Chapter 160: 072: Revelation of Background_5

Her daughter is a fool.

When Lin Guixiang and her daughter wanted to move to Qing City with her, she had told her daughter not to agree, but Zhao Cuinong insisted on bringing them along.

After all, a daughter is someone else’s family once she’s married off, and Mother Zhao couldn’t stop it, so she had to agree.

Now she always felt that the reason Lin Guixiang and her daughter could make a living in Qing City was all thanks to her daughter and son-in-law’s efforts.

"Mom, what are you talking about? My elder sister-in-law is now making good money in her business!"

"Business?" Mother Zhao turned to look at Zhao Cuinong.

"Mhm," Zhao Cuinong nodded.

In Mother Zhao’s mind, Lin Guixiang was dull and stupid, and she couldn’t even recognize many characters.

Such a person...

How could she possibly be doing business?

Mother Zhao continued, "What kind of business does she do?"

"Selling skincare products," Zhao Cuinong went on, "The business is doing well, and I have invested a bit too."

Mother Zhao moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but seeing her daughter’s expression, she swallowed the rest of her words.

Zhao Cuinong knew what her mother was thinking. She was the type to speak her mind, "Mom, Lin Bingqiang was raised by my elder sister-in-law. Without her, there would be no Lin Bingqiang today. It’s said that an elder sister is like a mother. She raised Lin Bingqiang, so it’s normal for him to treat her well now! Don’t keep stoking the flames here; this is none of your business! Lin Bingqiang respects you, too, but that’s for my sake."

If Lin Bingqiang were really provoked, he could turn his back on someone.

In Lin Bingqiang’s eyes, nobody was more important than Lin Guixiang.

Zhao Cuinong’s words were both a reminder and a warning.

"I know, I know," Mother Zhao nodded, not daring to argue with her daughter anymore.

Suddenly, as if Zhao Cuinong remembered something, "Oh mom, I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?" Mother Zhao asked.

"Have you ever seen Lin Bingqiang’s parents?"

Mother Zhao nodded, "I have."

Zhao Cuinong immediately became interested, "Then do you think my elder sister-in-law looks more like my father-in-law or like my mother-in-law?"

"I don’t think she looks like either of them."

Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong slightly furrowed her brow.

Doesn’t look like either?

What does Mother mean by that?

"Could it be from generations past? Does she resemble Lin Bingqiang’s grandparents?"

Mother Zhao laughed a bit, giving Zhao Cuinong a mysterious look, "You don’t know yet, do you?"

"Know what?"

Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes, "Your elder sister-in-law, she isn’t really from the Lin Family at all."

My goodness!

Zhao Cuinong felt as if she had stumbled upon some enormous secret and stared wide-eyed, "What do you mean?"

Seeing her daughter’s excitement, Mother Zhao hurriedly continued, "When she came to Lin City Town, she was only four or five years old. I heard she had a high fever that affected her intelligence, and she was always picking things out of the garbage heap in our town to eat."

At this point, Mother Zhao paused, then added, "Your mother-in-law felt sorry for her, so she picked her up and brought her home, and from then on, she raised her as her own daughter."

Later, after the Lin Family Parents passed away, it was all up to Lin Guixiang to hold the family together.

Gradually, people just stopped remembering about it.

But Mother Zhao remembered it very clearly.

Zhao Cuinong was even more surprised, "Mom, don’t lie to me!"

She had been married into the Lin Family for so many years and had never known about this.

"Why would I lie to you about such a thing?" Mother Zhao glanced at her, "When your mother-in-law brought her home, I even went over to see the commotion!"

Even now, Mother Zhao still remembered what Lin Guixiang looked like at that time.

With this thought, Mother Zhao couldn’t help but sigh, "At that time, the child didn’t have a single unscathed spot on her body, as thin as a monkey, trembling at the sight of anyone. Come to think of it, your father-in-law and mother-in-law really were good people! If it hadn’t been for them, where would your elder sister-in-law be now?"

A three- or four-year-old child, living off trash to fill her belly every day, how long could she have survived?

Moreover, Lin Guixiang had been injured at the time.

After Lin Guixiang’s adoptive parents picked her up, they also spent quite a bit of money on her treatment, until she gradually got better around the age of seven or eight.

Zhao Cuinong slightly furrowed her brow, "Then why haven’t I heard Lin Bingqiang mention this?"

"Lin Bingqiang was just a kid himself back then! How could he possibly remember that?" Mother Zhao’s memory was still very sharp despite her age, "Plus, your father-in-law and mother-in-law really loved Guixiang. They would tell everyone that she was their own biological daughter! I remember one time Guixiang got into a fight with a child from the neighboring village, and someone cursed her for being unwanted. Your mother-in-law was busy in the kitchen at the time, but when she heard that, she immediately rushed over with a cooking spatula! She hit the child over the head and created a big gash; there was a lot of blood!"

"After that, no kid in the village dared to say that your elder sister-in-law was a picked-up child anymore."

After all, Lin Guixiang’s mother took real action.
