Chapter 368: The Punishment for Lin Laosan’s Family
Translator: Lonelytree
Lin Yuelan’s plan was to take revenge for Lin Mingqing. However, after analysis with Little Green, she realized that the person who wanted her dead the most was not Lin Laosan, Lin Daniu, or Lin Siniu. Instead, it was the honest-looking Lin Erniu. Why would Lin Yuelan be kind to someone who wanted to kill her?
But now, she would just watch the show.
She wanted to see the outcome of the argument between the three criminals.
Lin Erniu’s words caused Lin Laosan’s face to turn so dark that ink could drip from it.
His sons were really nice to him. Two both wanted to push the blame on him, their biological father. Without him, where would they be? However, once something bad happened, they wanted to cast aside their responsibilities and sacrifice their father.
Lin Laosan said sternly, “shut up!”
He glanced at his two sons with his sharp eyes and said coldly, “you’re really my good sons. Instead of absolving your father, you keep pushing the responsibility onto me.” He told Lin Daniu, “Don’t you know that you can’t get away from this responsibility no matter how hard you try? It’s undeniable that you were involved in the poisoning, and you can’t shirk your responsibility.” He immediately turned to Lin Erniu and shouted, “You might not have physically joined the activities, but you’re part of the murderers. There are witnesses now. No matter how you try to defend yourself, you can’t push the blame on your father and your brother. On the contrary, you are the real mastermind, while your father and your brother are just accomplices. Therefore, the one who should bear the responsibility is you!”
In comparison to Lin Daniu, Lin Erniu was the one who truly made Lin Laosan angry and sad.
He was the one who incited them to harm Lin Yiwei and Lin Mingqing. But now he wanted to throw them under the bus.
Therefore, Lin Laosan was very angry. Since Lin Erniu didn’t acknowledge him as his father, then fine, he would denounce him as his son too.
Lin Erniu’s face turned pale, and he was dumbfounded.
When he finally reacted, he cried out bitterly in his heart, ‘oh no!’
When he was quarreling with his big brother, he shouldn’t have implicated his father. Now, he had offended his own father, which was very unfavorable to him.
Based on what Lin Laosan said, it sounded like Lin Laosan wanted to sacrifice him and save Lin Daniu.
Of course, he wouldn’t allow that.
Lin Erniu immediately said anxiously, “father, how can you do this? That’s right, I was the one who suggested it, but it’s up to you whether you want to listen or not. Oh, no, father, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have suggested this, and I shouldn’t have asked father to dig a hole…”
Lin Laosan felt a little better after hearing these words. At least, Erniu still had some conscience left.
“I was only suggesting it back then to big brother. I suggested that we could drug the horse, but I didn’t suggest that we dig out a hole. Big Brother was the one who was worried that drugging the horse was not enough, and he said we should go for the kill. Therefore, we should do more than just drugging the horse. He suggested that we dig a hole on the road so that the carriage could topple over. Therefore, father, if there’s the main culprit, big brother is the one!”
This was why Lin Erniu was clever. While pleasing his father, he immediately shifted the blame to Lin Daniu. There were only three of them, and one had to be sacrificed. If Lin Erniu had Lin Laosan on his side, then they could easily sacrifice Lin Daniu.
Therefore, he shifted the blame away from Lin Laosan and placed it on Lin Daniu.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Lin Daniu immediately stomped his feet as he pointed at Lin Erniu and scolded, “Lin Erniu, you’re a real bastard! Do you still have a conscience? When we were young, I’d share everything with you. But now, you are doing your best to frame your big brother!”
