Lin Xia dabbed the corners of her eyes, “Big Brother!
What is there for us to worry about!
We will be just fine here waiting for your return!
If you get a formal job there and secure a foothold, wouldn’t it be even better for us to join you later and leave this place behind?”
Lin Dong quickly agreed, “Yes, Big Brother!
Go ahead! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
I’m old enough now, I’ll take good care of Big Sister and Second Sister!”
He wasn’t young anymore, and if Big Brother left, he would be the man of the house.
“Big Brother!
You should go!
Aunt Jin’s security guard is going too, so you’ll have company there!
Lin Qiu was very excited; she especially hoped that her Big Brother could grow into a man who stands tall and proud, not the easily bullied person he is now.
Lin Chun wiped away her tears and took a moment to breathe before saying, “I’m just really worried about you three!
For now, Lin Qiang and the others can’t find a place to stay, but what about in the long run?
If Dongzi isn’t home, and it’s just the two of you girls…” Lin Chun was particularly worried.
Seeing Lin Chun express these thoughts seemed to put Lin Xia at ease.
She cheerfully said, “Actually, we won’t be staying here for too long either!”
The three of them looked at Lin Xia in unison, not understanding what she meant by that.
Lin Xia explained, “Big Brother!
There were some plans I hadn’t shared with you before!
I was thinking, if Dongzi gets into the city high school next year, then we’ll move somewhere close to his school.
In this way, on one hand, we can take good care of Dongzi and, on the other hand, stay far away from those people!”
Those people weren’t worth fearing, but they were as annoying as buzzing flies.
Actually, she had thought about finding a way for Lin Dong to transfer schools.
But now, the first semester of ninth grade had already started, and after the new year, there would only be one semester left before the middle school examination.
If he switched to a new environment and couldn’t adjust to everything, wouldn’t that be sabotaging him?
None of them had expected Lin Xia to have such a plan.
Lin Dong was so excited his face turned bright red; it would be great if they really could move to the city.
Some of Lin Chun’s concerns dissipated, “If that’s the case, then it’s okay, being far away would mean they can’t always be plotting against us!”
“Exactly!
So Big Brother, go ahead and do what you need to do, don’t miss out because of us!
If you pass up this opportunity, who knows if there will be another chance!”
But Lin Chun then thought about something, “However, what about Xiaoqiu’s job?
Moving there, it wouldn’t be convenient for work either!”
Xiaoqiu was excited, but she also thought about her job at the garment factory, “Yeah!
Sister!
If we really go to the city, what about my job at the garment factory?”
“We’ll see when the time comes!
If it really doesn’t work out, then just leave the job.
I’ve been thinking about getting you to learn more skills, so you can open your own tailor shop or something in the future!” Lin Xia shared her plan.
For the next few years, tailor shops and clothing stores would have good business prospects.
Once they stopped making clothes, they could do something else just the same.
“Besides, with the trading I’m doing now, I can earn most of a month’s salary in just a few days, so it doesn’t matter whether I go to that job or not!”
Lin Chun didn’t quite agree, “Xiaoxia, I think you and Xiaoqiu would be better off just sticking with your jobs.
You see how tiring it is to keep flitting about like this?
It’s so unstable!
Where’s the security in that, compared to just working a steady job and collecting a paycheck every day!”
“Big brother!
We’re only just discussing this plan right now.
Who knows what could change in the meantime!” Lin Xia knew it would be impossible to convince her eldest brother right away.
But her thought was to placate him for now and, if he really did go out of town, they’d be out of his reach.
Then, no matter what they wanted to do, he wouldn’t be able to interfere!
Lin Chun silently nodded, fumbled with his hands, and stepped down to put on his shoes and go to the bathroom.
Once Lin Xia heard the sound of the door closing, she quickly turned to Lin Dong and said, “Dongzi, can we move really far away?
It all depends on you now!”
Lin Dong immediately clenched his fist with determination, “Big sister, second sister!
Don’t worry, I will study even harder in the future.
Next year, when I take the high school entrance exam, I will definitely get into the city high school!”
Lin Xia’s words gave Lin Dong a new kind of motivation.
He knew how high their expectations were, so he never slacked off in his studies.
But now, there was another reason to push himself even harder—to help his sisters leave this place.
Otherwise, he would feel like he had let his brothers and sisters down!
When Lin Chun returned, Lin Xia shared her plan with him: neither she nor Lin Chun would go to work in the next couple of days, and Lin Dong would also stop going to school starting tomorrow.
Because Lin Aiguo was relentless and would surely go to those places looking for them, they might as well just spend a couple of days at home.
Lin Chun still felt uneasy, “Will that really be okay?”
Lin Xia dismissed his concerns, “What’s wrong with that!
Big brother!
If you think it’s not okay, then I’ll just go to work as usual tomorrow.
You’ll see if he makes a scene at our workplace or not.
In front of outsiders, even if we’re in the right, can we really go against our own father?
So, it’s better not to see him and let him fret over finding us himself!”
She was one hundred percent sure that Lin Aiguo would definitely go to their workplaces and the school to look for them, and if these family matters were brought up outside, even if people thought they were right, they would usually advise them to apologize and return home with Lin Aiguo.
Why should she give him that chance?
Lin Chun knew Lin Xia was making sense, and he didn’t raise any further objections.
But he was worried about the many difficulties ahead if he were to leave, “But even if I go, I can’t do it without Dad’s approval!”
“No worries!
Big brother!
When it’s time, you just sign up as planned, and I’ll figure out the rest!” She had already thought of a strategy, but her big brother hadn’t hinted at such intentions, so she hadn’t shared it before.
The siblings talked late into the night before going to sleep, all feeling as if the fog had lifted from their future, each having found a direction for which they were willing to strive and fight.
Lin Aiguo did exactly as Lin Xia expected; he sent Lin Qiang to Lin Dong’s school to wait for him and track him, so that he could find out where they all lived.
Meanwhile, he first went to Lin Xia’s workplace.
When Yu Hongmei heard someone was looking for Lin Xia, and that Lin Xia wasn’t at work today, she rushed out of the workshop, and upon seeing that it was her uncle who came looking for Lin Xia, hesitated briefly before approaching him.
“Uncle!
What brings you here?”
Lin Aiguo, facing his niece, still managed a decent expression, “I’m looking for Lin Xia!
Why isn’t she out here?”
“Uncle!
She didn’t come to work today!”
“Really?
You’re not lying to me, are you?” Lin Aiguo was somewhat incredulous.
“Why would I lie to you?
If you don’t believe me, you can ask our supervisor!”
Lin Aiguo stomped his foot in anger, cursing inwardly that the rascal was surely doing this on purpose!
Seeing Lin Aiguo’s displeased face, Yu Hongmei thought for a moment and then advised him, “Uncle!
Lin Xia and the others are all grown up now; sometimes you shouldn’t be too biased.
When you see her, don’t rush to anger.
Can’t you just talk things out properly?”
