Chapter 205: Chapter 204 Venting

At this moment in the Lin Family home, though it was deep into the night, the lights were still on.

Lin Aiguo’s face was haggard and his eyes sunken. He sat solemnly on the edge of the kang bed, puffing on a large tobacco pipe.

In the room, aside from Qian Chunli and her daughter obediently sitting with bowed heads on the north kang, Lin Aijia was also present.

Lin Aijia sat at the edge of the south kang, looking at her eldest brother with distressed eyes, "Big brother, you should rest! Tomorrow I’ll go with you again to find her! She must not be let off lightly! With my testimony, even if she wants to put you back in there, it’s impossible!"

She thought to herself, what on earth had Lin Xia become?

To be so ruthless towards her own father! To actually do something like sending him to a mental institution, she’s truly become as overbearing as a beast!

When Lin Aijia mentioned that place, Lin Aiguo’s eyes momentarily shrank.

"Okay! Aijia, you should go back to rest early too! We’ll go together again tomorrow!"

Lin Aiguo’s voice was hoarse. Not only had he suffered in that place, but also, the frustration pent up inside him was making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After being taken care of and gradually calming down, he told them to call his workplace to verify that he definitely did not have a mental illness.

It was only after the hospital staff had conducted their investigation and confirmed his condition that they notified the Lin family to come and fetch him.

But now, his reputation was completely ruined!

Probably everyone in his workplace knew by now that his own daughter had had him sent to a mental institution, right?

How could he face going to work after this?

After getting out, he wished he could have killed Lin Xia on the spot!

But when he, disregarding his physical weakness and with rage burning within him, went to that large greenhouse, he didn’t even catch a glimpse of anyone.

It wasn’t just Lin Xia who was missing; that man hadn’t set up his stall either.

He asked the surrounding stallholders, but nobody knew where they lived.

But he didn’t believe that they would never set up their stall again. Once he found traces of her, he was determined to kill her!

Lin Aijia stood up, "Good! Big brother, try not to think too much and rest early!"

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu escorted Lin Aijia to the main gate together.

Lin Aijia had a lot of issues with Qian Chunli and her daughter, not speaking a single word to them before she left.

When they locked the main gate, Lin Yu whispered, "Mom, he’s definitely going to take his anger out on us, isn’t he?"

She was truly frightened!

She and her mother had seen Lin Aiguo the day they returned, thinking he had gone to someone else’s house.

But when he didn’t come back even as dawn broke, they both felt something was wrong, yet they didn’t know where to look for him.

It was only when Lin Aijia hurriedly came from the workplace to their home that they learned Lin Aiguo had been put into a mental hospital by Lin Xia, and they rushed to pick him up together.

The thought of that gloomy place sent shivers of fear through her!

Lin Xia was too cruel; what if she sent her there next time? That place was a hundred times worse than a detention center!

"Don’t be afraid! Your mom is here!" Qian Chunli hugged Lin Yu’s shoulders and whispered, "Xiaoyu, I also see it clearly now. Lin Xia is extremely malicious. When Qiangzi gets out, we better stay away; let Lin Aiguo deal with her! He definitely won’t let her get away with it!"

Qian Chunli was thoroughly shocked by the malice in one’s heart to send their own father to such a place.

After all this, would Lin Xia continue to dote on them?

Poor Qiangzi was still suffering in the detention center, but compared to the mental hospital, it was better.

That was the only comfort she could give herself.

So, in the future, it would be better for them to stay aside and watch the drama unfold, watching father and daughter torment each other to death! Wouldn’t it be better to have one less of them to deal with!

The two obediently entered the room, and Lin Aiguo, with his eyelids drooping, glared at Qian Chunli and said hatefully, "Go to sleep!"

In the dead of night, he wanted to settle scores with Qian Chunli, this damned woman, and it didn’t necessarily have to involve beating or scolding; he had plenty of ways to deal with her!

Lin Yu timidly and quickly climbed onto the northern kang, hurriedly spreading out the bedding and lying down.

