Chapter 36: Lin Xiaodou Beats Up Her Own Parents

Lin Xiaodou attacked from both sides.

She unleashed a barrage of punches at Wu Ya’s face.

Ever since this old woman forced herself into the Lin family, she had been nagging nonstop.

Lin Xiaodou had long been itching to beat someone up.

Before, she had held back for the sake of the Lin family and the male lead’s powerful influence.

But now that the Lin family was torn apart by her and the male lead was locked up in jail because of her,

What was there left to fear?

It was just a pity that people were fragile and she had to hold back her strength.

Otherwise, with her divine strength, a single punch could send someone flying.

Though Lin Xiaodou used only a fraction of her strength, Wu Ya was still beaten into loud cries.

“Ah!~~ Help! Min Ge! Come save me!”

The miserable, piercing screams woke everyone in the house.

The first to rush over was Chen Ma, the maid from the next room.

She had been dreaming about eating pork.

Suddenly, the pork in her hand let out a scream.

Startled, she woke up abruptly.

Once she realized the scream was coming from the next room,

Chen Ma immediately became tense.

Could there be a thief in the house?

Xiaodou was just a girl alone in her room — she must be in danger!

Chen Ma ran to the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and rushed over.

“Xiaodou! Don’t be afraid! Chen Ma is here!”

She opened the door and was shocked by what she saw.

Xiaodou was riding on top of the madam, pounding her with fists.

Chen Ma leaned against the door and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Thankfully, it wasn’t a thief.

This was a war between mother and daughter.

Should she try to mediate, or just leave?

Chen Ma hesitated only for a second.

Then decisively closed the door.

She ran back to the kitchen, put down the knife, then quickly returned to her room.

Pulled the covers over herself and went back to sleep!

She didn’t hear a thing.

That was just her imagination!

In the dark,

Chen Ma smiled quietly under the covers.

She had worked as a maid in the Lin family for over ten years.

The madam often yelled at her, verbally abused her, and frequently found excuses to deduct her wages.

If it weren’t for supporting her family, she would have quit long ago.

Seeing Xiaodou beating the madam gave her a sense of relief.

She was doing what Chen Ma dared not do all these years.

Xiaodou! So fierce!

---

Upstairs, Lin Zhengmin and Lin Xuefei were woken by the noise.

They met at the stairway and went downstairs together.

When they reached Lin Xiaodou’s room and saw the scene, both were stunned.

Wu Ya saw them coming and immediately screamed for help:

“Help me! This dead girl has gone crazy!”

“Lin Xiaodou! What are you doing? Stop it right now!”

Lin Zhengmin’s face turned dark as he strode over.

He reached out to pull Lin Xiaodou up.

But as soon as his hand touched her arm, Lin Xiaodou threw a punch.

Bang!

Lin Zhengmin was knocked flying and slammed heavily into the wall.

“Ah!” Lin Xuefei couldn’t help but scream, scared, and hid in the corner.

How could this ugly monster have so much strength?

Lin Zhengmin slumped to the ground coughing twice, eyes full of shock.

He didn’t believe Lin Xiaodou’s adoptive mother when she said the girl was strong and violent.

Now he had no choice but to admit it.

Wu Ya had only been beaten for a short while, but her face was already bruised and swollen beyond recognition.

Seeing his wife in such a sorry state, Lin Zhengmin couldn’t help but say:

“Lin Xiaodou, let your mother go. Let’s talk this through!”

Lin Xuefei echoed, “Yes! If you don’t stop, I’ll call security!”

Of course, she wasn’t trying to help Wu Ya.

She just worried that if Lin Xiaodou went crazy, her fists might turn on herself.

“Go report it, I just happen to need to tell the police about last night’s incident anyway.”

Lin Xiaodou sneered and punched Wu Ya twice more:

“Sneaking into my room to steal stuff in the middle of the night, and you still want to hit me? Hm?”

“Wuwuwu… I won’t dare anymore… I won’t dare…”

Wu Ya looked terrified, shaking her head and crying.

Lin Zhengmin said, “Lin Xiaodou, you…”

“Shut up!” Lin Xiaodou shot a cold glare. “If you say another word, I’ll hit you too!”

Lin Zhengmin was immediately at a loss for words.

Lin Xuefei stepped forward and helped him up. “Dad, we should still report to the police. Sister seems to have gone crazy.”

“Who do you think is crazy?” Lin Xiaodou slowly stood up.

Having already beaten Wu Ya, next was going to be the fake innocent Lin Xuefei.

Lin Xuefei’s pupils shrank. “Sister… I…”

Before she could finish, a fist slammed into her.

“I don’t have a sister! Just hearing you call me sister makes me sick!!”

Lin Xiaodou unleashed a barrage of ugly punches on Lin Xuefei’s face.

Even Lin Zhengmin, trying to help, wasn’t spared.

In no time, the whole family looked like pig-faced bruises.

They clutched their injured faces on the floor, wailing continuously.

“A whole family, neat and tidy — how nice!”

Lin Xiaodou decided to bring forward her revenge plan.

She had originally planned to deal with this family later.

But Wu Ya sneaking into her room last night suddenly made her realize:

If you don’t finish some people off early, trouble will never end.

With this thought, Lin Xiaodou pulled over a chair and sat down.

Looking down coldly at the battered family on the floor, she said:

“Now, I have something to tell you…”

Lin Xiaodou told them three things.

The parrot at Professor Wang’s house wasn’t aware of the people that night — it was all her idea.

She had had the ability to control animals since childhood.

Lin Xiaodou even summoned a mouse on the spot to perform.

Everyone was shocked by this magical display.

After the show, Lin Xiaodou explained her purpose.

She said they only had two choices now.

Either Lin Xuefei confesses at Professor Wang’s house, or Wu Ya takes the blame.

Since the parrot was controlled by her, no matter who went there, it would “recognize” them.

Lin Xiaodou said she would give them two days.

If by the evening after tomorrow there was no result, she would personally go to Professor Wang’s house to clarify everything.

Lin Zhengmin listened and questioned why she would do this.

“Because I want to get revenge on you! Who told you to mistake your daughter? Let me suffer in that family instead of Lin Xuefei!”

This was Lin Xiaodou’s heartfelt voice, speaking on behalf of the original Xiaodou.

There was one thing she didn’t say.

The original Xiaodou’s tragic death was inseparable from them.

She wanted revenge and secretly enjoyed seeing them fight like dogs.

Lin Xiaodou also wasn’t worried they’d spread what happened last night.

Who would believe such a magical thing like controlling animals?

They’d probably just label her superstitious.

Still, just in case,

Lin Xiaodou warned them:

If they weren’t afraid of dying, they could tell others about last night.

Saying that, Lin Xiaodou punched the nearby table, smashing it to pieces.

The power of that punch terrified the three into a state of shock.

They trembled on the ground and said in unison:

“We understand… we won’t say anything…”

Watching them leave the room, Lin Xiaodou’s lips curled into a slight smile.

The real show was about to begin.

After last night, this family would surely fall into chaos and hatred.

Then she would take advantage of the situation, empty everything out, and leave openly and aboveboard.

No one could catch her fault.

After all, she was just a pitiful girl who had been switched at birth for 17 years and only recently found, unloved and neglected.

Who would suspect her?

The game of using others to kill one another—

Lin Xiaodou was truly playing it masterfully…
