When Lin Qingyin’s Mother heard those words, her heart beat faster. She couldn’t think of anyone who will pick up her daughter. The Lin Family stopped contacting for many years now. Her natal family was good to Lin Qingyin, but their family was not wealthy, and no one has such a stylish car.
Seeing Aunt Wang’s inquiring expression, Lin Qingyin’s Mother reluctantly smiled: “Maybe it’s a school teacher. Looking at it, the school is about to start. Maybe the teacher came to pick her up to make up lessons.”
Aunt Wang was not convinced by this explanation. She looked at Lin Qingyin’s Mother with some suspicion: “Your daughter’s school actually sent a car to pick up the students? I saw the three people looking at her respectfully.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother sternly replied: “Qingyin is under the school scholarship in the end. It’s only normal for the teacher to pay more attention to her.”
Aunt Wang suddenly remembered that Lin Qingyin was the city’s Top 1 in the senior high school entrance examination last year. And so, she felt a little bored. People actually went to school, which made her lost interest.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother watched Aunt Wang put her hands on her back and walked away. She sighed in exhaustion. She was glad that she had concealed Lin Qingyin’s suicide attempt. Otherwise, these aunts will keep talking about her daughter.
However, thinking of what Aunt Wang just said about Lin Qingyin being picked up by a car early in the morning, she still felt a little worried. She knew the conditions of their family was difficult. Their family was too poor that she was worried that Lin Qingyin would be cheated by others.
Girls nowadays pay attention to wealth, food, and good clothing. They also wanted to travel to see the world. But in recent years, in order to pay off the debts, their family barely have enough food and clothing. And in order to make more money, the husband and wife didn’t even have time to accompany their daughter. Otherwise, Lin Qingyin would not be bullied in the school to the point that she would think of jumping in the river. They only learned what happened to her when she already committed suicide.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother returned home with great anxiety, but when she saw Lin Qingyin’s sandals at the door, she felt relieved. She tiptoed to Lin Qingyin’s room and looked inside. She saw Lin Qingyin sitting cross-legged on the bed and reading a book.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother hesitated and decided not to ask about this matter first. After all, she heard about it from Aunt Wang only for two times. It too disrespectful to ask the child rashly, so she should figure out what’s going on first.
Although she made up her mind, Lin Qingyin’s Mother was still a little distracted when she was cooking. When Lin Qingyin came out of the room after reading the history book, what she saw was the smoking kitchen and the black pot.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother, who was working hard to destroy the evidence in her body, rubbed the ashes on her hands in embarrassment: “Should we eat noodles tonight?”
Lin Qingyin was very grateful at this time. Fortunately, she didn’t feel hungry now after eating a lot at noon. Otherwise, she would eat those deadly boiled noodles again.
After taking out the ice cream from the refrigerator and tore the packaging bag, Lin Qingyin said very seriously: “I will eat this tonight, I want to lose weight.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “… …”
You are bullying me. You’re not actually losing weight, don’t you?

After cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Qingyin’s Mother washed her hands and changed the pot again. After boiling the water, she threw the noodles in, and then scooped in two spoons of salt.
Although Lin Qingyin has never cooked before, she knew from her mother’s smooth operation that these noodles must be salty again.
Coming out of the sultry kitchen, Lin Qingyin’s Mother suddenly felt a lot cooler: “I think our house has cooled off recently. In the previous years, I couldn’t sleep, because of the hot air passing by the kitchen. But these days, even if the fan is off, I can sleep until dawn, and I don’t feel tired at work.”
Lin Qingyin took a bite of the ice cream and asked tentatively, “Mom, have you considered resigning?”
“What am I going to do when I quit my job?” Lin Qingyin’s Mother said helplessly: “People in their forties like me, who have no diploma and skills, can only work as small workers in factories or a cleaner in restaurants and hotels. The same with your father. He can only make some money by going to work honestly. If he quit his job and do business again, we might completely lose our family.”
Lin Qingyin still agrees with her mother’s point of view. She had met her parents before. Both of them belonged to the loyal and honest generation. They have no fortune in wealth. Although they have not reached the point of becoming a beggar, they were born poor.
However, there is no absolute thing in this world. In addition to calculating people’s misfortunes and blessings, divination can change misfortune to auspiciousness. Heaven always left a ray of life for all the things in this world. Lin Qingyin felt that the turning point of her parents’ life appeared because of her.
