Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 194 - 193: You Want to Take Advantage? I’ll Wipe Out Your Whole Nest!
The light in the room was somewhat dim.
Gu Ning was already asleep, her small mouth moving occasionally, as if she were eating something delicious in her dream.
Lin Wan Yi sat by the bed and gently rolled up her daughter’s sleeve, which resembled a lotus root stalk.
The bruise, purple and blue, looked particularly hideous on the fair skin.
Lin Wan Yi didn’t say a word.
She drew a drop of spiritual spring water from the space, touched it with her fingertip, and gently applied it to the bruise.
A cool sensation seeped into her skin.
Visible to the naked eye, the purple and blue began to fade, dispersing, leaving only a faint red mark.
Though the wound could be healed.
This grievance, however, could not be swallowed.
Gu Lan, standing nearby, was so angry she was in tears, clutching a rag and rubbing the table noisily.
"Sister-in-law, should I go scold that old hag tomorrow? Otherwise, I can’t stand it!"
Lin Wan Yi took a warm towel and wiped Gu Ning’s face.
"Scold her?"
"For someone like her, the more you scold, the more spirited she becomes. She can roll on the ground for three days and nights, letting the whole school see the spectacle."
"By that time, it’ll be us who are embarrassed."
Gu Lan threw the rag into the basin.
"So we just let it go? Ningning got hit for nothing?"
Lin Wan Yi stood up, walked to the desk, and spread out a sheet of letter paper.
She picked up a fountain pen and filled it with ink.
"Of course not."
"With unreasonable people, reasoning doesn’t work."
"You have to use the law."
"You have to talk about rules."
The pen in Lin Wan Yi’s hand hit the paper, making a rustling sound.
The first line of words was written forcefully:
"Suggestions on the Environmental Safety and Scientific Research Assurance of Beijing University’s Faculty Dormitory Area."
Gu Lan leaned over for a look and scratched her head.
"Sister-in-law, why are you writing this? What does it have to do with Zhang Guilan?"
Lin Wan Yi didn’t look up, her pen moving swiftly.
"Because this is Beijing University."
"Those living here aren’t ordinary family members, they are professors hired by the country with large sums, they are the future pillars of the nation."
She wrote the last line, capped the pen.
"Zhang Guilan’s unauthorized construction not only occupied public land but also blocked the fire passage."
"Most importantly,"
"Her grandson’s noise affected Professor Liu’s calculations for the atomic bomb data."
Lin Wan Yi folded the letter paper and put it in an envelope.
"Tomorrow, I’ll let her know what ’for national security’ really means."
...
Early the next morning.
Lin Wan Yi deliberately changed into a sharp Lenin suit, her hair neatly combed.
She didn’t go to the classroom but went straight to the administrative building’s school affairs office.
The director of the school affairs office, surnamed Zhao, was busy dealing with a pile of paperwork.
"Knock knock."
"Come in."
Lin Wan Yi walked in and gently placed the letter on Director Zhao’s desk.
"Director Zhao, I am a student of Dean Li from the Agriculture Department, Lin Wan Yi."
When Director Zhao heard she was a protegee of Dean Li, he immediately put down his teacup.
"Ah, it’s Xiao Lin, what’s the matter? Is there a problem with housing?"
Lin Wan Yi shook her head and pushed the letter she brought over.
"The housing is great, I’m very grateful for the school’s care."
"However, as a junior, I’ve noticed some issues that might affect several professors’ research work, and I felt it necessary to report to the organization."
Director Zhao picked up the letter with a puzzled expression and took a look.
His expression changed immediately upon reading it.
Bang!
He slapped the letter onto the desk.
"That Zhang Guilan! Simply outrageous!"
"Unauthorized constructions blocking half of the fire passage? Raising chickens in the yard?"
"And creating noise next to Professor Liu?"
Director Zhao stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Who is Professor Liu?
He’s the treasure of the Physics Department!
If the wrong data is calculated due to noise and the lab explodes, what then?
Who could bear such responsibility?
"Xiao Lin, your report is very timely!"
Director Zhao picked up the phone and directly dialed the logistics department.
"Hello! Is that Old Chen?"
"Bring your men, bring tools, head to the faculty dormitory immediately!"
"Yes! Demolish it!"
"Whether it’s a shed or a chicken coop, anything blocking the way, demolish it!"
"What? Afraid of the family causing trouble?"
"Tell them! It’s to ensure the safety of national key scientific research projects! If anyone dares to cause trouble, have the security department take them away!"
After hanging up the phone.
Director Zhao shook Lin Wan Yi’s hand vigorously.
"Xiao Lin, your awareness is very high! If there’s any situation in the future, come directly to me!"
Lin Wan Yi slightly bowed.
"As is my duty, I just don’t want the professors’ hard work to be disturbed."
