Chapter 57 Lin Luoning is beaten and has a fever
"Hiss!" The temperature of the touch was so hot that Lin Luoxi gasped, she had a fever.
Lin Luoxi quickly put down the basket on her back, took out the wooden basin placed by the bedside, and prepared to go out.
"Second sister, how is the little sister?" Lin Wenqian also caught up and ran into Lin Luoxi, who was going out to get hot water.
"The little girl is not doing well. She was probably slapped by that old hag. Her face is swollen and she's also frightened. She has a high fever now."
Lin Luoxi didn't hide anything, and even loudly talked about Lin Luoning's current situation, just to make Lin Dayou feel ashamed.
"What? My little sister is in such a bad state." Lin Wenqian never expected that the old hag would dare to come to his house, beat his little sister, and even make her have a fever.
What exactly does the Lin family want to do? Are they really trying to drive them to their doom?
"Big brother, I have to go get some ice water for my little sister to wash herself up." Lin Luoxi turned around and walked towards her family's well to draw water.
"Luo Xi, what did you say? Your sister has a fever." Inside the main room, Madam Lin, who was shedding tears, heard Lin Ruoxi's words and rushed out in a panic.
"Hmm!" Lin Luoxi also had some complaints about Lin Wangshi. Lin Wangshi was such a big man, yet he couldn't protect his own daughter and let her get slapped so hard. Why didn't he know to fight back?
She felt genuinely exhausted. In this family, her father was a soft-hearted and indecisive man, and her mother wasn't much better; they were like pushovers, easily manipulated by anyone.
If this family wants to become strong, the only way is for her and her eldest brother to lead their younger siblings in self-reliance and hard work, so that they will not be bullied by outsiders.
Lin Wangshi did not notice the change in Lin Luoxi's tone and hurriedly ran to Lin Luoxi's room to check on Lin Luoning's condition.
As for Lin Dayou, he also heard Lin Luoxi's words and wanted to go out to check on his youngest daughter, but when he thought of Lin Luoxi's disappointed tone and eyes just now, he dared not step out of the main room.
Regardless of what the two adults in her family thought, Lin Luoxi carried the filled well water and walked towards her room.
"Brother and mother, you should both go back and rest. Little sister, I'll take care of things here." As soon as Lin Luoxi came in, she saw Lin Wangshi sitting by their bedside, only concerned with shedding tears. She felt inexplicably irritated and shooed them away in a harsh tone.
Ignoring the presence of the two people, he pushed past them and stepped forward to wipe Lin Luoning's body with a wet towel to cool her down.
"Okay!" Lin Wenqian could also see Lin Luoxi's displeasure, and fearing that the war would affect him, he nodded and quickly went out.
"Mother, you should go back too. Little sister, I'll take care of things here! Besides, if you keep crying, little sister won't get better." Lin Luoxi saw that Lin Wang had no sense of propriety, and her tone began to grow impatient.
"Oh dear, are you complaining that you couldn't protect your sister?" At this moment, Madam Lin finally realized what was happening and looked at Lin Luoxi with teary eyes.
"Smack!" Lin Luoxi angrily threw the handkerchief in her hand into the basin of water.
"Yes, I'm angry at you two adults. What's wrong with you? They've already cut ties with us, so why do you keep worrying about those so-called unseen sentiments and letting them hurt us time and time again?"
"If you still consider them your parents and in-laws, then please move back to the Lin family and serve them like slaves. Don't let them hurt us siblings anymore..." Lin Luoxi became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.
She was also speaking to Lin Dayou. If Lin Dayou had been a little tougher today, Lin Luoning would never have suffered this undeserved disaster.
"I didn't mean to either. I hadn't even realized what was happening when that old woman Qian rushed over and hit your little sister." Even Wang Shi tried to defend herself.
"Mother, please go out. I'm angry right now, and I'm afraid I might say something hurtful that could upset you." The more she explained, the harder it was for Lin Luoxi to suppress her anger.
What do you mean there's no way? If Lian Da hadn't opened the door today and let those mad dogs in, Lin Luoning definitely wouldn't have gotten hurt.
"Okay, okay..." Seeing her eldest daughter's face growing colder, Madam Lin felt a chill in her heart, nodded, and quickly went out.
"Sigh," Lin Luoxi sighed heavily when she saw that the room was finally empty.
With parents who can't stand up for themselves and awful people coming to the door every day, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't defend himself. I'm truly exhausted.
"Second sister, second sister, you're back!" Just as Lin Luoxi was sighing and wiping Lin Luoning's body, she heard Lin Luoning's hoarse, cat-like voice, which sounded extremely pitiful.
"Poor thing, next time you see them barging in, just stay far away. Your sister will take care of everything!" Lin Luoxi gently and tenderly wiped the wounds on Lin Luoning's face with a handkerchief mixed with spiritual dew.
Lin Luoning didn't cry when she was hit, but now, hearing Lin Luoxi's gentle comforting voice, she finally burst into tears.
"Sister..." The mournful and desperate cry was completely unlike the emotions a child should have.
Hearing Lin Luolin's sad and aggrieved cries, Lin Ruoxi felt very bad, and all sorts of ideas flashed through her mind.
Lin Dayou, who was sitting in the main room, and Lin Wangshi, who was crying, heard Lin Luoning's sad and desperate cries, which struck their hearts directly.
It made them, as parents, feel extremely distressed and ashamed.
"Little sister, don't cry. If you keep crying, you won't look pretty with those swollen, red eyes today." Lin Wenqian, who had already returned to his room, heard Lin Luoning's words and ran over again to comfort her.
"Big brother, big brother, my face hurts so much..." With the love of her older siblings, Lin Luoning pitifully pointed to her swollen right cheek.
"That damned old hag, she's really heartless. How could she do that to such a young child like my sister?" Lin Wenqian felt extremely distressed looking at Lin Luoning and began to curse the old lady for being utterly heartless and vicious.
Lin Luoxi felt that the most useless thing was to curse people behind their backs, as it neither hurts others nor saves her breath.
"Big brother, please wipe my body here to help lower my fever. I'm going out to gather some herbs." Lin Luoxi shoved the handkerchief in her hand into Lin Wenqian's hand, then stood up and walked outside.
"Da Ya, where are you going? I'll go with you." Lin Da You saw that it was so late and Lin Luo Xi still had to go out, so he stepped forward, wanting to follow her.
