The two elders were rendered speechless, choking on their words. “You… we’re of the same clan! You bear the surname Lin, you-“
Lin Zhen chuckled, but his laughter didn’t reach his eyes. “Same clan? How do you compare to Lin Dahai’s family?”
The implication was clear: even his own grandparents couldn’t control him. What right did these two have to speak of kinship?
Lin Zhen added coldly, “Do you think you’re closer to me than my fiancée? What are you even thinking?”
Song Wei crossed her arms and leaned against Lin Zhen.
“Considering your age, we won’t hold this against you. But don’t try this nonsense again, okay?”
The two elders nearly fainted from rage.
They wanted to retort but could only stammer incoherently, failing to utter a complete sentence.
The onlookers were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up in understanding.
You can argue like this?
“Let go of my father!”
Just as the elders were dealt with, the younger generation appeared.
Lin Dasheng’s son came charging in like a firecracker.
Heidan and Shuanzai immediately rolled up their sleeves. “We’ll handle this one!”
And just like that, the three children were at it.
Lin Dasheng’s son was chubby and spoiled, accustomed to throwing his weight around. He had some strength, but Heidan and Shuanzai, though smaller, held their ground.
After all, Lin Zhen and Song Wei made morning exercises a daily ritual, and Heidan joined them. Later, Shuanzai joined in too. By now, both boys were fit and agile.
The chubby kid, on the other hand, was all fat and no stamina. After a few solid punches, he sat on the ground, wailing at the top of his lungs.
Lin Dasheng’s parents panicked and tried to intervene, their protective instincts kicking in.
“Let go of my grandson! Heidan, you little jinx! Let go of him right now!”
Lin Zhen and Song Wei blocked them.
“They’re just kids fighting. How much harm can it cause? But if you two adults insist on interfering, don’t blame us for being impolite. And watch your language!”
The elders, feeling cornered, resorted to shamelessness.
“What are you going to do? Hit us, two old folks? Go ahead! Come on, hit us!”
Song Wei smirked.
“Not you, but your son? Absolutely.”
She darted over to Lin Dasheng and delivered a swift kick.
“Care to try me?”
Lin Dasheng screamed in pain.
The two elders looked back and forth between their son and grandson, torn and distressed.
The old woman tried to lunge at Song Wei, but Song Wei easily dodged, causing the woman to fall on top of her son.
“You’d better not try anything. If you do,I’ll just keep hitting him.”
True to her word, whenever the elders moved, Song Wei dodged and then returned to slap or kick Lin Dasheng, leaving him wailing for mercy.
“Father! Mother! Stop fighting! It hurts so much! This woman hits like a demon!”
The elders froze, too scared to act further.
The onlookers, witnessing the spectacle, quietly thought Serves him right.
“Song Wei really is something. She even managed to handle those two old scoundrels.”
“It’s about time someone dealt with Lin Dasheng, that troublemaker. I bet he’s the one who stole my prized hen, yet those two shameless elders denied it and accused me of bullying them.”
Many elderly villagers had suffered at Lin Dasheng’s hands over the years.
As a child, he caused endless trouble, and his parents always excused him with, ‘He’s just a kid; can’t you let it slide?’ That phrase had become a nightmare for many.
Now grown, Lin Dasheng frequently stole, gambled, and corrupted younger kids. He was a plague on the village.
So, unsurprisingly, no one stepped forward to plead for him.
When the police arrived, the two elders clung to the officers’ legs, wailing.
“Our son knows he was wrong! Officer, we’ll discipline him properly. Please don’t take him away! He’s still a child- give him a chance to change!”
The officer was dumbfounded.
“A child? He’s almost forty! That’s the oldest ‘child’ I’ve ever seen.”
The onlookers burst into laughter.
“That’s right. They’ve been using the ‘he’s just a kid’ excuse since Lin Dasheng was little. These two really have no shame.”
“Officer, you should investigate thoroughly. I’m sure Lin Dasheng is the one who stole my chickens!”
“And he beat up my kid before!”
“My money went missing once too. Can you ask if he took it?”
The elders panicked.
“You’re all spouting nonsense! My son is perfectly fine. You’re just jealous of us!”
Many villagers rolled their eyes.
In the end, Lin Dasheng was taken away.
The elders tried to force their daughter-in-law, Juanzi, to kneel and beg for mercy, but she refused, drawing even more disdain from the crowd.
“Juanzi, stand up for yourself! Don’t let them bully you anymore.”
Juanzi, Lin Dasheng’s wife, was thin and frail, dressed in patched-up rags. Her hollow, lifeless eyes betrayed years of suffering. At that moment, her son was hitting her, calling her useless.
“You’re so worthless! Why are you even here?”
The two elders joined in, berating her and kicking her for failing to keep their son from being arrested.
The villagers quickly stepped in to break it up.
The brat had kicked Juanzi in the stomach, and the next moment, she clutched her abdomen, her face pale.
“She’s bleeding! Juanzi’s bleeding!”
Song Wei immediately grabbed the brat and gave him a solid kick on the backside.
“Do you want your mother to die?”
She had been itching to teach this little terror a lesson.
The boy howled, clutching his butt, while the women rushed to help Juanzi to the village doctor.
“Oh dear, it looks like she had a miscarriage. That brat is downright vicious, kicking his own mother like that.”
The elders were stunned.
“A miscarriage? She was pregnant?
Why didn’t she tell us? Was she trying to deny us a grandchild?”
Even then, they blamed Juanzi instead of their grandson, showing no remorse.
They even demanded compensation from Song Wei for hitting the boy.
Song Wei rolled her eyes.
As she was about to leave, she turned back, grabbed the brat again, and gave him another round of spanking.
Her strikes were precise-painful but not harmful.
“Just looking at you makes me angry. Consider this payback for hitting my Heidan.”
She didn’t bother finding a better excuse.
The elders were furious, their eyes practically rolling back in their heads.
“You-you-you’re so cruel!”
Song Wei smiled.
“Exactly. I specialize in disciplining brats like him.”
With that, she walked away, leaving the crying boy behind.
But if you looked closely, there was fear in his eyes as he watched her go.
Some people only learned through discipline.
It was later confirmed that Juanzi had indeed suffered a miscarriage-she had been nearly three months pregnant.
She hadn’t known because her malnutrition had caused irregular cycles, and she was so used to discomfort that she didn’t realize she was expecting.
