Chapter 232 : Planning for Sister
Vivian was busy nodding her head, her big, clear, bright eyes, like water-washed grapes, bright and shiny, looking at Lindsey curiously.
Lindsey almost had a soft heart, but in order not to cause trouble for Old Mr. Bosh, she still said stiffly, “But you can’t go with him now, he will go to you in a few days.”
“Why?” Vivian had a puzzled face.
Although she was as old as Lindsey, yet she had lived in the deep forest since childhood, her nature was extraordinarily simple, and her thinking was similar to that of a child.
Lindsey pondered for a moment and smiled. “Because I’m your sister, I have to get you an identity, otherwise you can’t leave here.”
“What’s an identity?” Vivian asked again, clueless, causing Edward to be curious about what they were talking about.
“It’s something to prove your identity.” Lindsey swept the rest of her eyes at Edward and said, “If you don’t have this thing, you’re not my sister.”
“Then I’ll do as you say.” Vivian happily agreed, and her imploring gaze fell on Edward, adding, “I want to stay with this brother.”
Lindsey nodded in a pretentious manner. “Good.”
Edward held back for a while until everyone had finished their breakfast, then followed him to the kitchen and pulled Lindsey aside, nervously inquiring what exactly she had just said to Vivian.
Lindsey said she didn’t say anything, just confirmed the relationship.
“How is that possible.” Edward obviously didn’t believe it. “Lindsey, don’t sell me short.”
“Who’s selling you short, that’s really what I said.” Lindsey laughed derisively. “She is my own sister, have you asked my opinion, so anxious to abduct her.”
“Then I’m asking if it’s okay now.” Edward’s head hurt to the core. “Good Lindsey, for the sake of I am your big brother, you do not give me a hard time.”
“She has to have an identity to go back to B City.” Lindsey curbed her smile and looked solemn. “Before this, she has been living in the deep mountains and is a black family.”
Edward listened, knew he was concerned, so he silently shut his mouth.
“Bruce will step in to help with this matter, you guys go back to the province first to make arrangements for the surgery, I’ll bring her back to B City directly then.” Lindsey’s face eased up and she couldn’t help but joke about it. “You’ve moved on?”
Edward’s handsome face floated a touch of dark red, nodding uncomfortably. “I should be.”
“What do you mean should be.” Lindsey was super dissatisfied with his answer. “By the way, school will start soon, someone at the company is watching you don’t have to go back to school too.”
“I forgot about it if you didn’t remind me.” Edward tapped his head. “I’ll arrange things here and go back to B City right away.”
“We’ll be colleagues from now on.” Lindsey shrugged her shoulders. “I’ll be teaching at the beauty school next semester.”
“That’s great.” Edward was overjoyed, made a few more small talk, and left the kitchen happily.
Lindsey couldn’t help but see this, and her mood lightened considerably.
Bruce went in and saw her giggling all by herself, so he couldn’t help but ask her sourly what Edward had said.
Lindsey didn’t hide anything from him, so she told him about the conversation and asked him to help.
When they came out of the kitchen, Edward and the others also finished their luggage and got into the car one after another.
Lindsey and Bruce held hands and sent them off, then called Vivian and went to the town police station.
The police station in a remote town has not changed in more than a decade, and Lindsey found the family registry section, briefly explaining her intention and offering to register Vivian.
The police officer was a bit embarrassed at first, but then Bruce made a phone call and the old chief came back from his duty outside, and warmly invited Lindsey and the others to the next office for tea.
“We are short of time, this cup of tea later, first for her to do the account and identity first.” Lindsey politely excused herself. “I’m sorry to bother Uncle Everett with this small matter.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You kid, we’re all from the same village, what’s there to be sorry about.” Chief Everett smilingly looked at Vivian with a surprised face. “With this look, no one would believe me if I said it wasn’t a sister, Trevor, hurry up and get this done.”
Lindsey thanked her again and waited for Vivian to come out after the photo shoot, pulling her along to thank Chief Li before leaving the police station and going to the nearby bazaar to buy joss sticks.
On the way, she thought about it and said to Vivian in dialect, “Vivian, from now on your name is Lily, remember?”
“Remember, sister is Lindsey, my name is Lily.” Vivian had a good feeling about her new name and accepted it completely in no time. “So we’re real sisters.”
“Right.” Lindsey was so angry and amused, and when she turned around to see Bruce sulking, she teased, “You’re jealous even when I’m holding my sister’s hand, isn’t that too much.”
“I want to hold your hand too.” Bruce said, and really went to hold her hand. “Then you won’t be jealous.”
Lindsey rolled her eyes and started teaching Lily to speak H.
After buying joss sticks and candles and going back to the old house, she found a hoe and sickle in the utility room behind the kitchen, found a back basket and set out for the mountains.
The road to her grandfather’s grave is not easy to walk on, as the thorns and weeds on the mountain are still very thick in the early autumn.
If you are alone, it is not a big problem, you can go by the shortcut. Now there are three people, and Bruce is carrying a backpack, it is not easy to climb the slope.
The scythe to open the road for a while, the sun is getting sunny, Lindsey did not rest well at night, feel some difficulty to breathe, had to temporarily stop to rest.
Sitting in the shade for a moment, Bruce’s face changed slightly, nervously rushed to Lindsey, eyes like a knife on the way to come.
“What’s wrong?” Lindsey exclaimed. “Is something wrong?”
