So she called the Chen family. The housekeeper even asked her how she found out the landline number of the Chen family's old house. Hmph, did she need to ask?
She knew this from her past life. Not only did she know the Chen family's landline number, but she also knew Uncle Chen's and Aunt Chen's phone numbers. She knew the phone numbers of everyone in the Chen family, even the private numbers they managed.
But instead of calling the housekeeper's private number, she insisted on calling the Chen family's landline and stating that she wanted to see the housekeeper, scaring him half to death. He thought he could trick her, but could he?
Fearing she would cause trouble, Butler Chen had no choice but to tell her about the Yan family's situation. In the end, he even pretended to warn her not to do anything to harm anyone in the Yan family.
Hmph, at least he still has some conscience.
Lin Xiazhu processed what she had said and quickly understood what was going on. She was also quite shocked. "That Yan Xin from the capital is already fifteen years old this year, and she's also an idiot?"
"Mmm," Yan Xin replied reluctantly.
"How stupid is he? Is it serious? Is it incurable?" Lin Xiazhu was extremely curious. How could this be?
"They say she's like an empty shell without a soul, like a doll. She needs someone to help her open her mouth to eat, and she won't scream or cry when someone hits her. She just sheds tears naturally. Isn't that like a living dead?" Yan Xin cried sadly again.
Lin Xiazhu: "..." She didn't know how to comfort her. Who would have thought things would develop like this?
Is this the rule in transmigration/rebirth novels that the same person can't exist in the same world at the same time? But Yan Xin is a transmigrator, so she should be different from the Yan Xin in the capital, right?
After pondering for a long time, a thought flashed through Lin Xiazhu's mind, but she didn't have time to grasp it. She shook her head and said hesitantly, "Try to think more positively. Actually, everyone is different in every world."
"Isn't it said that people go through countless reincarnations? After being reborn as a human in each life, one doesn't remember the memories of each previous life, so one is no longer the original self, one can say that one is a different person."
She couldn't continue making up the story; she really couldn't understand this cycle of cause and effect, this reincarnation.
Even though she was different from others, having memories of an extra lifetime, she was not transcendent; she was still just an ordinary mortal, unable to comprehend the mysteries of the world.
“But I have memories of my past life now, but I had no thoughts in that life.” Xu Yan seemed to have a realization, but she was still confused about what exactly she had realized.
"I have a bold idea: the world we live in now is a parallel world, and the rule here may be that a person can only have one soul, and two people cannot share a soul at the same time."
Lin Xiazhu thought about it more and more and felt that her guess was correct. "That must be it. I understand. My mother was actually already dead at that time, but your soul from your previous life came and occupied her body, so your soul didn't reincarnate. Although the timeline doesn't match, you were still born."
Unfortunately, you were born with only a physical body, not a soul, so you have no emotions or desires; you're just an empty shell.
Hearing her say something so fantastical, Yan Xin thought she believed her. The problem was, if Lin Xiazhu's guess was right, how could she get into her body?
No, that's not right. She's going back to the future, so her self in this world will forever be a fool?
It still doesn't seem right. She can't go back anywhere now because she can't die, so her soul can't leave. She can only be Zhao Xiaolian now.
Yan Xin looked numb and stopped crying. What was there to be sad about? She would wait until Lin Xiazhu came of age before making a decision; there was nothing she could do now.
Sigh, I wonder if there are any masters or immortals in this world who understand the affairs of Yin and Yang and reincarnation. If there are, she would be willing to spend any amount of money to invite them to save her.
"I want to be alone, so please don't bother me." Yan Xin went upstairs to her room, took a shower, and went to bed.
Lin Xiazhu sat quietly in the downstairs living room, lost in thought, her mind still in turmoil, when Lin Chacha came in.
"Sis, are you alright?" Seeing her pale face, she asked, "Where's Mom? Is she alright?"
"Don't worry, I just suddenly thought of my family, so I'm in a bad mood," Lin Xiazhu casually offered as an excuse.
"Your maternal home? Is it your maternal grandmother's family? We haven't cut ties with them for a long time. Didn't your uncle's family look down on us because we're poor?" Originally, Zhao Xiaolian's maternal family was even poorer than the Lin family.
However, later, she married off several daughters and received a lot of dowry. I heard that the youngest one married on the other side of the island. Although she married an old man, he was really rich.
He would often send money to Zhao's parents twice a year, five thousand yuan each time, sometimes as much as ten thousand. With the money, Zhao's father would take his family back to Xiaojiang County next door.
Zhao's father was not from Changhe County. He came to Zhao Family Village in Shanhe Town, Changhe County, to become a son-in-law. Because Zhao's father had many sons, his family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, let alone get married.
I heard that they have six sons in total. Two of them got married, two married into their families, and the remaining two couldn't get married. Even if they married into their families, no one wanted them, so they remained bachelors.
The two men who married into the family but no one wanted them were actually quite good-looking, but they were too lazy. They didn't like to work, were lazy and shirked their duties, and had a huge appetite. They could eat two pounds of rice in one meal, and two pounds of rice could cook a whole pot of rice.
Well, back to Lin Xiazhu, she only remembered after hearing Chacha's words that her mother, Zhao Xiaolian, also had her maternal family, which should be doing quite well now.
In his previous life, after Zhao's father brought the Zhao family back to Xiaojiang County, they bought land in the county town, built a building, and opened a restaurant on the ground floor. The business was quite good.
Later, Zhao Xiaolian tried to reconnect with her family, but they kicked her out, forbidding her from going back to beg for money, and threatening to break her legs if she dared to come back. Only then did Zhao Xiaolian give up.
“Yes, she… Mom said she ran into my uncle on the street yesterday when she came back from town. She doesn’t know how he got back to Changhe County. Mom went up to talk to him, but he scolded her and they ended up arguing…” Lin Xiazhu found that her ability to make up stories was getting stronger and stronger.
"Mom didn't come home all night just because she was scolded by my uncle?" Lin Chacha found it unbelievable. Only someone with a screw loose would do something like that.
If you've been traumatized, you should go home. It's too unsafe outside. What if you actually get caught up in the outside world?
"Where did Mom go last night until just now?"
“She didn’t go anywhere. She just stayed in a hotel for one night. She said she was too sad and kept crying. She cried until she was tired and then fell asleep. When she woke up, she started crying again. She only calmed down just now and came back.” Lin Xiazhu made up the story smoothly.
Lin Chacha initially gave a "I don't believe you" look, but she quickly realized it was probably true because her mother was mentally unstable and acting crazy, which fit her persona.
"Should we take Mom to the hospital to get her checked out?" Lin Chacha asked, quite worried.
"No, I think she's calmed down now. She'll probably be fine after a good night's sleep," Lin Xiazhu continued to reassure her.
Since her older sister said so, she naturally chose to believe her.
