Chapter 4: The Capable Brother-in-law
Big brother! This thing is legal abroad...!
You are too fast!" Lin Jun said helplessly, pointing at his younger brother
"Jun, you and Xiao Wei play for a while; your sister will be back soon," the stepmother called from the kitchen
The doorbell rang
The phone rang again less than three seconds after being hung up. This time, Lin Jun hesitated for a few seconds with his thumb hovering over the power button, and finally, with a furrowed brow, he reluctantly answered the call, but still asked in a displeased tone: "Is there something you need?"
They associate with me because I can get the job done! Whether it's demolition, debt collection, fighting for parking spaces, or land disputes, I have connections for all these matters" Lin Wei said proudly
Clang!
Xiaowei, see who has come back, go and open the door!
... ...
The woman has a slightly plump figure, but she is definitely not considered fat. She is quite tall, standing around 1.686 to 1.69 meters. Although she is not particularly beautiful, she possesses a natural sensuality, resembling the Hong Kong actress Sylvia Chang in her twenties.
Mom, it's already midnight, don't work too hard, let's just make do with a bite to eat! Lin Jun smiled and reached out to place the massager on the bookshelf
Lin Jun felt even more embarrassed upon hearing this
"Do not pay attention to him; he has been mentally unstable lately. Come on, let us go to my room and discuss the future landscape of the underworld in this city." Lin Wei is extremely disorganized, and his speaking style mainly reflects a lack of thought. Due to his irregular schedule and lack of exercise, he weighs just over 100 pounds, and his long, permed hair is quite flamboyant, with bangs covering half of his face, giving him a somewhat lewd appearance.
Half an hour later, Lin Jun returned to his residence by taxi after getting stitches at the hospital. He covered the wounds and bruises on his body with a loose hoodie. Finally, he washed his face before taking a taxi to his parents' home.
"Son, your sister and brother-in-law are flying back from out of town tonight, and Xiao Wei is also at home. Why don't you come back and have dinner together?" The stepmother warmly greeted over the phone
"Is it you, Third Brother? Do you think I am useful or not?" Lin Jun sat on the bed, and his right leg shot out like lightning
You really deserve a beating!" Lin Jun said with a sideways glance at him, feeling somewhat itchy to take action.
Lin Wei stood on the ground, then extended three fingers and said passionately: "Three years! Just give me three years! I can take down Bai Tao, poke at Fu You, and bring back Peter Li. With Qiao Si gone, I will be Lin San from now on! As long as they have a pair of pants with a penis, they will all be useless when they encounter me!"
Bang
You should know better, I wouldn't even dare to draw it myself!" Lin Wei shrank his neck and hid further back.
As he spoke, Lin Jun changed his shoes and walked into the living room, where his father sat on the sofa watching television, still half-asleep and sipping tea.
Lin Jun's family composition is somewhat unique; his biological mother passed away many years ago, but she left behind two children: one is his elder sister Lin Jia, and the other is Lin Jun
Lin Wei threw down a sentence, then turned around and left the room
This is called being resourceful Lin Jun replied with a smile
That's nothing. As for my stomach, if I don't take advantage of it, it's basically equivalent to suffering a loss. Whenever you can treat me, that's when I can clear out what's in my stomach, very reliable!" Zhang Xiaole smiled and then waved his hand, saying, "Then I'll take my leave first, let's talk on the phone tomorrow!"
"You have been back for a week, and you have only shown your face at home once. Is this reasonable? Even if you do not get along with him, there are still me and Xiao Wei at home, right? You don't look at him, but you also don't look at us? What is it, son, do you want to cut yourself off from the people?" The stepmother scolded in a cheerful voice.
"Ah, I'm going right now!" Lin Wei shouted in response, then turned to Lin Jun and said, "Do you want to code someone? Can we finish this meal first and then talk privately on the playground later?"
I will make you legal, but first I will punish you!" Lin Jun raised his hand to strike him
"Oh dear, this is so distressing for me," Lin Jun said, slapping his forehead as he looked at the hung-up phone
Lin Jun looked down at the phone number and hung up immediately
"Weiwei, your sister has arrived, go open the door for her," the stepmother called from outside the door
Ah, regarding this matter, I truly will not argue with you. Ever since he expressed his intention to transfer to the district riot police, he has indeed encountered quite a few issues. Fortunately, my sister can lend him some of her sanitary pads each month; otherwise, our household would have been overwhelmed by him. Do you believe that?
However, the relationship between Lin Jun and his stepmother is surprisingly good. As for the reason, perhaps only Lin Jun himself knows, as he has never spoken to anyone about this matter, not even his father and family are aware of it
Ding dong
... ...
If he doesn't buy it for me, I'll hang myself. If that doesn't work, I'll just go out on the street and start a fight or two; he won't be able to stand it! Yielding, that's what our people are good at!" Lin Wei said boldly
Use your brain when you speak, damn it! Lin Jun was sweating profusely.
These were all bought for me by the old man Lin Wei kicked off his slippers and, barefoot, took a box of cigarettes from the gap in the bookshelf then said: "Here, a whole pack of 4-character Zhonghua cigarettes, even the municipal party secretary can't get these, I spent three days mingling with them to get my hands on this!"
