Chapter 300: Chapter 294 A Kind of Madness_1

No matter what, it was inevitable to meet Zhao Quan at the old Zhao Family house in the next few days. Still, Zhao Quan really had a strong psychological quality—he didn’t show any guilt or embarrassment when he saw Lin Yue after that shameful incident, acting as if nothing happened. Lin Yue became even more wary of Zhao Quan because of this, but it was Chunxi who always dodged her gaze when she saw her, doing her best to avoid Lin Yue or spy on her from unseen places. That was the behavior of a guilty thief.

Lin Yue naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to assure them that she wouldn’t speak of their secret. It wasn’t she who had done wrong—let them be anxious and feel guilty for a few more days, that would serve them right. To think they dared to do such absurd things, their psychological quality and capacity for acceptance were truly strong. Tsk, tsk. Chunxi really dared to have an affair.

Chunxi, with her twisted mindset, always assumed the worst in people. Sometimes, when she encountered Lin Yue and saw her smiling inscrutably, Chunxi grew even more worried, thinking Lin Yue was scheming to calculate against her, afraid that Lin Yue would speak of her scandalous deed. She constantly thought of ways to ensure Lin Yue kept silent.

"Yueyue, wait for me, I have something to talk to you about." Chunxi had followed Lin Yue for a while and finally mustered the courage to call out to her when Lin Yue was nearly home. It was not easy for her to speak to this hypocritical woman in such a calm tone. In the past, she proclaimed she would treat her well and help her, but how did that turn out? All turned out to be empty promises.

"What is it? Speak!" Lin Yue saw that Chunxi couldn’t hold back and had sought her out.

Chunxi looked around; though there was no one else, she still felt uneasy standing in the middle of the road. "Yueyue, can we find a more private place? Some things are not convenient to say here."

Lin Yue thought to herself, they had already done such a shameless deed, and yet they wanted to talk in a hidden place, sneaking around as if they had something to hide. Who knew what Chunxi was plotting? Lin Yue dared not follow her blindly. Chunxi was a venomous thinker—what if something were to happen in a secluded place? If Chunxi harmed her, nobody would know.

"There’s no one around here, just say whatever you have to say."

"Here? It’s not very appropriate! Can’t we find a quieter place to talk properly, Yueyue? I know I did something wrong, but I regret it now, and I’ve changed. Isn’t that enough? Let’s still be good sisters in the future."

"I don’t dare accept such a backstabbing sister. I don’t have time to argue with you. If you don’t want to speak, then forget it," said Lin Yue as she lifted her foot to leave.

"Hey, Yueyue, wait, I’ll speak! It’s about that incident you saw yesterday. Could you please not mention it to anyone? Otherwise, I’m ruined. I’m begging you."

"Why are you begging me? I don’t know what you did yesterday. But in the future, if you’re going to do something filthy, find a more suitable place for it, so you don’t dirty other people’s eyes," Lin Yue said as Zhao Erhu had already come looking for her.

After the incident yesterday, Zhao Erhu didn’t feel comfortable letting Lin Yue go back alone and insisted on accompanying her. However, Lin Yue had left first, chasing after her in a hurry, only to find Chunxi pestering his wife. Zhao Erhu’s expression turned sour in an instant, especially since his little wife nearly suffered at the hands of Zhao Quan and this woman yesterday.

"You shameless woman, get lost! If I catch you bothering my wife again, you’ll be sorry!" Zhao Erhu approached with a protective stance, pulling Lin Yue behind him.

"Brother Erhu, it’s not what you think, please don’t misunderstand..." Chunxi looked at Zhao Erhu with a pitiful and grievous expression, attempting to appear innocent.

Lin Yue didn’t want to deal with the disgust anymore and hastily dragged Zhao Erhu away, "Zhao Erhu, there’s nothing to talk about with that kind of woman. Let’s go."

Watching Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue walk away hand in hand, Chunxi could barely conceal her resentment. That vile Lin Family woman must have told him about yesterday’s incident; otherwise, why would Zhao Erhu talk to her like that? Already displeased with her because of that wretched Lin Yue, he would surely look down on her even more now.

"Lin Family, I, Chunxi, will never let you off! It’s all your fault, all because of you!" Chunxi’s fear of her scandal being exposed, along with her worries, morphed into deep-seated anger towards Lin Yue, her eyes reflecting a hint of madness.

Zhao Erhu, holding Lin Yue’s hand, spoke with a slightly reprimanding tone, clearly worried, "Wife, didn’t I tell you to keep away from the likes of Chunxi? That woman has wicked intentions and harbors ill will towards you. Why did you even bother with her?"

Lin Yue rolled her eyes, "It’s not like I wanted to bother with her. You know how thick-skinned that woman is. She came to me herself, begging me not to disclose the disgraceful things she’s done."

"Why didn’t you wait for me? Didn’t I say not to go anywhere alone these days? To let me accompany you wherever you need to go? And here you went off without a word, making me worry on purpose."

"It’s just that I saw you were busy. I thought you heard me when I told you. Besides, I was just going home, not to some remote place. They wouldn’t dare to be so bold. I don’t think there’s a need to worry that much. Zhao Quan knows about it all. If he tried anything against me now, he would only be exposing his own shameful deeds. He wouldn’t be that foolish. And as for Chunxi, that woman with the illogical thought processes, I don’t even consider her a concern. Both Zhao Lan and Zhao Yunxiang could only come to a draw with me despite their physique, so that little twig Chunxi is definitely no match for me."

Lin Yue noticed the displeasure and disapproval on Zhao Erhu’s face and conceded, "Alright, next time I’ll definitely go with you and won’t go off on my own, okay?"

"That’s more like it." Zhao Erhu, hearing Lin Yue agree, rubbed his little wife’s head in satisfaction.

When they got home, Dalang and the others, who were now sensible, had already cooked the rice and picked the vegetables. All Lin Yue needed to do was stir-fry them. Except for the beginning and the funeral days, the children didn’t have to stay at the old house all the time; an occasional visit was enough. Lin Yue told the kids to stay home and not to run around aimlessly—being seen would not be good. Dalang and the rest listened to Lin Yue and stayed at home obediently, knowing that Zhao Jingen’s funeral would take place the day after tomorrow.

"Erhu’s wife, Erhu’s wife! Your third son was playing on the back mountain and fell down the slope. Not sure how badly he’s hurt. You better hurry and check on him!" Lin Yue was in the kitchen plucking vegetables with others when she heard someone shouting outside. Upon hearing that her third son got into an accident, her complexion changed. She immediately dropped what she was doing, had someone notify Zhao Erhu, and rushed toward the back mountain.
