Chapter 83: Everything depends on

human effort The seeds broke through the soil, the grass was bathed in the spring breeze, a handful of warm and bright sunlight penetrated the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled into the hospital's delivery room, the baby's cry sounded, a warm breeze blew outside the window, and the birds flapped their wings, as if the whole world was celebrating the birth of a new life.

"Look at this kid, when he just came out, his crying scared me." The woman raised a loving smile on her weak and sweaty face.

The man held the newborn baby in his arms, his whole body was filled with joy: "The eyes are like mine, and the nose is like yours."

The woman looked up, frowned and asked: "Where is the other baby?"

"Oh, he's still in the incubator." The joy between the man's eyebrows faded a little, "He's weak, and even his cry sounds like a cat. Tsk, it seems difficult to raise him."

"Is he sick? It won't cost a lot of money, will it?" The woman asked cautiously, her tone tinged with some worry, "Otherwise, give him to someone else to raise."

The man's face turned cold: "My son, why should I give him away?"

"Keep him, so that the Lin family won't be unable to raise two children."

The woman murmured, lowered her head, and pinched the corner of the quilt with her skinny fingers.

Spring passed and autumn came, and the two children grew up gradually.

The strong boy was sweating profusely in the sunshine and on the grass, with a bright smile on his face.

The sick child was not allowed to step out of the door, and there was always a faint smell of Chinese medicine on his body. He lowered his head and looked at his younger brother who was playing football in the small garden, with a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

At the gate of the courtyard, the roar of cars came from far away.

Holding a small leather ball, the dirty little boy immediately ran forward. He laughed loudly. Just when he was about to hug him intimately as usual, the man pushed him away and shouted: "Get away, you are not doing your job every day, can you learn from your brother!"

As he said that, he kicked the muddy leather ball away, stepped on his leather shoes, and strode into the villa.

"Ape is just at the age of playing, why are you so fierce?" The woman came out of the kitchen and happened to hear the noise at the door. She frowned and said, "Don't vent your anger about work on the children."

The man tugged at his tie irritably, slumped on the sofa, and looked coldly at his wife gently helping up the aggrieved little son.

"Where's Jinjin?" He looked around and didn't see his other son.

The woman wiped her hands and said unhappily, "He's upstairs, he's in a bad mood again. I told him not to go out, but he sneaked out in the morning and got a heat stroke."

"He's weak to begin with, sneaking out in the dog days of summer, isn't that ridiculous? He got angry after I said a few words to him. I ran up and down to boil medicine and I didn't say anything, but he gave me a cold shoulder."

The woman kept complaining, and the man was annoyed. He said loudly, "Don't be so partial." Then he turned around and walked upstairs.

"You're crazy, you act as if you're not partial." The woman rolled her eyes and muttered softly.

The door was ajar, and the man pushed it open and walked in.

The son who had been ignored by him for five or six years was reading a book at his desk. His face was calm and he said softly, "Jinjin, Dad is back."

Lin Zijin looked up, his lips were pale, his chin was thin, his eyes lit up, and he staggered into the man's arms, "Dad, I missed you so much."

This was the first time the man held his eldest son. He was a little at a loss, with a little disgust on his face, but the words of today's fortune-telling rang in his mind, so he raised his hand and patted Lin Zijin's back unskillfully.

"Dad, I got 100 points on this quiz again."

The boy's voice was clear, because he was weak and sick since childhood and his voice was small. He pulled the man and showed him the quiz he had taken in kindergarten a few days ago.

The man listened absentmindedly to his son's chatter. The company had recently failed in several cooperations, and the losses far exceeded the profits. The fortune teller said that it was because the Lin family had both a disaster star and a lucky star.

The disaster star would make his family broken up and heavily in debt.

The lucky star would ensure that the Lin family would be prosperous and wealthy, and would also help the Lin family to rise to a higher level.

Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of medical expenses spent on his eldest son every year, he subconsciously thought that Lin Zijin was the calamity star in the family. However, the fortuneteller shook his head mysteriously and said, "No, no, everything that rises must decline."

"Perhaps, your two sons are twins?"

"One is weak and the other is strong."

Lin's father frowned and felt surprised. It seemed that this fortuneteller was quite capable.

"The disaster star suppresses the lucky star, which leads to the Lin family's fortune getting worse and worse."

Regarding his own interests, Lin's father asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

The fortune teller shortened his beard and acted like a hermit: "The secret cannot be leaked."

"Tsk." Lin's father clicked his tongue impatiently and took out a card from his wallet, "The password is six 8s, and there are 50,000 in the card."

"Since Mr. Lin is so sincere, I will give you a reminder." The fortune teller took the bank card and his smile became more sincere.

"Yin and Yang are born together, and the two brothers are one." The fortuneteller stopped at that point and didn't make it clear. "Mr. Lin is usually busy with his career, so it should be difficult for him to take care of the family affairs. Why not ask the youngest son to take care of the eldest son? Isn't this what he should do?"

Lin's father suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, the younger son had been competing for the nutrition of the older son since before he was born, which caused Jinjin to be weak and sick after he was born. This is a debt he owed, and he should pay it back.

