Chapter 743: Everyone Got Beaten
Hiss~
Lin Shiyi took a deep breath.
Hold on a bit, look at you all bruised, it'll probably take a day or two to fade! If your body hadn't been enhanced, you'd have been beaten to death today.
Lin Feng, while applying safflower oil to his son Lin Shiyi, muttered.
Lin Shiyi rolled his eyes.
When he was getting beaten, Dad just stood by watching, not saying a word to stop it.
Just watched him get beaten by Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao.
Afterwards he comes to play the good guy, humph! Chinese web.
They're just superficial bruises, either on thick flesh or areas that can take a beating.
Sibling fights, of course, can't involve lethal moves.
Did you remember the lesson this time?
Seeing Lin Shiyi silent, Lin Feng asked again.
What lesson?
Lin Shiyi countered.
Lin Feng sighed, "Eleven, your personality won't do! When you play with others, you must always consider the majority's interests."
Only then will you be popular in the small group; although your idea is good, you don't need to express it so bluntly.
Look at history, many such honest officials gained fame but lived like tyrants, with no one wanting to associate with them.
Lin Feng spouted a big pile of reasoning.
Lin Shiyi said, "Mom said my personality is quite good."
Mom said that?
Lin Feng asked.
Lin Shiyi grunted.
Lin Feng opened his mouth, slapped Lin Shiyi's butt, "All right! Mom's right!"
Uh, Dad, you weren't just advising me, were you?
Lin Shiyi, seeing Dad change his mind, asked doubtfully.
Having admitted Mom was right, doesn't all that earlier talk become nonsense?
Lin Feng laughed, "Mom is always right!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Shiyi suddenly understood.
Dad still hasn't changed.
Because if Mom heard such words, she'd surely be pleased.
Now that you've applied the medicine, it'll be fine in at most a day; next time don't go head-to-head with Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao again.
This time you got beaten; if you do it again next time, they'll still hit you.
Next time will be the same; you'll still lose to Lin Chang'e, and the more often this happens, the more that whenever you encounter something,
they'll form a habit of hitting you first before anything else gets done.
Dad, why do you just watch them beat me and not stop them? I'm your son too.
Lin Shiyi finally couldn't hold back and asked.
Lin Feng laughed, "You'll know when you become a dad. If I tried to stop them, I'd be helping you. But they're two and you're one.
That way they'd think you're more important than both of them.
Besides, fighting among kids is completely normal; before long you'll be friends again.
Lin Shiyi said, "Sounds nice! You just want to watch them teach me a lesson to fix this temperament.
Haven't you heard that rivers and mountains can change but nature is hard to alter?
Smack~
As soon as the words fell, Lin Shiyi's butt got a smack.
This kid got a beating and still hasn't remembered the lesson.
At the same moment.
Lin Chang'e, Lin Baobao, you're really great!
Song Jiaren hugged Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao, beaming.
Beside them, two giant panda cubs lay on Song Jiaren's small bed, looking like two fluffy toys.
Song Jiaren really liked those two giant pandas.
She also wanted to keep pandas at home instead of taking time to go to the Base to see them.
Because at home she can play however she wants.
At the Base, various regulations limit panda-play time.
Big Sis, you're not mad at us anymore?
Lin Chang'e asked.
Song Jiaren laughed, "Of course I'm not mad at you; you're my sisters, how could I hold a grudge?"
Big Sis, I'll help you become an Enhancer.
Lin Chang'e said.
Song Jiaren said, "Dad should handle this!"
Hmm!
Lin Chang'e nodded.
At that moment, a figure appeared at the doorway.
To Lin Chang'e, this figure was too intimidating.
It turned out to be Meiwu.
"Aunt Wu, hello!"
Song Jiaren and Lin Baobao politely called out.
"Lin Chang'e, come here!"
Meiwu nodded at Song Jiaren and Lin Baobao, then looked at Lin Chang'e and said sternly.
"Oh no!"
Lin Chang'e knew she was going to be punished.
She leapt up and jumped out the window, trying to run.
