Lin Qing looked at her father in disbelief and blurted out, "Father, are you trying to kick me out?"
Lin's father looked at Lin Qingxiao with a serious expression, his eyes full of disappointment.
“I raised you to adulthood and treated you with the utmost kindness and righteousness, yet you are blind in both eyes and heart, unable to distinguish right from wrong. I don’t want such a foolish son!”
After listening to her father's words and seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask herself, "Am I really an unreasonable person?"
Seeing her father's heartless expression, Lin Piaoxue's heart sank. Her father was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with her. If things continued like this, her status in the family would decline further, and she would even have endless chores to do every day. This was not the life she wanted!
We must come up with a solution that satisfies both sides.
Hearing what Lin's father said in the room, Lin's mother was so angry that her eyes turned red. She rushed out of the room and came to the door of the main room, staring intently at Lin's father who was standing in the courtyard.
Seeing the fierce look in Lin's mother's eyes, Lin's father narrowed his eyes, realizing that she hated him.
Lin's mother said through gritted teeth, "If you keep belittling Piaoxue and the eldest son, I'll fight you to the death."
Mr. Lin looked at Mrs. Lin sternly and asked in a deep voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
“Yes, you’re wrong. In my eyes, Piaoxue and the eldest son are the best,” Lin’s mother said.
Looking at Lin's mother's stubborn appearance, Lin's father sighed and said, "It's true that a doting mother spoils her son. All four children have been ruined by you."
"You're talking nonsense! The eldest son and the others will only get better and better. That brat Lin Qinghuan is the one who's completely useless," Lin's mother said angrily.
Lin's father was enraged by Lin's mother. "How many times have I told you, Qinghuan is also your own daughter. You can't favor one over the other. It's because of your attitude that the eldest son and the others reject Qinghuan. Do you even deserve to be a mother?"
"The moment I see Lin Qinghuan, it's like seeing your dead mother. I just can't bring myself to like her," Lin's mother said.
When Lin's father heard Lin's mother cursing his dead mother, his anger intensified.
"If you disrespect my mother again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Lin's mother scoffed, "How do you intend to treat me rudely? Are you going to hit me, or send me back to my parents' home?"
Looking at Lin's mother's arrogant attitude, Lin's father was certain that he wouldn't do anything to her.
"I won't hit you, and I won't let you go back to your parents' home. I can divorce you, and you can remarry with Piaoxue and the eldest son!"
Seeing that Lin's father didn't seem to be joking, Lin's mother felt frightened!
In the past, when Lin's father was angry, he would at most ask her to go back to her parents' home to reflect on her actions. Today, he actually brought up divorce. Did she cross his bottom line?
She's getting on in years; where can she go if she leaves the Lin family? Who would want to marry her?
Lin Qing and Lin Piaoxue knew that their father had only wanted to teach them a lesson, but now he was really giving up on them. They panicked. Their father was actually going to kick their mother out of the house, taking them with him.
Lin Qing hurriedly said, "Father, I am your son, and the eldest son in the family. You can't kick me out."
Lin's father always planned for Lin Qing's sake, but Lin Qing didn't appreciate it, which really chilled his heart. He also thought that if he could be so heartless to Qing Huan, he would treat him the same way in the future.
Does being the eldest son mean you can do whatever you want?
He's 23 years old, and all he does is loaf around and wait for his family to earn money to get him a wife. He doesn't try to find anything to do, and he's quite arrogant, as if he's something special and that his family's poverty is a burden to him.
The more Lin's father thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Qing was utterly worthless and had a lot of flaws. How could he have thought he was so good before?
They're really blinded by a single leaf!
Lin's father saw through Lin Qing's character and no longer wanted to let his arrogance run rampant. He looked at Lin Qing with a resolute expression and said firmly, "I can do it. You are a morally corrupt, selfish, cold-hearted, and self-righteous eldest son. I don't need you!"
Lin Qing's face turned pale. Just because he spoke up for his mother and Piaoxue, his father belittled him so much?
Am I really like what my father said?
No, he wasn't that kind of person, Lin Qing denied that she was such a despicable person.
Seeing her father's indifferent expression, Lin Piaoxue had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea: they could divide the family property!
It would be better if Mom took care of her and her older brother, and Dad took care of Lin Qinghuan. After the family split up, Dad and they would be two separate families, and he couldn't control them or beat them at will. Most importantly, she could still live a carefree life as before.
Lin Piaoxue thought of a perfect solution, her eyes instantly shining as she looked at her father and said, "Dad, even if you don't like my eldest brother, you can't kick him out! At most, you can separate him from his family and let him live on his own."
Lin's mother's expression changed drastically, and she said loudly, "We cannot separate the family."
"Mom, why can't we separate the family? We can still live our lives even if we separate," Lin Piaoxue asked, puzzled.
“What do you know? I said we can’t separate the family, and that’s final,” said Lin’s mother.
Which family doesn't separate after the son gets married? Lin Qing separated before getting married. What will outsiders think of him? As soon as he goes out, people will gossip about him. No family will be willing to marry their daughter to him in the future. He will be a bachelor for life.
"Mom, what are you afraid of? At worst, you can take me and my older brother with you, and Dad can take Lin Qinghuan with him," Lin Piaoxue said.
Lin's father laughed in anger. Lin Piaoxue wanted to get rid of him because she saw that he had a problem with her and was no longer under her control.
Lin's father also wanted to test Lin Qing, so he looked at Lin Qing and said, "If you are both willing to stay with your mother, it's not impossible."
When Lin Piaoxue heard that her father was willing to divide the family property, her face lit up with joy. Worried that her father might want the convenience store, she took the initiative to say, "We want the convenience store."
The small shop was the only one in the village, and it was a tiled house. It was a place where she could make money. There was also a room behind the shop where she could live in the future.
"Piaoxue, shut up! I'm not going to split up the family!" Lin Qing said unhappily.
Only a fool would separate the family before marriage; wouldn't that just invite gossip and criticism? Besides, Lin Qing has always been a shrewd person, and she would never separate the family at this time.
"I also disagree with splitting up the family. If Piaoxue is willing, she can move out and live on her own. Just don't drag me and my older brother into it." Lin Feng's loud voice rang out at the gate.
Lin Qing was overjoyed to see Lin Feng return, exclaiming, "Second brother, you're back!"
Lin Feng gave a soft "hmm" and gave Lin Qing a reassuring look, indicating that he didn't need to rush.
Seeing Lin Feng's calm and composed demeanor, Lin Qing's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
Lin Feng was worried that his parents would start arguing again, so he asked his mother to watch the convenience store while he came back to check on things. When he returned, he heard Lin Piaoxue propose dividing the family property, and his father actually agreed.
How could he not know what Lin Piaoxue was thinking? Her older brother had also figured it out. It was just that their father didn't want to spoil her anymore, so she wanted to sideline him. And their mother doted on her so much, and she had her mother completely under her control. After the family split up, the house would be her personal fiefdom, and they would follow in Lin Qinghuan's footsteps, working hard every day, only to have all their hard-earned money squandered by Lin Piaoxue.
Lin Piaoxue was scheming against them, but she also wanted to see if he and her elder brother would agree.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Piaoxue and said, "I also disagree with splitting up the family. If Piaoxue is willing, she can separate and live on her own. Just don't drag me and my older brother into it."
Lin's father's lips curled up slightly. Lin Qing and Lin Feng weren't completely foolish; they knew what was in their best interest. Lin Piaoxue's little scheme had gone down the drain and was destined to fail.
