As soon as Lin Jinrong heard that he had to live with him, he suddenly sobered up and said, "Look at Huang Niangniang today, she's really well-behaved." On the other side, Huang Niangniang was standing behind Tao Shi, smiling and handing her a handkerchief and dishes, being extremely attentive. Tao Shi didn't deliberately pick on her, but just didn't pay much attention to her.

  Lin Jinyan's attention was indeed drawn over, and after glancing a few times, he smiled: "Really? How did you suddenly change your ways?"

  "Sister doesn't know yet?" Lin Jinyong then told Lin Yiyu's story to Lin Jianyin, and also revealed some of the things she had said with Huang Niangniang.

  Lin Jinyan burst out laughing from the heart, intimately pinching her cheek: "Grown up? I was worried that you would be even more weak and timid after this incident. Now it seems to be an unexpected surprise."

  Lin Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he covered it up by saying: "I've been thinking clearly these past few days, always enduring is not going to work, I'm also grown up, I should learn to share mother's worries."

  Lin Jinyan let out a soft sigh: "It's better this way, otherwise I wouldn't be at peace even after leaving the house. Mother's temper is... brave but lacking in wisdom..." She stopped talking here, and began to absent-mindedly scratch at the floral pattern on the ceramic plate in front of her, lost in thought.

  Lin Jinyong saw the atmosphere was dull, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "Sister, have you seen big brother?"

  Lin Jinyan's face turned crimson as she retorted, "He's in the outer courtyard and I'm in the inner courtyard, how would we have met?"

  Lin Jinyong supported his chin and said, "I haven't seen my eldest uncle for a long time. If I tell my mother that I want to take Seventh Brother to see him, she will definitely not stop me. In the past, Eldest Uncle was very good to us, I wonder what fun things he has brought for us this time?" Then glanced at Lin Jinyong. Relatives are getting closer and closer, she wants to ask about the tax office, and needs to rely on Tao Fengtang's place too many times, so this sentence is not entirely teasing Lin Jinyong.

  Lin Jin's slender white teeth lightly bit her rosy lips, and she slightly twisted her body, saying in a bad temper: "If you want to go see it yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

  Lin Jinyong couldn't help but laugh happily as she looked at her sister's awkward and embarrassed expression. In her past life, the person she envied the most was Lin Jinyin, who had a happy and sweet relationship with Tao Fengtang. Her aunt and uncle also treated Lin Jinyin very well, making it truly enviable. This time, would she have the chance to encounter such a good match?

  Before long, Lu Yun walked in from outside. Without waiting for her to sit down, the twins and Lin Wu eagerly asked her: "How was it? Won't Second Brother be punished?"

  Lu Yun forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. My brother has gone out to attend a banquet." She paused for a moment, then continued in a very serious tone that sounded insincere to Lin Jian Rong: "Actually, my mother looks strict but is very lenient and doting on my brother. And my brother treats us well too, I like him the most."

  Their siblings' feelings were good, but as for the relationship between mother and son, and father and son, it's hard to say. They were just going through the motions, each with their own plans. Lin Jianrong turned around to look at Lin Yuzhen, who had already smiled again and was accompanying everyone, but her smile was distracted and her heart was heavy.

  After the longevity banquet, everyone surrounded Old Lady Lin to go watch the opera. The stage was set up by the water's edge, and the place for watching the opera was a two-story building. Downstairs were male guests, upstairs were female guests, lively yet not chaotic.

  Logically, so many guests should not be accommodated, but some guests had something to do or just came to make an appearance, and after the banquet, they bid farewell and left. The remaining ones were all relatives of the Lin family or people with a closer relationship, so the size of the place was quite suitable.

  The actress performing on the stage was the most famous in this area, and as soon as she appeared, she won a full house of applause. Lin Jin had never been interested in this kind of thing, and with his stomach full and his spirit weak, he sat in the corner and watched for a while, his eyes starting to glaze over, only to be slightly more spirited when he saw the undercurrents between Lin Yuzhen and Lu Ertao, suddenly his scalp hurt, all drowsiness disappeared.

  Lin Jinyong angrily covered her head and turned around, only to see Lin Shenzhi standing behind her with a sly smile on his face, still holding a few strands of her hair in his hand.

  Lin Jing Rong dragged him over, scolding: "How did you even think of pulling my hair? Who taught you?"

  Lin Shen pointed to the stairs: "I made a bet with Lu Wuge, if I pulled out one of your hairs, he would give me that cricket." Because he came easily, since childhood has been spoiled and somewhat mischievous, not taking himself seriously for what he did, Lin Jingrong's angry face didn't scare him at all. A sister's hair for a cricket wasn't a big deal anyway.

  Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly rose with a surge of anger, grinding her teeth to ask Lin Shenzhi: "If someone promised you a golden cicada and asked you to cut off one of my fingers, would you agree?" In the past life, Lin Shenzhi was not very promising, even for a female performer, he was instigated by others to steal Lin San's treasured ancient bronze vessel, which made Lin San furious and beat him severely, becoming a laughing stock in the family. Tao Shi was angry, hurt, and humiliated, fell ill for more than half a year, and after that, her temperament became increasingly eccentric and reclusive. This life, she didn't want Lin Shenzhi to become like that again!