But after jumping out, she hadn't taken a few steps before Meiwu grabbed her.
"Mom..."
Lin Chang'e called out with a look of grievance.
Meiwu grabbed Lin Chang'e by the back of her collar, just like before, and led her toward her own Yuan Zi.
Lin Chang'e had already steadily lost the courage to resist, her body weakly swaying.
"Lin Chang'e is going to be unlucky."
Lin Baobao said.
Song Jiaren said helplessly: "You two stole the giant panda home, you made a mistake, and you deserve punishment."
Lin Baobao shrugged and said: "I don't think it's that; I think we just hit Lin Shiyi."
"Ah~"
Song Jiaren looked surprised.
The two of them hitting Lin Shiyi is really not good.
Looking at Lin Baobao, Song Jiaren frowned and said: "Lin Baobao, you dare to hit Lin Shiyi, bullying the smaller with the bigger—this is your fault."
"Moreover, Lin Shiyi is your own younger brother—how could you two bring yourselves to strike him?"
Lin Baobao hurriedly began to explain.
After Lin Baobao finished speaking, Song Jiaren took a deep breath and muttered: "This brat really deserves a beating!"
Lin Baobao nodded and said: "Who says otherwise! I was furious back then, but I only gave him a few symbolic taps, not using full strength."
Just as her words fell, Yang Caiwei walked over.
"Then, looking helpless, she said to Lin Baobao: Lin Baobao, your mom just called, saying you made a mistake and will be punished
Now I'll contact her via video; you will apologize in front of your mom, then receive twenty strikes with the paddle, the kind that swells your hand."
"Ah~"
Lin Baobao gasped.
She had thought that with her mom not around, she would escape this punishment.
Who would have thought, her mom actually did this!
"Oh my god!"
"Whoever invented instant messaging should be dragged out and given a beating."
While Lin Baobao was being struck with the paddle, Lin Chang'e was meanwhile being hoisted up and whipped by Meiwu.
Both her hands were tied and suspended from the beam.
A whip thicker than a thumb, made of python skin, cracked against Lin Chang'e's body with a crack-crack sound.
Lin Chang'e gritted her teeth and remained silent, but her eyes reddened with resentment.
This wasn't the first time she had been beaten like this.
But before the beating, her mother wouldn't listen to any of her explanations.
Of course she also understood that if she explained, she would reveal the matter of the giant panda.
Then it would be mistake upon mistake, and she would be punished even more severely.
"Where is Dad?"
Lin Chang'e wished her father would appear right then; by now she had already endured twenty lashes.
There were still eighty lashes to go.
"All right!"
In Lin Chang'e's hope, Lin Feng's voice rang out.
Although Lin Feng had heard of it, this was the first time he saw Lin Chang'e being hung up.
His heart softened, and he quickly let her down.
Meiwu looked at Lin Feng helplessly.
By indulging Lin Chang'e like this, Lin Feng made her mother out to be the villain.
At such a young age, already like this—what will happen when she grows up?
By then, surely no man would dare to take on such a troublemaking little devil.
"No way, there are still eighty lashes."
Meiwu insisted.
Lin Feng frowned and said: "Do you want to beat the child to death?"
"You know it won't kill her."
Twenty is enough.
Speaking, Lin Feng set Lin Chang'e down.
Lin Chang'e hurriedly said, "Mom, I was wrong!"
I shouldn't have hit Lin Shiyi; I know I wasn't punished, but at that moment I just couldn't hold back...
Before he finished speaking, the nose-bleeding, face-swollen Lin Shiyi appeared.
Seeing the situation in the room, Lin Shiyi first obediently called out 'Aunt Wu', then said, 'I forgive Lin Chang'e.'
Upon hearing that, Lin Chang'e immediately ran forward and embraced Lin Shiyi, saying, "Lin Shiyi, sorry, sister shouldn't have hit you! Shiyi, you're truly kind; from now on, finding you a wife will be my responsibility!"
Seeing the siblings like that, Younger Wu's expression also softened.
