Lin's mother had always doted on Lin Piaoxue since she was a child. Even though Lin Piaoxue's actions disappointed and saddened her, she still couldn't help but say, "Piaoxue, Lin Qinghuan is now heartless and doesn't even respect me, her mother. Let alone you, you should behave yourself, or no one can save you."
Lin's mother finally realized that in the Lin family, Lin Qinghuan only gave Lin's father some face and didn't care about anyone else, not to mention that she now had a boyfriend from a good family and who was capable.
Lin Piaoxue was no longer willing to pretend, so she simply gave up and said sarcastically, "You talk so nicely, but it's only because Lin Qinghuan found a good family that you don't want to offend her. If I found a rich boyfriend, would you still say such things to me?"
"No, you won't. You'll definitely try to curry favor with me and slander Lin Qinghuan. Don't make me sound so despicable, and don't think of yourselves as so kind. The blood of us Lin family members is cold."
"Even if Lin Qinghuan finds a talented young man, you should be grateful that she doesn't cause you any trouble, given how you treated her before."
"You can only pray now that I find a good family, so that I can help out my family a little."
As Lin Piaoxue spoke, she looked at the Lin family members and pointed at them, saying sarcastically, "Even if I am unwilling to help the family in the future, you will use public opinion to force me to do so, because everyone has seen how good you have been to me over the years. If I don't help the family, I will be ungrateful."
"Dad, Mom, brother, we're all in this together. We share the same fate, so you must continue to treat me well. Otherwise, all those years of effort will have been for nothing."
After finishing her sentence, Lin Piaoxue swaggered back to her room.
The Lin family members exchanged glances. Lin's father smiled sarcastically. He did hope that Lin Piaoxue would marry into a good family so that Lin Qing and the others could find jobs, but now he dared not even dream of it. People still have to rely on themselves.
Lin's father looked at Lin Qing and instructed, "Your mother is easily influenced, so the convenience store cannot be handed over to her. I'm worried that if it's handed over to her, all the money will end up in Lin Piaoxue's pocket. From now on, you will oversee the convenience store and keep accounts of what is sold. Also, you are not allowed to give away any of the family's things to others, nor can you allow her to take anything out of the convenience store."
Lin Qing asked, "Does Father mean that Piaoxue can eat whatever she wants from the convenience store, but she can't take anything out of the store, nor can she give away anything from the store?"
“Yes, that’s what I meant,” Lin’s father said.
Lin Qing said, "Father, I know what to do."
Lin's father said to Lin Qing and Lin Feng, "Piaoxue is unreliable. We need to get Qinghuan to come up with a way to make money, otherwise the three of you brothers will only be farmers for the rest of your lives."
Knowing his own limitations, Lin's father said, "Father, Qinghuan hates us to death and will never help us."
Lin's father's lips curled up slightly as he said, "Qinghuan really hates you, but she's also afraid that things won't go well for the family. I go to see her every few days, and in order to avoid seeing us, she will definitely come up with a plan to ensure that the family has enough to eat and wear, and that we never have to go to see her again."
"Does she really have that much ability?" Lin's mother asked incredulously.
Mr. Lin scoffed and said to Mrs. Lin, "Don't you have any idea whether she's capable or not?"
Lin's mother was speechless with anger after being rebuked by Lin's father, "You..."
"What do you mean 'you'? Hurry up and cook! Also, Lin Piaoxue isn't allowed to eat tonight." Lin's father said as he walked out of the yard and headed towards Lin's uncle's house.
Uncle Lin was sitting in the yard smoking when he saw Father Lin walk in. He sneered and said, "What a rare guest! What brings you here today, Lin the Second?"
Lin's father ignored his uncle's sarcastic remarks and instead took a chair and sat down next to his uncle.
"Brother, the things Mother left for Qinghuan can be given to her now," said Father Lin.
Uncle Lin looked at Father Lin in shock and asked, "Are you sure?"
“Confirmed!” Lin’s father said.
Uncle Lin asked again, "There can't be a mistake!"
Uncle Lin recounted the changes in Lin Qinghuan over the past few months, and then sighed, "Qinghuan's words and actions are completely different. She is very confident and intelligent now, just like when she was a child. Her personality is very much like her mother's."
Uncle Lin gasped and said in surprise, "Ever since Qinghuan fell and fell into a coma at the age of seven, she has become timid and hesitant. Mother has always said that she is not her granddaughter. Could it be that Mother was right?"
Mr. Lin handed a cigarette to Mr. Lin, lit one for himself, and said with a deep look in his eyes, “I don’t know. All these years I’ve been watching from the sidelines, watching her being schemed against by Piaoxue, being isolated, watching her look at me with such longing eyes, and I…”
At this point, Lin's father's eyes reddened, and he choked up as he said, "I feel terrible."
"I always suspected that my mother was mistaken. How could Qinghuan be my daughter just because she fell down? But she really changed. Her personality was completely different from before, which made me doubt again. But then one day, Qinghuan suddenly became different. She was confident, strong, and eloquent. I seemed to see her at the age of seven. So beautiful, so smart, so dazzling, so lovable."
Uncle Lin smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Qinghuan was very well-behaved and smart when she was little. Her mother taught her to read, and she remembered it after just one lesson. But ever since she fell and became a different person, her mother has taught her to read several times, but the girl still can't remember it. Everyone says she's become stupid from the fall, but only her mother is clear-headed. She knows that after Qinghuan fell and fainted, her body was possessed by a wandering ghost."
Uncle Lin suddenly looked at Father Lin and asked, "Does your wife know?"
