Rebirth: 1977

Yin Yuling jumped off her bicycle, and overjoyedly took the hand of an old lady and asked:

"Aunt, are you telling the truth? Xiaoshui is really back, and he is having dinner at Brother Shifeng's house now, right?"

"Ah, who can lie about this? Look, these two brand new cars are the ones Xiaoshui and his friends drove here.

Oh my, more than ten people came at once. Haven’t you seen how beautiful his wife is?

And his three children. Oh, yes, there was one, Xiaoshui, who was in his arms so we couldn't see him clearly. The other two were obviously twins. They looked like the golden boy and jade girl in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so handsome and noble.

Oh, that's Xiaoping, ah, your former stepmother Wang Xiaoping. You won't forget her, right? Ha, she's back too.

I really didn't expect that Xiaoping would be so beautiful when she grows up. Now she has grown into... haha, she is so graceful and elegant. Yes, yes, graceful and elegant, just like she was raised by a wealthy family in the city. She is pleasing to the eye.

Now no one from the Wang family has come to claim her. Lingling, given your original relationship, she seems to have made a name for herself now. You should just acknowledge her as your daughter. You won’t suffer any loss.”

The aunt gave a flattering smile and told Yin Yuling everything she had seen, heard, and guessed.

Although it sounds a bit exaggerated when they say it, it is not too outrageous.

There were rumors in the village that the relationship between Yin Yuling and Xiaoshui was tense and disharmonious, so Xiaoshui had not been seen in the past few years.

But no one could prove that this was true.

The villagers thought that the brother and sister were both adopted by Grandma Pan and had grown up together taking care of each other.

Now that Grandma Pan is gone, shouldn't the siblings get along better? Even if there are some bumps, the tongue and teeth will still bump against each other, what's so rare?

How could the affection that had been developed through seventeen or eighteen years of living together and enduring hardships together be so easily broken up?

Unless Xiaoshui becomes ungrateful and refuses to acknowledge her rural sister after she has made something successful, but looking at the way Xiaoshui handled the funeral affairs for Grandma Pan, she doesn't seem like a heartless and ungrateful person.

This rumor is not credible and cannot be believed.

They all knew that they had no chance to curry favor with Ye Tianshui and make friends with him, but if they had a good relationship with Yin Yuling, they might get some benefits.

Yin Yuling was feeling very anxious and upset now. All she heard was that Xiaoshui was back, but she was not told that Xiaoshui had brought his wife and children back with him.

In front of Xiaoshui's wife, she is the elder sister-in-law, and the child should call her aunt.

No matter how noble my brother's wife is, given her status, I still have to call her "big sister" politely.

Children? Who would have thought that Xiaoshui had three children without telling anyone? She was not invited to the capital for the wedding banquet, and when she gave birth to twins, she heard about it from Pan Shifeng.

Unexpectedly, she gave birth to another child, and she hadn't heard any news about this child. Xiaoshui is...really becoming more and more distant from her.

Yin Yuling was really sad, but she didn't want the villagers to look down on her.

Looking back at those two cars, how much money would it cost to buy them?

If the money saved for a car can improve her life, that is not...

Yin Yuling didn't dare to think too deeply: "How could I not know that Xiaoshui was back? He was the first one to tell me."

Her face was full of pride and complacency.

Several women believed what she said and surrounded Yin Yuling, saying nice things:

"Lingling, we all know that you two siblings have a good relationship. Xiaoshui has only been here for more than an hour, and you and your wife have already arrived."

"That's right, you two siblings have always had a good relationship, so you must be in touch often.

Lingling, you have a brother like Xiaoshui, you will be blessed in the future."

"That's right, Lingling, don't forget us if you have any good things in the future. The Shifeng family became rich because of Xiaoshui.

If he gives you the opportunity to make money in the future, don't forget to bring us along to make money together.

After all, we are the elders who watched you two grow up, and we took care of you when you were little."

Yin Yuling nodded repeatedly and promised: "Of course, let's make money together and enjoy happiness together.

My Xiaoshui is very capable. If there is an opportunity to make money, he will certainly take us with him and will not forget everyone.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Chen Siyuan parked his bike and happened to hear Yin Yuling's boast. He quickly came over and pulled her aside, and reminded her in a low voice with a cold face:

"Lingling, don't make random promises or talk nonsense to them. Others may not know, but we know it best. Xiaoshui doesn't want to see us at all.

Since you won't listen to my advice and insist on coming to see him, I'll agree to your request, but you must be nicer to Xiaoshui when you meet him, and don't bring up your childhood friendship.

No matter how good our relationship is, you have already ruined it. Be nicer and beg Xiaoshui. Maybe he will forgive you because of our childhood friendship."

Yin Yuling tried to break free from Chen Siyuan's hand and said sharply:

"I didn't ask you to come with me in the first place. Now that you are here, just listen to me. You have heard what the villagers said. The relationship between us siblings is not so easy to break up!"

Seeing that his wife refused to listen to his advice, Chen Siyuan got angry. He lowered his voice and reminded her:

"How much affection did you have when you were kids? How many times have you tortured Xiaoshui?

Also, others don't know about the grievances between you and him, but don't you have any idea about it in your heart? You still bring it up now, does Xiaoshui admit it?

If the truth gets out and the villagers know the twists and turns, do you think you will still have the nerve to come to this village in the future?

Look carefully at the faces of those people over there. Is there any one of them who has ever been truly kind to you and Xiaoshui?

They are trying to please you now just because they see Xiaoshui has become successful and they want to get benefits from you.

Can't you see? If you make a promise to them casually now, you can't guarantee whether Xiaoshui will recognize you or not!"

Yin Yuling hated to hear about the love and hate between her and Ye Tianshui. Did those love and hate have anything to do with her?

She herself is a victim!

It was normal that Xiaoshui couldn't accept it at first, but as she slowly figured it out, she realized that the relationship between them as siblings was the most genuine one in the world.

"Chen Siyuan, don't let me hear you say that I'm torturing Xiaoshui again!

Xiaoshui is not a petty person. Even if I did something that made him unhappy at that time, it is our own business.

When you meet Xiaoshui later, shut up. The relationship between us siblings is not something that outsiders like you can understand!

So what if his wife comes? I am her elder sister-in-law, and she has to respect me when she sees me!"

Chen Siyuan hurriedly reminded her:

"Speak more quietly, it's not good if others hear you!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here to see my brother. Is there anything shameful about that?"

Yin Yuling shook her hands vigorously and ran to Pan Shifeng's house and knocked on the door.
