Chapter 20: The Crybaby Li Lin

The little girl was first stunned!

Then her eyebrows raised and her eyes smiled as she recalled certain memories.

With a pure smile on her face, she said, “Big Brother Lin!

Is it really you?

Big Brother Lin?”

The little girl was so excited, jumping and bouncing around just like a little girl.

Lin Zifeng was also taken aback, then he thought of something and said in disbelief, “Are you the crybaby Linlin?”

“Big Brother Lin, how can you say that about me?

I’m all grown up now, why do you still dwell on the past?”

Li Linlin puffed up her cheeks and quickly started to act coquettishly towards Lin Zifeng.

She hastily pulled Lin Zifeng into her room.

“Dad!

Mom!

Come out quickly, look who’s back.”

Li Linlin was very excited.

Since Lin Zifeng had disappeared five years ago, Li Linlin had been longing for him to return.

Now that her wish was fulfilled, how could she not be happy?

Lin Zifeng gave a wry smile repeatedly.

When he left, Linlin was just a teenager, a girl who seemed like she would never grow up, always pulling Lin Zifeng along to play with her.

She particularly liked following him around, acting like Lin Zifeng’s little tail.

Whenever she saw Lin Zifeng go out for business or for fun, the clever little girl always liked to tag along.

But now that he was back, everything had changed.

The little girl from before had grown up into a young woman.

Gone was the delicate air of the past, replaced instead by a mature demeanor resembling the girl next door.

Holding her hand, Lin Zifeng felt somewhat embarrassed.

After not seeing her for five years, it seemed as if Linlin had suddenly returned to the past.

“Who’s come?”

An aged voice came from the kitchen.

When they all came out together and saw that it was Lin Zifeng, both were stunned.

Li Linlin’s mother, a regular school teacher, and her father, a worker, had watched Lin Zifeng grow up.

Seeing the chiseled cheeks of Lin Zifeng, both were stunned.

“Is it really you, Zifeng?” Li’s mother was the first to break the silence, trembling as she stiffened, staring fixedly at Lin Zifeng as if she couldn’t believe it.

“Auntie Li, it’s me, I’m back.”

Lin Zifeng’s calm face still maintained a smile.

“Zifeng, is it really you?

Are you really back?”

The boy who had still been immature five years ago had returned as a sunny, resolute young man.

It all felt like another lifetime to Li Lin’s mother and father, their faces filled with disbelief.

“Auntie Li, it really is me, I’ve come back.

How have you all been?”

Although Lin Zifeng wanted to know why, despite sending so much money home every year, his house had become a place for others’ secret rendezvous, he was eager to know the reason.

But he did not hurry to ask because he believed that Auntie Li, a people’s teacher, would not possibly do such a thing.

“Dad!

Mom!

It’s really Big Brother Lin who has returned.” The excited look filled Li Lin’s rosy cheeks; clearly, she still remembered Lin Zifeng in her heart.

“Zifeng!

I am sorry!”

Suddenly!

Li Lin’s father’s face showed an unbearable expression, and he fell to his knees.

“Uncle Li, what are you doing?”

Lin Zifeng hurriedly helped Li Lin’s father up.

“Zifeng, I owe you an apology.” Tears streamed down Li Lin’s father, Li Tian’s, wrinkled eyes.

“Uncle Li, let’s talk it over slowly, please get up.

Come on!

Get up, we can talk it over.”

Lin Zifeng stepped forward to hurry and support Li Lin’s father.

“Zifeng, all these years, I have let you down!

Now that you have finally returned, had you not returned, your house was about to be demolished.”

Li Tian’s tears flowed freely, his hand on Lin Zifeng’s arm trembling, his emotions obviously very intense.

“Uncle Li, can we talk about whatever it is slowly please?”

Seeing Li Tian’s actions and emotions so stirred up, it was obviously a serious matter.

Lin Zifeng hurriedly helped the elderly man to sit down on a bench.

Then, he took out a cigarette, lit it for Li Tian, and said, “Uncle Li, what exactly happened?

You can tell me slowly.”

Li Tian smoked the cigarette, his head bowed, a look of helplessness on his face, his body shaking, obviously facing some insurmountable problem.

Li Lin’s mother, Li Qinhua, also hung her head, her face covered in tears.

Lin’er, seemingly aware of the underlying issues, quietly stood aside.

“Ah, Zifeng, you have finally come back.

The house has been through earth-shattering changes these past few years.

Had you not returned, I reckon your home would have almost been demolished.”

Li Tian let out a heavy sigh, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, aware that even Lin Zifeng’s return might not amount to much, and instead, the situation could become even more complicated.

He was anxious and unsure how to help Lin Zifeng resolve it.

Lin Zifeng, reading Li Tian’s expressions and guesswork, along with the word ‘demolition’ mentioned by both a brazen man and Li Tian, had a few ideas in mind.

“Uncle Li, what exactly happened at home?

Tell me slowly.”

“Zifeng, I’m afraid telling you will only make you more upset.” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Raising his wrinkled and weathered face, Li Tian himself didn’t know how to start explaining.

For a moment, the house, once filled with warmth, now seemed somewhat cold and quiet.

The entire room was pervaded by a deathly silence, no one breaking the quiet, quietly waiting for Li Tian’s response.

“Since you left five years ago, things back home started changing gradually, especially in recent years.

The village was heavily into planning, integrating it into the new rural construction.

While every household was doing quite well, some time ago, Liu Lao Wu, the local tyrant at the village head, suddenly visited your home and said he wanted to demolish your small flat to build a warehouse.

When I heard that, I was displeased,

The owner had not returned; how could they demolish someone else’s home?

This situation was unacceptable anywhere!

But no matter how much I argued, that bastard Liu Lao Wu insisted on forcibly demolishing your house, and as a result, I ended up reporting this to the police station,

But it turned out these people were all in cahoots, and they even brought some street hooligans to our house to create trouble, insisting that they must demolish your small flat.

Reluctantly facing these issues, you entrusted me to take care of your home before you left, but Uncle Li truly felt powerless!”

As he spoke, Li Tian’s emotions began to flare up, his teeth gritted with intense resentment.

“The money you sent back every year, I haven’t touched a single cent.

We’ve been neighbors for decades, how could I take your money?

Lin’er, quickly, get the money that your Brother Lin sent back every year.”

“Uncle Li, there’s no need.”

When Lin Zifeng heard the familiar name Liu Lao Wu, the corners of his mouth involuntarily revealed a strange smile.

Bastard!

Five years apart, you’ve grown quite audacious…
