Chapter 330: Why Be a Dog?

Yubao's little face stiffened, and he said angrily, "You little traitor."

Actually, a trace of guilt flashed in his heart because he also wanted to learn.

Feeling that he had betrayed his dad, the little kid went "woo woo woo" in his heart.

Hengbao didn't admit he was a little traitor and explained aggrievedly, "I'm not a traitor; I just want to become strong."

Yubao also wanted to become strong, but thinking that his dad was their martial arts enlightenment, he felt that suddenly changing to learn something else was betrayal.

"No!"

Hengbao shook his brother's sleeve, "But practicing boxing doesn't make strength grow bigger. I want to be like Mom, have super big strength."

Yubao retorted seriously, "Dad's strength is also super big. He can carry you and me, plus Seeing Qian Bao and Yaobao. If he had another arm, he could also hold Mom. That's five people in total!"

Hengbao was temporarily persuaded. His little brain thought for a moment, then said: "But Big Egg Brother and Second Egg Brother can become strong now, and we have to wait until we grow up. It's so slow."

Yubao said with difficulty: "... Just wait."

Big Egg saw that the two cubs' expressions were too distressed and made a suggestion, "How about you go ask Little Aunt for her advice?"

Hengbao's eyes shone, "I'll go ask Mom."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

Running to Lin Zhao, he chattered out his thoughts, raised his little face, and asked expectantly: "Can I?"

Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you say Dad was the most powerful? Why do you suddenly want to learn from Great-Grandpa De?"

Hengbao was still honest, "What Great-Grandpa De teaches can increase strength; I want to become strong."

The herbal medicine Uncle De gave to soak in after practicing could increase strength, but it could only stimulate potential. How could it be so exaggerated? Otherwise, the Lin family would be too terrifying.

"Strength will increase slowly with age; pulling up seedlings to help them grow isn't good," Lin Zhao said patiently.

Meeting Hengbao's dim eyes, she added: "How about this? You two practice what Dad taught first. When you reach Big Egg and Second Egg's age, if you still want to practice this, I'll ask Great-Grandpa De to teach you, how about that?"

Uncle De nodded on the side.

He had no opinion; it was fine to teach whenever.

Yubao and Hengbao's age was indeed too small, and he couldn't bear to use heavy hands.

Hengbao nodded heavily and went to tell his brother.

Afterward, although the two cubs didn't follow Lin De to learn martial arts, they started learning other things from him. They learned what Lin family children learned since they were small, even Seeing Qian Bao and Yaobao were among them—

Learning two days a week.

This matter had Lin Zhao's consent.

She could roughly guess what they were learning. Just like when she followed her dad to learn painting when she was small, it was nothing more than some talents. It was good for the cubs.

The four cubs didn't understand anything and thought it was interesting, treating it like play. At the beginning, their interest was very high. After they really started learning, they found they could hear many stories, and they were all very happy, showing twelve points of enthusiasm.

Slowly.

When they found out they had to learn brush calligraphy, Hengbao's sky collapsed.

Only at this time, it was already too late.

The road was chosen by him; he had to finish walking it even if he had to kneel!

Speaking of which.

That day, Lin Zhao and the others tasted the snake soup Uncle De stewed. Taking a light sip to taste the flavor, their eyes lit up.

Immediately following, sounds of praise rang out one after another.

Second Egg exclaimed: "So snake meat is this delicious!"

"Xuanxuan, if you really can't swallow it, I'll help you! I can eat two bowls!" Big Egg saw Lin Xuan's distressed appearance and said to her with a grin.

"Big Egg Brother, Big Uncle and Big Aunt are here. You're coaxing my sister for her snake soup; aren't you afraid Big Uncle will break your legs?" Zhengzheng's voice was soft but carried thorns.

"How is it coaxing!" Big Egg didn't dare to admit it. While eating, he explained: "I saw Xuanxuan was distressed and wanted to relieve her worries. Xuan is my own cousin; could I coax her? What do you take Big Brother for?" He had a righteous appearance.

Zhengzheng curled her lips, "If you say there isn't, then there isn't..."

Turning her head to say to her sister: "Sister, if you're afraid, just close your eyes and eat? Just pretend you're eating chicken, fish, or rabbit meat; there's no difference. If you have to say there's a difference, then only..."

Her gaze fell on her own bowl of snake soup, "This one Great-Grandpa De made is especially, especially, especially delicious."

"Sister, you'll regret it if you don't eat."

"Look at Yubao and Hengbao eating until their heads can't even be lifted!"

And Little Aunt too!

"Delicious!" Hengbao answered in his spare time.

Yubao saw him eating until it was on his cheeks, took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and then relaxed his slightly furrowed brows.

Uncle De saw this scene, his eyes kind.

Taking advantage of the children talking, Lin Zhao finished a bowl, went to the kitchen to fill another, sat down happily, and started eating.

Fragrant.

Seeing her eating happily, Uncle De looked doting and said: "If you love it, I'll make it for you again later. What's difficult about making it once every half month."

"Thank you, Grandpa De. Catching snakes is too dangerous; it's enough to just pick up a leak and eat it once to satisfy the craving," Lin Zhao said.

