Lin Shu returned to the room and asked, “Dad, since when did my younger brother and his wife start locking the door?”

Could it be that Zhao Meifeng went back to ask for a sewing machine, and now the sister-in-law locks it every day because she knows?

Are they afraid that she might come to take it? Well, if they’re afraid, then she might as well just take it back today!

If Sun Xiaohong has the guts, let her bring her family to Lujiacun and ask for it.

Let’s see if they dare to or if they’re scared.

Lin Shu was determined to confront Sun Xiaohong, whether for the original host or for Panpan and Tiantian in the original plot.

Currently, Sun Xiaohong seemed like an ordinary person, managing her in-laws and husband, taking advantage of her three older sisters-in-law, but she hadn’t really crossed the line.

At least she still had some sense of shame and knew fear, didn’t she?

According to the original plot, the sister-in-law later began to show her true colors to avoid letting Tiantian and Panpan stay there.

With the eldest and second sisters-in-law also dealing with their own matters and unable to take care of their family home, she started creating a fuss, refusing to care for the two children and threatening divorce to return to her parental home and remarry.

The younger brother didn’t have any objections; he was willing to take care of them, but he couldn’t divorce his wife for the sake of his sister’s children.

In the end, the second sister-in-law took the children away.

After the second sister-in-law passed away, Lin’s father wanted to bring the children back, but Sun Xiaohong threw a huge tantrum.

By then, she had taken over the Lin family and was no longer talking about divorce and remarrying.

Instead, she wanted to drive the old couple out and not provide for them in their old age.

With two of the three daughters who were willing to care for them, and the remaining one being in a difficult situation and unable to help, she became quite arrogant.

Unfortunately, the story is from Xu Xiaoyou’s perspective, not from Lu Pan’s.

Although Lu Panpan is a big villain, he mostly remembers those who were good to him and rarely remembers those who were not.

He remembers his second aunt personally picking them up and dropping them off at school in the wind and rain, his eldest aunt sending them cotton clothes from far away, his grandmother giving him money and making various toys, his uncle giving him sweet cherries, and so on…

He remembers so much, but he never remembers the bad things his uncle’s wife did to them.

So the book doesn’t cover what happened to Sun Xiaohong later.

However, Lin Shu could analyze that Sun Xiaohong was neither a great villain nor exceptionally lucky.

She could only lead an ordinary life.

She might even be disliked by the eldest and second sisters-in-law due to her harsh treatment of the children and in-laws.

Neighbors would gossip, and Lin’s younger brother would have grievances. She would definitely feel unsettled.

After all, when Lu Panpan became successful and opened a factory in Lujiacun, benefiting many neighbors, he never mentioned the Lin family, indicating that he didn’t help them.

Given that Lu Pan became successful, how could Sun Xiaohong’s character not try to climb the family tree?

As a scheming big villain, Lu Pan would never let her have her way.

Although the original plot doesn’t describe it, Lin Shu could guess that Sun Xiaohong must have felt very frustrated later on.

But thinking about Tiantian and Panpan’s fate in the book, Lin Shu felt unhappy too.

Not only did she want to confront Sun Xiaohong, but she also wanted to deal with her biological brother, Lin Yue!

If it weren’t for this brainless idiot, how could Sun Xiaohong have entered the Lin family and caused so much trouble?

He deserved a good beating!

The sewing machine must be retrieved!

Lin’s mother asked, “What are you grinning about?”

Lin Shu replied, “You should be trying to curry favor with your grandchildren Lu Panpan and Lu Tiantian. They are quite something. If you do well, you’ll be guaranteed to live comfortably and healthily until you’re 100.”

Lin’s mother raised her hand to hit her. “Have you gone mad? You dare to speak to parents like this?”

Panpan and Tiantian exchanged a look and ignored the argument between their grandmother and mother.

They started telling their Grandfather Lin all about recent events, leaving nothing out.

Lin’s grandfather was shocked.

“Oh my goodness, that sounds so dangerous! Thankfully, you two are alright. Otherwise, Grandpa would have cried his eyes out.”

“Grandpa almost became a doctor too. But Grandpa was good at everything he tried. He could have been a carpenter as well.”

“Grandpa…”

At that moment, someone outside shouted, “Second Uncle, the brigade said that the commune is selecting members to learn how to drive a tractor. They want young people to sign up. Should we see if Lin Yue wants to apply?”

