Chapter 761: The Daughter-in-Law Gets Into Trouble

Wow~

After finding Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, Lin Jingru burst into a wailing "Wow" and began to cry loudly.

"Little Jingru, what's wrong?"

Liang Shiyun, seeing Lin Jingru's sorrowful look, wrapped her in a pitying embrace.

Lin Jingru sobbed, "Grandpa, Grandma, my mother is going to beat me, beat me to death."

Lin Xiangdong laughed, "Did you do something wrong?"

Lin Jingru nodded, "I did make a mistake, but only a tiny one, yet Mom's murderous aura looks so terrifying!"

Earlier, while Liang Shishi was looking for Lin Jingru, Lin Jingru hid aside and saw the angry expression on Liang Shishi's face.

She was terrified.

Mom isn't like she hasn't beaten her before.

Don't be fooled by her previously obedient demeanor; it was all forged by beatings.

Liang Shishi never holds back when she hits a child.

It was fine before; there was no Enhancement.

Now that she's an Enhancer, Mom can beat her boldly, as long as she doesn't smash the head to pieces, she won't die.

Even missing arms or broken legs can recover.

Then shouldn't Mom also beat herself to death?

In Lin Jingru's mind, she already imagined the miserable sight of herself being beaten by Liang Shishi.

"Then what mistake did you make?"

Liang Shiyun asked curiously.

Lin Jingru said, "It was when Mom and the elder and younger Guo aunties, and Mu Nian auntie were playing games…"

"That one…"

Liang Shiyun and Lin Xiangdong exchanged a glance.

The elderly couple, being veterans, actually understand Liang Shishi and her peers.

But Lin Jingru's actions are truly…

"Little Jingru, I think you should take the initiative to admit your fault! Grandpa and Grandma can't help you with this. When a child makes a mistake, they must be punished; if Grandpa and Grandma intervene, you'll later think of seeking their protection the moment you err. That way, as you grow up, you'll become a bad child."

Liang Shiyun gently lectured Lin Jingru.

Lin Jingru, after listening, nodded, "Grandma, I know I'm wrong! But Mom's too fierce; can you ask her to beat me more lightly?"

Lin Jingru listened, then nodded, "Grandma, I know I was wrong! But Mom is too fierce—can you let her hit me lightly?"

Liang Shiyun nodded.

Soon, Liang Shishi came knocking.

Actually, Liang Shishi had come earlier; seeing the old couple's house dark and silent, she left.

After searching for Lin Jingru around, she turned back.

This time, before entering, she heard Lin Jingru's sobbing from inside.

At last, she finally found her.

She knocked, and Liang Shiyun opened the door.

Lin Jingru, seeing Mom arrive, darted behind Grandma Liang Shiyun.

"Lin Jingru, come out!"

Liang Shishi said with a solemn face.

"I won't, you want to beat me." Lin Jingru shook her head.

Liang Shishi took a deep breath, "Mom won't beat you; she'll just reason with you, okay?"

"Adults don't keep their word; you're just coaxing a child!"

Lin Jingru shook her head.

Liang Shishi almost laughed in anger; once a child becomes clever, they're hard to fool.

At this moment, Lin Xiangdong spoke, "You can't educate a child by only beating; you must reason with them. Since you now say you won't hit her, don't lay a hand on her after you return."

At this moment Lin Xiangdong said, "Educating children cannot be just beating; you need to reason with them. Since you now said you won't hit her, when you go back don't lay a hand on her."

Liang Shishi nodded.

Liang Shiyun, now holding Lin Jingru's hand, said, "You can go back now; your mother said she won't beat you, so she won't. If she does, we'll beat her!"

With Liang Shiyun's words, Lin Jingru finally stepped out anxiously.

"Grandpa, Grandma, goodbye; I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Lin Jingru waved to Lin Xiangdong.

"Goodbye, grandparents, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Liang Shishi, holding Lin Jingru's hand, returned to her room on the island.

She didn't beat Lin Jingru, instead punished her with wall‑facing contemplation.

Lin Jingru's nose almost touched the wall; she kept glancing back at Liang Shishi, who sat on the sofa scrolling her phone.

The Chat Group was bustling.

Lin Jingru's nose was almost touching the wall, and she occasionally glanced back at Liang Shishi, who was sitting on the sofa scrolling through her phone.

So many were joking and laughing in the group.

Although they said they'd delete all the recordings, who knows if anyone kept them privately to mock her later?

So there are many people joking in the group.

Although they said they would delete all the Recordings, who knows if anyone privately kept them, saving them to mock her later.

I have now completely become a joke.

Not only me, Guo Yanru, Guo Yanqiu, Mu Nian, and Zheng Enhui were also being laughed at.

This child used to be well-behaved; why did they turn out like this?

Liang Shishi thought for a long time, finally feeling that it was after Lin Jingru's enhancement that she began to act arrogantly.

