Lin Shanfu had thought no one knew about this, but after his niece said those words to him today, he started to panic.
Lin Xiazhu didn't expect Lin Shanfu to listen to her, but she still had to remind him. If he insisted on cheating like he did in her previous life, there was nothing she could do.
She has her own things to do and can't keep an eye on him all the time. She just hopes he can be more responsible, control himself, and not do anything wrong.
The guests had all left; Lin Chacha and the others had gone upstairs. Only Xiao An was still waiting for her, and he had overheard everything she had just said.
"Sister Xiaozhu, does Uncle Lin have someone else outside?" Xiao An asked casually.
Lin Xiazhu glanced at him and sighed softly, "Xiao An, you're still young, don't think about these upsetting things. Your uncle knows what he's doing." As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out and pat his head.
But this action seemed a bit awkward to do. Xiao An was already over 1.7 meters tall, and her height had increased rapidly in the past two years. In the blink of an eye, she would no longer be able to reach his head.
Seeing that she seemed a little disappointed, Xiao An couldn't help but chuckle. Why did she love ruffling his hair so much?
The two went upstairs together, and as soon as they sat down in the living room, Lin Xiaoxue slammed the apple she was holding onto the table with a loud "bang," startling everyone.
Lin Taozi was putting a CD into the VCR, preparing to sing, when she was startled and her hand trembled, almost dropping the CD. Luckily, she managed to hold it steady.
Ever since her eldest sister took them to a karaoke bar two years ago to broaden their horizons, her eldest sister has forbade her to go to dance halls and karaoke bars anymore, because her third sister has been clamoring to go.
Annoyed by her third sister's nagging, her eldest sister bought a VCR, DVDs, a stereo, and a microphone and put them in the upstairs living room so that whoever wanted to sing could sing at home.
Lin Taozi was very satisfied with this. She liked to sing and didn't care where she sang. It would be even better if she could sing at home. She could sing however she wanted, and no one would know if she sang wrong.
But Lin Xiaoxue was very angry. Did she want to sing? She just wanted to go to a crowded place to show off her skills. She wanted to go to a dance hall and dance with everyone. She wanted to go to a karaoke bar and sing and have a lot of people applaud for her. Who was she singing for when she hid at home?
There's no fun at all.
She could have gone to the dance hall with Zhang Yu and the others tonight, but her older sister wouldn't let her. She's still very angry about it. When her older sister came up, she angrily smashed the apple she was about to eat.
"Lin Xiaoxue, do you want to be beaten?" Lin Xiazhu was furious.
With a "bang," Lin Xiaoxue had already run back to her room and slammed the door shut.
"Damn it, who are you giving a hard time to? What are you smashing? You come out here and eat the smashed apple."
Lin Chacha was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her fourth sister to sing for her, but before she could even hear the song, she was startled by Lin Xiaoxue.
This ignited the fire in her stomach. Lin Chacha jumped up from the sofa, took a few steps to Lin Xiaoxue's door, and kicked it hard.
"You come out here, you troublemaker! You're always causing trouble. You're not improving your skills, you're just getting smarter. I can't tolerate you. Do you dare to come out? I'll kick you away!"
Lin Chacha pounded on the door a few more times. With her strength, if she added a little more force, the door would fall over.
"...Alright, leave her alone and let her make a scene. Cha Cha, take it easy and don't kick the door down, it costs money." Lin Xiazhu waved her hand with a headache.
"Lin Xiaoxue's room shouldn't have had a door. She slams it all the time and acts like a spoiled princess all the time. I hate her." Lin Chacha muttered under her breath, but she had already walked back to the living room.
The most composed people throughout were probably Xiao An and Lin Taozi. The former was completely unaffected, engrossed in reading a book, while the latter grabbed microphones and began singing: "...The stars in the sky are so beautiful...the sparkling tears of lupine flowers..."
After she finishes singing, Wang Linchacha, the cheerleader, will clap enthusiastically and shout, "Sing another song, 'Where is the Road Ahead?'"
Zhao Ting had just finished showering and hung her clothes out to dry on the balcony when she came over to listen to Lin Taozi sing. She smiled and said, "Waiting for a Thousand Years is also good, and the song 'Wan Jun' that was replayed a while ago is also good."
They were talking about theme songs from TV dramas of that era. Lin Xiazhu loved to sing in her previous life, but she never sang them properly after being reborn, except for humming a few lines.
There were two microphones at home, so Lin Taozi said, "I want to sing 'My Dearest Lover.' Who wants to sing a duet with me? Brother Xiao An, would you like to sing a duet with me?"
"No." Xiao An refused without even thinking.
"Why?" Lin Taozi pouted and almost cried. Xiao An was the only boy in the family, so he was the most suitable to sing the male part. Why did he always refuse?
"Don't cry. How old are you? You still cry all the time. Xiao An doesn't like to sing, so don't force him, Peach. Second Sister will sing with you. I'll sing the male part." Lin Chacha walked over casually and picked up another microphone.
Lin Taozi sniffed and held back her tears, but then cheered up again because someone had sung a duet with her.
Afterwards, Zhao Ting also sang "Wan Jun," "A girl named Wan Jun...her story is worth following..."
Everyone was listening to music, singing, and eating fruit and snacks, having a great time. But some people just couldn't stand seeing them so happy. Lin Xiaoxue stayed in her room for more than half an hour, but finally couldn't resist and rushed out of the room.
She shrieked, "What's so funny about having fun? You're all so petty. If you want to sing, why don't you go to a karaoke bar? Staying at home having fun is really beneath you. What's wrong with going out and seeing the world? Why do you have to stay cooped up at home?"
"Ah..." Lin Xiaoxue was slapped across the face as soon as she finished speaking.
Lin Xiazhu shook her hand and said sternly, "How old are you? You're always thinking about going out and fooling around. What right do you have to yell at your family? You rely on us for everything, even your allowance. How dare you yell at us?"
"...Waaah, I'm not as strong as you guys, and that's not something I can choose. I also want to do hard labor like my second sister and earn more money, but I can't do it, can I?" Lin Xiaoxue's greatest skill was shedding tears; she could cry in front of others anytime, anywhere.
"Peach doesn't know anything either, and she relies on you for food and clothing. Why don't you hit her? Why doesn't Second Sister scold her?"
"Peach is so well-behaved and obedient, unlike you who are so troublesome and dare to yell at the elders. A slap is the least I can do. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll smash your mouth, believe me?" Lin Xiazhu let out a heavy sigh of frustration.
She hadn't been this angry in a long time, and Lin Xiaoxue had been behaving herself for a while. She had thought Lin Xiaoxue was starting to improve, but it turned out she was still going astray.
"Get out of your room. Don't step out of your room again without my permission." Lin Xiazhu's voice was as cold as ice shards.
This meant she was really angry. Lin Xiaoxue was still intimidated by her and didn't dare to say anything more. She covered her face and quickly went back to her room, but she ran out again as soon as she went in, still holding the clothes she had just changed out of, and forcefully rushed towards Zhao Ting's grandmother.
"Help me do the laundry." Everyone washes their own clothes, even Xiao An, but Lin Xiaoxue always shirks her responsibilities.
