The Blessed (Book 1)

106. After Moving Out (2)

“Grandma, grandma is still weak, just listen to dad’s.”

Ling Chenglong was still hesitating. To everyone’s surprise, the stingy Ling Wen unexpectedly took the initiative to stand out, saying so while pulling him to walk outside already.

“But…but…”

It was a rare thing that his grandson was this generous, while Ling Chenglong was still talking buts… Seeing this, Ling Jingpeng gave him a gentle push, “Dad, even if you don’t listen to my big brother, you should listen to Xiaowen. You know, Xiaowen has seldom been this generous.”

“Uncle!”

While persuading his dad, he still didn’t forget to tease Xiaowen. Xiaowen immediately gave him a hard stare. Seeing this scene, everyone laughed out again, while Lady Wang said feebly with a faint smile, “All right. Do as your son told you.”

“Alas!”

With her words, Ling Chenglong no longer hesitated, took the initiative to pull up two little buns and went to the backyard. Ling Jingxuan helplessly shook his head, saying as he turned back, “Mom, you have a good rest. Jiangpeng and I will go out.”

“Hmm. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

After a short brawl, Ling Wang also got in a better mood and spoke more fluently. The three brothers quietly exchanged glances and turned to leave one after another.

“Ge, I am sure Ling Chenghua has knocked over our mom intentionally. Although in such a mess at that time, I accidentally caught her malice flashing in her eyes.”

Having run here and there with them for a whole day, Yan Shengrui had already gone back to his room to rest. The wound on his head hadn’t been fully recovered. The three brothers gathered in the room. As Ling Jinghan sat down, he told everything he had seen to Ling Jingxuan, which was also why he gave the old man that dead blow before they left. Even if they had no proof to prove Ling Chenghua was really on purpose, it was a fact that she made their mom have the miscarriage. If it was other common families, how could they be so indifferent? This time, they were really deadly disappointed.

“Hum, I have already seen it. Ling Chenghua thought she did it without anyone noticing, and takes all of us as fools. But what she doesn’t know is, however hard she tried to cover it, her eyes betrayed her. Her eyes have already told me everything. And the one having tried to take the opportunity to kill our mom…If I guess it right, it should be Ling Jingwei.”

“What?!”

Before his words fell, his two younger brothers shouted, looking shocked, with naked disbelief under the eyes. Ling Jingxuan cast a faint glance at them, then poured a cup of tea for each, “Don’t be that surprised. Ling Jingwei is a selfish and dark person. This kind of people have a typical personality—he never thinks he does anything wrong. As long as he makes a mistake, he’d think it’s someone else’s fault. I told shopkeeper Zhang about his born cold sperm thing, then he not only ended up with a peaceful divorce, but also became people’s laughingstock. So it’s only normal if he hates me. Maybe today was a moment’s decision of his, so he didn’t consider the result it’d take. But it’s true he wants our mom’s life. This isn’t over. Give me some time, I’ll let them pay!”

If it was his underlings, he might consider give them a chance. But if it’s his family…he’d let them regret of coming of this world!

“If it is like what you said, we must not let go of Ling Jingwei, but ge, you’d better be careful, don’t let the Ling family have something on you, otherwise they’d come make trouble again.”

Hearing him, the two brothers soon calmed down, Ling Jingpeng’s face was written with naked anger and worries, angry about the Ling family’s malice, worried about Ling Jingxuan.

“Silly you, who told you that I must take revenge using my own hands?”

Eyes rolling, Ling Jingxuan curved his lips to make a smile, “The Ling family, from top to bottom, care their face and dignity most. So we can work on that. It’s too easy to kill them with one blow. To this kind of people, I should take it slow, until they’d rather die than living.”

Gentle tone, light smile, but the words were indifferently bloodthirsty, this time, Ling Jingxuan was really angry.

“About the revenge thing, you stay out of it. Just watch aside for fun. Tomorrow I’m going to town. You watch dad for me. He is softhearted. I’m afraid they’d ask him back using the excuse that our grandpa passed out. You must try to stop him! It’s not easy to finally move out. We can’t jump back ourselves.”

Ling Jingxuan didn’t want his younger brothers to see too many dark sides of the world, so he tried to switch the topic. People of old Ling family were shameless, who were capable of anything. Although they divided up the family and moved out and they were no longer related to them, after all, the old couple was Ling Chenglong’s blood parents, and he was a kindhearted filial son. So just in case…

“Hmm, I know. Ge, if you have extra money, can you buy some books, brushes, ink sticks, paper and inkstones for me?”

Nodding, Ling Jinghan asked embarrassedly, with that pale face turning a little red. Those books he had ever read were all the Ling family’s, so he could not take them with him. But now he had been much better, plus, it was only a few months from the tongsheng examinations, so he wanted to have a try. If he could get listed, those people in the village wouldn’t dare to look down on them.

“Haha…That is a good thing. Don’t be so polite with me. And Jingpeng, later I’ll give you twenty taels of silver, you send them to the village head. About the military service, none of us would go.”

How could Ling Jingxuan not see what his second younger brother was thinking? He felt so happy for him from deep of his heart. It’s not a horrible thing if you are poor. But it’s really a horrible if you have no aspirations. Seen from now, his two younger brother had no outstanding abilities, but his second younger brother could read, and was very diligent. And his third younger brother, he never complaining when helping him pick wild fruit in the mountains or catch fish in the water. With such good younger brother, he’d rather lose all he had for them, let alone pay for books or the military service.

“Hmm!”

The two brothers nodded excitedly, as if good times were already beckoning to them.

By contrast, the old Ling family’s die was in a total mess. After the old man woke up, dragging his weak body, he went to Ling Jingwei in the first place, shouted abuse at him from tip to toe. Even the big son’s whole family suffered. Finally the old man even decided to let Ling Jingwei to serve in the army. Of course, Ling Chengcai and his wife wouldn’t agree, making a turmoil. While the third son Ling Chenghu felt happy. As long as his son didn’t have to go, he’d feel happy. This whole family were really unbelievable, one was more selfish than the other. They’d be no good result waiting them ahead.
