Chapter 268 - [Bonus ]
When Lin Yi heard this, her face started to twitch crazily and she darted a hurried glance at Lin Jing who was now staring at the two of them with a confused gaze, she couldn't allow Lin Yu to say this anything but this. If her eldest brother found out about it, he will never forgive her, and she will lose the only footing and support she had in this family. She bit on her bottom lip and said grievously " fifth brother you - why are you bringing this matter up? Didn't we agree to let this matter rest in the past? Why bring it up now? It will only create more trouble for us, right? You promised that you will never bring it up then why !"
" Because you seem to have gotten water flood in your head, " said Lin Yu simply as he poked Lin Yi's forehead " you seem to have gotten more and more brazen haven't you? Previously when you caused third brother to get injured causing him to almost lose his life, you promised that you would never come to meet us which was why I and second brother promised to never bring this matter up and let it rest in peace. Because we didn't want to make our family relationships even tenser than they already were, but presently you are the only one who broke the promise by coming here, it's not me breaking it, it's your second sister "
" Ah Yu what do you mean by causing Ah Chen to almost die? What? When did Yi'er do that? Are you... Are you speaking about the incident when Ah Chen was almost beaten to death? How is Lin Yi connected to that ?"? at Lin Yu's sudden announcement everyone was stunned except Lin Yan and Lin Chen.
Lin Yan coldly cast a glance at Lin Yi and looked away and Lin Chen who was busy beating He Rong dropped the stick in his hands. He didn't want anyone to know of this matter but he also knew that if he wanted Lin Yi to be barred from their house then this matter need to be told to the entire family. Today she actually came to ask them to marry He Rong so that she could take advantage of them and even insult Su Wan and hurt her pride, if she wasn't stopped in time who knows what she might do next?
So even though he felt as if he was going to lose an inch of the skin by letting his family know of this embarrassing incident he could only purse his lips and stay silent.

When Lin Yu was injured, Lin Yan and Lin Chen rushed to their sister's villages to borrow money from them. Third Lin sister and Eldest Lin sister didn't even think twice before taking out all of their savings and giving it to Lin Yan and Lin Chen for Lin Yu's treatment. To them, nothing was more important than their youngest brother even if they were scolded by their in-laws they still didn't dare to keep a single cent with them in case Lin Yu couldn't get the possible treatment.
However, as much kind as the third and eldest sister were just as petty and selfish Lin Yi was. When Lin Yan and Lin Chen went to borrow money from her, not only did she refuse to give them any money but she also said a lot of nasty things to both of them. It was like she wanted to make up for every wrong she thought she suffered through that she kept insulting them, she went as far as to call them leeches who were sucking the blood of their sister to fill their stomach.
Lin Yi's thinking was simple, at that time. She believed that the family in which she married had a better condition than her maternal family and with Grandmother Lin oppressing the first household there was no chance of her brothers to ever raise themselves from mud. She thought that if she gave them some alms at that time then they might come begging for more, later on, thus she decided to nip the bud before it bloomed and refused to let them suck her blood.
At first Lin Chen calmly listened to Lin Yi's insults, however, a prideful man was a prideful man even if someone broke his bones and clawed out his heart. After listening for a few minutes and realising that Lin Yi had no thought of giving them money, Lin Chen blew up. His explosive temper flared up and he insulted Lin Yi right back.
But who was Lin Yi? She was the arrogant brat of the Lin family. When she saw that Lin Chen actually dared to insult her despite coming at her threshold to beg, she too flared up even worse than him. Wanting to teach them both a good lesson, she rushed out of her house and claimed that Lin Yan and Lin Chen were two thugs who were trying to extort her.
She created a huge din in front of the villagers, crying and hysterically sobbing as she shouted at the villagers to help her, then everything happened to her plan. The villagers attacked Lin Yan and Lin Chen, if not for Lin Yan squeezing out and bringing the village head in a rush then maybe Lin Chen would have really died back then.
