Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 135.2: The Scummy Brother (3)

Mother Lin was in a state of confusion and disbelief. She felt that Lin Shixing’s anger was really unjustified because she thought she had been good enough to her daughter and allowed her enjoy her happiness.

As for asking her to drop out of school and get married, wasn’t that because that family was rich? Marrying a rich man could reduce the amount of suffering, this was what she experienced. Why didn’t this child understand that?!

Mother Lin felt she should drag her daughter away to properly lecture her.

She mulled over the words in her head first, “Shixing, listen to what I’m telling you...”

“Aiyo Mom!”

Lin Shiheng interrupted her, “Why do you need to tell her anything? She just wants to go to the competition, so just let her go. “

Mother Lin has always listened to her son’s words, but her mind thought of gossip in the grocery store when she heard his words. ‘So and so celebrity was immersed in hidden rules’, ‘The entertainment industry is so tainted and hard to avoid’, and other such topics. She replied, “You children don’t understand, let me talk to your sister first. “

“What are you going to say? If you don’t let her go today, she’s going to hit her head on the wall. She usually looks soft, but when she puts her mind to something she tougher than anyone. Did you forget that time she fought as a child? She fought with that Wang Chao brat, causing his head to bleed. Lin Shixing is ruthless. “

Lin Shixing, who was bowing her head in silent tears, raised her eyes and glared fiercely at her brother.

At that time, he was the one who was fighting Wang Chao, and she went over to stop the fight. In the end, Lin Shixing accidentally knocked the guy over and he hit his head, causing him to bleed. When the parents asked, they all blamed her.

She told the truth, but none of her parents believed her, saying that Lin Shiheng was well behaved, obedient and wouldn’t fight.

If it wasn’t for the countless times Lin Shiheng pushed her out to take the blame and her parents’ biased treatment since her childhood, she wouldn’t have such a bad relationship with Lin Shiheng, whom she should call her elder brother.

Lin Shixing was getting more and more angry as she remembered the past, but Mother Lin was instantly stunned.

She licked her dry lips and blurted out, “Shixing, it’s really not that Mom won’t let you go, those places aren’t clean, you’re a nice young girl. What’s the point of going there, what if something happens...”

Lin Shixing’s eyes were still red as she tried to hold back her tears and stubbornly looked at her mother, “What if it’s my Elder Brother? What if Elder Brother wants to go? You won’t let him go either?”

“Hey, I’m at home playing games for a good reason, what’s the point of going there and competing with a bunch of people for a spot. It’s not like I have nothing to do. “

Lin Shixing simply pretended not to hear Lin Shiheng’s words, still stubbornly looking at her mother, “Don’t lie to me, I can see it. Tell me honestly, if Lin Shiheng wants to go, will you let him go?”

Mother Lin mumbled half-heartedly, but still hesitantly said, “Shiheng is a boy, and he’s older. He won’t be taken advantage of if he goes...”

Lin Shixing’s eyes brimmed with tears.

It was obvious that she was covering her mouth to stop the sobs, but the intermittent and pitiful sobs were still coming through her fingers. Lin Shixing turned around, lifted the covers and hid her entire body, including her head, under them.

“You both get out, I want to be alone. “

Mother Lin gave her daughter a somewhat hesitant look. Faced with her daughter who had just made a lot of accusations against her, and fearing that she might be provoked into committing suicide again, she couldn’t put up a strong front. She just hesitantly said, “Then you should rest well. When you wake up and your father comes back, we’ll talk to you properly. “

She knelt down, grabbed the knife, and looked around to make sure there were no more objects that could be used to commit suicide. She then took a step back and pulled Lin Shiheng out the door.

At the sound of the door closing, Lin Shixing, who was hiding under the covers, could no longer suppress her sobs and burst out crying.

At that moment, she even wanted to really end her life like Lin Shiheng had said.

Outside the door, Lin Shiheng shook off his mother’s hand as soon as he stepped into the living room, “Mom, you’re too old-fashioned. How can that place be unclean, it’s just a singing competition, isn’t it? No wonder Lin Shixing was unhappy, if it were me I would be unhappy too.”

Mother Lin could be tough with her daughter, but not with her son. After all, she had been brought up to think that men were the sky, whether it was her father, husband, or son. As long as they were firm, she would be weak.

“You’re too young to understand. Your sister is only 17...”

“Yes. “

Lin Shiheng interrupted his mother impatiently, “You want her to drop out of school and work at the age of 17. “

Mother Lin paused, not knowing how to retort for a while. She could only mumble, “I went to work as a teenager too, and so did your aunt... Didn’t your father and I fall in love when we were working?”

“You went out to work because your family didn’t have the money or the means to pay for your education. What kind of era is it now? Does our family need that kind of money? Mom, I’m not talking about you. You and Dad are really old-fashioned sometimes, can’t you accept something new? If my sister Lin Shixing dropped out of school at 17, what does her older brother, who’s still in school at 19, become? She’s even getting good grades. You’ll see, if you do this, those long-winded women around here might say something about our family behind our backs. “

Having said that, Lin Shiheng didn’t look at his mother who mumbled an explanation. He turned and strutted into his room, closing the door with a bang.

Mother Lin was left standing in the living room.

Confused and puzzled, she still wasn’t angry with her son. After all, she had long been used to his behavior.

She just didn’t understand what she did wrong.

Mother Lin sat on the sofa for a while and then felt restless, so she just got up and leaned over the guest room door to listen to what was going on inside, and then mopped the floor with a mop.

After going back and forth a few times, the words her daughter said and the words her son said kept running through her mind.

Eventually, she hesitantly raised her eyes to the door of her daughter’s room and turned to go downstairs.

Lin Shixing hadn’t slept. Although she was a little sleepy from crying and swollen eyes, and her spirit was exhausted, oddly enough, her mind was wide awake.

Things that had happened since her childhood keep going through her mind.

There were the times when Lin Shixing was bullied by her parents; the times when she had to wear her school uniform even when her clothes were short, tight, and uncomfortable for a year; And the times when her parents picked her up and coaxed her when she fell down as a child.

There were good ones and bad ones, but in the end, there were many more bad ones.

She quietly opened her eyes in the dark and felt that her tears had completely dried up.

The sound of the door opening was particularly noticeable in the silence of the small room.

Sensing that someone had opened the door, Lin Shixing subconsciously closed her eyes.

After a moment, Mother Lin’s voice rang out, “Shixing, are you asleep?”

Lin Shixing closed her eyes under the covers and didn’t make a sound.

There was a rustling sound, followed by the covers being carefully pulled down over her head; she couldn’t see with her eyes closed, and could only tell by touch and hearing that Mother Lin had tucked her in.

Then she stood up and went towards the door. It was as if she had gone out and closed it gently.

She didn’t even stay in the room for 2 minutes.

Lin Shixing opened her eyes, only to find that there was a pen placed in front of her.

The X series, the one she wanted so much back then.

She actually had the money to buy one now. She had enough money from her part-time job to buy quite a few pens, but because she was saving money and it wasn’t a necessity, she held off buying one even though she liked it.

Lin Shixing stared fixedly at the pen. Her eyes, which she thought had dried up, were aching with sour once again, and tears were brewing.

She reached out for the pen, but paused a second before touching it.

After half a second, Lin Shixing turned around, turned her back on the pen and closed her eyes.

In an instant, tears fell like rain.
