Chapter 168: Chapter 168: We Must Finish the Job Chapter 168: Chapter 168: We Must Finish the Job …
The Lin Family, with Liu Baixiao quickly being followed by some villagers, they arrived together into the Lin family courtyard.
Because Liu Baixiao hasn’t returned for many years, and he even changed his surname to ‘Liu’, when the people in the village saw him, each person’s face wasn’t too good, showing disdain, contempt, and even hatred.
Especially the people of the Lin Clan, glaring at this man who had disgraced their ancestors.
Actually, among the Lin Clan, there were some men who became ‘men who married into the wife’s family’, but this was mostly due to extreme poverty or if the couple fell in love, and only after the family’s consent, they would not change their surname, especially since after marrying into the wife’s family, one of the children would always keep their surname.
But Liu Baixiao is different as it was common knowledge that he did not hold any status in the Liu Family, even after he had changed his last name, no noticeable improvement in his conditions was noticed.
Even living in such a family, he was still able to tolerate it, which was undoubtedly something people would look down upon.
“Lin Laogeng, your son Liu Baixiao has come home to see you.”
One elderly man named Ya saw Liu Baixiao push through the courtyard gate and yelled in a loud voice.
His relationship with the Lin Family wasn’t that good, and now seeing this disgraceful Liu Baixiao return, eager to see Lin Laogeng’s embarrassment, yelled for Lin Laogeng to hear.
At home, Lin Laogeng was nowhere to be found, only Lin Changfeng who was busy in the kitchen heard it and came out full of confusion.
Seeing Liu Baixiao, Lin Changfeng’s face did not look good, but seeing so many people from the village following him, it wasn’t good to give Liu Baixiao a cold face publically. He could only awkwardly greet him.
“Uncle, what brings you home?”
Liu Baixiao hearing this question, his face immediately stiffened.
He hadn’t expected that just after arriving home and before even meeting his parents, he would see Lin Changfeng — the person he wanted to deal with.
Lin Changfeng at this moment, had an apron around his waist, a cooking spatula in his hand, looking nothing like a scholar, but a farmer dealing with the kitchen all day.
“Chang…Changfeng, what…what are you doing? Where are Grandpa and Grandma?” He stammered out a question.
He knew that his father couldn’t walk and had been bedridden for several years and so, he looked towards the door of a room and walked a few steps in its direction.
“Are they in the room? Let me go and see.”
“Uncle, Grandpa isn’t home, he went out.” Lin Changfeng saw him about to push open the door and immediately spoke.
Liu Baixiao turned around in confusion, looking at Lin Changfeng.
Could it be that his father’s legs were healed and he could walk again, otherwise who could have taken him out? Three maybe?
With just the little strength that Three had, how could he carry their father and walk such a long distance? He had just come from the outside of the village and hadn’t encountered anyone.
Lin Changfeng nodded.
“Before Uncle left, he bought some mountain land for Sangsang. Everyone is busy up in the mountains, today Grandpa also went to see it. I am currently cooking, later I have to take the food to the mountain.”
He glanced at the spatula in his hand and said.
“If Uncle is looking for Grandpa, there, he is on Manghuang Mountain. You can go yourself, I am busy in the kitchen.”
Saying this, he went back into the kitchen without wanting to deal further with Liu Baixiao. His intuition told him that Liu Baixiao’s return was definitely not for anything good.
Liu Baixiao opened and closed his mouth, his forehead covered in question marks. His father had actually gone to Manghuang Mountain? So, he has to go up the mountain to find him then.
“Forget it, just go find him and get this matter done.”
Turning his head, he looked at those who were sticking their heads out, ready to watch the show, and frowned.
