Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 39.3

Although her strength was great, for Lin Shiheng, it was like an ant trying to pick up a big tree, only, he didnt show it. Obediently, he let Old Lady Lin pull him forward, yet still turned his head to the gossiping old lady and said, Granny Fang, Im going now. See you later.

See you later.

Granny Fang stood in place while leaning on her walking stick, watching the two leave with a strange feeling in her heart.

How can these two who had a falling out for nearly 20 years reconcile so suddenly?

Facts have proved that it was indeed impossible for people who have fallen out for nearly 20 years to suddenly make peace.

***

Old Lady Lin thought about Lin Shihengs money, and after taking the person home, she really entertained him thoroughly. Lin Shiheng was also very cooperative, not only taking advantage of the chance to eat, but also praised that the chickens were well raised, and ask whether he could take two of them home.

What else can Old Lady Lin say?

She still hoping for Lin Shiheng to give her the money.

Therefore, with a kind smile on her face, but deep distress in her heart, Lin Shiheng walked out of the yard with two chickens as she turned to see him off with a keen smile. By the way, mentioning the money to Old Lady Lin, This money is for my business, and its impossible to give it to you because of filial piety.

Old Lady Lin directly froze.

She never thought that, after all those good things said, chicken eaten, and even letting two go; it would end up like this.

You tricked me!

You this I

Old Lady Lin opened her mouth to scold, but before her emotions even finished brewing, Lin Shiheng at the entrance of the courtyard slowly moved the chicken from his left hand to his right hand and pulled out a knife from his side pocket.

Old Lady Lins high-pitched curse was immediately cut off in the middle, and there was no sound for a moment.

Grandma. The young man in front of her was still smiling, just like the gentleness from earlier when he was eating chicken and drinking chicken soup. I have only killed animals with this knife. If we add your blood too, it will be considered filthy.

Its best for you to be obedient, stay at home, and dont come out. Otherwise, in a bit, we cant be sure where the knife would end up. Do you understand?

Also, dont come to my house again. If you really want to, however, remember to bring a chicken. Otherwise, this chicken killing knife may end up on your neck.

Old Lady Lin was afraid of death.

She has always been afraid of death, otherwise, she would not have been so eager to throw her daughter-in-law and little grandson out to save food during their most difficult time.

She had felt that she had more than enough children and grandchildren, and she would not mind having one less. As for a granddaughter-in-law, her son was already dead, what would she need a granddaughter-in-law for?

Now, her grandson, who was thrown out like garbage by her, pointed a knife at her.

Right now, it was broad daylight, the young and middle-aged are working in the fields. Even children were out cutting grass somewhere and digging earthworms to feed their livestock. Therefore, there were only some old ladies wandering around in the village. Right now, at the old Lin familys front gate, there really are no other people except for her and Lin Shiheng.

If Lin Shiheng really stabbed her with a knife

Mrs. Lin just stood blankly still and watched Lin Shiheng leave with her two chickens. After a long time, she finally regained her senses, fell, and sat down on the ground with a bang.

She she didnt didnt get the money, yet lost three chickens!?

Such a sin!

Old Lady Lin felt distressed for her three chickens and cried her eyes out, but she still didnt dare go to Lin Shiheng to make trouble. When she was pointed at with a knife, the cold-blooded gaze of her grandson made her feel cold all over.

She had a hunch.

If she continues to entangle him, Lin Shiheng may actually cut her down.

***

Old Lady Lin was so frightened that her legs grew weak, and so rested in the yard for a while. Before the people in the field even came back, Widow Zhang couldnt wait and went out the door to find out whether Old Lady Lin had succeeded.

As a result, before she arrived at Old Lins house, she ran into Lin Shiheng with the two chickens.

She plucked up her courage and asked where the chickens came from. Lin Shiheng with smiling eyes replied, My grandmother gave it to me, happily.

When he finished speaking, he left first, leaving Widow Zhang to contemplate alone.

Who didnt know that Old Lady Lin was the stingiest in the village? If she was willing to give Lin Shiheng the chickens voluntarily, she must have gotten the money. Otherwise, how could she be so generous?

It really was as she had predicted, if his own grandmother acted, it would definitely succeed.

Thinking of the benefits that Old Lady Lin promised, Widow Zhang delightedly went to the Old Lin house to ask directly.

How is it, Madam Lin? Did Lin Shiheng stop being stubborn?

I heard that you also gave him two chickens. How much did he give you? You agreed to split with me.

Get out!

Old Lady Lin was already full of anger and was distressed by her chickens. It just so happened that Widow Zhang had to rush and remind her again. She exploded immediately; she slapped the table, stood up, and screamed at her to leave.

Widow Zhang was stunned for a bit. What do you mean? After you got the money, you forgot whose credit it was for telling you about the money? If it werent for me, would you know Lin Shiheng had the money?