The heartache in Uncle De's heart was about to overflow.

Little Miss was too sensible, truly making his heart ache.

If the family head knew his own granddaughter couldn't even eat snake soup to her heart's content, how heartbroken would he be.

Thinking of this, he felt he had to take good care of the Young Master's family for the family head.

"It's fine, Grandpa De has the skill to catch snakes. If you want to eat, just say so, and I'll go catch them."

Lin Heling raised his eyebrows, "Uncle De knows how to catch snakes? I actually haven't heard you mention it."

Uncle De smiled modestly, "It's just a small trick not worth mentioning, not worth talking about."

"..."

A table of cubs looked at Uncle De with worship.

Big Egg wiped his mouth and asked: "Great-Grandpa De, can you teach me how to catch snakes?"

"Why do you want to learn this?" Uncle De didn't rush to refuse, just asked.

"I heard the county hospital collects snake gallbladders. If I learn how to catch snakes, I can earn money for the family," Big Egg said.

Second Egg's eyes lit up, his face full of "why didn't I think of that" expression.

Before he could express his stance, he saw his brother get hit on the back of the head not lightly or heavily; it was Lin Shichang who hit him.

He said faintly: "If you dare to catch snakes, you'll be a head shorter than Second Egg."

"??" Big Egg was full of question marks, "Why?"

Lin Shichang revealed a kind smile, "Because I will break your legs."

Big Egg only felt his calves ache.

When did his dad learn to tell such cold jokes!?

Uncle De smiled helplessly at Big Egg, indicating that he was also powerless.

Even if Shichang didn't speak, he wouldn't teach the Lin family children how to catch snakes. He had learned it himself and knew it was a bitter job.

Yubao looked at Uncle De and asked: "Great-Grandpa De, when you catch snakes, have you ever been bitten?"

"Bitten," Uncle De said, "Walking by the river often, how can one not get their shoes wet? Fortunately, what bit me wasn't a poisonous snake."

Yubao patted his little chest and said as if relieved, "Fortunately it wasn't a poisonous snake."

Uncle De was slightly startled, then his old face piled up with smiles.

After eating, Chen Yu and Chu Ning were washing pots and pans in the kitchen, and Lin Zhao and the others were in the yard when several people suddenly broke into the Lin family.

"Where is Chu Ning?"

Chu Ning in the kitchen heard the sound in the yard, her face deathly pale.

"They found us..." her voice trembled.

Chen Yu held her cold hand, her eyes firm, "The family is all here; we won't let anyone take you away. Don't be afraid."

Chu Ning was uneasy in her heart, "But they have so many people..."

Before she finished speaking, she wanted to go out, but was pulled by Chen Yu.

"Don't be impulsive, look first and then talk."

Outside the yard, the person speaking threatened, "Hand over Chu Ning, or don't blame me for dragging your whole family to the big prison!"

Song Xiwei sat there like a general, her expression slightly heavy, her tone cold and stern, "What Chu Ning? Never seen her. No one has dared to be arrogant in front of me yet. Get out!"

The few people who broke into the Lin family door looked at each other.

Immediately following, they laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha."

One of them spat on the ground and said to the leader: "Big Brother, this old woman told us to get out. How do you want to vent your anger?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a stone flew toward him, hitting his stinky mouth directly.

Only hearing an "ouch," he covered his mouth, and the next moment spat out a tooth with blood.

Uncle De followed the trajectory of the stone and met Lin Zhao's innocent smiling face.

She didn't want to do it either, but this person's mouth was too stinky; she couldn't help it.

The old man gave a thumbs up to Lin Zhao.

This protective look was exactly the same as the Lin family members.

"My tooth!" The arrogant kid who lost his front tooth trembled with anger, let out an "ah ah ah ah," and pointed at Lin Zhao, clamoring, "I'm going to kill you!!!"

Lin Zhao put down her enamel mug, her tone unhurried, "If you had the ability to kill me, would you still need to be a dog?"

"You!"

Song Xiwei interrupted the madman's clamoring, "Shichang, go get my whip. I haven't exercised for a long time, and my bones are almost loose. It's just right to loosen them."

Seeing the interest on her own mother's face, Lin Shichang didn't persuade her, went into the room to get the whip, and after giving the black whip to Song Xiwei, rushed over, his sandbag-sized fist smashing into the nose of the person who was giving orders.

Wu Jian'an only felt his nose sour and painful, and two lines of bright red blood flowed out.

"You..."

Before he could spit out a word, his right cheek took another punch.

Others saw their leader being hit and surrounded Lin Shichang, attacking him in a group.

Before their fists could fall, their wrists were circled by the black whip. Before they could react, their bodies were forced to shift, one after another, flying out of the big gate like dumplings.

Previously, seeing so many people come to the Lin family, the people of the Dongfeng Brigade didn't know why and all came to the Lin family to watch the fun. At this time, the entrance was crowded with people.

Seeing people flying out, the crowd retreated tacitly, making a space.

Those who had seen this scene looked at the few people thrown out with sympathy, shook their heads, and clicked their tongues, "Oh my, it's truly miserable. It's been many years since I've seen Zhaozhao's mom use a whip to throw people. These young people, why didn't they inquire before coming... which one of this family is easy to provoke?"

