Lin's Little Brother Beats Up Baoyu: Daily Life [Dream of the Red Chamber]

Lin Heng transmigrated into the son of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, the younger brother of Daiyu, who was supposed to die young.

After his mother passed away, his maternal grandmother sent people to fetch him. He and his older sister Daiyu boarded a large boat bound for the Rongguo Mansion.

The nasty eldest master, the muddleheaded second master, the biased old lady... A world full of bitter winds and frost? Huh? Not at all.

The eldest master was nasty, but divided the family property. The second master was muddleheaded, but easy to talk around.

The old lady was biased, but Lin Heng sweet-talked and charmed her, handling her with ease.

And then there was Baoyu. Lin Heng ground his teeth. You'd better watch yourself if you make my sister cry!

Years later, Baoyu sighed. "The only reason Daiyu and I can live happily together today is because Brother Heng used to beat me up when we were kids."

[Side Story]

1.

As a boy, Lin Heng once saw a "crane."

Later, its wings were clipped, and it was trapped behind tall walls.

That night, beneath a sparse scatter of stars and a bright moon, with pine torches blazing, Lin Heng rode through the towering wall.

The woman within stood with a sword in hand, her sleeves billowing.

The starlight, moonlight, and firelight all paled in her eyes.

"Brother Heng, is that you?"

The corners of Lin Heng's eyes and brows softened like spring water in the third month. He reached out to his "crane." "Sister Yun, come home with me."

From then on, the sky was wide and the earth vast, and the crane's cry rang through the heavens.

2.

Years later, Lin Heng was made a marquis and appointed chancellor, while Baoyu and Daiyu lived in leisure among the woods.

Lin Heng told them, "You two can spend your days playing at poetry and sharing tea. Making a good life together is what matters most."

In private, he told Baoyu, "Make my sister cry, and I'll beat you to death, even as chancellor!"

Baoyu had long since gotten used to it. He smiled: :)