What f**king money?! That brat didnt give anything while he still took my chickens. You are not a good thing either. Dont think I dont know whats on your mind! Get out!

Widow Zhang was not someone to mess with either. Hearing these curses, her expression immediately changed and began to scold Old Lady Lin while holding her hips.

Well, now that youve got the money, youve turned your back on people, havent you?!

***

Lin Shiheng took the two chickens to the county and let his brothers stew and share. When he returned at night, he listened to Mother Lins strange story: Your aunts mother-in-law and your grandmother actually got into a fight today. Several people tried separating them, but couldnt even pull them apart. I heard that their injuries werent light. They were brought home but were still cursing while lying in bed. What kind of deep hatred caused such a thing?

Under the light, the even more handsome young man smiled and put his luggage in the suitcase. Whatever they do, its none of our business.

Thats true.

Mother Lin responded and was even a little happy for her sister-in-law. After all, Widow Zhang was beaten until shes stuck in bed, she would naturally have no time to bully her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

She dropped the gossip and turned her head to look at her son, Shiheng, when are you going to head out?

All the things at home are almost done, reckon it is almost time to leave. Thinking about it, theres really a bit of unwillingness to part.

Ill wait a bit. Theres still one last thing that hasnt been taken care of. After its taken care of, I can rest assured when I leave.

Lin Shiheng closed the suitcase, raised his head, and smiled at his mother.

Mother Lin asked curiously, Whats the matter? Havent you taken care of everything at home already?

Its regarding my brothers, when Im not at home, I have to request them to take care of you for me.

Im this already old, how would I still need to be taken care of? You can go work with peace of mind, dont worry about me. Ive been going out every day these days, meeting with the Kes. The chat has been going pretty well. I also met that Jialing child a few times. She is a good child.

When talking about her future daughter-in-law, Mother Lin immediately felt spirited and assured her son with a pat on her chest, Shiheng, you can rest assured that I will definitely help you get through to Jialings parents, but you must also work hard. Jialing has good grades and will definitely go to college in the future. Although you two young people have a good relationship, you have to do a bit better to be worthy of her, you know?

Lin Shiheng didnt mind his mothers nagging at all. He smiled and nodded, Mom, I know. You go to bed early, dont worry. I will work hard, not only for Jialing in the future but also for your old age.

Mother Lin immediately looked at her sons tall figure, feeling comforted in her heart and feeling that her son was really becoming more stable.

Sure enough, having a girl you like pushes you forward.

She made the bed and was about to fall asleep, but she was still thinking before going to bed, Shiheng said theres still one last thing to take care of. What could it be?

***

On the third day, the county suddenly announced a comprehensive rectification. The government sent people with the county public security to sweep the streets to catch hooligans.

The small group led by Lin Shiheng was reported, and the police took to the streets to arrest them. They thought they would at most meet the stubborn resistance of the ruffian group.

But it turned out, this small group didnt resist and followed them honestly. Instead, a group of people who, in their view, were poor people oppressed by the small gangsters rose up and wanted to fight them. Each person holding hands, holding winter melons and eggs, blocking them from moving forward.

On what account are you arresting people?

You cant go. Leave those people behind.

These men in uniforms, with a righteous look on their faces, who felt that they were eliminating societal harm went into a collective daze.

The leader came forward and said a few words, Folks, you do not have to be afraid. We already have these people under control, they can no longer force you to pay money. No matter what, we will definitely protect you.

What were supposed to be comforting words made the crowd even more furious.

What do you mean force us to pay? We willingly gave the money!

I gave money, who was forced to give it? They helped me with my work, helped me push my cart, and also helped me watch the stalls. If things are lost, they would also help me search. Who was forced to pay?!

This was a stimulating argument.

Public security comrades, you can investigate. These are good kids! They have not done any bad things. When we pay money, its equivalent to hiring. Is it against the law to hire someone now? Need to go to jail?

This was a calm analysis.

An-ge, Comrade An-ge, my husband really is a good man. Every time everyone thanks him and sends him vegetables, he would still refuse to accept it. He says he couldnt take a single advantage from the people. This is right by the party and right by the country. Comrade, let him go. Our child is only half a year old this year and cannot live without a father.

This was a family member kneeling on the ground crying.

The scene was chaotic. The people who were originally passing by to sell vegetables also stopped one by one and were full of anger and agitation.

There is also the child, whose father had also been captured, crying while being held by his mother for his father.

A group of public security people looked at a loss.

Arent they here to crack down on criminals and protect the country from violence?

Didnt the informant say that these ruffians did a lot of bad things and forced the common people to pay up?

They are here to catch the bad guys, arent they?

Why did it look like they were the bad guys now?
