BTTS 215




Chapter 215. Released out


After being told off, Third Brother Lin couldn't speak.

Lin Qing He didn't go at him anymore. Her younger brother was kind and pure. This family of bad bamboo only produced him, the single good shoot. If not, she wouldn't get connected with him.

Second Brother Lin didn't do any merit to Third Brother Lin. The last time Third Brother Lin wanted to move out, Second Brother Lin often encourage him to break off from the family.

This was what Third Sister-in-law told her in private.

But now that something happened to him(2nd brother), he(3rd brother) was still happy to help run errands.

Father Lin and Mother Lin can tell that this daughter really had no intention to get involved in this matter. Mother Lin stopped making a scene. Her eyes displayed her desire to eat up Lin Qing He.

"If you won't help old Second, this old lady will die here!" Mother Lin got up and viciously hissed.

"Then I will give a little money for your coffin and let you be buried in beautifully." Lin Qing He nodded.

Threatening her? Not happening. If they can threaten once, they will threaten a second time. This time was Old Second Lin's business, what will be next time?

So she won't let this matter have a beginning.

"Good. Very good. I'll let you see me die!" Mother Lin declared and immediately charged to hit against the wall.

Lin Qing He didn't bat an eyelid. While Third Brother Lin was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, talk it out. Don't go seeking death!"

"You heartless person! I birthed you and raised you. Now you repay us like this. You just watch me, your mother die in front of you!" Mother Lin ignored her son and glared directly at Lin Qing He.

She was about to hit the wall and die and she was still indifferent. She didn't say a word. That appearance was as if she wasn't her mother.

"Old lady, your daughter had already died. She was already dead when she went back to her family's house to ask for money and didn't get it. You come to make trouble with me, I won't care about you." Lin Qing He apathetically said.

"That's enough. Let me tell you, even if you don't recognize me, I'm still your mother!" Mother Lin gritted her teeth.

"If there is nothing else, then quickly go back. Otherwise, my mother-in-law will come over in a bit. It won't be easily dropped like this. Some time ago, my mother-in-law gathered women from the village and went to help my second sister (on husband's side) beat up her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. No one dared to say anything." Lin Qing He said.

Mother Lin, who bully the weak and fear the strong, changed her expression when hearing this.

She heard about this. After all, Zhoujia Village wasn't that far away from old Lin's house. What's more, this incident was magnified. After all, the people were gathered to beat someone. It'll definitely get spread around.

"As long as you get Qing Bai to help get your second brother out, we won't bother you in the future. If you want to sever the relationship with the old Lin family, no problem!" Father Lin gritted his teeth.


"It's happening no matter what. I broke it off from my side. It’s your business to keep your side. It’s nothing to do with me. Anyway, don’t even think of getting a penny from me. However, when you pass, I will contribute a little bit." Lin Qing He snorted and said.

"Then tell me, what does it take for you to help in this matter!" Father Lin stared at her.

"I'll go to the city to check on Old Second Lin's matter." Zhou Qing Bai walked in from outside and stated.

Lin Qing He frowned and looked at him and said, "Aren't you working? Why are you back? Also, you can't help on Old Second Lin's matter."

"I'm just checking." Zhou Qing Bai sent her an assuring gaze.

Lin Qing He swept to Father Lin and Mother Lin: "Listen well. My Qing Bai only agreed to go over and check. Old Second Lin committed a crime. He deserves the punishment. Whether he can be released or what happened after the release, you can solve it yourself. If you dare to attack my family in the future, I will just let the dog bite people!

Father Lin and Mother Lin knew that she was ruthless. They both turned to Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai ignored it: "My wife has the final say in the family affairs."

The old couple choked on blood.

Still, Zhou Qing Bai went over to make an enquiry. He rode a bicycle to the county city.

Old Second Lin was arrested yesterday. When Zhou Qing Bai saw him, Second Brother Lin had already been beaten to into a mess.

"Qing Bai, brother-in-law, hurry... hurry up and save me. Quickly get me out." Old Second Lin scrambled and crawled over at the sight of him.

