Chapter 21 -21 Lan Hua, Good Friend (2)_1
As expected, once she heard that Lin Dashuan had gotten drunk again, Lady Chen gave up on the idea of having him take revenge for her.
Even if he hadn’t been drunk, she wouldn’t have expected him to stand up for her.
She knew all too well he would never take her side.
“You remember this, talk less about other people, and if I, Lin Lanhua, hear it again, I’ll chop you with a kitchen knife too!” Lanhua ran up, raised her arm, and mimicked the motion of chopping someone.
That fierce look really did resemble the manner of a great bandit robbing a house.
Most of those under the locust tree had seen Lin Yuan wielding a knife to chop at someone, and even if they hadn’t seen it, they had heard about it countless times.
Moreover, the way she had just come up and started slapping and smacking people around made everyone shake their heads and stay as far away as possible.
When Lady Chen saw no one was speaking up for her, she got up, dusted herself off, and quickly left, although she continued to curse under her breath.
Lin Yuan didn’t bother with her; people who only dared to take advantage verbally weren’t worth her attention.
“Yuanyuan, you tell me, did you really chop someone with a knife?
Yesterday, our whole family went back to grandmother’s house for the market, and we didn’t return to the village until this afternoon.
That’s right, did you also catch two big pythons with your bare hands?
Oh my, when did you become so…
formidable?” Lanhua was Lin Yuan’s only playmate in Linjia Hollow, and this girl had a tomboyish nature and didn’t care about her Little Disaster Star reputation.
They always spoke frankly with each other, and Lin Yuan had liked her character from the very beginning.
Lanhua rattled on and on, and without waiting for Lin Yuan to respond, she asked curiously again, “Where are you sisters headed?
Why are you out and about in the middle of the day instead of sleeping at home?
Is something wrong?”
It was no wonder Lanhua was surprised.
The old Lin Yuan was similar to Lin Wei, afraid of people calling her “Little Disaster Star” and hardly ever leaving the house, always cooped up inside.
Lanhua, being her closest friend, naturally guessed that the sisters must have had something important to do to leave the house that day.
Lin Yuan patted Lanhua’s hand and smiled, “Nothing’s wrong, we’re just going to visit Grandpa and Grandma.”
Lanhua pouted, but then heard Lin Yuan say, “If you’re not busy, how about you wait at my house for me?
I might need your help with something later.”
Of course, Lanhua agreed, “Okay, I’ll just take this pig fodder home and then head over to your house.” Lanhua’s family was raising two piglets, and since no one was home yesterday, she hurried to gather some pig fodder to feed them at noon.
She hadn’t expected to walk up and hear Lady Ma’s nonsense, which made her unable to hold back from starting an argument.
After this interlude, Xiao Linshuang seemed to have lost some of her fear as well, holding her older sister’s hand and happily skipping ahead.
When the two reached the old house’s entrance, the front door was tightly closed, which made sense—Lin Jianling’s elderly parents were likely taking a nap, as for the third aunt and uncle, they were lazy and most likely wanted to lie in bed all day if they could.
With Uncle Lin Jiazhong not home, and with their mother having moved out, only Aunt Ma was left to do all the work in the house; she was probably taking a nap too.
Lin Yuan curled her lips into a smile.
Sleep?
My family is barely keeping the pot boiling, yet you still have the mood for sleep!
But, whether you’ll be able to sleep tonight, I don’t know.
Lin Yuan knocked on the door a few times without hearing a response, and then knocked again forcefully.
Finally, she heard Lady Yang’s exasperated voice from inside: “Lady Ma, you lazybones, go open the door!”
Then came the sound of Lady Ma’s frantic agreement and her grumbling complaints: “Who is it, who is it?
Knocking in the middle of the day, coming!”
Lin Yuan put on a sweet smile and sweetly called out to Lady Ma as the door opened, “Auntie, it’s me, Yuanyuan.”
