Anning took out a n's shirt, placed it nicely, and then found a needle and thread to carefully sew the seams.
By the ti she finished sewing, she heard Lin Anjie calling her from outside: "Anning, Anning."
Anning quickly responded: "I'm here."
Lin Anjie's voice was cheerful, "Do you want to leave now? There's a vehicle going into town, and we can give you a lift."
Anning packed the clothes into a bag, zipped it up, and hid the white shirt very securely before coming out of the house.
Lin Anjie was standing under the eaves talking to soone, her face wearing a bright smile, clearly in a good mood: "Hurry up and get ready, I've arranged for soone to take you part of the way, it'll save you so trouble."
Anning smiled: "I'll leave in a bit."
The person Lin Anjie was talking to was Lin Qiann, the wealthiest man in Xiaogou Village.
Lin Qiann had worked in a transport team so years ago, and after the reforms and opening up, he borrowed money to buy a truck to transport goods. In less than two years, his family beca wealthy. Not only did he repay the borrowed money, he also bought a tractor.
This ti, Lin Qiann was driving the tractor to town for so errands, and just happened to pass by Lin Aiguo's house. Rembering that today was supposed to be Anning's school day, he casually asked if she wanted a ride.
Facing Lin Qiann, Anning said, "Uncle Qiann, I haven't eaten yet. My mom said she'd make pancakes for to take to school, so I still need to wait a bit. If you're in a hurry, please go ahead."
Lin Qiann was indeed busy, so he just laughed, "Alright then, uncle will go first. I'll give you a lift when you co back from town later."
Anning, who was particularly polite, said, "Thank you for your trouble. I still have my middle school books and notes, I'll ask my mom to deliver them to you tomorrow."
Lin Qiann's son was currently in middle school, doing quite well academically and very diligent. Anning's notes would be very useful for him.
Hearing this, Lin Qiann imdiately smiled, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then. Okay, I'm off."
He walked out with a cigarette in his mouth, and Anning quickly followed to see him off.
Lin Anjie rolled her eyes behind them, deeply feeling that Anning was too hypocritical.
She felt that everyone has flaws in their character, but the perfection Anning displayed was just too much. This shows that Anning is too scheming, soone not to be closely associated with.
It was just like in her previous life, where no sooner had she left, Anning married into the Su family, then took control of Su Zhiqiang, and subdued the entire Su family, getting the whole family to help her. Eventually, she made a fortune and Anning lived the life of a rich lady.
Thinking of the events of her past life, Lin Anjie felt burning discomfort in her heart.
The group from the Su family didn't stay long at the Lin Family ho, they ate so dishes, drank a couple of cups of wine, and then left.
After they left, the Lin Family started to have their al.
Wang Cuixhua had made a few pancakes for Anning, cut them up, and put them aside to cool; the table was set with dark bread buns.
Lin Anjie frowned upon seeing the buns on the table.
She slamd her chopsticks down on the table: "Mom, you're being too unfair, why does Anning get pancakes and we get bread buns?"
Wang Cuixhua glared at Lin Anjie: "Eat what's there and stop complaining about useless things."
Lin Anjie was even more displeased: "Eat, just eat this? I want pancakes too."
Lin Aiguo was so frustrated that he threw down his chopsticks: "What are you blabbering about? Anning needs to go to school, and these pancakes are for her to take to school. She doesn't eat well there, always trying to save money, not even willing to eat plain buns. Your mom made these pancakes to nourish her, even though these pancakes, once cold, are too hard. Anning still has to eat them for a week. And here you are, begrudging your own sister."
Sitting at the side, Lin Anping nibbled on the bread bun and whispered quietly, "Big sister, just calm down. I'm the youngest in our family and I'm not saying anything, what's all this fuss about?"
Lin Anjie, feeling even more aggrieved, took deep, heaving breaths.
Anning took a bite of the bread bun, and seeing that Lin Anjie was about to explode, she preempted her.
Anning tossed the bun onto the plate and slapped Lin Anjie's face with her palm.
This slap not only stunned Lin Anjie but the whole family as well.
Anning is a particularly gentle girl who never argues with anyone. At ho, she always gives way to Lin Anjie.
But this ti, Anning actually hit Lin Anjie, all because he said a few sarcastic remarks? This seems a bit unusual.
Lin Anjie jumped up, covering his face, "Lin Anning, you dog... you're not human, you..."
"Who are you cursing?"
Lin Aiguo slamd his palm on the table and glared at Lin Anjie.
Lin Anjie suddenly burst into tears, his eyes brimming with tears: "Dad, you saw it just now. Lin Anning hit , she slapped my face, and you, you actually sided with her."
Anning sneered coldly: "I hit you, and it was light. If I had a slightly worse temper, I could kill you."
This statent stunned the family even more.
Anning turned and went back into her room. When she ca out, she was holding a white shirt.
She threw the white shirt on Lin Anjie's face: "Look at the ss you've created."
"I..."
Lin Anjie, holding the white shirt, was slightly panicked, but regained her composure in a mont: "What have I done, Lin Anning, why do you have a n's shirt, you..."
"Why do I have it?"
Anning sneered repeatedly: "I should be asking you. Just now I rembered I forgot so items, so I opened my bag to put them in. Only when I picked up the bag did I realize the bottom seam had co undone, and at the very bottom was this shirt, Lin Anjie, where did this shirt co from?"
"How would I know."
Lin Anjie shook her head repeatedly.
Anning laughed angrily: "You don't know? I've seen you buy such a shirt, I thought you were buying it for your brother-in-law, but it turns out you put it in my bag. Lin Anjie, what are you scheming?"
After Anning finished, she turned her head to look at Lin Aiguo: "Dad, my sister is really unscrupulous in her actions. I don't know what I did to offend her, but she set up like this. If I hadn't noticed the bag's seam had co undone, I probably would have just walked off, and in a few steps, this shirt would have fallen out. If a girl like who is still in school is found with a man's shirt in her bag, what would others think? They'll definitely think that I'm not studying well and ssing around at school. By then, my reputation would be ruined."
Lin Anjie's face turned pale.
Lin Aiguo's face grew even paler.
"You're talking nonsense."
Lin Anjie retorted.
Lin Anning just looked at Lin Aiguo.
Lin Aiguo thought for a while and then looked at Lin Anjie: "You wretched girl, this thing you've done... I'll beat you to death."
Lin Aiguo raised his hand to hit Lin Anjie, who quickly dodged. She was particularly defiant: "Dad, why would you hit ? It is Lin Anning who did this, she, she bought this shirt."
Wang Cuihua slapped Lin Anjie's face in response: "Stop your nonsense, we, your father and I, know what kind of person Anning is. She would never do such a thing."
Lin Anning looked solemnly at Lin Anjie: "Sister, all you think about is making life difficult for , ruining my reputation. But have you ever thought, if my reputation is damaged, what good would you get out of it? We are siblings. If I am dishonored, would you be any better? People will definitely say, 'An Jie's sister is no good; she's also up to no good.' It won't only be about you and ; even An Ran's reputation would suffer. Tell , isn't this harming others without benefiting yourself?"
Lin Anjie was stunned.
She only thought about framing Lin Anning, completely ruining her, but never considered that she and Lin Anning were from the sa family, they were siblings, and if one's reputation was tarnished, the other would inevitably be affected too.
