Whenever there are two or more choices, people often subconsciously overlook the first one.
A certain monk said this.
Getting a beating or confessing, Chen Fei arranged it clearly for the Lin family's little brother.
So getting beaten won't work, but confessing will!
Under the earnest teachings of benefiting from a good beating, Lin Zixian eventually made the most correct and normal choice that human nature dictates.
From the beginning, Chen Fei did not guess wrong; Lin Zixian was indeed the abandoned child of the Lin family.
In such a large family, it's only natural that the least promising child is the first to be abandoned. Since he previously enjoyed the various benefits and conveniences brought by the big family, he now also has to bear the corresponding obligations and costs.
This is a story that specifically bullies the poor young, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; after shouting for thirty years, the youth is still poor.
