Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 35 - Shameless

35: Chapter 35 Shameless

35 -35 Shameless

Lin Xia’s eyes were bloodshot with anger as she spoke through clenched teeth, “If a dislocated bone is not a big deal, then I should just dislocate the arms of Lin Yu and Lin Qiang and reattach them!”

She actually harbored such thoughts, wanting them to experience the same pain!

Lin Qiang and Lin Yu glared at Lin Xia furiously, while Qian Chunli was so angry that veins bulged on her forehead as she slapped her thigh, “Oh my goodness!

Aiguo!

Look at what your daughter is saying!

How cruel is her heart…

We really can’t stay in this house any longer…”

In Lin Aiguo’s heart, Lin Qiu’s bone dislocation was not a big deal.

From the moment he entered, he had taken a dislike to Lin Xia, and now seeing her unyielding and sharp-tongued, he immediately turned hostile,

“Have you gone mad!

I am not dead yet!

Do my words no longer carry weight?

Hurry up and apologize to your aunt and the others!

Don’t go looking for trouble day by day, and a dislocated bone is now a big deal?

And you, Lin Qiu, you better quickly apologize to your aunt and Lin Yu and Lin Qiang!

Tomorrow, you are going to work at the soybean paste factory!”

He felt extremely agitated; why did his rare visit home have to include settling their disputes!

Not one of them was making his life easier!

Seeing Qian Chunli and her daughters smirking across from her, Lin Qiu bit her lower lip, unable to bring herself to apologize…

Lin Xia also stared fiercely at Qian Chunli and her group; she was resolutely not going to apologize!

Why should they be the ones to apologize?

If they apologized, wouldn’t Lin Qiu’s suffering be in vain?

But what she needed to say now was something else, “Xiaoqiu can’t go to work now!

Doctor Wang said her arm needs to recover!

It will take at least ten to fifteen days!”

Lin Xia would under no circumstances let Lin Qiu start working at the soybean paste factory immediately!

Lin Qiu anxiously tugged at Lin Xia’s sleeve, “Sis!

Don’t…

I can go.”

She didn’t want to anger her father because of this.

If he wanted her to go, she would, even if it meant working with one arm!

Right now, both her older and younger brothers were not back home, and Qian Chunli and her daughters would love to see them blamed; could they still hold out?

She was worried it would end badly for them.

“Don’t say a word!” Lin Xia commanded Lin Qiu, determined not to let her apologize or go to the soybean paste factory, even if it meant causing a scene.

“Lin Xia!

Who are you trying to forcefully argue with!

I can still handle you!” Lin Aiguo was beside himself with rage, moving to hit Lin Xia as he spoke.

Lin Xia tilted her head back, staring at Lin Aiguo, her hand already touching the kitchen knife.

She had decided, if Lin Aiguo dared to hit her, she would dare to chop him!

Lin Qiu quickly stepped in front of Lin Xia, “Dad!

If you’re going to hit someone, hit me!”

She couldn’t let her sister be hit.

The whole incident had started because of her.

If she hadn’t accused Lin Qiang and Lin Yu of stealing, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point!

Lin Xia pushed her, “Xiaoqiu!

Get out of the way!”

Just then, Lin Chun and Lin Dong, the brothers, ran inside.

They heard the arguing in their home before they even entered the yard.

Neighbors from nearby, including two other households, stood outside the front gate peering into their yard.

Seeing that their dad was at home and about to hit someone, Lin Chun hurriedly made his way to Lin Xia and Lin Qiu, attempting to stop Lin Aiguo with his arms.

“Dad!

Let’s talk this out calmly!

Don’t resort to violence!”

Lin Dong, carrying his backpack, also ran up to the Lin sisters, not speaking, but glaring angrily at Qian Chunli and her daughters.

Lin Aiguo’s arm was tightly gripped by Lin Chun, who furiously retorted, “Lin Chun!

You better back off!

Do you have a say when I’m disciplining Lin Xia?

