Chapter 139 -139: Can’t Pour the Water Out of My Brain
Lin Ran persuasively said, “I am a man, even though I didn’t protect you all before and made you suffer, I am genuinely trying to change. I am now capable of securing food for the three of us. We only have one daughter; I can’t bear to see her suffer by the fire anymore.”
“Whether it’s by the fire or not, our Feifei is a talented girl. Marrying Li Meng is also our daughter settling down. He won’t treat Feifei badly, right?” Song Yiru still failed to see anything wrong. Although she felt that her daughter was somewhat at a disadvantage with Li Meng, it was still the best option available now.
“It’s the apocalypse, our family has nothing left, there’s no such thing as marrying above or below one’s status now. You know to find a man who treats you well, so how come you don’t think about finding someone who would treat our daughter well? Have you lost your mind, agreeing to let her be with Li Meng? Didn’t you see the bruise on our daughter’s face that day? It was most likely from Li Meng; aren’t you harming our daughter?”
“How could I possibly harm my own daughter? I’m doing this for her sake. It’s the apocalypse, naturally, one must find a partner who can secure resources, what’s wrong with that? Feifei told me she accidentally bumped her face. Don’t make unfounded accusations.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng wanted to enter but couldn’t find a way in, and this Lin Feifei even baffled them, by being beaten up by that man and still covering it up in front of her parents, constantly clinging to him, truly abnormal.
Hearing Song Yiru’s words, Lin Ran became furious. Before Song Yiru could say anything else, he roared, “I have always pampered you, listened to you, but what are these thoughts of yours? Do you think Li Meng is sincere with Feifei? Do you think settling for this can last a lifetime? That man doesn’t have the slightest responsibility. He’s utterly amoral, a far cry from Yuan Jiang.”
On the other side, Song Yiru screamed, “Lin Ran, you have the nerve to mention Yuan Jiang, wasn’t it all because of your father? For the sake of Lin Mengmeng, you let Yuan Jiang leave Feifei. Although Lin Mengmeng has no parents around, she shouldn’t rob our Feifei’s fiancé, and not only did you not stop it, you even condoned your father. How could you let down our daughter?”
Lin Ran was furious, “Feifei and Yuan Jiang had no engagement; it was just our parents joking around. What era are we in, still arranging marriages? My dad made it very clear, Yuan Jiang and Mengmeng aren’t in that kind of relationship; they’re just trying to survive together.”
“Survive together? Why can’t they take Feifei with them? They left the three of us behind, can’t you see? Are you blind?”
“Why did my dad leave? Don’t you know? I can’t take care of my father for his old age and death, and you still blame me?”
“Your dad made his own choice; wouldn’t we take care of him if he came back?”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng felt really awkward at the door, but there was absolutely no break in the argument inside, and they were helpless, alright? But Mi Ti had come over, and they still wanted to find a way to get in, otherwise, they’d have to come again.
Inside, Lin Ran’s voice rose another notch, “Song Yiru, I’ve put up with you for a long time, don’t blame my dad who previously told me to choose a wise wife to avoid troubles. How did I end up marrying you, a troublemaker?”
Hearing this, Song Yiru exploded, “Lin Ran, you ungrateful wretch, when you pursued me, you said you liked my little willfulness, liked my little temper. Now you despise me for not being virtuous enough, you hypocrite, and your trouble-making father, talking behind my back? Wasn’t it initially because he valued my family’s capabilities? You ungrateful man, I’ll fight you.”
Subsequently, sounds of scuffling followed by smashing sounds echoed from the room, and a water cup was thrown out, its porcelain shards scattering far away, clearly indicating that the two had started fighting fiercely.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng exchanged a look, quietly carrying Mi Ti and slipping out the back door. At this moment, it really wasn’t possible to enter; it was a wasted trip, so they might as well wait a bit before coming back, just delivering what they came with before leaving.
The two also chatted idly about Lin Feifei’s situation on their way home, Li Meng’s behavior towards Lin Feifei was not out of love, at most it resembled keeping a pet. Seeing Li Meng slap Lin Feifei that day made it clear, he really struck with lethal intent, showing no concern for Lin Feifei. With such bitterness within their honeymoon period, one could only imagine what the future held.
They exchanged a few casual remarks and then got down to serious matters. They were leaving tomorrow, but there was still time to pack today. The benefit of having the “Space” was that there was hardly anything to pack. However, they still had to take some bundles and suitcases with them tomorrow; otherwise, people might get suspicious. Moreover, they had to take a bit more, as it would be hard to explain if they later took out more items from the “Space.”
So, the two of them took out some more stuff from the “Space,” mainly light items like clothes.
In the evening, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to Lin Ran’s house again to deliver food, knowing that they had to do the work since they had accepted the money.
However, upon arriving at the Lin family’s home, they found it even livelier than usual since Lin Feifei was also there.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng hurriedly knocked on the door to avoid any further arguments and wastage of time.
Lin Feifei trembled when she saw them, “What are you here for?” She was frightened because Li Meng had threatened her, warning her that if she caused any more trouble with Gu Pan and the others, he would kill her.
Although she was unaware of many things, she now truly dared not offend Gu Pan, fearing that Li Meng might indeed kill her.
She was not ignorant of the fact that Li Meng’s interest in her was not love but need. She dared not be too willful. Li Meng was not like Yuan Jiang, who could tolerate her temper. Li Meng required appeasing, and if Lin Feifei wanted to eat well, she had to appease him.
Gu Pan ignored Lin Feifei and said to Lin Ran, “May I have a word with you in private?” Seeing the scratch marks on Lin Ran’s face left by Song Yiru, she couldn’t help but marvel at how fierce the woman was.
Feeling slightly embarrassed about the claw marks on his face, Lin Ran touched his face and then said, “Let’s talk upstairs.”
Gu Pan agreed, and she went upstairs with Lu Ruisheng following Lin Ran.
Once upstairs in a study, Lu Ruisheng took a bag of rice out of his backpack and handed it to Lin Ran, “Your father asked me to give this to you when the time was right.”
This “right time” also meant avoiding those matters that couldn’t be mentioned.
Lin Ran was stunned by the amount of food, “How does my dad have so much food? Why did he leave? Do you know something?”
Lu Ruisheng replied, “To prevent the entire Lin family from perishing here, he’s gone to try his fortune and said he’d come back to fetch you if he succeeded.”
Hearing this, tears appeared in Lin Ran’s eyes, “My father still cares about me, but, but I’m sorry to him, my wife and daughter are such worries.”
He then pleaded with Gu Pan, “You’re a woman and about the same age as Feifei. Can you think of a way to keep her from being involved with that man from the Inner Circle? Those people couldn’t possibly have sincere feelings, and I’m truly afraid that one day Feifei might…”
He couldn’t bear to think of what those people might do. He desperately wanted Lin Feifei to come back. He was too ashamed to ask Gu Pan to persuade Lin Feifei directly, but he wanted to know if there was any way, now that they had this rice and could eat well for a long time. He still hoped that Lin Feifei wouldn’t get entangled with that Li Meng from the Inner Circle anymore.
