Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: The Son of a Mouse Will Know How to Dig Holes

For the next half hour, He Zhenzhen stood at the Yue family’s doorway, causing a loud and obnoxious scene.

Insults were hurled one after another.

Lin Chunju, however, remained as immovable as a mountain, pretending she couldn’t hear, engaging not a single bit.

She even urged Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni to hurry up and deliver the meals so the men wouldn’t go hungry.

Looking at the troublemaker at the door with difficulty, Zhang Ying said, “Mom, I’d rather stay with you.”

Lin Chunju snorted lightly, “Don’t worry, can she really overpower me?”

Zhang Ying thought about it and agreed.

Before she had married into the family, she had heard that her mother-in-law was unbeaten in fights within the village.

If anyone dared to bully the children because the Yue family was poor, Lin Chunju would chase after them with a knife.

Zhang Ying, not fully aware of the specifics before, had been quite worried about what her fate after marriage would be.

Having heard this, Wang Xiaoni was completely reassured, “Sister-in-law, let’s just do as mom said and hurry with the meals, they must be getting anxious.”

The two of them bypassed He Zhenzhen and left the house, this indifferent attitude only infuriating her more.

As she endlessly railed on and even the women from the neighboring houses came out to watch the spectacle, Lin Chunju maintained her calm and unconcerned demeanor.

Yue Xiaofang was inside the inner room, rushing to finish some clothes, and finally stuffed some cotton into her ears because of the noise.

Yue Xiaohu was soundly asleep on the bed. This child had always been good at eating and sleeping—he always needed to nap for an hour or two after lunch.

This habit was unshakeable, not even He Zhenzhen’s shouting could wake him.

Yue Qingqing and Yue Xingxing sat outside on little stools, each taking dried apricots from the snack pockets sewn into their tops and popping them in their mouths.

They watched He Zhenzhen for a while as if watching a drama.

He Zhenzhen, her voice hoarse from yelling, finally realized that this method was useless.

Where other families might feel embarrassed, Lin Chunju had long stopped caring about her reputation.

“Let them talk, it’s not as if I am losing any flesh over it.”

Taking a deep breath, He Zhenzhen decided to change tactics.

“Tell me, just how much money will it take to settle this? We can just pay it.”

Lin Chunju finally looked up at her, “Like I said, seeking me out is futile.”

“You!” He Zhenzhen raised her voice and was about to start insulting again, but her throat was already too sore to bear it.

However, she came prepared that day.

He Zhenzhen pushed the young girl standing behind her, “Caidie, go, she’s the reason your dad can’t come home.”

Although He Zhenzhen and Wang Jinshun were average-looking, Wang Caidie was quite cute and seemed rather docile.

She walked a few steps forward, coming close to Lin Chunju.

“Grandma, could you please let my dad go? I miss him, please let him come home.”

Lin Chunju’s fondness for children was well known in the village.

Wang Caidie’s timid words inevitably made Lin Chunju frown.

“Please, let my dad come back. Don’t let the police take him away.”

The girl’s eyes were brimming with tears, and her nose scrunched up, making her look extremely pitiable.

Lin Chunju shook her head, turning to He Zhenzhen, “Take your child and leave. I am telling you for the last time, I cannot handle this matter.”

“Wang Jinshun did wrong, and it’s not up to me to forgive him. It’s for the judge to decide his punishment. But whatever the consequence, it’s his own fault, and creating a scene here for a year would be useless.”

Seeing Lin Chunju’s expression, He Zhenzhen’s heart sank.

Perhaps the Widow Lin was telling the truth.

But this made her hate her even more; if it wasn’t for Lin Chunju calling the police, none of these events would have followed.

“Caidie, let’s go. We won’t beg her.”

Lin Chunju sighed internally, feeling uneasy.

Wang Jinshun was a good-for-nothing, pitying this child.

Yet before she could recover, she saw Wang Caidie dash toward Yue Qingqing and Yue Xingxing.

She reached out with both arms and fiercely pushed; Yue Qingqing dodged but couldn’t grab the girl beside her in time.

Yue Xingxing fell on her backside, and the candy fell from her hands to the ground, picking up dirt and causing her to burst into tears.

Wang Caidie angrily shouted, “It’s all because of your family. If it wasn’t for your family, my dad wouldn’t have been incarcerated, and you’re all bad people! You should all die!”

Lin Chunju watched in shock as Wang Caidie ran out the door, too stunned to react.

Such a small child could change faces so quickly and knew better than to provoke an adult, instead turning to push her own peers.

Is this what they mean by ‘like father, like son’?
