Chapter 197 The Third Uncle's "Shrewd" Scheme? Beneath the World Tree, an overwhelmin
The two old men's unsuccessful return made the atmosphere in the neighboring courtyard even more eerie.
Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu, and the others felt an even deeper fear of Lin Fan.
They all understood that Lin Fan, their new neighbor, was not someone they could deal with using ordinary methods.
However, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, did not think so.
Yan Bugui is a primary school teacher who loves to calculate and is very frugal, always trying to stretch every penny in half.
He heard about Banggeng stealing melons, Xu Damao complaining, and how Uncle Yi and Uncle Er got their comeuppance. Although he was shocked, his inherent "shrewdness" made him see another "opportunity".
He was making plans in his mind.
Although Lin Fan is powerful, he is still a young man and doesn't seem to care much about social niceties.
Such people are often the easiest to be "outsmarted".
He felt that as long as he didn't use force or confront Lin Fan head-on, and only used his "brain," he might be able to get some benefits from him.
Yan Bugui thought to himself that those "foreigners" at Lin Fan's house would definitely need to eat.
And He Yuzhu, that fool, actually went to Lin Fan's house to borrow rice yesterday, but only managed to borrow a tiny bit.
This suggests that although Lin Fan's family possesses treasures, they may disdain ordinary rice, flour, and cooking oil.
He decided to go to Lin Fan's house today.
Under the guise of "educating the children," he also wanted to find out about Lin Fan's family situation and see if there was anything he could "take advantage of."
That afternoon, Yan Bugui, carrying a copy of "Standards for Being a Good Student and Child" and his two troublesome sons, arrived at the gate of Lin Fan's courtyard house.
He knocked on the door.
Fang Qingxue opened the door and saw Yan Bugui and his two sons, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Is there something you need?" Fang Qingxue asked indifferently.
When Yan Bugui saw Fang Qingxue, a smile spread across his face, making him appear kind and approachable.
"Hello, young lady."
"I'm the third uncle from the next courtyard. I've come here specifically to pay a visit to Mr. Lin."
"I heard that some children came to Mr. Lin's house, and I was thinking that I should teach them the 'Standards for Being a Good Student and Child' and educate them."
As Yan Bugui spoke, he tried to squeeze into the courtyard.
Fang Qingxue didn't say anything, but simply stepped aside to let them in.
Yan Bugui led his two sons into the courtyard house, and they were stunned by what they saw.
They had assumed that Lin Fan's courtyard house would be as dilapidated as the one next door.
But to my surprise, the scene here was completely different.
The yard was clean and spotless.
The vegetable garden was lush and green, with the fragrance of fruits filling the air, and every vegetable looked so plump and tempting.
In the corner, the World Tree stands tall and majestic, its branches and leaves lush and exuding a refreshing aura.
And then there was that group of strangely dressed "foreigners," some of them cleaning, some busy in the vegetable garden, and some working in the kitchen.
Everyone looked so energetic and motivated.
Yan Bugui was immediately startled.
He could sense that this courtyard contained a powerful vitality, better than any other auspicious place he had ever seen.
He thought to himself, "This Mr. Lin is indeed no ordinary person."
Lin Fan sat in the rocking chair, closing his eyes to rest.
He knew Yan Bugui had arrived, and he was a little annoyed.
He opened his eyes and glanced at them indifferently.
"Is there something you need?"
Lin Fan's voice was calm, yet it contained an irresistible sense of pressure.
Yan Bugui felt a chill run down his spine when he was glanced at, and quickly composed himself.
Yan Bugui quickly put on a smile, appearing kind and approachable.
"Mr. Lin, hello."
"I'm the third uncle from the next courtyard. I came here specifically to have a chat with you."
"What are we talking about?" Lin Fan sneered.
"What's there for me to talk about with you?"
Lin Fan's words immediately embarrassed Yan Bugui.
He knew that Mr. Lin didn't take him seriously at all.
Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui quickly stepped forward, his face showing a hint of flattery.
"Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand."
"I just saw that you had some children visiting, so I thought I'd teach them the 'Standards for Being a Good Student and Child' and educate them a bit."
"Educate children?" Lin Fan sneered.
"My family members don't need your education."
"You'd better take care of your own child."
Lin Fan's words were casual, yet they conveyed an undeniable determination.
Yan Bugui's face turned pale upon hearing this, and he felt somewhat displeased.
Seeing Lin Fan's tough attitude, Yan Bugui felt a surge of annoyance.
He felt that Lin Fan was disrespecting him.
He snorted coldly, pointed at the World Tree in the courtyard, and began to ramble on.
"Mr. Lin, your tree is growing so tall, it's a bit inappropriate."
"This tree is too tall; it blocks the sunlight and affects the feng shui of the yard."
"Besides, with so many strange things hanging on this tree, is there something unclean among them?"
As Yan Bugui spoke, he tried to step forward and touch the trunk of the World Tree.
Lin Fan felt a surge of disgust when he looked at Yan Bugui's self-righteous appearance.
He detested these petty tricks of ordinary people.
He snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly narrowing.
An invisible force, with overwhelming force, instantly and firmly restrained Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, an invisible force pinning him firmly to the spot.
It felt like my lungs had been emptied.
His throat was being tightly choked, and he couldn't utter a single word.
His limbs were stiff as iron and he could not move.
His face turned deathly pale.
His eyes were wide open, and deep in his pupils was fear.
That was not simple oppression, but the despair of having one's life completely controlled.
He felt as if an invisible hand was choking him, and the shadow of death loomed over his heart.
In the courtyard, everyone was taken aback by Lin Fan's sudden display of power.
Fang Qingxue and her cousins, on the other hand, had expressions of being used to it.
They knew that the man was already very impatient.
Lin Fan looked coldly at Yan Bugui, his voice calm, yet carrying an aura of dominance over all living beings.
"If you dare to spout nonsense in my house again, I'll throw you out and let you keep company with stray dogs."
Yan Bugui shuddered violently; those words struck him like a thunderbolt.
The terror in his eyes reached its peak.
At that moment, he felt as if he truly experienced the taste of death.
Lin Fan concealed his aura.
Yan Bugui collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had left him, his mouth wide open, greedily inhaling the air, his clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Lin Fan gave Yan Bugui a cold glance.
"I'll say it again, get out of here if you have nothing else to say!"
Yan Bugui was terrified by those cold words.
He knew this was no joke, but a warning laced with absolute murderous intent.
He hurriedly grabbed his two sons and scrambled out of Lin Fan's courtyard house.
After everyone left, the courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
Lin Fan watched their hurried retreating figures, feeling somewhat displeased.
He thought these people were a real nuisance.
He sighed softly and lay back down in the rocking chair.
He knew that these people would not let this go so easily.
But he couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.
He believed that as long as he was powerful enough, he could keep all the troubles out.
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the rare moment of peace.
At this moment, Yan Bugui was filled with nothing but endless fear and regret.
He finally understood that Lin Fan's strength far exceeded his imagination.
This time, he really ran into someone he couldn't afford to mess with.
He thought to himself that he would never dare to provoke Lin Fan again.
