Chapter 183 I'm Here
None of the three members of the Lin family are simple, yet in the eyes of a certain girl, her brother is just an ordinary person.
Back when he was scammed, he thought the kid was just a greenhorn, but look what happened!
Scarface was basking in the sun when he heard a series of banging sounds coming from the yard. He had just closed his eyes and dozed off for a moment when he heard someone open the door.
Then came the sound of someone dropping their axe and letting out a roar and howl.
"You, surnamed Gu, dare to come here? What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to come?"
“Let me tell you, the door is right behind you. You’d better get out of here from where you came from, or I’ll make you regret it.”
"I want to see Cai'er."
"See you, see you, see you? I'll never see you. There's no Cai'er here. You should go see your Caixia instead."
"Your Caixia is just down here in Zhangjiagou. You can see her in just a few steps. Maybe she's happily waiting for you to come to her house right now."
Lin Bao spoke in a sarcastic tone, but Gu Zhan completely ignored him and walked straight into the house. However, Lin Bao had no intention of letting him in.
He blocked his way: "Hey, you surnamed Gu, didn't you hear what I just said?"
"If you hear me, then get back here. If you go any further, do you believe I'll be rude to you?"
Although he couldn't beat this person, he could still inflict serious injuries on him. At worst, he would risk everything and not let him through the door today.
"They have nothing to do with me, I didn't..."
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? They've come to your door to discuss the betrothal gifts and even said they want to stay at your house. If it really had nothing to do with you, would they say that?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan suddenly stopped being in a hurry, took two steps back, and looked at Lin Bao calmly.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Whoever comes to me is my own business. Why is he in such a hurry?
Upon hearing the question, Lin Bao looked at Gu Zhan and asked, "W-W-Am I in a hurry?"
"Where am I in a hurry?"
"Which eye of yours saw me looking anxious?"
The silence spoke volumes, and Lin Bao couldn't bear it, but he couldn't just run away like that, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I just think you're such a womanizer."
"I've been so shameless... Anyway, I just can't stand you being like this, so I don't want you to come and take care of the family, that's all."
Gu Zhan wouldn't leave, and Lin Bao couldn't push him out, so Scarface just sat in the courtyard watching them.
Completely unaware, Lin Cai returned from outside and, as soon as she entered the courtyard, saw two men staring at each other, refusing to budge.
She walked past, and Gu Zhan, seeing this, was about to grab the person. Lin Bao, not to be outdone, followed suit.
But Lin Cai was not about to let them catch her. She dodged immediately when the two men reached out.
"I have something I want to tell you."
Gu Zhan did not continue to arrest people, but directly stated his purpose.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao spoke up first: "What's there to say? You can tell me what you want to say."
Lin Cai stopped and didn't speak. She still remembered everything that happened on the mountain yesterday, including the things she said. She hadn't forgotten a single word.
I haven't forgotten anything, which is why I don't know what I'm really thinking!
After chasing Zhang Caixia and the others away this morning, she left with a basket on her back and a big cloud of dust. She found a place to stay by herself and only came back now!
By the river, Lin Cai lowered her head and kicked at the pebbles on the bank: "Knowing my brother would be angry, why did you say that?"
“He’s angry every day, whether he says anything or not, it’s all the same.”
"Then tell me, what do you want from me?"
"You really don't know?"
Gu Zhan looked at the girl in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai didn't know how to respond, so she simply stopped and remained silent.
Gu Zhan remained silent, seemingly waiting for her to speak. Lin Cai looked at the frozen surface of the river and sighed.
"I'm a widow!"
"I am single."
"My reputation is bad!"
I live alone.
"I do not follow the three rules and have no moral virtues."
"There are no elders in the family, so my wife is the most important person."
Lin Cai glanced at the person next to her and turned to look at them.
As she turned around, she met the other person's eyes. Their eyes locked, and Lin Cai forgot to move.
Not far away, Lin Bao hid outside a family's woodshed, crouching low and staring intently at two figures beside the river.
"Damn it, what is this bastard trying to do? Doesn't he know it's cold by the river? How could he take my sister, a young girl, to the river?"
"He probably wanted to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."
The one speaking was Scarface, who had come along too. He had originally planned not to come, because some of the commotion could be deadly.
But he couldn't resist the urge, so he secretly followed along.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao turned around to look at Gu Zhan, then turned back to look at him. The more he looked, the more he felt that Scarface was right.
"Damn it, has he been living alone for too long? Is he developing some kind of mental problem?"
Otherwise, how could someone have such an evil idea?
Lin Bao stood up, ready to attack, but Scarface quickly stopped him: "Hey, what's the rush?"
"We're already at the riverbank, and there's nobody around. What if he really makes a move?"
It's the dead of winter now, and his younger sister is a girl. If Scarface's prediction really comes true, wouldn't his sister be the one who suffers?
"I was just saying, it's not true. Besides, I was talking about that kind of shameless scoundrel. Do you think that person is that kind of shameless scoundrel?"
Hearing this, Lin Bao quieted down, but his eyes never left that spot.
He stared at the two men, craning his neck as far as he could, trying to hear what they were saying.
After Lin Cai and Gu Zhan locked eyes, she tried to turn her head away, but the man's hand moved faster than she could.
A pair of large hands landed on her shoulders, preventing her from turning around; she could only turn her head to the side.
"...But I have a father and mother, and three older brothers, they..."
"There is me."
"The Gu family also has..."
"There is me."
"Gu Family Village and the others..."
“I’ll take care of them all.”
Lin Cai didn't know what to say. She had given all the reasons she could and made all the excuses she could, but he wasn't afraid at all.
She wanted to think it over, but her shoulder was still in his hands, and then their eyes met again: "Can you let go of me first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two large hands on his shoulders immediately released him. Lin Cai kicked the river and said, "You have to get past your parents first."
"I know."
"Third Brother won't agree."
"Having parents is enough."
"It's almost noon, I need to go back and cook."
"I'll take you back."
