The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 216 The Price of Growth

What my sister meant was that if that happened, you would be killed by the villagers, and then only Wang Jun and I would be left in this family. They would not let Xiao Hei go either. I was just too afraid of losing you. It is really not easy to form this family with you now."

"But Xiao Hei didn't act impulsively. He just frightened her for a moment and that was it."

Wang Lin didn’t know what Shen Yan meant by asking this, but indeed, Wang Lin had never thought about it at all.

Shen Yan was also cautious. Although she also hated, the past life was the past life. She did not remember the original owner's memories of the previous life and only lived based on her own memories of the past life, so she did not hate as much as Wang Lin.

So when doing many things, Shen Yan still maintained a Buddhist attitude. She was not so obsessed and never thought about revenge. She just wanted to live her own life well and let her two children grow up well.

"Well, did you clean the blood off Little Black's paws?"

This question confused Wang Lin, and he shook his head.

"No."

"Mo Xiaohai has been saying that the beast is after him. Although no one believes it, if someone really finds out about Xiao Hei's existence, what should we do? We won't be like this now, just waiting for our family to be destroyed."

Although Xiao Hei was raised by Wang Lin, it is still a ferocious beast after all, and the village here is relatively isolated. If a wild beast kills someone, it will definitely be executed, let alone a ferocious beast like Xiao Hei. Not to mention the Mo family, even people in the village who have a bad relationship with the Mo family have to do the same. When a wild beast appears, it may bring disaster to themselves, and no one is not afraid.

Wang Lin was a little confused. Although she was still young, she remembered the memories of her past life. In this life, she just wanted revenge and made those who bullied her and her sister in the past life pay the price.

Ever since Shen Yan's father died, no one seemed to dare to mention anything related to wild beasts. Everyone has witnessed how ferocious wild beasts are, so people in the village are afraid of them. No matter how kind Xiao Hei is, that is only because they have been together day and night. What about other people?

No one would not be afraid. If someone really found Xiao Hei, he would either die or leave the village quickly and get out of everyone's sight. Otherwise, people would take the initiative to kill Xiao Hei. People are afraid of wild beasts, so they will kill anything that poses a threat to them no matter what. This is human nature.

Wang Lin looked up in disbelief. No matter in her past life or this life, she had always been confined to this small courtyard. She used to live in the Shen family's courtyard, and after getting married, she lived in the Mo family's courtyard.

She had never seriously considered these things because the emotion of revenge had blinded her eyes and she could not see the outside world. If it were not for Shen Yan, perhaps she would have fallen into the situation that Shen Yan said.

In this life, she learned her revenge plan by herself and did not tell anyone, not even Shen Yan or Wang Jun.

Did she simply think that as long as she deviated from the track of her previous life, she would be able to succeed in her revenge and live happily in this life?

She would eventually go back to that old path, unable to turn back. Fortunately, Shen Yan caught her in time as she was lost.

"Linlin, you have to think carefully. Xiao Hei is still young, and humans can no longer control him. You have to learn to let go, for Xiao Hei and for us."

Wang Lin burst into tears and held Shen Yan's hand tightly, "Sister, I don't want to, I really don't want to give up Xiao Hei."

"Humans are social animals, and so is Xiao Hei. If we keep him with us, he will be separated from the group and lose the ability to protect himself. We will also leave here. Human life is very long. You can't hold on to Xiao Hei forever, and he can't accompany you forever. He will find his own partner and be happy."

Wang Lin stood there in a daze, tears filling her eyes.

She was unwilling to accept the facts that came with growing up. She hugged Shen Yan tightly and sobbed silently. Shen Yan did not push her away, nor did she speak. After the candle burned out, only a ray of moonlight shone in through the window.

No matter whether she has experienced it a thousand times or a hundred times, Shen Yan knows deeply that she cannot change everything by relying on her own ability alone. If the villagers really betray her, she and Wang Lin will have no way out. If it's just her, she has to pretend and guess the original owner's personality. Because she is the only one who knows how to live, she has to work harder.

"Linlin, there are still many things you don't know. You can't be so impulsive anymore. From now on, you have to leave everything to adults. I will protect you and my family."

Shen Yan looked out the window. The moon was so bright, shining on the two people, making their shadows longer and longer.

Wang Lin hugged Shen Yan tightly. She should have understood. Tears fell again. No one said anything. They just stood there quietly.

"Okay, stop crying. It won't look good if your face gets swollen from crying."

Shen Yan walked out the door, "Wang Jun, get Linlin a basin of hot water."

Shen Yan turned around and looked at Wang Lin, "Okay, go wash your face and go to bed, it's already late."

"Wang Jun, come in for a moment." Shen Yan ordered Wang Jun. She must have known that Wang Jun had also gone, and the two of them were taking Xiao Hei and not doing their business.

Seeing this, Shen Yan was about to start teaching Wang Jun a lesson, but Wang Lin instantly perked up, as if he was not the one crying just now. He quietly followed behind Wang Jun and eavesdropped on their conversation, really enjoying the fun.

"Sister, I know I was wrong." Before Shen Yan could speak, Wang Jun started to apologize.

"Have I ever taught you not to cover up for someone? If anything happens to you and Wang Lin, everyone will blame me. I'm not saying this to blame you, but I hope you can remember this lesson."

"If one day I'm not here anymore, how are you going to protect your sister, like today?"

"You should have heard the conversation I had with her just now. Have you ever thought about it? You actually helped her. You know the consequences. You are her brother. You should know more and take more responsibility."

"Jun'er, can you let me trust you?"

"But sister, that Mo family really wants to harm you. We did this to prevent you from worrying."

Wang Jun lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Shen Yan.

"I know your good intentions, so next time you must tell me in advance, okay? I won't find you annoying, because we are all family, and we should work together to find a way to overcome difficulties." Shen Yan touched Wang Jun's head seriously.

"I trust you again. By the way, I have found some people to take charge of the dessert stall. You'd better not let me down." Shen Yan walked out without looking back.

On Liu's side, Guifang was weeding diligently. She had to feed the pigs every day, and there was endless work to do, and even a stall to take care of. Liu and her son were lying comfortably, picking up the peanuts next to them.
