Chapter 129 - 35: Reminiscence_2
When the news that his younger sister almost miscarried reached him, he regretted it deeply, wishing he could bring her back.
Thinking of Lin Xiaole, whom he had recently pretended not to see, his heart ached in many ways.
Initially, their father always said that the four brothers together were not as good as their younger sister. He disagreed at the time, but now it seemed that father was right; they were all good-for-nothings!
Seeing his younger brother like this, Lin Xiaolu also felt terrible, though his sister, close as she was, wasn’t as important to him as his own children. He had no achievements to speak of, but he didn’t want his children to end up like him. Without that dowry, his son wouldn’t have been able to afford schooling; how could he wish his son to come back and be a mere farmer like himself?
The four Lin brothers had their shortcomings: the eldest, Lin Xiaokang, was honest but not clever, no matter how hard he worked, it wasn’t enough to support his children; the second, Lin Xiaofu, was not only honest but also timid, never daring to voice his disagreements with his wife; the third, Lin Xiaolu, had no special talents, his only advantage was his clear view of reality and his readiness to compromise; the youngest, Lin Xiaoshou, had some spirit but lacked decisiveness, and with such a confused wife, he was often passive.
Such brothers had shaped Lin Xiaoguai’s lonely fate in her previous life.
When she was called to the transmission room for a phone call, Lin Xiaoguai thought it was her aunt wanting to discuss the items she had asked her brother to take back, so she went joyfully, only to hear unexpected news.
"What did you say, Xiao Niao is missing!?" Lin Xiaoguai exclaimed, shocked.
