Lin Qing helped Lin Ming into the main room. Lin Ming looked at Lin Piaoxue, but the pain in his body and the villagers' disdainful looks made him push Lin Qing's hand away. He rushed to Lin Piaoxue in a fit of rage and slapped her across the face.

Lin Piaoxue was stunned by the beating!

He stared blankly at Lin Ming.

Lin's father and Lin Qing were also stunned! They never expected Lin Ming to suddenly run off and hit Lin Piaoxue.

Lin Qinghuan's eyes lit up. Why only one slap? There should have been more slaps!

When Lin's father and Lin Qing saw Lin Qinghuan's excited expression, their foreheads were covered in black lines. Was it really okay to watch a show with their own family members on their heads?

Lin Piaoxue covered her face where she had been slapped and angrily yelled at Lin Ming, "Third Brother, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?"

Lin Ming roared back, "I've gone mad! I've been driven mad by you, you ungrateful, heartless, and selfish person!"

"Lin Piaoxue, I believe I have treated you well, but why did you frame me and make everyone think I'm crazy? How am I supposed to face people now?"

"You almost got raped by Lin Yu, you deserved it. Who told you to dress up so extravagantly every day? You call every man 'brother' or 'uncle' without feeling ashamed. Sometimes I feel embarrassed for you."

Do you know why no one wants to marry you?

"Because they're afraid you'll be unfaithful, afraid you'll cheat on them. A woman like you, who's ambiguous with a bunch of men, let alone other men, if I met a woman like you, I wouldn't dare marry her. I'd worry that my wife would be my own, but the children would be someone else's."

Lin Qinghuan stared wide-eyed and gaped at Lin Ming, who was rattling off a string of words. A thousand "Holy crap!" thoughts raced through her mind. She couldn't believe her ears! Lin Ming was cursing Lin Piaoxue as a shameless woman!

The cigarette in Lin's father's hand fell to the ground. He stared at Lin Ming in disbelief. Had this kid gone mad? How could he talk about his own sister like that?

Lin Qing and Lin Feng exchanged glances. It was normal for their third brother to be so shocked and mentally unstable!

Lin Piaoxue's face was ashen, her eyes brimming with tears. She looked at Lin Ming in disbelief. This man wasn't her third brother. Her third brother loved her so much, how could he treat her like that!

Standing at the doorway, Lin's mother leaned on the doorframe and said angrily, "Third son, shut up! Do you know what you're saying? Piaoxue is your own sister."

"I don't care about a sister who only knows how to scheme against her family." Lin Ming said with a face full of grief and indignation, "Mom, it's all your fault for spoiling Lin Piaoxue into being selfish and self-centered. She did such a vicious thing, and you still protect her. If she kills someone, are you going to take the blame for her yourself, or make me, my eldest brother, my second brother, and Lin Qinghuan take the blame for her?"

A hint of fear appeared on Lin Qing and Lin Feng's faces. If Lin Piaoxue committed a crime, there was a high probability that Lin's mother would ask them to take the blame for Lin Piaoxue.

The smile on Lin Qinghuan's face also disappeared. What Lin Ming said was very likely. She was the child that Lin's mother disliked the most, and the one most likely to be pushed out to take the blame.

Lin's father saw the scene before him, and his eyes dimmed.

Lin Ming continued, "Mom, Lin Piaoxue is your child, but aren't we?"

“From childhood to adulthood, she has always lived a life of luxury while we watched her eat and ate what she left behind. If you don’t like us, why did you give birth to us? Mom, Dad is right. You like Lin Piaoxue so much, why don’t you live with her? Don’t let her come and ruin us.”

When Lin's mother heard Lin Ming's accusations, her mind went blank. Her son was disgusted with her and resented her.

Lin's mother looked at Lin Qing and Lin Feng, but they both turned their heads away and refused to meet her gaze. Sadness welled up in her heart.

In the eyes of her children, was she really so unable to distinguish right from wrong?

Tears blurred Lin's mother's vision. Her lips moved as if she wanted to explain, but suddenly she felt the world spinning around her, her mind went blank, and everything went black before her eyes, causing her to fall backward.

Lin Qinghuan's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran to her mother, "Mom, Mom."

Lin Qinghuan didn't have time to grab her mother and watched helplessly as her mother collapsed in front of her.

Lin Ming stared in disbelief at his mother lying on the ground.

"Third brother, you've made Mom faint!" Lin Piaoxue said loudly.

His voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Lin Qinghuan turned her head and glared at Lin Piaoxue, saying coldly, "Shut up, or I'll tear your mouth off."

All the problems were caused by Lin Piaoxue. She doesn't know how to reflect on her actions and is still playing tricks to make everyone direct their anger at Lin Ming. She is truly disgusting.

Lin Ming staggered to his mother's side and cried, "Mom, I didn't mean to make you angry. I didn't mean to make you angry."

Lin's father, Lin Qing, and Lin Feng all surrounded Lin's mother, looking at her with concern.

"How could this happen? She was fine just now. How could she suddenly faint?" Mr. Lin said anxiously.

"Don't gather so close, spread out a bit." Lin Qinghuan said as she laid her mother down flat, tilted her head back, and turned her face to the left. She unbuttoned the two buttons under her mother's collar to prevent it from choking her neck before reaching out to take her pulse.

Lin's father didn't dare to breathe loudly. Only after Lin Qinghuan let go of his hand did he hurriedly ask, "Qinghuan, how is your mother? Is she seriously ill?"

Lin Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid that her mother had suffered a brain hemorrhage, but thankfully it wasn't.

"She fainted because she was too emotional. We can't let her get angry anymore, or the consequences will be serious."

Lin Qing asked, "How serious is it?"

“Paralyzed, bedridden for life,” Lin Qinghuan said.

Lin Feng asked with some skepticism, "Aren't you exaggerating?"

“If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try. It’s not like I’m the one taking care of you,” Lin Qinghuan said.

Lin's mother slowly opened her eyes, her gaze lifeless, completely devoid of her usual energy and spirit.

Lin Qinghuan slowly helped Lin Ming's mother sit up and said to Lin Feng, "Boil some hot water to wipe the blood off Mom's face. Also, boil a kettle of water, pour Mom a cup of water, and add a little salt and sugar to it for her to drink."

Lin Qinghuan carefully helped her mother to her feet, helped her to bed, and then left the room.

Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue standing at the door of the room and said, "Lin Piaoxue, you better pray that Mom lives to be a hundred years old, otherwise you'll be in big trouble."

"People can be selfish, but you have to have a bottom line. How can you bear to drag your own mother down with you, causing her to bleed from a head wound?"

Lin Piao retorted, "I didn't mean it, don't wrong me."

Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue speechlessly. With a simple "it wasn't intentional," she managed to shift all the blame for her mistakes. How shameless!

"Lin Piaoxue, haven't you noticed? You've already alienated everyone. Your mother is disappointed in you, your eldest and second brothers are wary of you, your third brother hates you, and you've pushed away everyone who cares about you. You're finally paying the price for your selfishness and ruthlessness."

Lin Qinghuan said she would ignore Lin Piaoxue and went to her room to rest.
