Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 163

Upon receiving the notification from Lin Yimin, the various members of the Lin family, sitting in different places but at the same time, all tuned in to the TV. As they saw Lin Mengting, her hair tousled by the fierce wind yet still managing to look dazzlingly radiant, their hearts felt like they were caught in a tumultuous storm.

Grandpa Lin Among the younger generation of the Lin family, none of the grandsons have achieved as much as this girl, Lin Mengting. Truly a pity!

Second Uncle Lin Being on TV, holding exhibitions, writing memoirs… What does it matter? In the end, she’s just going to marry into another family. A daughter married off is like water spilled out, bringing no benefit to our own family!

Aunt Lin What era are we in? Still advocating for “legitimate sons and grandsons,” and ingraining “male superiority” into our bones.

Look at this, they’ve pushed away a girl who could have transformed the entire Lin family’s reputation and supported the family’s honor in every way!

Now, Lin Mengting is only 18!

How many 18-year-old girls can achieve such brilliant success? Especially since Lin Mengting is a self-taught talent!

If the elders had listened to advice and nurtured Lin Mengting’s artistic talents early on, who knows, she might be standing on the international stage now, instead of merely participating in local “cultural exchange” events.

Uncle Lin Born into the Lin family, it’s truly a shame for Lin Mengting! If she were in my family, we’d have spared no effort in nurturing her talent!

Second Aunt Lin If only she were my daughter!

Third Uncle Lin Indeed, my wife was right; Lin Mengting has become too “big-hearted.”

Such an important matter, and she didn’t think to notify us in advance!

If she had, we could have included my son in the delegation for some “gold plating.” With some effort, even if my son’s grades were poor, he could have secured a spot in a top school!

Third Aunt Lin I never thought my long-term plan to portray Lin Mengting as a “bookish fool, socially inept, and blunt to the point of making many enemies within the Lin family,” would fail!

However, on second thought, this outcome isn’t so bad after all.

The higher Lin Mengting’s achievements, the greater the benefits our family will reap!

——Since the main Lin family lacks a son, they will have to choose one from our three sons to be adopted.

No matter which son is chosen, he can leverage Lin Mengting’s “glory” to quickly rise to a position of great respect. Thus, Lin Mengting’s “brilliant” stance and behavior are merely “preparing a wedding dress” for our family!

As for whether Lin Mengting will agree?

Is there any doubt?!

As long as those two old men of the Lin family live, no matter how high Lin Mengting flies, she will have to accept two choices either refuse her “responsibility” as the eldest daughter of the main Lin family to “support the younger generation,” or be forced to drag the Lin family along until all her value is exhausted and she is discarded.

Fourth Uncle Lin I’ve always said that Lin Mengting has a remarkable “talent” worthy of significant investment, which will surely yield rich returns in the future.

But no one believed it, thinking that “girls will marry out eventually, so there’s no need to invest heavily in them,” steadfastly believing in the nonsense that “well-educated girls only benefit other families”!

What era is this? The slogans “gender equality” and “women can hold up half the sky” have been chanted countless times and upheld by everyone, yet our family still clings to the notion of “legitimate sons and grandsons” inheriting.

At the very least, let Lin Mengting take charge and “recruit a husband” to uphold the family name!

Fourth Aunt Lin Fortunately, I have a son! Otherwise, watching a beloved daughter being forced into society early and achieving everything on her own would have broken my heart!

Fifth Uncle Lin This girl Lin Mengting is really…

If only Lin Mengting had reached out to me back then, I would have taken a train home immediately, regardless of my busy schedule, to convince the family to nurture her talent!

Fifth Aunt Lin Luckily, though I also have a daughter, we’ve always worked outside the hometown. We rarely visit home, no more than five days a year.

Avoiding the “male superiority” indoctrination from the elders is as simple as using “work is busy” as an excuse to visit only once every few years.

Thus, the elders couldn’t interfere too much in our lives, nor force our daughter to drop out or marry early like Lin Mengting or push her into society after a basic education.

Meanwhile, Yu Fengqing’s family, Lin Mengting’s maternal grandparents, having received the notification, also eagerly watched the TV.

Grandfather Yu Those “blind” idiots of the Lin family! They almost destroyed a rare “genius”! “Male superiority,” “worthless daughters,” “legitimate son inheritance”? What nonsense!

Grandmother Yu These years, she’s been filled with regret and remorse!

If only she had investigated the Lin family more thoroughly and laid out the potential problems before Yu Fengqing married into the family. Even if Yu Fengqing loved Lin Yimin deeply, she wouldn’t have rushed into marriage without proper preparation!

Otherwise, how could Yu Fengqing have suffered for so many years?

Fortunately, with Lin Mengting’s outstanding achievements, described as “brilliant” and “exceptional,” the Lin family no longer dares to neglect her. Yu Fengqing’s later years will be well taken care of.

In a way, it’s a case of “bitterness ending in sweetness.”

Her heart, which had been suspended in anxiety, could finally rest at ease.
