Chapter 480: Chapter 479 Wen Family Rules

Wen Lan rushed back on the last day of her leave for family visits.

She was carrying a big bag, looking at Lin Nianhe who sat on a bicycle at the train station entrance, confused: "Didn’t you just come back? Why are you going out again?"

Lin Nianhe: "Is there a possibility that I came to pick you up?"

"Eh? You pick me up? Not only do I have to carry my luggage, but I also have to ride the bike with you on it, aren’t you just giving me trouble?" Sister Lan didn’t hide her disdain.

Lin Nianhe: "..."

"You sit in the back, I’ll ride!" Lin Nianhe boldly patted the rear seat.

Wen Lan took a big step back, looking up at the sky to avoid Lin Nianhe’s gaze: "Forget it, my family has a rule, we can’t court death before the end of the first lunar month."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

She felt that the Wen Family’s rules had just been made up half a minute ago.

"A soldier can be killed but not insulted, Wen Lan! Let’s duel!"

"Come on, let’s do it! Quick, quick!" Sister Lan, with a gleam in her eyes, rubbed her hands together, obviously having been stifled at home for too long.

"Hold on! I choose a battle of words!" Lin Nianhe hastily yelled to stop her before Wen Lan could act, "My family also has rules, we can’t court death all year round."

Wen Lan: "Silly coward."

"Are we having a battle of words or not? If not, I’ll take it that you admit defeat."

"Silly girl."

"Then you lost, and there must be a punishment for losing, wait let me think."

"..."

"I won’t make it hard for you, just treat me to some braised pork."

"Lin Nianhe, don’t make me smack you."

"Tsck... then I’ll treat you to braised pork."

"Let’s go!"

In the State-Owned Restaurant, Sister Lan ate her plain noodles and braised pork, even though they didn’t really go together, she enjoyed them immensely and talked about her miserable life lately while she ate.

"You always say I’m naive, but I’m not naive at all, look, I got into a fight and I don’t have to go on blind dates anymore, how convenient! My older sister should really learn this trick!"

Lin Nianhe silently lit a candle for that blind date guy in his heart.

During the festive season, who did this poor guy offend?

According to Wen Lan, she really didn’t exert much effort in the fight this time, she just lightly patted the guy on the back twice, mainly for a deterrent effect.

"Sister Lan, I can understand you want to deter others to avoid trouble, but what I don’t get is—"

"Why on earth did you think Aunt rolling her eyes at you was a silent permission for you to start hitting?"

"..."

This question was doomed to have no answer, because perhaps even Wen Lan herself didn’t know what she was thinking at the time.

After they finished their meal, they went home. Wen Lan’s family rules didn’t allow her to sit on the rear of Lin Nianhe’s bicycle, so she had to resign herself to pedaling her own bike, occasionally rolling her eyes at Lin Nianhe who dangled his legs at the back.

Lin Nianhe tugged at her sleeve: "Sister Lan, I know you want to look at me, but don’t, pay attention to the road."

Wen Lan rolled her eyes at her again.

Lin Nianhe looked up at the sky, pretending he couldn’t see Sister Lan’s grievances, swinging his legs on his own, saying, "I heard from Uncle Team Leader that Sister Shumei’s sister-in-law gave birth on the first day of the new year, she should be back in a week... Just in time for the school term, coming back and getting straight to work, perfect."

Wang Shumei was unable to return a week later; she called again the day after Wen Lan returned and asked for leave again.

Educated youth asking for leave naturally need a sufficient reason, and Wang Shumei’s reason was legitimate—Wang Xiaoxiao had fractured a bone.

"Xiaoxiao fractured a bone?"

Lin Nianhe was called to the Ten Miles Team’s office, and after hearing Li Dahe’s account, furrowed his brows, "What happened?"

"Wang Shumei didn’t say, but from the tone of her voice, she seemed like she had cried or had been angered," Li Dahe explained with furrowed brows the reason he had called Lin Nianhe over, "I wanted to ask in detail, but that girl just hung up the phone. Do you know her family’s work unit number?"

"I’ll give Brother Qian a call and ask."

Lin Nianhe had Qian Guozhu’s work unit phone number; she immediately picked up the phone to dial, but Qian Guozhu was not in his unit, and Sun ManCang answered the call.

When asked for the reason, Sun ManCang hesitated for a moment, then told Lin Nianhe the details about how Wang Xiaoxiao got injured.

Wang Xiaoxiao went to buy vegetables early this morning, and just happened to encounter her stepmother, Chen Daya, at the Vegetable Station. Chen Daya, already restless due to the family separation issue before the new year, saw the pork belly in Wang Xiaoxiao’s basket and instantly erupted in anger, habitually twisted the little girl’s ear and dragged her away to beat her.

No reason, just to vent her frustration.

Chen Daya never held back her strength, kicking and breaking Wang Xiaoxiao’s arm, and even snatched away the meat and vegetables in her basket.

Wang Xiaoxiao fainted from the pain right there. It was the old neighbors who recognized her and took her to the hospital, then went to Qian Guozhu’s work unit to send the message.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Nianhe’s blood pressure surged drastically, her heart beating rapidly. The long-suppressed violence was almost unrestrainable, ready to erupt at any moment.

She still remembered the time Wang Xiaoxiao came to Ten Miles Team, the lively and cheerful little girl, constantly calling Wang Shumei "Sister, Sister", like a little tail.

How could that kind and adorable little girl be dared to be treated like that by that woman?

"Sister Lin? Sister Lin?"

Lin Nianhe snapped back to her senses, bit her tongue, and after calming down a bit, she said to Sun ManCang on the phone, "Brother Sun, please tell Sister Shumei that I will arrive by tomorrow at the latest. Tell her to stay calm, take Xiaoxiao for treatment first, we’ll discuss the rest when I arrive."

"Okay, I’ll go find Brother Qian right now!"

Lin Nianhe hung up the phone, her hand trembling slightly on the receiver. She licked her lips and looked at Li Dahe, saying, "Uncle Team Leader, could you please help me write a letter of introduction? I need to go to Sister Shumei’s home."

"What exactly happened?"

"Xiaoxiao’s arm was broken by her stepmother."

"What!"

Li Dahe suddenly stood up, slamming the table and cursing loudly, "What kind of disaster-bringing old hag! If it was on our turf, Hongzi would have pulled her hair and kicked her by now!"

Seeing Li Dahe’s furious reaction, Lin Nianhe’s anger miraculously subsided a bit.

Li Dahe clenched his fists, lit a cigarette, and said, "You going alone definitely won’t do, let Hongzi accompany you."

Lin Nianhe thought for a moment and refused, "It’s okay. Aunt Wang has been busy with the textile factory production recently. I’ll go with Sister Lan, and bring along Fourth Sie too. Don’t worry, I have acquaintances in Liao Province."

Li Dahe looked at her skeptically, "What acquaintances?"

Lin Nianhe casually responded, "My father’s comrade in arms."

This time, Li Dahe was reassured. He quickly wrote the letter of introduction, continuously asking while writing, "Is Xiao Su going with you?"

"He’s been busy attending meetings and giving reports at the police station recently, it’s nothing too big, I can handle it."

Perhaps it was her calm tone that made Li Dahe somewhat nervous, "What do you plan to do?"

"This matter isn’t too big but also not too small, if we really intervene, others might just dismiss it as a family issue," Lin Nianhe lowered her gaze and fidgeted with her fingernails indifferently, "If the issue can’t be resolved, then perhaps we should resolve the person causing the issue."

Li Dahe: "...!"

This little bastard isn’t planning to bury that old woman alive, is she!
