Fang Yunrou was just ten and she didn’t even have any idea about getting married but Xing Bengt started to harass her sister by always getting in her path and trying to get close to her. Fang Yunrou didn’t dare to tell her parents about Xing Bengt harassing her, if she did then instead of asking for justice for her, her parents would have sold her away for a decent price without even blinking their eyes. And telling Fang Xiaolin wasn’t going to be much help either, in the end, Fang Tao was the one who sensed that something was wrong with her sister and tried to follow her one day and what she found out made her blood boil.
Her younger sister who wasn’t even of age yet was being harassed by a man who was twice her age! How can that do? Thus, she tried to attract Xing Bengt’s attention to herself. Because fighting that son of the landlord was never an option for her, however, Fang Tao bit more than she could chew this time because Xing Bengt was unlike any other village guy she has been with and he wasn’t easy to fool. If not for Lin Chen that day, who knows what would have happened to her.
” Fang Tao, You…!” By the time, Fang Tao finished telling everyone what happened to her, Fang Xiaolin was so furious that she wanted to smack this stupid sister of her. Seriously, she has told Fang Tao not to bite off more than she can chew but this stupid girl just doesn’t listen look at what happened, if not for Lin Chen who knows what would have happened to her. Fang Tao was guilty and Fang Xiaolin was furious but they couldn’t just create a scene at the Lin house, so the two of them didn’t say anything more.
Fang Xiaolin just glared at Fang Tao until the latter shivered then pushed Fang Tao’s head as she bowed together with her. ” Brother Chen, I am sorry. It was because of my foolish sister that you were entangled in that mess, if not for her. This wouldn’t have happened to you.”
Fang Xiaolin was really upset, the girl was such a troublemaker! She just looked away from her for a few months and she attracted such a tricky character! If not for Lin Chen, this girl would have just died in that bamboo forest and no one would have found out a thing! Idiot! And what’s more, instead of telling her what trouble she attracted, she hid it from her! Fang Xiaolin wanted to whack Fang Tao’s butt like she did when they were young!
Lin Chen who was stunned by Fang Tao’s sudden confession immediately got out of his daze and waved his hands, ” it’s alright. No sweat at all, It was something that I was supposed to do… I am just glad that she is fine.”
Lin Chen was prepared to spout out a number of excuses in his defence and was really shocked when he heard Fang Tao speak up for him, he has been prejudiced against her because she was ornery like his second sister but only did he realise that Fang Tao’s arrogant and loud behaviour was her defence mechanism and she wasn’t as selfish as his second sister. He has been prejudiced against her for so long for no reason at all.
Fang Xiaolin still didn’t think that what happened can just be forgiven with an apology so she made up her mind to send free eggs to the Lin house for a lifetime. Their family was their benefactor and it would be wrong of her to take money from her benefactor.
However, her suggestion was declined by Lin Yan who said that it didn’t take much on their part and their families were good friends with each other for a long time, calling them benefactors would be too much and will draw a line between the two families unconsciously causing a rift, so it was better that they stayed how they always were.
Fang Xiaolin nodded her head feeling even more emotional as she knocked on Fang Tao’s head and admonishingly spoke, ” from now on don’t even think about picking a fight with the Lin brothers or else I will be the first to whoop your ass.”
Fang Tao felt wrong though her method was wrong, she was trying to do something good. Why was it that she was being scolded like this? Didn’t she do that all because she wanted to protect her sister?
” But they said that we can treat them as we do, why are you asking-” Fang Tao began complaining with a pout but then, she faltered under her sister’s glare and swallowed back the words that she wanted to say, alright whatever. She will keep herself in check in front of her sister.
Lin Yan who was in charge of the situation then turned to look at Zhang Xiaohui with a complicated gaze, it was true that this aunt of his had just done a solid favour for them but it was hard for him to forget all those wrongs that she had done when they were young and by the bemused expressions on his brothers’ faces, they were just as confused about it. However, it was a fact that she did help them so it wouldn’t be right for them to send her away empty-handed, ” Thank you for your help. Ah, is there we can help you with?”
Zhang Xiaohui turned to look at Lin Zhi and when the latter nodded, she looked at Lin Yan and said solemnly, ” I want a divorce.”
