Lin Ming noticed that his parents looked strange, and his heart jumped. Could it be that Lin Piaoxue had done something bad again?

Lin's mother ran into the kitchen and said to Lin Feng, who was cooking, "Second brother, it seems something has happened at home again."

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "What happened?"

“As soon as Dad and Mom came back, they asked if Piaoxue had returned. I told them that Piaoxue had come back, and their expressions changed. It must be that Lin Piaoxue caused trouble again,” Lin Ming said.

Lin Ming's heart tightened suddenly. Why had Lin Piaoxue caused trouble again? Wouldn't it be better to just live a peaceful life?

Lin Feng quickly walked out of the kitchen and saw Wei Hong standing in the yard. He asked curiously, "Brother Wei, is Piaoxue causing trouble outside again?"

Wei Hong looked at Lin Feng with sympathy in his eyes, "Lin Piaoxue may have taken away the money that Qing Huan desperately tried to protect."

Lin Ming and Lin Feng's faces turned grim, their expressions filled with disbelief. How could Lin Piaoxue dare to steal money from the family? What difference was there between her behavior and that of a thief?

Lin Feng and Lin Ming rushed into their father's room and saw their parents sitting on the floor, their faces pale and filled with despair. They had a bad feeling and felt uneasy.

"Dad, did Piaoxue steal the money from the house?" Lin Ming asked anxiously.

With tears streaming down her face, Lin's mother said sadly, "Piaoxue took away the savings book with 30,000 yuan and the household registration book. How could she be so heartless? She's not leaving us any way to survive!"

"What? Lin Piaoxue really took all the money Grandpa gave her?" Lin Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Lin's mother cried and said, "They've all been taken away. We don't have a single penny left in the house. What are we going to do in the future?"

Lin Feng trembled with anger, his clenched fists so tight that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

"Mom, this is the good daughter you were talking about. She ruined the entire Lin family. Are you happy now?"

"The water tank in the house is broken, and the chairs, kettle and basin have all been smashed by Lin Yu. Now we don't even have the money to replace these things, and we can't live like this anymore."

“I can leave with Grandpa, but what about my eldest brother and third brother?”

“Mom, all these years you have said that Piaoxue is a girl and that we should not compete with her. We have always listened to you. Our clothes have been washed until they are faded and even have patches, but we have never competed with her, nor dared to compete with her.”

"The family was so poor that they lived in a thatched hut, but Lin Piaoxue lived like a rich young lady, eating and drinking well, and having two sets of clothes a year."

“You’re already twenty-three years old, and you haven’t mentioned finding a wife. You’re always hanging around Lin Piaoxue, as if she’s the only one who’s your biological daughter.”

"Mom, I really don't want to stay in this house for another second."

Lin Feng spoke with tears streaming down his face. He had worked hard all year but had nothing to show for it. He didn't want to continue living like this.

Lin Feng wiped away his tears and quickly walked out of the room.

Lin's mother covered her face in anguish and burst into tears. She had never expected Lin Piaoxue to be so audacious as to steal even the family's money.

Lin's father stood up, walked out of the room, and went to the yard, saying to Wei Hong, "Go back to the hospital and ask Qinghuan and Weixiao what to do."

Wei Hong glanced at his watch and said helplessly to Lin's father, "It's almost six o'clock now, and the bank is about to close. Lin Piaoxue might take a bus to the city. Let's go to the station and see if we can catch her."

Mr. Lin felt that Wei Hong's words made sense and said gratefully, "I'll listen to you and go to the station first."

Lin's father looked at Lin Ming and instructed him, "Keep a close eye on your mother. Don't let anything happen to her. Our family can't afford any more trouble."

No matter how bad his mother was, she was still his own mother. Lin Ming didn't want anything to happen to her, so he nodded and said, "Dad, go in peace! I'll keep an eye on Mom."

Wei Hong and Lin's father got into the car and drove away quickly.

After Lin Ming's father left, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Second brother, I don't want to stay at home anymore. I want Grandpa to help me find a job. It doesn't matter if it's hard or tiring, at least I can save some money and get married in the future. I don't want to be like you and eldest brother, who are in their twenties and still unmarried, and be laughed at by others."

Lin Feng patted Lin Ming on the shoulder with empathy and said bitterly, "Second brother understands how you feel."

"Big brother must be sad again," Lin Feng said worriedly.

Lin Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Piaoxue deserves to die."

Lin Feng sighed and said regretfully, "I spoke a bit harshly to Mom just now. I'm worried she might do something rash. Go to her room and watch over her, make sure she doesn't do anything foolish. I'm going to talk to my older brother about Piaoxue stealing money."

Lin Ming said worriedly, "My brother has been beaming all day because he's going to open a clothing store in the city. If we tell him now that the money is gone, he might not be able to accept it for a while."

Lin Feng was also a little worried about Lin Qing. He went to the convenience store and saw Lin Qing chatting and laughing with the villagers. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bear to disturb his enjoyment, so he turned around and went home.

When Lin Qinghuan woke up, she got up to wash up. Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at the scars on her face and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes. Damn Lin Piaoxue, how could she be so vicious?

Remembering the missing necklace, she looked at her chest in the mirror and saw a raindrop tattoo. Suspicion appeared on her face. How could a tattoo appear on her body for no reason?

Lin Qinghuan's fingers caressed the tattoo on her chest, her eyes lighting up as she thought of a possibility: the necklace her grandmother left her was a treasure, perhaps even a storage space?

Lin Qinghuan closed her eyes, concentrated, and thought about entering the space. When she opened her eyes, she was still standing in the washroom.

Could it be that I've made a mistake, and the necklace isn't a storage space?

Lin Qinghuan held the cup, thinking of putting it into her spatial storage, but the cup disappeared from her hand. Then she thought of taking the cup out again, and the cup reappeared in her hand.

Lin Qinghuan cleared her mind of all distractions and focused on entering the space. She found herself in an unfamiliar place, in a wooden house, with a well about the size of a large bowl, much smaller than an ordinary well. Beside the well was a jade bowl, and Lin Qinghuan inexplicably felt that the well water was something good.

Lin Qinghuan picked up the jade bowl, scooped up a bowl of well water, and drank it all in one gulp. She then put the bowl down and instantly felt refreshed. Worried about being discovered, she left the space.
