The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

During dinner that evening, Jiang Yuyan appeared before everyone with dark circles under her eyes.

Jiang Muyi: "You... went to steal?"

Jiang Muren: "Little sister, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Muxuan pulled out a stool. "Little sister, sit here."

Mrs. You pulled her to sit down and touched her forehead with concern, only feeling relieved when she found she didn't have a fever.

Place the bowl and chopsticks in front of her and let her eat slowly.

Master Qi looked up, saw her pale face, and frowned. "Have you been staying up all night again doing something weird?"

Jiang Yuyan swallowed a mouthful of rice, shook her head, and said, "No, I just had a nightmare and woke up scared. It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Seriously, how old are you, still getting scared by nightmares—"

Before Master Qi could finish speaking, Madam You slapped his hand, telling him to shut up.

Jiang Yuyan laughed, "Master, don't forget, you stayed up for three days and three nights before, and you screamed as soon as you fell asleep. You were even more miserable than me, hahaha."

"You little rascal—"

Master Qi was cursing, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked like he was in a very good mood.

No one noticed that Jiang Yuyan's brows furrowed slightly amidst her smile, but she quickly regained her usual expression.

For several consecutive days,

Jiang Yuyan spent the morning at home with Jiang Muxuan during his rehabilitation, while Jiang Muyi continued to go out to the park to sell clothes, and the number of orders he brought back was increasing.

Jiang Muren then hired someone to clean up the shop and strictly supervised the workers to ensure that the changes were made according to his younger sister's design drawings.

Jiang Yuyan was having a relatively happy time, while someone else was living in constant fear and almost broke down.

"Mom, please get me out of here! I really know I was wrong. I... I'll never do it again. Please, let my older brother get me out of here—"

Lin Yue pounded on the barrier with a ferocious expression, desperately pleading with her mother, who had come to the police station to see her.

Seeing her daughter so disheveled in just a few days, Lin's mother was heartbroken.

"Yue'er, please bear with it for now. Your situation hasn't been investigated yet, so we can't take you out."

Lin Yue instantly flew into a rage. "Don't you want to save me? Don't you? Did Lin Shiping forbid you from saving me? Huh?"

"Yue'er, don't talk about your older brother like that, he, he—"

Mentioning her son, Lin's mother felt a pang of pain in her heart. If it weren't for her daughter, her son might not have had this accident.

Lin Yue was completely oblivious to her mother's emotions, only wanting to vent her fear and anger.

"Lin Shiping just doesn't love me. He only loves Jiang Yuyan. I'm clearly his own sister, but since he came back, has he even given me a second glance?"

"If it weren't for Jiang Yuyan, how could I have done such a thing? It was all Jiang Yuyan and the others who forced me to do this. If it weren't for her, if it weren't for Lin Shiping, how could I have done this?"

Lin's mother stared in shock at her daughter, who seemed like a completely different person. "Yue'er, what did you say? You said you did this because of Jiang Yuyan? What does this have to do with her? How do you know Jiang Yuyan?"

Mingming Yue'er and Jiang Yuyan have never met, so how could she be talking about Jiang Yuyan?

For a moment, Lin Yue's ferocious expression froze, but she quickly regained her composure, her resentful gaze fixed on her mother.

"Mom, you don't know, do you? Jiang Yuyan came to Beijing a long time ago. Lin Shiping knew about this all along, but he just didn't tell you and Dad. Hahaha, he even called Ling Wenchen to help her for Jiang Yuyan's sake."

"A pair of scumbags, they both deserve to die, they both deserve to die. Why did Jiang Yuyan have to appear in front of me? If it weren't for her, I would have already—" married Jiang Yuyan's backer from her previous life.

Unfortunately, all of this was ruined when her affair was discovered.

Lin Yue was filled with hatred. She resented the injustice of the world. She had been given a second chance at life, and she was supposed to be the true goddess of this world, the ruler of this world.

Why not let her have everything she wants?

Why?

Lin Yue, consumed by anger, failed to notice that her mother, who had always doted on her, wore a strange expression, as if she were meeting her for the first time.

When Lin's mother came out of the police station, she still looked dazed.

The image of Lin Yue's ferocious roar kept replaying in her mind. Suddenly, Lin's mother remembered something someone had once told her.

"...Lin Yue's personality is just like yours, selfish and self-serving, living only for her own benefit and completely disregarding the lives of others."

Then she thought of the day her son was taken away, when he looked at her with disappointment for the first time, as if the belief he had always held onto had finally been shattered.

Even now, whenever Lin's mother recalls the memory, she feels short of breath and a chill runs through her.

When Mr. Lin came home from get off work, he found the house dark. He turned on the light and found Mrs. Lin sitting blankly on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought. She hadn't even noticed him coming home.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked cautiously.

He had never seen his wife look like this before—how to describe it, it seemed like sadness, but not quite.

"...I went to see Lin Yue today. She scolded me for not saving her, and for saying that Shi Ping didn't love her and only liked Jiang Yuyan...I don't like Jiang Yuyan either, I just don't like her. If it weren't for her, my daughter—"

Lin's father frowned. "What are you trying to say now? Are you trying to say that if it weren't for Jiang Yuyan, Lin Yue wouldn't have had such a hard life? Then why don't you say that if it weren't for you, Jiang Yuyan wouldn't have had to suffer on the farm with us at such a young age?"

Farms, farms in those days, to put it bluntly, were places that took lives and devoured people.

Jiang Yuyan was taken to the Lin family shortly after birth, and the Lin family was reported and sent to a farm for reform.

Even adults can't stand a farm, let alone a baby less than a month old.

Lin's mother, tears streaming down her face, said, "You blame me too? Now you blame me for doing this, don't you? How dare you blame me? If it weren't for me, our daughter would be the one suffering. Do you think I wanted to do that?"

Lin's father's heart softened immediately. He stepped forward, hugged her, and patted her back to comfort her.

"Okay, okay, I misspoke. Didn't we agree not to mention this again? Why are you bringing it up again today?"

Lin's mother pushed him away. "I saw Jiang Yuyan today. She came to Beijing." Thinking of Lin Yue's words, "Shiping knew about this a long time ago, but he never told us. Why?"

Does Lin Shiping see his mother as a madwoman who goes crazy whenever she sees Jiang Yuyan?

Mr. Lin was surprised. "Jiang Yuyan came to Beijing? What's she doing in Beijing? Is she not used to life in the countryside and wants to come back?"

Lin's mother rolled her eyes at him. "You wish! You don't know, she's supported by a man now. She said she couldn't even beg from us. I give her money, and she even gives me a few dollars in return."

"You still want her back? Is it not enough that one daughter is in jail? Do you want another one to go in?"

Mr. Lin frowned. "How did Jiang Yuyan's personality change like this? It hasn't been long, and she's already fallen so low?"
