Chapter 241: Fighting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
For a moment, the two elders of the Lin family were fighting.
Lin Dachui did not hit Old Madam Lin. He only wanted to escape from her.
However, Old Madam Lin was in a rage at the moment.
She used all her strength to hit him, wishing she could lull Lin Dachui.
After being hit, Lin Dachui pushed her away, knocking her onto the table.
Old Madam Lin was not in good health to begin with. After hitting the table, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" There was a scream.
She did not get up. She slapped her thighs as she cried.
"Aiyo! Lin Dachui, you have no conscience. 1 gave birth to your children and served you for decades. Do you want to kill me?"
"You're so heartless! Damn you, Lin Dachui!"
The others in the room quickly tried to stop the fight by helping Old Madam Lin up.
However, she pushed them away.
At this moment, the people in the courtyard also heard the commotion.
Fourth Uncle Lin, Lin Dazhuang, Lin Erzhuang, Lin Dashan, and Lin Xiaoshan all ran back.
Seeing the situation, all of them felt a headache.
"The sky is getting dark, what are you waiting for? Do you not want to settle this matter?" Hei Gang suddenly said. His face was full of impatience.
Hearing this, the expressions of the Lin family members changed.
Even Old Madam Lin's wailing became softer.
First and Second Uncle Lin, who were standing beside Hei Gang, were even more terrified.
First Uncle Lin steeled his heart and hurriedly bowed to Hei Gang.
"Master Hei, wait a moment. I'll go and bring her over now." He said.
Why is his mother still making a fuss at this time?
For his youngest sister, was she going to disregard the entire Lin family?
The matter started because of his youngest sister. What was wrong with asking her to apologize?
All these years, his mother had doted on his younger sister. His wife had complained to him many times about being bullied by his mother and younger sister.
He thought that his youngest sister would get married sooner or later, so he never took his wife's words to heart.
But at this point, her mother was still protecting his younger sister. That was too much!
"Do it quick!" Hei Gang said unhappily.
"Yes, sir!" First Uncle Lin quickly ran into the room.
After entering the room, First Uncle Lin looked at Old Madam Lin.
"Master Hei is still waiting outside! If you don't want the Lin family to be lacked out of the village, then continue protecting her!"
Then, he looked at Lin Lanhua.
"How can you do this? If you don't come with us this time, we will never forgive you."
Before Lin Lanhua could react, Old Madam Lin almost died of anger.
Even her son was scolding her. He even humiliated her in front of so many people. Old Madam Lin immediately started to shout.
"You..."
But she was interrupted by First Uncle Lin.
"If you want to protect Lanhua, we won't stop father from doing what he said just now!"
The courtyard was next to the room and was not far away. He heard everything.
At this time, her mother was still protecting his younger sister and did not care about the life and death of the Lin family.
It would be better to let her leave with his younger sister!
Old Madam Lin's eyes widened.
"How can you say that?" Lin Lanhua quickly stood up.
First Uncle Lin immediately looked at Lin Lanhua in anger.
"What? Do you know Master Hei's reputation? If we offend him, the Lin family won't be able to live in peace, let alone stay in Daishi Village!
Chapter 242: Old Madam Lin's Decision
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"You're just a girl. At most, you'll marry far away. But what do you want us to do?"
First Uncle Lin then looked at his mother, who was already frightened by him.
"Mother, you can't be so biased. Or do you think that it's better to depend on a girl than us sons in the future?"
"Hmph, before this Lanhua was engaged to the second son of the Wu family who is a scholar. You could count on her to marry into the family and provide you with a good life. But now that the marriage has been annulled and everyone knows about it, who knows what's going to happen in the future?"
Lin Lanhua's face turned pale.
She understood her mother's personality?
She was doted on by her mother and had been pampered since she was young. It wasn't because her mother really doted on her. She just wanted to raise her well and use her to enjoy life.
Hence, she knew what to say to her mother to make her happy. She had become her mother's favorite child other than her fifth brother.
In order to exchange her for a good price, she was going to be married to a well-off widower.
If she hadn't stubbornly refused it and that there was a better candidate from the Wu family, she would have long become someone else's stepmother.
She was really satisfied with the Wu family.
Although the family wasn't very well-off, Second Master Wu was a scholar at a young age, so his future was bright.
She thought that she would be able to get married this time, but who would have thought that it would be ruined by Lin Xiaoyue, that b * tch.
It took a lot of effort for her to calm her mother down and say that the Wu family's matter might still be salvageable.
She could find a better family.
But now, her brother had exposed her.
He even said that her reputation was ruined and he did not know what would happen to her in the future.
As expected, Old Madam Lin stopped crying when she heard that.
Her face sank as she thought about it.
Old Madam Lin was an ignorant woman.
She always sided with those who did as she said and could provide for her.
In the past, she liked her daughter because she was obedient, filial, and pretty.
But...
Her eldest son's words made sense.
It was hard to say if the Wu family would take her daughter back. If not and she lost her reputation, who would want to marry her in the future?
It would still be many years before her fifth son could make a name for himself.
Weren't the only people she could rely on her eldest and second sons then?
At the thought of Hei Gang, a hint of fear flashed across her face.
