Chapter 776: Lin Jingru, Who Holds a Grudge

Who came up with this idea? Yang Caiwei certainly wouldn't tell them; it was a joke Lin Feng made when Guo Yanru called Lin Feng.

Saying these little rascals are just fried dough sticks, a single, uncreative punishment method is useless for them.

Better to decide by drawing lots.

Guo Yanru took it seriously.

So the children's mothers held a video conference to discuss it.

After a show of hands, the punishment method was passed unanimously.

Yang Caiwei is now the household manager, so naturally she takes the lead.

The matter was thus happily decided.

The mothers were waiting for these disobedient rascals to receive a serious lesson, after which they wouldn't dare misbehave again.

In Lin Chang'e's view, what they were doing was helping their father.

But in the adults' eyes, each one is a trouble-maker; if left unchecked when young, they'll surely become spoiled rich brats when they grow up,

By then it'll be too late to educate them!

The mothers certainly don't want Lin Feng to uphold justice at the cost of kin.

"Listen up, I won't play favorites; to punish you, I've brought ten emotionless robots to supervise you this time."

Having said that, she waved her hand.

Ten expressionless, stern, murderous-aura-filled Enhancers walked out.

Exactly eight women and two men.

Lin Shiyi and Lin Donghu, of course, were supervised by the two male Enhancers.

They even considered gender; it looks like this time they're serious.

"Now, hand over your communication devices; don't think about calling your father for mercy—even if you do, he won't answer."

Yang Caiwei reached out her hand.

Song Jiaren took the lead, handing over her phone first.

Then came Lin Chang'e, Lin Shiyi, Lin Baobao…

Yang Caiwei waved her hand, and the ten 'robots' turned and left.

Lin Shiyi stepped forward and said, "Caiwei Yiniang, can we just change the punishment method? Can we choose it ourselves?"

"Of course not!"

Yang Caiwei shook her head.

Lin Shiyi's eyes shifted, "Then we can at least see what's written on the lots we draw, and examine the drawing tools and process."

"That's fine!"

Yang Caiwei nodded.

Then she winked at Lin Shiyi.

Lin Shiyi instantly understood.

There are nine slips of paper, each written by the mothers with a punishment method; whichever slip you draw, you accept the punishment written on it.

After looking at them, Lin Shiyi nodded.

Then he gathered everyone together to discuss quietly.

"I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of pain; I'll take the lashes for Lin Chang'e!" Lin Donghu said.

Lin Shiyi nodded, "Remember, this slip was written by Wu Yiniang; when I gave it to Caiwei Yiniang, I rolled the slip into the biggest ball."

"I'll do embroidery!"

Song Jiaren said.

Lin Shiyi said, "This slip was written by Chen Yiniang; Chen Yiniang's hands are the most delicate, and the slips she folds are the neatest; I just folded it back exactly along the crease, unchanged."

Bei Shuying said, "Then let us handle the soul‑summoning night! Me and Qingqian two people will play in the dark room, unafraid! And we can play, just not as well as the elder sister."

Lin Shiyi said, "This slip was written by Han Yiniang; it carries a scent that you'll recognize at once."

"If it's counting rice, I'll do it!"

Lin Baobao said, "I'm the most patient."

Lin Shiyi said, "This slip was written by Wu Yiniang; Wu Yiniang habitually pinches the paper when writing slips, so the folded slip has creases at the corners—look closely and you'll see."

Lin Qiuxia said, "I'll look at the account book! Actually I like this the most; it doesn't feel like a chore, but rather interesting."

Lin Qingyue said, "I'll take the butt‑spanking! I've never been hit before!"

Lin Qingxia said, "I'd rather recite the medical texts! The punishments for Lin Shiyi and me are things they can't do. Since we're drawing lots, getting what we're good at is just a coincidence, right?"

Lin Shiyi nodded.

Then Lin Shiyi said, "The slip written by Xiao Guo Yiniang has a medicinal smell; when Da Guo Yiniang writes, she likes to use a steel pen, so the ink is heavy and visible even when the paper is folded."

After much discussion, the drawing of lots began.

Sure enough, following Lin Shiyi's earlier reminder, everyone drew the punishment they liked.

Yang Caiwei watched as each was brought into the room to accept supervision, and she couldn't help laughing.

These little rascals are really clever!

Especially Lin Shiyi—he truly takes after the senior brother and the boss.

The senior brother and the boss are top‑tier smart, and Lin Shiyi has fully inherited both of their clever minds.

