Chapter 231 Mistaken for a Thief
After an incense stick had burned, Lin Hu sat in the warm room, rubbing his belly, feeling completely comfortable.
He looked at Honglan, who had already put down her chopsticks, and asked, "You're only eating this much? Are you full?"
Honglan nodded: "I don't usually eat much, but I'm already quite full."
She was telling the truth; she ate more than usual today. She had never eaten this much before at Yichun Garden.
I don't know if it was because I was cold and hungry all night, but I had a good appetite and ate a lot.
Everyone had eaten their fill, so it was time to find a place to rest. Lin Hu entrusted this task to Liu Tiezhu.
That's the same person who came to open the door earlier, grumbling and cursing.
Liu Tiezhu had actually already made preparations, and it happened while they were eating.
He had them all taken there, but Honglan seemed unwilling to go; she looked at Lin Hu.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You haven't slept all night, go and get some rest."
"The room is all ready, it has everything you need, I promise you won't get cold."
"Brother Lin, that's not what I'm worried about, I'm..."
Honglan wanted to say that she was worried about him, but the words wouldn't come out!
In the end, she didn't say anything and obediently went inside to rest.
Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Tiezhu immediately went over and asked, "Tiger, what exactly happened? They..."
“They all say that the people I brought back will follow me from now on. Find a place to settle them all down.”
"Tiger, finding a place to settle this is no problem, but what about the food and drink for these few people..."
Liu Tiezhu didn't want to ask this question, but he really had to!
At this stage, even their family doesn't have much food left. If they were to add a dozen more mouths to feed, they would be starving.
He himself didn't care, but he had a wife, a son, and a daughter. He couldn't let his wife and children go hungry because of him!
When Liu Tiezhu asked this question, he asked it very cautiously. Lin Hu glanced at him and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I will handle it."
"And how much did you eat today? I'll have someone bring it over for you when the food arrives."
"Tiger Lord, Tiger Lord, that's not what I meant, I just meant..."
"I know that's not what you meant. I'm giving you the food because of what you said. These dozen or so people ate quite a lot today. Aren't you going to save some for your wife and kids?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tiezhu was speechless.
The food they just cooked was indeed from their family's stock, meant for the children and his wife.
Lin Hu brought so many people over, so we have to treat them properly!
Then his wife cooked those things, but Liu Tiezhu didn't expect that Lin Hu would notice them, and not only did he notice them, but he also said he would return them to him.
These words suddenly moved Liu Tiezhu.
After settling everyone in, Lin Hu prepared to return to his residence. As soon as he stepped out the door, Hong Lan followed him.
This time, Honglan didn't hesitate at all. As soon as she came out, she asked, "Brother Lin, can I go with you?"
Lin Hu frowned upon hearing this: "I want to go home. What are you going to do with me?"
He needed to go back to Huajie Lane to pack his things and then return to his hometown village. With the New Year approaching, his parents would definitely cause him trouble if he didn't go back.
When Honglan heard him say he wanted to go home, and even wanted to go home with him, she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.
She knew her own identity, and that being able to follow him was already a blessing; as for anything else, Honglan had never thought about it.
Lin Hu left, and Hong Lan watched him go!
Back in Flower Street, Lin Hu stopped at the door before it was even opened, looking at the door in front of him without pushing it open to go inside.
He sensed that there were people inside, and more than one.
Lin Bao has been away for several days. He has been staying here ever since he returned from the county and has not gone back.
He didn't want to go back; he was unwilling to go back because he knew he would be beaten if he did.
But why should I?
His second brother is missing. It's not like he hasn't looked for him, but what can he do if he really can't find him?
It's not his fault that he can't find it, but when he goes back, all the blame will fall on him. He won't stand for that!
Rather than go back and get beaten, he'd rather hide here for a few days and wait until the day before the New Year to go back and tell his parents that he couldn't find anyone.
Yes, that's right, that's exactly it. Lin Bao had planned out all his escape routes, but the one thing he hadn't expected was that the person he was looking for would come back on his own.
Not only did she come back, but she also beat him up.
"Ouch~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Be gentle, be gentle, Second Brother, be gentle..."
"Don't move. Are you a girl? You have to cry when I apply medicine. You even want me to be gentle. Am I hurting you?"
"Does it hurt? Why don't you try it?" Lin Bao rolled his eyes.
I was inexplicably beaten up early in the morning, and it turned out that the person who beat me was my own brother.
Lin Bao felt he was really unlucky; otherwise, how could he have been beaten by his own brother so soon after moving in?
He couldn't find this person anywhere in the county town, and now he suddenly appears here and beats him up as soon as he shows up. Isn't that just bad luck?
"What are you trying to do? Who told you to live here without my permission? I didn't know someone had moved in, so I assumed they were thieves. You think you can just take a beating or not?"
"Oh~ You actually mistook me for a thief? I'm your... I'm your own brother! How could you mistook me for a thief!"
"Anyone who trespasses on my territory without my permission is a thief to me."
When Lin Hu said this, he was looking at his younger brother, and his eyes clearly said that even his younger brother was the same.
Lin Bao was speechless. Could he just not have this brother anymore?
This person is probably the only one who would mistake his younger brother for a thief. No one else would do such a thing.
After the medicine was applied, Lin Bao felt that his wound was even more painful than before, and he wanted to find a mirror to look at himself.
But no matter which room it was in, there wasn't a single lens!
Seeing him running around aimlessly, Lin Hu called out to him, "What are you looking for in the house?"
"Mirror! Second Brother, don't you ever look in the mirror?"
"I'm not a girl, and I don't need to dress up, so why would I need a mirror?"
These words were spoken so matter-of-factly and confidently that Lin Bao, who was looking for the mirror, had no rebuttal.
Unable to find a mirror, he simply went to the kitchen.