Young people, too impulsive.

"... Look at the one at the very bottom, he has blood on his mouth; he must have been hit until he vomited blood, he looks truly miserable!"

"Coming to the door so rashly! My Aunt Song could solve them with one hand." Lin Shisheng's childhood friend heard the situation and hurried over to help. As soon as he arrived, he saw the troublemakers flying out of the Lin family door, his dark face full of schadenfreude.

Lin Shichang carried a pig-head face, his arm exerted force, and threw the person out.

"Get lost, if you dare to come to the door again, watch out for your dog legs! Young, not doing proper work, asking for a beating!"

Pig-head Wu Jian'an fell onto his underlings. Because he pointed at Lin Zhao, he was hit the hardest, his nose and face were swollen, and his arm was broken.

His anger toward Lin Shichang overwhelmed his obsession with finding Chu Ning.

"You... you wait."

After leaving the harsh words, afraid of being hit again, he subconsciously hid behind his subordinates.

After hiding, he felt he had lost face. His face, where his features couldn't be seen clearly, turned blue and white, his nails sank into his flesh, and his eyes were venomous.

"Just wait, let's see what you can do to me!" Lin Shichang stood on the steps, looking down at him, not afraid at all.

Wu Jian'an knew he couldn't take advantage and didn't dare to stay long, leaving with a few subordinates like a stray dog.

Once the troublemakers left, a group of little cubs rushed out of the room door.

Yubao and Hengbao hugged their chests with their short arms and let out a "humph" full of unhappiness from their nasal cavities.

"Who provoked you two again?" Lin Zhao asked speechlessly.

Hengbao said dissatisfiedly: "You drove us back to the room!"

Lin Zhao rolled her eyes, "What could you two, who are a bit taller than the table, do if you stayed?"

Hearing this hitting remark, Hengbao widened his eyes and argued, "My brother and I practice boxing every day; we can fight. Even if... even if we're small, we can help Uncle hold the bad guy's thighs."

Lin Zhao laughed mockingly, "Holding thighs, hahaha, you two are light as a feather. If I kick my leg forward, you two could fly out. You still want to help? Don't be a hindrance, that's all."

The twins' cheeks puffed up.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao restrained herself slightly and touched the two cubs' heads, "The heart is good, the adults appreciate it. If you want to help, wait until you're adults. Learn from your Big Egg Brother and the others; they didn't say a word of nonsense and took you into the room. That is the correct way to do things."

"Being a hero without strength is being a fool."

She flicked her fingers and knocked on the two sons who wanted to see all the fun, and said unhappily: "Curiosity kills the cat; don't try to get to the bottom of everything."

The twins received such a lesson, at least on the surface they didn't dare to have any more opinions, but in their hearts, they thought that the adults didn't let them help because they were too weak. When they became strong, if they encountered such things again, Mom wouldn't say they were helping if they rushed up.

Add ten minutes of extra practice every day from now on!

Big Egg and the others knew Yubao and Hengbao had to be scolded and thought that the two cousins could be considered their pawns, so they touched their noses guiltily.

It wasn't just these two cubs; they would have been scolded too, because... they were also a bit unconvinced.

After scolding the two sons who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, Lin Zhao looked at Song Xiwei, "Mom, those few people just now shouldn't let it go, right..."

Song Xiwei said: "You don't need to worry, I'll solve it."

She frowned, "They haven't been peaceful for a few days, and it's chaotic again. It won't work if no one manages it."

She couldn't manage other places, but the commune where several brigades were located, she had to manage.

The environment had a great influence on the children's growth and couldn't be sloppy.

"Okay." Lin Zhao agreed.

She also saw that the leader was dissatisfied with her big brother, and he was greasy and disgusting; he deserved to be punished.

Having received the Lin family's help, Chu Ning thanked them solemnly.

"Thank you, I've caused you trouble..."

Just as she said this, a male voice rang out at the big gate.

"Ningning!!" Chu An shouted. Seeing his sister was fine, he let out a long breath, "It's good that you're fine. When I learned Wu Jian'an brought people to the Dongfeng Brigade, I came immediately, afraid I wouldn't make it in time. It's good that you're fine."

Afterward, he bowed deeply to the Lin family.

"Thank you all for protecting my sister's safety!"

Song Xiwei wrapped the black whip around her wrist and said faintly: "Comrade Chu is a guest temporarily staying at my house; of course, we won't watch her have an accident." ===== CHAPTER 331 =====

It was at this very sentence that a man's voice rang out from the main entrance.

"Ningning!!" Chu An shouted. Seeing his younger sister was unharmed, he let out a long sigh of relief. "It's good that you're okay. As soon as I learned Wu Jian'an had brought people to the Dongfeng Brigade, I came immediately, terrified I wouldn't make it in time. It's good that you're okay."

He then bowed deeply to the Lin family.

"Thank you all for protecting my sister's safety!"

Song Xiwei wrapped her black whip around her wrist and said indifferently, "Comrade Chu is a guest staying at our home; naturally, we wouldn't just watch her come to harm."