We must be as before, let her realize why the stick is so terrifying!

Although she said she wouldn't hit anyone, the extremely angry Liang Shishi still picked up…… the data cable used for charging the phone.

This thing, when it hits the body, is both painful and itchy, and only hurts the flesh.

Seeing Liang Shishi walk over with an angry face, Lin Jingru was frightened and cried out 'wa'.

"Mom, you said you wouldn't hit me."

Lin Jingru shouted.

Liang Shishi snorted coldly and said: "If I don't give you a beating, I can't vent the anger in my belly."

"I'm going to tell Dad you hit me!"

Lin Jingru said.

Liang Shishi sneered: "Go ahead and tell your dad about me! See if he'll help you."

Lin Jingru understood that if Dad were here, this beating could probably be avoided.

If I tattle afterward, Dad will just smooth things over.

As for Grandma and Grandpa's place, it's the same.

"You adults just don't keep your word, you hurt children too much." Lin Jingru said, lying on the coffee table.

Anyway, since we're going to get beaten, we might as well take the initiative.

Liang Shishi raised the data cable and gave Lin Jingru a fierce beating.

Afterwards, Lin Jingru's buttocks had already become grid-like.

"Give me the phone!"

After the beating, Liang Shishi finally calmed down and reached out her hand to Lin Jingru.

Lin Jingru took out her own phone and handed it to Liang Shishi.

Liang Shishi flipped through it, furrowed her brow, and asked: "Where is that audio file?"

Lin Jingru said: "I deleted it after sending it."

Liang Shishi asked: "Do you know you were wrong?"

"Wrong!"

Lin Jingru obediently nodded.

"Go to sleep!"

Liang Shishi returned the phone to Lin Jingru.

"Hmph!"

After taking the phone, Lin Jingru snorted coldly, held her head high, and went back to her small room.

"This child……"

Seeing Lin Jingru's unwilling expression, Liang Shishi felt another surge of anger rise in her chest.

But now there's no reason to beat Lin Jingru.

Returning to her small room, Lin Jingru opened her phone and sent a message to Lin Chang'e: "Second sister, send me that encrypted file I previously sent you."

What Liang Shishi didn't know was that the matter wasn't over yet!

This time Lin Jingru was truly angry at Liang Shishi.

Before, I said I wouldn't hit her.

But after returning home, I went back on my word.

Adults don't keep their word, so she wants to make the adults remember the lesson!

Kids are not to be messed with either!

The recording that Lin Jingru sent out was actually edited.

They cut out the parts where Mom and Dad spoke badly about other concubines.

Of course, those words were spoken under special circumstances and are not true.

Now, if the full version is sent out, there will definitely be another beating, and it will be even worse than before.

Also, can't send it from my own number.

Kids not only become more obedient the more they're beaten, but also smarter.

……

At the same moment.

Jasmine No. 3 appeared outside San Francisco, Mi Guo.

The new generation of the Jasmine, its stealth function is stronger.

This is exactly noon in Mi Guo, and also January 1st in Mi Guo time.

Chinatown looked very lively.

Because the Chinese living here are celebrating New Year's Day, it looks just like celebrating Spring Festival.

"Lin Shiyi, we won't be third wheels anymore; you go by yourself!"

In the cockpit, Lin Chang'e said.

Lin Shiyi, however, shook his head at this moment, saying: "I think I'll forget it; I won't appear in person. Because if I appear before Youwei, many things can't be explained."

"Then we'll just leave like this?"

Song Jiaren frowned and said.

Lin Shiyi scratched his head, "What else can we do?"

Song Jiaren rubbed Lin Shiyi's head, "Steel straight man, if you can give Ji Youwei a surprise now, she'll remember you forever."

"What surprise?"

Lin Shiyi asked curiously.

"Sigh~"

Lin Baobao sighed, "I think we should help you!"

He stretched out his hand, "Whoever has cash on them, or an NB bank card will do."

Lin Feng's New World Bank has a branch in San Francisco and cooperates with local banks, and is networked.

As soon as the words fell, three bank cards appeared in Lin Baobao's hand.

Bei Shuying took out one, "This is our saved New Year money, not much, just over a hundred million."

Bei Qingqian said, "Save it! Mom said she won't give us pocket money after the new year."

Lin Jingyue's bank card was pulled from the back of her phone case, "This is my pocket money, not as much as theirs, only over fifty million."

The third bank card was taken out by Lin Donghu, "This is my pocket money, Mom got me a card to save in, the password is 645321, I don't have much, only five million now."

"My mom is a miser, she actually has more, but she transferred it all away..."

Lin Baobao only took Bei Shuying's and Bei Qingqian's bank cards, "The money in these cards is enough."

With the money, the ten kids started discussing how to give Ji Youwei a surprise.

Of course, first Lin Shiyi should call Ji Youwei to see if she's home.

