CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 605: DISHEARTENED

Update one.

Yesterday I got home at three in the morning, felt like a dead dog from exhaustion, and my head was spinning this morning, which is why I’m updating now. Please understand.

-----------------

Lin Wenhang, caught off guard, couldn’t dodge Lin Wenbin’s fist, and got hit solidly. Blood instantly trickled down from the corner of his mouth...

Zhou Mikang quickly stepped forward to separate them, while Chuxia quietly glanced over at the elders, only to find that aside from Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, no one was even looking their way!

This is so odd!

Have the two brothers been causing such a ruckus that the elders are used to it, or do they hold a neutral stance on the brothers’ skirmishes, letting them resolve it on their own?

But during the New Year celebrations, is causing such a scene really a good idea?

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan were also quite anxious, not knowing why the brothers were fighting, but based on the timing, it had to be related to them, or perhaps their daughter!

Grandpa Lin smiled at the two: "Yulan, Baohe, don’t worry about them. Those two have loved to scrap like this since they were kids. Just let them be; once they’re both married, it’ll be fine."

"Oh, oh..." Although they responded and turned back, they felt uneasy inside. However, they couldn’t disrespect Old Master Lin by going over to their daughter, so they could only uncomfortably engage in small talk with Great-grandfather, Grandpa Lin, and Granny Lin.

Meanwhile, Lin Wenbin, who had been hit, cursed a bit and seemed to cool down significantly. Lin Wenhang had also wiped the blood from his lip and said to Lin Wenbin with a wry smile, "Did you embarrass me in front of our sister and brother-in-law on purpose over our sister? Big brother, I really admire you; why are you acting like a child?"

"Say one more word, and I’ll beat you to death!" Lin Wenbin’s temper was successfully triggered by Lin Wenhang again. Seeing that they were about to fight again, Zhou Mikang frowned, "Just who are you putting on this show for? If you find us annoying, just say it outright!"

Lin Wenbin quickly swapped his angry face for a smile, looking at him ingratiatingly, "Brother-in-law, come on, Wenhang and I have enjoyed squabbling like this since we were kids. Every time we’re together, if we don’t have a spat, we actually feel uncomfortable. But if anyone else tries to bully one of us, we’re always ready to roll up our sleeves and help each other."

"You say you usually get along like this, but how were we supposed to know that?" Zhou Mikang glared at him, full of discontent, "We haven’t even had a couple of drinks yet, and you two brothers managed to beat each other bloody. How are we supposed to stay here?"

"Brother-in-law, sorry, sorry, it was my mistake. I always like to talk back and hit him where it hurts when my big brother scolds me. It’s a habit, I didn’t think too much about it. Please, don’t get mad." Lin Wenhang spoke while reaching out to throw an arm around Lin Wenbin, who, after a brief struggle, let him do so and shook cheerfully.

Chuxia had been quietly observing their expressions. She didn’t believe Lin Wenbin and Lin Wenhang’s explanation. Both of them were nearly thirty, and given their upbringing, there’s no way they could be so inconsiderate.

Even if it weren’t the New Year, just any ordinary day, with guests at home, it’s not like them to start fighting within five minutes. No matter how they explain it, anyone would find it unbelievable. They’re not three to five-year-olds.

Zhou Mikang glanced at the two lightly, not speaking. Clearly, he didn’t believe either, but he was too lazy to confront them, so he chose to stay silent in response.

At this time, the other two young members of the Zhou family, Lin Wenjie and Lin Wenxiu, came over. They weren’t much older than Chuxia and were at that shy and reserved age. Last time Chuxia visited, they only greeted her with a smile and said nothing else.

Lin Wenjie is Lin Wenbin’s brother, and Lin Wenxiu is Lin Wenhang’s brother. But in terms of closeness, they seem more like blood brothers themselves, so they didn’t approach earlier when their two brothers were fighting.

Had it not been for Grandpa Lin’s glance, the two young brothers wouldn’t have bothered to get involved.

"Hello, our two brothers are just like that; if they don’t fight every day, they start itching."

"Exactly, exactly, that’s just how they’ve always been."

Although they were slightly older than Chuxia, they were too embarrassed to call Zhou Mikang ’brother-in-law,’ so they simply refrained from any address.

"Alright, stop pretending." Lin Wenbin waved his hand, "Zhou Mikang and Chuxia are not fools. If they believe this, then it’s a miracle. It’s just the New Year, and they’ve only just arrived and already this mess. Unless Lin Wenhang and I are insane.
