Chapter 193 A Flock of Birds Gathered in the Courtyard, Courting Death! Lin Fan, Enraged, Overwhelme
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon.
Lin Fan lay half-reclined on the rocking chair, closing his eyes to rest.
Cerberus was snoring softly and rhythmically, like thunder, in my ear.
Zhang Sanfeng was hoeing the vegetable garden, his movements gentle yet imbued with a Daoist charm.
Inside the kitchen, Fang Qingxue and her cousins were preparing afternoon tea, with occasional soft laughter drifting through the air.
Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
However, this peace was soon shattered.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
A rapid and deliberate knocking suddenly erupted, carrying an undeniable aggressiveness.
The knocking was louder and more urgent than He Yuzhu's last night, as if afraid the person inside wouldn't hear it.
Lin Fan's furrowed brows betrayed his displeasure.
These people are really persistent.
Upon hearing the sound, Fang Qingxue put down her tea set and walked straight to the gate.
She peeked through the crack in the door and saw a group of people standing outside.
She turned around and whispered to Lin Fan, "Sir, they are neighbors from the next courtyard."
Lin Fan lazily replied, "Okay, let them in."
"Stop sneaking around outside all the time."
Following Lin Fan's instructions, Fang Qingxue pushed open the heavy door.
Outside the door, He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, Uncle Yan Bugui, Uncle Liu Haizhong, and even Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng squeezed in the back.
The group arrived in a grand procession, more to demand an explanation than to visit.
As soon as He Yuzhu saw Fang Qingxue open the door, his face immediately plastered with a fawning smile, and he bowed repeatedly, saying, "Oh, fairy lady, hello, hello!"
"We thought that since the weather is nice today, we should come and pay a visit to Mr. Lin."
Qin Huairu forced a smile, carrying a basket of washed apples, her eyes filled with a barely perceptible shyness and tentativeness: "Is Mr. Lin home?"
"Let's come and take a look."
Xu Damao appeared lazy and casual, but his eyes unconsciously wandered around the courtyard, trying to find out something.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, and the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, walked in slowly with stern faces and hands behind their backs, their eyes filled with scrutiny and calculation.
Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng hid behind the crowd, their eyes darting around as they furtively peered inside.
Fang Qingxue looked at the group of people, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.
She knew these people were up to no good.
She didn't say much, but simply stepped aside to let them in.
As the group stepped into the courtyard, the scene before them stunned them into silence.
They had assumed that Lin Fan's courtyard house would be as dilapidated as the one next door.
But what lies before us is a completely different world.
The yard was clean and spotless.
The vegetable garden was lush and green, with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables filling the air, and every vegetable looked so plump that it seemed to be dripping with moisture.
In the corner, the tall and majestic World Tree, with its lush branches and leaves, exudes a refreshing and invigorating vitality.
And then there was that group of "foreigners" dressed in strange clothes; some were wiping doors and windows, some were busy in the vegetable garden, and some were working methodically in the kitchen.
Everyone looked so energetic and full of vigor, exuding an aura of extraordinary refinement.
Looking at this scene, He Yuzhu felt a surge of intense envy and jealousy.
He felt last night that Mr. Lin's house was unusual, but he never expected it to be such a paradise!
This is simply heaven on earth!
Qin Huairu was also stunned.
She had never seen such an exquisite courtyard, nor had she ever seen such an ethereal person.
Her curiosity about Lin Fan grew stronger.
Xu Damao, on the other hand, had a greedy expression on his face, staring intently at every corner of the courtyard, wishing he could possess everything there.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, and the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, had solemn expressions and were rapidly calculating in their minds.
Who exactly is this Mr. Lin?
Does he have some amazing treasure hidden in his house?
Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng's eyes darted around, unconsciously glancing at the vegetable patch, as if looking for an opportunity to strike.
Lin Fan looked at the ugly state of everyone and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He hates it when people sneak around in his house.
He opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping coldly over the crowd: "What are you all standing there for?"
"Never seen the world before?"
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.
Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts when his gaze swept over them, and they quickly composed themselves.
He Yuzhu immediately bowed, his fawning smile widening: "Oh, Mr. Lin, hello, hello!"
"We're just a little stunned by how beautiful your yard is."
Qin Huairu quickly handed over the basket of apples in her hand: "Mr. Lin, these are apples that we grew ourselves. They're not worth much. Please have some."
Lin Fan remained silent.
He glanced at the apple basket briefly, then looked back at them.
He knew that these people had no good intentions in coming here.
"Just say what's on your mind," Lin Fan said in a low voice. "Don't beat around the bush."
Lin Fan's words made everyone's hearts tighten.
They knew that Mr. Lin was not easily fooled.
He Yuzhu quickly explained, "Oh dear, Mr. Lin, what are you saying?"
"We just came over for a casual visit, to catch up with you and strengthen our relationship."
"Build relationships?" Lin Fan sneered. "What relationships do I have with you to build?"
Lin Fan's words froze He Yuzhu's smile on his face, leaving him extremely embarrassed.
He knew that Mr. Lin didn't take him seriously at all.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward, a hint of grievance on her face: "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand."