"If you hit me, I'll just frame you for it," Lin Wei said with a grin, then continued, "Brother, what are your plans after you come back? Do you want to make a name for yourself? Let me tell you, all the big shots in our area have been taken down after heading south. If you want to establish yourself, I can't promise much, but I can easily pull out twenty or thirty people for you in no time. These guys are ruthless, and they come cheap; they need cigarettes, meals, and occasionally, I can help them cover a hotel room, and then all problems will be solved"
Bang
Lin Wei was caught off guard and was kicked to the side of the computer desk, immediately reacting with anger and shouting: "Are you crazy! Why are you hitting me?"
At home, the stepmother, wearing an apron, was cooking in the kitchen while shouting at the old man on the sofa in the living room: "I'm telling you! When Xiao Jun comes back, you better not say anything useless."
"Mom, I still have some matters to attend to, you all go ahead and eat. I will come back to see you another day," Lin Jun thought for a moment and replied with his head lowered
What happened?" Zhang Xiaole asked, stretching his neck.
Oh, Mom!" Upon hearing the voice of his stepmother on the phone, Lin Jun's face instantly broke into a smile, and his tone became much softer.
Dad, I miss you so much. You said that while I was in Hainan, I was thinking about your cough. Look, I brought you some good medicine... all of it is a specialty from Yunnan. Li Quan entered the room without saying a word, directly kicked off his leather shoes, and rushed towards Lin's father on the sofa with great strides, his momentum akin to that of Dong Cunrui preparing to blow up a pillbox.
"Xiao Jun, why aren't you answering the phone?" a woman's voice sounded.
It is acceptable, just showing signs of rising.
"You don't know anything, I am the fashion compass of the Northeast tough guy circle, and the styling must be on point." Lin Wei curled his lip and then reached out to close the door
"Are you always hanging out with these people?" Lin Jun asked expressionlessly, then directly extinguished the cigarette he had just taken three puffs from.
"Get lost, get lost." Lin Jun waved his hand irritably
Mom, I ... ... !
"I told you, but you wouldn't understand." Lin Jun waved his hand and said, "Le, it seems I won't be able to treat you to a meal today. You can head back first, and I'll find you tomorrow!"
In the living room, a young couple entered, dragging their travel suitcase.
Cut! Crazy!
What kind of physique do you have? Why did you buy such good computers and equipment?" Lin Jun glanced around the room's furnishings and then frowned as he asked
You are doing quite well! Lin Jun said, grinding his teeth
Stop dawdling, come back, I have prepared a table full of dishes
This is so damn fake... It seems like these two steps are about to crush the egg! Lin Wei looked at his brother-in-law and disdainfully muttered to Lin Jun.
It is not that I do not want to see you, but rather that as soon as I return, I will have to deal with him...! Whenever Lin Jun talks about matters at home, he gets quite agitated, constantly clicking his tongue.
A few years after the death of his mother, his father remarried and found a stepmother for Lin Jun. They also had a boy named Lin Wei, who is four years younger than Lin Jun and is the youngest child in the Lin family
Lin Wei's bedroom has a somewhat modern atmosphere, especially with the abundance of electronic devices, including a PS4, an extravagant water-cooled case, a curved LCD monitor, and all the professional gaming equipment one could desire
"Can the old man really afford to buy you such expensive things?" Lin Jun sat down heavily on the bed and reached out to take the cigarette, lighting it.
The man has a refined appearance, wearing a suit and shirt on his upper body, with neatly pressed wool trousers that are impeccably tailored, featuring straight creases. His leather shoes are polished to a shine, giving him the look of a social elite.
Three minutes later, Lin Jun walked over, holding a head massager he bought for his stepmother. Upon seeing Lin Wei, he smiled and then reached out to ruffle his hair, saying, "Look at how you are dressed, you look like you're about to die."
Oula! In the side bedroom, Lin Wei, who has a curly hairstyle styled like a Korean oppa, with earrings on his ears and a very slender figure, walked out casually in slippers and then opened the security door downstairs
Ding ding ding
The woman is Lin Jun's elder sister, Lin Jia. The man is her brother-in-law, Li Quan
Hehe. Lin Jun smiled and then walked into the bedroom with him, hands clasped behind his back
Dad " Lin Jun stood awkwardly in place, but still took the initiative to greet first
You are no longer naive, do you understand? Is this something that can be chosen at random?" Lin Jun forcefully pulled Lin Wei over.
Generally speaking, in families formed in this manner, the relationship between children and their stepfather or stepmother tends to be poor. Even if the relationship is not bad, it is often merely a performance of "pseudo-affection," as the lack of blood ties between these strangers makes it easy to create barriers. A single misstep in communication can easily lead to dissatisfaction and resistance from the other party
"Watching television," the old man replied with a frown
"Go make your meal." Father Lin, who is over fifty and sitting on the sofa, once held some power that could be considered neither large nor small. Therefore, his tone of voice always gives people a sense of being unhurried and calm, except when it comes to Lin Jun and Lin Wei
... ...
Lin Jun crushed the cigarette that Weiwei had given him with his hand, revealing a brown foreign substance that resembled tobacco inside the cigarette roll. He then suddenly stood up, walked towards Lin Wei while cursing, "Third Brother? Have you gone completely crazy? Are you starting to smoke marijuana?"
"My blood pressure has been unstable again recently, please don't upset me. Let's not discuss this anymore, just come back quickly!" The stepmother interrupted Lin Jun's words repeatedly, then unambiguously threw down a sentence and directly hung up the phone.
