chapter 2408 lin xia's past (2)
lin xia's father shook his head. "even if you help her, she wouldn't survive in the lin family. don't bother to waste your time!
he was born and raised in the lin family, so lin xia's father knew how cruel the lin family is. these children has never been treated as the future and more like as tools that they could use as they wished.
at this moment, lin xia's father knew that his second daughter was about to die.
so what?
he didn't have any good talent.
the main reason why the family allowed him to survive was because his immunity was good when he was young and hoped that he could have a few more children. unfortunately, most children died before they could be born and in the end, he only have two daughters.
the other children that he had with his wife died not long after birth.
because when his wife was pregnant, she still has to stay and live in this environment full of poisons. this kind of environment was definitely not the best for a growing babies, but the lin family didn't care.
what they wanted was children who could survive and succeed them.
his first child, lin xia, was very good.
her immunity was strong and her talent was also good, allowing her to stay at the forefront among the other children around her age.
but his other children were not as good.
"father!" lin xia called out.
lin xia's father didn't respond and walked into his own room to rest. he still has some work to do tomorrow. the menial work in the lin family all fell to the family members who were not very talented, including lin xia's father.
even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything else but to follow this arrangement.
the young lin xia watched as her father left and the light in her eyes dimmed. she lowered her head and looked at her dying sister. her hand slowly took out the herbs she had smuggled and silently went to the kitchen.
detoxifying the poison in lin miao's body will make lin miao's life more difficult tomorrow.
but at this moment... the young lin xla just hoped that his sister could survive.
"sister..." the young lin miao looked at her older sister and showed a smile on her young face. "i'm fine, sister. you can focus on your study and don't wolly about me."
hearing her younger sister wrong spelling, the young lin xia laughed. because the young lin miao's intonation was not very good, she often mistake one word for another.
this time, it was not an exception.
seeing her sister laughing, the young lin miao seemed to realize her mistake and raised her hand to cover her mouth. she glared at her sister with her watery eyes and the young lin xiao quickly apologized to her sister.
from the slightly opened door at the side, the young lin xia's father watched this scene.
he shook his head and closed the door again.
why should they struggle?
from the moment they were born in the lin family, their fate has been decided and there was no way out.
those who dared to defy the lin family and broke the family rules would suffer. even if they were the so called genius of the era, these elders would not care. they didn't want anyone to break their rules.
just like how their elders also punished them deeply when they were young.
"i'll go out to study first, miao'er'', the young lin xia rubbed her sister's head and said slowly.
"yes, sister!"
there wouldn't any poison given to the young lin miao today since it would be impossible for these children to digest the poison every single day. they would be given the break when they were still four years old and when they reached five, they would have to drink poison everyday.
when she thought about this, the young lin xia raised her head to look at her parents' room.
from the time when she was young until now, the young lin xia never experienced her family's care.
they never tried to help her.
not when she cried, not when she was in pain...
perhaps, they have never been a real 'family' and only people who were bound by blood relationship but not emotions.
