As she sat in the car on her way home, Lin Wei's thoughts remained unsettled for a long time.
According to Uncle Liu, her father most likely discovered the affair between the two, which is why he was silenced.
She just couldn't understand how Ni Fang and Xiao Yuanbing, who were five years apart in age, one from the south and the other from the north, met and got together.
And then there's the matter of revenge—
Putting aside the fact that Ni Qingguo would not let Lin Yuan go, she could not swallow the fact that none of the three members of the Lin family had died a good death.
Moreover, it's absolutely impossible for her to endure this kind of humiliation while going to school in Jiangcheng.
Lin Wei looked out the window, her hands clenched so tightly on her lap that they made a cracking sound.
A plan that could strip them bare was gradually taking shape in her mind.
-
When the siblings returned home, Ni Fang, accompanied by Ni Qingguo, had already packed her luggage.
Seeing several large bags at the door, Lin Wei quickly asked, "Mom, are you leaving now? Aren't you going to have dinner tonight?"
"What do you mean by food? If you want to eat, cook it yourself. Do I owe you anything? All I do all day is wash your clothes and cook for you."
Although Ni Fang didn't look up, you could tell how impatient she was from her tone.
Ni Qingguo laughed and said, "Weiwei, you really don't know how to care about your mother. Your father died, how could she be in the mood to cook? Also, your mother is moving to my place today, so naturally she will eat at my house. What? You two are going too? But you didn't say anything in advance, so I'm afraid my house hasn't prepared any food for you."
"No need, there are still noodles at home. I'll cook a bowl of noodles and eat with my brother in a bit."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ni Fang came out of the master bedroom carrying her luggage. "You should be able to pack everything in 5 days. Take everything you can from the house. I will also contact someone to come and see the house in the next few days, so don't delay too long."
Seeing that Ni Fang was about to leave, Lin Wei quickly called out to her, "Mom, did you see the red string around my neck? There was a copper coin hanging on it. I remember I was wearing it this morning, but it was gone when I came back."
Ni Fang's brows furrowed with impatience. "I don't know. You treasured that copper coin like it was something special, you even took it off when you took a bath. How would I know? It might have fallen on the road. Anyway, we don't have it at home. I just cleaned it up once."
"Alright then."
'Bang'
Before she could finish speaking, Ni Fang slammed the door shut as if fleeing.
The room fell silent instantly.
"Mom's gone." Lin Yuan pouted and said aggrievedly, "She didn't even look at me once, and she didn't even say a word to me before she left."
"It's okay, your sister is still here. Let's go to the kitchen and I'll cook you some noodles."
But when the two of them arrived in the kitchen—
Pots, bowls, ladles, and basins are all gone.
The noodles, rice, and flour disappeared without a trace.
The two of them also packed up and took away the remaining oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Lin Wei couldn't help but sneer, "I was wondering why those two left so quickly; they'd ransacked the kitchen."
Lin Yuan, who had been holding back her tears, burst into tears the moment she looked at the empty kitchen.
"Sister, we're out of flour, out of rice, Dad's gone, Mom's gone, we've lost everything."
Lin Wei hugged Lin Yuan in her arms. "Who said that? You still have your sister. Let's go out for dinner tonight. I have money, so we'll eat well. After we finish eating, we'll come back and pack our things. If possible, we'll leave tomorrow."
Lin Yuan wiped away the tears on her face and asked the question that had been bothering her, "Sister, where are we going? We have nowhere to go. We have no home anymore."
“Who said that? Your home is wherever your sister is. Yuanyuan, remember, home is not limited to one place. Home is a place that can bring you joy, warmth, and support, and also a place where you can rest and stay in peace.”
Lin Yuan looked at Lin Wei with a blank expression.
The next moment, Lin Wei said, "Go to Jiangcheng, to where my sister went to university, and also... to find my aunt."
"Aunt?" Lin Yuan's face showed a puzzled expression again.
It's not surprising, because Lin Yuan was only 2 years old when he last saw his aunt, on the day his grandmother passed away.
He is now 6 years old. Children don't have such long memories. If Lin Wei hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered that he had this relative at all.
"Sister, will Auntie take us in? Will Auntie's family accept us?"
Under normal circumstances, it is definitely not the case.
Because there was a rift between the two elderly members of the Lin family and their aunt, Lin Xiaomeng, and this rift was not resolved until the two elderly members passed away.
Because of this incident, Lin Dongliang, Lin's father, and his aunt's relationship was not very good, let alone the younger generation who rarely saw each other.
However, after she died in her previous life, she did stay in this world for a period of time.
After Xiao Yuanbing killed her, he and Ni Fang buried her in the wilderness. Perhaps even the heavens couldn't bear it, because the next day a heavy rain washed her body out of the mud. After being discovered, someone immediately called the police.
Unfortunately, all three members of the Lin family died at the hands of these two. Her mother refused to claim her body, and the only person still alive was her aunt.
She thought her aunt wouldn't care about her, since they had barely met since she was little and there was no real affection between them.
But after seeing her death, her aunt spent all her family's wealth trying to find the real culprit.
Just as she was about to send the murderer to jail, Xiao Yuanbing and Ni Fang had someone run over and kill her aunt.
It was precisely because of this that she was able to be reborn amidst resentment and terror.
But because of this, she gained a lot of leverage over these people.
That's right, it's the copper coin she just mentioned.
She deliberately brought it up in front of Ni Fang, creating the illusion that the copper coin had been lost.
In reality, she had already carefully kept that copper coin close to her body.
As for the origin of copper coins—
It can also be considered an opportunity for her.
The day before the college entrance examination, she was assigned to a relatively remote campus. While estimating her round-trip time by bicycle, she happened to encounter an overturned car and rescued a boy who was about her age and covered in blood from the car.
Shortly after the two men left the car, it exploded.
Lin Wei was knocked unconscious on the spot by the explosion, and when she woke up, she was in the hospital.
The boy had Lin's father give her this copper coin. Because of its exquisite design, she tied it with a red string and wore it as a necklace.
After Lin's father passed away in her previous life, they went to Ni Qing's country with Ni Fang. It seemed that less than two months later, one night when she was asleep, Ni Fang cut the red string with scissors and secretly took the copper coin.
After Lin Wei woke up, she made a scene, but those who knew the value of copper coins not only didn't help her, but also kept accusing her of being unreasonable.
She only learned the truth after her death, during the time her aunt sought justice for her.
Ni Qingguo's later wealth and Xiao Yuanbing's later opportunities were all obtained by threatening the owner of the copper coin with the debt of saving their lives.
If they hadn't obtained copper coins in this life, would they still possess immense wealth and overwhelming power?
