Chapter 60 The suffering Mother endured was caused by Father
"Let me do it!" Lin Wenqian could hear Lin Luoxi's voice from inside the room. After waiting for so long, he still didn't see Lin Luoxi come in, so he came out out of curiosity and found some movement in the kitchen.
Upon closer inspection, sparks were seen flickering in the kitchen; it turned out that Lin Luoxi was trying to light a fire, but it hadn't caught.
Lin Wenqian couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that his fierce younger sister wasn't all-around capable after all.
Seeing that Lin Luoxi had struck the flint and steel and produced sparks, but there was no sign of a fire, Lin Wenqian spoke up.
"Here you go, these flints are really too hard to strike. We'll buy my report card next time we go to the county." With someone coming to help, Lin Luoxi tossed the flint in her hand to Lin Wenqian and sat down to the side.
"It's perfectly normal for a girl to have trouble starting a fire. What girl goes into the kitchen every day and gets too much oil and smoke? That would make her less pretty," Lin Wenqian said with a smile as he lit the firewood with a flint.
"Brother, aren't you afraid of hurting Mother's feelings by saying that?" Lin Luoxi said, glancing towards Lin Wangshi's room.
"The suffering that Mother endured was all caused by Father. If Father had been more diligent, Mother wouldn't have had to work so hard."
Lin Wenqian had just overheard Lin Luoxi's words to Lin Wangshi, and what he was saying now was deliberately intended for Lin Wangshi to hear.
"Big brother, aren't you afraid that Mother and Father will quarrel if you say that?" Lin Luoxi saw the mischievous look in Lin Wenqian's eyes and whispered to Lin Wenqian.
"Father's forbearance has made Mother subservient for so many years. It's time for Mother to stand up and take charge." In Lin Wenqian's memory, the former Lin Wangshi was not like this.
Back then, Lin Wangshi was confident and flamboyant, always arguing with everyone. Later, because of them, because of that rich man's father, and because of Lin Lao Wushi's deliberate procrastination.
For the sake of her child, Lin Wangshi had no choice but to hide her sharp edges and remain humble for many years.
If it weren't for Lin Luoxi's return and the dramatic changes that began in her family, Lin Wangshi would probably have lived a life of quiet resentment.
"Oh, brother, you're so mean. You're the good guy, and you make me the bad guy." After hearing Lin Wenqian's explanation, Lin Luoxi sighed and exposed Lin Wenqian's true colors.
"Hehe, in our family, there's always someone who plays the good cop and someone who plays the bad cop!" Lin Wenqian chuckled, knowing that Lin Luoxi wouldn't be angry with him after she exposed his true feelings.
"Alright, let's hurry and take the medicine to my sister!" As he spoke, the herbal juice in the earthenware pot was already bubbling.
"Hmm!" Back to the main topic, Lin Wenqian also became serious. He took a bowl, poured out the medicine, and followed Lin Luoxi to their room.
"Big brother, you go back first! I'll take care of you here, little sister." After entering the room, Lin Luoxi saw that Lin Lin Luoning was already asleep, and the blush on her face had faded a lot.
Knowing that Lin Wenqian had been applying medicine to Lin Luoning and that it was working, they simply told Lin Wenqian to go back and rest.
"Okay, the medicine isn't so hot anymore. You can let your sister get up and drink it now." Lin Wenqian said before turning back.
Lin Luoxi waited for a while, then called for Lin Luoning to wake up, drink the medicine, and the two of them went to sleep together.
Having fought a tiger during the day and dealt with the shameless Lin family at night, Lin Luoxi quickly fell into a deep sleep.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." As the rooster from Grandpa Lin's house next door crowed loudly, the east slowly began to light up.
Lin Luoxi has modern muscle memory, so she can get up as soon as the rooster stops crowing.
"Sister, why are you up so early today?" Lin Luoning, who woke up early, was quite surprised to see Lin Luoxi up so early as well.
"Little girl, I wasn't feeling well before! I only stayed in bed for a few minutes, and you remembered it." After saying that, Lin Luoxi got up and took out two sets of new clothes for Lin Luoning from the basket she had carried back yesterday.
"Little Ningning, look, this is the new clothes I bought for you. Do you like them?" He waved the new clothes in front of Lin Luoning.
Yesterday, Lin Luoxi picked out a pink dress and a light green jacket for Lin Luoning, as these two colors suited Lin Luoning's cute and well-behaved personality.
"Wow, sister, is this really for me?" Lin Luoning reached out and touched the fabric of the dress, her eyes widening as if she were dreaming.
"Sister, pinch me! I must be half asleep to have such a beautiful dream." Lin Luoning opened her big almond-shaped eyes, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Lin Luoning felt that everything that happened this morning was too surreal; such a scene could only be dreamt of.
"Silly little sister, don't pinch me, it's real." Seeing Lin Luoning's adorable and innocent look, Lin Luoxi reached out and gently pinched Lin Luoning's smooth and delicate cheek.
"So, do you believe what you see now?"
"Oh my god, it's true! Thank you, sister." Lin Luoning was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. Her sister was so kind to buy her such beautiful clothes.
Overwhelmed with excitement, he lunged forward and hugged Lin Luoxi tightly, like an octopus, refusing to let go.
"Now that you believe me, get up and change into your new clothes." Lin Luoxi saw Lin Luoning hugging her with great joy and lovingly stroked Lin Luoning's soft hair.
"Sister, can I wear it during the New Year?" Lin Luoning raised her little head and asked cautiously.
"Why?" Lin Luoxi frowned and asked Lin Luoning.
Which child doesn't love wearing new clothes? Why does Lin Luoning want to save them for the New Year?
"Because during the Spring Festival, we wear new clothes, and we are happy all year round." Lin Luoning had seen that the children in the village only had new clothes to wear during the Spring Festival.
If she wears it now, she won't have any new clothes to wear for the New Year.
"Oh, it's okay. I'll definitely buy you new clothes again and dress you up beautifully," Lin Luoxi promised, knowing Lin Luoning's plans.
"But...!" She really couldn't bear to wear such a beautiful new dress.
"Today is the day my sister becomes Doctor Yang's apprentice, so you should dress up in a festive way, okay?" Seeing the hesitation in Lin Luoning's eyes, Lin Luoxi could only use this reason to get Lin Luoning to wear new clothes.
"Okay, I'll put it on now." Today is the auspicious day for her sister to become an apprentice, and she can't let her sister down.
"Okay, do you need my help?" Lin Luoxi has been here for several days. Lin Luoning never needs anyone's help to get dressed; she can dress herself perfectly well.
"Sister, don't you have any new clothes to wear?" Lin Luoning only saw her own clothes and didn't see that Lin Luoxi had changed into new clothes.
