Chapter 133: Chapter 37 Sibling Love_2

"Take this money back, we don’t want it," Lin Xiaolu said.

He felt uneasy. If he had known this day would come, he might not have agreed to sell his sister; his son could have dropped out of school for a year or two, and it wouldn’t have been a big problem.

But now... there was no medicine for regret in this world.

Lin Xiaokang and Lin Xiaoshou also nodded, "We can’t take this money."

Lin Xiaofu kept his head down and didn’t speak, but he tacitly agreed with his brothers’ decision.

Seeing them like this, Lin Xiaoxi felt no relief at all. Logically, Lin Xiaoguai had suffered, but she had managed without any irreversible harm. However, as Lin Xiaoxi, who had grown up with Lin Xiaoguai since childhood, always felt his sister had been greatly wronged—a wrong so great that no matter what his cousins did, he couldn’t forgive them.

The feeling was inexplicable, but he had no intention of going against it.

"Keep it. If you don’t take it, I’ll worry that you’re retreating to advance, trying to get more benefits from my sister," Lin Xiaoxi’s words were not without venom, but he felt no remorse.

He had always known how soft his sister’s heart was; she could have been a pampered youngest child but always tired herself out considering others. She had worried so much for those four unworthy brothers and felt such pain from their betrayal!

Additionally, their uncle had passed away at that time, enduring such an ordeal while on his deathbed, he didn’t know how many times he felt fortunate that his sister had survived.

Just feeling fortunate once made him hate these four men once more. They were her blood siblings; how could they be so indifferent to her life or death for the sake of money?

The three, including Lin Xiaokang, were somewhat angered by his words, but Lin Xiaolu looked deeply at Lin Xiaoxi and said, "Okay, we’ll take the money."

Previously, because they were her brothers, Xiaoxi had always disliked them.

At that time, he only thought it was just a childish emotion, but now he somewhat understood the deep meaning behind his dislike.

He thought, as brothers, compared to the affection and effort Xiaogui gave them, they had never really reciprocated equally.

Many brides encounter this issue; a husband often sides with his little sister.

Because Xiaogui was born later, when their wives entered the family, she was still young. They never held the thought that "compared to a half-stranger wife, naturally, a blood sister is more important"—an illogical but common belief.

As time went by and they had children, they valued Xiaogui even less. With their own families and their father’s doting on Xiaogui, they unconsciously placed her outside their immediate family.

Regarding this, Xiaogui never complained. She always tried to be considerate to her brothers, but Xiaoxi, the brother who was closest to her, realized this and hence felt the injustice for her.

Lin Xiaolu felt a mix of loss, guilt, and relief; fortunately, there was Xiaoxi, the brother who cherished Xiaogui the most. These conscienceless brothers of hers would probably gradually become less significant.

Their harm to her would also fade gradually.

With this money, Xiaogui could also more easily delineate her boundaries with them without burden.

With a gesture, stopping his brothers who wanted to speak, Lin Xiaolu smiled, "Xiaoxi, congratulations, you’ve finally snatched Xiaogui from our hands."

He spoke meaningfully; the other three seemed to understand something only they knew, but they no longer opposed Lin Xiaolu taking the money.

Watching the four leave, Lin Xiaoxi was silent for a long time before saying, "I can’t let you have a second chance to hurt Xiaogui."

Xiaogui’s heart is too soft; let him sever this sibling bond for her.

"Why bother," Tang Hanfang came out of the house, looking puzzled.

Actually, according to her, Xiaogui was fine, and the four brothers had always been guilt-ridden. Over time, both parties would likely reconcile. Why did her husband have to be the villain?

"You don’t understand," Lin Xiaoxi said, "Xiaogui is a person who can’t tolerate even a speck of dust in her eyes when it comes to relationships. Even if she forgives Xiao Kang because of her soft heart, she can never return to the past. For someone as pristine and principled as her, maintaining such a tainted sibling relationship is nothing but torture."

In this world, aside from Lin Guoqiang, it was Lin Xiaoxi who knew Lin Xiaoguai the best.

Even after a lifetime, this would not change.

Because the essence of Lin Xiaoguai had always stubbornly persisted.

Lin Xiaomao went with Tang Hanfang to the clinic to treat her wounds, and Lin Xiaoyu followed, gathering both families at Lin Xiaoxi’s house.

"What about any news of Xiao Niao? What are we going to do?" Lin Xiaoping asked anxiously.

They had been searching for two days. They heard yesterday that Xiao Niao had paid to ride in an old man’s ox cart, but when they found the old man, he said Xiao Niao got off in the county and didn’t mention where she was heading.

"Let’s stop looking," Lin Xiaoxi sighed, "It’s obvious that the child doesn’t want us to find her and bring her back."

"How could we not?" Lin Xiaoping glared at him, "She’s still so young; what if something happens?"

"It probably won’t." Facing everyone’s doubts, Lin Xiaoxi said, "Xiaogui once mentioned that although Xiao Niao looks the most like Zhu Fen, her personality is most like our uncle. She never fights a battle without assurance and is very calculated. She must have considered all these things we’re discussing. I suspect the reason she only left now is that she was preparing for the past two years."

Originally, Xiaogui had even clenched her fist and vowed to gather enough tuition fees to allow Xiao Niao to enter grade five before she turned 12 because she wouldn’t be able to continue taking Xiao Niao with her once she went to university. And since Xiao Niao had learned so much from her, she needed a diploma to have a future.(To be continued.
