Chapter 11: The Toad and the Golden Turtle Son-in-law

  In the Liu's kitchen, Liu Hongbin brought the killed carp to his wife Yu Meimei's stove, "Add more chili peppers, Lin Fei likes it spicy."

  "Know, know", Yu Meimei said in a low voice while busy with something else: "Hongbin, I'm telling you, that Zhang Chen's family, in the capital city, are either officials or professors, very rich, and that kid likes our Jinglan. Why don't we make an effort to get Zhang Chen to be our son-in-law, how about it?"

  "That senior who came with Jinglan?" Liu Hongbin said awkwardly: "He's so rich, he wouldn't look at us, and didn't we say before that we wanted to match Lin Fei and Jinglan?"

  "You're silly! Previously, it was because Jinglan didn't have a good man by her side, now there's someone better, why do you insist on marrying your daughter to Lin Fei? Lin Fei doesn't even have that kind of intention, aren't we just thinking too much ourselves?"

  "Impossible", Liu Hongbin said: "What if Lin Fei sees our daughter today and falls in love with her?"

  Mei Mei reached out and poked her husband's forehead, "Are you crazy?! You have a golden son-in-law but you don't want him, instead you let your daughter marry someone poorer than you. Although Lin Fei is a good person, can't you be more careful about our daughter's lifelong happiness?"

  Liu Hongbin furrowed his brow, he also knew that if Liu Jinglan was really with Lin Fei, although she wouldn't starve to death, but given Lin Fei's situation, it was unlikely that he could provide a good life for his daughter.

  Moreover, his daughter is a PhD holder and no matter what, her social status is higher than Lin Fei's. In the future, with the female being strong and the male being weak, it's likely that there will be trouble at home.

  "Alright, let's just say a few less words for now. Today is mainly to thank Lin Fei for helping us drive instead. As for the matter of matching them up, let's put it aside for now and ask Jing Lan about her thoughts tonight," said Liu Hongbin.

  Mei Mei nodded happily and continued cooking.

  At dinner time, Zhang Chen didn't shout "Xiao Lin" as he did before, and he barely spoke at all. This made Yu Meimei and Liu Hongbin feel a bit strange, thinking that Zhang Chen seemed a bit awkward.

  Lin Fei was devouring his food in big mouthfuls, non-stop saying how delicious it was. Almost half of the food had been swept clean by him alone, and it was hard to believe that his stomach could hold so much.

  Zhang Chen looked at his eating posture, which was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and couldn't help but frown. He felt that elegance and vulgarity were combined in one person, which was really unbelievable.

  Just as they were about to finish eating and clear the bowls and chopsticks, a loud knocking sound came from the entrance.

  The iron gate was slammed shut with great force, and it didn't sound very friendly.

  Liu Hongbin's face turned dark, "What the hell, who died and made you knock so loudly?"

  Lin Fei thought of something and had a few points of annoyance in his eyes.

  "Let's go out and take a look", Lin Fei took the lead in walking towards the door.

  Go into the yard and open the door.

  Outside stood four burly men, wearing black vests, with gloomy faces.

  Lin Fei soon realized that they must be in cahoots with those two guys he ran into last night.

  The big man obviously saw Lin Fei's driving license photo from the camera as well and immediately recognized him.

  "As soon as I saw this taxi here, I knew you little brat was also here. Hmph, did you think you could escape?" the big man sneered.

  "Lin Fei, what's going on? Are they looking for you?" Liu Hongbin's face was serious, he felt that the situation was not good.

  Lin Fei secretly sighed, and indeed last night's incident was captured by the camera. As long as there are connections, it's not hard to find this place.

  Neither coming early nor late, but just when I am here myself.

  "Get out of here, all of you! We're here to teach this kid a lesson. You don't want to get beaten up, so scram as far away as you can!" the big man shouted angrily.

  Liu Hongbin was about to say something when his wife Yu Meimei pulled him over and covered his mouth.

  "Damn it! Don't you want to live?! These few, just one look and you know we can't mess with them. You don't want to live, don't drag my daughter and me down with you!" Yu Meimei glanced at her daughter beside her.

  Liu Hongbin had originally wanted to face those guys together with Lin Fei, and as a former soldier, he knew some self-defense moves, but after hearing his wife's words, he couldn't help but retreat.

  Indeed, if something happened to him, what would his wife and daughter do? He could only look at Lin Fei with a shameful and apologetic expression.

  Zhang Chen sneered on one side, it turned out that this kid had gotten into trouble, it seemed that he could be taught a good lesson.

  Liu Jinglan frowned and stepped forward, saying: "You can't do this, even if there's a dispute, you should resolve it through legal means, what you're doing is against the law."

  "Hey, missy, you look pretty, but don't think you can talk your way out of this. Know when to quit and leave quietly, or else I won't hold back my fists and feet, and it wouldn't be good if that delicate skin of yours gets hurt." The big man eyed Liu Jinglan up and down with a lecherous gaze.

  "Jinglan, this has nothing to do with us, don't go up there and get mistakenly hurt," Zhang Cheng hurriedly went to pull Jinglan's hand, with a worried expression.

  But Liu Jinglan took a step to the side, neatly avoiding Zhang Chen's hand.

  "Senior, let's call the police, these people are too outrageous", Liu Jinglan said seriously.

  "What? Want to call the police? Go ahead! I'm just afraid you won't!" Several big men laughed wildly.

  Lin Fei narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Jinglan for a moment before saying, "Jinglan, no need to call the police, I'll settle this privately with them."

  "Alright, alright, Xiao Lin is a responsible person, Jinglan, don't worry about him," Zhang Cheng hastily advised the woman, fearing that if they called the police, these thugs wouldn't dare to fight.

  Liu Jinglan sighed and looked at Lin Fei with a hint of worry.

  Lin Fei said to those big men: "What do you want?"

  "Hmph," the leader said, "It's simple, you know what you did last night, our two brothers have become vegetables and don't know anything. This morning, the Su family has already spoken, you even hurt their people, you're quite capable of fighting, aren't you?"

  Ma said, "Brothers, how you were bullied is how we'll beat them back. What's more, you ruined our good thing, Ma Shao. Today... let us brothers beat you to your heart's content first, and then make you a fool and consider it settled."

  Lin Fei snorted and walked out of the gate, onto the street, avoiding Liu Hongbin's taxi to avoid damaging the car. He said, "Talking is not as good as fighting, whether you can succeed depends on your skills."

  "You have backbone, I like that. Unfortunately, your backbone can't save you." Da Han smiled calmly and waved his hand, "Brothers, take care of him! Ma Shao will reward you!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, three sturdy men immediately surrounded Lin Fei, wanting to take action against him.

  Lin Fei dodged a punch from one of them and, without saying another word, kicked one of the burly men first.

  "Ouch!"

  That big fellow had just rushed up when he was kicked by Lin Fei and flew backward, just like a steel bullet that had been hit and bounced back, and directly smashed into a roadside tree.

  Lin Fei countered with a backhand, grabbing another incoming fist and using the momentum to pull a burly man from behind him forward. The big man's toes somehow got tangled by Lin Fei, and he flew straight towards the man who had just fallen.
