Chapter 33: The Ruthless Father

Without the threat of the giant bug,

The gathered villagers gradually dispersed.

However, today's events left the entire village unsettled.

Especially Wang Er Gou's father, who seemed a bit unsteady when leaving.

He was truly frightened.

If the Wang family's annihilation was truly related to Lin Fan, their family would also be in danger.

After all, they had a prodigal son.

He had followed Wang Fa and also offended Lin Fan.

Although Wang Lichang, the eldest brother, helped mediate and said he had resolved the matter, there was still worry.

Who knows if Lin Fan would hold a grudge?

If one dark and stormy night, he were to sneak into their home, with the power to scare away the King of Beasts with just a glance, could their family survive?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

Lin Fan, the protagonist, was unaware of the fear of an old father.

Wang Lichang, the respected elder who personally pleaded, and the punishment of Wang Er Gou, were enough for him to not investigate the other party's fault further.

After all, punishment had already been dealt.

The angry punch from before was not just for show; several bones in the other party's body were broken.

If it weren't for luck, that punch could have killed him.

"It's alright."

Lin Fan watched as the other villagers left and gently reassured his wives.

"Husband, how did you do it?"

Wang Nannan asked with admiration on her face. Scaring away a fierce tiger with just a glance, in her eyes, was like a deity descending to earth. Otherwise, how could he have such formidable power?

Facing his wife's admiration, Lin Fan chuckled and said, "It's simple, just be more fierce than the other party. Even wild beasts don't want to get hurt. As long as you show a threat, they won't easily confront you."

"Oh, I see. Husband, you know so much. You're amazing."

Wang Nannan was simple-minded and believed everything Lin Fan said, instantly showering him with more admiration and praise.

It felt pretty good, to be honest.

"You were very brave just now."

After enjoying his wife's admiration, Lin Fan looked towards Wang Er Xiao on the side.

"Hehe~"

Wang Er Xiao scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Bravery is indeed commendable, but next time you encounter such a situation, you need to assess the situation clearly. Don't sacrifice yourself in vain. That's being irresponsible to your own life."

Lin Fan put away his smile and spoke seriously.

He was touched by the other party's actions, but he didn't want anyone to lose their life because of it.

Especially Wang Er Xiao.

Not only was he the eldest son of the family, carrying the high hopes of his parents, but he was also the pillar of the family.

If it weren't for him taking care of his younger siblings, in the conditions of the ordinary villagers in Wang Family Village, it would be impossible for all the children to grow up. It was normal for half of them to die prematurely.

If something were to happen to him...

Not only would Lin Fan feel extremely guilty, but the other party's family would also suffer a huge blow.

Such a result...

Would be even more difficult for him to accept than getting injured himself.

"Yeah, I understand, Brother Fan."

Wang Er Xiao obediently nodded, but whether he truly understood or not, only he knew.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go home so your parents won't worry."

Lin Fan didn't say much more. Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't invite the other party to have dinner.

"Okay."

Wang Er Xiao nodded again and then caught up with the footsteps of the departing villagers.

The giant bug had just entered the village, and he didn't dare to walk alone.

Lin Fan watched as the other party left, only retracting his gaze when he caught up with the dispersing villagers.

"Husband, we should thank Er Xiao just now. Why did you scold him instead?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked, somewhat puzzled, not understanding Lin Fan's actions.

Although Wang Er Xiao had done something futile, his character was commendable.

Just in his actions alone, he risked his life to save their family.

Even if they didn't express gratitude, they shouldn't scold him. It would only make him more sad.

You sacrifice yourself to save others, and not only do they not thank you, they even scold you.

Are you feeling comfortable in your heart?

"It's because of him that I want to talk about him."

Lin Fan didn't explain much and changed the topic: "Let's go home and have dinner. If we don't eat now, it will get cold and we'll have to spend time reheating it later."

"Okay."

The two younger daughters-in-law obediently went back to their rooms, leaving only the eldest daughter-in-law standing quietly by Lin Fan's side.

Lin Fan looked at her and she responded with a smile. Only she, with her clear mind, understood why Lin Fan, her husband, acted that way.

Lin Fan also smiled and held her hand. "Let's go back to the room, eat until we're full, take a bath, and go to sleep."

"Okay."

Ye Xiaorou blushed slightly, knowing that "going to sleep" was not an adjective, but a verb.

She had always been puzzled.

How could her husband be so capable that none of the three of them could satisfy him...

No wonder he could scare away a tiger with just a glance. He was really more fierce than a tiger!

Lin Fan didn't know what the eldest daughter-in-law was thinking at the moment. He quickly finished dinner and told the daughters-in-law to take a bath.

After they were clean and fragrant...

The old bed in the house made a crisp sound again, unable to bear the weight.

The second daughter-in-law, Su Xiaoxiao, was particularly proactive tonight, allowing Lin Fan to be even more unrestrained.

Night passed quietly.

When the sun rose again, a new day began.

Lin Fan, who had been busy all night, hadn't woken up yet when the courtyard gate, weathered by wind and frost, was knocked on again.

"What the f*ck!"

Lin Fan just wanted to say that.

He didn't know who his courtyard gate had offended. It had been vandalized early in the morning.

"Husband, who is it this time?"

The three daughters-in-law were still half-asleep. They had been busy for most of the night and were now very tired.

Lin Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I don't know either. It seems like we can't live in this house anymore."

"Husband, go and see. The other party is knocking so urgently, there must be something important."

Ye Xiaorou said gently.

"Okay."

Lin Fan nodded, got up from the gentle embrace, and the eldest daughter-in-law also wanted to get up and help him dress, but he shook his head to stop her. "You continue to rest, I'll handle it myself."

After saying that, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room, opening the courtyard gate.

"Uncle Wang, why is it you again?"

The moment he opened the courtyard gate, Lin Fan was speechless.

The one who knocked on the door early this morning was still the familiar Uncle Wang.

But today, he brought a few more people with him.

And there was someone being carried.

"Uncle Wang, what's going on?"

Looking at the other party's lineup, Lin Fan asked somewhat puzzled.

Early in the morning...

It was one thing for the other party to come, but they were also carrying an injured person. What kind of trouble did they want to cause?

But when he saw that the injured person being carried was Wang Er Gou, he roughly understood.

It seemed that what he said last night...

Wang's old father was really scared.

"Uncle Wang, this is your Uncle Wang. He came to apologize on behalf of his son, Er Gou."

Village Chief Wang pointed to a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to him, explaining helplessly.

After he had just returned home last night, his younger brother came in a panic, saying that he was afraid that their family would end up like Wang Youcai's family, wiped out overnight, and asked him, as the eldest brother, to help him.

At that time, he was a little confused.

When he found out what the situation was, he told his younger brother that he had already handled it.

But his younger brother was still worried and insisted on coming with him to apologize.

To show his determination, he even personally broke his own son's leg.

Wang Er Gou was being carried because his leg had been broken by his own father.

Mountain people are not good at speaking, so they express themselves through actions.

However...

Wang Er Gou was the one who suffered.

His injuries had just stabilized, and now his leg was broken again...

And the one who did it...

Was his own father.

How tragic was this?