"We came here specifically to say hello since you've just moved here and don't know anyone yet."
"Moreover, our hamster hasn't been feeling well lately; he's been coughing a lot."
"I heard from Shazhu that the porridge your family made last night was especially delicious, and that it made me feel better after drinking it."
"I was wondering if you have some secret recipe that you could make some for the 'bang geng' too?"
As Qin Huairu spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Lin Fan.
This was the only excuse she could use to get close to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan frowned upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He hates it when people use children as an excuse.
He scoffed, "A secret recipe?"
"What secret recipe do I have at home?"
"The food I cook at home is all simple, home-style cooking."
"If your child has a cough, then take him to see a doctor. Don't make a fuss here."
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Qin Huairu's face turned pale upon hearing his words, and a sense of grievance welled up in her heart.
Upon seeing this, Xu Damao quickly stepped forward, his face full of flattery: "Mr. Lin, please don't be angry."
"Sister Qin is also concerned about the children."
"Look, your house is so big, with so many people living there, you certainly don't lack food."
"We were just thinking, your home-cooked meals smell so good, could we share some with you?"
"We're not just here for free; we can help you with the work."
As Xu Damao spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the vibrant vegetable patch.
He thought to himself that if he could get some good food from Mr. Lin, he would be making a fortune.
Lin Fan felt a little amused after hearing Xu Damao's words.
These people really have their eyes on him.
He sneered, "Help with the work?"
"What kind of work can you do for me?"
"Everyone in my family is capable."
"We don't need you mortals."
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's smile froze instantly, and a sense of displeasure welled up inside him.
Seeing this, Uncle Yan Bugui and Uncle Liu Haizhong also stepped forward.
"Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand," said Uncle Yan Bugui. "We're just worried that you have too many people in your family and we're afraid you won't be able to manage everything."
"As neighbors, we should help each other."
"Besides, there are rules in our courtyard," Uncle Liu Haizhong added. "New neighbors are expected to get along well with the old neighbors."
"You see, you've just moved in, shouldn't you treat us old neighbors to a meal to reconnect?"
As Uncle Liu Haizhong spoke, a bureaucratic expression appeared on his face.
He thought to himself, "Mr. Lin is so rich, he definitely won't refuse my request."
Hearing their words, Lin Fan felt a surge of impatience.
These people really have their eyes on him.
He scoffed, "Rules?"
"In my family, the rule is my decision."
"My family members are none of your business, you mortals."
"If you have nothing else to say, get out of here!"
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
When Uncle Yan Bugui and Uncle Liu Haizhong were told this, their faces turned pale and a sense of displeasure welled up in their hearts.
Upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately became displeased.
Seeing that Lin Fan was rude to Qin Huairu and Xu Damao, she immediately felt that Lin Fan was a bad person.
She immediately stepped forward, pointed at Lin Fan's nose, and began to hurl insults: "You little brat!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to us like that?"
"With so many foreigners living in your house, are you up to some shady business?"
"Do you believe I'll report you?"
As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she tried to grab Lin Fan's clothes.
Looking at Jia Zhangshi's ugly, shrewish behavior, Lin Fan felt an extreme sense of disgust.
He hates women who are unreasonable and argumentative the most.
He snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly narrowing.
An invisible aura erupted from him instantly, as powerful as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, instantly engulfing Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi felt as if her body was being crushed by Mount Tai, her chest was suffocated, her limbs were stiff, and she couldn't even move.
Her throat felt blocked; she opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with extreme fear.
A feeling of suffocation instantly overwhelmed me, as if death itself had gripped my throat.
In the courtyard, everyone was taken aback by Lin Fan's sudden display of power.
He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, Uncle San, and Uncle Er were all terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling like leaves.
They had never seen Lin Fan angry, nor had they ever seen him possess such a terrifying aura.
They then realized that Lin Fan was not the ordinary person they had imagined.
Fang Qingxue and her cousins, on the other hand, had expressions of complete indifference.
They knew that the man's patience had run out.
Lin Fan looked coldly at Jia Zhangshi, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority: "Dare to shout in my house again."
"I'll throw you out to feed the dogs."
When Lin Fan said that, Jia Zhangshi was so frightened that she was terrified, and all that was left in her eyes was endless fear.
She felt like she had just escaped death.
Lin Fan withdrew his aura, and Jia Zhangshi immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.
Lin Fan coldly glanced at everyone: "I'll say it again."
"Get out of here if you have nothing else to do!"
Everyone was terrified by what Lin Fan said.
They knew Mr. Lin wasn't joking.
He Yuzhu quickly pulled up Jia Zhangshi, who was slumped on the ground, and they scrambled out of the room.
Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, Uncle San, and Uncle Er also slunk away from Lin Fan's courtyard house.
After everyone left, the courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
Lin Fan watched their hurried retreating figures, a sense of displeasure rising in his heart.
These people are really ruining my mood.
He sighed softly and lay back down in the rocking chair.
He knew that these people would definitely not let this go.
But he believed that as long as he was strong enough, he could keep all the troubles out.
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy this rare moment of peace.
