Chapter 294: Chapter 294: His Reputation is Stinking Now Chapter 294: Chapter 294: His Reputation is Stinking Now He thought that Lin Laogeng intended to let Lin Caihe out of the shed, but now that Yang Lin was pregnant, and that girl had managed to enrage everyone in the family. If something were to go wrong, he certainly wouldn’t dare.
“Who could feel at ease if she were released?”
Without any hesitation, Lin Laogeng asked his son.
“Yesterday, when no one was home in the afternoon, I wanted to bring the girl some water. But who would have thought… that girl was there muttering about your wife and her mother being pregnant and not wanting her as a daughter anymore. I ask you, how can I feel at ease letting her out?”
Yesterday he was scared witless. He wanted to mention it in front of his wife, but Lu Qiubo was impetuous. If he were really to mention it, it would throw their home into chaos again.
Upon hearing his father’s words, Lin Baiyi was about to jump out of his chair.
And here he thought his wife couldn’t sleep or eat because that girl was locked up. This girl, blinded by self-interest, couldn’t stand to see her family at ease, could she?
“This… this damned girl!”
“No use scolding her now. We are the ones who spoiled her.” Lin Laogeng shook his head and sighed again.
“I originally thought that although Sangsang would be cherished, girl He shouldn’t be neglected. After all, both girls are granddaughters of the Lin Family. It wouldn’t look good to favor one over the other. But who would have thought…”
Despite being brought up the same, Sangsang and He are not the slightest bit similar.
“This girl’s temperament is just like that of your Second Brother.”
He had finally seen the light.
“So… Dad, what do you suggest we do?” Lin Baiyi asked.
She is, after all, his own daughter. Surely, he couldn’t treat her like his father did to Second Brother, casting him out of the door?
Moreover, Second Brother left on his own accord and caused his parents much grief. His parents were only relieved when Second Brother returned much older and could fend for himself without staying with them.
“I asked you here to discuss this with you. Girl He is thirteen this year. It’s time to find a suitable match for her.” Lin Laogeng looked at his son intently and continued weakly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Baiyi’s first reaction was: Whoever ended up marrying his troublesome daughter would suffer bad luck. Who would dare to marry her?
But upon second thought, she was his own flesh and blood. It was wrong to despise her so much. He needed to find a good home for her.
“Well… Dad, Sangsang is older than He. If we arrange for He to be married first, will it…”
Lin Laogeng denied his son’s conjecture.
“Sangsang just had an arranged marriage with the Zhou family called off. If we quickly find another match for her, there would surely be gossip. It doesn’t matter if we wait a little longer for her. However, as for girl He, we cannot delay any longer. After the last incident, the gossip must have spread throughout the village. If we don’t find a match for her soon, girl He’s chances will…”
What kind of match could they find? Her reputation is already ruined.
“Should I go and consult Aunt Guihua?” Lin Baiyi suggested.
He was also worried about his daughter’s marital prospects; if she continued to behave this way, her reputation would further degrade, making it even a problem whether she could get married at all.
“First, discuss this with your wife and let her know about it.” Lin Laogeng commanded.
“She’s carrying a child now, so she mustn’t get upset. Explain the situation properly to her. Don’t make her angry over this. If she disagrees, then forget about it, as if I never brought it up.”