“I think I smell gasoline!” Bruce tensed his eyebrows. “You and Lily find a place to hide, I’ll go check it out.”
Lindsey gritted her teeth and remembered that there happened to be a cave nearby. If someone really wanted to set fire to the mountain and burn them in the process, escaping in should be no problem, so she decided to go with him to see.
Song Jing didn’t know what was happening, and seeing their nervous faces, she also followed suit.
Bruce put down the tribute, led by Lindsey, slowly folded back from the other side of the trail.
The smell of gasoline is getting thicker and thicker, the mountain wind blowing over, you can imagine if lit, how fast it will burn.
Come to the strongest smell near the location, Lindsey stopped and silently took a sickle to cut a branch, by the way sharpened.
Song Jing saw her action, thought it was to hunt, immediately and happily folded a lot of branches over, took the sickle, quickly sharpened.
Lindsey looked up at her, a smile of satisfaction on his face, whispered two words with Bruce, each holding the sharpened branches quietly apart.
After a while, Lindsey waited for him to hide his figure, lowered his voice to explain Lily two words in dialect, and did not hesitate to throw the branch in his hand.
The wind is a little strong, the branch dragging hand flying out of the movement, by the grass and leaves shaking rustling sound to cover up.
Unfortunately, because of the wind, the accuracy is off a bit, not two people expected to be accurate.
The good thing is that the two men trailing the two directions shot at the same time, but still hit, wailing and rolling to the ground.
Lindsey waited patiently for a while, stood up from behind the shrubs where he was hiding, made sure there was no third helper, and then rushed forward with sensitivity.
Bruce’s movements were also very swift, and when the two reached them, they struck almost simultaneously, fumbling away the lighter they were carrying.
Dragging the men to the shade, Lindsey shook off his hand and sneered, “How dare you intend to set fire to the mountain?”
“Who told you to come.” Bruce pressed the peak of his eyebrows, his face parted with a gloomy expression. “Tell us or wait to be dried in the sun here.”
“We don’t know, the other side said just ruin her face.” One of them shuddered and looked up at Lindsey. “As long as she’s disfigured, we’ll get two million.”
“Disfigure?” Bruce repeated, his eyes flickering slightly.
If it was Burton, he would definitely not just want Lindsey disfigured, but would rather have them buried on this barren mountain.
Only a woman could be cynical about a woman’s appearance.
“Aurora!” Lindsey and Bruce spoke almost simultaneously, their faces as gloomy as ink.
This woman is really not stopping, actually sent all the way to ruin his face.
“She thinks you’re too superficial.” Lindsey curled her lips mockingly. “It seems that this Miss Aurora is thinking that with my face ruined, she has hope.”
“I wouldn’t give her a second glance even if she looked like a fairy.” Bruce snorted lightly, took out his cell phone and made a call.
The call ended and he fished out a rope from nowhere, using a sickle to cut off the sharp tied those two people up.
“Sister, what’s going on with these two people.” Lily waited behind the shrubs for a while, did not see them back, also curious to follow.
Lindsey looked up and smiled at her. “These two are bad guys, trying to do me harm.”
“Bad guys!” Song Jing exclaimed, leaping over with a few steps, raising her hand and slapping several times.
Those two were soon beaten to the skin and face, begging for mercy.
“Let you bully my sister, beat you to death.” Lily said, suddenly grabbed the sickle in Bruce’s hand and raised it high.
“Lily!” Lindsey drank her down with a headache. “You can’t just kill people, it’s against the law.”
“Break the law?” Lily did not know what it means to break the law, but Lindsey said no, she immediately put away the scythe, hateful glare at the two.
Bruce could not understand their words, looked around and took back the scythe to cut off all the grass and trees that had been splashed with gasoline.
Lindsey also followed to help, and instructed Lily to watch the two, so that they do not escape.
“Sister you do not worry.” Lily smiles and breaks a branch, every few seconds to whip those two.
The wailing sound, Lindsey and Bruce around the grass and trees cleared almost, with a sickle hooked pile to a place, and find a few cane tied up.
“The police department has sent a police officer up, let’s go on up the mountain, and then go back to make up the statement.” Bruce’s back was drenched in sweat and he looked at her with a bitter smile. “I haven’t even repaired my grandfather’s grave yet, so I’m doing other work first.”
“Come on, I already fixed Grandpa’s grave last time I was here.” Lindsey wrinkled her nose in disgust. “You’re so tired from this work.”
“I’m sure I won’t be tired of anything else.” Bruce grinned ploddingly away. “Really, you can try.”
“Rascal!” Lindsey gave him a blank look, greeted Lily and turned around to walk back.
After taking back the tributes, the three of them walked for a while on the rugged mountain path and finally arrived at the grave of Old Mr. Heard located halfway up the mountain.
Lindsey cleared the weeds around the tombstone, lit incense and candles, and then set up the tributes. Lily also squatted down and helped. “Sister, grandpa, how long has he been gone.”
“Four years.” Lindsey smiled at her. “He didn’t have it when it was about this season.”
“Oh …” Song Jing sullenly responded, taking the paper money out and separating it one by one.
A short while later, Bruce finished clearing the nearby weeds, also came over.
He lit three sticks of incense, he respectfully worshiped a few times and said, “Grandpa, Lindsey and I have received a certificate to write a marriage, I will take good care of her in the future, you old rest assured.”
After saying that, he bent down to put the incense in, stepped back, and knelt down heavily to kowtow.
