Chapter 31 Relationship Turns sour

"Little sister, the pheasant you mentioned! I've hidden it in the back!" Lin Wenqian smiled mysteriously when he saw Lin Luoxi looking for the pheasant, and then led the way.

"So that's why my brother ran to the back to hide something when Aunt Lin came over!" Lin Luoning said, suddenly realizing something as she followed Lin Luoxi.

"What? Those shameless bastards from the Lin family are here again?" Lin Luoxi frowned upon hearing Lin Luoning's words.

"Of course! It seems like they came to our house looking for something, barging in without saying a word, and even took the fish you had pickled." Lin Luoning pouted, her tone full of disgust, not wanting to talk about that kind of person and ruin her good mood.

"Ha, a leopard can't change its spots." Lin Luoxi sneered when she heard that her fish had been taken away.

First, he went with Lin Wenqian to the back of the house to check on the three pheasants.

Seeing the three pheasants huddled listlessly in the corner without making a sound, Lin Luoxi said directly, "Big brother, little sister, while it's dark, hurry up and kill all three pheasants, pluck their feathers, and I'll cook when I get back."

"Second sister, it's so late, where are you going?" Lin Wenqian stood up and asked, sensing the implication in Lin Luoxi's words.

"Ha, the Lin family has come to our house to freeload time and time again. We let it go before, but now we've cut ties and have no relation to each other. If we don't stand up for ourselves, this kind of thing will continue to happen."

After saying that, he repeatedly instructed Lin Wenqian to handle the aftermath properly and not to tell even his own parents.

Seeing Lin Wenqian obediently leading Lin Luoning to get busy in the back, she sneered and put on the blood-stained clothes she had changed out of earlier but hadn't had time to wash yet.

He went out again, walked around the house, and finally went into the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

"Da Ya, where are you going?" Lin Wangshi was in the kitchen and saw Lin Luoxi taking a kitchen knife out, so she quickly chased after her.

"Da Ya, what are you doing dressed like that so late at night?"

Lin Dayou, who was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, also saw Lin Luoxi's clothes and the kitchen knife in her hand. His heart skipped a beat, and he asked her uneasily.

"Father, Mother, I'm asking you, did the Lin family come over today?" Lin Luoxi asked Lin Dayou and Lin Wangshi with a cold face.

Seeing Lin Luoxi's cold face, Lin Dayou didn't know why, but he was actually afraid of his daughter.

But with Lin Luoxi staring at him like that, he could only bite the bullet and nod, "Mm!"

Seeing her daughter's cold eyes, Lin Wangshi couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. She turned her face away and stopped looking at Lin Dayou.

"Did they take anything from our house?" Lin Luoxi's heart sank a little when she saw Lin Dayou's expression.

"Hmm!" Lin Dayou nodded again. Being looked at like that by his daughter, he felt as if he had disappointed her.

"Dad, it wasn't us who encouraged you to sever ties with the Lin family back then, was it?" Lin Luoxi struck at Lin Dayou's very soul once again, forcibly bringing his inner wounds to the forefront.

"No." Lin Dayou felt embarrassed and a little annoyed at being asked this by Lin Luoxi.

"Father, since we didn't instigate it, do you even know what severing ties means?"

“It means we’ve severed all ties. Since the Lin family has nothing to do with us anymore, why didn’t you stop them from coming to our house to take our things?”

“Do you know that I only went out to fish in the middle of the night with my older brother because I saw that there was no food left in our family, and that you, your mother, and your younger brother all needed nutrition and to strengthen your bodies?”

"And you, not only did you see them take the fish and meat meant to nourish your brother without stopping them, but you also acted like nothing happened. What were you thinking...?"

"If you can't bear to leave your family, then Dad, why don't you move back and live with them!" Lin Luoxi was initially very emotional, but when she saw the anger in Lin Dayou's eyes from being lectured, her anger instantly dissipated, and she felt utterly powerless.

"Also, Mother, we have no relation to the Lin family anymore. They can't use filial piety to pressure you. Why don't you dare to rebel..."

What truly disappointed Lin Luoxi was not that her parents had allowed the Lin family to take away the fish and meat, but that they didn't know how to fight back when they were being oppressed, and only let their children suffer along with them.

"Alright, they've already taken it all. Do you really have to say this to me and my mother? You've already given it to the village chief and the others, so giving it to anyone else won't make a difference." Lin Dayou finally couldn't help but refute Lin Luoxi's words.

"Fine, you two are filial, you two did nothing wrong, but I can't." Lin Luoxi's passionate spirit was completely roused at this moment by Lin Dayou's words.

Enraged, he grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed outside.

"Da Ya, where are you going?" Lin Da You saw the disappointed look on Lin Luo Xi's face and panicked even more, regretting what he had just said.

Fearing that Lin Luoxi's mental illness might relapse and she might lose her temper and do something irrational, they quickly stepped in front of her.

"I don't care who you want to give things to, but please don't give my things away." At this moment, Lin Luoxi's attitude towards Lin Dayou and his wife was distant and polite.

"Get out of the way. Just because you're willing to be a pushover doesn't mean everyone else is." The more she looked at Lin Dayou, the more simmering the anger in her heart became; his gaze could freeze a person into ice shards.

Seeing Lin Dayou still blocking his way, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand and made a feinting strike.

Lin Dayou, being a coward, quickly dodged to the side when he saw the kitchen knife in Lin Luoxi's hand coming down.

Seeing that Lin Dayou had dodged away, Lin Luoxi smiled sarcastically and strode outside.

"Honey, hurry up and follow her! We can't let Daya do anything!" Lin Dayu anxiously pulled Lin Wangshi along, wanting to follow after Lin Luoxi's figure disappear into the night.

As a result, they couldn't move Lin Wangshi. When they turned their heads, they saw a relieved smile on Lin Wangshi's face.

“Honey, you’ve really disappointed us. I agree with my daughter. Since you can’t sever ties with the Lin family, pack your things today and go back to live with your parents!”

When Madam Lin saw Lin Luoxi's firm attitude, she knew that her good days were coming.

In this family, the daughter can stand up for herself and stop the vampires from bothering the family. This is the thing she wants to see most in her life.

She couldn't be tough on the Lin family, but her daughter could, so she couldn't hold her daughter back.

"Honey, what's wrong with you today? Da Ya must have gone to your brother's house to cause trouble." Lin Da You frowned and called out when he saw Lin Wang Shi acting strangely.
