Grandpa Lin watched the paper money burn fiercely, the flames leaping high, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. He murmured to himself, "I know you blame me, blame me for abandoning you and the child."
"I also want to come back sooner, but I'm caught up in the world of martial arts and have no choice but to follow my own path. I have my own unavoidable difficulties."
"I thought you were still waiting for me at home. I didn't expect you to leave so early."
"Honey, I'm sorry I'm late."
As Grandpa Lin spoke, his eyes reddened. He forced himself to suppress his grief, stood up, walked to the side, looked up at the sky, and held back his tears.
Lin Qinghuan stood up and walked to Wei Xiao's side, took his arm, and said with emotion, "Wei Xiao, you can't abandon me like Grandpa did. I don't want to follow in Grandma's footsteps."
Wei Xiao lowered his eyes and gazed at Lin Qinghuan. Looking into her clear, watery eyes, his heart softened like a pool of water. He assured her, "No, how could I bear to leave you for so long?"
Upon hearing Wei Xiao's words, Lin Qinghuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her beautiful eyes shone brightly.
Wei Xiao looked into Lin Qinghuan's sparkling eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Lin's father and uncle exchanged a silent glance, their faces etched with sadness.
Lin's father sighed, looked at the three Lin brothers, and frowned. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and burn paper money for your grandmother."
These three sons have no sense of propriety at all; Qinghuan is much more likable.
Upon hearing their father's words, the three Lin brothers quickly went to the grave and burned paper money for their grandmother.
After burning the paper money, everyone bowed three times in front of Grandma Lin's grave, then packed their things to leave.
Wei Xiao squatted down in front of Lin Qinghuan. "Qinghuan, get on, I'll carry you down the mountain."
Lin Qinghuan beamed as she climbed onto Wei Xiao's back. Wei Xiao carried Lin Qinghuan and said to Lin's father and the others, "Qinghuan's body hasn't recovered yet, so she can't be too tired. I'll carry her down the mountain."
Seeing Lin Qinghuan clinging to Wei Xiao's back without any hesitation, Lin's father said helplessly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Xiao said politely, "I am Qinghuan's boyfriend. After the New Year, I will have my mother come to propose marriage. Qinghuan will be my wife in the future, so it is only right for me to take care of her."
After saying that, Wei Xiao carried Lin Qinghuan on his back and left first.
Uncle Lin looked at Father Lin and sighed, "Wei Xiao dotes on Qing Huan so much, he will definitely treat her well after marriage. Mother can rest in peace now."
Lin Qing's father nodded happily, confirming that Qinghuan had indeed found a good partner.
Lin Qinghuan lay on Wei Xiao's back, feeling her field of vision widen.
"Wei Xiao, have you ever carried other women on your back?"
Wei Xiao replied, "Memorize it."
Lin Qinghuan's eyes darkened. She had thought that Wei Xiao hadn't cheated on her with other women and was secretly pleased with herself.
“I carried my wounded comrade on my back,” Wei Xiao continued.
Lin Qinghuan's dim eyes lit up instantly, and joy welled up in her heart.
Lin Dafeng was carrying a bundle of firewood when she heard voices behind her. Curious, she turned around and saw Lin Qinghuan and Wei Xiao. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. When she saw the gauze on Lin Qinghuan's face, she was stunned. How did Lin Qinghuan get injured?
She only heard that Lin Qinghuan's chest and arms were injured by the robber, but her face didn't show any signs of injury from the robber!
She put the firewood down and stared intently at the injuries on Lin Qinghuan's face.
Lin Qinghuan noticed Lin Dafeng staring at her and asked, puzzled, as she passed by, "Lin Dafeng, why are you staring at me? Is there something you want to ask me?"
Lin Dafeng pointed at Lin Qinghuan's face and asked in confusion, "Your face?"
"Your father disfigured Lin Piaoxue's face. She couldn't stand to see me doing well, so while I was unconscious, she used a fruit knife to slash my face as well," Lin Qinghuan said frankly.
Lin Dafeng was stunned when she heard this!
She knew Lin Piaoxue was ruthless; otherwise, she wouldn't have schemed to ruin Erfeng in order to get revenge on her father. But she never expected Lin Piaoxue to disregard blood ties and hurt Lin Qinghuan.
"Lin Piaoxue is ruthless!" Lin Dafeng blurted out.
"That's pretty ruthless," Lin Qinghuan said.
Lin Qinghuan looked at the injuries on Lin Dafeng's face; they weren't bandaged and were just exposed.
"Lin Dafeng, you must not let the wound on your face get wet. If it gets wet, it will become inflamed and fester, causing the wound to ulcerate and making it very difficult to heal."
Lin Dafeng gave a bitter smile. "It doesn't matter. I never intended to get married anyway."
"A woman's pride comes from her own happiness. Even if she doesn't get married, she should still dress herself up beautifully so that she's happy and others feel comfortable looking at her," Lin Qinghuan said.
Lin Qinghuan knew that Lin Yu's reputation would be ruined after he was exposed for trying to rape Lin Piaoxue, and Lin Dafeng, as Lin Yu's daughter, would definitely be implicated, making it difficult for her to find a husband in the future.
Reputation is a mysterious thing; you can choose not to care, yet you can't help but care!
Lin Dafeng smiled but did not respond to Lin Qinghuan's words.
Lin Qinghuan and Lin Dafeng weren't close, but out of consideration for each other as women, she kindly offered a few words of advice.
"Wei Xiao, let's go home."
Wei Xiao gave a soft "hmm," glanced at Lin Dafeng, and continued walking forward with Lin Qinghuan on his back.
Lin Dafeng looked at Lin Qinghuan's back with envy. Lin Qinghuan had finally found happiness after hardship, but her future was uncertain.
As Lin Feng passed by Lin Dafeng, he saw her worried expression and whispered, "Don't worry, everything will be alright."
"Will it?" Lin Dafeng murmured to herself.
I don't know if I'm asking Lin Feng or myself.
"Yes, it will." Lin Feng said with certainty.
Lin Dafeng gave Lin Feng a bitter smile, "I hope so!"
No one knows whether the future will be good or bad; we can only hope that it will be bright!
