Listening to Lin Wan's angry and resentful words, Lin Qingfeng took a deep breath. This was the eldest daughter whom he and his wife doted on.
He tightened the broom in his hand and said, "Okay, okay, my good daughter, if I don't punish you today, I'm not your father!"
After saying that, he pulled out his daughter who was hiding behind his wife, and swung the broom handle in his other hand fiercely.
"Ah, ah, ah mom, my dad hit me, ah, mom, my dad doesn't love me anymore, wuwu..."
Liu Mei, who was standing by, protected Lin Wan behind her like a hen protecting her chicks. "Her dad, she is still young and doesn't understand things. You should calm down first!" As she said this, she looked in the direction of Lin Yanbai, hoping that she could stand up and give her some advice.
When the courtyard was in chaos, Lin Chen came back. Looking at the situation in the courtyard, he seemed a little confused. Although he didn't know what was going on, he quickly reacted and joined the team to protect the chicks.
At this time, the chicken cub who was protected behind him couldn't stand it anymore. "Get out of the way, let my dad beat me to death! Anyway, ever since Lin Yanbai came, where are you guys even considering me? You only have Lin Yanbai in your heart and eyes. Instead of doing this, you might as well just beat me to death. It would also save me from watching my parents become someone else's, wuwuwu..."
Hearing this, Lin Qingfeng suddenly lost his temper. Looking at his daughter who was sitting on the ground and crying, he still felt distressed. He looked at his little daughter who was standing beside him.
In the sunlight, Lin Qingfeng clearly saw the irony flashing in his little daughter's eyes, but he didn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. It seemed that his little daughter still felt resentful...
He let go of the broom in his hand, letting it fall to the ground, and walked into the house with unsteady steps.
After watching the farce, Lin Yanbai felt nothing in her heart. She had a premonition of the outcome of the farce. Lin Qingfeng and Liu Mei simply couldn't bear to punish Lin Wan. It's not that they didn't love her little daughter, it's just that they loved her too little. Also, if they loved her so much, how could they be willing to send her to the countryside since she was young?
"It's you, right? You were the one who complained to dad. I really didn't underestimate you. You are not an easy person to deal with! You should stay in your hometown forever. Why did you come back?" Lin Wan, who had just been beaten up, quickly pointed the gun at Yan Bai.
"Wanwan, what are you talking about!" Lin Chen's face changed and he wished he could cover her mouth.
Lin Yanbai ignored her, turned around and went into the house with an expressionless face.
In the next few days, the Lin family was in a delicate and awkward state. The responsibility of buying meals fell on Lin Chen again, but the three brothers and sisters hardly communicated with each other, and Lin Wan and Yan Bai didn't say a word.
There were several times when Lin Chen looked at Yan Bai and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Even if he didn't say it, Yan Bai knew what he was going to say, which was nothing more than an apology for Lin Wan. Her brother, to put it nicely, has a personality as gentle as jade, but to put it bluntly, he is just a good guy. No wonder he has a very weak presence in the original work.
The only thing that Lin Yanbai remembered was his ending. Such a good-natured old man, in the end, chose to commit suicide by cutting his wrists because of a woman, leaving in such a tragic way.
———————————
That day, Lin Wan went out to visit a friend, and only Lin Chen and Lin Yanbai were at home. Suddenly, a familiar car bell sounded at the door. It was Lin Qingfeng.
He was breathing heavily, and it was easy to tell how anxious he had been on the way. Before he could calm down, he couldn't wait to speak: "Yan Bai, your diploma has come out. I asked your Uncle Li, and you did very well in the exam. It just so happens that the textile factory is accepting applications this afternoon. Ask your brother to accompany you. After you get your diploma, go directly to the factory to register!"
Then he pushed his bicycle out again: "Dad didn't ask for leave, so he went back to the factory first. Your brother knows where to sign up! Oh, and remember to bring your household registration book."
Finally, the wait arrived. Lin Yanbai couldn't wait to leave the Lin family. She looked at Lin Chen and said, "Brother, if you're not available, I can go alone. I think there must be a lot of people who have signed up. I should be able to find someone."
Listening to the girl's words, Lin Chen reached out and touched Yan Bai's head, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here, let's go!"
After saying that, he pulled Lin Yanbai out.
"My sister is so great. She knew you could do it!" Lin Chen kept talking excitedly along the way.
Lin Yanbai: ...
She finally realized that Lin Chen was in the late stage of sister complex and was hopeless.
The school was not very far away. From a distance, Lin Yanbai saw the red banner hanging above the school, which read: Warmly celebrate our student Lin Yanbai for winning the first place in the city.
Lin Yanbai: ...Principal Li, you are too realistic.
Turning his head, he saw Lin Chen’s face flushed with excitement. Yan Bai:...Not really!
Because Lin Yanbai did well in the exam, the school gave him an extra pen as encouragement. Looking at Principal Li with wrinkles on his face and Lin Chen with a look of pride and regret, Lin Yanbai felt a headache.
After finally escaping from Principal Li's "warmth" offensive, Lin Yanbai couldn't help but sigh, wondering why he didn't realize that Principal Li was a chatterbox last time.
Arriving at the textile factory, just as Yan Bai had guessed, quite a few people signed up. Lin Yanbai looked at the notice carefully. With her current education level, she could only work in the workshop operating a loom. Office positions in the Propaganda Department and the Guild required only high school students.
Lin Yanbai gritted her teeth and signed up! First, I can grab a position, and then I can find a way to transfer to another department!
Having made up his mind, Lin Yanbai went to the workshop registration office and started queuing.
The registration process went smoothly. After looking at her household registration booklet and graduation certificate, she was given a form to fill out. Just as Lin Yanbai was about to fill it out, Lin Chen came over.
"Auntie Hong, this is my sister." After saying that, she pointed at Yan Bai. The woman named Auntie Hong looked at Yan Bai and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Oh my god, this is Lin Qingfeng's youngest daughter?
"Oh, your sister is pretty good-looking! Like your dad, so handsome!" Ge Hongyan was right. Lin Qingfeng was the most popular girl in the factory when she was young. Although she is old now, she is still pretty good-looking.
At this time, Lin Yanbai had playful short hair that reached her ears, a small face the size of a palm, bright eyes, white teeth, a high nose bridge, and rosy lips. In addition, she had been staying at home for a while, so she was no longer the little black egg she was back then. At first glance, she did look more like Lin Qingfeng.
While praising, Ge Hongyan took back the form she had just handed to Yan Bai and handed over a new one.
Lin Yanbai took it in confusion. It turned out that the children of textile factory employees had to fill out a different form from other people. Lin Yanbai glanced at Lin Chen, walked to the side and started filling out the form.
