Chapter 223 was padded with water.
But Lin's father was unwilling to take the blame: "How can this be my fault? I didn't do anything. Who knew that such a young child could have such ingenious ideas?"
"Yes, you did nothing, you did nothing, but someone pushed your daughter into the river, and you did nothing, but they wanted to be your daughter."
“I’m telling you, you old geezer, you’re shameless. It’s clearly your fault, but you won’t admit it. If it weren’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t have turned out like that.”
The elderly couple were about to start arguing when Lin Cai quickly told them to stop and continued explaining what had happened.
Lin's mother said that the high fever was caused by another child, who was also a little girl and was only five years old at the time.
The little girl had no father, only a mother, and wanted to find a father for herself. So the little girl fell in love with Lin's father from back then.
Not only did the little girl fall for Lin's father, but her mother also took a liking to him.
The little girl didn't understand anything; she only knew that what her mother said was good for her, so she simply kept it in mind.
It's probably because the girl's mother often talked about Lin's father when she came home, and the girl remembered it.
Then, seeing how Lin's father doted on Lin Cai, she wondered if she could have whatever she wanted if he were her father.
For this reason, a perfectly normal young girl had a wicked idea.
Lin Cai, who was only three years old at the time, developed a high fever that night after being rescued, which did not subside until the afternoon of the next day.
Later, he recovered and was fine, but he forgot everything that happened before he was three years old.
Lin Cai frowned again upon hearing this.
It's not uncommon for a high fever at the age of three to cause a person's personality to change drastically, but Lin's mother and others said that Lin Cai's change at that time was not just a simple matter of personality change.
Because Lin Cai, after waking up, didn't like anyone in her family, no matter who they were.
She wanted the best of everything, both food and clothing. She would rather throw away than give away anything she couldn't finish.
Occasionally, when she's in a good mood, she might share her leftovers with others, but she would never share them with her family.
Lin Cai frowned, looking at the elderly couple, and blurted out the question she wanted to ask: "With such a change, didn't you ever have any doubts?"
The elderly couple remained silent after hearing this. Didn't they have any doubts?
They certainly had their suspicions, and not just once, but they examined the child countless times and found nothing amiss.
Neither the couple knew what had gone wrong, because the child in front of them was their child, but they didn't know why his personality had changed so much after he got sick.
Because of this, Lin's mother almost killed the mother and daughter. If it weren't for them, her daughter would still be fine and wouldn't have changed so drastically.
"You've all noticed something's wrong, so why didn't you suspect anything? Could it be that you..."
“Your father and I had our suspicions, and even your older brothers had theirs, but the body is yours. It wasn't switched or anything like that. Even if we…”
Lin's mother's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs. She really didn't know how she had gotten through that period of time.
"what about now?"
Lin Cai looked at them and continued, "So what do you think now?"
She warmed her hands over the charcoal fire and then asked, "My personality has changed too, I'm sure you've all noticed by now, haven't you?"
"But why haven't you made a move? Are you confirming the situation or waiting for the right moment?"
She just blurted it out, catching the elderly couple off guard. Lin Cai didn't care whether they could accept it or not, and without waiting for their reply, she continued.
"When I woke up, my head hurt a lot; I must have hit my head earlier."
"Later, my attitude towards the Gu family and towards you all changed. Didn't you have any doubts at all?"
Lin's father and mother didn't know why Lin Cai suddenly wanted to confront them, but they had now heard what Lin Cai said.
A sense of panic inexplicably arose in their hearts, especially Lin's mother, who stared at Lin Cai with wide eyes.
"What's there to doubt? Why should we doubt you? You are my daughter, why would I doubt you?"
"No matter how your personality changes, as long as you are called Lin Cai, as long as you are still Lin Cai, then you are my daughter."
Lin Cai understood. Her mother meant that she only recognized this body. No matter who the soul inside the body was or what kind of person it was, as long as the body belonged to Lin Cai, it was still her daughter.
She turned to look at Lin's father: "Dad, is that what you think too?"
Lin's father did not answer the question. Lin Cai looked down at the charcoal fire and said, "Okay, I understand."
She looked up at her parents and said, "Don't worry, I am Lin Cai, and I am your daughter."
As long as I don't leave this body, I will always be Lin Cai, the youngest daughter of the Lin family in Gujia Village.
On the way back, Lin Cai stopped, looked up at the sky, and snowflakes fell from it and landed on her face.
The coldness of the snowflakes didn't bother Lin Cai. She just stared at them for what seemed like an eternity before a cloak appeared on her shoulders, and that's when she realized what was happening.
"Why are you here?"
"I was getting ready to go out when I saw a snowman here, so I came over."
"It's just a little snow, how come it becomes a snowman in your mouth!"
Lin Cai tightened the cloak on her shoulders; it was quite warm inside, probably because he had just taken it off himself and given it to her.
She looked at him in his coarse black linen clothes: "Aren't you cold?"
"chilly!"
"Then why did you give me your cloak?"
Lin Cai said this, but instead of taking off the cloak and returning it to him, she grabbed both sides and wrapped it up.
"Seeing you standing here, I wanted to warm you up, so I didn't care whether you were cold or not."
Lin Cai wrapped her cloak tighter around herself, looked up at him, and asked, "Gu Zhan, have you ever pursued a girl before?"
"No, why do you ask that?"
Lin Cai lifted her foot and walked forward: "It's nothing, I just thought you were pretty good at it, so I just wanted to ask."
Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this answer: "I used to be rather cold and very boring. No girl liked me."
Lin Cai felt that this person was embellishing his words, just like this sentence, which definitely contained eight ounces of water.
If no one really likes her, then isn't Gu Jiao'er a person?
That woman had contacted him several times for his sake, which caused her a lot of trouble.
