Chapter 240 Sorrow, Sorrow of All
Lin Zhengyong was stunned. Was this how you trained to have an iron body and copper skin? Although he hadn't learned it, he didn't want to be fooled like a three-year-old!
Aunt Zhang couldn't bear to watch any longer. Impatiently, she slapped her son and pushed him outside.
"Alright, stop thinking up weird ideas. As long as you don't cause trouble in the future, why would Linlan attack you for no reason? Go back to sleep now. You're a grown man, all you want to do is have dreams you can't wake up from."
"Mother, be careful! These two bottles of medicine will be my life-saving medicine from now on..."
After Lin Zhengyong left, Aunt Zhang was left behind, and she took the two sisters back to the guest room they always stayed in.
After Aunt Zhang entered the guest room, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she looked somewhat worried, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to.
Lin Chunyi asked directly, "Auntie, is there something you want to say to us?"
Upon entering the room, Lin Lanshan, who was half-lying on the bed, sat up as well. "Auntie, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Aunt Zhang first asked about their health again, and after learning that there was nothing wrong, she asked about the thing she had been worried about these past few days.
“Xiaoyi, Lanshan, I treat you like my own daughters, and I believe what you say. So after thinking it over, I still want to ask you about this matter and hear the truth from your aunt.”
The two sisters remained silent, waiting quietly for Aunt Zhang to continue.
"A while ago, that girl Linlan came over specifically to apologize and tell us that she knows martial arts."
As you all know, our family has absolutely no prejudice against girls learning martial arts. Knowing martial arts is great; I feel much more at ease when they go out!
But you know, Zhengyong's brain and his foul mouth are sometimes really infuriating.
I was thinking, what if, what if! If he and Linlan got into a fight and things escalated, and we didn't know, or couldn't stop them... what if Linlan couldn't hold back and beat him to death?
Sometimes when I close my eyes to sleep, I feel a little worried and scared when I think about this.
Aunt Zhang only had two sons in her life. Although she wasn't the type to live for her sons, she wasn't to the point where "my sons are my life."
But I never dared to imagine that anything might happen to them.
Zhengyong was her youngest son, mischievous and naughty from a young age, never doing anything productive. But he was always a kind, loyal, and filial son!
As his mother, she sometimes scolded him harshly and even occasionally hit him. Even just now in the main room, when she heard he was going to be beaten, she laughed and said he deserved it…
But the thought of her child being seriously injured and lying there half-dead always made her worried.
Before the two sisters could figure out how to comfort Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang spoke again:
"It's not that I have a problem with Linlan, nor that I don't trust her! But when you argue, sometimes when you're angry, you never know what might happen, right?"
I don't care about minor squabbles; as a wife, I should discipline her. My only fear is that I might accidentally hit her too hard… What if Zhengyong can't escape it? What will we do then?
Sigh! It's all Zhengyong's fault for being so useless. I told him to learn martial arts properly before, but he wouldn't. Now, I'm really afraid he won't even be able to withstand a few punches.
If Zhengmin were in this situation, I wouldn't be worried at all. After all, how can someone who hasn't practiced martial arts compare to someone who has trained for over ten years?
Aunt Zhang talked about many things she was worried about, and the more she talked, the more worried she became, as if she could already see her second son covered in injuries every day in the future.
The two sisters exchanged a glance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
No matter how much you complain, your own child will always be your own child...
Lin Chunyi gently comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry too much. Although Sister Ning knows martial arts, she is definitely not the kind of person who gets angry easily or fights with others."
After spending a few time with her, they realized that Ning Linlan wasn't as witty as her appearance suggested.
Actually, like Lin Zhengyong, they are both quite simple-minded and straightforward.
They say she might suddenly fly into a rage and hit people, hmm... maybe that's a little bit true...
But it’s not a big problem!
Aunt Zhang then asked, "Xiao Yi, Lan Shan, what do you think of Lin Lan's martial arts skills? Isn't she amazing?"
How could they tell Aunt Zhang that Ning Linlan could definitely handle a few ordinary people with her bare hands?
That's not right!
It sounds like even Zhang's entire family combined wouldn't be enough for Ning Linlan to handle.
Aunt Zhang must be so worried... the wedding might even fall through!
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chunyi could only say, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, we're here for you."
Lin Lanshan also said, "That's right, Aunt Zhang, even if you don't trust anyone else, you should trust us!"
That guy in the county town who can play hopscotch and leap off rooftops like it's nothing is actually a highly skilled master trained by a major sect.
My sister and I fought him to a draw in no time. But he had just as many injuries as we did!
When this is mentioned, Lin Lanshan becomes extremely proud, feeling incredibly awesome.
Aunt Zhang opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing the smug look on her face, she swallowed it back.
He could only nod slowly and reply, "Yes, our daughter is wonderful."
"Hehe~"
Aunt Zhang continued to ramble on, sharing many of her innermost thoughts, some about her youngest son, some about her future daughter-in-law, and some about her eldest son and his wife, and the two sisters…
The two sisters would occasionally respond and offer a few words of comfort. They also recounted, in a selective manner, their encounters with Ning Linlan, which eased Aunt Zhang's mind somewhat.
Aunt Zhang probably didn't necessarily want to receive words of comfort from anyone; rather, she had been holding back her worries for too long and wanted to talk about them to relieve her frustration.
"Auntie talked a bit too much today, please don't mind her. Alright, I won't bother you anymore, go to sleep."
"Auntie, get a good night's sleep. The weather will be beautiful tomorrow," Lin Lanshan smiled at her, revealing her white teeth.
"Okay~" Aunt Zhang smiled easily, patted the two sisters' hands, and left the house.
Today was a day filled with all sorts of messy things, and it was quite tiring. The two sisters yawned and climbed into bed.
At this time,
"Knock knock~"
A soft knocking sound suddenly reached their ears.
The two sisters didn't realize who it was. "Auntie's back again?"
"Xiaoyi, Lanshan, are you asleep?" A low voice followed.
It's Yang Huiyun, Sister-in-law Yang.
Lin Chunyi resignedly slipped on her shoes and went to open the door.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Yang Huiyun slipped into the house, peeking out half her head like a thief, glancing left and right at the doorway.
Without any further noise, she quickly and quietly closed the door.
"Xiaoyi, Lanshan, I'm so sorry to be looking for you so late. Don't worry, I won't keep you any longer. I'll just say a few words and leave right away!"
"Sister-in-law, it's alright, go ahead and tell me." The two sisters were both amused and exasperated.
