Chapter 323 God Also Needs a Housekeeper
Lin Luoran doesn’t directly go back home. She deliberately touches the protection circle and jumps into the house over the wall like a thief. A sword splits down with a cold light.
Then there comes a blade. The neutral and placid blade is also a sharp weapon to kill the enemy.
There is also a clumsy “Bound Spell”. The iron thorns seed is instantly activated. Although the action is a bit slow, it is attacking the target without deviation.
As soon as Lin Luoran turns around, the vine of the iron thorns winds around the near post. The sword and the blade collide together after losing the target and have a matched battle.“Grandmaster!” Yuan Ye looks like a young hero standing with a sword.
“Grandmaster…” Zeng Tian is in a suit and looks funny when swinging the vine.
Mr. Lin laughs, “How can you be so mischievous? What if you get hurt?”
Lin Luoran not entering from the front door is to test the defense of the home. Although the three of them cooperate very well, she still repeatedly sighs, “How can you go forward when facing the person who has strong personal ability and can break the huge circle? In such a case, it is right to run for your life!”
Her words make Mr. Lin laugh. The young Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian also disagree with her in mind. They are both disciples of Lin’s family and shoulder the responsibility of guarding. How can they just abandon their responsibilities when facing an enemy?
“No wonder even we know there is an intruder, but Goldie has no response. It must know it’s you.” Mr. Lin puts his blade into the Storage Belt and laughs loudly.
Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian behave to greet Lin Luoran. Zeng Tian says with a naughty smile, “Grandmaster, you come back suddenly. Do you have a breakthrough in closed-door training?”Lin Luoran nods to him. She has nothing to hide from her disciples. And the higher the personal ability she has, the more confident they are. This is also beneficial to their cultivation.
“After three years of closed-door training, I’m in the final state of Laying Foundation. It is difficult to make any progress in the Dragon Palace, so I come out to seek inspiration for bearing Essence.”
Yuan Ye gasps. His young grandmaster, who has practiced for only a decade, is ready to bear Essence?
Yuan Ye looks at the heartless Zeng Tian, considering whether he is also to change the breathing technique that Lin teaches him. The technique is not well-known, but he does not want to abandon what he inherited from his previous master. Even the lesser talented “Great Grandmaster” also surpasses him, and enters the middle state of Training Qi ahead of him…
Not to mention his brainstorm, Lin Luoran goes to the dining room with them. There is no one in the kitchen. Mr. Lin and the two boys are happy about Lin Luoran’s back. Mrs. Lin now has a broad vision and says women must have their own independent space after the brainwashing of feminism by Wang Miao’e. She also says, only if a woman has a wonderful life, the husband will love her more. She often goes to shopping with Wang Miao’e. These days, they are taking a bath in a hot spring and haven’t come back.
The three men are left at home. They can wash clothes using the spell, but as for cooking and boiling water, Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian insist not to bother Mr. Lin. So they have eaten takeout for two days.
Lin Luoran looks at the dusty kitchen and is surprised by the eloquence of Wang Miao’e, whocan even persuade the stubborn Mrs. Lin in a short time. Now she needs to cook.
Of course, she is the grandmaster. Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian insist on helping her. But they know nothing and make trouble in the kitchen nervously.
They finally eat a hot breakfast. Zeng Tian proposes to hire a housekeeper considering the present situation. Lin Luoran feels awkward. She would like her mother to have her own life and can look around as she likes, but their family is not like ordinary people. Can they just hire a housekeeper ?
After Rong Donglin comes, they speak of this topic again. This honest person hesitates in speaking.
Lin Luoran presses him. Then he asks if they can let his sister try. Rong Donglin has a steady income these years and owns an apartment in Rong City. He decides to settle down in the city in his heart. After entering Lins’ company, he sold the small old apartment in Xi’an and picked his parents and sister to Rong City.
The old apartment, with two rooms, was in the suburb and was not worth much money with a remote location. Rong Donglin has no mortgage pressure, so he used the money of selling the old house to mortgage another small apartment, which is in the same building with the previous one. He planned to take it as the dowry for his sister in the future. But his younger sister was out of control since junior high school. After she failed in the college entrance examination, she came to retake courses for a year in Rong City. Failed to enter the university, she made an unreliable boyfriend and spent two years with him. Now it is more difficult to discipline her.
Rong’s parents have a similar character with Rong Donglin, otherwise, Rong Donglin can’t be such an honest and justice son. The problem is that most honest people are too gentle to be decisive. With contradictions accumulating day after day, his little sister is recently encouraged by her boyfriend to bawl at home and wants to sell the small apartment to start a business! As for her boyfriend, sometimes he goes to Rong’s home and judges around, which makes Rong Donglin’s parents so angry.
Domestic shame should not be made public. Rong Donglin didn’t tell anyone before that. Zeng Tian, who has known him for a long time, snaps his fingers. This problem can’t be simpler in their eyes. Finding two men to teach the little riffraff a lesson then he definitely dares not to disturb Rong’s family anymore.
Yuan Ye hits him on the head, “if you do such a thing, you have to keep it a secret. Or his sister will hate Rong Dongling, and even worse, will she never forgive him if she knows that?”
Yuan Ye is right. Lin Luoran thinks for a while and asks Rong Donglin, “Is your sister good to your parents?” As long as a person has filial piety, he is not bad at heart. It doesn’t matter if she goes the wrong way temporarily . But if she is vicious, it will be a trouble for Lin’s family.