From this day on, the status of Lin Zijin and Lin Zipei instantly reversed.

The former became the apple of the family's eye, and the latter was labeled as "paying the debt" and became Lin Zijin's personal slave without complaint.

Leaving the warm bed, the cold wind coming in from the door crack hit him. Lin Zipei shuddered and retracted his wandering thoughts.

He looked at Lin Zijin who was lying on the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "I... I didn't expect it to be like this."

Lin Zijin wiped away his tears and said viciously: "There are so many things you don't know!"

He would never tell anyone why he had a heat stroke that day. There is

no such thing as fortune telling in this world, no such thing as a bad star or a lucky star.

Some things are determined by human beings.

"Although I don't care about your family affairs, you seem to be making a lot of noise." The door was ajar. Peeping out through the gap, I saw Gu Bingchen, who was yawning and lazy, with a hint of impatience at being woken up.

Lin Yu rubbed his temples with a headache. If he had known from the beginning that taking Lin Zijin with him would get him into a mess, he would have bitten his lips tightly and refused to give in even if Lin's parents knelt down to beg him.

At this moment, the sky was already dawning, and the snowstorm that had been going on for a day and a night finally showed signs of stopping.

Tang Yichao got up in the dark to brush his teeth and wash his face. Before he could fully open his eyes, someone opened the door of the B&B. As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he was hit in the face by the cold wind. The water droplets that were not wiped clean immediately condensed into small ice crystals, which stuck to his face, making it cold and painful.

"Which lunatic opened the door so early in the morning?" Tang Yichao brushed the ice crystals off his face unhappily.

Gu Bingchen came in from outside and glanced at him: "I opened it, do you have any opinion?"

Tang Yichao immediately hung his head like a quail, then raised his eyes to peek: "How dare I? Hahaha."

"Silly, let's go and have breakfast." Gu Bingchen put one hand in his pocket and put the other cold hand on the back of Tang Yichao's neck, "It's not that cold, after all, you are a fire-type mutant."

Tang Yichao was startled and jumped away like a cat with its tail stepped on. He covered his neck and complained loudly: "Boss! You are too childish!"

Then he complained to Jiang Yunqi aggrievedly: "Brother Yunqi, you should control the boss, he always bullies people!"

Jiang Yunqi was standing behind Gu Bingchen. The two came back from outside together. Of course, he witnessed the scene just now and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll help you teach him a lesson."

"Forget it, you still want to teach him a lesson? You're obviously taking this opportunity to show off your affection." Like a deflated balloon, Tang Yi looked dead, vowing that he would rather go with Xie Er to experience the world than watch this couple show off their affection.

"Miss Long, sit here, the chair is for you."

Lin Yu moved his feet and pushed a clean chair over.

Long Yilan was holding a bucket of instant noodles and looking for a place to sit. Hearing this, she was stunned for a few seconds: "Thank...thank you?"

"No...no thanks." Lin Yu scratched his head, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Ji Xue looked left and right, and always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Gu Hua noticed the confusion on Jixue's face and whispered, "Captain Lin must have fallen in love with our Alan."

"Ah? Is that so?" Jixue was so surprised that he didn't even drink the milk.

"Of course, haven't you noticed that he's been very attentive recently?" Whenever there's gossip, Tang Yichao will get involved. He slurps noodles, squats on the ground and whispers, "I've observed it many times, and his eyes can't wait to stick to Sister Alan."

Xu Huili also leans over and whispers, "It seems to have been like this since the snake farm last week."

Gu Hua quickly glanced back, rubbed her chin, and said uncertainly, "Suspension bridge effect?"

Xu Huili was not so curious about how Lin Yu's feelings came about. He just smiled schadenfreudely, "Long Yilan probably doesn't like men."

"How do you know?!" Tang Yichao almost bit his tongue.

"I have eyes, unlike some people who are blind and stupid." Xu Huili shrugged. It was too stupid to squat. He stood up, pinched his numb calf, and walked aside to fiddle with the toy Rubik's cube.

They didn't deliberately avoid people during their discussion. Even though their voices weren't loud, the people present were all supernaturals. They could connect the dots by catching a few key words.

"Hey, do you really like Sister Long?" Tang Hanhan was quite familiar with Lin Yu. She tugged at his sleeve and her eyes fell on Long Yilan. She exclaimed, "You have a great taste. Sister Long is so beautiful. That face can kill a competition!"

"But... Sister Long seems to be about the same height as you." As she spoke, Tang Hanhan looked Lin Yu up and down, and said with a sigh, "I think you're not suitable."

She changed her words to be more euphemistic.

Lin Yu couldn't tell how he felt at the moment. He hadn't even started dating yet, and he was already heartbroken.

The other person's sexual orientation is not male, so no matter how attentive he is, it's useless.

"You talk too much. Have you finished eating? Let's go."

"Are you angry because of shame?"

"What the hell!"

Tang Hanhan ate the last bite of biscuit slowly, and said with a smile: "It's good that you are not angry."

The orange-red morning sun lit up in the east, and the exhaust gas raised by the car rolled up the snowflakes all over the ground.

Soon, they will arrive in the capital.
