Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Chop Them Up

“Jiadong, what do you mean by that? You’re just complaining that I’m getting in your way at my parents’ house. Well, let me tell you, I’m staying here no matter what you think. This is my home too, so stop being so sarcastic here.”

“Do you really think you’re tough now? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to with Chuxia. Just wait till tomorrow when Chuxia comes back. I want to ask her what kind of spell she cast on you to make you resent me all the time.”

Jiadong didn’t come inside, he shouted through the window, “Why are you dragging our sister into this? Is it me who can’t stand you? It’s you who can’t stand me! You get upset at your in-laws and run back home to act crazy, and you don’t let anyone complain about it?”

“Why am I upset at my in-laws? Isn’t it because of you all being useless? Other families stand up for their daughters, but you just tell me to endure. If you were really my brother, you’d go to the Li Family and teach Li Guangyuan a lesson right now. Get back at him for hitting your sister. If you don’t, then you’re not my real brother.”

Jiadong seemed provoked too, “Fine, you wait here, I’ll go to the Li Family and get revenge for you right now.”

As he said that, he headed into the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife in hand.

Mother Lin’s face changed instantly upon seeing this, and she quickly rushed to stop him, “Jiadong, what are you doing? Put the knife down!”

“Mom, don’t stop me. How dare those Li Family bastards bully my sister? I’m going to slice them today. Again and again, they’ve gone too far, thinking our Lin Family is helpless.”

“This is against the law,” Mother Lin desperately held onto Jiadong’s arm, “Do you know you’ll end up in jail for killing? You’re my only son! What would I do if you went to jail? You’re doing so well in school. The teacher said you could definitely get into college. If you go to jail, you’ll lose everything. Listen to mom, put the knife down…”

“I won’t study anymore, even if I go to jail, I don’t care. I can’t let my eldest sister suffer. Mom, haven’t you always taught me? To be close to my eldest sister, she’s married nearby, we should support each other. I can’t count on my other sister who’s far away. My eldest sister married so close, yet she suffers and I can’t stand up for her? What kind of a brother am I? If I kill Li Guangyuan, the Li Family will belong to my nephew, and my eldest sister won’t be bullied by them. I don’t mind going to jail. You love my eldest sister so much, she’ll definitely be good to you in the future…”

“What nonsense are you talking?” Mother Lin panicked, turned to the house and shouted, “You troublemaker, are you trying to ruin your brother? Get out here quickly and talk some sense into your brother. I’m telling you, if your brother gets into trouble, I’ll hold you responsible too.”

Jiayi didn’t expect Jiadong to be so impulsive today. She was just saying some random things, but seeing Jiadong’s flushed face and bulging neck, he really seemed like he was going to confront Li Guangyuan.

She felt a bit guilty too.

She wasn’t satisfied with Li Guangyuan lending money to Li Dongmei, but she hadn’t been completely honest with her family.

This winter, there were off-season vegetables from the Qin Family Village’s greenhouse. Li Guangyuan made over 100 yuan selling vegetables, and the 50 yuan given to Li Dongmei was not all they had.

But she was unhappy with Li Guangyuan’s behavior, and she had even initiated violence first.

Li Guangyuan, knowing he was wrong and given her previous threats of divorce, didn’t retaliate when she hit him, making her seem to have the upper hand.

She accidentally hit Li Guangyuan on the head, and feeling guilty, fled back home.

Just earlier, she said those words to provoke her brother, already feeling uneasy about her closeness with Chuxia.

She didn’t expect her foolish brother to actually seek revenge on Li Guangyuan.

Jiayi knew if anything happened, her mother would never forgive her. Her brother was far more important, so she quickly came out of the house.

With a lot of persuasion, Mother Lin and Jiayi finally calmed Jiadong down.

Mother Lin dared not let Jiayi stay at home any longer; what if one day she wasn’t around, and Jiayi incited her son to kill someone—there’d be no turning back.

“Jiayi, listen to mom, go back and live well with Guangyuan. Now that both your sisters-in-law are gone, only Old Mrs. Li is left. What are you worrying about? That old lady won’t live much longer. Mom thinks your judgment was pretty good initially; Guangyuan knows how to live a good life. These past two years have been messed up by your two sisters-in-law…”

“Mom, you used to say my judgment was poor. I thought I had made a mistake too…”

“No, not at all,” Mother Lin interrupted Jiayi before she could finish, “I think Guangyuan is a good person. He listens to his mother, which shows he’s filial. He’s good to his two sisters, which means he’ll be good to you too. He knows how to work hard for money. I’ve calculated, if you didn’t have those two sisters-in-law draining you, your lives would have improved already through Guangyuan’s vegetable selling. Anyway, your eldest sister-in-law won’t be found anymore. It’s just your youngest sister-in-law who’s married off, what are you afraid of? Just be cautious, this time you were careless.”

Jiayi let out a bitter smile.

Her mom didn’t understand what she meant at all.

She saw wrong, thinking that Li Guangyuan’s accomplishments in her past life were earned entirely through his efforts.

But in reality?

They’ve been married for so many years now. According to the past trajectory, Li Guangyuan should have achieved something by now; at least he shouldn’t still just be a vegetable seller.

However, even without Li Guangyuan, Lin Chuxia still achieved a great deal on her own.

He didn’t want to admit it but had to acknowledge that everything Li Guangyuan achieved in their previous life depended entirely on Lin Chuxia.

Without Lin Chuxia, Li Guangyuan was just Li Guangyuan.

But with Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang was no longer the Qin Yang of their past life.

Under Mother Lin’s persuasion, Jiayi finally left with her child.

After the eldest daughter left, Mother Lin still worried about her son and went to his room to knock on the door.

“Jiadong, you have to stop being so impulsive in the future. If you don’t think for yourself, at least think of your parents. It’s not easy raising you. Your sister, after marrying, is ultimately an outsider. Mom only has one son; if anything happens to you, how would mom and dad live?”

She was truly frightened earlier.

She had indeed encouraged her son to be close to his eldest sister, and said he, as the family’s boy, should support her.

But those were just for show, to make the daughter remember the family’s goodness and not forget them after marrying.

She never thought it would actually cost her son.

This time, Jiadong still hadn’t calmed down, concernedly asking his mom, “Eldest sister just went back like that; what if brother-in-law and his mother trouble her again? No, I have to go over and look.”

After saying this, he started to get up.

Mother Lin hugged his waist tightly, unwilling to let go.