But before he got there, he was kicked back by a red soldier.

Old Second Lin didn't even dare to put one fart. He just looked at Zhou Qing Bai with pleading eyes.

Zhou Qing Bai ignored him and went out to find his comrade-in-arms.

"His incident isn't serious. The widow said she has nothing to do with him. It's just that he had the intent to. That's why he got a beating. You can take him back." His comrade took out the file and said.

The widow just clenched her teeth and persisted that there was no connection because if there was, she couldn't escape.

Old Second also said that he was falsely accused. The two people had the same confession. They were different from Wang Ling and Zhou He, who were caught on the spot and can't deny it.

So it was currently in the stage of torture. No conviction yet.

But if Zhou Qing Bai didn't come, then this matter would still continue. Since Zhou Qing Bai came, he can be released.

Zhou Qing Bai also led the widow and Old Second Lin out.

He paid no heed to the fact that old Second Lin couldn't walk properly. He had already listened to his wife's instruction. If he can't bring him out, then don't intervene. If he can, then don't bother with his life and death after taking him out.

Zhou Qing Bai also didn't like Old Second Lin, so he was done once he was taken out. Even without his wife's explanation, he planned to part ways with him here.

Both old Second Lin and the widow returned to the village. Although they were beaten badly and had injuries, at least they were released.

What's more, they were acquitted.

Old Second Lin scolded and cursed those who wrongly accused him within the village. The widow also joined in and greeted (a.k.a. cursed) their eighteenth generations of ancestors.

Because both of them stood so straight and no one caught them on the scene, it was all gossip. So they truly don't know whether the two were involved.

In the end, the two of them had a close brush with death.

Because this group of red soldiers from the outer city, the entire county cit, and the communities under the county city were panic-stricken.

This trend persisted until June. When those people departed again, everyone in the county was relieved.

When those people were here, no one dared to speak loudly on the streets of the county city.

Soon everyone had no time to mind these things because it rained in mid-June. It was nearly the season of the summer harvest and another heavy rain arrived. This had everyone on the edge!

If this goes on, what'll happen to the grain!

Not to mention other people, even Zhou Qing Bai frowned a little. This rain wasn't the kind that will stop in a few days.

Sure enough, the rain went continued until the end of June. When everyone felt dread in their heart, it cleared up.

The horn of the summer harvest sounded on the first day the rain stopped. Everyone took action!

  1. Why would he care about her family? He knows the original is gone so the current wife has no connection to these 'people'. She says don't go but he still goes and inadvertently helps get him out. What is the point?

    1. I understand your frustration...but I appreciate his morality and ethics.

      For better and for worst, he was married to the original wife. There should be some lingering affection, regret, and obligations to her and her family.

      This may be his last act of kindness, in acknowledge of his previous affections and connections.

      If he didn't do something, I would doubt his character and morals. After all...they were married and she bore his sons.

    2. Morality.... I think not.
      Those two went against the law and morals, that was their well deserved punishment and karma. He disrupted that

    3. Their lawless transactions weren't hurting anyone though. If he hadn't stepped in, brother-in-law might have been beaten to death. I suppose that is why he felt obliged to at least take a look.

    4. Because if he really let her mother die, no matter what Lin Qing He said, people will gossip and her reputation will take a hit. They might sympathize with her reasons but that's still pretty cold-blooded.

      Notice how he didn't come out until that happened. I fully expect he was going to let her handle it and decided to step out to protect her from herself. LQH can be a bit extreme when she gets angry.

    5. The Old Lin family and the widow might not have morale whatsoever. But, to punish immoral people, it doesn't mean we has to stoop down on their level. If we can help it, it's better to keep our own moral.

      ZQB didn't help and he didn't even have intention to help Second brother Lin. He just went there to inquire some news to calm his in-law's family down (as a way to save his wife's and his sons' reputation, just like @litokid said). The red army can't prove them guilty, so they'd just wasting their energy and time to torture Second brother Lin and the widow more if ZQB didn't come. Either way, the red army intended to set them free and they've been tortured enough. ZQB's arrival in the county city just cut them some jail time and over-the-top punishment. So, overall, ZQB has kept his own moral and integrity.

