Chapter 242 - [Bonus ]he Is Not A Bad Child

" What will happen then?" Mother Lin didn"t know that she has unleashed a feral she-wolf on the old Lin family, she simply answered Su Wan"s question without much thought " old lady Lin refused to pay for Ah Yu"s treatment and we didn"t have much money either. If not for Doctor Gu"s kindness we wouldn"t have been able to give Ah Yu the basic treatment either. Unfortunately, Doctor Gu doesn"t know how to treat things like broken tendons, he only knows how to mend bones. Tendons can only be healed by acupuncture and we didn"t have that kind of money, even the basic acupuncture cost ten taels from where were we supposed to get those ten taels ?"

" After this incident, Ah Yu changed completely, maybe he realised the cruelty of the world, and to think he experienced it all because of his own family. After he hurt his leg, old Lady Lin started bad-mouthing him worse than ever and kept calling him a " jinx", people are afraid of the evil and after such an accident happened to Ah Yu, they started believing Old Lady Lin and slowly and gradually, Ah Yu"s friends left him. My poor Yu "er, he was only ten but he suffered so much - I can"t blame him for becoming anti-social and introverted but the thing that tested his patience and pushed him to his edge was when Ah Chen was beaten up by that official"s servant - the one that tried to buy Ah Yu. You already know that Ah Chen can be reckless sometimes and back then he was only twelve and didn"t know better. I don"t know the exact matter but somehow Ah Chen offended the official and was almost beaten to death ."

" Once Ah Chen got hurt, more rumours circulated. Everyone believed that Ah Chen got hurt because he tried to fight for Ah Yu, who was born as a jinx and was punished by the heavens. Ah Yu couldn"t take it and ran away from home, no one knew where he went and it was only a month later that Ah Jing was able to find him. But when Ah Yu returned he was completely different, he changed- he was no longer gloomy nor did he hide in the house anymore. Though he remained introverted he didn"t shrink away from making friends everything seemed to have returned to normal but then odd things started to happen "

" Odd things? What do you mean by odd things mother ?" Su Wan asked with a frown

Mother Lin grimaced slightly " well, don"t get afraid of him alright and please don"t hate him, he might be a little rough but he is a really good boy -"

" Mother, what happened?" Interrupting Mother Lin"s rambling Su Wan spoke up.

" well, I don"t know how he did it but somehow every child or adult that condemned him for being a jinx or made fun of Ah Yu, they somehow met with an accident, of course, nothing serious happened " added Mother Lin swiftly in case Su Wan misunderstood Lin Yu " no one died, they were hurt, some only got a few scratches while some were seriously hurt. Families of those people came to ask for compensation at our house, they didn"t have any evidence nor did they catch ah Yu doing anything but they just kept on harping - and then Ah Yu came and said " isn"t it good that I"m finally living up to my reputation? You better scram away from my family or who knows if you upset me, my ill fate might curse your family and someone might end up dying ", that was the only time I saw him furious and completely different to his normal personality.? "

Su Wan licked her lips before speaking " so mother, do you think that Ah Yu really had a hand in those accidents back then ?"

Mother Lin smiled ruefully? " Wan Wan, I already told you that I"m not the right person to answer these questions if you want to know the truth then you should ask Ah Yu. I"m his mother and I will always be biased towards him, even if he is wrong. "

Su Wan didn"t say anything anymore, she understood Mother Lin"s predicament. Mother Lin was right, she was Lin Yu"s mother and would always be inclined towards her son no matter what, if she really wanted to know the exact truth then she have to find it out herself. But the thing was that stinky brat was ignoring her!

Lin Ze looked down at the watery vegetable soup in front of him and pursed his lips in disgust. The soup was completely devoid of any spice, there were only a few drops of oil that was added in it with a pinch of salt that he could hardly taste, Lin Ze looked down at his broken legs that were wrapped in a cast and then at the unflavoured soup and immediately blew up " Zhi "er can"t you add some spice in the soup? what"s with this watery taste? There is no salt or anything! You didn"t even add a decent amount of oil in it !"

Lin Zhi sipped on her soup and casually shrugged " brother you sure know how to complain, I was the one who dug these vegetables and when I returned home - your lazy wife forced me to cook breakfast while she sat on the dining table waiting for her meal like a queen. Be glad that you are at least have something to eat thanks to me - if you were to depend on your wife and daughter you might end up starving to death !"

" Hey! Who are you cursing !" madam Zhang was already in a foul mood because she haven"t eaten anything decent from the past few days thus when she heard Lin Zhi scold her husband with " death ", she couldn"t help but blow up in rage. Whatever, she will just use this stupid sister in law of her and let out a bit of her steam " sister in law sure knows how to talk! You can"t even cook a decent soup and yet you dare to shriek from your responsibilities and hand over excuses "

" Fine, then you cook then, " said Lin Zhi with a cold smile " I will see what kind of delicacy you can cook with no spice and oil at home. You want to eat imperial feast but don"t want to earn, where is such a good thing in this world ?"

With that Lin Zhi gobbled her leftover soup and walked out of the house, she still need to hide some of the extra wheat that she sowed earlier on at the foot of the mountain or else it might be too late for her. Humph, did this family think that she was as stupidly filial as Lin Heng and Zhao Lan? If she wasn"t short on money for buying a field of her own then she would have never stepped out of the house to the farm.

However, once she stepped out of the house - she caught sight of four men carrying a fat pig on their shoulders. A pig? Why were they carrying a pig on their shoulders? And why was this pig so big??r?e????o???. ?oｍ

Lin Zhi was puzzled but when the men got closer, she could clearly see what and who they were carrying. She smiled mockingly as a cold glint flashed in her eyes, oh - so karma finally came knocking?

Lin Zhi wanted to stay behind and watch the drama but then she thought about how her selfish mother liked to implicate her, if she stayed behind then her mother would most likely drag her in the mess - as for the drama? Hehe, the village was just this big - it wouldn"t take long for her to hear the gossip.

She turned around and walked away without even the slightest bit of pity in her eyes as the four men brought the frozen and barely breathing crooked body of her dear nephew.
