Chapter 30 The murderer who killed Lin Luoxi is Lin Luodan.
Seeing Lin Dayou's hesitant expression, Lin Wenqian couldn't help but try to persuade him from Lin Luoxi's perspective.
“Yes, Father, no matter how amazing my sister is, she’s only fifteen. We should take better care of her,” Lin Luoning said, speaking up for Lin Luoxi.
"You two children, I don't mean to criticize your sister, I just feel that as your father, I can't provide you with the best life, and I've even made you take such risks. I truly feel ashamed..."
It would be a lie to say Lin Dayou wasn't scared when he saw his daughter come back covered in blood.
He was truly afraid that Lin Luoxi would be eaten by wild animals in the mountains. If that happened, he would never be able to eat or sleep properly for the rest of his life, and he would rather be dead.
“Yes, children, have you ever resented us…” These past few days, it has been Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian who have been supporting the family, which warms Lin Wangshi’s heart but also makes her feel heartbroken.
"Father and Mother, what are you saying? Raising us to adulthood is the greatest achievement you can have."
"Look around, every family has gone through this. What's there to complain about? As a family, if we think and act as one, there's no obstacle we can't overcome. We're poor now, but who can guarantee we'll be poor forever..."
Seeing his parents' guilty and distressed expressions reminded Lin Wenqian of the same self-blame and distress he felt when he knew Lin Luodan was the murderer who harmed his sister, yet was powerless to do anything about it.
"Father and Mother, you may not know, but I only found out today that it was Lin Luodan from my eldest uncle's family who deliberately lured my sister to the riverbank and pushed her in..." Lin Wenqian thought for a moment and then told the truth he knew.
"What? Wenqian, you were told this?" Lin Dayou's hands trembled violently, his hatred for the Lin family reaching its peak.
"It was my second sister who told me. We ran into Lin Luodan on the mountain today, and she jumped around in front of my sister, which is why she told me." Lin Wenqian said again, still unable to suppress the urge to rush to the Lin family home to vent his hatred.
"Dad, you're clearly a child of the Lin family too, why are they so heartless towards us..."
Lin Wenqian couldn't understand why, when there were many biased grandparents in the village, his grandparents treated them like their father's killers, wishing they could kill them.
"Damn it, how dare he lay a hand on my child! I'll kill him!" Lin Dayou, who knew the truth, was burning with rage. In particular, Lin Wenqian's aggrieved question ignited the anger he had suppressed for decades.
With bloodshot eyes, he looked around and found an iron shovel. He picked it up and was about to leave.
"Dad, what are you trying to do?" Lin Wenqian saw Lin Dayou in a rage for the first time. Seeing him grab a weapon, he was so frightened that he rushed over and hugged Lin Dayou's waist to stop him from making the next move.
"Honey, don't be impulsive. Murder is a crime that lands you in jail. Can you bear to see me and our child being bullied outside?"
Lin Dayou's actions terrified Lin Wangshi. Seeing Lin Dayou's expression as if he wanted to perish together with the Lin family, she was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly stood in front of Lin Dayou and pleaded with him.
"Wenqian, wife of the child, both of you step aside. The Lin family is bullying us like this, I really can't swallow this!"
Lin Dayou felt that severing ties with the Lin family was too lenient for them.
"Dad, what can you do if you go now?" Lin Luoxi, who was taking a bath in her room, heard the commotion coming from the main room, quickly washed herself off, put on her clothes, and came over.
"I'm going to go and kill their whole family. They've gone too far." Lin Dayou looked at Lin Luoxi with red eyes, and large tears fell down his face.
Lin Dayou asked himself honestly, he had never done anything to wrong the Lin family, so why did they all want to bully and oppress him?
It was one thing to bully him alone before, but now even his children are being harmed by their children. Why is that?
Doesn't God say that good people are rewarded? Then why did he have to go through such a terrible ordeal?
"Dad, two days have passed, and there are no witnesses. If you make a scene now, you'll only give them ammunition against you..." Lin Luoxi calmly advised Lin Dayou, seeing his agitated state.
"Father, I will avenge Lin Luodan's attempt to harm me myself. What you need to do now is to recover your health and become stronger so that you can protect us..." Lin Luoxi never intended to let Lin Luodan off so easily.
"Clang!" The truth was harsh, but Lin Luoxi's words were all true, forcing Lin Dayou to put down the iron shovel and slump to the ground dejectedly.
"Dad, you don't need to be so discouraged. Our family has severed ties with them now, and things will only get better for us in the future."
"Alright, what we need to do now is take good care of our third brother. Once he wakes up, our family will be able to eat meat again." Lin Luoxi could only change the subject so as not to let her family wallow in self-blame.
"Okay, sure!" Nowadays, Lin Luoxi's words have a great influence in the Lin family. They do whatever Lin Luoxi tells them to do.
Lin Dayou turned his head to the side, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, got up, and walked towards Lin Luoxi to retrieve the medicinal herbs.
Lin Wangshi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up, and walked towards their room. Although Lin Wentao was unconscious, she still had to massage him to prevent muscle atrophy.
Lin Luoning quietly walked up to Lin Luoxi and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I'll help you deal with those big bad guys from now on!"
When Lin Luoning finished speaking, her pupils narrowed. Lin Luodan was their family's common enemy, and she would definitely not let Lin Luodan get away with it!
"Okay, then I'll wait for the little sister's counterattack!" Lin Luoxi couldn't help but agree after hearing Lin Luoning's heartwarming words.
However, she didn't take it seriously. What a three-year-old says is something she'll forget in a few days, so how could she take it seriously?
"Little sister, I'll tell you a secret, we caught several pheasants on the mountain today!" Lin Luoxi imitated Lin Luoning's whispering manner, quietly telling Lin Luoning about their haul from the mountain today.
"Really?" Lin Luoning's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief when she heard Lin Luoxi's words.
"Really? When have I ever lied to you, sister?" Seeing Lin Luoning's reaction, Lin Luoxi found it amusing, and the gloom from before vanished.
"Come on, let me show you!" Holding Lin Luoning's little hand, he walked towards the basket containing the pheasants!
"Big brother, where are the pheasants we caught on the mountain?" Lin Luoxi asked Lin Wenqian anxiously as she looked at the empty basket. Could it be that the Lin family came to beg for them and took them?
