C13 Still to Live

Xia Yu pulled Xia Qingyun along and went straight down the mountain, ignoring Aunt Lin's obstruction.

The siblings were young, so it was naturally much easier for them to come down from the mountain. Aunt Lin was left behind.

Xia Yu ran home with Xia Qingyun. Halfway home, Xia Qingyun stopped: "Sis, is this really okay? I have a feeling that Aunt Lin won't let it go so easily. Why don't we tell Dad?"

" Of course she won't let it go so easily, but we can't let Dad talk to this kind of annoying woman. You know Dad's teacher's personality. He will be tamed in a few moments. Let Uncle Lin say it. Two men are easier to talk to. "

After Xia Qingyun heard this, she felt that it made sense. "Then I'll listen to sister..."

The siblings didn't say anything when they returned home. They just waited for the Lin family to come knocking on their door.

However, after waiting for the entire night, they didn't see a single person from the Lin family.

There was no way that Lin Ning would fall out with the Xia family. He wanted prestige, and everyone in the village knew about the past relationship between the Xia family and the Lin family. Xia Yu could still remember someone once saying that the Xia family was indebted to the Lin family.

If the Lin family broke up with the Xia family because of this, then those in the village who had nothing better to do would start gossiping again.

Aunt Lin was just a paper tiger, but who would have thought that although she didn't come to cause trouble for them during the day, she came when the sun was about to set?

Besides Aunt Lin, there were also Lin Ning and Lin Chengcan.

After not seeing Lin Chengcan for a day, he looked a lot more haggard. His eyes were dark. He probably did not sleep well last night.

Xia Yu looked away without batting an eyelid. She did not want to look at her family again.

The Xia family had just finished eating and needed to rest.

When Xia Changping saw them, he immediately went up to greet them politely, "What a rare guest, why are you guys here?"

Lin Ning was fine, but Aunt Lin's eyes were rolling up to the sky.

"I wanted to talk about the matter between our Chengcan and your family."

Today, Xia Changping was quite enlightened. After hearing Lin Ning's words, he immediately thought of what had happened before, "Are you talking about your family's Chengcan teaching our family's Qingyun?"

Lin Ning nodded his head. "That's right. I was going to say it's nothing, but after all, Chengcan is preparing to go to the provincial examination now. We really can't waste any more time."

When he said this, Xia Changping knew why they had come today: "Don't worry, in fact, I've been helping Qingyun find a husband and won't hold up your Chengcan for too long. If you think we can't waste even a quarter of an hour, then I'll tell Qingyun to put this matter aside for now."

This was exactly what Lin Ning wanted to hear. He was relatively easy to talk to, "I'm really sorry. If I can help, I'm actually very willing to help."

"That doesn't matter. Each of us has our own difficulties, and I also hope that your Chengcan will be able to make a name for himself in the future."

In all the villages in the surrounding area, any Elementary Scholar from any one of them would be able to be proud for a long time. It would be amazing if they could get into the top ten.

Aunt Lin interrupted, "In any case, let's make things clear here today. Since we promised not to disturb our Chengcan, we shouldn't interfere in the future."

"Don't worry about that. I won't disturb you again." When Xia Changping said this, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

Xia Yu could see all this, but she did not feel good about it.

They were not the ones who begged Lin Chengcan in the first place. It was Lin Chengcan who came looking for them.

Xia Yu could usually let it go, but today, she absolutely could not hold back her anger. "Uncle Lin, I don't think you need to come to our house to talk about this. Just take care of your son. If he says he doesn't want to help, it's impossible for him to find him. It's obvious that he's the one who came looking for trouble. "

"If I want to do something, I won't do it myself. You must have said something to him. He has always been kind. That's why he can't refuse you."

That was hilarious. It was the fault of others. His family didn't make any mistakes.

"Then ask Lin Chengcan if he was willing or if I forced him!"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, she glared at Lin Chengcan. During this time, Lin Chengcan did not say a word. He did not even defend Xia Yu, which made Xia Yu feel that he was very weak.

"You don't want to admit it, girl!" Aunt Lin pushed Lin Chengcan forward and pointed at Xia Yu. "Tell me, did you do this willingly, or did they force you?"

From the looks in their eyes, Xia Yu could see something else.

It seemed that Lin Chengcan had been instigated by his mother quite a bit since his return, because he had no reason to hide it.

As long as he said that he was willing, Aunt Lin would at most say a few words to him. After all, there was only one son in the family. Did he really want to make things difficult for his own son?

After Aunt Lin glared at Lin Chengcan, Xia Yu also turned to look at him.

Her eyes were filled with hostility. She was telling Lin Chengcan that he had better tell the truth. Otherwise, she would not be so polite!

When Lin Chengcan saw her eyes, he was shocked for no reason. He never expected Xia Yu to have such a fierce side to her.

He lowered his head and did not say anything for a long time.

Xia Changping and Shen Yao looked at each other in dismay. In the end, Xia Changping opened his mouth and said, "Child, just tell the truth. If our Yu really made things difficult for you, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

At this very moment, Xia Yu felt that she had no chance of winning. After all, Lin Chengcan did not really like her.

But Lin Chengcan did not say what Xia Yu thought he would say. Instead, he said, "Xia Yu did not force me. I did it of my own free will."

Aunt Lin's eyes widened in disbelief. She probably didn't expect Lin Chengcan to say something else at this time. "What nonsense are you talking about? That's not what you told me before."

Lin Chengcan looked at her helplessly. "Mom, I've told you that from the very beginning. Don't expect me to change my mind."

These words almost made Aunt Lin die of anger. It was equivalent to exposing Aunt Lin's intentions.

In this way, the side that originally made sense became unreasonable.

When Lin Ning heard Lin Chengcan's words, he also thought that he had figured out what was going on. "You guys... really make me worry!"

However, Lin Chengcan did not let Lin Ning blame Aunt Lin. Instead, he continued, "This has nothing to do with my mother either. It was my fault for not explaining it to him clearly. It was all my fault."

Xia Yu now had a whole new level of respect for Lin Chengcan. He was quite a responsible man.

At first, she wanted to kick up a fuss with them, but after seeing Lin Chengcan's way of doing things, she didn't want to make things difficult for them anymore.

Xia Yu did not say anything else. Lin Chengcan turned to look at her and then gave her a deep bow. "I have let you down in this matter. I sought you out to help me, but in the end, I was the one who went back on my word."

Lin Chengcan's actions made Xia Yu the one who had been wronged.

He did indeed mean to apologize. Naturally, Xia Yu could see this and did not want to make things too difficult for him. "It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own difficulties. Just make it clear. I won't make things difficult for you as long as you don't make things difficult for me."

Lin Chengcan handled this matter well and did not let Lin Ning interfere.

Xia Changping did not say anything at the side, and only at the end did he say, "This is all the children's own thoughts. It's fine if you say it out loud, but let's not worry about it."
