Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Come, Eat a Piece of Meat to Calm Down Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Come, Eat a Piece of Meat to Calm Down Lin Caisang: “…”
Brother, is it really okay to be so harsh on your own sister? I am your biological sister, after all.
“I’m not saying she’s little, I’m just saying we’re all family, and you shouldn’t be so petty.”
It’s not appropriate to say Lin Caihe is still little now, she can only switch to a different way of speaking, a little argument between family members is nothing.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, here, have a piece of meat to calm down.”
She stood up, picked up a piece of braised pork, and offered it to Lin Changhong’s mouth.
Lin Changhong couldn’t help but laugh at his sister’s behavior, he could only swallow his anger, eat first and argue later.
Lin Caihe watched as they didn’t take her seriously at all, even eating the braised pork she was eyeing, makes her gnash her teeth and shed tears.
She turned around, intending to go outside to find her parents to help her, only to see her father standing there with an ashen face, carrying Grandpa on his back.
She was startled, frightened by her father’s unhappiness.
“He’er, you’re really too thoughtless.”
Lin Laogeng looked at his granddaughter, Lin Caihe, and sighed shaking his head.
“Grandpa, I… I just… I just feel that Sister Sangsang shouldn’t have spent all the money, it’s… ” Lin Caihe tried to explain something weakly.
“That’s the money Changhong and Sangsang earned, who’s gonna spend it if not them, give it to you to spend?” Lin Baiyi shouted angrily.
“Changhong was right just now, if you want to spend money, go earn it yourself, why are you relying on Sangsang’s money? Who deserves to earn money for you to spend? Are Sangsang and Changhong your parents?”
Lin Caihe drooped her head, dare not speak any more.
Lin Laogeng shook his head, sighing again.
“Three, can you carry me in, it’s a bit tiring to carry me .”
Hearing his words, Lin Baiyi glared at Lin Caihe one more time before carrying Lin Laogeng into the house and setting him in the chair. He then turned and glared at Lin Caihe again, indescribably angry.
Earlier in the town, when he heard that Sangsang and Changhong were going to earn money to buy him a bullock cart, he was overjoyed. The feeling that the children in the family were finally growing up and becoming sensible is simply beyond words.
But how long was it before he heard these words from his own daughter, like a bucket of cold water pouring down, making him feel utterly disappointed!
“You, this ignorant girl, how can I….”
“Third Uncle, don’t be angry.”
Seeing Lin Baiyi about to raise his hand and strike Lin Caihe, Lin Caisang hurriedly tried to stop him.
But indeed, Lin Caihe is too thoughtless. If she had a daughter like that, she’d be so angry she’d drop dead. No wonder Lin Baiyi is furious enough to hit her.
Upon hearing her words, Lin Baiyi took a deep breath, stomped to the side, and stopped talking.
“Caihe, what my brother just said may not be pleasant to hear, but it is the hard truth.”
Lin Caisang looked at Lin Caihe seriously, walked step by step to her face, and began to explain softly.
“Perhaps in your eyes, me and my brother making money to feed you and clothe you is natural, because that’s how it’s been since our father’s time. But I’m telling you now, this is wrong. Everyone has their own hands and feet, they can support themselves, you’re no exception.
My brother and I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of Grandpa and Grandma, because they are elders, the parents of our father. But we have no obligation to provide for your livelihood, or to nurture you. To put it bluntly, if my brother and I are willing to spend money on you, that’s generosity, but if we aren’t, it’s perfectly justified, and nobody has the right to question us.
