After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 361 The Educated Youth Compromising with Reality (24)
That's a lot of grain! It's all Lin's mother's precious food, something she painstakingly obtained from the black market.
She invested most of her salary and savings in it.
In the past, Lin's mother would never have been willing to spend so much money to buy food to keep at home.
But there was a famine just two years ago, and she almost starved to death. She developed a chronic illness from it, and now nothing is more important to her than food.
Lin's mother felt that saving more money was useless, because when famine struck, money couldn't buy food.
So now, compared to her savings, those grains are her lifeline.
Thinking that Old Lin was a teacher and must have connections, Lin's mother said, "Old Lin, why don't you try to find out who stole our grain?"
So much grain just vanished into thin air, how could she accept that?
It's a pity that Lin's mother thought too highly of her husband!
With Lin's father's self-important attitude, how could he possibly be popular at school?
It's already good enough if you don't offend anyone, so what good connections can come knocking on your door?
When Lin's father thought about his image at school, he wondered how someone like him could possibly ask someone for help in person.
That would be lowering one's status!
Thinking of this, Lin's father impatiently shouted, "Ask for help? Do I look like the kind of person who would ask for help?"
“I have lived an upright life and have never made any mistakes. I will never ask anyone for help. If I were to ask, wouldn’t that be letting others trample on my dignity?”
Seeing her angry husband and recalling his usual behavior, Lin's mother didn't care about saving face for him and directly exposed his true colors.
Lin's mother chuckled, her eyes reddening with anger: "Upright and honest? You really know how to flatter yourself! Last month, when Director Wang's son got married, you were the only one in the entire grade who didn't give a gift, and you even said in front of them that 'vulgar social interactions tarnish the purity of academia,' and now you know you have a sense of shame?"
Lin's mother, who used to prioritize the three men in the family, is now showing no respect for her husband because of the grain.
Everyone has their own bottom line. Yueyao used to think that the three men in the family would be Lin's mother's bottom line.
However, if Yueyao saw Lin's mother throwing a tantrum like this, she would probably have to change her opinion of her.
Lin's mother thought about all the sacrifices she had made for her family over the years, and how the men in the family not only failed to understand but also cared only about their so-called scholarly dignity at crucial moments.
Normally, Lin's mother might have given her husband some face and said a few words but let it go.
But this is food! It's food that can save lives!
When she almost starved to death, she secretly vowed that she would store up lots and lots of food so that her family could have enough to eat.
But what she cared about most was actually less important than Lin's father's arrogance that didn't care about money?
Lin's mother couldn't stand it anymore.
So she continued pointing at Lin's father and cursing, "You're so high and mighty, so high and mighty that you're always being trampled underfoot when it comes to promotions, so high and mighty that your son can't get into university and now he's been assigned the worst job with no one to help him!"
She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it with a "whoosh." The teacup grazed Lin's father's face and flew out, landing on the ground with a "thud."
"You think you're showing backbone by not bowing your head? You're just stupid! Teacher Li wanted to transfer her child to your school, and she managed to win over the head of the teaching department with just a few words, and it was all done the next day. And what about you?"
Lin's mother grabbed the water glass on the table and slammed it down on the coffee table with a "bang," causing Lin's father to take a half step back in fright.
"You care about your reputation? I think you're just suffering for the sake of saving face!"
“If you had been able to put aside your aloof and superior scholarly airs and show some concern back then, our son would have had the opportunity to get into a better factory, instead of being stuck in that small, dusty cloth factory all day long.”
“Your arrogant attitude is ruining our son’s future, and you’re still putting on airs! No matter what, if you don’t go find someone this time, you have to compensate me for the grain.”
Seeing Lin's mother going crazy, Lin's father was like a mouse whose disguise had been exposed, coldly calling out the name that Lin's mother used to hate the most.
"Chen Zhaodi, don't push your luck! Don't you know who's in charge in the Lin family? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"
The name "Chen Zhaodi" was like a tight band around her neck. When she heard her father call her by her old name, all of her courage deflated like a punctured balloon.
Chen Zhaodi? Chen Zhaodi? Heh, even if she changes her name to Chen Zhaozhao, she still can't escape the shackles of "Chen Zhaodi".
Certain memories seemed to tangibly enter her mind, instantly calming Lin's mother, who was going crazy.
The Lin family, including the eldest brother and his wife, and their younger brother, who were originally in the room, hid in their room like ostriches, afraid to come out, after hearing their parents arguing in the living room.
Sister-in-law Lin leaned close to Brother Lin's ear and asked curiously, "Your dad won't hit your mom, will he?"
Brother Lin glared at Sister-in-law Lin, who then timidly explained in a low voice, "I just asked because Dad seemed really angry this time."
Looking at his wife, Brother Lin didn't seem to want to see his parents make a fool of themselves.
He turned to his wife and said, "My dad wouldn't hit anyone; at most, he'd just stand by and watch. He's an educated man; he'd never stoop to physical violence."
But over the years, he had never seen his parents argue. Apart from his mother often scolding Lin Yueyao, their family had always been quite harmonious.
Whenever her parents had a conflict, it was always Lin's mother who apologized first.
So he was a little surprised when Lin's mother lost her temper this time.
He was surprised that his mother would also lose her temper with his father.
He knew his mother favored boys over girls, but as a beneficiary of the system, Brother Lin always remained silent when he saw his sister being bullied at home.
The Lin family finally called the police because when they went to get money to buy food, they discovered that all their money had disappeared.
All of their family's savings were gone.
After reporting the theft to the police, Lin's mother kept telling the police that it was her daughter who had gone to the countryside who stole it, and that it must have been her.
Otherwise, how could the Lin family have been robbed so soon after she left? What a coincidence!
The more Lin's mother talked, the more convinced she became that Lin Yueyao had stolen it.
But on the day Lin Yueyao left the Lin family home, all her luggage and backpack were packed by her own eyes, and the neighbors could all testify that it was absolutely impossible for Lin Yueyao to have stolen them!
Although no one believed her, Lin's mother still thought in her heart that it was that little brat Lin Yueyao who stole it.
Don't let that girl's quiet demeanor at home fool you; she's actually quite shrewd!
Moreover, as soon as she left home, the family's food and savings disappeared. Who else could it be but her?
