When Lin Laoyao arrived at the hospital room, only his elder brother and sister-in-law, along with their children Lin Cheng and Li Hua, were present. Without uttering a word, he placed a basket of fruits on the floor and knelt down. His dramatic entrance drew the attention of other patients and their families in the nearby beds.
“Brother,” he began, his voice choked with emotion, “my son, that rascal, has hurt you. I’ve failed in raising him properly. Please, don’t hold his actions against him. He’s still young. If he goes to prison, his life will be ruined!”
The four occupants of the room exchanged bewildered looks. They hadn’t even reported the incident to the police yet, was Lin Jie already arrested?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFather Lin looked at his younger brother kneeling before him, a man of his age, crying and begging. It left a bitter taste in his mouth. But he had promised his wife and daughter that he wouldn’t be lenient this time. So, he remained silent, turning his gaze to his wife.
Mother Lin knew her husband was softening, but she had made up her mind. She wouldn’t let this go easily, so she too remained silent.
Li Hua got up to refill the teapot with hot water, while Lin Cheng stepped forward, his voice filled with anger. “Uncle, can you dare to lift your head and look at the injuries on my father’s body? After seeing them, can you still beg us to forgive Lin Jie? We all have hearts, and you share the sblood with my father. How could Lin Jie have the heart to beat him like this?”
Lin Laoyao didn’t dare to look at his elder brother’s injuries. He had cto plead for his son, knowing his brother wouldn’t be so cruel as to send Lin Jie to prison. He believed that if he begged hard enough, his brother would relent.
“Lin Cheng,” he said, “I apologize on behalf of Lin Jie. If you have any resentment or anger, direct it at me. Hit me, scold me, as long as it makes you feel better. But please, brother, sister-in-law, spare Lin Jie. He can’t go to prison. I beg you. If you don’t agree, I’ll kneel here forever!”
“You can kneel as long as you want,” ca clear, crisp female voice from the entrance of the room. “But if it’s for repentance, please do it somewhere else. Your kneeling here is nothing more than an attempt to make us drop charges against Lin Jie. And lettell you, that’s not going to happen.”
As the voice faded, a handsyoung man and woman appeared in the room. It was Su Shen and Gu Zi.
Lin Laoyao fell silent for a moment, then turned to Gu Zi and Su Shen. “My dear niece, please forgive your cousin. He’s young and foolish. We’ve all had our reckless moments. Son-in-law, please persuade my niece. We’re all family, why must we resort to this?”
The family in the adjacent bed was lost in confusion, unsure of what exactly had transpired. But seeing the sincerity in the kneeling man’s apology, and hearing that they were brothers, they felt that the situation was indeed regrettable.
However, their sympathy was short-lived when they heard Gu Zi’s next words. “So, being young and reckless gives someone the right to break another person’s leg? If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was a deep-seated grudge between them. But the truth is, all this happened because you didn’t get the money you wanted…”
As Gu Zi spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. The family in the next bed finally understood that this was a dispute over money. They immediately sided with Gu Zi, thinking that Lin Laoyao deserved what he got. After all, it was his failure to discipline his son that had led to this situation.

But Lin Laoyao was stubborn. He continued to kneel outside the room.
After Lin Jie was arrested, the village committee received a call from the police station. They went to Lin Jie’s house to inform his family of his arrest.
Before they could reach Lin Jie’s house, they ran into Lin Jie’s mother and grandmother, who were rushing somewhere. The committee members told them about Lin Jie’s arrest.
The mother and grandmother were shocked to hear the news. They couldn’t believe that Lin Lao’er would be so ruthless. They immediately blamed Gu Zi, the newly found daughter of the family, for instigating this. They believed she was the one who lacked compassion.
Old Lady Lin decided to go to the hospital to confront Lin Lao’er and give Gu Zi a piece of her mind. She wanted to remind her who really called the shots in the Lin family.
Lin Laoyao’s wife and Old Lady Lin hurried to the city. When they arrived at the hospital and saw their beloved Lin Laoyao kneeling outside the room, their anger flared up. They wished they could strangle Gu Zi, the unfilial brat, on the spot..
