Good Man Operation Guide Chapter 9 Part2

Lin s.h.i.+heng smiled and shook his head. His voice was still gentle. Only the two of them could hear him whisper: “Look at you, Xiaobao. Such a big man has no courage and has never gone to work.”

“I know. Every day playing cards doesn't mean caring for your wife who has just given birth to a child, being ungrateful to your friends, being unfilial to your mother, and not caring for your child. Although you are timid and you have never done any 'real' crime, you still owe a lot in the village. To be honest, I am surprised that you can live so long without being killed.”

He Xiaobao looked at the person who smiled gently in front of him in a daze: “Bro… brother-in-law…”

Lin s.h.i.+heng smiled and released a hand. Like a good brother, he gently touched He Xiaobao's head: “I'm good to you because you are Xuezhu's brother.”

“Xiaobao, when your sister is happy, then your brother-in-law is happy.”

“When your sister is not happy, then your brother-in-law will make you unhappy.”

His smile was still very mild, but He Xiaobao's face was pale with fear. His good brother-in-law had suddenly become like this, it even made him slightly s.h.i.+ver.

“I… I want to go home. ”

“I want to get off this train!”

Lin s.h.i.+heng took back his hand and wiped his fingers on He Xiaobao's new clothes in disgust before returning it to He Xuezhu head; who had fallen asleep because of the ma.s.sage.

The handsome man spoke with a faint voice: “Xiaobao, you told brother-in-law that you and the two muddlers in the village play cards every day, right? They've also opened a small gambling house?”

“What if, I went to the police and told them that you were the source…”

He Xiaobao's mind went blank.

Those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are powerful people in the village, he will die, he's bound to die…

Despite what Xiaobao is doing at home, all he could depend on was his mother's favor. As Lin s.h.i.+heng said, Xiaobao is a coward who never dares to talk back when he is scolded face to face.

Facing a man who said such terrible words; with an unchanging smile, He Xiaobao's eyes were red.

“Brother-in-law, I was wrong…”

He confesses.

wu wu wu wu… he cried.

He Xuezhu slept so sweetly that even her uncomfortable stomach relaxed. She opened her eyes and found that she was still leaning on her husband's shoulder and straighten her waist.

“s.h.i.+heng, how long did I sleep? Are your shoulders uncomfortable?”

“It's nothing, It's fine. ”

Lin s.h.i.+heng smiled and took the apple and water out of the bag and handed it to her. His eyes were gentle: “Don't dry your mouth, drink some water…”

He Xuezhu took it; her face flushed after a deep sleep, smiled and said to him, “I didn't know trains would be so crowded and hot. ”

“Sister, are you hot?”

He Xiaobao; sitting opposite side, grabbed a book Lin s.h.i.+heng had read before from the table and fanned her.

He Xuezhu looked at her younger brother in shock, “… Xiaobao?”

It would be good if he didn't only fan himself. But, what's happening here? He is only fanning her?!

“Xiaobao, we are out of water. You go get some hot water.” Lin s.h.i.+heng; without the slightest look of surprise, handed over the kettle while looking at his plump wife. Her brother hurriedly agreed and held the kettle and squeezed out. Looking at the surprise face on He Xuezhu, he said, “what's the matter?”

He Xuezhu: “… Xiaobao. Why is he so diligent?”

Picking up water… When she was at home, he wished he could do everything from the bed.

“When kids grow up, they are all like this.”

Lin s.h.i.+heng held his wife's shoulder gently. “Don't you want Xiaobao to grow up sooner?”

He Xuezhu still can't believe it. She leans in her husband's arms and her voice is a little dreamlike: “I'm not hallucinating, am I?”

She had thought about how good it would be if Xiaobao could be sensible. He Xuezhu still has hope for her brother who had stolen food for her without telling her family at that time, compared with her mother who always scolded her.

But as He Xiaobao grew up, he might not even remember the things he did when he was a child.

The train stopped, and the people who came on with them went down to the station. Then, other people got on the train.

Lin s.h.i.+heng carefully guarded his wife beside him as the crowd surged. A figure took He Xiaobao's seat.

He Xuezhu hurriedly said, “Sorry, this seat is occupied. ”

The man in the seat didn't raise his head and impatiently put down his things: “Can't I buy it?”

“Deputy Zhang?”

Listening to the questioning voice, Zhang Yanming froze and raised his head quickly. It was just in time to see Lin s.h.i.+heng twisting his eyebrows slightly.

“Yanming, help me carry it…” Miao Xing's voice also came from behind. She struggled to reach Zhang Yanming; who was sitting in the seat. She had two large bags in her hand. She saw his shocked expression and looked down. She also froze when she saw Lin s.h.i.+heng.

At this moment; because they almost missed the train and ran all the way, they were covered in sweat. But, looking at Lin s.h.i.+heng sitting opposite them, who was clean and neat in a military uniform. His clean and handsome face is refres.h.i.+ng and incomparable.

Whether it was Miao Xing; who still has some thoughts about Lin s.h.i.+heng or even Zhang Yanming; who loves face and thinks he is a rival, both didn't look good.          
(face = pride/honor/respect etc.)

In particular, Zhang Yanming, who had some expectations when he visited Miao Xing's family. He did not expect to see two elderly people in dirty clothes who kept asking about his salary and a younger brother who asked for money the moment he saw him.

What is even more outrageous is that the younger brother; who is nothing like Miao Xing, that was given money to buy train tickets, but spent it all. When Zhang Yanming went back to buy tickets, he actually lost his seat. And when they were about to leave, the younger brother came out and refused to let them go without giving some more money, almost causing the two to delay the train.

Zhang Yanming was so angry that he ran into Lin s.h.i.+heng at his worst moment.

In the past, this unruly guy used to have a sullen face but did not say a word.

He Xuezhu did not know the grievances between the three people and asked curiously, “s.h.i.+heng, do you know each other?”

“In the army. Deputy Zhang Yanming, next to him is his wife.”

Lin s.h.i.+heng seems to completely ignore Miao Xing's line of sight while He Xuezhu took a gentle look. Then he added, “my wife; He Xuezhu is going with me this time.”

Before Zhang Yanming spoke, Miao Xing said, “h.e.l.lo. ”

She looked at He Xuezhu and saw that although her beautiful skin was a little yellow, her hands were not as tender and white as hers, and her abdomen even had a little belly. A sense of superiority immediately rose in her heart.

It's just a woman like this. Where can she compare with her?

Just as she was thinking of this, the crowd squeezed out a white, fat young man holding a kettle. He put the kettle in front of He Xuezhu first, not considering anything else.

“Sister, if you're still hot after drinking water? I'll fan you.”

Lin s.h.i.+heng saw Zhang Yanming looking at him and said, “Deputy Zhang, this is my wife's brother, He Xiaobao. Still a kid. This time I am going to take him to the army. You are sitting in his seat.”

Looking at He Xiaobao, who cared for his sister in every way, and recalling Miao Xing's brother's appearance that demanded money from him; Zhang Yanming's face became even more somber.

He didn't know what kind of luck Lin s.h.i.+heng has. He found himself a sensible wife and brother-in-law.

They are both younger brothers, but why are they so different?
