silent age

When Bai Sihuan came to the door, the servant opened it, and a scruffy-dressed child walked in waddlingly, looking around.

Seeing Bai Sihuan, Bai Yuancheng didn't show much happiness, he raised his head and called "Brother", as if he should have come to this place in the first place, and seeing Bai Sihuan just happened to meet an acquaintance.

He just finished yelling, when Bai Sihuan suddenly felt something rush by his feet.When she realized it, Karen rushed to Bai Yuancheng and barked wildly.It's not that Bai Sihuan has never heard Karen barking before, but he rarely hears it barking so fiercely. The last time I saw it barking so fiercely was when Gu Zhen designed Lin Heng.

Bai Yuancheng took two steps back, looking at the dog barking at him, he didn't show any fear, and even asked: "Why is this dog so fierce? Who taught him?"

The servant next to her pouted, coaxing Karen while leading the dog away.Bai Sihuan felt that his younger brother's tone made him a little embarrassed, and he couldn't afford to scold him for it.He sighed and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Bai Yuancheng was dissatisfied with this inquiry: "Why can't I come if you can?"

"Mom didn't know you were coming?"

"Of course I can't let her know. She keeps forcing me to enroll in Mathematical Olympiad classes. I'm getting bored to death! What's the use of learning that kind of thing? It's a waste of money, why don't you use it to do something interesting." Bai Yuancheng interrupted Said stooping.

Bai Sihuan frowned, realizing something: "You took the money your mother gave you to enroll in classes and spent it everywhere?"

As if being hit, Bai Yuancheng lowered his head and coughed, rubbing his nose: "To tell you the truth, brother, I spent all of my mother's money, and I will be scolded to death by her if I go back like this? Can you... ?”

Bai Sihuan understood what he meant, groped in his pocket, found out the several hundred yuan that Lin Huan had given him this morning, and stuffed it into Bai Yuancheng's hand: "I only have these, take it and go back quickly."

Having been in the Lin family for so many years, Bai Sihuan still couldn't get rid of the feeling of being dependent on others. Cheng Sutang had a bad temper. If he asked Bai Yuancheng to stay or go in for a sit-down, he didn't know what would happen, so he could only persuade him to go home quickly.

"Thank you brother!" Bai Yuancheng held the money tightly, but he was not in a hurry, walking around the entrance hall.

Bai Sihuan wanted to persuade him to leave again, but at this moment, Lin Heng came out of the living room and asked from a distance: "Brother, what are you doing here, why haven't you gone in for so long?"

When he came to Bai Sihuan's side, Lin Heng caught a glimpse of Bai Yuancheng, and saw that although he was a young brat, he had a hideous appearance, which made people feel completely unfavorable.

Lin Heng even wondered, how could such a good-looking person like Bai Sihuan have such a brother with a sharp mouth, cheeks, and eyebrows?What kind of species was his mother born to?

Sensing the unfriendly gaze, Bai Yuancheng looked at Lin Heng curiously: "Who is this?"

Bai Sihuan said, "You also have to call him brother."

Bai Yuancheng said "Oh" indifferently.

Lin Heng turned around and walked back, and said coolly: "It's all here, let me let you in and sit for a while."

Walking to the middle hall, seeing the Lin couple who had just finished breakfast and were about to go out, Bai Yuancheng immediately stood up straight, respectfully and flatteringly, and bowed twice: "Hello Uncle Lin, Mrs. Lin, my name is Bai Yuancheng, and I am Bai Sihuan's relative. younger brother."

Hearing his emphasis on a "brother", Lin Heng snorted coldly, and interjected: "It's the same as someone who is not relative."

Although he spoke nicely and had a respectful attitude, Cheng Sutang still didn't have a good face.Lin Huan, on the other hand, smiled at the son of his old love. Before leaving, he said in front of his family and servants: "Since you are here, let's stay here for a few days. Old Pei, please treat me well." He, let him treat this place as his own home!"

Cheng Sutang was not happy, and said sourly: "If one moves in, he brings the other to live in too. Will the whole family move into Lin's house tomorrow?"

Lin Huan comforted him: "Sutang, this is Sihuan's younger brother after all."

"Heh, this is still that woman's son. If Shinichi and everyone move in, it's just what you want, isn't it?"

Lin Huan turned his face away in embarrassment, and told Lin Siying: "Your mother and I are going to Hong Kong for a few days, you take care of this home, don't go out and wander around!"

Lin Siying pretended to be obedient and replied: "Oh, I see."

After explaining the matter, Lin Huan said enthusiastically to Bai Yuancheng again: "Live well here, have fun, ah. Just treat this place as your home, and if you need anything, find servants and Lao Pei!"

