Chapter 267 - Do You Think You Are Innocent?
Unlike her siblings, Lin Yi was narrow-minded and selfish. Because she was born in a family with so many children she had the mentality of either snatching the thing away or creating a ruckus to get it.
That was what she told herself, in her mind all her actions were justified and right. However, in reality, the truth was something else - Lin Yi\' actions were not because she wanted to survive and snatch the portion that belonged to her but because she was selfish enough to want them. It wasn\'t her fault alone though, the Lin family was used to giving in too, they treated Lin Yi who was nothing but a selfish brat like an ancestor and fulfilled her every wish to the best of their abilities.
This led to this incident happening, if they taught her better and made her accept the word \' no \' then maybe this day wouldn\'t have happened, but it was too late to regret it. What happened has already happened there was no way for anyone to undo it.
"So what? So what if I wanted those things? I - I was doing what anyone would have done " said Lin Yi, she never expected Lin Yu to question her, nor did she expect him to remember these things that happened in the past.? She felt that it was only natural for her to \'fight \' for her rights, but when she saw the disapproval in Su Wan\'s gaze she was stunned. Her face flushed and she couldn\'t help but glare at Lin Yu in resentment " I was born as the third child in this family, with two elder siblings and five younger siblings, if I didn\'t fight for my portion I would have never gotten a chance to eat my fill. And if you want to resent anyone for that then resent our parents! They had the ability to give birth to so many kids but didn\'t have the ability to raise them, was I born selfish no! Look at our father he gave birth to eight kids and then ran away to God knows where, we all thought he was dead but he was alive and well! He didn\'t even care that his disappearance caused so much trouble to us. Should I not demand some compensation in exchange for my sufferings? Even now I can\'t raise my head in front of my in-laws because of the measly dowry mother gave me. The situation of our family made me selfish, I wanted to have a full stomach and everything that other kids our age had, why are you despising me for that? It\'s not my fault, it\'s our parent\'s fault! It\'s our grandmother\'s fault,!"
Father Lin who has just walked out of his room and rushed to the shed to check whether or not Lin Yi was alright was shell shocked at her words. It was true that he was guilty of not giving his children the life they deserved, he was guilty of not giving his wife the comfort she had the right to enjoy but he wasn\'t guilty of mistreating Lin Yi! Heaven was his witness, he might be guilty to his other kids but he wasn\'t guilty of not giving? Lin Yi a proper life, compared to his other children he was used to pampering her because she cried the most. Father Lin couldn\'t bear to see her cry and gave in to her whims.
He thought that even if his kids grew up to dislike him, Lin Yi wouldn\'t but the reality was - haha.
Not only did Lin Yi resented him, but she also despised him. Heh, then what was he doing here? Father Lin cast a long, forlorn glance at Lin Yi then turned around to head back to his room. Since he was so useless in her eyes, then he might as well stay useless till the end! Didn\'t she take him for dead? then he might as well die for her. From now on there was no second daughter for him.
Lin Yu looked at her twisted face filled with resentment and sneered " then by this lo..logic you shouldn\'t have c..come here to ask for monetary benefits for ch..children either, since you had the ability to give birth to those three kids then you might as well raise them on your own !"
" How is that the same thing ?" Lin Yi couldn\'t help but blurt out, she never thought that Lin Yu would change the track of their conversation and twist her words to his advantage.
" How isn\'t it the same? Tho..those th..three kids came from your wo..womb, right? So you should be the one taking care of them, why did you come running here to ask for be…benefits? Raise those brats? by yo..yourself !" snarled Lin Yu, he understood his second sister well enough to know why she came here
" They are your nephews and niece !" Lin Yi might not be nice to her family but she doted on her kids a lot, when she heard Lin Yu calling her kids brats she couldn\'t bear to see her kids being called names and being looked down upon " how can you say such a thing? You are their uncle! Shouldn\'t you dote on them? Why are you trying to draw a line between them and our family? "
" Hah, you make it s..sound so nice. Do you mean to say that when you want to take ad..advantage of us then we became your family right but when we need your help we are complete s…strangers to you and your family? "
" what are you talking about? When have I done that? Don\'t talk nonsense, and accuse me of things I never did! I\'m completely innocent here !"
At these words Lin Yu tightened his hold on Lin Yi\'s neck and slammed her head right on the wall of the shed, and sneered coldly " is that so? Do you think you are innocent just be..because you said so? Have you for…forgotten what you did to third brother and second brother? Have you for...forgotten why second brother took the oath to never step in your village and to never se… see your face? "