Exiting the administrative building.
Lin Wan Yi looked at the far blue sky and adjusted her collar.
The sunshine was splendid.
...
Faculty dormitory.
Zhang Guilan was sitting in her unauthorized shed at home, peeling peanuts for Zhuangzhuang to eat.
This shed was sneakily built by her son when she first arrived.
Occupied a passage outside, just right for her grandson to use as a game room, and could also store some miscellaneous items.
"Grandma, I still want that red fruit." Zhuangzhuang shouted while chewing on peanuts.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!"
Zhang Guilan spat a sunflower seed shell onto the ground.
"When the adults from that family are not home in a couple of days, grandma will get it for you."
As soon as she finished speaking.
A sudden noise of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
Immediately, a loud shout followed.
"It’s this house! Demolish it!"
Zhang Guilan hadn’t yet reacted when she saw several burly men in work clothes rushing over with sledgehammers and shovels.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Scared, Zhang Guilan scattered the peanuts in her hands all over the ground.
"This is illegal entry! I’m going to call the police to arrest you!"
Old Chen, the head of logistics, with a cold face, took out a document with a red stamp.
"Zhang Guilan, right?"
"We received a report that your home illegally constructed a building, seriously obstructing the fire passage, posing a major safety hazard!"
"According to school regulations, it must be forcibly demolished!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand.
"Do it!"
"Crash!"
A sledgehammer slammed hard into the pillar of the shed.
Those were a few rotten pieces of wood picked up from somewhere, they couldn’t withstand such force.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
"My shed!"
Zhang Guilan screamed miserably and rushed to hug the pillar.
"I can’t live anymore! You’re trying to force this widow and orphan to death!"
"I’ve had this shed for half a year, why demolish it just like that!"
Old Chen was not buying it at all.
Two workers came up, one left, one right, lifting her away like a chick.
"Why?"
Old Chen pointed to the wall of Professor Liu’s courtyard next door.
"Because your crappy shed is blocking the way! Because your grandson screams and cries here every day, affecting a national expert’s research!"
"I’m telling you, if you dare to obstruct it again, that’s obstructing research, and you’ll go to jail for that!"
Upon hearing the word "jail,"
Zhang Guilan went weak in the legs.
She slumped to the ground, watching as the workers swung the sledgehammers.
Ping pong bang bang!
In less than ten minutes.
The "grandson’s game room" she was so proud of turned into a pile of ruins.
The dust raised choked her, making her cough continuously.
Zhuangzhuang was scared to tears, hiding behind the door, not daring to come out.
The surrounding neighbors all came out.
Watching this scene, none came over to intervene.
Instead, they were all pointing and discussing.
"Serves them right! It should have been demolished a long time ago!"
"The road was already narrow, and her family took up half of it. Last time I couldn’t even push my bike through."
"Exactly, chopping vegetables in the middle of the night every day, making it impossible for people to sleep."
Professor Liu from the Physics Department stood at the door with his hands behind his back, gazing at the collapsed shed, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Now, the world is peaceful."
He turned his head to the side.
Lin Wan Yi was standing at her courtyard gate, holding a small spray bottle, watering the strawberries.
Her expression was indifferent, as if everything happening here had nothing to do with her.
Zhang Guilan, her face full of dust and hair disheveled.
She saw Lin Wan Yi.
In an instant, she understood everything.
"It’s you!"
Zhang Guilan got up from the ground, pointing at Lin Wan Yi, her fingers trembling.
"You’re the one who reported it! You’re the one who harmed me!"
Lin Wan Yi stopped what she was doing.
She turned around, looking at the embarrassed Zhang Guilan across the low wall.
No ridicule, no pride.
She just spoke very calmly.
"Sister in law Zhang."
"This is Beijing University, a place of civility and rules."
"As neighbors, we should empathize with one another."
"If you think I’m wrong, you could write a suggestion letter."
"Provided, that you can write."
These words were more hurtful than insults.
A round of low laughter rose around.
Zhang Guilan was illiterate, even her own name was written crookedly, how could she write a suggestion letter?
She was so angry her chest was heaving, she nearly fainted from gasping.
"You... just wait!"
She spat out a harsh phrase and retreated dejectedly into her dust-filled house.
"Bang" went the door as it closed.
And so, the world was finally quiet.
Gu Lan stood behind Lin Wan Yi, her eyes glowing with admiration.
"Sister-in-law! You’re amazing!"
"Yesterday I wanted to use a stick to fight her but didn’t succeed, and you got her shed demolished with just a few words!"
"This is what you call winning without a fight!"
Lin Wan Yi smiled, handing her the spray bottle.
"Go mix the milk powder for Ningning."
"Oh, and add an extra meal for dinner, send some strawberries over to the professors."
"Got it!"
