Fighting Over the Meat

Lu Fang didn’t respond. He knew Lin Donglai well and didn’t approve of him, so he turned his gaze to Lin Nannan, waiting for her to decide.

If Nan Nan accepted them, the Lu family would too.

If she didn’t, neither would the Lu family.

"But I meant every word!" Lin Nannan said coldly, glaring at them.

"You’re such an unreasonable child. Without your family and with Lu Hang in this state, who will you rely on in the future?" Old Mrs. Lin pretended to care, but her words were laced with malice and provocation.

Their shamelessness made her sick.

Lu Fang bit his tongue, but Lin Nannan held nothing back. She snapped, "Fine, call me unreasonable. I’ll rely on myself in the future and won’t trouble you. I hope you’ll keep your word too. Whatever you came for today, you’ll get nothing."

The Lins’ intentions were written plainly on their faces. Lin Nannan couldn’t tolerate it, so she firmly refused. But she underestimated their shamelessness—especially Lin Qingqing, who ignored the argument entirely and egged Lin Yang on to grab the meat.

In Lin Yang’s eyes, Lin Nannan might be a bully, but she was no match for Grandma. So he charged forward to grab the meat, only to be blocked by Lin Nannan.

"Nan Nan, A-Yang is just a child. How can you fight with him over food?" Old Mrs. Lin scolded with feigned heartbreak, as if Lin Nannan had stolen something from the Lins.

Lin Nannan ignored her. She snapped, "Lin Yang, don’t say I didn’t warn you! If you dare try to steal again, don’t blame me for being harsh!"

"I want the meat! It’s all mine! All mine!" Lin Yang threw a tantrum, hanging onto Nan Nan and infuriating her. She reached out to grab him, but Lin Qingqing, who had been watching closely, rushed over to intervene. "Nan Nan, Yang Yang is still your brother. How can you be so cruel to him?"

Caught off guard, Lin Nannan was grabbed by Qingqing. With no one holding him back, Lin Yang, resentful of Lin Nannan’s stinginess, went to shove her, but at that moment, Lin Nannan struggled free from Lin Qingqing and moved closer to Lu Fang. Lin Yang couldn’t stop in time and ended up shoving the unprepared Lu Fang instead…

"Agh!" Lu Fang cried out as he fell to the ground. A sharp "crack" followed, making him gasp in pain and stunning everyone into silence.

The Lins looked at each other, guilty. No one dared to speak.

"It wasn’t me! I was trying to push Lin Nannan! He got in the way!" Lin Yang panicked, shouting before taking off running.

Yes—he didn’t seek help from anyone. He just bolted.

"Dad, where are you hurt?" Lin Nannan rushed over, worried sick.

At this moment, the Lins exchanged looks and quietly turned to leave…

Lin Nannan saw it but didn’t stop them. After all, they couldn’t hide forever. She’d catch them eventually.

"My ankle’s twisted!" Lu Fang tried to get up but failed several times.

Afraid to move him recklessly, Lin Nannan dragged over a chair and used her strength to help him onto it. Clenching her jaw, she said, "Dad, I’ll go get Mom from the fields. Stay here and don’t move!"

"Go ahead." Knowing he couldn’t do much in this state, Lu Fang nodded immediately.

Lin Nannan took off without a backward glance, her blood boiling. She wished she could hang every single one of the Lins up and beat them senseless… Those people were absolute scum.
