Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

As the saying goes: A fool has good fortune.

This sentence is just right for Lin Shuang. Although she didn't get into college in her previous life, her uncle arranged a job for her in a pharmacy, which was relatively leisurely, not too demanding, and close to home. Her aunt is a retired bank employee, and with her uncle's income, Lin Shuang doesn't need to make a lot of money, just enough for her to spend. When Lin Shuang was 24 years old, she was introduced to a man who was six years older than her. His family was poor and he was a little lame, but fortunately he was down-to-earth and capable, and he treated Lin Shuang well, so her uncle didn't mind that he was older. In the second year after marriage, Lin Shuang gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. It was a great celebration. Her uncle and aunt's lives of more than 60 years suddenly had a direction again, and the family lived in harmony.

The last time I had a video call with Lin Shuang in my previous life, her two babies both called me "Auntie"...

In this life, I hope Lin Shuang can be so happy. I don’t ask for great wealth and honor, but just a peaceful life.

Lin Shuang has a very single-minded way of thinking. You can't use a normal tone when chatting with her, like now:

Lin Shuang sat next to me and shook my arm: "Sister~ why are you here?"

"Today is your mother's birthday, of course I have to come."

"How do you know my mother's birthday?"

"She is my aunt and she is so kind to me, of course I know."

"So do you know my dad?"

"Yes, it's the tenth day of October."

"how do you know?"

"Your father is my uncle~"

"Do my aunt and brother Yuan know about this too?"

"Of course!"

"Why does my aunt know this?"

"Because...your aunt is your father's biological sister..."

"Then do you know my birthday?"

"I know, the fifth day of the first lunar month~"

"How do you know? Were you there watching me when I was born?"

"Your father told me... I was only five months old when you were born..."

"Oh, then how did these two brothers know?" She pointed at Qin Luotian and Yao Yuan and asked me.

"They also found out today and stayed at our house. My uncle likes the hustle and bustle, so he let them come along..."

"Then do you know my grandma's birthday?"

“I know…” The more we talked, the quieter my voice became. I was so tired. I was tired of saying “I know”…

"Sister, you are so amazing! You can remember so many things, unlike me, who can't even remember your birthday!" Lin Shuang took out her cell phone and asked everyone present about their birthdays one by one, recording as she asked, even Qin Luotian and Yao Yuan were not spared.

Cheng Xinyuan secretly showed me a speechless expression...

Although Lin Shuang is not very smart and often says shocking things, she is very understanding of family affection and is very filial to her parents. She has a low IQ, but that doesn't mean she is ignorant.

Lian Cheng Xinyuan said: Compared with the older cousin who has a high IQ and studied abroad, he prefers this simple-minded younger cousin.

My uncle was right, he did raise a good daughter, and this "good" only refers to excellent academic performance.

Lin Ying, my uncle’s eldest daughter, is fifteen years older than me. She is thirty-five this year. She went to study in Singapore at the age of twenty-three, and it has been twelve years. Except for a return party when she got married, she has never been back. My uncle and aunt miss her, so they can only go to Singapore to visit her. Just like when they went to Singapore before, it was because Lin Ying gave birth to a second child, and the two elders missed her very much...Ms. Lin often complained to me about Lin Ying: "How come your uncle and aunt are so caring, but Lin Ying is so cold-hearted! Who has treated her badly from top to bottom? What’s the use of being educated? If she doesn’t return to her country and doesn’t care about her family, she is really an ungrateful person! She should be grateful for a dog!"

It's not surprising that Ms. Lin said that it was so unpleasant. I heard from my aunt that when Lin Ying was a child, her personality was still very lively. At that time, my uncle had not yet retired from the army, and my aunt took Lin Ying with him. Because she was the first child of my uncle and aunt, she was spoiled, and she was a tomboy. Who would have thought that her temper became more and more indifferent later; when Lin Shuang was born, she became even more like a person who didn't recognize her relatives. My uncle and aunt talked to her many times. My aunt was also afraid that Lin Ying would feel uncomfortable because the family had a second child, so she treated her better than before. Lin Ying still didn't appreciate it, and she became a headache for the entire Lin family for a while. After Lin Ying went to college, she almost never came back, and rarely came back during the Chinese New Year. Unlike my situation, I rarely come back because I need to work to support myself. Although my uncle and aunt told me to ask them for money if I didn't have money, how could I do that? I still have the ability to support myself. When Lin Ying didn't come back, she was just playing around. If she didn't have money, she would ask her uncle for money. My aunt had a photo album with all the photos of Lin Ying when she was in college. When my uncle and aunt missed Lin Ying, they would look at those photos. With the advancement of technology, my uncle scanned those photos onto his mobile phone and looked at them whenever he had nothing to do. My aunt's mobile phone screen saver was all Lin Ying. Lin Ying was the first master's student in the Lin family. During her graduate studies, she applied for a study abroad opportunity in Singapore. When my uncle and others knew the news, Lin Ying was already in Singapore...

No one knows why Lin Ying is like this. My uncle and aunt cried countless times for this. My uncle also wondered if Lin Ying had suffered something bad without their knowledge. Lin Ying told him: "Without those things, my life is too smooth, without any waves. You don't have to worry about me. I just need to live a good life." Later, my uncle also came to his senses. Maybe Lin Ying didn't belong to their family. She just borrowed her aunt's belly to come to the world... But he thought more open-mindedly. He would miss his daughter when it was late at night. If Lin Ying didn't come back, they would take the initiative to go. No matter how cruel Lin Ying was, she would not drive them away...

