Ignoring Qin Yaxin's angry glare, Qin Boyan's voice showed no sign of stopping.
"In fact, as my sister-in-law just explained, she did take Mom's pulse, but unfortunately, her medical skills were limited, and she couldn't save Mom. This must make her feel very guilty and remorseful, but she didn't say a word about it to us."
We kept everything to ourselves, while trying our best to live well, without worrying about making a living or dropping out of school, and then we would pack our bags and go to the countryside.
Qin Yaxin, a person can be not smart, but they cannot be stupid, nor can they take other people's efforts for granted. You, however, are both stupid and selfish, ungrateful, and resemble the "wolf in sheep's clothing" in the story of "Mr. Dongguo," utterly despicable!
"Are you my second brother? That's the impression you have of me!"
Feeling deeply insulted, Qin Yaxin burst into tears: "I have bad habits, but I'm trying to change them. Yet you're making me sound like I'm utterly wicked. Big brother, did you not hear me, or are you deliberately letting my second brother insult me so much?"
"What do you mean, 'stupid and selfish,' 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'? I'm your sister. Don't you really know what I'm like?"
Qin Yanzheng: "I've only been awake for a few days, but I know everything about our family's current situation and how each of you behaves at home."
To be honest, I'm very grateful to your sister-in-law. Because of her, our family is still a family. My second brother is noticeably more mature than before, my youngest brother has become more sensible, and my youngest sister doesn't cry all the time anymore.
But you, my second sister, have changed very little. If I hadn't talked to you that noon, you would probably still be doing things your own way and wouldn't help your sister-in-law with housework.
What does this show? It shows that your second brother is right. You are very selfish. You don't think about your family or their feelings. You only care about your own happiness.
But have you ever thought about it? Your family can tolerate you and be tolerant of your willfulness, but once you go out into the world, will others treat you the same way they would your family?
You should know the answer in your heart.
Second sister, if you're wrong, you're wrong. Don't deny it; be brave enough to face your mistakes.
"It's only because your sister-in-law isn't arguing with you today; if it were anyone else, they'd probably slap you across the face!"
The younger sister-in-law questioned her older sister-in-law about why she didn't save her mother-in-law. Even disregarding other factors, just being questioned like that gives the older sister-in-law reason to slap her.
After all, this is no small matter; it's about failing to help someone in distress, or to put it more politely, standing idly by. But whether it's failing to help or standing idly by, it doesn't do the sister-in-law any good.
If the story gets out and spreads, the sister-in-law's reputation will be ruined.
"..."
Qin Yaxin lowered her head almost to her chest, biting her lower lip tightly, so quiet that she just wanted to minimize her presence.
Actually... when she asked Song Lan, her sister-in-law, she wasn't thinking about respect or anything like that. She just wanted to clear up her doubts. As for whether she was interrogating her, it was probably because her tone wasn't very good at the time... Qin Yaxin silently comforted herself like this, but wasn't that just making excuses for herself?
If she truly respected Song Lan, if she were clear-headed and knew that Qin's mother's illness had no hope of being cured without surgery—and to put it another way, the doctor had said that even if Qin's mother underwent surgery, there was a high chance she wouldn't survive the operation.
Qin Boyan said that Qin Yaxin knew this. Since she knew, why did she directly question Song Lan just because she understood traditional Chinese medicine and her skills were quite good?
Surgery requires incisions, which falls under the category of Western medicine. What does that have to do with Traditional Chinese Medicine?
At this moment, after hearing Qin Boyan's words and her elder brother Qin Yanzheng's remarks, Qin Yaxin realized that her actions were somewhat unreasonable, and naturally dared not say anything more.
Furthermore, Qin Yaxin herself probably doesn't realize that she has no sense of gratitude and doesn't care about her family's feelings.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that she was spoiled, spoiled into being self-centered, inconsiderate of others, and unable to see things from other people's perspectives.
However, on the other hand, given the character of Qin's parents, the fact that Qin Yaxin is almost selfish to the core shows that even though they dote on their children, they don't spoil them to an extreme—indulging their mistakes.
Therefore, it is likely that half of the reasons for Qin Yaxin's various problems stem from herself.
“Go apologize to your sister-in-law. I’m telling you this one last time: if you don’t sincerely repent and respect your sister-in-law from the bottom of your heart, then you might as well not go back to school. Instead, pack your bedding and go to the countryside to reform your mind through labor.”
Hearing Qin Yanzheng say this, Qin Yaxin was incredulous: "My older brother doesn't want me to continue my studies and wants me to go to the countryside?"
“It’s not that I want to do this or that I want you to do that, it’s just that going to school doesn’t seem to be of much use to you.”
Qin Yanzheng said calmly, "Reading can enlighten you, enlightenment is self-cultivation, and self-cultivation is being a good person. Do you think you have achieved that? Since the school makes it impossible for you to do so, go to the countryside and receive education from poor and lower-middle peasants. I believe you will have a profound understanding through labor and successfully transform yourself."
"I'll go apologize to my sister-in-law. I sincerely repent, and I promise I will truly repent!"
After leaving those words, Qin Yaxin hurriedly left without wiping away her tears.
Only the brothers Qin Yanzheng and Qin Boyan remained in the room.
"I'm very happy that you've become more composed."
Qin Yanzheng's voice broke the silence. He said, "It was wrong of me to call you over and immediately criticize you. I wronged you by accusing you of not knowing how to guide and advise your second sister, and that she was disrespectful to your sister-in-law. If you feel wronged, just say it. Don't keep it to yourself."
"Since you've already apologized, I naturally won't hold a grudge against you for such a small thing."
As soon as Qin Boyan spoke, he heard his elder brother chuckle. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and snorted, asking, "Is it that funny?" He hadn't said anything funny, so why did he have to laugh out loud?
With some unease in his heart, Qin Boyan looked at his elder brother Qin Yanzheng with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Your personality is as awkward as ever."
Qin Yanzheng suppressed his laughter and gave a remark, but the smile on his lips did not disappear.
"I have a very good temper!"
Qin Boyan snorted again and said, "There's something I need to tell you. Qin Yaxin is like a troublemaker. If she keeps offending your sister-in-law, you might lose a good wife. Anyway, I've said my piece, so you should keep that in mind."
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Yanzheng didn't quite understand.
“My sister-in-law is beautiful and gentle, and she also has such good medical skills. There must be a lot of people who like her. For example, her ex-boyfriend visited our house before our family moved here. I could tell that he still had feelings for my sister-in-law!”