"Hey! Thank you uncle!" Bai Yuancheng nodded happily.

Bai Sihuan was very worried when he saw Bai Yuancheng, who was only 11 years old, like this.

When walking back to the living room, Lin Heng suddenly put Bai Sihuan's shoulders on his shoulders and hugged him vigorously.

Bai Sihuan groaned in pain, and looked at him inexplicably.

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "You have quite a few brothers."

Bai Sihuan muttered in a low voice, "It's not what I like."

Lin Huan said to let Bai Yuancheng treat this place as his own home, and Bai Yuancheng did so, making it easier for him to summon those servants than Lin Heng.All day long, he is lazy and arrogant, and he sits fearlessly in the special seat for Cheng Sutang in the sun room, and even swims in the swimming pool in the middle of the night. After hearing that the Lin family has a racecourse, he has to ask the servant to take him to the racecourse. The horse refused to let him go up, but he insisted on teaching the horse a lesson.

The servant wanted to stop him, so he put on airs: "I think you don't want to do it anymore! Your husband wants me to treat this place as my own home. Don't you listen to your husband? I will tell him when he comes back!"

Bai Sihuan told him several times, but he not only ignored him, but even lost his temper at Bai Sihuan.

In front of Lin Siying, Bai Yuancheng had a good-natured voice, talking about his eldest brother, which made Lin Siying feel embarrassed to say anything about him.

Over the past few days, Lin Heng kept a cold face, talked less and often lost his mind.At first, Bai Sihuan thought it was Bai Yuancheng's presence that made him uncomfortable, until today, he wanted to ask Lin Heng what happened, but he heard Lin Heng say something nonsense: "I used to think that maybe one day the second sister can come back .” After a pause for a second, he continued, “Now I just hope she never comes back in this life.”

Bai Sihuan once thought that the whole family had forgotten Lin Xianyan, and Lin Heng was the first one to forget.But I didn't expect that after so long, Lin Heng would still mention this second sister.It's just that what Lin Heng said really confuses him.

Lin Siying probably heard these words, and he walked towards Lin Heng: "Come out with me."

"Where?"

"Go to Panyu Road to buy peanuts."

"Don't go."

"If you don't go, you have to go, let's go." Lin Siying grabbed Lin Heng's arm and left.

The two of them went out for less than half an hour, when Lin Musheng came to Lin's house.The servants all went to take their lunch break, and the only doorkeeper didn't know where to be lazy, and the one who opened the door for her was Bai Sihuan.

When he saw Lin Musheng, Bai Sihuan was startled.

The left side of Lin Musheng's face was swollen, the corners of his eyes were blue, and the corner of his mouth was cut. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.

Lin Siying often said that her husband was not a thing, and beat her often, and once beat her so hard that she was hospitalized.Bai Sihuan thought, these injuries should be caused by her husband.

Lin Musheng first asked where the family members had gone, and when she learned that no one was watching, she asked Bai Sihuan: "Do you know where the key to the study is?"

Bai Sihuan shook his head, Lin Musheng didn't continue to ask, and went straight to the utility room to search for the key.

"Eldest sister, isn't it good for you to be like this?" Bai Sihuan knew that the study room was a place to hide money, and every time the elder sister came back to the Lin family, she only wanted money.Now that no one in the family is here, she took the money away, but when asked afterwards, he didn't have to explain it.

Lin Musheng didn't care about his dissuasion, he ran to the storage room if he didn't find a spare key in the utility room.Searching one after another, rummaging through drawer after drawer.

Bai Sihuan followed behind her, saying what he needed to say, but he didn't know how to stop him.

Lin Musheng found half of the keys, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Bai Sihuan, "Come with me."

Bai Sihuan was taken aback, seeing her turn her head and walking towards the sunshine room, and hurriedly followed her.

"There is a cellar behind the sunshine room. The servants only count the things in it every six months. This is still far from their counting days. If I take some things away, they won't find out." Lin Musheng said as he walked, and suddenly paused , adding, "By the time they find out, you should be in college too, and you can't be blamed."

Bai Sihuan insisted that no, Lin Musheng simply acted pitifully, pointing to the wounds on his face and said: "Did you see these wounds on my face? This is a lesson he taught me. If you don't help me today, I will be beaten when I go back." Die. A little money is nothing to the Lin family, and it is just a trivial matter to you, but to me, if I don’t get the money I need, I will die! I swear , I will only take one thing, and there is no loss to the Lin family! If you are worried, go with me and watch carefully. "

Bai Sihuan couldn't bear Lin Musheng's runny nose and tears, so he finally gave up trying to stop him and followed Lin Musheng silently.

Just as Bai Yuancheng came out of the guest room, he was worried that all his remaining savings had been spent, when he saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he quietly followed.

