Chapter 128 - 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?
