Lin Youxi followed Mei Fang into the house. At this time, Lin Youxi's uncle You Xiaobing was hurried downstairs with a stack of documents in his hand.
Mei Fang strode forward and grabbed You Xiaobing tightly, while Lin Youxi held up his mobile phone to record the scene.
You Xiaobing is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old this year, tall and thin like a long bamboo pole, but in front of the hot-blooded Mei Bian, he has almost no room to struggle and can't run away at all.
"Hey, hey... Lin Youxi, where did you find this wild man? Are you two crazy? Get out of here!"
You Xiaobing came up and kicked Mei Fang directly, but Mei Fang predicted his position in advance and moved aside, almost causing You Xiaobing to slip.
Mei Fang also took the opportunity to grab You Xiaobing's wrist and pressed him under the sofa.
After the sports meet, Mei Fang has always had the habit of taking time out to exercise, and he has also memorized some self-defense techniques.
"You Xiaobing, you are now breaking into a private residence and committing burglary. You will be sentenced to at least three years in prison. The police will be here soon."
Lin Youxi paused, then continued filming You Xiaobing, "You also injured my family members. You may be convicted of intentional injury. Just wait!"
"What do you mean by trespassing? It's clearly written on the land certificate that this is the land that has been passed down from generation to generation in our You family. When did it become your Lin's territory?"
You Xiaobing yelled at Lin Youxi, "You little bastard, you are so arrogant just because you read a little more books. How dare you greet your uncle like this!"
"Then don't treat me as your uncle. I never treated you as one anyway."
"You have always been the cancer of my family. Every time you come here, you ask my dad for money... If you had any sense of shame, you would not do such a thing today."
"Get lost! Your father owed me that! Wait for him to come and ask him yourself! He swore solemnly in front of your mother's grave—"
"Don't mention my mom! You don't deserve it!"
Lin Youxi's sudden roar scared You Xiaobing so much that even Mei Fang was a little surprised.
Youxi's mother has always been an extremely sacred existence to Lin Youxi, and was also Lin Youxi's only spiritual sustenance in the early days.
Whenever she encountered sad things and had no way to confide in Xia Yuanmei, she would always go to her mother's grave to tell her story.
But, a mother like that actually has such a scoundrel brother.
For Lin Youxi, this has always been a very uncomfortable problem.
It's not that she couldn't understand her father's tolerance, it was just that this tolerance came from the guilt of not being able to protect his deceased wife.
But, everything has an end.
Just when You Xiaobing was muttering to Lin Youxi and Mei Fang about how he had someone above him, Mei Fang's father Mei Lijun and the JCs arrived almost at the same time.
The sound of the sirens attracted the attention of the neighbors. Mei Lijun and the police officers went into the house and were relieved to see that Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were safe and sound.
The JCs asked Mei Fang to let go of You Xiaobing, and then listened to what happened from Lin Youxi and You Xiaobing.
After understanding the whole story, one of the older JCs began to persuade and mediate:
"When I heard you report that someone broke into someone's house, I thought it was just some other incident. We're all family, and it's New Year's Day, why are you making such a big fuss? It'll be embarrassing for the neighbors..."
Faced with such a dispute, the county's police chief clearly intended to smooth things over.
But Lin Youxi obviously doesn't think so.
"Uncle, I hope you can understand what I mean."
"But isn't he your uncle? The thunder god in the sky is more powerful than your uncle on earth. Don't make a fuss like this. It's not good. Is your mother at home? Why didn't I see her come out?"
"Well, comrade, can I have a word with you?"
Mei Lijun came here in a hurry by taxi. His hair was messy in the wind and he looked a little disheveled, but he still patiently told the JCs about Lin Youxi's situation.
The old police officer continued, "This is the situation, but it's too unclear to explain this kind of thing... One has the land certificate, and the other has the property certificate. I don't think it's considered trespassing if he comes back here, right?"
"Hey, comrade, if you don't understand something, don't talk nonsense, okay?"
Mei Lijun frowned and said, "You are not from the Housing Bureau of the Land Bureau. If you don't understand the principle that housing rights are greater than land rights, don't blindly explain it to the masses."
"Hey, comrade, you speak like an old cadre. Do I need you to teach me whether I understand or not? You are not the owner of this house..."
As soon as Lao JC finished speaking, a noisy sound came from outside the house. Several middle-aged men strode up to Meilijun and smiled at him:
"Oh my, Director Mei, what happened? Why did you bother taking a taxi all the way here?"
"My son's friend had a problem at his house. I came to check on him. It's nothing serious."
Baimei County is a small county, and the old police officer recognized at a glance that several of the people in the group were small cadres in the county.
Seeing their attitude and address to Meilijun, he was shocked on the spot, "For the follow-up work, let's wait for the owner to come and take a look..."
The other little JC who was controlling You Xiaobing didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and asked Mei Fang in a low voice:
"Is this man your father?"
"Yeah." Mei Fang nodded: "My father is Mei Lijun, but it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of him. He's not very famous anyway."
In the process of understanding the situation of the dispute, several key figures returned to the small courtyard one after another, including Xia Yuan and Liang Meijuan, who had simply treated her wounds; and the protagonist Lin Guochuan was the last one to come back.