Otherwise, I’ll beat you too!”

Why was everyone opposing him now?

They truly didn’t regard him as a father.

Lin Chun, usually obedient and respectful, couldn’t stand it anymore, a chill running through his heart,

Actually, all afternoon at his unit, he hadn’t thought of anything else, just worried about what might happen to Lin Xia and Lin Qiu at home.

After work, he hurried home, only to arrive just in time to witness the fight.

Lin Aiguo, with his neck stiff, cursed, “Why shouldn’t I hit them?

It’s just some food, does that even count as stealing?

Why keep nagging about this?

Couldn’t the problem just be solved by going to old Wang?

Is it even a big deal?

I went through so much trouble and spent money to secure that job, and so many people are waiting.

Who are you to delay?

Lin Chun, move aside!”

These brats think jobs are easy to come by like cabbages and turnips?

He painstakingly secured a quota, and they still don’t appreciate it!

They really deserve a beating; their hides are too thick!”

Lin Chun forcefully grabbed Lin Aiguo’s arm, “I won’t move!

Dad!

If you need to hit someone, hit me!

Xiaoqiu’s arm needs to heal before she can work.

Dad!

Please just talk things over nicely!”

“You’re all so spoiled…” Lin Aiguo, infuriated, lifted his foot to kick Lin Chun, he was really beside himself with anger!

“Don’t you dare hit my big brother!”

Lin Xia’s eyes reddened with anger, she rushed forward, but was held back by Lin Qiu and Lin Dong…

Outside the Lin family’s front door, four or five neighbors gathered around to watch the commotion, including Jin Auntie and her husband from next door.

Someone asked, “What’s the Lin family fighting about now?”

“Who knows!

But all I can hear aside from old Lin yelling, is that stepmom’s noise, and isn’t that Lin Xia’s voice?

That girl has become quite sharp-tongued… Hey Jin Auntie, you live closer, do you know what’s happening?” the neighbor asked earnestly.

Jin Auntie peered towards the house, “I’m not quite sure what’s happening, but earlier today Lin Qiu came to my house to help, and when she went back home, I heard something about those two brought by the stepmom stealing something!

Maybe they were caught red-handed… Later, Lin Qiu’s arm got hurt, so she had to go to old Wang’s in the front street…”

The neighbor slapped his thigh, “Oh my God!

How could this happen!”

“Exactly!

What kind of people are they?

Stealing and then hitting someone when caught?”

While they were all talking, it sounded like the fighting inside the house intensified.

Jin Auntie quickly said, “Let’s help break up the fight!”

Jin Uncle nodded, “Right!”

“Yes!

Let’s prevent any serious harm!”

The curious neighbors were eager to help, following them into the courtyard.

Inside the house, Lin Aiguo’s arm was grabbed by Lin Chun as he kicked at Lin Chun.

Lin Xia, furious enough to take on Lin Aiguo, broke free from Lin Qiu and Lin Dong to grab a kitchen knife, but Lin Dong forcefully held her around the waist.

Lin Xia struggled angrily, bellowing, “Lin Dong!

Let me go!”

“Big sister!

I won’t let go!” Lin Dong managed to drag Lin Xia out into the yard,

Lin Xia, eyes full of rage, said, “Didn’t you see big brother is getting beaten?

Let me go!” She would rather take the blows herself than see her big brother hurt!

“Could you, a woman, not step forward, please?” He was terrified the moment his big sister went for the kitchen knife!

Fortunately, he and his second sister quickly intervened.

If she really grabbed the kitchen knife and fought their father, how would they continue to live in this house?

How could they face people with such a bad reputation?

Jin Auntie and the others hurried over, “Lin Xia!

Are you alright?”

“I’m fine!

Jin Auntie!” Lin Xia replied, turning her head fiercely to rebuke Lin Dong, “Let me go!

You let me…” Ultimately, she was a frail woman and no match for Lin Dong, a robust young man.