“I made some money these days.” Lin Qingyin said and took a bite of the ice cream: “Have you ever considered learning to cook at Xindongfang College? I will pay for you.”
*Puchi, chi……* Suddenly, a lot of water overflowed from the boiling pot in the kitchen. Lin Qingyin’s voice was covered with its sound. When she saw this, Lin Qingyin’s Mother didn’t bother to care for what Lin Qingyin had said. She turned around and went to the kitchen.
Lin Qingyin sighed after listening to the rattling noise in the kitchen. Her mother’s eight characters were not compatible with the kitchen job. It seems that she’ll never have a decent meal at home.
After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Lin Qingyin’s Mother came out and asked: “What did you just say?”
Lin Qingyin put the ice cream into her mouth and said: “I said I want to do my homework!”

At 9 o’clock in the morning, Jiang Wei and Fatty Wang arrived at Lin Qingyin’s house on time. Fatty Wang had already transferred the 200,000 yuan to his bank card and ran to several banks to withdraw Lin Qingyin 200,000 yuan. And then, looked for a shop selling jade carving tools.
Fatty Wang knew that the jade that Zhang Wu bought was not cheap. And once Lin Qingyin carved formation on it, it’s price will be immeasurable. Fatty Wang felt that although he gave Lin Qingyin a helping, it was not enough. So now that he received a gift, he felt guilty. He didn’t know how he will repay her for a while. After thinking about it, he decided to give Lin Qingyin this set of inexpensive carving tool to Lin Qingyin as a gift.
When he came to Lin Qingyin’s house with a bunch of things, Fatty Wang gave her the money first. Lin Qingyin didn’t even count it, she simply stuffed the bag into the drawer.
“I think it’s better for you to get an ID card yourself. You can get a bank card if you have an ID card. It will be more convenient for you to collect money in the future.” Fatty Wang brought the jade carving tools to her room, drank a glass of water, and wiped his mouth before saying: “Now we have more than 50 fortune-telling appointments. You have also taken over the big business of the Jiang Family family and Zhang Wu. No need to mention Zhang Wu’s unlucky event. Many people know about the Jiang Family’s situation. When their factory became popular again. There will be a lot of people asking about it. Your price will be not the same as your current price. I can’t always get cash for you. You better have a bank card yourself.”
Lin Qingyin nodded: “You are right, I can buy more jade if I make more money. I will do it when I finish my homework.”
Jiang Wei had already learned about Zhang Wu’s family from Fatty Wang. Thinking of his current situation, Jiang Wei became emotional: “Zhang Wu is much more unfortunate than our family. Our family suffered financially for 2 years, unlike his family, which caused a life.”
Fatty Wang shook his head: “You are innocent in that event, while Zhang Wu asked for it. He wouldn’t fall into this situation if he didn’t make a fool of himself to make a fortune. Strictly speaking, he and Chen Yucheng can only live life miserably.”
When Fatty Wang finished talking, he and looked at Lin Qingyin, who was invariable with Jiang Wei. Chen Yucheng and Zhang Wu will not die soon. They’ll see a lot more good and bad things in this world. While Lin Qingyin could see their future destiny.
There was nothing more to say about this matter. However, Fatty Wang followed her to gain more insight. Lin Qingyin was willing to point out some things: “Zhang Wu has lost his life. The life he lost is his punishment. But if he had other bad thoughts, he won’t be safe.”
“I’ve never met Chen Yucheng. I don’t know what his fate will be. I only took a glance at him when I stood at the window. He already had a short lifespan.” Lin Qingyin put the tortoiseshell in her hand in the small spirit gathering formation and put a jade stone: “Chen Yucheng not only harms people but also steal their luck. The lightning strike is just the beginning of his retribution, the next one will be inside the prison. To put it simply, the retribution he will experience will get worse and worse.”
Hearing this, Fatty Wang felt very happy. He happily took out his cell phone and said, “I’ll send a message to Zhang Wu to see if he knows what happened to Master Wang who pitted him. You said he and I are both surnamed Wang. The two of us can be regarded as peers anyway. Why is there such a big difference in our life? I’ve never done this kind of cruel thing.”
Lin Qingyin chuckled and said: “That’s because you don’t know anything.”
Fatty Wang: “… …”
Little Master, why are you doing this? Can we simply get along with each other!
