Chapter 98 Do you know how my eldest sister died?
Third Sister Lin looked around the new house and exclaimed, "This new house is so magnificent and solid! It's one of the best in our country. Fourth sister, did the Zhou family really let you live in the new house? Didn't your parents-in-law move in?"
Generally, when a new house is built, the head of the family will move in first. From the perspective of filial piety, parents-in-law are the most important.
Lin Shiqi also smiled and replied, "My parents-in-law are used to living in the old house next door. This new house was originally built as a tofu shop for us. We have to take care of the business, so we moved here. Besides, there is a small door connecting the two houses, which means that the new house and the old house are together, we are all one family, there is no need to make so many distinctions."
"Fourth sister, your parents-in-law are so nice." Third sister Lin was truly envious.
After that, she stopped talking about the house. "Fourth sister, I've been busy with embroidery recently and have no time to come and see you. I just heard that your husband has recovered from his illness. Is it true?"
“It’s true.”
Third Sister Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "God is truly watching over us. Fourth Sister, your life will be better from now on."
I am truly happy for Lin Shiqi.
Lin Shiqi also smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Third Sister."
The two sisters chatted for a while.
Third Sister Lin finally revealed her purpose. "Fourth sister, I heard about what happened to my parents. They came to you in public to ask for money and embarrass you in the Zhou family. It was wrong of them. You know their personalities. They speak bluntly and hurt feelings. Don't take it to heart and don't be angry."
"I'm not angry! This kind of person is not worth my anger." Lin Shiqi said nonchalantly.
Third Sister Lin said earnestly, "Fourth sister, don't say angry words. No matter how wrong our parents are, they are still our parents. They are definitely wrong to ask for fifty taels of silver. Your Zhou family has just started their business not long ago. How can you give them so much money? Besides, what do they want so much money for?
But, fourth sister, your parents have a hard life too. Your father has never been as strong as other men and can’t do any hard work. In our Lin family, it’s always your mother who has to worry about the livelihood. She’s also often sick and can’t make any money. We don’t have many acres of land at home and we’ve sold them all. Your two younger brothers are neither too old nor too young and can’t do heavy work in the fields and can’t make any money…
Mother is also feeling miserable. The whole family needs to eat. Our elder sister and second sister are gone, so mother can only count on us two sisters. I know you had a hard life in the past, so please don’t ask me to ask you. I will think of any solution I can think of…”
These words, if said in the past, would definitely have moved the original owner.
Now Lin Shiqi doesn't buy it anymore.
"Third sister, your thinking is fundamentally wrong. Everyone is responsible for their own life. Not to mention that both of us have our own families, even if we don't have any and are single, we can't spoil them! Lin Laogen has been a gigolo all his life, and now Lin Dagen and Lin Xiaogen have men with hands and feet, and they also want to continue to be gigolos of women. As women of the Lin family, do we have to be so unlucky to support them? Look at other men. Are they as useless as them, living by sucking the blood of women?"
Third Sister Lin was dumbfounded. "Fourth Sister, how can you say that about our father? About our brothers? Father is old, and the brothers are still young. Besides, they are the roots of our Lin family. Aren't boys all naughty? They are slow to understand. We are girls and older sisters. We should take care of the younger brothers more. In the future, when the younger brothers grow up, they will also be our support."
"Third sister, you said that my brother is young and slow to understand things. Then, is my father old and mature? Besides, which boy from a poor family doesn't become the head of the family early? What's the use of a man who has no manliness at all and only knows how to steal and cheat and rely on the woman at home to support him? How can he be a support for you?"
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Shiqi had a little bit of attachment to her, she really wouldn't want to waste any more time talking to her.
Third Sister Lin looked dejected, "Fourth sister, you have so many thoughts now. Didn't you persuade me before that my two younger brothers are the roots of our Lin family? Should I help them? At the very least, they are still our brothers and parents. This is fate! A son will not dislike his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not dislike his family's poverty. Isn't this the truth?"
"These are two completely different concepts. I don't dislike them for being ugly. It's just that everyone has their own life. As parents, they only exploit their daughter. They are not worthy of being parents. Third sister, let me be fair. If you really care about Lin Dagen and Miss Lin, you can't spoil them. Otherwise, they will only become more and more useless."
Third Sister Lin stared at Lin Shiqi in a daze.
"Fourth sister, you look so strange now. Have you suffered a blow? Why do you seem like a different person? Are you being forced to say these things? If someone is forcing you, tell me."
Lin Shiqi sighed.
Can't communicate with her.
There is a huge difference in thinking between the two people.
"Third sister, do you know how our eldest sister died?" Lin Shiqi asked her simply.
Third Sister Lin was stunned. "Eldest sister committed suicide because her husband divorced her and her daughter was kidnapped by a man. She was so disheartened that she committed suicide!"
Lin Shiqi sneered, "That's what your parents told you! Your eldest sister died because her parents sold her daughter. Her husband's family asked her to find the child, but she couldn't, so they divorced her. She then hanged herself at the door of her husband's house. It was your parents who forced your eldest sister to death! It was your parents who sold your eldest sister's daughter, and the most unethical way was to marry her to a ghost and bury her alive..."
Third Sister Lin couldn't believe it.
"Fourth sister, who told you that? How could my parents sell my eldest sister's child? My eldest sister's child got lost and was kidnapped by someone else! And they even arranged a ghost marriage. Who told you such a horrible thing? Even if you are dissatisfied with my parents, you can't assume such malicious intent about them!"
"Also, your parents sold you for your own good, because the Zhou family is a kind family, and they let you come here to survive. They sold your second sister because life at home was really hard. Look, aren't you doing well now? Your second sister might be working as a maid in some wealthy family, and she's living a good life!"
Lin Shiqi didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"Then if our parents want your life, will you give it to them, Third Sister?"
Third Sister Lin hesitated and said, "I, I'll give it to you."
"What if I told you that life and death are worse than this? Would you be willing to do that?"
Third Sister Lin's eyelids twitched for no reason. "Father and mother wouldn't do that. Fourth sister, you think too badly of them. They just have a hard time and want us sisters to help them. They won't kill us."
If you don't agree with each other, don't say anything.
Lin Shiqi didn't say much, "Third sister, if you are free, please stay and have a meal before leaving."
Third Sister Lin was always reserved. "No, that's not necessary. Fourth sister, listen to me again. Dad and Mom have their own sufferings..."