Otherwise, who would we give the surprise to?

Lin Shiyi picked up his phone, logged into the instant messaging app used in the US, and sent Ji Youwei a text message.

After several minutes, there was still no reply.

Lin Chang'e tapped Lin Shiyi on the head, "Can't you just call directly?"

Lin Shiyi scratched his head, "What should I say on the phone?"

Song Jiaren rolled her eyes, "Just call! We'll teach you what to say."

Lin Shiyi dialed Ji Youwei's phone.

But the phone rang, and no one answered for a long time.

Calling twice was the same.

Lin Shiyi shook his head, "Guess it's the holiday, he didn't bring his phone."

"Then let's try again later!"

Lin Chang'e said helplessly.

Song Jiaren frowned and said, "We stole Jasmine No. 3 and came out; surely we've been discovered. If we don't go to the Moon now, will we not be able to go?"

Lin Chang'e hehe laughed and said, "Don't worry, big sis! Jasmine No. 3 is in our hands; we can go wherever we want, even Dad can't stop us."

Lin Qingyue lowered her head slightly and said, "Not listening to adults is bad; Mom will be sad."

Lin Qiuxia also nodded.

Lin Donghu however laughed and said, "It's just a beating; adults won't kill us, otherwise why would they have us, right?"

"Lin Donghu, you make a lot of sense!"

Lin Chang'e first agreed.

Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian said, "Anyway, we already swore an oath; this time we'll share life and death! We must uphold righteousness—if one is punished, we all are; if someone lacks righteousness, we won't play with them."

"……"

At the same moment, in a hospital in San Francisco.

Ji Youwei lay pale on the hospital bed.

Grandfather Ji Shiren and mother Ji Xun stood guard by the bed.

Ji Youwei sipped the chicken broth that Mother Ji Xun had cooked, mouthful by mouthful.

After drinking half a bowl of chicken broth, Ji Youwei felt a bit better and said to her mother, "Mom, give me my phone; Lin Shiyi called me."

Ji Xun frowned and said, "You should rest now; I'll call Lin Shiyi to explain."

Ji Youwei shook her head, "If I don't call him back, he'll overthink things."

Ji Youwei knew Lin Shiyi was smart.

The reason Ji Youwei is in the hospital is that last night, while out shopping with her mother on the street, she encountered a gunfight.

A stray bullet hit her chest.

Fortunately it didn't hit her heart; surgery removed the bullet.

Such incidents often happen in the US, and many people have grown accustomed to them,

when encountering such things, one can only consider oneself unlucky.

Ji Xun, helpless, dialed Lin Shiyi's phone.

Then she placed the phone beside her daughter's cheek.

After a few seconds of ringing, Lin Shiyi answered.

"Um, Ji... Youwei, are you home? I just called you several times and you didn't answer."

Lin Shiyi said.

Ji Youwei said, "I was just helping Mom clean the house; I left my phone aside."

"Happy New Year!" Lin Shiyi said.

"Happy New Year!"

After Ji Youwei finished speaking, Lin Shiyi didn't know what to say.

Ji Youwei said: "Lin Shiyi, I really like the gift you gave me."

She was referring to the gift Lin Shiyi gave her when they last left Jasmine Island.

It was a golden pearl Lin Shiyi found in the sea, as big as a thumb.

Lin Shiyi drilled a hole in it and strung it on a red cord.

Ji Youwei had always worn it around her neck, but unfortunately, after she was injured yesterday, in the chaos, someone snatched it away.

"Well, as long as you like it!"

Lin Shiyi said.

Ji Youwei said: "Never mind! I still have work to do! Let's talk later."

After saying that, Ji Youwei hung up the phone.

In the cockpit of Jasmine No. 3, Lin Shiyi frowned as he looked at his phone in his hand.

The phone emitted a busy tone.

Besides Lin Shiyi, everyone else frowned.

"There's a problem!"

"There's something wrong with the sound!"

Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian said.

Guo Yanqiu's daughter Lin Qingxia said: "She sounds very weak; from her voice you can tell your wife lacks vital energy. Usually when a child shows this, it's mostly due to illness or excessive blood loss."

Lin Donghu snapped his ten fingers and said: "Whoever dares to bully Lin Shiyi's wife is our enemy!"

Lin Shiyi said: "Let's first figure out what's going on before we talk!"

Song Jiaren nodded and said: "Lin Qingyue, Lin Donghu, Lin Qiuxia, Bei Shuying Bei Qingqian, you five stay behind to watch Jasmine No. 3; I, along with Lin Chang'e, Lin Baobao, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Shiyi, will go into the city to see what's happening."

Lin Shiyi nodded and said: "Youwei doesn't want to say; she surely doesn't want us to know her current situation; things might be terrible."

"But Dad should know about it, yet contacting him now would be awkward, so we have to investigate ourselves."
