Lin's mother watched Lin Qinghuan's retreating figure with a troubled expression, her feelings complicated.
She knew Lin Qinghuan was her daughter, but she didn't know why she couldn't like her; it was as if they were born to clash.
Lin's mother rubbed her forehead helplessly and sighed deeply. Oh well, if Lin Qinghuan hates her, then let her hate!
She also has three sons and a daughter, and it's enough that they take care of her.
The three Lin brothers looked at each other, their faces blank. They simply didn't like the dull Lin Qinghuan, and even hated her. They preferred the gentle and kind Lin Piaoxue.
Lin Qinghuan walked to the door and casually pushed it, only to find it wouldn't open. She pushed it harder and found it was locked from the inside. Her expression turned somewhat grim.
Lin Qinghuan said coldly, "Lin Piaoxue, I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, you'll face the consequences."
"one"
"two"
"three"
Lin Qinghuan counted to three, but Lin Piaoxue still didn't open the door. Lin Qinghuan's face tightened, she took two steps back, and kicked the door hard.
The loud bang startled Mr. and Mrs. Lin. They were worried that the room might have been damaged.
Mr. Lin hurriedly stood up and walked quickly towards the main room, with Mrs. Lin and the three Lin brothers following closely behind.
As soon as Lin's father ran into the main room, he saw Lin Qinghuan preparing to kick the door a second time. He hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Qinghuan, don't kick it. I'll have Piaoxue open the door for you. Don't break the door. Let me do it. I promise I'll have Piaoxue open the door for you."
Lin's father approached the door, gently knocked twice, and called out, "Lin Piaoxue, if you're not afraid of being beaten by Qing Huan, then don't open the door. But have you thought this through? If Qing Huan kicks the door open, enters the room, and beats you up, we won't help you."
Lin Qinghuan was visibly taken aback by her father's words; his method of persuasion was truly ingenious.
When Lin Qinghuan kicked the door, Lin Piaoxue's heart was in her throat. Now, after hearing her father's words and remembering Lin Qinghuan's fierceness, she immediately got out of bed, put on her shoes, and opened the door in three quick steps.
When Lin's parents saw that Lin Piaoxue opened the door, they breathed a sigh of relief. Piaoxue was sensible enough not to stubbornly refuse to open the door.
Lin Qinghuan stared coldly at Lin Piaoxue, who suppressed her fear and met Lin Qinghuan's gaze.
Worried that Lin Qinghuan would hit Lin Piaoxue, Lin's father quickly said, "Qinghuan, Piaoxue has already opened the door. Would you like to rest first, or go eat first?"
Lin Qinghuan didn't answer her father, but looked at Lin Piaoxue standing at the door of the room, "If you dare to lock me out again, I'll make you spend the night in the pigsty with the pigs."
Upon hearing this, Lin Piaoxue's face turned pale, and her body trembled involuntarily. She believed that Lin Qinghuan was capable of such a thing.
Lin Qinghuan pushed him away, saying, "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Lin Piaoxue staggered after being pushed by Lin Qinghuan, and quickly steadied herself by holding onto the door frame, looking at Lin Qinghuan with anger but not daring to speak.
Lin Qinghuan walked into the room, and now she finally understood that the Lin family were all bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.
Looking at Lin Piaoxue, Lin's father whispered a warning: "I have warned you time and time again not to provoke Qinghuan, but you just won't listen."
"Dad, Lin Qinghuan caused my head to bleed from being hit by Li Jian. Can't I be a little willful?" Lin Piaoxue said discontentedly.
Lin's father looked at Lin Piaoxue with a knowing gaze and said, "Piaoxue, you have distorted the truth and Qinghuan has heard about it. Everything is because of you, so you deserve to suffer this."
A barely perceptible look of guilt crossed Lin Piaoxue's face. The matter had indeed started because of her, but Lin Qinghuan shouldn't have used her as a shield!
Her head is throbbing with pain.
Seeing that Lin Piaoxue's face was pale and bloodless, Lin's mother tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, stop talking. Piaoxue is still injured. Let her go back and rest."
Mr. Lin looked at Mrs. Lin with displeasure. "You spoil her so much. Don't you know that spoiling a child is like killing him?"
Is it as serious as you say?
Lin's mother wouldn't listen to anything Lin's father said. Her daughter Piaoxue was so smart and so tactful in dealing with people. Everyone who met Piaoxue would praise her. Lin's mother thought that Lin's father was exaggerating.
Looking at Lin, Lin's father sighed and said, "A doting mother spoils her child. Your overindulgence will ruin him sooner or later."
After finishing his sentence, Lin's father left with his hands behind his back, his face full of worry.
Lin's mother remained noncommittal, but looked at Lin Piaoxue gently and said, "You hurt your head, go and lie down in bed."
"Okay." Lin Piaoxue obediently went back to bed and lay down.
Li Jian's mother, Wang Cuihua, stood at the Lin family's gate with a small basket in her hand, and walked straight in through the open gate.
Lin's father and the three Lin brothers were sitting at the entrance of the main room. When they saw Wang Cuihua come in, their faces turned cold, and none of them greeted her.
Wang Cuihua was somewhat dissatisfied, but her son had hit someone with a stick and even knocked the person unconscious. If she reported it to the police station, she would be going to jail.
Wang Cuihua put on an awkward smile and said to Lin's father, "Lin Lao Er, Lin Qing, you're both home! I came to see Piaoxue. How is she? Is she alright?"
Wang Cuihua's face was full of apology as she continued, "That kid Li Jian didn't know his own strength and hurt Piaoxue. I apologize to you on his behalf and hope you can forgive him. These are some eggs that we had at home, a small token of my appreciation. I brought them here especially to help Piaoxue recover. I hope you will accept them."
As Wang Cuihua spoke, she placed the basket in front of Lin's father.
Lin Qinghuan stood at the window, listened to Wang Cuihua's words, narrowed her eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashed in them, and she quickly walked out of the room.
When Lin Piaoxue saw Lin Qinghuan leave the room, her heart tightened. She knew Lin Qinghuan was going to cause trouble again, so she hurriedly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and followed her out.
When Wang Cuihua saw Lin Qinghuan leave, displeasure appeared on her face. That brat was really ruthless, beating her son black and blue. How come she never realized before that Lin Qinghuan had such great abilities?
Lin Qinghuan looked at Wang Cuihua with a frosty expression, making Wang Cuihua feel uneasy.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Wang Cuihua and said righteously, "Aunt Li, your son Li Jian has bullied me countless times since he was a child. You have all seen what he has done, but you have never stopped him. It is your indulgence that has allowed him to do whatever he wants. It is the parents' fault if their son is not taught. If he is ever arrested and sent to jail, it will be because of you as parents."
Wang Cuihua's face turned pale and then red as Lin Qinghuan spoke, like a palette of colors.
"Why does my Li Jian bully you the only one he ever bullies?" Wang Cuihua said angrily.
Lin Qinghuan walked up to Wang Cuihua with a cold face, her eyes flashing with a sharp, cold light as she stared intently at Wang Cuihua.
Seeing Lin Qinghuan's imposing aura, Lin's father felt as if he were seeing his own mother in her youth.
