Chapter 11 Eldest Brother Lin Xiao
While Lin's parents were busy in the kitchen, Lin Xiaonuan was doing her homework diligently, and no one noticed that Lin Muyan had slipped out.
The urban village is bustling at night, with a vibrant and positive atmosphere. Various stalls have been set up along the roadside, and many tired people are walking in the moonlight, including some dressed in suits.
During the day, they might be ordinary office workers, but when they return to their urban villages, they become the sons, husbands, and fathers who support their families.
Everyone is trying their best to live their lives.
Compared to her first visit during the day, Lin Muyan is now more accepting of this place.
She enjoyed twenty years of good fortune, and even more so, the fortune of being born into a wealthy family. Now that her status has plummeted, she must be feeling sad, but at the same time, she is slowly beginning to have new hopes.
Not being the daughter of the Shen family actually has its advantages; at least from now on, she can arrange her own life.
If she stays with the Shen family, then most likely she'll go to work in the family business, attend various gatherings arranged by the family, go on blind dates with different wealthy young men, and finally choose a family that can provide assistance to the Shen family for a marriage alliance...
Now she is a child from a poor family, but she has also become a free and ordinary girl who can completely control her own life.
After walking for a while, Lin Muyan wandered to the end of the alley where there were fewer people. There was a small lake in front of her, which was the only quiet place here.
Lin Muyan walked over, and seeing that no one was around, she squatted down, took out a wooden shovel, and started digging into the grass.
This time she dug out a key.
"What's this?"
I was hoping to find the answer in the comments section, but the comments were all question marks.
[Jiaojiao has never dug up a key before, right? It seems like she only ever finds things that might be useful in the apocalypse.]
[This is indeed the first time I've seen this, but it looks like a regular security door key, worth at most one house. This thing is useless in the apocalypse, and there's only one key, no coordinates provided, so who knows which door it can open?]
[That's right, oh, that feels good! Finally, I dug up some useless junk. If she dares to dig up any treasure, I'm going to make a scene!]
Even the comments section was confused about what the key could do, so Lin Muyan was a little disappointed. She had no choice but to put it away and quietly went home.
The next day, before dawn, Lin's parents had just gotten up. Lin Jianbin had to go to work today. The burden of the whole family rested on his shoulders. Wherever there was a need for renovations, he would apply for a job there and could finish several jobs in a day.
Wang Yanqin filled his water bottle, handed it to him, and then looked at the sky.
"The weather is really strange. Yesterday it was freezing cold, but today the sun is shining brightly and the temperature has risen by more than ten degrees."
Wearing a thick cotton-padded coat today would definitely make you sweat, but Lin's father is dressed lightly and seems to really enjoy this kind of weather.
Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly returned from outside. He was only wearing a thin woolen coat, but his forehead was still covered in sweat. The couple were both taken aback when they saw him.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you rush back so early in the morning?" Wang Yanqin ran over to wipe his sweat.
Lin Xiao is very tall, but somewhat thin. His handsome, sculpted face has a few stubble ...
The couple felt heartbroken seeing their eldest son looking so haggard. Lin Xiao smiled brightly and said:
"Mom and Dad, I came back early to see my sister, she..."
I wanted to ask her what she was like, whether she was easy to get along with, and whether she had a spoiled attitude, but in the end I didn't ask.
He had already accepted this sister who had been switched at birth in a wealthy family; no matter what she was like, she was still his sister.
Just like five years ago, he knew that Shen Jiaojiao was not a child of the Lin family, but he still took care of her and treated her well as always. However, Shen Jiaojiao was seriously ill and was not good to anyone in the family.
His concern was for his parents. If his younger sister, who was raised in a wealthy family, was difficult to get along with and looked down on the family's poverty, it would upset his parents.
So he was worried and rushed back to check on things before going to work.
When Lin's parents heard that their son had come to see his sister, they smiled at each other. Wang Yanqin did not answer Lin Xiao immediately, but urged Lin Jianbin to go out.
"Hurry up and go to work, or you'll miss the subway. Don't worry, I'll take care of our son and daughter."
Lin's father missed a day of work yesterday and was indeed anxious, so he quickly packed up and went out. When he passed by Lin Xiao, he specially patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Don't worry, son, everything is fine at home. Dad's going to work now. I'll call you later."
Lin's father had passed away. Lin Xiao rarely saw his father smile so brightly, so he became even more curious and grabbed his mother's hand, urging her to tell him quickly.
Wang Yanqin was genuinely happy, and she said:
"Your sister is doing great. She has a good personality and a good temper. She doesn't mind being at home at all. Yesterday she even praised Mom's cooking and ate a big bowl of rice. Xiao Nuan, that little rascal, made fun of her for eating too much. The two sisters are sleeping in the same room now."
Lin's mother couldn't stop smiling; it was a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart, happiness overflowing even between her teeth.
Lin Xiao breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this, and was also happy for him.
The younger sister seems to be a sensible child. The Shen family is indeed a wealthy and powerful family, and they have raised his sister very well.
However, it was also because his sister was good-natured and not blinded by wealth, which led to her developing a shrewish personality.
This way, my parents will be happier. Although we're struggling financially, at least everyone in the family is doing well, and that's enough for us.
Lin Xiao rushed off to work before Lin Muyan even got up.
He landed a big order today; even veteran employees or top salespeople might not have the chance to get their hands on a hillside villa deal, but he did.
He happened to hear that the Shen family mansion was located in the hillside villa complex, and he wanted to go see Jiaojiao to see if she had been bullied after returning to the Shen family.
Jiaojiao is naturally sensitive and needs sedatives when she's manic, but she usually acts rather timid and submissive.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt that Jiao Jiao's personality was not very likable, and even made people unsure how to get along with her.
Before, at home, the whole family had to be careful, afraid of saying something wrong that might hurt or anger her.
The Shen family is a prominent and prestigious family in S City. If Jiaojiao were to join such a family, she might be looked down upon.
The barrage of comments kept floating above Lin Muyan's head, one after another. When she opened her eyes, she saw the screen filled with comments saying "So handsome".
Lin Muyan looked puzzled, but upon closer inspection, she realized that the comments were saying Lin Xiao was handsome.
Huh? Wait, Lin Xiao? Her older brother is back?
Lin Muyan quickly put on her clothes and rushed out the door.
Now, among her family members, she has no chance to meet her eldest brother, Lin Xiao. She is looking forward to seeing him, even though the comments section is full of praise for his good looks.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Wang Yanqin said, "Your brother just left."
Lin Xiao seems pretty good, our Jiaojiao likes him quite a bit.
The people who wronged Jiaojiao the most were that scheming woman and her high-level, vicious mother. Those two women truly lived up to their mother-daughter bond; they were among the first to die in the apocalypse, otherwise, it would be an injustice!
[Yes, I hate that mother and daughter the most, followed by that brat Lin Xiaonuan, and that weak and incompetent father. Lin Xiao is different from them; I quite like this older brother. He's exactly my type.]
The comment section is full of people who are obsessed with looks. At first, they condemned the entire Lin family, saying that there wasn't a single good person in the Lin family. Now they've all become fans of good looks.
Lin Muyan was speechless. She washed her face and went to wake Lin Xiaonuan up.
Lin Xiaonuan was sweating profusely in her sleep and exclaimed that she was dying of heat.
After hearing her say that, Lin Muyan realized that it was indeed very hot. The floral-patterned pajamas her mother had prepared for her were a bit cold yesterday, but this morning, she already felt extremely hot.
"Yeah, it's so hot. What's the temperature today?"