Perhaps it is because the two daughters of my uncle are at two extremes: one is smart but extremely indifferent, the other is silly but pure and enthusiastic, my uncle and aunt gave the same love to me and Cheng Xinyuan. My uncle has more than just the two nephews and nieces, but all the Lin family members know that Cheng Xinyuan and I are the only two special ones in front of my uncle and aunt. It is not only because Ms. Lin is my uncle’s closest sister, but also because Cheng Xinyuan and I are really competitive. I remember when my high school entrance examination results came out, my uncle wanted to tell everyone he met: "Hey, do you know who ranked first in the high school entrance examination this year? My niece!" During the college entrance examination, my uncle did not give up showing off: "Do you know how many points my niece got for taking one less subject!"

Cheng Xinyuan has no impression of this older cousin. The only few times they met were when he was a child. Most of the time, he learned about this cousin from the Lin family. He really has no good impression of her. If Cheng Xinyuan and Lin Ying stood face to face on the street one day, they might not recognize each other. Cheng Xinyuan's attitude towards Lin Shuang is also to treat her as a child. Sometimes he would complain: "Who is the older sister and who is the younger brother!"

Lin Shuang doesn't think so. Cheng Xinyuan is her only brother. She always wants to act like a sister in front of Cheng Xinyuan, but she always fails. In Cheng Xinyuan's words, "A 20-year-old wants to pretend to be 15 years old and mature. Isn't this funny~"

No matter how much he complained, Cheng Xinyuan still sided with his cousin, with the mentality of a brother towards his sister.

Ms. Lin came out of the kitchen and brought a large pot of fish soup: "Let my sister-in-law taste my cooking skills!"

A group of people sat happily around the dinner table. Qin Luotian and Yao Yuan were already familiar with the old uncle. The three boys kept toasting the old uncle. Ms. Lin wanted to stop them: "Drink less. These three are still children. How can they drink so much!"

The uncle waved his hand and said, "Don't try to persuade me! It's okay for boys to learn to drink early! When I was their age, my father and grandfather together couldn't drink more than me!"

My uncle is good in every way except for two shortcomings. One is that he likes to show off, and the other is that he likes to drink. When he drinks, his face gets red and he gets a little drunk and crazy...

Just like now:

The uncle's face flushed and he started to talk a lot. He put his right arm around Yao Yuan and his left arm around Qin Luotian, as if they were brothers: "Come often in the future! I have hidden those good wines, and even your aunt doesn't know where they are! Only I know! I don't give them to Yu Yu or Yuan Yuan, but I give them to you two! From now on, you two can call me uncle and you can say whatever you want when you go out! Lin Daiping is your uncle! No one dares to bully you!" The two children were so scared... they put their hands in their pockets, shrank their necks, and dared not move.

Everyone else, including Lin Shuang, looked used to it. My aunt picked up the dishes leisurely and said, "He's pretentious like a big clove of garlic. Last time he asked someone to tell him how many cigarettes he had hidden, and this time he asked the two children to talk about wine. Don't I know how much he has? If I wasn't in a good mood today, how could he have touched any of it?"

Over there, an old man and three children were drinking happily. Lin Shuang shared with me which boy band she was obsessed with recently. My aunt kept talking to Ms. Lin. I knew what she was saying without listening. She just said a few words to Ms. Lin, saying that I was her own daughter and no one could be nicer than me, and that she should not always pay attention to how outsiders see and evaluate her, and should pay more attention to the people around her. She said that being kind-hearted would only make people bully her more miserably... Finally, my aunt tapped Ms. Lin's forehead and said, "You are caring, but you always ignore your own daughter. You are heartless, but you always count your friends. You are an adult, but you always don't know the priorities..."

I have known my aunt's tricks since elementary school. I used to expect her to persuade Ms. Lin, but Ms. Lin always just said "hmm" perfunctorily and continued as usual. Gradually, I got used to it. My aunt still didn't give up. She even said to Ms. Lin: "If you don't want to take good care of Yuyu, why not give her to me!"

Of course, Ms. Lin would definitely disagree...

But now, Ms. Lin is no longer the same. She dared to confront Cheng Xingmin head-on, and she also dared to follow us to Cheng Antai's house to make trouble. After my aunt said this, Ms. Lin's perspective will definitely be different!

Ms. Lin smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, today is your birthday, I will tell you a good news to make you happy..." She picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, "I want to divorce Cheng Xingmin!"

"What!?" My aunt and uncle exclaimed at the same time. My uncle was so excited that he let go of the two children he was hugging. Qin Luotian and Yao Yuan felt relieved and quickly gathered around Cheng Xin.

"Are you serious?!" My aunt held Ms. Lin's hand, her voice trembling.

Ms. Lin nodded firmly, "This time it's really true!" She stood up from her seat, bowed solemnly to her aunt, and then bowed to her uncle, "Brother and sister-in-law, to be honest, I blamed you when my mind was confused before. I thought how much my brother and sister-in-law couldn't bear to see me doing well, and they always advised me to divorce. Especially brother, you agreed when I married Cheng Xingmin. After so many things, Lin Lin taught me a lot, and I also saw a lot clearly. Brother and sister-in-law, thank you for not giving up on me all these years, and thank you for always protecting Lin Lin. Without you, Lin Lin would not be alive today!"

At the end, Ms. Lin choked up and raised her glass: "This is a toast to you! Thank you!"

After saying that, she sat down and wiped her face: "Look at me, it's my sister-in-law's birthday but I'm talking about my own business. I'm really stealing the show. I'll drink a glass of wine as a punishment!" As she said that, she poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp...