He had probably understood the whole story from the phone call on the way, and although he was already very angry, he managed to remain calm and not flare up.
After returning home, he saw his warm little home in a mess, his wife Liang Meijuan bleeding and injured, and his baby daughter Lin Youxi snuggling beside Mei Fang rubbing her red eyes. Lin Guochuan, who had always been gentle and taciturn, finally exploded his emotions this time.
Mei Fang, who could have held on, didn't pull it seriously.
This time, Lin Guochuan was finally annoyed by You Xiaobing's repeated troubles. After obtaining the recordings and video footage of Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, Lin Guochuan decided to follow his daughter's advice and prepare to play GS with You Xiaobing in the name of trespassing.
At this time, You Xiaobing, who had always been arrogant in front of the Lin family, finally became scared this time. He kept pulling Lin Guochuan to ask for forgiveness, saying that they were relatives after all and they shouldn't take it to that extent.
Lin Guochuan, who was always kind and easy to talk to, did not respond this time, his face was very gloomy.
"I asked the people around you today."
"You lied to us about asking for a gift for marriage, didn't you?"
"You just owe a lot of money from gambling outside, and you cheated me to pay off your debts."
"Brother-in-law, don't be like this, Brother-in-law... Hey... Just hit me, hit me, hit me however you want! Don't send me in there! We are all family, right..."
You Xiaobing slapped himself in the face while desperately pulling Lin Guochuan's hand. No matter how hard he begged, Lin Guochuan did not waver.
Seeing that the situation had reached an irreversible point, You Xiaobing finally revealed his usual ferocious attitude.
"Lin Guochuan, you have a conscience that has been eaten by dogs! My sister was so blind to marry a bastard like you! She has suffered so much with you, and she has never enjoyed a single day of happiness! You treat her brother like this now, I wonder how you will face it when you die—"
You Xiaobing was happily awarded a pair of silver bracelets, but was put into the police car cursing.
There were a lot of things to deal with next, and everyone was busy helping to clean up the mess in Lin Youxi's house.
During this time, Lin Youxi also went to check on Liang Meijuan's injuries as soon as possible.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore... It's just a minor scratch. You and Mei Fang were blocking the wandering soldiers just now, right? Are you... okay?"
"I'm fine."
"You still say it's okay? You have a cut here, too. Let me wipe it for you..."
"I'm fine... I'm really fine..."
Liang Meijuan carefully applied iodine to disinfect Lin Youxi's abrasions. Lin Youxi stared at Liang Meijuan's face. The scene of her standing up to protect her just now, as well as the little things they had spent together before, made Lin Youxi feel mixed emotions for a moment.
She patted Liang Meijuan's shoulders gently and massaged them a few times.
"It's ok... Mom."
Liang Meijuan didn't react to Lin Youxi's change of address at first. Later, she looked up at Lin Youxi in a daze. She was looking at her with a smile.
"I… "
Liang Meijuan loves children very much and she has always wanted a child. Therefore, when taking care of Lin Youxi, she always treated her as her own child and doted on her.
She didn't mind that Lin Youxi always called her aunt, because she knew that Youxi was a sentimental child, and as a stepmother, she had no need and no right to fight for any title.
However, when Lin Youxi called out "Mom", both Liang Meijuan and Lin Youxi felt as if a chain that had been binding them for many years had been cut off, and they felt a sense of relief.
Liang Meijuan covered her face, bent over, and silently choked with tears. The sensible Lin Youxi gently soothed her back. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan couldn't help but be moved by this heartwarming scene.
You Xiaobing was detained on suspicion of trespassing, and there were still some troublesome matters to deal with later.
But after Lin Guochuan dealt with all this, Lin Youxi's generation would never have any contact with this person again.
No one expected such a mess to happen on the day before New Year's Eve. Mei Lijun had to leave first to deal with the cadres, and Mei Fang came down to help. He was exhausted when he came back from Youxi's house. Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Ya did not dare to ask more, but just listened to Mei Fang's explanation of the whole story.
"This You Xiaobing is really a piece of shit. The Lin family has helped him so much but he still doesn't know how to be grateful..."
"You said Youxi called Meijuan "Mom"? That's amazing! After I send the spring rolls over tomorrow, I'll have to ask Meijuan how it feels to have a daughter like Youxi calling her mom."
"If you want to know so much, why don't you just ask Sister Youxi to call you—"
Xiang Xiaoxia pinched Mei Ya's cheek and said, "Girl, you don't learn from good things. You tease your mother every day. You asked me to pick up Yuanyuan as your daughter in the afternoon, and you became Youxi in the evening, right?"
"I'm just worried that Mom will be overwhelmed by the choices." Meiya smiled, "If it really doesn't work, I'll buy both--"
Just at this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
Mei Fang opened the door and saw Lin Youxi standing in front of him with a schoolbag on her back.
"What happened, again?"
"Nothing. The master bedroom at home is not available tonight, so I let my parents sleep in my bed..."
Lin Youxi touched his nose, then smiled faintly at Mei Fang with his lips pursed: "So, can I bother you tonight... Let me stay at your house overnight?"
That's all for today's update on the underworld. I'll try to return to the earthly realm to update the next chapter before 10pm.
