Lu brothers to give him some money .
Lu Ran was so enraged that he actually laughed out loud before pushing Old Lady Lin away with a flick of his hand , since the old Lin family was not giving him any face then why should he be respectful to them? He didn't control his strength and Old grandma Lin fell on her butt.
