After Cao Jian and Liu Dongming left, Lin Yi took his things and returned to the courtyard.
Lin Yi placed the piglet in the cage and entered the kitchen.
Liang Ruoxu also took off her jacket and followed Lin Yi, preparing to help him.
âIf you want peace and quiet, I can find you a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Why did you come here?â Liang Ruoxu said.
There were so many good places in Jiangnan province, and the scenery there was much better than in a place like this. In Liang Ruoxuâs opinion, there was no need for him to come here.
âDonât you think this place is more real?â
âAre you referring to the environment here?â Liang Ruoxu asked as she peeled the potatoes.
âEnvironment is one thing, but so are the people,â Lin Yi said, âBoth the good and bad people also feel real.â
Liang Ruoxu peeled the potatoes silently without saying a word. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI reckon that once we go back, weâll have to deal with this matter thoroughly. It may trigger a wave inspection not only in Zhonghai, but nationwide.
However, if you hadnât come today, the inspection might not have ever come.â Liang Ruoxu smiled. âI remember that when you were working in the hospital, you caused quite a commotion. Itâs the same now. If this were in ancient times, you would be the imperial envoy.â
âSigh, Iâve helped a certain someone do so many things, but she never thanks
âWhy have I not thanked you? Iâm not an ungrateful person.â
âBut your reward is not proportional to my contribution.
âJust be content. Why be so greedy?â Liang Ruoxu said humorously. Then, hse picked up the fish and started to prepare it.
âYouâre good at preparing fish.â
âI learned it from my grandmother. If I was bad at this, sheâd scold me.â
âEven people from your background have to learn these things?â
Liang Ruoxu nodded and said, âMy grandmother used to say that as long as I have certain abilities, I will eventually find someone who is even more outstanding. So, I have some knowledge about many things, but I donât have to be exceptionally skilled in any particular one of them.â
âGrandma is right, because Iâm very omnipotent. I know everything.â
âIâm me and youâre you. We have nothing to do with each other. Donât flatter yourself.â
âYoung Missie, why are you here trying to lecture me like this? Iâve already touched and kissed you. Why arenât you admitting it?â
âIâm going to kill you! There are so many people out there.â Liang Ruoxu pinched Lin Yiâs waist, âBelieve me when I say that Iâll strangle you to death!â âItâs useless even if you pinch me, itâs the truth,â Lin Yi said.
âJust buzz off,â Liang Ruoxu said. âHurry up and cook. I havenât eaten in the morning. Iâm starving.â
âSure thing.â
After the meal, Lin Yi realized that Liang Ruoxuâs skill level was indeed not bad.
The food she made was thick and oily. It was obvious that it was authentic northern cuisine.
However, Liang Ruoxu only made two dishes, and the rest were prepared by
Lin Yi.
When the dishes were served, Tao Cheng and Wang Bingyu were stunned.
âLittle Lin, did you make all these dishes?â Tao Cheng was surprised.
âShe made the braised prawns and shredded potatoes. I made the rest.â
âYour culinary skills are too good.â Tao Cheng said.
âWeâll be blessed you come to our group in the future.â
âIâll make whatever you want,â Lin Yi said casually, âEat as much as you can.â
âBrother Lin, Brother Lin! â
Lin Yi had just taken out the wine and was about to eat when he heard someone talking in the courtyard.
She looked up and saw Du Yao.
âDonât you have class today? Do you want to come in and eat?â
âBrother Lin, stop eating first,â Du Yao said breathlessly.
âWhen I went home just now, I saw that a lot of people had gathered in Liu Dongmingâs home. There were at least fifty of them. Some of them even had sickles in their hands. It was so scary.â
âAnd?â
âThen I went home. My father said that you fought with them just now. I guess he must have gathered all these people to take revenge on you,â Du Yao said.
âDonât keep eating. You need to go!â
âIâm fine,â Lin Yi said, âThatâs not that many people.â
âBut heâs Cao Jianâs brother-in-law!â
âIâm not even afraid of Hadesâ brother-in-law.â Lin Yi smiled. âSince youâre already here, come in and eat. â
âI wonâtâ¦â
âYaoyao!â
Before Du Yao could finish speaking, Lin Yi saw that someone else had arrived.
It was her bootlicker, Guo Fei.
âWhatâs up with you?â Du Yao asked.
âIâm here to ask you to go back.â Guo Fei said.
âEveryone in Happiness Village knows about this now. If you donât leave now, itâll be too late.â
âIâm here to get Brother Lin to leave.â
Guo Fei looked into the house. âLook at the current situation. Do they look like they have any intention of leaving? Let me tell you, not only did he beat Liu Dongming, but he also slapped Cao Jian. Do you think they will let him go now?!
After learning that Cao Jian was also beaten up, Du Yao was shocked.
If it was only Liu Dongming, the matter might not be so serious. However, he actually beat up Cao Jian too. That would be troublesome!
âBrother Lin, youâre too impulsive!â Du Yao said anxiously.
âItâs fine.â Lin Yi patted Du Yaoâs shoulder. âIâll deal with this after dinner. Go back with him first.â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts,â Lin Yi said, âDonât worry, itâs fine.â
Since Lin Yi had said this, Du Yao couldnât say anything else. She could only reply resentfully,
âThen Iâll leave now.â
âGo.â Lin Yi looked relieved. âItâs fine.â
Du Yao reluctantly left with Guo Fei as Lin Yi returned to the dining table. Yang Guangxia smiled and said,
âKid, youâre quite popular. Someone even warned you to escape after something happened.â
âItâs always been like this. No matter where he goes, the women around him never stop flocking to his side,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âIâm also in despair. Iâve already run all the way here, yet I still canât find peace.
My life is too difficult.â
âEnough with the saint-like act,â Liang Ruoxu muttered.
âLetâs not talk about that. Letâs eat first.â Lin Yi held his wine glass and said.
âHave a sip.â
âKid, your alcohol tolerance is really good. Youâve already drunk two glasses, but you âre still acting as if nothing happened. â
The two of them clinked glasses and took a sip. After drinking, Yang Guangxia looked at MO Hongshan and said,
âWhen will our people arrive?â
MO Hongshan glanced at his watch and said, âThey should be here soon.â âThatâs unnecessary. Why did you mobilize so many people for such a small matter? I can handle it alone.
âIâm just tired of these problems. People like them should be dealt with on the spot through the political and legal system! â
âThese people have done a lot of bad things over the years. I just want to seek justice for the people they bullied.â
âI understand what youâre thinking, but itâs not right for you to take action on your own. The law is the only way to solve these problems.â
Lin Yi took a sip ofwine, picked up a cold dish, and placed it in his mouth. He chewed on it carefully and said,
âBut there are places where sunlight cannot reach, just like the law..â
