100: Chapter 99: I Know 100: Chapter 99: I Know “Yu Hongmei!

Thank you!

Move aside!” Lin Xia knew Yu Hongmei meant well, but she had to get to Lin Dong’s school now.

Regardless of whether Lin Aiguo had just been scared off by her or not, she needed to rush to Lin Dong’s school immediately.

Yu Hongmei let go under Lin Xia’s cold gaze, realizing she truly didn’t recognize the Lin Xia before her.

In just a short period of time, not only had Lin Xia’s appearance changed, but her aura had undergone a huge transformation too; the always gloomy Lin Xia, who knew only of toil, seemed to exist only in memory now.

Lin Xia hurried to Lin Dong’s school, just in time for the start of class.

At the entrance, she didn’t see Lin Aiguo’s car, which slightly set her mind at ease, but she quickened her pace to Lin Dong’s classroom.

Only when she saw Lin Dong seated in the third row, intently watching the teacher, did Lin Xia finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was then that she felt her legs go weak and she slid down to sit on the ground.

It seemed Lin Aiguo hadn’t come!

Was it because he was slower, or had she scared him off with her outburst?

It was unknown for the moment.

But Lin Xia knew, even if he didn’t show up now, there would come a day when he would.

Therefore, she must transfer her brother to another school as quickly as possible.

It might affect Lin Dong’s studies and life;

But surely that was better than Lin Aiguo making a scene at the school, or worse, beating Lin Dong in front of many classmates…

Why hadn’t Lin Aiguo gone to Lin Dong’s school?

Not that he didn’t want to, but because he had collided with a man on a bike midway there; they were both in a hurry and hot-tempered, so an argument broke out and almost turned physical.

By the time Lin Aiguo arrived at Lin Qiang’s school on his barely functional bike, the seriously listening student body no longer included Lin Dong.

He swore and cursed, realizing without a doubt that Lin Xia had gotten there before him and taken Lin Dong!

He clenched his teeth in hatred, thinking how that child had actually tried to stab him before; how did he manage to raise such a beastly, tyrannical creature!

However, as long as Lin Dong was still attending school here, he could run but not hide; there would always be a chance to catch him!

Lin Dong might be a young boy, but he was no match for him; when the time came, he would show him who was in charge, to kill a chicken as a warning to the monkeys!

He needed to teach these people a lesson; else they wouldn’t take him seriously!

Lin Aiguo spat viciously on the ground before turning and walking away from the school.

Lin Dong rode his bike home with Lin Xia on the back.

He listened to his older sister recount the events on their way home, feeling both anger and resentment;

Why did he have such a father that not only wasn’t any good to them, but treated them like enemies?

Was he truly their biological father?

But what worried him more was Lin Xia’s safety, “Sister!

Next time don’t just use a knife so rashly!

After all, you’re a woman, what if he takes it from you?

Then you’ll be in trouble…

He hated that he was not yet a man, otherwise he would never allow his sister to confront Lin Aiguo alone!

Lin Xia acknowledged with a hum, “I know!

It won’t happen again!”

She hadn’t thought through at the time, focused only on not letting Lin Aiguo beat her again.

She didn’t want to relive those memories of being hit.

“Dongzi, you study at home these next few days.

Once I’ve found you a school in the city, I’ll transfer you there.

If it’s inconvenient to commute, you can board there…”

Even if Lin Dong wanted to stay, he knew transferring schools was the best solution for now.

If not, his continued attendance here would inevitably lead Lin Aiguo to come and create a scene, which wouldn’t just humiliate him and hurt his self-esteem, but also cause his brothers and sister to worry.

“Great!

Big sis!

I think I’ll stay at the dorm then, it’s perfect for avoiding the commute, and I can have more time to study!”

Dongzi paused and then reassured Lin Xia, “Big sis!

Don’t worry too much!

Take your time to find a school!

Besides, in two months, winter break will start!

I can study on my own at home too!

Actually, a lot of what I’m studying now is review!”

Lin Xia patted his back from behind, “I know!

Our Dongzi is smart and loves learning, you hardly ever have trouble with your studies!”

“Big sis!

You’re praising me so much I might just float away!”

The siblings chatted as they arrived home.

Dongzi wouldn’t let Lin Xia do anything, “Big sis!

Go lie down on the kang and rest!

I’ll start the fire and cook!”

Lin Xia was indeed feeling exhausted, the short morning had drained too much of her physical and mental energy.

“Alright!

You go start the fire then!

We can see if either your second sister or your big brother comes back to cook later…”

Lin Xia finished speaking and went back to the Eastern House to lie down.

Lin Chun and Xiaoqiu returned home one after another.

They sat together, listening to Lin Xia repeat what Lin Aiguo said and did.

Lin Chun got truly irritated this time, taking out the comparisons between Lin Aiguo and Yu Wanhua.

He still favored his mother more.

He had seen and memorized how much his mother had done for the family over the years.

“Xiaoxia!

If that’s the case, you might as well stop attending your class.

See if you can find some other work to do!”

He knew that if his big sister continued to work at the factory, their dad would inevitably make a scene again.

However, regarding Lin Xia stabbing Lin Aiguo with a knife, Lin Chun criticized her, “Xiaoxia!

No matter what, you can’t do that!

You can speak your mind, but you can’t hurt people!

You have to think more.

What if you really hurt him, how would you handle the aftermath?

If this gets out, how will you ever get married?”

He thought deeply about it.

With such matters, they are bound to be misconstrued, and anyone who hears it will side with the elderly, with the one who didn’t wield a knife.

Lin Xia listened and nodded, “I know!

Dongzi already scolded me, I won’t be so foolish next time!”

She said this outwardly, but inwardly she thought, if the same situation arose, she would still act the same way.

She’d rather be labeled as someone who turns her back on her kin and bears the stigma than be a pushover who’s kind to others but bullied in return.

“As long as you’re aware!

But what about Dongzi’s school?”

“About Dongzi’s school, let’s run around these couple of days, try to pull some strings, see if we can find a connection or something.

No matter what, we can’t let him go without a school…”

After discussing this, everyone asked Lin Chun about his registration process.

Then Lin Xia turned to Xiaoqiu who had been somewhat silent since she came back.

“Xiaoqiu!

How was your first day at work?”

“Yeah!

We were so preoccupied with other things that we forgot to ask you!” Lin Chun asked as well.

Xiaoqiu smiled and told them, “It went well!

Old Lady Zhao assigned me to the cutting department, let me work on odds and ends with a master, and I could even have the chance to learn the craft…”

“Isn’t that great?

Then why do you seem a bit unhappy?” Lin Xia was very attentive to Xiaoqiu’s emotions.

Her younger sister was a sensitive child with a lot on her mind.

Xiaoqiu didn’t hide it, “Everything was fine on my first half-day at work, but when I went to the bathroom, I ran into Xu Haihua; she said some weird things in a taunting tone…”

“What did she say?” Lin Xia was absolutely fed up with this Xu Haihua; she considered her a lunatic.
