Lin's father frowned slightly, gave Wang Cuihua a polite smile, but the smile was distant. He said calmly, "Last night, Piaoxue slipped and fell to the ground. Your sister-in-law saw it and was anxious. In her anxiety, she started making a fuss."
Upon hearing this, Wang Cuihua immediately asked with concern, "Did Piaoxue fall badly? Is she injured?"
"It's nothing, just some scrapes. It'll be fine in a couple of days," Mr. Lin said with a calm smile.
Wang Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief with concern, and asked with a kind smile, "May I go visit Piaoxue?"
Lin's mother's heart jumped, and she quickly said, "I appreciate your kindness, but Piaoxue is still sleeping and hasn't gotten up yet."
"Ah! It's almost eight o'clock, and you haven't gotten up for breakfast yet. Aren't you hungry?" Wang Cuihua asked suspiciously.
No sooner had Wang Cuihua finished speaking than Qing Huan's disdainful voice came from inside the room, "Lin Piaoxue, are you a pig? The sun is already high in the sky, and you're still not up. You're even lazier than the pigs in the sty."
"None of your business, mind your own business," Lin Piao retorted unhappily.
"I don't mean to interfere with you, I just can't stand you. You're such a lazy and sleepy pig." Lin Qinghuan's voice was full of disgust and disdain.
Lin's mother and father both breathed a sigh of relief. Lin's father glanced at Wang Cuihua apologetically, then shouted loudly, "Lin Qinghuan, Lin Piaoxue, you two shut up! If you keep arguing, you won't get any food today. Let me starve you. Let's see if you still have the energy to argue. You're so annoying!"
Lin's mother smiled awkwardly at Wang Cuihua and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
"It's nothing," Wang Cuihua said with a smile. "A little quarrel between sisters is harmless."
Lin Piaoxue looked at Lin Qinghuan gratefully. Lin Qinghuan pursed her lips. She didn't need Lin Piaoxue to thank her. She would be grateful if Lin Piaoxue didn't cause trouble every few days!
Lin Qinghuan left the room and came to the door of the main room. She looked at Wang Cuihua and said, "Aunt Li, you are so kind. Yesterday, our sister Jie rejected Li Jian's marriage proposal. Today, you are still kind enough to come and see her. If she still doesn't agree to your Li Jian's marriage proposal, then she will be ungrateful. Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to persuade my parents, and I will ask my parents to persuade my sister to agree to marry your Li Jian."
Lin Qinghuan looked at Wang Cuihua with envy as she spoke, and asked with a shameless grin, "Aunt Li, could you ask Li Jian to inquire if the restaurant needs any more staff? If they do, could you recommend me?"
Wang Cuihua was stunned, never expecting Lin Qinghuan to shamelessly make such a request.
Are restaurant jobs so easy to find? The Li family went to great lengths, pulling strings and using connections, to finally get Li Jian a job at a restaurant.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin exchanged a smile, their tense expressions relaxing considerably.
Seeing that Wang Cuihua's expression was a little stiff, Lin Qinghuan smiled and walked to Wang Cuihua's side, took her hand, and said ingratiatingly, "Aunt Li, I am strong and efficient. As long as Li Jian introduces me to work at the restaurant, I only need ten yuan a month, and I will give him the extra salary."
Wang Cuihua broke free from Lin Qinghuan's grasp and said stiffly, "Qinghuan, I can't make the decision on your request. I'll have to wait for Li Jian to come back and ask him."
"Please ask Aunt Li for me, I will definitely repay you in the future," Lin Qinghuan said happily.
Wang Cuihua chuckled twice, then looked at Lin's father and mother, "Since Piaoxue hasn't gotten up yet, I'll head back now. We'll talk another day."
Lin's mother smiled and said, "I'll go call Piaoxue and have her come out and say a few words to you before I leave."
Wang Cuihua's eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "Then I'll wait a little longer and say a few words to Piaoxue before I leave."
Lin's mother stiffened slightly. She was just being polite, but she didn't expect Wang Cuihua to take it seriously.
Lin Qinghuan looked at her mother speechlessly. She was usually a very shrewd person, so why did she suddenly do something so stupid?
Helpless, Lin's mother walked to the window, gently knocked on it, and called out, "Piaoxue, your Aunt Li has come to see you. Get up quickly and say a few words of thanks to her."
"Mom, I'll get up right away. Ask Aunt Li to wait a moment, and I'll go out as soon as I'm dressed," Lin Piaoxue replied from inside the room.
Lin's father took a drag of his cigarette, smiled at Wang Cuihua, and said, "It's kind of you to care about my Piaoxue, but she's a bit slow, so you'll have to wait a little longer."
“We’re all neighbors, so it’s only right that we care about and help each other,” Wang Cuihua said with a smile.
Lin Qinghuan rolled her eyes. They're all so hypocritical. Aren't they tired?
Lin's mother frowned deeply, inwardly resenting Wang Cuihua for not knowing how to be appreciative.
Lin Qinghuan looked at her father and mother and asked in confusion, "Dad, Mom, what time is it? Aren't you going to do your work?"
“Qinghuan, your Aunt Li is here for a visit. As the hosts, it wouldn’t be right for us to leave,” said Lin’s father.
Lin Qinghuan said, "What's wrong with that? My sister will be out in a moment. She can take care of Aunt Li."
Mr. Lin tugged at Mrs. Lin's clothes, and Mrs. Lin immediately reacted, looking at Wang Cuihua and saying, "Cuihua, sit down first. Piaoxue will come out after she changes her clothes. Let her have a good talk with you."
Mr. Lin gave Wang Cuihua an apologetic smile, picked up his hoe, and walked out the door with Mrs. Lin.
"Aunt Li, please sit down. I'll go back to my room to read first," Lin Qinghuan said, turning and going back to her room.
As soon as Lin Qinghuan entered the room, she saw Lin Piaoxue sitting nervously on the bed. She said to Lin Piaoxue, "It takes you so long to change your clothes. You're so fussy. I don't know why you dress so nicely at home."
Lin Piaoxue's expression froze, and she looked at Lin Qinghuan with a puzzled expression.
Lin Qinghuan pointed out the window, and Lin Piaoxue's face flashed with understanding. She pretended to be angry and said, "Lin Qinghuan, you're just jealous of me."
Lin Qinghuan: "You're overthinking it. I have a handsome and capable boyfriend now, why would I envy you?"
Lin Piaoxue: "It's too early to say anything before getting married."
...
Standing in the courtyard, Wang Cuihua listened to Lin Piaoxue's loud and energetic argument, which dispelled her doubts.
"Piaoxue, I haven't checked on the chickens at home yet. I'm going back to feed them now. If you have time, I'll visit my aunt's house." Wang Cuihua casually made up an excuse and headed towards the front door.
Lin Qinghuan drew back the curtains and watched Wang Cuihua walk out the door.
“Aunt Li has already left!” Lin Qinghuan said.
"Why are you helping me?" Lin Piaoxue asked, puzzled.
Lin Qinghuan said bluntly, "I am also a woman. Every woman is afraid of what you have gone through. I just can't bring myself to kick you when you're down. But I still hate you, I even despise you. I will never live in peace with you. You will always be the person I hate the most."
Lin Piaoxue felt relieved after hearing Lin Qinghuan's words. She was most afraid that Lin Qinghuan would take this opportunity to retaliate against her.