Coming to the back of the sunshine room, Bai Sihuan saw a door hidden under the grape arbor. The door is not small, but it is usually hidden by flowers and vines, so it is not easy to be found.

Half a meter away from the door, Lin Musheng stopped and begged Bai Sihuan: "Help me open that door, that door is too heavy for me to pull."

Bai Sihuan hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't stand Lin Musheng's repeated pleas, and went up to open the door.

After ventilating the basement for a while, Lin Musheng ran down decisively.About 10 minutes later, she came out holding a painting tightly wrapped in oilcloth.

Bai Sihuan seemed to have a bad premonition, and asked, "Sister, what did you take?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing important, it's just a broken painting that the Lin family doesn't want. It's okay, I have to go back quickly." Stepping on the door, he took two steps away, and Lin Musheng turned back again, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. Bai Sihuan said: "Don't tell your family that I've been here, okay? Give the elder sister a little bit of dignity for the last time."

Bai Sihuan hesitated for a while, then nodded.Lin Musheng let out a sigh of relief, and hurried away.Seeing this, Bai Yuancheng, who was hiding in the dark, quickly squatted into the flowers.

Lin Musheng walked in a hurry, and the key was left by the cellar door.When Bai Sihuan picked up the key and ran out, Lin Musheng had already gone a long way, leaving only a thumb-sized back.

Bai Sihuan ran towards her, and saw a man in the distance to meet her by the flower garden outside the villa, the two chatted for a while, the man took the painting with one hand, and kicked and hit her while grabbing Lin Musheng's hair with the other.

Bai Sihuan was startled, and ran faster, trying to stop the man from punching and kicking the elder sister.

From a distance, I heard the man yelling loudly: "I told you to get the money! You've been there for so long! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! What's wrong? What's wrong with me scolding you or hitting you twice? Let me tell you, Lin Musheng, you have a fucking broken shoe! I don’t know how many people have worn it down before giving it to me! When we get married, we don’t know who will suffer! What kind of noble young lady are you still pretending to be? You are outside Who doesn’t know about that species? You’re still feeling wronged now, aren’t you?”

"Stop!" Bai Sihuan was born thin and weak, but this time he didn't know where the strength came from, but he pushed a tall man away abruptly.

It's just that the majesty was still there for less than half a minute, the man suddenly kicked over and kicked him on the ground: "Who the hell are you! Get away! Don't force me to teach you a lesson!"

Seeing that the man seemed to want to go up and beat Bai Sihuan, Lin Musheng quickly hugged his waist and dragged him back: "Okay! Let's go! Let's go!"

The man was not very angry at first, but when he was stopped like this, he became angry.He directly slapped Lin Musheng and greeted him: "Who is this person? Your concubine? You are fucking good enough to eat something so tender! I must beat him to death today!"

Lin Musheng hurriedly explained: "He is my younger brother!"

The man sneered: "Your brother? You pretend I don't know what's going on in your family? You're just a younger brother!"

The "a younger brother" in the man's mouth seemed to expose some big secret of Lin Musheng, and Lin Musheng froze in place like a lightning strike.

As soon as she froze, the man immediately raised his fist and punched Bai Sihuan, Bai Sihuan gritted his teeth and was also furious, he stood up and fought the man desperately.Although the man was weak and could only be beaten, he punched him a few times with a strong force.

It's just that Bai Sihuan was really no match for a man with a strong physique, and he was powerless to fight back after the fight.

At this moment, suddenly a bag of hot fried peanuts hit the man's face from behind. The man let out a cry of pain, closed his eyes and fell back a few steps. kick.

When the man opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, his fierce expression immediately changed, and he suddenly felt guilty.He wanted to ask his wife to plead with Lin Heng, but found that Lin Musheng had already run away with the painting.

Lin Heng pointed at him, obviously very angry, but his tone was cold: "Liu Sheng, you are very courageous."

Liu Sheng was so frightened that he backed away again and again. Lin Heng had practiced a little since he was a child, and his temper exploded again. He had seen how hard he beat people.In the past, when he was young, he could beat him all over the floor, let alone now.

Lin Heng was about to rush over to repay what he had done to Bai Sihuan just now, Lin Siying immediately stopped him: "Lin Heng, forget it, look at the place." Pulling Lin Heng, Lin Siying glared at Liu Sheng, not He said politely, "Hurry up and get out, what are you still doing here?"

If Liu Sheng was granted an amnesty, he ran away. After running not far, Lin Siying stopped him again: "Wait a minute."

Liu Sheng stopped and looked at Lin Siying tremblingly.

"Go back and tell Eldest Sister not to come to Lin's house again. And you too."
