Chapter 210 - [Bonus ]I Didn’t Do Any Wrong
" Wh-what ! What ? Which son of a bitch did this ?" Lin Ze who was sleeping peacefully suddenly felt something warm and wet splashing on his body and he immediately startled awake - he jumped on his feet and took a fighting stance like he could take down ten or twenty men alone in a fight . But then instead of seeing the gangsters from the usury , he saw his mother standing in front of him with a scowl plastered on her face - even though Lin Ze saw who it was , he didn't tone down his arrogance instead , he wiped his face with? his hand and growled at his mother " What ? Why are you acting like a mad woman so early in the morning , mother ? Why did you have to do that to me , can't you see I was sleeping so peacefully ? Why did you wake me up ?"
Old grandmother Lin heard Lin Ze 's rude words and the anger that was simmering in her belly finally blew up - though she was nice towards Lin Ze that was only because he was her own , her son that crawled out of her own belly ! The reason she was so biased towards him was only because she wanted Lin Ze to be good to her in the future . Old Grandma Lin was a calculating woman , she believed that no matter how good Lin Heng and his sons treated her , they will never be true to her because she wasn't their biological mother /grandmother . Thus , she was banking all her luck on her biological son and grandson but this son , whom she have raised like a pearl actually dared to shout at her and he even called her a mad woman. , couples with her hunger - her rage exploded !
" Sleep ? Do you only know how to eat and sleep ? " yelled grandma Lin , her wrinkled face crumpling up like she was sucking on a sour lemon " do you have any idea what trouble you have brought on our door step ? How dare you say that you want to sleep now !"
Lin Ze who almost went back to sleep was startled because of his mother's shouting. He have never seen his mother shout like this at him , in fact he wouldn't be bragging if he said that his mother never dared to even raise his voice at him . At first he was annoyed? but when he grasped on to the important information - all his laziness vanished and he sat up straight - trouble what trouble ? Did the usury guys returned to make trouble for him , no that was not right - he hasn't borrowed any money from the usury yet . So from where did the trouble came from?
" Mother , what do you mean by trouble ? If there is someone who is asking for you to return their borrowed money - kick them out . I haven't borrowed any money from anyone else because of you I can't even go out of the house? from where will I invite trouble ?" complained Lin Ze , a few days ago his legs recovered , thus he was itching to go out and gamble with his friends . He was confident that this time his luck will finally? shine and he will be able to win a lot of money ! But his mother wouldn't let him go ! After what happened with to Lin Ze , grandmother Lin was afraid to incite more trouble so she kept a close check on Lin Ze forbidding him from going out .
At first he liked the feeling of being served without doing anything but now he was bored as hell .
" What money ? What ' someone asking for money ' ? If that was it then I wouldn't have troubled you but instead you pulled such a stunt that I'm afraid our entire family will be dragged to Yamen !" said Grandma Lin as she slumped on the floor and started hitting her thighs repeatedly .
" Mother stop talking in circles and speak properly ! If you don't? want to tell me what trouble I caused then just get out ! Stop troubling me " shouted Lin Ze , his voice ten times louder than Grandmother Lin who was sitting on the floor and hitting her thighs .
Grandma Lin who was scolded immediately turned mute , she wanted to scold Lin Ze but then she caught the impatient expression on her son's face and calmed down . Whatever , she shouldn't fine trouble with her precious son like this , thus she softened her expression and said in a low voice " That bastard Lin Heng is back , Ze 'er its not that mother wants to scold you but why didn't you finish the task properly ? You already dragged? him to the middle of the storm why didn't you finished him off for once and for all ? If you did then something like this wouldn't have happened "
Grandma Lin wasn't upset with Lin Ze for trying to kill Lin Heng . She was angry because her son left made such a big blunder , now that Lin Heng was back there was no way he would just stay silent , right ?
Lin Ze didn't say anything he nearly stopped breathing after listening to his mother. His brain seemed to have stopped functioning and he couldn't hear a second words after hearing that Lin Heng returned . He sat like a wooden figure for a moment before he parted his lips and asked in a trembling voice - " Lin - Lin Heng ? Lin Heng .. he .. he is back ?"
" Yes " said Grandma Lin with a twisted face, her expression was so hideous that nothing could hide her malevolence intentions " not only is he back , he even dragged his rotten ass back to her sons . He is now at those brats house and everyone in the village are rushing to meet him , blah ! Why do they need to act so chummy with him , is? he an emperor or what ! " then pausing in her diatribe , Grandma Lin tentatively asked " Ze 'er , that bastard Lin Heng , will he call the Yamen runners on you ? Now that he is back , he will try to take revenge on you right ?"
Lin Ze 's expression changed , his lazy face suddenly became cold and blood thirsty" so what if he calls the Yamen runners ? That incident happened more than ten years ago who knows what happened during this time and what evidence does he have that I was the one who? didn't save him from the sea ? And even if I didn't save him? what's wrong with it ? Its the rule of the world that the strongest survives and the weak and kindhearted gets swallowed up? ! I did nothing wrong ! I did what I thought? was right , anyway his sons were already so big , they wouldn't? and they didn't suffer a loss but my children were still so young , if I drowned in the river then what would have happened to them ? I was just thinking about my children and their happiness , if big brother stayed then my children would have to share their things with his brats . Why should they ? Why should my kids be given two parts of the inheritance while his children gets seven? ? "f𝗿𝗲𝒆we𝚋n૦𝘃𝚎𝒍. 𝒄o𝚖
That's right , ten years ago both Father Lin and Lin Ze went to the sea to catch fishes . The weather was fine and everything was great but who would have known that by the time they rafted to the centre of the sea , the weather abruptly changed . The storm came out of nowhere and Lin Ze who was just a novice got scared , because of his fear and stupidity - he fell in the river .
If not for Father Lin who bravely jumped in the river to bring Lin Ze to the surface , it would have been Lin Ze who got swallowed by the sea instead of Father Lin .
Father Lin saved Lin Ze but Lin Ze was after all Grandma Lin 's own flesh and blood . His greed was no lesser than his mother , and coupled with the fact that grandma Lin kept filling his ears with the talk of Father Lin 's children getting more inheritance than his - The devil in his heart surged to surface that day , seeing that the storm was fierce and Father Lin was already having a hard time climbing back on their boat - Lin Ze pushed him down . That's right , Lin Ze pushed his own half brother , the one who saved him from the sea , the one who raised him all his life .
Every time Father Lin tried to get on the boat , Lin Ze would push him and kept pushing him in the sea until the latter was swallowed up.? Once he returned to the shore , Lin Ze cooked up a story and shed some crocodile tears thus no one suspected him .
Never did in his entire life , did he thought that his bastard of a brother will have such an awesome luck that he even survived that storm ! If he knew this would happen - he would have stabbed him to death with the knife they carried to clean the fishes - he shouldn't have been kind hearted to his brother back then !
