Chapter 323 No Stepmother
Wang Xiu felt that Liu Ersao would definitely ruin her plans. After thinking it over in her mind, she turned around and went back to the small square.
She planned to file a complaint against Lin Shuhong as soon as she returned.
Inside the visitor's dormitory, Liu Ersao was lying to Lin Jinyao.
“Your mother is sick and needs money for treatment. You know your maternal grandparents’ family doesn’t have much money. We’re having a very hard time. We feel sorry for your mother, but we don’t have the money to treat her. If you have any conscience, ask your father to give us some money so we can take your mother to get treatment.”
Lin Jinyao bit her lip and didn't speak, her eyes glistening with tears.
Although she is not very old, she has experienced a lot in the past two years.
No one in her maternal grandparents' family liked her or her mother. They called her and her mother jinxes and always cursed them to die.
She was a little hesitant to believe what her second aunt was saying, but she was also afraid that her mother was really seriously ill and didn't have the money for treatment.
As Lin Jinyao lowered her head in thought, Liu Ersao glanced at her sideways.
She thought the girl was too young to think things through and that she could easily fool her.
"What? You're not talking because you don't want to get your mother treated? Let me tell you, your dad can remarry, but you only have one mother. What stepmother would be good to someone else's child? That's impossible! Take that woman from earlier, for example. She had ulterior motives. She wanted to marry your dad so that he would raise her three children with her!"
“Once your stepmother comes in, you won’t have enough to eat, you won’t have any new clothes to wear, and you won’t be able to go to school, because your dad will spend all his money on other people’s children. Once you have a stepmother, you’ll have a stepfather. You only have one biological mother. Your mother used to be so good to you, you can’t be ungrateful to her!”
Liu Yaozong snorted and said, "Stepmothers are all bad. If you don't spend money to treat your mother's illness, you are unfilial and deserve to be bullied by your stepmother in the future."
…
While Liu Ersao was brainwashing Lin Jinyao, Lin Shuhong, who had been busy all day, returned to the factory's residential compound by car.
As usual, he was preparing to go to Wang Xiu's house to pick up his daughter. Just as he reached the square, he saw Wang Xiu walking quickly towards him with a serious expression.
"Brother Lin, where is Jin Yao's mother?"
Lin Shuhong didn't know why she would suddenly ask this question.
He asked warily, "Why are you asking this?"
Wang Xiu said aggrievedly, "Two people came over just now and called Jin Yao aside to talk. Those two people are from Jin Yao's mother's side of the family. That woman was really fierce. I didn't even get to say a few words to her before she said I wanted to be Jin Yao's stepmother and that I should raise her child. Although I, Wang Xiu, don't earn much, the factory remembers my husband's contributions and gives me a subsidy every month. I, Wang Xiu, can raise the child myself. I can let what she said go, but I noticed that her attitude towards Jin Yao wasn't very good. Brother Lin, are those people really from Jin Yao's maternal grandparents' side?"
Lin Shuhong didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Xiu. After finding out where Liu Ersao was assigned, he strode over there.
Seeing Wang Xiu following behind her so eagerly, Lin Shuhong turned around and said, "Go back, you don't need to follow me."
Wang Xiu was a little unwilling, but she could only stomp her feet and walk back.
Lin Shuhong now harbors only hatred towards Liu Mei's family.
Last year, after he brought Lin Jinyao back to his side, he discovered that his daughter was not only thin, but also had many bruises on her body. Her hands and face were covered in chilblains.
He regretted that he hadn't beaten his perfectly good daughter like that by the Liu family.
Thinking of his deceased youngest son, he was convinced that Liu Mei's family had failed to take good care of him, which led to his death.
Lin Shuhong was so angry that she kicked the door open. "That snake surnamed Liu still dares to come?"
Liu Ersao, who was still talking non-stop, shrank back in fright at the commotion. The moment she saw Lin Shuhong's face, both Liu Ersao and Liu Yaozong jumped in fright.
The two men got up warily. Lin Jinyao ran to Lin Shuhong and shook his hand, saying, "Dad, they said Mom has a very serious illness and needs money for treatment."
Liu Ersao said with a stiff face, "Yes, Liu Mei's illness is too serious, it gets worse day by day, and we don't have the money to treat her. We wouldn't have come to you if we hadn't had no other choice."
Lin Shuhong looked at them expressionlessly, remaining silent for a moment.
Liu Yaozong was so frightened by Lin Shuhong that he cowered behind her like a quail, not daring to utter a single word.
Liu Ersao was worried. She glanced at Lin Shuhong every now and then and said cautiously, "Liu Mei is only thinking about the child now. I'm relieved to see that Jinyao is doing well here."
Lin Shuhong squinted and remained silent, wanting to see what else she would say.
Liu Ersao felt that Lin Shuhong was going to hit someone, and her mouth was trembling with nervousness.
"You and Liu Mei have been married for so many years. Now that she's sick, you can't just ignore her, can you?"
Lin Shuhong said, "I will go back to see her when I have time. You Lius don't need to worry about what's between us. Go back tomorrow and don't come back again. Don't make me say it a second time."
Liu Ersao didn't intend to leave empty-handed, but she really couldn't do anything about Lin Shuhong.
If Lin Shuhong hadn't been thinking about the negative impact of hitting someone in the factory, she would have already started it.
Not taking action now doesn't mean he doesn't hold a grudge from the past.
Once those two leave the factory area tomorrow, he'll teach them a painful lesson so they'll never dare to disturb their lives again.
As for Liu Mei's illness, he didn't know if it was true or not; he could simply visit Liu Mei at the Second Farm when he had free time.
If she really dies from her illness, that's her fate.
Lin Shuhong, her face ashen, dragged Lin Jinyao back to the dormitory.
Although the father and daughter's dormitory was not large, it had two single beds, which was enough for them to live in.
Wang Xiu hadn't gone back yet. Seeing that Wang Xiu was still waiting at the door, Lin Jinyao subconsciously tugged at her father's sleeve. She wanted her father to stop associating with Wang Xiu, but she couldn't bring herself to say it while they were outside.
"Brother Lin, how did it go? Was it a scam?"
Lin Shuhong said with a grim expression, "They're not much different from swindlers. They came to ask me for money. I'll make them leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Wang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile instantly appeared on her face. She took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Lin Jinyao: "Eat it, Dongdong and the others wanted some but I didn't give them any."
Lin Jinyao shook her head and refused, "Auntie, you should take it back for Dongdong and the others to eat. I'm not greedy."
Wang Xiu's smile froze.
Lin Shuhong said at the right moment, "It's getting late, you should go back now."
Wang Xiu felt that Liu Ersao had ruined her plans, and her face fell when she turned around.
The father and daughter entered the house, and Lin Jinyao said, "Dad, I don't want a stepmother! My aunt just said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. In the future, you will spend money on other people's children, and I will not even have enough to eat. I will also be abused by my stepmother. Dad, although my mother is... I only have one mother."
Lin Jinyao took Liu Ersao's words to heart.
