Lin Xia called to Lin Chun, “Big brother!
This family can no longer accommodate us!
Let’s leave together!”
Lin Chun tightly embraced the angrily throbbing Lin Aiguo, “If you want to leave then go!
I can’t!” He had to stay to properly console their father.
What if they all left like this, how could they ever come back?
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong looked at each other, with the big brother not leaving, they had to stand by their eldest sister’s side.
Lin Dong took Lin Xia’s hand, “Big sister, we’ll go with you!” This family, void of fairness, filled only with fights and scolding, he truly didn’t want to stay any longer.
Lin Qiu also wiped her tears and echoed, “Yes!
Sister!
We will follow you!”
Since things had escalated to this point, it was impossible for them to back down.
Although she was bewildered about what to do after leaving home, she knew, as long as her elder sister, brother, and younger brother were with her, wherever they went, that place would be home!
“Alright!
Then let’s go!” Lin Xia decisively led Lin Qiu and Lin Dong toward the front door.
Jin Auntie and the others, seeing the situation escalate to this, didn’t even know how to start persuading them.
Lin Aiguo’s eyes bulged, watching his three children turn and leave, he cursed angrily, “If you walk out of this door, don’t ever think of coming back!”
Lin Xia, gripping her sister and brother’s hands, didn’t look back at all.
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong looked back at the people in the yard, then at Lin Aiguo who Lin Chun had let go, and quickly turned their heads not to look at him again.
Qian Chunli and her daughters were shocked at everything unfolding, none of them could have predicted it would end up like this!
But they also felt relieved at the same time, with three gone only one remained, now the home would truly become theirs!
It would be best if once they left, they never came back at all!
Even if Qian Chunli was jubilant inside, she couldn’t show it outwardly; her eyes reddened as she stepped forward a few paces, “Aiguo!
It’s all our fault!
Shall I go and chase them back?
They are just children after all, speaking in the heat of the moment.
It’s already so dark, where will they stay?”
“Let them stay wherever they like, would be good if they froze to death under the open sky!” Lin Aiguo grabbed Lin Chun’s arm, “I’m telling you, Lin Chun!
You’re the eldest!
Don’t be like those pathetic losers!
Hurry up and get inside!
No one is allowed to go out and look for them!”
Lin Chun, worried, watched towards the front gate, but their figures were no longer visible.
Jin Auntie and their neighbors also silently left with Lin Xia and her siblings when they decided to move out.
Lin Xia walked slowly along the main street with Lin Qiu and Lin Dong, having just politely refused Jin Auntie’s offer to stay at her place.
After a silent walk, Lin Qiu softly asked Lin Xia, “Big sister, are we never going back home?”
“We’re not going back!
Tonight we’ll just find a place to make do, and first thing in the morning we will look for a house!”
Lin Xia had already thought it through.
After the injury to Lin Qiu, that home was no place to stay anymore, but she truly hadn’t anticipated that things would escalate to the point of leaving now.
However, this was also good.
If they had continued to stay, not only would they have to humiliate themselves by apologizing, but tomorrow Lin Aiguo would definitely take Lin Qiu to work at the soy sauce factory.
Still, she was a bit worried, unsure if her big brother would be bullied after they left!
But she also understood that her big brother wouldn’t easily leave with them, something she had mentally prepared for beforehand.
“Looking for a house?” Lin Dong’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “Big sister!
Will we finally have our own home?”
Over the years, even in their own house, he never felt a sense of belonging.
He always felt like an outsider, never full from meals and always bullied.
“Yes!” Lin Xia, full of hope for the future, linked arms with her siblings, “Once we settle down, we’ll eventually pull our big brother out too!
Then we’ll live our own peaceful life!”
Later, when she earned money, they could buy good food without having to hide it, and they could speak freely and joyfully.
“Sister!
But where will we get that much money from?” Lin Qiu, more considerate, knew her sister talked about earning money, but was it that easy to earn?
“I have some!” Lin Xia blinked, facing two pairs of eyes suddenly brightening, and added, “But we need to spend it sparingly!”
Both people said in unison, “Definitely!”
While listening to the barking of dogs from nearby houses, Lin Dong looked at the deserted street, leaned closer to Lin Xia, and whispered, “Big sister, how did you earn that money?” Last time, because Lin Yu and Lin Qiang interrupted, his big sister hadn’t told them yet.
Lin Xia put her arm around his shoulder and whispered, “By selling scarves!
Once I’ve settled you all, I’ll go and restock to sell again!”
Lin Dong’s eyes shone with admiration, “Big sister, you’re amazing!” he said, glancing at Lin Qiu who didn’t show much reaction, “Hey, second sister, why aren’t you reacting?
Did you know about this already?”
“Yeah!
Big sister told me before!” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
“No wonder!”
Lin Qiu kicked at the pebbles under her feet, pursed her lips and asked, “Sis, where are we staying tonight?”
Lin Xia looked at Lin Dong, “Dongzi, it’s up to you now.
I remember Haizi’s Western House is empty, right?
Given your relationship with them, do you think his parents would let us stay for the night?”
Lin Dong scratched his head and smiled, “Should be no problem!”
He felt that he had a pretty good relationship with Haizi’s family.
“Then let’s go to Haizi’s house first to check, and if we can’t stay, no worries, we’ll find another place!”
When they arrived at Haizi’s house, his parents did not hesitate at all and warmly ushered them into the Eastern House to stay for a while, one of them even went to tidy up the kang.
Of course, Lin Xia and her siblings couldn’t just watch others do the work, they helped tidy, clean the kang, and lay out the bedding.
Only after Haizi’s family returned to their room did Lin Xia and her siblings feel hungry.
Lin Dong, lying in the bedding doing his homework, rubbed his stomach and said softly, “Big sister, we forgot to get some food!”
Lin Qiu got up to get off the kang, “How about drinking some water?”
Lin Xia said, “Okay, Xiaoqiu, go pour some hot water!”
She discreetly avoided their attention, and from Jade’s room, she managed to get some snacks, pretending to take out a bunch of crispy twists, sugar cubes, and some candied fruits from two pockets at the end of the kang covered with clothes.
Lin Dong and Lin Qiu were both surprised when they saw the snacks in Lin Xia’s hands, “Sister, when did you put those in your pockets?”
“Yeah!”
Lin Xia casually said, “I put them there this afternoon, I didn’t take all the candied fruits out at the time, I kept some…”
“Let’s eat!
Just a bite will tide us over until morning light, and then we can buy something to eat if we want.”
Lin Dong chewed on the crispy twist, “Mmm, delicious!”
“Sister, you eat too!” Lin Qiu opened a sugar cube and stuffed it into Lin Xia’s mouth.
…
Meanwhile, Lin Chun, having eaten the dinner prepared by Qian Chunli in the Eastern House, returned alone to the Western House.
The sounds of conversation from the Eastern House faintly reached him, making the home without his siblings feel all the more empty.
He worried about where his eldest sister could have taken the other two so late, but his father had just sternly warned him at dinner not to go looking for them.
If he found out, he wouldn’t be allowed to return either.
He kept thinking of all the places his eldest sister might have gone, feeling that maybe they were staying at his aunt’s house, as both families were really close relatives and lived nearby.
