Lin Xia took out her phone and blocked Lin Haoran, Zhang Wanru, and Lin Rou.
If she had acted a little slower, she would have had a chance to confront Lin Haoran. She wasn't entirely useless; her scumbag father even wanted her to beg Dong Shu for help for the Lin family.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan sat there stiffly. Although she had repeated the words she had just said in her mind many times, actually saying them aloud still left her feeling unsettled for a long time.
She couldn't accept that she, a dutiful daughter, had become the rebellious child in her parents' eyes, and that she would be homeless like Lin An from now on.
"Xia, did I do something wrong? Am I being too unfilial? Will Mom and Dad not be able to survive?" Lin Wan asked.
Lin Xia looked shocked and exclaimed in surprise:
"Come on, how much more filial do you want? While others are out having fun every day, you're studying hard to learn business. While others are dating, you're earning money to support your family. Stop being such a saint."
“You are the Lin family’s biggest bloodsucker, and our parents are vampires. If you don’t leave the Lin family, they will drain you dry sooner or later.”
"My parents are not even fifty years old yet, which is the perfect age for them to take risks, so there's no need to worry."
"Besides, they have a good son, Lin Zhe. Raising a son is for old age security, so go find your son."
Lin Xia shrugged, indicating that the Lin family was too small to care, and they didn't need to worry about it.
Lin Wan was a little surprised to hear this; she was surprised that her silly younger sister could see things so clearly one day.
"Xia, from now on we'll have to rely on ourselves. Life might be tough, so be prepared. But I'll do my best to take care of you," Lin Wan continued.
Lin Xia frowned slightly. She didn't like her older sister worrying so much; people who worry too much have a hard life. She said earnestly to Lin Wan:
"Sister, your thinking is wrong. I think whether life is bitter or not has little to do with what you have, but has the most to do with your mindset. Even the world's richest person has things they can't get. If your desires are too strong, you will always be in pain. Being content with what you have makes you happy, and there is nothing bitter about it."
"Also, sister, don't always worry about others. I hope you think more about yourself. I hope you have your own life and live happily."
After hearing her sister's words, Lin Wan felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.
Seeing that her eyes were red, Lin Xia thought she had said something wrong and quickly handed her a tissue:
"Big sister, I'm not blaming you for being too nosy. I just feel sorry for you. You're my sister, why do you always want to be my mother?"
Lin Wan sniffed and smiled, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just amazed that you've grown up."
“I’m older, you’ve forgotten, I’m only four years younger than you.”
"By the way, big sister, you just said on the phone that you're going to start a business. What exactly are you going to do? Aren't you going to Beijing?"
"I'm not going anymore. I don't want to work for someone else anymore. I want to be my own boss."
“I want to start a real business, stop being an agent and operator, and start from the source by opening my own factory, but I haven’t decided what product category to focus on yet,” Lin Wan replied.
"Sister, do you have enough money to start your business?"
"I sold the car for 600,000 yuan, which should be enough to open a small factory. If that's not enough, I'll look into applying for some business loans. The government usually provides some support for small and micro enterprises."
"Sister, I have over 200,000 yuan in savings. I'll give you 200,000 yuan."
Lin Xia had opened a bag of potato chips at some point, and while chewing, she said, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel.
"Forget it, what if we lose money?" Lin Wan didn't want her younger sister to share the risks of starting a business with her.
When Lin Xia used to work, her monthly salary was 5,800 yuan. After deducting social insurance and housing fund, she only received 5,000 yuan. If she went out to work in the future, she would probably only earn that much. She would have to save for three or four years without eating or drinking to save up 200,000 yuan, which is not a small amount.
Lin Xia seemed not to have heard Lin Wan's words. She wiped the greasy snack stains off her hands with a tissue, opened her Alipay app, and transferred the money directly.
"What if you make a lot of money? Consider this an investment. Remember to give me a share of the profits. I won't start a business with you. Running a factory is too tough. I know my limitations."
Looking at the extra 200,000 yuan in her phone, Lin Wan couldn't help but tear up again, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
......
Inside the Lin family villa, Lin Rou felt utterly dejected.
When people are too tired, they tend to snore. She was kept awake all night by Zhang Wanru's snoring.
Poor eating, poor sleeping, and mental and physical exhaustion are undoubtedly extremely harmful to a woman who has just had a miscarriage.
When the sun was high in the sky, Zhang Wanru finally woke up, and the world was quiet again.
However, Lin Rou couldn't sleep either.
The two went downstairs and saw Lin Haoran sitting on the stairs, his face red and his neck thick, seemingly angry with someone.
Lin Haoran's eyes blazed with anger the moment he saw Zhang Wanru. He couldn't raise any of his children well, but he didn't want to waste time arguing with Zhang Wanru. He just wanted something practical.
Lin Haoran pointed at Zhang Wanru and said, "Go make breakfast, I'm hungry."
He felt that since the nanny and housekeeper were no longer there, the cooking should be his wife's responsibility.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wanru didn't think that way.
She had slept for a long time and had recovered her strength well; her voice was full of energy.
"Old Deng! Who do you think you are? If you want to eat, cook for yourself. I don't have time to serve you."
Lin Haoran's eyes widened. In just two days, a person could change so much.
He even suspected that Zhang Wanru's previous dignified lady-like demeanor was all an act, and that her true nature was that of a shrew.
Zhang Wanru ignored his shock, walked past him, and went straight downstairs.
Behind him came Lin Haoran's angry curses: "Vulgar! Ugly!"
Zhang Wanru walked into the courtyard and sat on a rattan chair. Although it was a bit sunny, at least there was a table and chairs, making it convenient to eat.
"Order some takeout for Mom, I want seafood porridge," she said to Lin Rou behind her.
"Seafood porridge is quite expensive," Lin Rou whispered. She was willing to do it for her, but not for money.
Zhang Wanru glared at Lin Rou: "Order whatever you like, I'll transfer the money to you."
She's not short of money, so she definitely needs to eat well.
After hearing this, Lin Rou opened a food delivery app, found a high-end seafood restaurant, and ordered seafood porridge and side dishes for two people.
As for her father, Lin Haoran, Lin Rou figured her mother would never pay his share, so she decided to just let him go hungry.
Money can't buy you a lean physique in old age. Skipping a couple of meals is like dieting. From another perspective, how can this not be considered a form of filial piety?
