“What do you know?” Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her. “It’s not their place to gossip about our Lin family’s women!”
Lin Qingqian did not defend herself.
Most of the people living here were constrained to their traditional old ideas. If she bickered with them, she would be making things difficult for herself. She was not that stupid.
From three to four in the afternoon, people in the village started setting off firecrackers one after another. This meant that it was almost time for New Year’s Eve dinner.
Although there were only the two of them in the Lin family, Lin Chaoyan still prepared a large table of dishes. When it was almost dark, she hung the firecrackers she had carried back from the market on an old tree in the courtyard and lit them up.
After the firecrackers were done, the two of them then went into the house for New Year’s Eve dinner.
Lin Qingqian poured the wine from the wine jar into the wine glass and clinked glasses with her. “Auntie, Happy New Year, and… thank you.”
Lin Chaoyan was a little embarrassed by her words. “Aiyo, why are you saying this! You’re making me shy!”
After saying that, she took a big sip of wine and burped a few times.
There was a table of dishes and a jar of wine. The two of them ate and drank.
After three rounds of wine, Lin Chaoyan was a little tipsy. She said earnestly, “Those people are short-sighted and have not been exposed to the outside world much. They don’t know anything! What’s wrong with a divorce? “Divorces are the trend now. A woman can still live well if she divorces and leaves a man.”
Lin Qingqian also drank until her face was red. She nodded. “Auntie is right!”
Lin Chaoyan took a sip of wine. After putting down the glass, she looked at her and sighed. “You’re the only one left in our Lin family. In the future, you have to open your eyes and find the right man. You can’t let the Lin family have no descendants. Otherwise, even if I die, I won’t have the face to see the Old Master in the underworld.”
Hearing her say this, Lin Qingqian put down her chopsticks and said softly, “Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about? The Lin family still has you.”
Lin Chaoyan narrowed her eyes and waved her hand. “Who doesn’t know that I,
Lin Chaoyan, was adopted by the Old Master? Back then, I didn’t listen to the
Old Master and insisted on eloping with that bastard. In the end…”
At the mention of the past, Lin Chaoyan’s eyes turned red and misty.
Lin Chaoyan was a girl that Lin Yuanshan had adopted but Lin Yuanshan treated her as his own daughter. However, the little girl was young and insensible. She fell in love with a man from the neighboring village who worked in the city. She followed him out of the village as she wanted to live a good life and didn’t want to stay in this small mountain for the rest of her life.
In the end, after less than a month, she got pregnant and was tricked into getting an abortion. In the end, she was left abandoned in the hospital.
She couldn’t afford the medical fees and was eventually chased out. She had nowhere to go, not enough money to eat her fill and had nowhere to sleep. Her life was worse than a dog’s.
In the end, it was the Old Master who personally went to the city to fetch her back. However, everyone knew that she had run away with someone and was abandoned. Thus, no one was willing to marry her.
During that period of time, the Lin family couldn’t even raise their heads in Yushan and Lin Chaoyan even had thoughts of suicide.
Old Master and Lin Qingqian’s parents endured all the criticism and took care of her meticulously until Lin Qingqian was born.
Lin Qingqian’s mother’s health was not good after giving birth to her, so the Old Master handed Lin Qingqian to Lin Chaoyan to take care of. He only let her mother take care of her when she was one year old and her health improved.
At that time, Lin Chaoyan no longer had the thought of courting death. She only had an abortion and injured her body. She could no longer have children in her life, so she gave up the thought of getting married.
After Lin Qingqian’s parents died, she guarded Lin Qingqian and the Old Master. When the Old Master passed away and Lin Qingqian went to Lan City, she guarded the Lin Family alone.
Lin Qingqian held her hand and said solemnly, “You’re my biological Auntie. I’ll support you in your old age in the future and send you off..”
