Little Six touched the back of his head and asked in confusion, “miss Lin, where are your parents?”
Lin Yuelan said indifferently, “I don’t have parents.” Then, she walked back to her house. After taking two steps, she seemed to remember something. She turned her head and said, “Oh, right, my house is small and can’t accommodate a few grown men. So, you can, uh, make a bed on the floor here.”
Lin Yuelan pointed to an empty space in front of the house and continued, “It’s summer now, so you won’t freeze.”
When Lin Yuelan said that she had no parents, Jiang Zhennan and the others were all shocked. They didn’t expect the young woman to be an orphan.
When Jiang Zhennan heard that Lin Yuelan was a child without parents, he suddenly felt sourness in his heart. He felt very pitiful and distressed for this child.
How did a child without parents survive?
Two months ago, he had seen her sallow face, and she was thin as a match, and the clothes she was wearing were obviously not fitting. She must have gone up the mountain to find food because she had no food at home. It was why she was such a money-grubber.
They hadn’t seen her for two months. There were major changes. Her skin had become fairer and healthier, she had grown a lot taller, and she was dressed better. That was probably the result of the money they gave her from the sales of the mushrooms and rabbits. That made her life a little better, and she was more energetic.
Jiang Zhennan had forgotten that he was pitying someone who was not ordinary. She was able to hunt in the mountains and communicate with animals. She could survive without her parents.
Of course, no one realized that Lin Yuelan from two months ago and Lin Yuelan now were two different people. However, people would always find explanations for things.
Guo Bing followed her. His usual cheeky smile was gone. He looked at Lin Yuelan with a sympathetic and pitiful expression and said, “Miss Lin, my condolences!” He didn’t expect Lin Yuelan to have such a sad background.
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes.
Last time, when Liu Jiayin heard that she had no parents, her reaction was to offer Lin Yuelan condolences too. These men also assumed that her parents were dead.
“But Miss Lin, when did your parents pass away?” Two months ago, she was as thin as a piece of wood, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. It was probably because her parents were not around to look after her. They were already filling in the blanks in their minds as to why Lin Yuelan looked so different now compared to back then.
Lin Yuelan said indifferently, “Who told you that they’ve passed away?”
“Ah?” Guo Bing and the others were a little puzzled. Based on what she said, didn’t it mean that her parents had died?
“So, they didn’t pass away?” Little Six was confused, “Then, they are…” It was hard to understand.
“They just don’t want me anymore.” Lin Yuelan said indifferently. Then again, Lin Yuelan didn’t want that pair of useless parents anyway.
Fortunately, the original owner’s parents did not care for her at all. Otherwise, Li Cuihua would definitely make use of them and make them come to her house to threaten her.
Ah?
Guo Bing and the other three were surprised, but Jiang Zhennan felt a kindred feeling. He was also someone who had been abandoned by his biological father since he was young.
Jiang Zhennan said, “It’s their loss for losing you. Don’t be sad.”
Lin Yuelan was a little surprised by Jiang Zhennan’s words.
In Long Yan Country, filial piety was the norm. Parents could torture their children, but the children couldn’t be unfilial. Otherwise, they would be punished by the law. In this country where “filial piety” was the law, a word from one’s parents and a child could be whipped and fined.
However, Jiang Zhennan didn’t care about this law. He was someone who couldn’t give a crap about this law of filial piety.
