"If it weren't for your gambling father, you two would have starved to death long ago!" Lin's mother roared, looking at her son and daughter with disappointment. "Lin Feng doesn't owe you anything; you owe Lin Feng."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking! How could we owe Lin Feng? If you hadn't picked him up, he would have died long ago," Lin Yu disagreed, looking at his mother. "He's the one who owes us."
"Dad said that what he gives our family is his due! Our family saved his life," Lin Yu added.
Lin's mother looked at her own children. The mention of that man made her tremble with anger. "Your father, your father, you always talk about your father, but did he ever feed you even one bite!"
"Mom! Why do you look down on my dad so much? What's wrong with my dad! He just likes to gamble a little, it's not like the family is short on money!" Lin Xing and Lin Yu looked at Lin's mother indignantly.
Hearing their words, Lin's mother gritted her teeth and turned back to her room.
Lin Yu and Lin Xing watched Lin's mother return to her room, feeling smug rather than worried, believing Lin's mother had realized she was wrong and had fled.
"Second brother, can you go ask sister-in-law for two pieces of clothing for me?" Lin Xing asked Lin Yu expectantly.
"It's just two pieces of clothing, no problem," Lin Yu patted his chest, entrusting the task to himself.
"Second brother is the best to me," Lin Xing smiled.
At this moment, Lin's father strolled home leisurely. Seeing Lin Yu and Lin Xing, he threw the leftover takeout food he was holding to them. "Here, eat this. Your dad specially brought it back for you."
"Dad is the best to us!" Lin Yu and Lin Xing's eyes lit up. They opened the food container and saw half a lion's head, a truly hearty dish.
Lin's father smiled proudly. "Where's your mom?"
"Mom went back to her room. Dad, tell Mom off! I just wanted sister-in-law to give me two pieces of clothing, and Mom actually scolded me, saying Big Brother doesn't owe us anything!" Lin Xing couldn't help but complain to Lin's father.
"Don't listen to your mom, she's an idiot! We've raised Lin Feng for so many years; it's only right that he supports us! How could the food we've provided him over the years be repaid with just a little bit," Lin's father waved his hand, believing Lin Feng owed them a life that couldn't be easily repaid.
With Lin Feng around, their family would have an endless supply of money. Only Lin's mother, that fool, would think Lin Feng didn't owe them.
What a stupid woman he couldn't reason with! Why did he marry such a person, so utterly foolish.
"Exactly, Dad is right," Lin Yu agreed, his mouth full of lion's head.
Lin's father ruffled his son's hair and smiled proudly.
After finishing the lion's head, Lin Yu casually wiped his mouth and said to Lin Xing, "Wait here, your brother will go get you clothes."
"Mm." Lin Xing's eyes sparkled. Her brother would definitely come back with something, and she was eagerly awaiting Lin Yu's triumphant return.
Lin Yu plucked a blade of wild grass and picked his teeth, heading towards the old house allocated to Lin Feng. Villagers passing by Lin Yu's shiftless demeanor shook their heads in disdain.
Lin Feng was a good person, but the Lin family, with their muddled minds, learned nothing worthwhile from their good-for-nothing father, spending their days idly.
Fu Wenwen was at home tidying her clothes. They were all good clothes her parents had bought for her, some even custom-made by her maternal grandmother. They were fine clothes, but it was a pity the original owner hadn't cherished them, and Su Xiaoxiao had worn them a few times. Fu Wenwen found them utterly repulsive.
