Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 238 Lin Zhengyong Wants to Learn Martial Arts

In the quiet night, an oil lamp was lit in the main room of the village chief's house. Three, four, five, or six people sat inside, watching Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan... eating the hand-pulled noodles made by Aunt Zhang.

The two sisters, under the gaze of a crowd, obediently ate the noodles in their bowls, and had to answer their questions from time to time.

When asked why she was so late coming back from the city, Lin Lanshan, with something in her mouth and not thinking clearly, accidentally let slip the answer.

Goodness, the people inside the room instantly became as excited as if the water had boiled.

Everyone stood up, and the men asked them how things were going, while the women immediately took action.

The two sisters couldn't help but laugh because Aunt Zhang and Sister Yang were tickling their wounds everywhere.

I almost spat out the noodles I had just bitten into.

They kept dodging and kept saying it was nothing.

"Alright, you two, stop making a fuss. The children are still eating. If you keep doing this, they'll choke," said Village Chief Lin Youfu, waving his hand.

Aunt Zhang opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Well, I was in a hurry! How did I end up getting injured just from going out?"

"Look at you, you're so impatient! Lanshan said they went to the clinic, and they're sitting here eating peacefully, which means there's nothing seriously wrong."

"You're not in a hurry, you were the one who was yelling the loudest just now, and you still have the nerve to say that to me?" Aunt Zhang was getting impatient and angry, and she took a few big steps forward to start arguing with the village chief.

Lin Chunyi reacted quickly, pulling Aunt Zhang's arm and making her sit back down in the chair.

"Auntie, we're really alright now. How about Lanshan and I demonstrate a set of boxing techniques for you?" After saying that, she stood up straight and got into a fighting stance.

Aunt Zhang gently scolded her, "Why are you still doing boxing when you're injured! Hurry up and sit down and finish your noodles, or they'll get cold."

They had eaten a big lunch, but after running around all afternoon, the two sisters were actually hungry again. So they each ate a big bowl of noodles, even drinking the soup clean.

After they finished eating, it was time for their interrogation.

Lin Lanshan wanted to turn the tables, so she spoke first and gave a brief account of her injury.

She pinched her left index finger and thumb together, leaving only a small gap, and blinked as she said, "Although my sister and I suffered some minor injuries, there are actually many benefits."

Yang Huiyun pouted and said, "What good would getting injured do? You're just trying to fool us again."

The others also wore expressions of disapproval and "let's see how you make this up."

"Sister-in-law, it's true!"

Lin Lanshan glanced at Lin Zhengmin and asked him, "Brother Zhengmin, hehe~ We stole a few sword techniques from a martial arts master, do you want to learn them? They look really cool!"

She demonstrated a few sword moves with her hands, which looked quite impressive.

"..."Studied it by stealing? That's not a good idea.

Lin Youfu was also somewhat helpless about the two girls' ideas, "Others compete to improve themselves, but you go to compete to steal their moves?"

Lin Lanshan retorted confidently, "No, no, my wording is flawed. This isn't stealing; I learned it openly and honestly! I learned it the moment he used it, so how can you blame me?"

Lin Chunyi also smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, it's just a few basic sword techniques. He didn't use any of the ones that can't be passed on to outsiders."

Before Lin Zhengmin could speak, the second son, Lin Zhengyong, jumped out.

He silently raised his hand and waved it, then called out in a drawn-out voice, "Sister, my dear sister, my good sister~"

"?"

"?"

Lin Youfu tapped him on the head, "Speak properly, it's late at night, whose soul are you trying to summon!"

Ignoring his headache, Lin Zhengyong rushed to the two sisters to make his request. He had been holding back for a while, but he couldn't hold back any longer!

“Brother Zhengyong, be normal... Just tell us what you want us to do, don’t be so weird.”

Lin Lanshan felt a chill run down her spine whenever she thought of those few times they called her "little sister."

"Lanshan, my dear sister! Forget about whether your elder brother learns sword techniques or not, worry about your second brother's life first!" Lin Zhengyong looked dejected and was almost in tears.

The two sisters looked at the other people in the room, and they knew what Lin Zhengyong meant as soon as they heard him say that.

Some felt ashamed, some looked helpless, and some were gloating...

The two sisters were even more confused.

Lin Chunyi asked, "Brother Zhengyong, what exactly happened?"

Lin Zhengyong's expression was a mixture of grief and resignation. "Linlan, she... she actually knows martial arts!" He had thought Linlan was a quiet, gentle, and delicate woman. He was heartbroken; he had been deceived...

When he first saw her being harassed by thugs and rushed to help, did he seem like a brainless idiot...?

Waaah, so embarrassing, so embarrassing!

The two smiled, but hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that he didn't get a surprised response for a long time, Lin Zhengyong's mind started to work.

"Did you all already know?"

Lin Lanshan said shyly, "It wasn't very early, was it? I only found out the first time we met."

Lin Zhengyong's face was filled with shock and sadness at being kept in the dark. "Then why didn't you tell me? You're siding with outsiders!"

The matter has been laid out, and the two sisters don't want to offend either side.

Lin Chunyi retorted, "Brother Zhengyong, we actually did remind you."

"When did you..." Lin Zhengyong instinctively retorted, but then suddenly remembered, "That's what you call a reminder? You're kidding me."

He had previously mentioned hoping that after he had children, they could teach them a thing or two. The two girls then gave him a knowing look and said, "We'll see later..."

Although he didn't want to be a brainless idiot, he wasn't a genius who could easily understand other people's eyes and meanings!

The two looked up at the sky; to their left was the ceiling, and to their right was also the ceiling.

Lin Zhengyong gave up on arguing about this issue; he now had more important things to resolve.

"Forget it, now's not the time to argue about that. I don't care, you two deceived me! To make it up to me, you have to teach me martial arts, right now!"

Lin Chunyi asked in surprise, "Let's not even talk about how late it is to teach now. Zheng Yong, why are you learning this? Are you planning to fight with Sister Ning every day at home and have a house-destroying competition?"

The two sisters looked at him with the same expression they would have of a future domestic abuser who would beat and kick his wife.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang grabbed his ear and yelled, "You're learning martial arts for such rotten ideas? You want to lay a hand on Linlan?"

"No, no, no!" Lin Zhengyong grimaced, still unable to finish what he wanted to say.

His father, Lin Youfu, slammed his fist on the table again. "He wouldn't dare!"

"No man in our Lin family has ever laid a hand on his wife! Lin Zhengyong, if you dare to do something so disgraceful to my Lin family, I'll personally break your legs!"

Lin Zhengmin didn't speak, but he frowned, his expression grim. He, too, didn't want his younger brother to become like that.