Thankfully, the village head knew the two of them explained that they both were Lin Yi's biological brothers. If not, Lin Yi would have killed them both without dirtying her hands.
One would have thought that after this much Lin Yi would have stopped but she didn't instead she went ahead and claimed that even though the two of them were her biological brothers, they were acting like a thug and we're demanding for money from them them them her. She made them sound like two good of nothings who did nothing but two leeches on to their sisters, it was simply too humiliating.
In the end, Lin Yan had to take an oath and swear that even if he died he wouldn't step a foot in the Wu Village only then the matter ended.
But that day was really the darkest day of their life, their bodies didn't hurt as much as their heart and face did. To be treated like hooligans by their own sister was like being shot without a gun, that day Lin Yi died for both of them just like their relationship.? However, neither Lin Yan nor Lin Chen told about this to their family because they didn't want to cause any more trouble, their brother was injured and their mother used to be sick. So they kept this matter close to their heart and never spoke of it.
Nobody knew about it except Lin Yu who more or less guessed it after sounding Lin Chen out. After finding out what Lin Yi did, Lin Yu took a special trip to the Wu village and made her swear that she will never come to beg for their help even if she was dying - It was one thing that Lin Yi didn't think much of her maternal family but it was another thing when Lin Yu forced her to promise with a log of wood on her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" YOU BAD WOMAN! How dare you! " Qi Zhi who was woken up because of the ruckus going out in the courtyard came out just in time to hear what Lin Yu was telling his brothers and Su Wan. When the Little boy heard that the bad woman hurt his jolly and always happy third brother until he died, Qi Zhi's heart clenched furiously, he couldn't believe that this woman treated his third brother and second brother so badly. He was so angry that he ran out of his room without wearing his slippers and threw a handful of snow at Lin Yi, thankfully, Lin Yu moved away and limped to a side on time before the snowball could hit him.
Lin Yu was lucky but Lin Yi wasn't even though she got free of Lin Yu's hold, her face was splattered with cold snow. The weather was already so frigid with Qi Zhi throwing snow at her, her originally dry clothes turned mushy.
She didn't think that Lin Yu's words would trigger even a little child, Lin Yi didn't even have a chance to stabilize herself when Qi Mei and Qi Shuyan too rushed out after their brother, Qi Mei didn't crouch down to pick up the snow instead she threw Qi Zhi's slippers that she brought in her hands at Lin Yi.
While Qi Shuyan who was the eldest was even crueller than his siblings he directly picked up a rock that was lying next to their door and threw it at Lin Yi, which hit her on her forehead and caused the latter to fall back on her butt.
Lin Yi clutched her forehead and groaned in pain, the rock have hit her right on the forehead, it wasn't a small rock either. She could feel her forehead swell and gritted her teeth furiously " who are you? What are you doing at my house? How dare you do this to me? Big brother see these brats -"
But the rest of his speech faltered when she looked up at her eldest brother who was staring at her with eyes filled with rage, his killing intent so furious that Lin Yi nearly died of fear " brot.. Brother? "
Lin Jing didn't say anything instead he walked past everyone in a dreamlike state and came to a stop in front of Lin Yi, he raised his hands and grabbed Lin Yi's hair before speaking in a voice that could only belong to King of Yama? " I never cared about your fussy attitude, you could have done anything, but you actually dare to harm your brothers? Don't you know that my younger siblings are on my reverse scale? How dare you touch them? Today if I don't teach you a lesson you will never learn "
Lin Yi felt as if her scalp was being ripped off, she couldn't help but struggle against Lin Jing's hold. Her entire head was going numb and was throbbing with pain, she grabbed her hair and tried to free herself as she screamed" Big Brother I'm your younger sibling too !"
"You were my sibling , but now , Not anymore " was the only thing that Lin Jing said before he started dragging Lin Yi by her hair.
* I don't support hitting or hurting women it's fictional and I will be the first to say a big no-no-no to such a scene. It's just an imaginary scene to show how angry Lin Jing is nothing more.
