“Only those devils, traitors, and enemies of the people can hate us Lin family members so deeply.”
“And today, right here at No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, a pair of scoundrels has emerged.”
“Jia Zhangshi insults soldiers, slanders martyrs, belittles combat heroes, and disrespects military families, all while speaking out for the Japanese devils and traitorous scum.”
“And her old lover, relying on his status as the caretaker of the courtyard, shelters Jia Zhangshi, this scum among the people.”
“Forcing me, a military family member, a son of a combat hero, a descendant of martyrs, to apologize to such a scoundrel and bow my head.”
“Neighbors in the courtyard, what do you think should be done about this?”
“Even if I were to execute this pair of scoundrels, it would be justified, and the military management committee would investigate and clear my name.”
“Brother Zhuzi, after I take care of these two scoundrels, you should call the police.”
Lin Yu's speech seemed impassioned, but in reality, it was just a way to fool these ignorant beasts.
The main thing was that the people in the courtyard were frightened by Lin Yu's handgun.
Who in a normal family has seen such a thing? Moreover, after the turmoil, common folks are most afraid of this kind of weapon.
Although Lin's father had a service pistol, he usually carried it concealed and never displayed it in front of outsiders.
Where would you find someone like Lin Yu, swaggering around with a gun pointed at people's heads?
Did he really think it was like when they first entered the city in '49, with enemies everywhere?
Today, let you all witness what the legend of Lin Er Ye's deception looks like.
“Lin family kid, Xiao Yi, can you lend a hand with this matter?”
Lin Yu secretly smiled, feeling quite pleased.
Old deafie, I've been waiting for you so long that the flowers are about to wither. If you don't come out soon, I won't know how to continue this act.
“Old lady, you also came from that era and know that the most lovable people cannot be insulted.”
“My Lin family has sacrificed for the country, shedding blood and laying down our lives. As a descendant, even if I have to give up my life, I cannot tolerate those two.”
Auntie helped the deaf old lady over, and the deaf old lady, seeing Jia Zhangshi in a daze, raised her cane and struck her on the head.
Instantly, bright red blood flowed down from Jia Zhangshi's head.
Lin Yu's pupils constricted.
Who would have thought that this old hag was actually a martial artist?
What the hell, that's not a cane; it's a two-person club wrapped in copper strips.
“I let you, this mouthy scoundrel, speak nonsense, and you dare to say anything.”
“If this word gets out today, it won't matter if you die; your entire family will be implicated, and your sons and grandsons will only be able to do the most laborious and degrading work for the rest of their lives.”
As she spoke, she struck Yi Zhonghai with the cane again, but this time not on the head.
Lin Yu also saw that this old deafie had some skills; she was holding back her strength, making it look heavy but actually causing no harm.
And you, this confused fool, unable to distinguish right from wrong, truly blind.
While the deaf old lady was performing this act of teaching in front of everyone, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu walked in from the front yard with smiles on their faces.
“What's all this commotion? Where's my mom... Mom, what's going on? Master, what happened to you?”
Jia Dongxu saw Jia Zhangshi covered in blood, and his master also had blood at the corner of his mouth, slumped on the ground with vacant eyes.
“Dongxu... Dongxu, Mom has caused you trouble.” Upon hearing her eldest son's words, Jia Zhangshi instantly came to her senses and began to cry loudly.
Lin Yu was even more pleased upon seeing this scene.
Initially, he thought the old deafie would be hard to fool, but it turned out she understood a bit of law, though not much.
This... is just too good.
This time, I can't be blamed for being too demanding.
Lin Yu glanced at Yan Bugui, who immediately shivered.
Understanding what Lin Yu meant, he stepped forward, helped Jia Dongxu up, and recounted the events from the beginning.
After hearing Yan Bugui's words, Jia Dongxu staggered and nearly fell onto Yan Bugui.
Qin Huairu was even more distressed, already sitting on the ground, looking at Jia Zhangshi in horror.
Lin Yu shook his head and said, “Dongxu, I can only say this matter won't implicate you. Just live well with your wife, and I will give your mom a quick end, so she won't suffer.”
As he spoke, Lin Yu put away his handgun under the puzzled gazes of the crowd.
He walked towards the house.
Just as everyone was confused, Lin Yu came out holding a five-six rifle.
Everyone quickly came to their senses; this guy was afraid the handgun wouldn't kill.
“With a click,”
The bullet was chambered, and Lin Yu walked towards the backs of Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai.
“Xiao Yu, I beg you, please show mercy.”
Jia Dongxu lunged forward, directly kneeling in front of Lin Yu, hugging his thigh.
To be honest, Jia Dongxu had always left a good impression on Lin Yu.
Even during that childhood conflict with the Jia family, the now 20-year-old Jia Dongxu had always stopped Jia Zhangshi from escalating the conflict.
After observing for so many years, Lin Yu found that Jia Dongxu and Old Jia were quite decent people.
In the original play, Shazhu also mentioned that when Dongxu was alive, he helped him and He Yushui during his hardest times.
So, Shazhu's initial help to the Jia family wasn't aimed at Qin Huairu.
It just turned out that the widow had too high a hand, and Shazhu, seeing her beauty, fell into a moral trap.
To put it bluntly, widows are the smartest creatures in the world.
Even Dorgon couldn't escape the widow's grasp; what could a little Shazhu do?
Auntie hurriedly hugged Lin Yu's thigh to plead for mercy, and the old deaf lady sighed and said to Lin Yu:
“Lin kid, let's talk privately for a moment. After all, we've been neighbors in the same courtyard for over a decade. Even if you can pull the trigger, you won't feel good about it.”
Lin Yu frowned and remained silent.
In reality, he was overjoyed inside; after performing for so long and saying so many lines, his mouth was dry. If you don't bring out some real goods soon, I, Er Ye, might just quit.
“Sigh...” Lin Yu sighed and disengaged the safety on the trigger.
“Dongxu, you should come along too.” The deaf old lady said to Jia Dongxu and walked towards the backyard.
Arriving at the deaf old lady's home, Lin Yu sat down at the table, saying nothing, just watching the old deafie.
The deaf old lady knew Lin Yu was not easy to deal with, so she decided to bring out the hard evidence.