Qian Chunli also got onto the kang to spread the blankets, knowing full well that Lin Aiguo was angry with her.

Once the lights were out and it was time to sleep, Lin Aiguo didn’t care that Lin Yu, who hadn’t fallen asleep on the northern kang, was there, and he tormented Qian Chunli ruthlessly, as if only by doing so could he vent some of his anger.

At first, Qian Chunli could endure the pain by gritting her teeth, but later, it became unbearable, and through her tears, she couldn’t help but make a sound.

Lin Yu kept her ears covered quietly the whole time, with tears continuously streaming from her tightly shut eyes.

In her heart, she bitterly thought that it was all because of Lin Xia! All because of her!

If it weren’t for her, they would all be living well.

Yet, she didn’t consider that if they hadn’t repeatedly caused trouble and stirred things up, maybe everything would have remained peaceful without any issues arising.

Lin Xia, who was the object of their hatred, had no idea what was happening at the Lin Family home; she and Jiang Mingyuan had endured an entire night on the train and disembarked in the morning.

The two of them went straight to Lin Xia’s home, where Lin Qiu was relieved to see that despite being travel-weary, they both seemed energetic.

"Sister! Brother! Wash your hands and come eat!"

Knowing that her sister and brother were coming home this morning, Lin Qiu had specially prepared meat-filled buns and rice porridge and stir-fried a few dishes.

"Alright!" Lin Xia saw that Lin Qiu’s eyes were somewhat red, though her complexion was not bad.

She had been worried about home all along, afraid that Lin Qiu might run into trouble by herself at home. Now, seeing her like this, she too felt relieved.

Lin Xia teased her, "Xiaoqiu! Did you cry from fear because you were home alone?"

"Sister! I did not!" Lin Qiu, feeling embarrassed, went into the kitchen. She hadn’t been afraid while she was home by herself, but she had been feeling uneasy ever since the day she disappointed her sister.

Her sister was so good to all of them, as if she would give them her very heart if she could.

If her dad was going to make a scene at the stall, then her sister couldn’t just do nothing and let him bully her, could she?

So, although she thought at first that sending him to the psychiatric hospital was a bit harsh, upon reflection, what else could have been done?

Jiang Mingyuan, washing his hands, watched the two of them laugh. The sisterly bond between Lin Xia and Lin Qiu was really strong, unlike his own relationship with his brothers and a sister who was wilful.

The three of them sat down for breakfast together. In front of the brother, Lin Qiu, with no embarrassment, said, "Sister! It was my fault the other day! I shouldn’t have said you were going too far!"

Lin Xia smiled, "Xiaoqiu! It’s been several days; why bring up those things? What you said wasn’t wrong; let’s not mention it anymore!"

Lin Qiu was inherently a kind-hearted and generous child; her comments were understandable.

"Alright!" Seeing that Lin Xia truly didn’t mind, Lin Qiu also felt relieved and eagerly urged Jiang Mingyuan, "Brother! Taste my cooking! How is it?"

Jiang Mingyuan could tell that Lin Qiu probably made those comments because Lin Aiguo had been sent to the psychiatric hospital.

He smiled as he took a bite of the stir-fried cucumber with pork, nodding in praise, "Delicious!"

Lin Qiu smiled happily, "Brother! If it’s delicious, eat more!" She began to eat quickly; there was still a lot of work waiting for her at her master’s place.

Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan were in no hurry and ate slowly.

Only after Lin Qiu had left did Jiang Mingyuan say, "Lin Xia! I don’t think we should go to the stall today. Let’s just rest for the day and go out tomorrow."

He figured those people would surely come looking for trouble.

With him around, he naturally wouldn’t let Lin Xia be wronged, but after staying up all night on the train, why rush to confront them when he was both tired and sleepy?

Better to let those people fret.

"Okay!" Lin Xia understood his meaning. Without a doubt, she knew the first thing Lin Aiguo would do after getting out was to come after her to settle scores. She might as well rest up before going head-to-head with them!
