Chapter 287 I Only Treat You as My Sister (5)
On the weekend, Lin's father really went back to his hometown early to pick up Lin Cong. Lin's mother went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy some big sea fish, saying that a colleague would bring the children to visit at noon.
"My dear daughter, go and kill the fish, okay? I saw you killing a fish last time and you were very skilled at it. Even your mom can't compare to you." Mother Lin said to Lin Shichu with a smile, as if she was really just praising Lin Shichu for her good fish-killing skills.
If Lin Shichu was a little dumber, she would have volunteered to do it for the sake of showing off after hearing her mother praise her like this. But now Lin Shichu is no longer a simple and innocent good daughter, so she smiled innocently and said, "Mom, since your fish-killing skills are not as good as mine, you must seize the opportunity to practice more. If you don't do it all the time, how can you get better?"
After hearing this, the smile on Lin's mother's face froze for a moment, and then she continued cheerfully: "You kid, you have a lot of crooked ideas." After saying that, she didn't dare to order Lin Shichu around anymore.
"Mom, I'm just waiting to eat the feast you make! After all, I have to cook dinner every day, and it's not easy to eat a meal made by mom!" Lin Shichu was very foresighted and blocked all of Lin's mother's future plans, and added, "It's not that I don't want to help mom, but I have too much homework, and if I can't finish it, you will scold me. Mom, you love me so much, you definitely don't want me to be scolded by the teacher, right?"
Lin Shichu said while blinking her big, adorable eyes.
When Lin's mother heard her words, she felt a suffocation in her chest, but she couldn't release it. She stared at Lin Shichu, her expression almost unable to conceal.
Lin Shichu turned around and went back to his room, closing the door without hesitation, as if he couldn't see Lin's mother's ugly face.
In fact, it's not that she can't do housework. As a teenager, it's her duty to share some of the housework with her parents. But Lin's father and mother didn't ask Lin Shichu to help with the housework openly. Instead, they always beat around the bush and even tried to trick their own daughter. It was really hypocritical. They said one thing and did another.
Lin Shichu doesn't care what their intentions are. She does it when she wants to, and doesn't do it when she doesn't want to.
"Mom! I'm back!" Lin Cong's voice came from outside the door, followed by a series of footsteps, and then a loud "bang".
Lin Shichu was so annoyed by the noise that he plugged his ears with earplugs.
Lin Cong is a naughty child. At a young age, she is spoiled by the elders in the family and becomes lawless. Although Lin's father and mother always say that they love their daughter more than their son, they allow their son to step on her bedding with his shoes, tear up her textbooks or books, and break the lamp on her desk...
And every time Lin Cong did these, Lin's mother would say to Lin Shichu, "My brother is still young and doesn't understand", "My brother didn't mean it", "As his sister, you should be more tolerant of your brother."
Lin's father pretended to be angry and raised his palm towards Lin Cong, but he didn't even touch the hair on Lin Cong's buttocks. He said that he was teaching his son a lesson for his daughter, and then scolded him a few times, "How could you destroy your sister's things?", "Sister is so good, but you are a bad boy! Dad only loves your sister, not you!"
Then Lin Cong would roll on the ground and cry a few more times, and the matter would be over. Lin's father and mother would then praise the original owner for being sensible and obedient, and for being so tolerant towards his younger brother, as he did not cry or make a fuss even when the things were destroyed.
Where did the tolerance come from? It was just that she had been unhappy before, and it didn't help at all. Lin Cong still wanted to destroy her things, because there would be no punishment for destroying them, so naturally he did what he wanted.
As a result, Lin Cong was spoiled by them and became more and more ignorant of the immensity of the world.
Lin Shichu didn't have any opinion on this, as long as the naughty kid didn't mess with her. But the opposite happened. Her door was soon slammed loudly. Even with earplugs, she could hear the deafening sound. The door, which was not very strong at all, was almost broken by Lin Cong's smashes.
"Sister! Come out and play with me! Come out, come out, come out..." Lin Cong banged on the door and shouted at the top of his voice.
Lin Shichu took a few deep breaths before he suppressed the urge to beat him up. He took off his earplugs and suddenly opened the door.
Lin Cong obviously didn't expect her to open the door suddenly, and he kept banging on the door. As a result, he used too much force and had no foothold, so he immediately fell to the ground.
"Ah! It hurts!" Lin Cong burst into tears. Lin's father and mother immediately ran out from where they were. Lin's mother was holding a scallion in her hand. Seeing her beloved son fall to the ground and cry, she immediately threw the scallion away, rushed over distressedly, picked up Lin Cong, and asked, "Oh my dear son, why did you fall? Where are you hurt? Let mom take a look!"
Lin's father also immediately came over and started checking with Lin Cong.
Lin Cong sobbed and complained: "It was my sister who caused me to fall!"
"Shichu, what's wrong with you? How could you let your brother fall?" Father Lin looked at Lin Shichu unhappily and said.
Lin Shichu looked at him coldly, without any reason. He just listened to Lin Cong's one-sided statement and concluded that it was Lin Cong who caused his son to fall. He didn't understand why the obvious bias of Lin's father and mother made the original owner think that they really loved her in her memory?
Is it because they have been brainwashed so thoroughly that they can't even distinguish and analyze in life? Looking at the performance of Lin's father and mother at the critical moment, don't we know who they really love? In the final analysis, the original owner was too naive and really believed what his parents said.
However, it is also possible that the original owner actually realized that she was not the one who was favored, but in order to avoid being completely abandoned and given up by her parents, she would be satisfied even if she only received verbal love? She also tried hard to convince herself to believe what her parents said, because if she didn't believe it, she might have a mental breakdown.
"He ran over and slammed my door, and he fell down as soon as I opened it. I didn't know he was slamming my door with such great force. How can you blame me?" Lin Shichu said innocently.
Then he reminded Lin's father: "Dad, it's time to teach my brother some etiquette. The way he bangs on the door is too rude, isn't it? When he grows up, will he also bang on the door when he goes out to visit others or knocks on his boss's door at work? Wouldn't this make people think he has no manners?"
"Dad, while my brother is still young, you have to correct his bad habits as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in trouble in the future." Lin Shichu said earnestly.
"Nonsense! Your brother is just young and ignorant. How much strength can he have? When he grows up, he will naturally know how to knock on the door. You don't have to worry." Mother Lin said while suppressing her anger. She felt that her daughter's words were becoming more and more unpleasant to her ears and always made her angry. But she had no reason to get angry, which made her very aggrieved.
