Chapter 21: All Ruined (Page 1/2)
She had been missing for several days, not just a few hours. Huo Qingci must have been scared out of his wits. He might even go to the police station to report the case immediately.
[Master, why do you care so much about Huo Qingci? ]
[Because he's nice to me, it's normal for me to worry about him.]
Xiaozhi shook his bulky mechanical head left and right, "You humans are really weird. You always like to cause trouble for yourself."
Lin Man hid in the space, she was thinking, how should she leave the Lin family now?
At this time, the desk in Lin Guosheng's room caught fire and the flames shot up into the sky. Lin Yang, Lin Chao and Shen Jing were awakened by the continuous thunder and came out to check.
Lin Yang asked with a depressed look on his face, "Xiao Chao, why did you come out?"
Lin Yang suddenly screamed, "Brother, hurry up and put out the fire, my parents' room is on fire."
Shen Jing cried, "What's going on? Where is the fire?"
Lin Yang yelled, "Oh no, Mom and Dad's room is really on fire."
"Then what are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and call your parents out."
Lin Chao rushed to Lin Guosheng's door and slammed it hard, but there was a thud and Lin Chao fell to the ground without being able to control himself.
This is so strange, why didn’t my parents lock the door tonight?
Lin Chao rubbed his butt, got up from the ground, rushed into the house, saw his mother lying on the ground, and quickly helped her up.
"Mom, why are you sleeping on the floor?"
As soon as Lin Chao finished speaking, Lin Yang rushed into the room and looked at the burning desk. "What are you still standing there for? Take Mom away!"
"Mom, there's a fire, wake up quickly!" Lin Chao called out several times, but when he saw that he couldn't wake his mother up, he slapped her in the face in a hurry.
Zhou Ping finally woke up. Before she could even see the person in front of her, she started cursing, "Damn Lin Guosheng, how could you hit someone so easily?"
"Mom, it's me! Our house is on fire, get up and run!"
Zhou Ping got up from the ground and stumbled out, yelling as he ran, "Ah! There's a fire? Son, run!"
When Lin Chao saw his mother leave, he also rushed out quickly.
Lin Yang's mother and brother left. She reached out and pulled his father, Lin Guosheng, off the bed, patting his cheek gently. "Dad, Dad, wake up! Wake up! Our house is on fire."
Lin Guosheng slowly opened his eyes, "Yang'er, why are you in our room?"
"Dad, hurry up, our house is on fire."
"Fire? Where's the fire?"
When Lin Guosheng reacted, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He pushed Lin Yang away and rushed out.
Lin Yang was speechless as he watched his father leave. Why was his father like this? Fortunately, the fire was not very big now, otherwise, wouldn't this have cost him his life?
After Lin Yang came out of the room, Lin Guosheng rushed in again with a bucket of water.
Zhou Ping and Shen Jing followed closely behind, also carrying a basin of water and rushing into the room. "Hurry up and get some water, put out the fire!"
Lin Chao and Lin Yang naturally would not just stand by and watch. They went back and forth to fetch water several times and finally put out the fire on the burning desk.
"Why did our house catch fire?" Lin Guosheng muttered to himself.
The desk had long been carbonized and its original appearance could no longer be seen, and the wall next to the desk was also smoked black.
Lin Guosheng looked at the carbonized desk and was so angry that he picked up a bucket and smashed it hard on the desk. The charcoal desk shattered into pieces with a snap.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"There were 600 yuan in the drawer, along with my household registration, food voucher, and photos... I think it's all gone. It's over! It's really all over now."
Lin Yang was so frightened that the color drained from his face. Lin Chao sighed, "Alas!"
"You can earn money again if you lose it. Fortunately, everyone is fine." Shen Jing comforted him.
Zhou Ping said angrily, "Don't you mind your waist hurting when you're standing and talking? It's not just one or two yuan. It's six hundred yuan. What will Shuangshuang do without that money?"

After she finished speaking, she slapped her thigh and lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum. "God damn it, why did lightning strike our family out of nowhere? Wuuuuuu, the money, all the money is gone."
Lin Guosheng frowned and asked Lin Yang, "Lin Yang, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Dad, our house was struck by lightning. There was a lot of thunder and lightning just now, and several tiles on the roof of our room were broken off."
Lin Chao echoed, "My room, too. At first I thought it was hail. I turned on the light and saw tiles all over the floor."
Lin Guosheng looked up at the roof of his room and saw several large holes. He was a little scared. Their house was struck by lightning out of nowhere?
"That's good. The money to buy your sister a job is gone."
Lin Chao suddenly said, "Could it be that my parents are being punished by God for driving my sister away?"
"Shut up, Lin Man isn't from our Lin family, what retribution did she get?"
Lin Chao and Lin Yang were stunned. "What? Lin Man isn't a member of our Lin family? Then who is she?"
Lin Guosheng said coldly: "Your mother brought her from the hospital."
Lin Chao asked doubtfully, "What about my sister?"
"Your sister had some heart problems when she was born, so your mother replaced her with another one." Lin Guosheng's eyes flashed.
Only he and Zhou Ping knew the truth. Their daughter looked like a chick when she was born. In order to let her child live a good life, his wife was obsessed with exchanging her daughter with the child of a rich family.
He found out later that it was no use looking for her because the family used pseudonyms and he didn't know where to find his own daughter.
Shen Min thought, no wonder the parents-in-law treated her sister-in-law so badly, it turns out that bitch Lin Man is not a member of the Lin family!
Hahaha, my mother-in-law is so insidious. She exchanged her sick child who could not be raised for a healthy child with someone else, and used the exchanged child as a maid and nanny.
Lin Chao no longer cared about Lin Man. After all, she was not a member of the Lin family. Lin Yang frowned and changed the subject, "Dad, don't we have other savings?"
Lin Guosheng then remembered that he and Zhou Ping had stuffed all the family's passbooks, money and various bills into a jar under the bed.
Fortunately, those things are still there, otherwise their family would not even be able to afford the money to repair the house.
Lin Man said to her son and daughter-in-law, "You two should go out first. It's getting late, go to bed!"
Lin Chao, Lin Yang, and Shen Min were kicked out. Lin Guosheng locked the door. Zhou Ping jumped up from the ground and said, "Lin Guosheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you tell them about that?"
"Lin Man has left anyway, so what does it matter whether we tell her or not? We don't even know if our daughter is still alive."
Looking at the frail and miserable Lin Shuang, he felt as if he were seeing his own daughter. He then transferred all his love for his own daughter to Lin Shuang.
Lin Guosheng took out the jar from under the bed and found that all the things were there. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's forget about Lin Shuang's job. Fortunately, our savings are still there."
Zhou Ping sighed, "Bad luck has really struck me tonight. If I don't have money to buy a job, what will our Shuangshuang do?"
"The marriage between the two families has been decided. At worst, we can take the betrothal gifts from the man and give them all to Shuangshuang. If Lin Man comes to ask us to transfer her household registration, we can blackmail her for more.
I went to the hospital yesterday and asked, and the one with the surname Huo is from a military family. His grandfather was a military commander, and his parents are researchers. Everyone in the family has a high salary."
"How did that bitch Lin Man find such a good man? What do you say we let Shuangshuang befriend Lin Man and let her marry that Huo guy?"
"Didn't you see that Dr. Huo is handsome? Lin Shuang is just like that. She lost all her hair after being struck by lightning. How could anyone be attracted to her?
Besides, Dr. Huo is going to Hainan Island soon. Are you willing to let her marry so far away and suffer?"
