Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Asserting Dominance (2)_1 Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Asserting Dominance (2)_1 Lady Chen’s daughter, Xiao He, who always kept her head down when she left the house, suddenly lifted her head, her eyes shining brightly, showing no resentment toward Lin Yuan.
As Lin Yuan stuffed grass in her mouth, she continued to curse until her arm got a bit sore from Lady Chen’s mouthful of grass, but she didn’t get off her immediately.
Still clutching her hair with one hand, she viciously threatened, “Xiao He’s mother, you listen to me.
You can beat your own daughter at home, and I won’t interfere, but if you dare to lay a finger on anyone from Lin Yuan’s house, I’ll throw you into the river to feed the fish!”
Even though Lin Yuan didn’t have a kitchen knife in her hand this time and hadn’t threatened to chop her with one, Lady Chen was already terrified.
She didn’t dare spit out the grass in her mouth, just nodding woefully, her eyes rimming with red.
Only then did Lin Yuan let go of her hair and jumped up nimbly.
Lady Chen scrambled to her feet and dragged her daughter away.
Lin Yuan then scanned the crowd of onlookers with a cold gaze, most of whom were village gossips and naturally included her own Aunt.
“The words I just said are not just for Xiao He’s mother.
If anyone dares to bully my sister in the future, I’ll take a kitchen knife to their home and chop off their hand!”
The women, who had been eager to gossip, suddenly felt a cramp-like pain in their wrists and hurriedly dispersed.
Lin Yuan stared at Lady Ma amidst the crowd and said leisurely, “Aunt, please take this message to my third aunt.
If she dares to think about hurting my sisters again, what I do won’t be as simple as just beating her up.”
Lady Ma, scared by Lin Yuan’s sudden mention of her name and thinking Lin Yuan had heard her earlier gossip, broke out in a cold sweat.
But upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, realizing they weren’t directed at her, she hastily agreed with a smile, promising to pass on the message.
“And another thing, Aunt, if my grandparents are sick, they should see a doctor, not believe in those charlatans who every day chant nonsense without taking medicine.
If the Bodhisattva really worked, I’d have been Lucky Star a long time ago.
How could I still be Little Disaster Star, right, Aunt?”
Seeing the glint of chill in Lin Yuan’s eyes, Lady Ma knew she hadn’t escaped notice; Lin Yuan had indeed heard her and was deliberately using these words to warn her.
Lady Ma quickly ran off with a forced smile, even losing a shoe in her haste and not daring to put it back on until she was out of sight.
“Yuan sister, you’re too fierce!
Even Boss, who’s so formidable, is subdued by you!” Xiao Shitou said with admiration.
Although Lady Chen was his direct aunt, his uncle Lin Dashuan was not filial and didn’t do honest work.
After their father died, this aunt simply divided the property between her two sons and went to live with the younger one.
But even so, they couldn’t get rid of Boss; Lin Dashuan would still go to his biological mother for money when he had none.
If she didn’t give it, he’d make trouble, making it impossible for the third aunt to live in peace.
I’ve caused you trouble again,” Lin Wei said, her eyes reddening and tears swirling.
Lin Yuan patted her little cheek, comforting her, “My big sister is a delicate gem at home; she’s meant to marry into a wealthy family.
Of course, you can’t stoop to the level of those vile women.
Don’t be afraid; if there’s trouble, look for your big sister.
I will protect you all!”
“And me, I’ll protect Second Sister and Big Sister too in the future!” Xiao Linshuang declared, swinging her fists, full of determination.
Lin Yuan laughed heartily, then suddenly spotted a green frog hopping by Xiao Linshuang’s foot and shouted, “Ah, a frog!”
Xiao Linshuang might have been brave, but after all, she was a girl and was quite afraid of such creatures.
She screamed and threw herself into her sister’s arms.
Lin Wei was even more frightened, but Xiao Shitou clapped and laughed heartily, “Yaya wants to protect her sisters, yet she’s afraid of a frog, haha, how embarrassing.”
While Lin Yuan laughed and soothed her sister, the sight of these frogs sparked an idea for making money in her mind.
