Chapter 194: Is a ghost coming? Why are you running so fast?

Xiao Shitou shouted as he ran toward them.

Shi Lin handed the item in his hand to An Yi beside him, then reached out and lifted Xiao Shitou into his arms: "Did you miss me?"

"Missed you."

Xiao Shitou said cheerfully.

"Good."

Shi Lin patted Xiao Shitou's head, looked around and saw his two nephews still playing soccer with Shi Yun, not coming over; he grew even more fond of Xiao Shitou.

After all, he kept him in both his sight and his heart.

Unlike those two nephews.

He had been standing here for so long, yet they acted as if they couldn't see him.

When they really need him, they need him; when they don't, they don't even give him a glance.

"Where's your mother?"

Shi Lin, holding Xiao Shitou, asked as he walked.

Xiao Shitou told him truthfully.

Shi Lin learned that Qiao Sheng and Qiao Hushui were busy in the kitchen; he set him down, took An Jiu and the others, and headed toward the kitchen.

When they came over.

An Shi was slaughtering a chicken; due to his mishandling, the chicken wasn't fully dead. When Shi Lin and the others got close, the chicken flew out of the bucket, splashing water or blood all over them.

"Master, An Jiu, An Yi, I… I didn't do it on purpose, I'll clean you."

An Shi suddenly slipped and lunged at Shi Lin.

Shi Lin dodged, but couldn't avoid the splashing water, because An Shi collided with a wooden bucket nearby; when the bucket tipped, its water poured out.

An Shi fell, and the water splashed onto him, right?

Shi Lin's face visibly darkened.

His brand‑new clothes, just put on today, were already this mess after only a short while!

"An Shi!"

Shi Lin's voice was teeth‑gritted.

An Shi wasn't very smart, but not completely stupid; just by looking, he could tell Shi Lin wanted to beat him.

He turned and ran toward the kitchen.

An Liu happened to be carrying hot water at that moment; luckily he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have collided.

"Is a ghost coming? Why are you running so fast!"

Shi Lin, who just walked in, said: "……"

"Each of them needs to be dealt with!"

An Liu, seeing Shi Lin enter, forced a smile and said, "Master, I didn't call you a ghost; to me, you're like a god. How could you possibly……"

"Shut up!"

After scolding, Shi Lin marched inside.

An Shi reached out and tugged at Qiao Sheng's hem: "Qiao Niangzi, save me……"

Qiao Sheng: "……"

How could she save?

When Shi Lin approached, Qiao Sheng asked, "Shi Lin, how did you get like this?"

"There was such a commotion outside just now, didn't you hear?"

Shi Lin asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng said calmly, "I heard it, but I didn't see……"

Shi Lin hadn't spoken yet.

An Jiu first recounted the whole incident to Qiao Sheng in detail.

Qiao Sheng, having figured out what happened, said, "Shi Lin, An Shi, he, he……"

"What 'he' are you talking about? You want to say it wasn't on purpose? You are not allowed to plead for him!"

With a single command, Shi Lin had An Jiu and the others drag An Shi out.

Qiao Sheng looked at An Shi with sympathy.

After a short while.

An Shi's wailing could be heard.

Lan Yue Niang, somewhat worried, said, "Lianhua, why don't you go out and see? Ask Shi Lin to be lenient; it's the New Year, if someone is seriously injured, how can we eat?"

Hearing that.

Qiao Sheng casually said, "Mother, didn't you hear what he just said? I still won't go. Maybe you stand at the door and persuade?"

An angry Shi Lin is not easy to deal with.
