Lin Piaoxue was scolded by Lin Qinghuan in front of her family, and anger appeared on her face. She looked at Lin Qinghuan coldly and retorted, "My father and mother know best what kind of person I am. Your attempts to sow discord will not work."

Lin Piaoxue looked at her mother as she finished speaking, and her mother quickly said, "I believe Piaoxue is a good child."

Lin Piaoxue looked at Lin Qinghuan triumphantly and boasted, "You see, Mom trusts me unconditionally. She doesn't believe anything you say at all."

Lin Qinghuan smiled and said to Lin Piaoxue, "I was too talkative. I hope that with time, she will continue to believe in you."

"I believe Mom will always believe in me and understand me," Lin Piaoxue said smugly.

Lin Qinghuan looked at her mother with a faint, distant smile on her face. "If you don't change your clothes soon, you'll catch a cold. You won't be able to rely on Lin Piaoxue to take care of you in the future."

Lin's mother did feel a bit cold, and after hearing Lin Qinghuan's words, she went back to her room to change her clothes.

Mr. Lin looked at Lin Qinghuan with surprise. Was Lin Qinghuan concerned about Mrs. Lin?

Lin Piaoxue glanced arrogantly at Lin Qinghuan. No matter how filial Lin Qinghuan was to her mother, her mother would never like her.

Lin Qinghuan met Lin Piaoxue's gaze and snorted coldly. Lin Piaoxue was simply overthinking things. She had no interest in competing with Lin Piaoxue for favor. She just wanted to see if Lin Piaoxue and Lin's mother could maintain such a good relationship forever in the future.

After Lin's mother changed her clothes, the three Lin brothers also came out of their room and went to the kitchen to eat.

Everyone sat at the table, looking at the stir-fried eggplant on it, which seemed undercooked.

Lin Ming picked up a piece of stir-fried eggplant and put it in his mouth. After chewing it once, a painful expression appeared on his face. He looked at Lin Piaoxue with a complicated expression, wondering how much salt she had put in, and how the eggplant was still not cooked.

Lin's father frowned, picked up a piece of fried eggplant and ate it, but spat it out as soon as he put it in his mouth, looking at Lin Piaoxue speechlessly.

"Lin Piaoxue, you're useless at everything. What are you even capable of doing?"

Lin Piaoxue pouted and said, "I already told you I can't cook, but you insisted that I do it."

Lin's father said mercilessly, "Look at Lin Qinghuan. She's good at everything, whether it's farm work or housework, but look at her, she's utterly useless."

Lin Piaoxue blushed with shame after hearing her father's words.

Lin Qinghuan sneered, "How can my sister be useless? All her thoughts are on how to dress herself up, how to seduce men, and how to marry a rich man. But even though my sister has seduced so many men, not a single one of them is willing to come and propose marriage."

Lin Qinghuan wouldn't give Lin Piaoxue any face; she'd say whatever came to mind.

Enraged, Lin Piaoxue slammed the bowl on the table and shouted, "Stop insulting me! What's it to you?!"

Lin Qinghuan didn't see that Lin Piaoxue was angry. She said calmly, "Of course it's my business. The family's money belongs to everyone. You've used so much of the family's money, so you should at least give back to the family. But you're eighteen years old, and you're as arrogant as a rooster every day, but you're even worse than a rooster. At least a rooster breeds the old hen and knows to crow every day to wake us up. What have you done for the family besides asking for money? We're still living in a thatched hut because of you, you parasite who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. You're simply a jinx to the Lin family, deliberately harming us."

The Lin family members all looked at Lin Piaoxue. Girls her age would have been surrounded by matchmakers, but no one was interested in Lin Piaoxue. Could it be that everyone knew she only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun and couldn't do anything else, so no one came to propose marriage?

Feeling aggrieved by her family's gaze, Lin Piaoxue turned her anger on Lin Qinghuan, picking up a bowl of food from the table and smashing it at her.

Lin Qinghuan was already on guard against Lin Piaoxue. When she saw the bowl being thrown at her, she dodged to the side. The bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, scattering food all over the floor.

Lin Qing sat up straight as if nothing had happened and sighed, "What a temper, and she's a good-for-nothing who can't do anything. No wonder no man has ever come to propose marriage."

Lin Piaoxue shouted, "Who says I have no one willing to marry me? There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people who want to marry me."

Lin Qinghuan looked left and right, then turned to Lin Piaoxue and asked, "Where are your eight hundred men? I can't see them."

Lin Qinghuan looked at the Lin family members and asked, "Did you see that?"

The Lin family members subconsciously shook their heads. They knew Lin Piaoxue was very popular with men, but they had never seen any man come to propose marriage.

Faced with Lin Qinghuan's insults, Lin Piaoxue felt ashamed and as if she had been greatly insulted. Coupled with the attitude of the Lin family, she covered her face and ran out of the kitchen.

Lin Qinghuan sighed. So weak! She had really overestimated Lin Piaoxue before.

Lin's father watched helplessly as Lin Qinghuan drove Lin Piaoxue away.

"Qinghuan, have some decency. Piaoxue is still your sister, no matter what."

Lin Qinghuan looked at her father and said seriously, "Dad, I only spoke to her from the bottom of my heart because we share the same parents. You can't blindly indulge my sister, lest she have no one to marry in the future and you have to support her for the rest of your lives."

“You’re exaggerating. How could Piaoxue not have a husband?” Lin Qing said.

Lin Qinghuan said, "Where are the men? Why don't you send one to propose marriage? I don't expect any talented young men, just any young man will do."

Lin Ming looked at Lin Qinghuan with disdain, "Piaoxue has no man willing to marry her, and neither do you."

Lin Qinghuan asked, "How do you know I don't have a man willing to marry me? Besides, you're already twenty years old and you're not in a hurry, but I'm only sixteen. Why should I be in a hurry? Do you want to marry me off and use my dowry to find a wife? Let me tell you, if you dare to have such an idea and ruin my life, I'll take you all with me and we'll all die together."

As Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, she looked at the Lin family members with a fierce gaze, her eyes filled with threat.

Lin Ming was intimidated by Lin Qinghuan's ruthless expression and dared not utter another word.

Damn it! This brat is a ruthless character who would even kill a pig. Who knows, if we anger her, she might really take them all down with her.

Lin's mother said nervously, "Sixteen years old is not young anymore, and she's reached the age to get married."

A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Qinghuan's eyes as she said with a stern face, "I don't need you to worry about me. What you should be worried about is your precious daughter, Lin Piaoxue. If she stays at home any longer, she'll become an old maid. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?"

Lin's mother was speechless for a moment, and her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Lin Qinghuan.

Lin Qinghuan didn't care what her mother thought of her. She finished the rice in her bowl in a few bites and went back to her room.

Looking at the vegetables and broken porcelain on the ground, Mr. Lin's face showed dissatisfaction. He could choose not to eat the vegetables, but breaking a large bowl made him feel a little heartbroken.
