Chapter 2283 The Benefits of Being Strong
eleven o'clock at night
Zhou Xiaobai and the others couldn't hold on any longer! None of them had the energy to do anything else, so they all obediently prepared to go to sleep.
In any case, I've now become part of the Siheyuan community, so I won't have to worry about not having the chance to come back in the future.
"Go to sleep! You have to get up early for class tomorrow. Lin Chen will be fine. Don't worry about him. Maybe he's still talking to someone."
Li Wenya has a herbal pill called Yangyuan Pill, which she takes every morning and keeps her energized all day. But Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei don't have that kind of good stuff, since they're not yet part of the Lin family.
"Can you hear any noise next door? Maybe Brother Lin Chen is back!"
Hao Dongmei's words revitalized Zhou Xiaobai, whose eyes were already sore.
The three of them held their breath and listened carefully, trying to see if it was Brother Lin Chen who had returned!
Soon they heard the noise getting louder and louder, and now they were sure that Brother Lin Chen had returned!
"It's good to be back. It's almost eleven o'clock now! Time for bed..."
"I'm finally back safe and sound! It's not so peaceful in Beijing at night these days; I heard there are still a lot of enemy agents lurking there!"
"What's there to be afraid of enemy agents? Brother Lin Chen can take on ten of them."
The three girls finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Xiaobai raised his hand and punched the brick wall twice as a greeting, and soon received a response from Lin Chen.
They were so frightened that they covered their heads and chuckled, saying, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Now that Lin Chen has returned safely, they can finally sleep peacefully. The little girl's nature is on full display... If it were Liao Yimei and the others, they would act the same way.
Lin Chen ran back during the halftime break to reassure them, as he had to return for the final battle soon.
Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei are far from being completely open with each other, so Lin Chen has no intention of staying to tease them.
However, with Li Wenya leading the way, the roundup is probably not far off!
……
Sweet dreams
A new day is about to begin.
It was not even seven o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei got off the kang (a heated brick bed) early to wash up, because Li Wenya told them that Brother Lin Chen would get up early every morning to exercise.
Through the crack in the door, they indeed saw people exercising in the courtyard...
"Brother Lin Chen is amazing! How heavy is that rock!"
Seeing that they didn't understand anything, Li Wenya cautiously approached the crack in the door to explain.
"That's called a stone lock. It's for training arm strength. One of them weighs 200 jin (100 kg). Two of them weigh 400 jin (200 kg), which means Brother Lin Chen can lift all three of us at once without any effort."
Li Wenya is the most qualified to speak on this matter, after all, she has studied how to swing high on a swing.
Humans admire the strong, especially females, and in nature, the strong also have more mating rights.
Now, watching Lin Chen practice weightlifting, the two girls are lost in thought again...
"Let's go say hello."
Zhou Xiaobai pulled Hao Dongmei out the door, while Li Wenya went to cook porridge and eggs.
After hearing the door behind him open, Lin Chen first put down the stone lock in his hand, turned around and smiled.
"You're up so early? How's it going? We're living in our courtyard house, aren't we?"
"Good morning, Brother Lin Chen! You came back so late last night, why didn't you get some more sleep?"
Lin Chen deliberately looked around before lowering his voice.
"Don't you all stay up very late? Don't think I don't know who knocked on the wall. If you misbehave again, I'll come and deal with you."
Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei exchanged a smile; they didn't take it seriously at all. Go ahead and scare the kids! We don't believe you dare come any closer.
"Afraid of you? We'll lock the door tight, no matter how strong you are, you won't dare kick it down!"
"That's right, stop trying to scare us. If you dare to act like a hooligan, I'll tell my mom..."
Lin Chen deliberately looked the two girls up and down before sighing and shaking his head. His expression suggested disappointment…
"That scoundrel would be interested in... Never mind, I'm going to change my clothes and wash up."
At this moment, Hao Dongmei and the others looked down at themselves and realized that they were indeed too flat!
"Wait, wait, what's with that expression? We're just young, not malnourished. Don't look down on us. We have everything we need... we're all normal."
As Zhou Xiaobai spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest.
"Then we can play around when we're old enough. People are coming from the front yard, hurry back to eat and get ready for school."
Hao Dongmei was so frightened that she pulled Zhou Xiaobai back, but in her heart she was thinking that Brother Lin Chen was too improper! She dared not let him examine her body... what a pervert!
Just as the two little girls ran home, Liao Shaoji hurried over.
This kid splashed Jia Zhangshi with her foot bath water, and he really couldn't argue with him. Now he could only ask Uncle Lin, whom Jia Zhangshi feared the most, to mediate, otherwise Jia Zhangshi would definitely cause him trouble again when she woke up.
Good morning, Uncle Lin!
"Good morning, Yu Cheng! What brings you here so early?"
Liao Shaoji recounted how he hadn't intentionally splashed Jia Zhangshi's water the previous night.
"Uncle Lin, I really didn't mean it. I was just afraid that the Jia Zhang couple would cause me trouble!"
Everyone in the courtyard knows who Jia Zhangshi is. She's notoriously difficult to deal with; if you cross her, she'll definitely keep bothering you to the bitter end.
"You've already apologized! What else does she want? Go back now, I'll talk to Qiangzi later. We're all old neighbors. Let's be forgiving!"
Liao Shaoji knew that finding an old man like him was the right thing to do; otherwise, no one could control Jia Zhangshi.
"Hey, thank you, Uncle Lin!"
Lin Chen preferred the title of "Old Man of the Courtyard" to the position of Party Secretary of the steel rolling mill.
Dealing with these people is really interesting! They're all incredibly talented, and you actually managed to splash Jia Zhangshi with a bucket of cold water.
Haven't you heard the saying, "You can run from the first day of the month, but you can't run from the fifteenth"? The more you suppress her now, the stronger her resentment will become. And the more violently it will erupt in the future...
Just as Lin Chen had expected, after being suppressed, Jia Zhangshi was already cursing Liao Shaoji's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Now the woman believes that Liao Yucheng deliberately splashed her with foot bath water as revenge.
"My goodness! I'm not finished with you guys. I'm giving Brother Lin face today. We'll see how things go next time. I'll splash you next time too. I also said it wasn't intentional..."
……
early summer
Rolling mill
The radio station started playing the song "We Workers Have Strength" early in the morning, and now that everyone has survived the harsh winter, joy is on everyone's face.
Today is the day Qiao Yicheng departs to study abroad, and the entire Qiao family has come to see their eldest brother off.
Steel rolling mill gate
Secretary Wan and Lin Chen gave the young men from the steel rolling mill some more encouragement. Amid cheers from the crowd, the international students said goodbye to their families and boarded the trucks heading to the train station in an orderly fashion.
Since Qiao Buwang is still lying at home, only the old man from the Qiao family has not come to see his son off.
Qiao Yicheng hadn't visited his good-for-nothing father these past few days; it didn't matter whether he saw him or not. The two of them didn't have much to say to each other...
Sanli and Simei came to see their eldest brother off. Qiao Yicheng knew that with Lin Chen's help, his two younger sisters wouldn't be bullied. So he left with peace of mind...