……

In the room, Lin Donghu was hung up.

During the punishment, it was livestreamed.

Naturally, the viewers were the children's mothers.

Liang Shishi was fortunate to be able to watch the livestream, because she also joined the "Mom Group".

"Lin Jingru, do you see this? Look at them now, they're so pitiful—this Lin Donghu will definitely be crying in a moment… Lin Jingru, you're lucky; otherwise, at this moment you might have been strung up and beaten!"

Liang Shishi looked smug.

Lin Jingru was inadvertently pulled back by her, and not only did she not get into trouble, she also achieved great merit.

When making the phone call, Boss Lin praised Lin Jingru for a long time, saying that when she returns, he will reward her!

This "her" is not Lin Jingru, but her as a mother.

As for how to reward?

Liang Shishi had it all figured out—she would prepare seafood for Boss Lin to let him see her cooking skills.

Lin Jingru frowned and muttered, "Mom, you're making me not fit in. They're now like cellmates—iron-barred window, iron-barred window, their bond is as strong as old iron."

"I was originally in the first team, but from now on I'll be in the third team!"

The first team that Lin Jingru spoke of consists of Lin Chang'e, Lin Shiyi, Lin Baobao, Lin Qingxia, and her five-person squad.

The second team is Lin Qingyue, Lin Donghu, Song Jiaren, Lin Qiuxia, Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian—six people who were later enhanced.

After returning, they will be marginalized.

Liang Shishi said lightly: "Don't worry, you'll have plenty of chances to play with them later, and your relationship will improve right away."

Moreover, this time you stayed because of them, and to them you also rendered great service."

As they spoke, Lin Donghu in the room was the first to be punished.

A whip soaked in seawater lashed Lin Donghu's body repeatedly.

It's worth noting that, during this period after enhancement, Lin Donghu grew much taller and also became much sturdier.

He now looks even bigger than Lin Shiyi.

After a few strikes, Lin Donghu still laughed and said, "It's fine, use a bit more force—I can still take it!"

Seeing this, the mothers posted comments on the video livestream.

This Lin Donghu is too thick-skinned!

They asked Chen Yingqiu how she usually trains Lin Donghu.

Chen Yingqiu replied: "Embroidery!"

Uh!

The punishments for the other children were nothing to see.

Watching Lin Shiyi seriously playing with small insects, Lin Qingxia reading medical texts, Lin Baobao counting rice…

Suddenly, the mothers felt this punishment was a failure!

After thinking, they suddenly realized they had fallen into Boss Lin's scheme!

At the same moment.

Lin Feng sat in the cockpit of the Molly No. 4, smiling as he watched the livestream.

Qi Yao said lightly: "Doing this will spoil them."

Lin Feng shook his head: "No way! They're not bad by nature; they'll listen to reason. When they grow up and each becomes that capable, I can retire!"

Only Qi Yao now understands Lin Feng's calculations.

These little rascals, the punishments they usually receive are what they fear most.

This is a disciplinary method the mothers worked out while teaching their children.

For their own children, it might be a harsh punishment, but with another child it might not be!

Take Lin Donghu, for example—he's a clear case.

Making him do embroidery is worse than killing him.

But getting whipped feels quite pleasant.

In terms of scheming, even the mothers of ten children are no match for Boss Lin.

The children's mothers are still smart; they quickly caught on.

They've been tricked!

But it's too late to regret now.

Changing the punishment method means words don't count.

Doing this has a greater impact on the children.

Each of them silently schemed in their hearts, waiting for Boss Lin to return so they could decide how to punish him.

Should they have the former serfs sing a song, or treat Boss Lin to a seafood feast?

No, that would just be letting him off easy.

"Mom, can I go play on Molly Island?"

Lin Jingru asked Liang Shishi.

Liang Shishi thought for a moment and nodded.

Also good, let Lin Jingru go to the island to witness the punishments that Lin Chang'e, Lin Shiyi, and Lin Donghu receive.

This would be a good warning for Lin Jingru.

Besides, we can't keep Lin Jingru by our side all the time, preventing her from playing with her siblings.

After a long time, using Lin Jingru's words, it's just not fitting in.

This would affect Lin Jingru's mental health.

"Remember, before making a mistake, think it over—don't just follow the crowd blindly!"

Seeing Lin Jingru's happy expression, Liang Shishi gave her a reminder.

"Got it, Mom!"

Lin Jingru nodded her head very obediently.

