Wei Xiao watched as Lin Qinghuan hid behind Qin Zhen, radiating a joyful aura. A hint of curiosity appeared on his face. Why was Lin Qinghuan deliberately insulting her father?
The village chief looked at Lin's father's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and felt a pang of sympathy. With a daughter like that, he must have been so angry that he would have lived a few years less.
Lin Piaoxue looked at her father and said nervously, "Dad, I misspoke just now. Please don't take it to heart. You've always loved me so much since I was little. You're a very good father."
Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue with a blank expression and said, "Sister, you just misspoke and said such a thing. If you keep thinking about it, wouldn't that kill Dad? Dad is already very old and can't take your torment."
Lin Qinghuan looked at her father and said, "Dad, your eyes must be covered in eye boogers, otherwise why would you love Lin Piaoxue so much? If you die from Lin Piaoxue's anger one day, it will be your own doing."
Lin's father looked at Lin Qinghuan with a helpless expression and said, "Qinghuan, I'm about to be driven crazy by you."
Lin Qinghuan looked at her father in disbelief and said, "Dad, I know I'm not good at sweet talk, so you've never liked it since I was little, but I'm just telling the truth. Anyone can flatter."
Lin's father looked at Lin Qinghuan and said, "Try flattering her yourself."
Lin Qinghuan laughed upon hearing this. She wasn't the original owner of this body, so flattering was a piece of cake for her.
"Dad, are you sure you want to hear this?" Lin Qinghuan asked her father.
Lin's father rolled his eyes at Lin Qinghuan, convinced that Lin Qinghuan was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything nice.
Lin Qinghuan walked up to her father and said, "My father looks honest and kind, a reliable man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married such a beautiful wife and had three big, fat sons in a row. The Lin family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke. He also had such an outstanding daughter, Lin Piaoxue. In the future, I'll find you a rich and handsome husband so you can live a life of luxury. After you've eaten your fill every day, you can wear a Zhongshan suit and shiny black leather shoes and stroll around the village. The compliments will be as endless as the Yellow River. If this were ancient times, everyone would respectfully call you Master Lin..."
Lin's father's lips twitched as he listened to Lin Qinghuan's words. Who said Lin Qinghuan was dull? She's quick-witted!
Qin Zhen almost burst out laughing, but he held back for the sake of Lin's father's face.
Wei Xiao's lips twitched twice. This was the first time he had ever encountered such an amusing family. The father was not like a father, and the daughter was like a debt collector. He was truly speechless!
The young man standing next to Wei Xiao held back for a while, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. This family was too funny.
Lin Qinghuan moved closer to her father and asked, "Dad, do you want to continue? Your daughter still has a lot to say."
Lin's father, both amused and exasperated, poked Lin Qinghuan's forehead and said, "Lin Qinghuan, your father is truly impressed with you!"
“Dad, you don’t understand me. I used to endure all my grievances because I wanted our family to be harmonious and prosperous. But now I think, why should I suffer in this life? I should live however I want to be happy,” Lin Qinghuan said.
In Lin Qinghuan's dictionary, there is no such thing as compromising oneself to please others. If you don't love yourself, how can others love you?
Lin's father sighed. He had neglected Lin Qinghuan too much in the past and didn't understand her at all.
Lin Qinghuan walked up to Lin Piaoxue, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "My dear sister, if I suggest not taking you with me to the city, will your brother Wei agree to my suggestion?"
Lin Piaoxue's expression changed drastically. She glared angrily at Lin Qinghuan and said in a deep voice, "You dare to ruin my plans? I won't let you get away with this."
Lin Qinghuan patted her chest and said fearfully, "Sister, I'm so scared! I don't know what you're going to do to me."
Lin Piaoxue leaned close to Lin Qinghuan's ear and threatened, "Lin Qinghuan, I know what Dad is planning. He wants me to go to the city so he can find a rich partner to help the family. If you dare to ruin his plans, Dad won't let you off the hook."
Lin Qinghuan scoffed, a look of disdain on her face, and said, "I hope you can snag a rich husband and fulfill your wish to be a young mistress."
Lin Piaoxue said coldly, "You don't need to worry about it. Just mind your own business."
"I hope you won't make a fool of yourself like a clown," Lin Qinghuan said.
Wei Xiao's eyes flickered. The Lin family was really cunning; they even dared to scheme against his Wei family. They were incredibly bold.
"Pack your change of clothes, let's get ready to set off!" Wei Xiao said expressionlessly.
“I also live in the city, so we’re going the same way,” Qin Zhen said.
Wei Xiao looked coldly at Qin Zhen and said, "Whatever."
Wei Xiao didn't care whether Qin Zhen was going the same way or not; he just wanted to get home as soon as possible.
Lin Qinghuan and Lin Piaoxue entered the room, and Lin's mother followed them in.
"Piaoxue, get two sets of clothes for Qinghuan. She can't be dressed too shabbily," Lin's mother said to Lin Piaoxue.
Lin Qinghuan refused, saying, "I don't need it, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed."
Lin's mother said sternly, "You may not care about your reputation, but I do."
Lin Qinghuan refused again, saying, "I don't wear clothes that other people have worn before; it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Lin's mother said sternly, "Lin Qinghuan, don't be so willful."
"Mom, if you say that again, I won't go. Let Lin Piaoxue go by herself. I just don't know if Wei Xiao would be willing to take her with him," Lin Qinghuan said coldly.
"You..." Lin's mother was speechless with anger; Lin Qinghuan was threatening her.
Lin Piaoxue was worried that Lin Qinghuan wouldn't go to the city and that Wei Xiao wouldn't take her with him, so she quickly said, "Mom, I have two sets of new clothes that I've been saving for Qinghuan."
Lin Piaoxue was worried that she was dressed too nicely and Lin Qinghuan's clothes were too old, which would displease Grandma Wei. So she reluctantly offered to give Lin Qinghuan her new clothes. If necessary, she could just coax her mother into buying her new clothes.
Looking at Lin Qinghuan, Lin's mother said, "Look how understanding your sister is."
Lin Qinghuan crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Mom, if you were willing to spend money to buy me new clothes, would I need to wear my sister's clothes? Don't you feel guilty saying these things?"
Lin Qinghuan gave a cold laugh and said, "I forgot, you only have a loving heart for your brother and sister, but not for me. In your heart, I am nothing."
Lin's mother turned pale after being rebuked by Lin Qinghuan, but she couldn't say anything in rebuttal. Just as she was about to loudly criticize Lin Qinghuan to regain her dignity, Lin Piaoxue stopped her.
“Mom, now is not the time to curse. The village chief and Wei Xiao are outside. It wouldn’t be good if they heard us,” Lin Piaoxue said.
Lin's mother glared at Lin Qinghuan with anger and frustration, then she and Lin Piaoxue took out new clothes and threw them on Lin Qinghuan's bed.
Lin Qinghuan looked at the new clothes on the bed and laughed.
