CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 602: LIN JIAYI ISN’T MOTHER’S BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER?

Lin Jiayi isn’t Mother’s biological daughter?

She’s lived two lifetimes and only now learned this.

This is even more surprising than hearing that Li Guangyuan isn’t Mrs. Li’s biological son.

Mrs. Li’s unusual preference for daughters over sons, willing to let her son’s family fall apart just to not wrong her two daughters.

This kind of behavior was unusual for the time, so when it was said that Li Guangyuan wasn’t Mrs. Li’s biological son, she could easily accept it.

Mother Lin cherished Lin Jiayi deeply, although in Mother Lin’s heart, Lin Jiayi didn’t hold the same status as her son Lin Jiadong.

But compared to her, also a daughter, it was a world of difference.

"Do you know the specifics? Since Eldest Sister is well-off, why would other’s daughter end up in our family? Mom never mentioned it before."

This really piqued Lin Chuxia’s curiosity.

"I know a little about it, Mom told me in the past few days, it seems that Eldest Sister’s family, when her family had a mishap, Eldest Sister’s parents fled to our hometown and somehow got separated, and at that time Eldest Sister’s mother was already more than nine months pregnant, suddenly gave birth early, and happened to be encountered by Mom, who saved both mother and daughter. Mom said when Eldest Sister was born, she was tiny and pitiful, like she couldn’t survive, and left behind as they couldn’t take her while fleeing. Later Eldest Sister’s biological parents escaped abroad and only returned when the policies eased in recent years. This time Eldest Sister’s biological mother came back just to find her."

Lin Chuxia nodded, her fingers gently tapping the table.

An City Vegetable Station has a foreign investment, and Lin Jiayi’s biological mother is from abroad, and the overseas Chinese Ms. Zhuang Jingshu she’s recently been in contact with happened to come to An City to fulfill a last wish.

Lin Chuxia didn’t think there could be such coincidences, so Lin Jiayi’s biological mother’s identity is probably that Ms. Zhuang Jingshu.

If it weren’t for her connection with her master, when Ms. Zhuang’s illness was severe, she would probably have returned abroad again or gone to a big hospital in the capital, or perhaps even...

Therefore, in her previous life, Lin Jiayi hadn’t revealed this identity mostly because something happened with Ms. Zhuang’s side.

"No wonder Mom was biased toward Eldest Sister since she was a child; she wasn’t our family’s kid. If that’s the case, it’s understandable, Eldest Sister is an outsider, after all, you should be more accommodating toward outsiders."

Lin Jiadong was muttering softly over there.

"Strangely, Mom also said not to let me go home for a while, telling me to stay in school on weekends. Before, when I wanted to study at school, she always urged me to go home, but now she’s actively letting me stay."

"By the way, Second Sister, I’m sorry, I accidentally blurted out, Mom knows you’ve been in An City recently, she might come to find you."

Lin Jiadong looked guilty, "I really didn’t mean to, Mom rarely asks me about you, I don’t know what’s going on with her and Eldest Sister lately. They ask me about you every now and then, and I accidentally let it slip."

This was also the main reason he came to find Second Sister.

Eldest Sister hasn’t gotten along with Second Sister for a long time, and now she has a wealthy mother, Lin Jiadong doesn’t think Eldest Sister is looking for Second Sister with good intentions.

His big mouth, however, let Eldest Sister pry the information from him.

"It’s okay."

Lin Chuxia knew that even if Lin Jiadong hadn’t slipped, eventually Lin Jiayi and her mother would have found her.

A couple of days ago, Sun Bingnan even called her, saying her mother asked him about her, even asked Sun Bingnan for her number.

Sun Bingnan knew about Lin Chuxia and her relationship, so he didn’t give her the phone number.

"Since Mom doesn’t want you going home, focus on your studies at school during these days, and perhaps return home less often, as the matters at home aren’t something you can manage."

"I understand, Second Sister, don’t be sad. From now on, you’re my only sibling, and once I get into college, I’ll have your back."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you to have my back."

Lin Chuxia gave a faint smile.

As for being sad, she really didn’t have much to be sad about.

She didn’t feel sad not knowing that Lin Jiayi was someone else’s child, and now knowing Lin Jiayi was someone else’s child makes her even less sad.

Her mother was how she was towards her, and she understood it clearly, having a clear conscience.

......................

On the small road leading to Qin Family Village, two figures surveyed the surroundings as they walked toward Qin Family Village.

Lin Jiayi looked at the surroundings, her heart mixed with emotions.

This was the place where she spent half her previous life, and she thought she’d never set foot here again, yet unexpectedly...

And the Qin Family Village before her eyes was completely different from what she remembered. Even when in the last life it developed into an urban village by the government, it never looked like this.

A straight small road, even better built than city roads.

On the road, many people pushed carts carrying vegetables, heading to the vegetable wholesale market next to Qin Family Village.

There, too, people were bustling about, even more lively than their hometown markets.

She had heard Li Guangyuan talk about the vegetable wholesale market in Qin Family Village, which was already more prosperous than the county’s vegetable station.

Qin Family people were also industrious, either growing vegetables in greenhouses or working in food factories.

In a few years, every household would become a millionaire.

Lin Jiayi knew clearly that the wealthiest in Qin Family Village was probably her ex-in-law’s family.

But so what? No matter how rich, it couldn’t compare to that woman.

She’s practically half a foreigner, has big factories abroad, and everything she eats, wears, uses are things Lin Jiayi’s never seen.

Even if Lin Chuxia were rich, she couldn’t compare to her.

Pulling herself together, Lin Jiayi said to Mother Lin beside her, "Mom, when you see Lin Chuxia, you must talk to her properly. I know that little slut always responds to softness, not hardness. Now she’s backed by the Qin Family, early on she doesn’t regard us maternal family members anymore. Being hard won’t work."

Mother Lin was in good spirits lately, nodded to whatever Lin Jiayi said, "Don’t worry, I know, before I didn’t want to ruin your brother’s future, but people I’ve manipulated for so many years can’t easily escape my grasp."

"I knew you are the best, Mom, you must help me with this. Whether I can win the favor of that woman and if she can give me the company, it’s up to you."

Mother Lin was a bit puzzled, "Actually, I think there’s no need to focus solely on her couple of shops. That surname Zhuang is so good to you, whatever you want, doesn’t she give you? Now you’re her only daughter. Before when you wanted the vegetable station, didn’t she just have people buy it for you with a word? It’s just a couple of shops, if you want to open one, tell her, she might just hand a ready-made shop to you, then you can sell whatever you like. No need to fixate on her bun shop."

"What do you know?" Lin Jiayi replied dissatisfiedly, "She might be willing to spend money on me, the money she spends on me is just pocket money to her, it’s like handing a beggar pocket change. Now over there, I can’t even compare to that Zhuang Yang around her."