In the afternoon, Lin Jingru took a plane and flew directly to Jasmine Island.

After the plane landed, it was already 8 p. m.

After a day, Lin Shi and the others were exhausted and fed up.

Such a punishment isn't finished in a day; there's more tomorrow…

The dispatched 'robots' show no mercy at all.

Sure enough, they are robots, only obeying Cai Wei Yiniang's orders; no matter how miserably they scream, no one pays them any heed.

The most obvious case is Lin Donghu.

The skin on his body is almost whipped off in a layer, and that 'executioner' actually still strikes hard.

What if we beat Lin Donghu to death?

Lin Donghu certainly won't be beaten to death.

Afterward, he still hehe‑laughed, saying this punishment is really fun.

Lin Jingru took out the specially made golden wound medicine and applied it to Lin Donghu's back, saying, "You can still laugh?"

Lin Donghu said: "This is much easier than embroidery."

Moments later, Lin Donghu fell asleep.

Lin Jingru looked at each one in turn.

Finally she found Lin Shi looking exhausted.

"Lin Shi, there's something I need you to help me with."

Lin Jingru said.

"What is it?"

Lin Shi looked at Lin Jingru's somewhat solemn expression and asked anxiously.

Lin Jingru said: "I want to learn how to pilot the Jasmine craft; please teach me!"

Lin Shi said: "Jasmine No. 3 and No. 4 are both unavailable right now; Daddy's still using Jasmine No. 4, and No. 3 has been taken by Uncle Huang Ziping for modifications."

"I mean Jasmine No. 1."

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Shi stared at Lin Jingru, eyes wide.

Lin Jingru said: "You don't know about my business yet! After I went home with Mom, I sneaked out to play and ran into a cat……

Lin Jingru recounted her experience in detail to Lin Shi.

When mentioning that middle‑aged Japanese man, Lin Shi's eyes widened and he clenched his fists.

But in the end Lin Shi still calmed down, saying, "Lin Jingru, we can't do this—it's too big; it'll cause a huge disaster!"

Lin Jingru said she would use Jasmine No. 1 to throw mushroom bombs at the Japanese.

That's huge!

"You only need to teach me how to pilot Jasmine No. 1; as for anything else, pretend you don't know! Afterwards, it's all my responsibility."

Lin Jingru frowned and said.

Lin Shi also frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Lin Jingru, doing that is not good. Randomly throwing mushroom bombs is an irresponsible act toward all humanity."

Because Earth is shared, it would cause serious pollution……

Lin Shi gave a round of persuasion.

"I can't swallow this anger!"

Lin Jingru stamped her foot.

Lin Shi muttered: "Mushroom bombs are out—at least for now—but what about other things……

"Huh~"

Lin Jingru suddenly realized that Lin Shi wasn't stopping her; rather, her method and target were wrong.

Lin Shi opened a map on his tablet and said: "This is the meeting place of the Japanese right‑wing faction, called the Kyōei Society; they gather here on the fifteenth of each month.

Then we'll drop a big one here—boom—and the world will be much cleaner.

The main point is, this won't change the world order, you'll vent your anger, so why not?

"Alright, I'll follow your lead!"

Lin Jingru nodded.

Lin Shi said: "Actually piloting Jasmine No. 1 is very simple—just get the password…… I'll right away sneak a download of a simulator from Uncle Yang Yi; you'll learn to fly the Jasmine craft as if playing a game."

"Thank you, Lin Shi; you've helped me a great deal."

"What are you saying? I don't understand; how have I helped you?"

"Uh!"

Lin Jingru quickly reacted: "No, no! Lin Shi, we didn't say anything just now."

Lin Shi then laughed: "Just joking! If something happens, we'll openly take responsibility for what's mine.

I made a mistake, so I should accept punishment."

……

Time passed slowly.

Soon, January 15 arrived.

This was destined to be an extraordinary day.

Mi Guo suddenly announced that this lunar landing mission had failed.

The cause was a problem with the electronic equipment.

This resulted in over twenty astronauts being stranded on the Moon, over half of whom have already lost signs of life.

The rest are still waiting for rescue.

Second, the base the Witch Tribe built on the Moon has been destroyed.

After Jasmine No. 3 made a trip to the Moon, it brought back the octopus-shaped Shēngwù diànnǎo and sent it directly to the Desert Base.

Third, this is a world-shocking major event that had not yet occurred when Lin Feng returned to Jasmine Island.
