Chapter 705: I won’t stop talking until I astonish people

As Jing Ran spoke up to this point, the Lin Family still couldn’t accept it.

Especially Li Xiuli.

Her face turned extremely pale.

She gazed at Jing Ran, forgetting even to blink.

The more she looked, the clearer Jing Ran’s words echoed in her ears.

"Are you saying, just because my Tangtang is frail, and you look robust, that woman swapped Tangtang with you?" Li Xiuli said, incredulous.

Jing Ran gave a wry smile and nodded, "...Yes."

She knew how absurd the truth sounded, yet that was the reality.

Li Xiuli also thought the reason sounded like a joke.

"Because her own child was weak, she swapped for someone else’s child..."

"Even drama scripts wouldn’t dare to write such a plot!"

"How could someone so educated and insightful do something so inhumane!"

"Doesn’t she have any maternal feelings? Can you even call that being a mother?!"

She couldn’t articulate exactly what she felt, but her words were filled with anger.

This fury wasn’t for herself, but for the injustice Tangtang must feel.

A child from a prominent family had, for some illogical reason, been switched into their struggle.

Barely enough to eat, never warm enough, meat only twice a year, and rarely tasting sugar.

Finally getting into university, only to have her acceptance letter stolen...

Just thinking about it made Li Xiuli feel Tangtang’s grievances.

Now she was being told that Tangtang could have avoided all these hardships.

For Li Xiuli, who loved her daughter as life itself, it truly felt like a knife to the heart.

"How could anyone dislike Tangtang, they must be blind! Tangtang has always been so well-behaved even when little, how could that woman bear to part with her?!"

Li Xiuli held back for as long as she could, but eventually, the anger brought tears to her eyes.

The three stunned Lin brothers saw their mother cry and immediately came to their senses.

"Mom, don’t cry. When you cry, it makes me want to cry too. My perfectly fine sister all of a sudden belongs to someone else, everyone here feels wronged," said Lin Qingmu.

Right now he was in a daze, feeling as if he hadn’t woken up yet.

Lin Qingshan stood there, speechless.

His sister isn’t his blood relative?!

His mind had gone blank.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck next to his ear in the summer, leaving his ears buzzing.

Lin Qingshui agreed with Lin Qingmu, nodding numbly.

Right!

He felt like crying too T﹏T

Lin Lu wiped the tears from Li Xiuli’s eyes, trying to remain calm.

He had no doubt about Jing Ran’s words.

First, he had a good impression of Comrade Jing Ran, and second, he had noticed some resemblance between Jing Ran and his daughter-in-law, and between Tangtang and Jing Ze, the male educated youth.

He’d thought it was a coincidence before, but now he understood that all coincidences had a reason.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Lin Lu looked at Jing Ran, "You’re saying your father had an accident and you want Tangtang to go see him with you?"

Jing Ran nodded, her eyes brimming with tears, "Yes, my dad is still in the hospital, and my second uncle says his condition is quite serious."

Lin Lu’s heart softened at her expression.

Sigh...

Having reached this point in their conversation, he was almost convinced by this young lady’s words.

With the Jing Family’s conditions being so good, there was nothing for his family to scheme about.

Realizing that Tangtang wasn’t his own daughter, a stinging sensation came to Lin Lu’s eyes.

"My child’s mother, Tangtang isn’t our daughter anymore?!" He looked at Li Xiuli, tears streaming down his murky eyes.

He could no longer maintain the image of a family head.

Li Xiuli was also distressed, as if someone was churning her heart with a club. Her voice raised and frantic, she replied, "How can she not be? As long as Tangtang is willing to acknowledge us, we’re still her parents..."

Before she could finish her encouraging words, Lin Lu interrupted, "If our home is like this, and Tangtang despises us, what will we do?!"

Thinking about something, the tears of a rural man of his age flowed freely, causing both heartache and laughter.

Lin Qingmu was confident in his sister, speaking with assurance, "Do you folks think Tangtang is that kind of person? You’re underestimating her!"

"If Tangtang despised us, she wouldn’t have run around for us, taking me, Big Brother, and Second Brother out of the village, managing the Sauce Factory and starting a medicinal field..."

"Whether she’s blood-related or not, in my heart, Tangtang is my true sister."

This was his heartfelt sentiment.

Although learning that Tangtang wasn’t his true sister brought Lin Qingmu sorrow, he knew even more that in the end, the family had to face the facts. Sorrow was useless.

Since, in his heart, Tangtang would always be his sister regardless of whether she acknowledged him, Lin Qingmu felt somewhat relieved.

Lin Qingshan’s furrowed brows relaxed as he said, "I agree with the third brother’s words!"

Lin Qingshui also made his stance clear.

Ning Xinrou felt sorry for her little sister-in-law, her gaze filled with complexity, "Shouldn’t we mention this to Tangtang first? This is all too... too sudden, she might not be able to accept it right away."

Tangtang was so homesick, this revelation must feel like a bolt from the blue, right?

Zhou Mei glanced at Jing Ran and bluntly said, "The city conditions are so good, won’t Tangtang follow her birth parents back to the city?"

This startling question silenced everyone.

Who didn’t know that city conditions were better?

This was exactly what everyone in the courtyard feared.

Zhou Mei’s words were like tearing open a piece of glass that the Lin Family had always hesitated to shatter.

Li Xiuli was in turmoil, "If Tangtang really goes back to the city, what will your father and I do?"

Her mind raced.

"Third Brother, you’ve been running around and know a lot of people. If Tangtang really goes back to the city, find a place to rent for your father and me close to the Jing Family. I can’t be at peace."

Luckily, their uncle was the Captain, and getting a recommendation letter would be relatively easy; otherwise, leaving the brigade would be hard.

Lin Lu nodded, "Yes!"

Lin Qingmu thought his parents were worrying needlessly since Tangtang wasn’t that kind of person, but to reassure his folks, he agreed anyway.

"...Alright, if it comes to that, we’ll do as you say."

With that, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli felt a little bit more at ease.

Hearing the Lin Family’s every word and sentence filled with concern for Lin Tang, Jing Ran felt envious.

But thinking about her dad and brothers’ affection for her, she came to terms with it.

One shouldn’t be too greedy, right?

So Jing Ran waited quietly for the Lin Family to gradually settle their emotions.

As they came to grips with the fact that the educated youth before them should be their closest kin, the Lin Family didn’t know what expression to wear.

Li Xiuli was even more conflicted.

She’d previously had a good impression of Jing Ran, but now knowing Jing Ran was truly the one from her own womb, her feelings were indescribably mixed.

"Educated Youth Jing, you..."

Wanting to say something, yet not knowing how to start.

With a large heart, Jing Ran was well-prepared for this and didn’t feel upset by the formality.

With a sincerely smiling face, she said, "Auntie Li, I know it must be hard for you all to get used to. Let’s keep things as they were before, and let time decide what happens next, alright?"

Her words eased the tense atmosphere.

Li Xiuli’s expression relaxed as she replied, "Alright, alright."

She knew their current behavior might be unfair to Jing Ran...

But her Tangtang was also suffering.
