"Jingle bells, jingle bells..."
In the Lin family's courtyard, a geomancer was performing a ritual, beating drums and gongs and chanting Buddhist scriptures to remove the sins and evil spirits from Lin Piaoxue, hoping that she, a good person, would be reincarnated into a good family in her next life.
The Li family next door also set up a tent and invited a geomancer to chant sutras and Buddhist prayers.
Lin Qinghuan sat in a corner of the courtyard, watching the villagers and relatives chatting and laughing in small groups, and then looked at her father, whose face was full of grief, as if the sky had fallen.
Lin Qinghuan withdrew her gaze and idly stared at her toes.
"Qinghuan, tomorrow you and Xiao Wang drive to pick up your mother and your second brother," Lin's father said to Lin Qinghuan.
"Okay!" Lin Qinghuan replied.
Lin's father asked, "Qinghuan, are you still resentful towards me and your mother?"
Lin Qinghuan replied, "I used to resent it, but now I'm at peace with it."
Lin's father sighed, "It's good that you don't complain."
Lin Qinghuan glanced at her father. She felt neither resentment nor hatred. She had her grandfather, Wei Xiao, and Grandma Wei. She was loved and cared for; she was not lacking in love.
The next day, Lin Qinghuan and Xiao Wang drove to the hospital to pick up Lin's mother and Lin Feng.
When Lin Qinghuan and Xiao Wang arrived at the hospital, Lin Qingyi asked as soon as she saw them, "Qinghuan, what brings you here?"
Lin Qinghuan replied, "Grandpa asked me to pick up Mom and my second brother from the hospital."
Lin Qing's face showed understanding. "I'll go and complete the discharge procedures now."
Lin Qinghuan approached Lin Feng, took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill, and put it into Lin Feng's mouth. "This is a pill I made myself to treat external injuries."
Lin Feng swallowed the pill and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, Qinghuan."
Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Feng with a gloomy expression and kindly reminded him, "You should think about your marriage with Lin Dafeng now. After all, there are two lives between you. Lin Piaoxue's death is also indirectly related to Lin Yu. It's not an exaggeration to say that there are three lives between you."
Lin Feng was filled with melancholy and confusion. He said dejectedly, "I don't know where to go from here. I'll just leave it to fate!"
Lin Qinghuan asked, "Do you want to break up with her?"
Li Jianfeng shook his head. "I'm not the kind of man who starts something and then abandons it. I've never thought about breaking up with Dafeng."
Lin Qinghuan said, "Follow your heart!"
“Lin Yu’s funeral is today. If you still want to be with Lin Dafeng, you’d better go see her today. However…” Li Jianqing glanced at Lin’s mother, who was still fast asleep, and said, “Your father and mother might not want you to marry Lin Dafeng and will try to stop you from going.”
Lin Feng said with a headache, "Everything was fine before, how did it develop into this state?"
Lin Qinghuan leaned closer to Lin Feng and whispered, "I suspect Lin Yu was involved in the kidnapping of Lin Piaoxue, and even... he might have even harmed Lin Piaoxue..."
The meaning behind Lin Qinghuan's words was self-evident.
Lin Feng's pupils dilated slightly, and he stared at Lin Qinghuan in disbelief. "You, you mean Lin Yu and Li Jian kidnapped Piaoxue together and raped her?"
Lin Qinghuan nodded and said, "Think about it. Although Lin Piaoxue is a womanizer, she is relatively conservative in relationships. The fact that she is so crazy and wants to kill Lin Yu must mean that Lin Yu did something very outrageous to her, making her want to kill Lin Yu to vent her anger."
Lin Feng was deeply shocked and said in disbelief, "How could Lin Yu do this? He is my future father-in-law. How could he treat Piaoxue like that? He's worse than an animal."
Lin Qinghuan said, "He is avenging Lin Erfeng."
Lin Feng said, "Haven't we turned the page on this matter by avenging Erfeng?"
Lin Qinghuan sighed and said, "The hatred for killing my daughter is irreconcilable. How could Lin Yu forget it?"
Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of something and looked at Lin Qinghuan with a shocked expression, saying, "I heard that the scoundrel who raped Erfeng accidentally fell into the reservoir and drowned. Do you think Lin Yu might have killed him?"
Lin Qinghuan said, "Perhaps! You should keep this to yourself to avoid it getting out and those shameless family members retaliating against Lin Dafeng's family."
"When will this cycle of revenge end? We cannot let innocent people lose their lives because of suspicion."
"The root of all this is Lin Yu's lust. If he hadn't been lustful, none of this would have happened," Lin Feng said angrily.
Lin Qinghuan sighed, "What's done is done, there's no point in saying anything now."
“Yeah! What’s the point of saying all this now?” Lin Feng said quietly.
It sounded like someone was speaking to Lin Qinghuan, but it also sounded like they were speaking to themselves.
Lin Qinghuan glanced at Lin Feng, whose face was full of sorrow, and went to pack clothes for her mother.
After completing the discharge procedures, Lin Qing walked into the ward and said to Qing Huan and the others inside, "The procedures are complete, you can be discharged now."
Seeing her mother slowly open her eyes, Lin Qinghuan said to her, "Mom, you and my second brother can be discharged now. I've packed your clothes. Let's go home now!"
Lin Feng got out of bed, dressed, and stood aside waiting.
Lin Qing walked to her mother's bedside. "Mom, I'll carry you downstairs."
Lin Qing carried his mother on his back, and his body swayed slightly. Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Qing speechlessly. His mother weighed at most eighty pounds, and Lin Qing couldn't even carry her. Was he too useless?
Lin Qing looked up and met Lin Qinghuan's disdainful gaze. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't been resting well these past few days."
"Let me carry you! I'm strong," Xiao Wang said.
Lin Qinghuan approached Lin Qing and said slowly, "I've done farm work since I was little, so I'm strong. Let me do it!"
Lin Qinghuan picked up Lin Qing's mother from her back and strode out of the ward.
"Big brother, you're weak! You need to take good care of yourself." Lin Feng said, picking up his travel bag and chasing after Lin Qinghuan.
Xiao Wang joked, "Brother Lin really needs to take good care of himself."
Lin Qing was very unhappy about being questioned about his health. He was perfectly healthy, and Lin Feng was clearly making a personal attack, unable to bear seeing him doing well.
When Lin Qinghuan and the others returned to Baiyun Village, Lin Qinghuan carried her mother out of the car. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Lin's mother looked at the coffin placed in the shroud and the portrait of Lin Piaoxue on the table, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Her snowflakes! Her precious daughter!
Looking at Lin Piaoxue's portrait, Lin's mother was heartbroken and cried out in anguish, "Piao, Xue!" She spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"mom!"
"mom!"
"daughter in law!"
Lin Qing, Lin Feng, and Lin's father exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
