Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Reflecting on the past, Zhang Mei now realized that Lin Miao had indeed told many lies. How could she have been so naive? But what was she to do now? It wasn’t possible to completely abandon Lin Miao, was it?

With no other options, Zhang Mei turned to her husband, Gu Shan, who heaved a deep sigh. He defended Lin Miao, saying, “Yes, Miao Miao has made many mistakes, but it’s because Gu Zi has been living her life. Miao Miao feels it’s unfair, which is why she developed a vengeful mindset. As long as Miao Miao doesn’t end up in prison, she will be grateful to you, grateful to Gu Zi. She won’t make any more mistakes.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hua couldn’t help but laugh. She picked up the items the Gu family had brought and placed them in front of Gu Shan and his wife. Mother Lin said, “Take your things and leave. We’ve made our stance clear today. Because of Lin Miao’s theft, Zi Zi has had to bear responsibilities she shouldn’t have had to, and has ended up marrying into the countryside. Now that Lin Miao might end up in prison, Zi Zi has no obligation to forgive her.

“Furthermore, Zi Zi hasn’t stolen anyone’s life. Both our families are well aware of the fact that it was our negligence that led to the children’s lives being switched. Why must we insist that Zi Zi stole Lin Miao’s life just because our Lin family is poorer than the Gu family?

“But if the two girls hadn’t been switched at birth, our Lin family, due to lack of money, would have let Gu Zi, the younger sister, have the opportunity to go to school instead of Lin Cheng. But we wouldn’t say that Gu Zi or Lin Miao stole Lin Cheng’s life. We didn’t have the ability to foresee the future, so why blame

Gu Zi, who had no choice in the matter at the time?”

Zhang Mei’s heart pounded in her chest as Mother Lin interrogated her. She struggled to keep her emotions in check and was about to retort when her husband, Gu Shan, stopped her. He said to Mother Lin, “You’re right, we shouldn’t blame Gu Zi. That’s not what we meant. We came here today with a simple goal – to save Lin Miao. She’s made mistakes, but she doesn’t deserve to go to prison. ”

Mother Lin scoffed, “If you think Lin Miao’s mistakes aren’t serious enough to warrant prison, then go talk to the police directly. They won’t reject a legitimate request.

“But we can’t help, and I can’t just stand by and watch Gu Zi swallow this injustice. Gu Zi may be living a good life now, but that doesn’t mean Lin Miao hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Mother Lin wasn’t dissatisfied with Su Shen; she was grateful that Gu Zi had met him.

But no mother would willingly let her daughter marry a twice-divorced man with three children, especially under the harsh condition that she not bear her own children. Gu Zi had married in Lin Miao’s place, all because of that three thousand yuan. Had the Gu family ever considered Gu Zi’s feelings?

Whether the Gu family thought about these things now was no longer important. If they wouldn’t consider Gu Zi’s feelings, she could do it herself. Now that everyone had returned to their own families, she had no lingering attachment to Lin Miao.

Gushan and Zhang Mei’s faces turned pale, a stark contrast to their previous expectations. They had never imagined that this gentle rural woman would speak with such firm resolve.

Before they could muster a response, they noticed Su Shen and Gu Zi entering the room. Having just spoken ill of Gu Zi, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei felt a pang of guilt. They hoped that Gu Zi and Su Shen had not overheard their conversation.

Upon seeing them, Su Shen remained silent while Gu Zi calmly approached and said, “Uncle Gu, Aunt Zhang Mei, have you come to plead for Lin Miao again? You should be speaking directly to me about this matter, not my parents. And I won’t be swayed. Lin Miao must take responsibility for her actions. It’s for the best.”

Zhang Mei felt a bitter irony.

Zhang Mei questioned. “You weren’t like this before. Why are you so insistent on sending your sister to jail?”

Gu Shan shook his head, pleading earnestly, “Gu Zi, there’s a saying, ‘Where you can spare, you should spare.’ Can’t you let Lin Miao off just this once?”

Gu Zi’s eyelashes fluttered as she retorted, “Uncle Gu, Aunt Zhang, you both helped raise me. Don’t you think that if this matter wasn’t serious, I would let Lin Miao off for your sake?

“You only blame me for being heartless, for wanting her to go to jail.. But have you ever considered that if she hadn’t done this, even if I truly wanted to take revenge on her, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity?”