  6. Didn't even ask for money or anything ? Welp indeed how fucking useless you've turned mc .... Sigh whatever I guess.

    Third brother .... I don't quite like you as much anymore, there's being a good person and then there's being a complete and utter fool.

    1. You seem to be disillusioned that MC has plans of grandeur and living very rich in the future which is not in anyway speaks to to her established character? And Why the hell would she ask for money? MC wants her maternal family cut off or even dead, she doesn't want a "favor" from them saving the second brother through money. I don't really quite get you. Do you even like the story?

      Honestly I'm surprised you got it here reading by far since all you do is to whine and whine about your self imposed "incompetence" of MC.

    2. This person doesn't like anyone in the story. I have seen this person constantly demeaning ml for being poor and from backward society. He/she thinks that fl caring about ml and his family is making her submissive and pathetic. I wonder if he/she ever cared about his/her loved ones in real life and if he/she would really abandon them because they are "inferior" to him/her in any way

    3. Every time I see your username in the comment section, I just know I'll see complaints about the MC, the side characters, the plot, and all that jazz. How you managed to stay for over 200 chapters when you clearly dislike whatever's going on, baffles me. Just drop this novel if you're so tired of [insert whatever you decided to nitpick about today].

    4. LMAO we trashing this guy hard, and completely agreeable, username checks out though,

      I'll call you Da Boss if you would politely leave your nitpickings elsewhere because this is fucking annoying thank you very much ☺️

    5. Lol. I’ve seen DaBoss on at least 3 CN period novels now. In My Amazing Cannon Fodder Husband, s/he despised the ML for being sickly and “shamelessly” relying on FL’s care in the first few chapters. The main leads there were both not the ambitious type and the FL even wanted to serve as a diplomat for the country even though she had a magical space with healing spring water and she was also good in business so Da Boss despised their “indoctrinated” and “brainwashed” mentalities.
      In Parvenu’s Ex-wife, Da Boss was never able to get over the age gap between the main leads. FL was a 30-year old transmigrator in a 25-year old body divorced with two kids while ML was a 35-year old veteran. They were both mature in body and mind but Da Boss always comments in almost every chapter how weird it was. All the other readers wanted to reason with him. Everyone had different opinions but they were all in agreement that as long as both were legally and scientifically (swear, others were bringing in scientific basis of brain and body maturity just to provide Da Boss counter argument not to be so prejudiced) mature, then it was fine to enter into a relationship. Others were citing examples of people they know in real life with equal or even larger age gaps, and how they’re in a happy and healthy relationship, but Da Boss would also find it weird when people say “you do you, and we do us” and that some people are okay with this. When others say it’s fine between 25 and 35 but not between 17-18 and 22 just to emphasize on age of maturity and they were now discussing pedophilia and minors’ protection against grooming and predation, Da Boss found it weirder and said that since it’s not fine for 15 and 25 then it should also not be fine for 25 and 35.
      Here, in early chapters when ML didn’t yet know that FL had transmigrated and he thought his wife was still his wife but even better with more mature mindset, and he wanted to get close and be more intimate, Da Boss said he was rapey and creepy even when there was no indication at all that ML tried to force her against her will. He was just honestly confused since his wife with whom he already had three children with would not let him be intimate with her anymore. And you know the rest of Da Boss’ resentment against ML, FL, San Wa, and every other character here.
      Honestly, when there is something that I think might tempt Da Boss to comment, I just click next right away to not hurt my eyes or sometimes, like right now, I purposely find Da Boss’ name in the comments not to read his, of course, but to read what others’ response to the Da Boss are. 😂✌️

  7. Да, второму брату Линь и вдове повезло. Я надеюсь, в следующий раз родители Цин Хэ будут слишком стары, чтобы прийти и угрожать самоубийством.

  8. I am disappointed ML stepped in without first consulting with his wife. Not only is this her family, he doesn’t even know what baggage the MC is considering (that was described in last chapter) as for why she is making her decision.
