Lin's father rushed into the courtyard, followed by Lin Qing and Lin Ming. When he saw Lin Qinghuan sitting at the entrance of the main room, he asked anxiously, "Qinghuan, how is your sister?"

Lin Qinghuan feigned sadness as she replied, "My sister was bitten on the ankle by a snake and fell into a coma. She has now woken up and is lying in bed. Dr. Li said..."

Lin's father, his face filled with panic, urged, "What did Doctor Li say?"

"Dr. Li said the wound shouldn't get wet, otherwise it might become infected and inflamed," Lin Qinghuan said.

"Is your sister alright?" Lin's father asked.

"Why would something happen to my sister?" Lin Qinghuan asked in return.

"Didn't you say your sister had fainted?" Mr. Lin asked, puzzled.

“My sister is fine. She was just bitten by a non-venomous snake and was so scared that she fainted immediately,” Lin Qinghuan replied.

Lin's father was stunned and fainted from fright. How could such a grown man be frightened into fainting?

Lin Qing and Lin Ming were also stunned. They had only heard that people would scream in terror after being bitten by a snake, but they had never heard of someone being so frightened that they fainted.

Lin Qinghuan said with a smile, "Dad, when my mom brought Lin Piaoxue home, she cried all the way home, and you all ran home in a panic. You would have thought that my sister was about to die and only had one breath left."

An embarrassed look appeared on Lin's father's face as he said, "We were just worried about the snow."

Lin Qinghuan sighed, "I understand. Lin Piaoxue is the apple of her family's eye."

When Lin's father heard that Lin Piaoxue was alright, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. "It's good that she's alright, it's good that she's alright."

Lin Qing and Lin Ming glanced at Lin Qinghuan. They felt that Lin Qinghuan's attitude was particularly strange. She was neither as cautious as before, nor as indifferent as before. Instead, she was very peaceful. Yes, peaceful.

Lin Qing and Lin Ming exchanged a glance, and for some reason, they felt that Lin Qinghuan was more difficult to deal with than before.

Seeing the wariness on Lin Qing and Lin Ming's faces, Lin Qinghuan smiled at them and said, "Big brother, third brother, why are you looking at me like that? Did you suddenly realize I'm very pretty?"

Lin Qing and Lin Ming were slightly taken aback. Lin Qinghuan was actually willing to call them "brother" again. There must be a reason why Lin Qinghuan's attitude suddenly became so good. There must be something fishy about it.

Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh. The Lin family wasn't difficult to deal with; she had overestimated them before.

"Father, my eldest brother, second brother, and I are siblings. We should support each other and bring glory to the Lin family. But they dislike me and are very resistant to me. How can the Lin family prosper under such circumstances? They are too narrow-minded. How can they bring honor to the family in the future?" Lin Qinghuan said righteously.

Lin's father asked curiously, "Qinghuan, how did you come to this realization?"

Lin Qinghuan, looking like she had figured it out, said righteously, "Father, I'm all grown up now. When I get married, I'll need my maternal family to support me, otherwise I'll be bullied by my in-laws. Besides, we're siblings with the same parents and blood. Even if we're broken, our bones are still connected. There's no need for so many grudges."

Lin's father said with relief, "Qinghuan, it's very good that you think this way. Brothers and sisters should love and support each other so that they won't be bullied by outsiders and can live a good life."

Lin Qinghuan said with a smile, "Dad, you're absolutely right. In the future, if Third Brother sees others bullying me, he must not stand idly by. They must protect me. And Sister, she can't do bad things anymore and let Li Jian and the others beat me up. I don't have any deep hatred for her. She's still my own sister. Why would she want to harm me?"

Lin's father's expression froze. After a moment, he said in a dry voice, "Qinghuan, don't worry, I'll talk to them."

"Dad, your blood flows in my veins, I am your own daughter. Before, when you let them bully me, I even doubted whether I was a daughter of the Lin family. Now that you treat everyone equally, I am very, very happy," Lin Qinghuan said, moved.

Lin's father chuckled twice and said, "I'm going to see your sister."

Lin Qinghuan said sensibly, "Dad, go and comfort my sister. Tell her that she was frightened by the poisonous snake and that she shouldn't feel ashamed or do anything rash. Face can't put food on the table. At most, you can tell others that my sister was bitten badly by the poisonous snake and is bedridden. That way, people won't laugh at us."

Lin's father's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

Lin Qinghuan secretly curled her lip. How could she let Lin Piaoxue's shameful deeds pass by so easily? That would be underestimating her too much.

"Father, but Doctor Li has already left, and it's impossible to find a good excuse to get out of it now. You can only comfort my sister and tell her not to be depressed, as it's bad for her health. Let her see some things, and in time, everyone will forget about it."

As soon as Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, her father said helplessly, "That's all we can do."

Lin Qinghuan looked at her father and said, "Dad, my sister's reputation is ruined, but I'm still here, right? Qin Zhen, that rich man from the city, is so good to me. I'll ask him to introduce me to a city person so you can be his father-in-law and bring you honor."