  "I..." Lin Shenzhi saw that Lin Jinyong's expression was serious, not at all like he was joking around, and felt a bit uneasy as he looked to Lin Jinyin for help. Lin Jinyin suddenly seeing Lin Jinyong's expression thought she was overreacting, so he pulled on Lin Jinyong's sleeve and said in a low voice: "It's just child's play, scolding him a few times is enough, what's the big deal? On such a happy day, why say such things?"

  Lin Jianrong glanced at the surrounding sisters and relatives who were watching, and pulled Lin Shenzhi out to teach him a lesson. Lin Jianyin saw this and was worried, wanting to follow them out, but thinking about it again, he felt that making such a big fuss would not be good, so he just beckoned to Xiaoyu and Lizhi to hurry up and follow, while he himself sat back down to watch the show.

  Lin Jinrong dragged Lin Shenzhi to the stairs in one breath, pulling him downstairs. Lin Shenzhi saw that things were not going well and opened his mouth to shout for his mother, but Lin Jinrong said viciously: "You dare to call! If you call out, I'll crush your little brother to pieces!"

  Lin Shen's eyes turned red: "Bad Fourth Sister, how dare you!"

  "How dare I not? That's my hair for it, I'll do what I want!" His voice suddenly softened, "But if you listen to me, I'll spare its life."

  Lychee and Spring Bud looked at each other in confusion, wondering what was wrong with Fourth Miss today. She had never seen her like this before, she always had a gentle and quiet demeanor. Had that one fright changed her personality?

  But Lin Shenzhi's eyes quickly welled up with tears, and he looked at Lin Jinyong pitifully, saying "Fourth sister, I was wrong."

  He was originally born with a delicate and beautiful appearance, with a pair of eyes that were both black and moist, looking incredibly cute and pitiful. Lin Jin Rong's heart softened, and he almost wanted to reach out and touch his head, but his hand stretched out and then firmly withdrew, saying lightly: "You'd better tell me, what did you do wrong?"

  Lin Shenzhi pouted with a small pink mouth, unable to say anything, and had no choice but to follow Lin Jinyong downstairs obediently, softly pleading: "Fourth sister, can I give you that cicada to play with?"

  Lin Jinyong didn't say it was good or bad, but his movements became much gentler. Seventh brother was still a child who didn't understand anything, so she took the opportunity to slowly teach him these principles while there was still time.

  Lychee and Spring Buds also saw the situation, so they didn't make a sound to stop them, but instead followed the two siblings downstairs without mentioning it.

  As soon as she came down the stairs, Lu Xun suddenly poked his head out from one side, with a flattering smile on his shiny and chubby face: "Fourth sister, you've finally come down."

  Lin Jinyong glared at him, not even bothering to respond, and instead pulled Lin Shenzhi aside into the nearby bamboo forest. Lowering his voice, he said: "A gentleman acquires wealth in a proper manner. If you want the cicada, there are many ways to obtain it. You can either bring someone along to catch it or simply ask any of us, and it's yours for the taking. Why must you resort to such means?"

  Since Lin Shen seemed to be puzzled and didn't quite agree, he raised his hand and pulled out one of his hairs, muttering: "Does it hurt?"

  Lin Shen immediately covered his scalp and said, "It hurts. But it's not a big deal, just a few strands of hair. I've already admitted my mistake, what else do you want? You're not hurting me anymore!" Then he looked up to see Lu Yun hiding behind Lin Jianrong, making faces at him.

  "Alright, just a hair, it doesn't hurt." Lin Jingrong pulled his hand and gestured: "What if it's a finger? A hand? Or a foot, or even a head?" Her voice grew higher and more severe, "Today it's just a cicada, but what's fun and moving in this world is not just one cicada?! If your body is not upright, your heart is not upright, your behavior is not upright, accumulating day by day will lead you to take the wrong path. How can people look up to you?!"

  Lu Xun listened and felt as if he was being scolded, couldn't bear it anymore, coughed and walked out saying: "Alright, it's all my fault, you can blame me if you want. I just wanted to play a joke on you, wanted to call you downstairs to have some fun. Looking at your fierce expression, tsk, getting sick has really changed you..."

  Lin Jinyong looked at him seriously and said: "Lu Wuge, it has nothing to do with you. I am teaching my seventh brother the way of being a human."

  Lu Xun's face turned red as he said, "He's still young, and it's just a single hair. If you want to vent your anger, come and pull my hair instead." As he spoke, he actually tilted his head towards Lin Zhenrong.

  Lin Jinyong took a step back and said, "I'm not doing it for my hair, but because he's still young and doesn't understand many things. If I'm not careful, he might go astray, so I want to teach him the ways of being human."

  "Making a big deal out of nothing, how did it come to this?" Lu Xun said boredly, rubbing his head: "I feel like I don't even recognize you anymore. You used to be fun, even if you were prone to crying, but now you just spout useless grandiose nonsense, it's really boring."

  "Second Brother Lu, Fourth Sister is right. A gentleman has things he will and won't do; don't refrain from doing good just because it's small, and don't do evil just because it's minor. This principle should be taught to Seventh Brother since young." Wu Xiang chuckled and walked over with Lu Xian, Lu Jing, and Lin Yiyi.