Lin’s father immediately said, “Sign up! Definitely sign up!”

The young man who came in saw Lin Shu standing in front of the kang and his eyes lit up.

He smiled, “Lin Shu, you’re back?”

Lin Shu didn’t recall this young man from the original host’s memory.

She kept avoiding people, kept her head down when walking, and really didn’t know many people.

She pointed to the basket on the table. “Eat the peaches.”

Zhou Weimin smiled and picked up a peach, starting to bite into it.

Lin Shu said, “Wash it first…”

Zhou Weimin had already bitten into the peach and didn’t even notice the fuzz on the fruit.

Lin’s mother glared at Lin Shu and smiled at Zhou Weimin, “Alright, Auntie understands. I’ll have Lin Yue sign up later. Zhou Weimin, you can go ahead and be busy.”

Zhou Weimin glanced at Lin Shu again.

He thought Lin Shu looked even better than before. Could it be that the environment in Lu Village was more nourishing than in Lin Village?

Seeing his straightforward gaze, Lin’s mother was displeased.

You’re just a part-time mail carrier with no salary. Even if my daughter is divorced, she’s not for you to take!

She spoke to Zhou Weimin in a polite manner.

Lin’s mother sent Zhou Weimin off and then glared at Lin Shu, scolding, “I told you you were acting strange, but you didn’t believe me. You used to be as timid as a mouse, but now you’re grinning at everyone you see. What’s with that smile?”

She suspected that Lin Shu had been affected by something, leading her to act this way.

Lin Shu rolled her eyes.

The original host’s mother really did scold her often, but if it were anyone else, she wouldn’t be treated this way.

Lin’s mother said, “Oh, you’re so much more annoying than before!”

Lin Shu replied, “Enough already. With Grandma gone, you’ve gotten all puffed up. Just because you have a bit of power now doesn’t mean you can act all high and mighty.”

She had already earned her in-laws’ trust and established her position, so she was no longer afraid of losing her reputation. Why should she endure the original host’s grievances when returning to her family home?

She was intentionally provoking Lin’s mother.

Now not only Panpan and Tiantian, but also Lin’s father were laughing heartily.

Lin’s mother, frustrated, hit her daughter but didn’t take it too seriously. Like Fang Dihua, she believed Lin Shu must have been possessed or something to have changed her personality so drastically.

“Third Sister?” At that moment, Lin Shu’s younger twin brother, Lin Yue, stealthily entered the room.

Lin Shu coldly remarked, “Oh, if I didn’t know better, I’d think a big rat just came in.”

Lin Yue: “…”

Lin’s mother angrily said, “You’re being rebellious. Are you here to collect debts?”

Lin Yue stared at Lin Shu as if he had seen a ghost. “You… you’re not my sister! Who are you? My sister wouldn’t act like this.”

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at him. “Afraid I’d take the sewing machine first and block my mouth, huh? You’re quite something.”

“Am I not what? Am I not impressive enough? Do you think I deserve to be bullied by you two?”

“Lin Yue, let me tell you, don’t think that just because your brother-in-law is gone, I’m without support. If you two don’t return my sewing machine, I’ll report you to the commune for bullying the widow of a martyr.”

Lin Yue turned pale, “Dad, Mom, is she really my sister?”

Lin Shu remembered how her brother used to tease the original host and steal her embroidery to give to others when they were young, and her anger flared up.

She hit Lin Yue on the shin with a fire stick, making him cry out in pain.

Lin’s mother hurriedly intervened, “Have you gone mad? You’re hitting and scolding your parents as soon as you come back?”

Lin Shu struck Lin Yue again, “Are you my father?”

Lin Yue quickly said, “You’re my father, stop hitting me! I beg you!”

Lin Shu asked, “Aren’t I your sister?”

Lin Yue replied, “Yes, you’re my sister. I can prove it with the bruises you gave me in the womb!”

He lifted his shirt to show a birthmark on his lower back, claiming it was from being kicked by Lin Shu when she was still in the womb.

Lin Shu had a mark on her waist too, smaller than Lin Yue’s, resembling a butterfly.

Lin Shu snorted, “If you don’t return the sewing machine, I’ll beat you back to your mother’s womb.”

You worthless dog, not acting like a man. Isn’t it because the original owner was always bullied when she was young with no one to manage it?

If only her brother were a real person, he would know to help her fight back when the twins were bullied!
