Chapter 128: Chapter 35: Reminiscence

Lin Xiaoniao instructed her younger sister here, but Zhu Fen had run off to Lin Xiaolu’s home.

At the time, Lin Xiaolu, Lin Xiaoshou, and their wives Cai Qiufang and Xu Axue, along with a few children, were also present.

Although Lin Xiaoyun was only a few years older than Lin Xiaomao and rather introverted, her mind was incomparably sharper. She hadn’t openly asked about the family matters these past two years, but she actually knew everything.

Yet even though she disapproved of what her parents had done to her little aunt, she knew that in the end, they did it for her and her younger brother. Besides, even if she wanted to intervene, she couldn’t, so she could only remain silent.

But deep down, she felt some sadness. The aunt who once cherished them would probably never be the same.

At that moment, as she listened to her parents and uncles and aunts bring up her aunt again, she sighed, and took the listless Lin Lei, Lin Rui, and the clueless Lin Ming away.

"You tell me, just tell me, what has Lin Xiaoguai done? Isn’t everything she has today because of us? Now she has the nerve to turn her back on us and be kind to strangers instead." Zhu Fen complained furiously.

Cai Qiufang glanced at her but said nothing. However, the look in her eyes was nothing short of mocking. She always found her second sister-in-law astute and calculating, but in reality so foolish, always the quickest to raise her voice yet what she said was a joke.

She didn’t even consider that selling daughters is the same either way. The Zhu Family initially, just for Zhu Fen to have a better life at her in-laws, merely asked for two bags of sweet potatoes from the Lin Family—a decision made when they were on the brink of starvation. And now, Zhu Fen looked down on her own family members, not even visiting during the early days of the new year, yet she expected the little aunt, whom she sold for 3,000 yuan, to still smile at her?

What a delusion!

Indeed, Shen Chi’s prospects were countless times better than Lin Xiaofu’s, but was Lin Xiaoguai any worse? A prospective student at Capital University, after graduation, she’d likely earn more than any man in Fengyuan Village. Did she really need to be sold off?

Even without Shen Chi, her future was bound to be bright!

Unlike Zhu Fen, Cai Qiufang never expected forgiveness for agreeing to sell her little aunt for the sake of her children. She didn’t regret it, as it was all for her children’s futures.

The little aunt was good, and she hadn’t ruled out taking advantage of the little aunt’s success after graduation, but people change. Who knew if the little aunt would even remember her brothers and nieces and nephews after going to the Capital? And if she married into a Capital family, how much of that fortune would fall to her in-laws?

But the 3,000 yuan was tangible. With that money, whether it was for their son’s education or their daughter’s marriage, she felt reassured.

People said she had no conscience, and she readily accepted. As long as Xiao Yun and Xiao Rui were well, what did it matter to her if she went to hell?

Xu Axue, however, thought what Zhu Fen said made sense and nodded, "Wanwan is still young, not understanding that only her real brothers will truly have her best interests at heart. Those outsiders might look good now, but when trouble arises, they’ll be the quickest to run."

Cai Qiufang’s look became even more scornful. If she found Zhu Fen’s situation laughable, she outright looked down on Xu Axue.

It was exactly like the saying went: "Playing the harlot while trying to pass as a paragon." That described Xu Axue perfectly.

She had already done everything, yet disturbed by an uneasy conscience, she came to weep and seek solace. When the little aunt was hospitalized, she cried and screamed to visit her, and only stayed home because her husband forcefully kept her there. Once she heard the little aunt had successfully given birth to a son, she felt no guilt, even presumptuously criticizing the little aunt with the tone of an elder, as if the little aunt owed them the same attitude as before.

Fortunately, her husband was exceptionally assertive on this matter, keeping her in check and preventing her from causing disgust by going to the little aunt.

"You better keep quiet," Lin Xiaoshou suddenly kicked Xu Axue’s chair with a loud thump.

He was strong, and Xu Axue’s body shook with the chair, flustered, she wailed, "What are you doing, head of the family?"

"What am I doing?" Lin Xiaoxi’s eyes reddened, his teeth clenched tight as he growled ferociously, "I could strangle you!"

At first, his wife agreed to Shen Chi’s marriage proposal behind his and his sisters-in-law’s backs. By the time he found out, it was already settled. Though he erupted in anger, after his wife and siblings convinced him, considering the family genuinely needed the money and since a good woman shouldn’t marry twice, if he refused, it would harm his sister’s reputation, he reluctantly agreed.
