Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Making Trouble

Qian Chunli bitterly thought, if it weren’t for her trying to let Lin Chun leave, helping them conceal the delay, would Lin Aiguo be so quiet? He would have stormed in and cut them down long ago.

Look at them now, strutting around! They’ll have their time to cry!

Qian Chunli glanced around, quickly parked her bicycle, and ran into the house. She had to see if it matched her suspicion.

When she saw the household registration book still in the drawer, she grinned with a smile.

This was perfect. Her Qiangzi had gone to work at the lumberyard a few days ago, and now that Lin Chun had left, and with Lin Xia’s kid having such a tense conflict with Lin Aiguo, succession was a sure thing!

But when Qian Chunli thought about how Lin Aiguo would react after finding out Lin Chun had left, her eyes narrowed slightly. According to her understanding of Lin Aiguo, he might vent his anger on her, so she had to find a way to extricate herself from blame.

So, rather than waiting for Lin Aiguo to find out and explode in anger, it would be better if she directly sent someone to deliver the news to him on the mountain.

That way, even if Lin Aiguo wanted to find fault with her, he wouldn’t find anything substantial, and... she’d even tell him where those kids’ homes were. Without thinking, one could guess it would be quite a scene!

Thinking of this, Qian Chunli smiled triumphantly...

Lin Xia and Lin Dong were chatting while riding their bicycles, each reflecting on the recent scare.

Lin Dong scratched his head with one hand, feeling embarrassed, "Big sis! I actually thought he had come back! Although I’m not scared of him, it still turned me over!"

Those years of being beaten and mistreated had inevitably left a shadow in their hearts.

"Actually, me too! But I was looking around to see what I could grab as a weapon!" As soon as that thought flashed through Lin Xia’s mind, there was nothing to fear, it was all about fighting with all one’s might!

"Big sis! You’re really fierce! I need to learn from you!" Lin Dong sometimes admitted inferiority; he wasn’t as fierce as his big sister even as a young teen.

Lin Xia’s expression became serious, "Dongzi! Big sis doesn’t want you to become like that!

Big sis is fierce for a reason, look at how our older brothers are, your second sister is introverted, and you’re still young. If I don’t stand tough, how could we get by? Otherwise, we would return to those oppressive, dark days.

But now, our days are better! So, you don’t need to think about these things. Focus on your studies and grow up to be a useful and responsible person!

We can’t choose the family we’re born into, but we can choose how to live our lives!

You still have a long road ahead, and while you must stand firm and not be taken advantage of when dealing with people, you should also be generous when it’s called for..."

Lin Xia didn’t want to set a bad example for her brother. Her ferocity wasn’t only related to what she had just said but also connected to her experiences from their early hardships, not wanting them to repeat those difficulties.

Perhaps one only truly understands life and death through experience.

Since coming back, she had gradually toughened up, willing to become unrecognizable for the sake of her siblings.

Lin Dong nodded thoughtfully, "I understand! Big sis! Don’t worry!"

After a moment of silence, he said, "Big sis! That old woman saw us, won’t she cause trouble and complain about us?" He knew that old woman had no good intentions!

Lin Xia responded with a sarcastic laugh, "Even if she hadn’t seen us, she would still cause trouble! Dongzi! There are some things you don’t know. Big brother’s departure, I actually asked Aunt Jin to pass the message to her.

So she definitely knows about the missing household registration book, and naturally, to ensure Lin Qiang eventually takes over, she’d help cover up for us temporarily, otherwise, how could it have been so quiet recently?"

Lin Dong nodded, not realizing the intricacies involved. That day he had speculated that their dad couldn’t possibly just let them be, wondering why there had been no news recently.

Lin Xia continued, "Now that big brother has left, she won’t let us have an easy time!"

He anxiously asked, "So, big sis, what do we do?"

Lin Xia made a decisive decision, "Tomorrow you go to school, and I and your second sister will go with you. We need to hurry and find a house to move out!" Only by moving away from here quickly could they ensure absolute safety.

"Okay!" The two sped up their bike ride home.

...

Lin Qiang got home from work and felt that his mom was in an unusually good mood today; she kept smiling at him during dinner, which made him feel uneasy.

"Mom! What’s up with you?"

"Yeah! Mom! Why do I feel like you’re in such a good mood today?" Lin Yu also asked.

Qian Chunli thought for a moment. Now that things had gone her way, she saw no need to keep it from her children anymore.

"Xiaoyu, Qiangzi! Mom has something to tell you!" She said, deliberately pausing before continuing, "Lin Chun went out of town for a job!"

Lin Qiang was shocked and opened his mouth wide, "What? Out of town for a job?"

Lin Yu was equally shocked, "Really? I hadn’t heard a thing about this before."

Qian Chunli beamed with joy, "Anyway, he’s gone! I didn’t tell you earlier because I was afraid of leaking the news. What if your dad found out? What if he couldn’t go? Now that he’s gone, Qiangzi, you have one less competitor for succession..."

Lin Yu followed suit happily, "Mom! That’s great now! With him gone, Lin Xia and the others can’t come back either!

It’s better with just us at home! It feels like our own home now!"

She was fed up with Lin Xia and the others. Ever since they moved out, everything was casual, even though she had to do some work, she was happy about it!

Lin Qiang, however, had a gloomy face. He really wanted to say he didn’t want to work or be any worker. This job was nothing like he had imagined; not only was he under someone else’s control, but he also had to do physical work, and lifting large logs was no easy task.

But seeing his mom’s beaming, hopeful expression, he really didn’t dare say it out loud. Otherwise, his mom would definitely smack him hard with a broom!

"Qiangzi! Last time you said you knew where they lived, where exactly are they staying?"

Lin Qiang got excited at this and said, "They’re right near the cinema; it’s easy to find. The house beside the Black Gate on the roadside!"

Qian Chunli smiled and instructed them, "Okay! I’ll let your dad know it was me who found out about it, to keep the blame off you!"

"And when your dad comes back, if he asks you, you both pretend you don’t know anything. You both know nothing, got it?"

"We’ll definitely pretend we know nothing!" Lin Yu and Lin Qiang both expressed their stance.

Qian Chunli clapped her hands in delight and laughed, "Good! Your dad will definitely want to settle accounts with them once he knows, so let’s just sit back and watch the drama unfold..."

The more intense their conflict, the more estrangement it caused, the more it benefited she and her children!

No sooner had Qian Chunli finished speaking than Lin Yu and Lin Qiang also laughed, but suddenly, they heard the door to the outer room rattle, halting their laughter.

Qian Chunli quickly looked towards the door, anxious, and asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Aiguo suddenly pushed the door and entered the Eastern House, his face stern, "Me! What are you all chatting about? Whose accounts are you planning to settle? What drama are you watching? I could hear your laughter from outside!"