Rong Donglin nods fiercely, “her boyfriend only hectors when she is not at home. My little sister is extremely filial to parents. Although she is not good at study, she has been taking care of our parents since they were in my hometown. Otherwise, she will not attain good cooking skills… Then I dare not recommend her.”
On one hand, it can help the lost Sister Rong. On the other hand, they have a person to cook for them. Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian absolutely agree with this proposal. As the two boys are in high spirits, Lin Luoran authorize them to be responsible for it.
“We can solve your sister’s problem by the way, as long as she doesn’t do anything harmful to Lin’s family. But…”
Lin Luoran is not finished. Rong Donglin of course knows what she means. In this world, except for Lin’s family, no one can frighten his unruly younger sister. She does not have a degree or a specialty. Being a cook in Lin’s family is the best choice for Rong Donglin, who cares about his sister so much.
Nevertheless, he needs to go home and caution his younger sister. Lin’s family is generous and clement, but they are cultivators…
…
“What? Let me be a housekeeper ? Brother, even if you don’t like me, you can’t come up with such a bad idea to punish me. Will you be honorable if I am a housekeeper ?” Sister Rong roars at home. Rong Donglin’s face turns pale with anger. His parents do not know whether to comfort their son or to persuade their daughter.
Jobs are all equal. Before making acquaintance with the Lins, Rong Donglin began to work from high school. In the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, he also went to carry the bricks in order to save enough tuition! If his parents were not laid off and unable to do heavy work, he could have gone to a better college with his score… Chuan University is good, but in the eyes of the people, how can it compare with those top universities?
Because Chuan University would provide scholarships for him, Rong Donglin gave in.
He considers for the little sister with all his heart. That year when they were threatened by Cao Liyang, he was willing to kneel down for the family’s safety. Now Sister Rong’s words deeply hurt Rong Donglin’s heart. He even has no strength to defend himself.
The eyes of Sister Rong’s boyfriend light up, “my brother-in-law, you mean the Lin’s family…Is there anything to do with the Lins’ company?”
Rong Donglin is managing a small department of ancient prescription research in Lins’ Company, which is snooped by the riffraff called Gu Xiang. He hears that Lins’ employees have generous benefits. He was eager to enter a department with real power and asked Rong Donglin for several times. Though he was criticized by Rong Donglin with the question of “what are you good at”, he has not completely given up.
Gu Xiang knows he is right looking at Rong Donglin’s expression. He immediately agrees on behalf of his girlfriend, “You know Lin’s family? Your brother really does not deceive you this time.”
Gu Xiang’s words let the rest three people’s faces turn black. Does he mean that Rong Donglin deceived his sister before?
Sister Rong believes Gu Xiang most. They whisper privately for a while and Sister Rong agrees to go to Lin’s family the next day.
Rong Donglin repeatedly reminds her that she mustn’t leak what she sees in Lin’s family and that her job is to clean up the house and cook. Sister Rong curls her lips. Gu Xiang also secretly despises this brother-in-law who usually looks dignified. His glib talk sounds as sweet as a song. Now isn’t he pleasing the boss?
Gu Xiang is ready to follow them to find where Lin’s family lives. A black Audi car stops downstairs when they get out of the apartment.
It’s no one else but Cao Liyang, who omce had some conflits with Rong Donglin. Now Cao’s child is already two years old, Cao is not as snobbish as in the old times. He has got the order of Zeng Tian. After Rong Donglin and his sister are on the car, he shuts the door and drives away without paying attention to the flattering Gu Xiang.
Sister Rong is astonished at first and then becomes angry. She just doesn’t love to study but is not stupid. Of course, she knows her boyfriend is despised by this rich man. She cries to get off.
Cao Liyang does not care about such little trick at all. He slowly says, “Brother Rong, no wonder you are so strong-willed in those years. If I have such a sister, I am afraid I will have the same reaction with you.”
Cao Liyang is in a tone like saying a stand-up comedy, which immediately draws Sister Rong’s attention. She temporarily forgets her boyfriend who was refused to get in the car.
Rong Donglin’s facial expression has changed. He does not know why Cao mentions that. Although they are now working together in Lins’ Company, it is impossible to have no grudge in their heart for the conflict in the downtempo bar. To tell the truth, Rong Donglin still can’t figure out why Lin’s family asks Cao Liyang to pick them.
“Little girl, you obviously want to know the gossip, why not ask?” Cao Liyang rolls down the window and puffs a smoke ring.
Sister Rong snorts and does not reply.
Cao Liyang slowly tells out all the things that happened in the downtempo bar that year. These are originally ridiculous things that may bring shame to him. But he seems to not mind and is smiling
Sister Rong sneers that he was a dude who only bullied poor students at the beginning. But hearing that Rong Donglin was to kneel in the balcony, she is quiet.
Cao Liyang puts out the cigarette and makes a fine comment, “In those days, I was absurd and ignorant. Now I admire you for having such a brother.”
Rong Donglin grows red in the face, but Sister Rong stops crying and keeps silent. The anger in her eyes disappears a lot.
Without any words all the way, they unknowingly go over the custom street. Sister Rong used to play in this area. She usually goes to the quaint restaurants and bars in this street. Anyway, it is her brother’s money. Sister Rong is generous in consumption.
But she does not expect that just through two lanes, there is another scene which is separated from the busy tourist street.