She didn't know the person's background and that the situation would be so serious.
She quarreled with Lin Dachui just now because she was used to being the boss and couldn't stand Lin Dachui yelling at her.
She did not really want to go against the man outside, nor did she really want to harm the Lin family.
She was also a member of the Lin family. How could she harm herself?
First Uncle Lin waited for a while and she was still silent. He was starting to feel anxious when she finally spoke.
"Lanhua, go with your brothers," Old Madam Lin said in a deep voice.
Her expression became serious. She even stretched out her hand and gestured for the person beside her to help her up.
Jiang Shi and Deng Shi quickly went forward to help her, pushing away Lin Lanhua, who was still frozen in place.
"Mother!" Lin Lanhua quickly called out to Old Madam Lin.
Panic spread from her heart.
"I'm just asking you to apologize, why are you acting like this?" Old Madam Lin immediately glared at Lin Lanhua.
Her attitude was completely different from before..
Chapter 243: He is not a Garbage Collector
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Just go! With brothers around, the Liu family won't do anything to you." Jiang Shi glanced at Lin Lanhua.
This was the first time her sister-in-law was in such a predicament so of course she had to speak up.
Anyway, she was already at odds with her.
Deng Shi glanced at Jiang Shi.
"Yes! 1'11 save more food for you," she added.
Her husband was also implicated because of Lanhua. It was rare that her mother-in-law was not defending her.
It was time to speak up.
"Woo... you ..." Lin Lanhua panicked.
Lin Dachui shouted angrily.
"Why are you crying? Go now! I'll punish you if you make Hei Gang unhappy!"
After Old Madam Lin fought with him for Lin Lanhua, he was filled with anger.
He couldn't vent his anger on her wife, so he took it out on his daughter.
Lin Lanhua's body trembled.
Before she could plead for mercy, First Uncle Lin grabbed her forearm.
Then, he pulled Lin Lanhua out.
Everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as they were not implicated.
In the courtyard, Hei Gang was already getting impatient.
Second Uncle Lin stood cautiously beside Hei Gang, afraid that this man would suddenly get angry and hit him with his stick.
Fortunately, he saw his eldest brother dragging his youngest sister out.
Lin Lanhua cried so hard that she could barely see the road. She stumbled along the way. Finally, she arrived in front of Hei Gang.
"Master Hei, I brought her out." First Uncle Lin let go of Lin Lanhua and bowed to Hei Gang again.
Lin Lanhua was still crying, but she only dared to sob softly.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Hei Gang.
She was afraid. She was afraid that Hei Gang would take a fancy to her. She was even more afraid that she would be in danger later.
If Hei Gang knew that Lin Lanhua had such thoughts, he would probably feel disgusted.
He, Hei Gang, wasn't a garbage collector, so he wouldn't be interested in such a shrew.
"Let's go." Hei Gang only glanced at Lin Lanhua before looking away.
Then, he took the stick and left.
Hei Gang's three subordinates spread out and stared at the three Lin siblings.
"Let's go!" First Uncle Lin quickly gestured to his brother and Lin Lanhua to follow Hei Gang.
Second Uncle Lin and Lin Lanhua looked at each other and followed.
Hei Gang's three subordinates walked to the back and stared at the Lin siblings.
After leaving the Lin family's courtyard, Hei Gang got onto the carriage.
One of Gang Hei's subordinates immediately ran up from behind.
He got First Uncle Lin to lead the way.
First Uncle Lin obeyed respectfully.
The sky was already dark.
Fortunately, the moon was bright and clear.
The Lin family was not too far away from the Liu family. It did not take long for them to arrive.
When Li Xiao heard the commotion outside, he took Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi with him to wait outside.
"Li Xiao!" Hei Gang shouted at Li Xiao before they arrived.
"Hei Gang!" Li Xiao cupped his hands at Hei Gang from afar.
"Haha, sorry to keep you waiting! We wasted some time!" Hei Gang jumped down from the carriage.
"Not at all! Please come in!" Li Xiao invited him in.
He then signaled Xiao Qing to bring Hei Gang's men to park the carriage.
Xiao Qing bowed to Li Xiao and Hei Gang before walking towards the carriage..
Chapter 244: Meeting Gift
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"This way, please." He then said to one of I lei Gang's subordinates.
When he saw his subordinates leave with Xiao Qing, Hei Gang smiled and looked at Li Xiao.
"Is this your nephew?"
"Yes, he is Xiao Qing."
Hei Gang nodded.
"So polite. Not bad, not bad!" He praised Xiao Qing.
"Then.Js this Xiaoyue's little brother?" Hei Gang looked at Lin Xiaozhi.
"Yes."
Lin Xiaozhi was holding Li Xiao's hand at this time. Seeing the big man staring at him, he was a little scared.
However, after his brother-in-law tugged at his hand, he mustered up his courage and looked at Hei Gang.
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Hei Gang." Previously, his brother-in-law had told him that Hei
Gang was a friend of theirs.
"Ahaha!" Hei Gang laughed loudly.
"Nice to meet you!"
He was already twenty-two years old. If he had not married late, he might have had a son who was older than Xiaozhi.
As he spoke, Hei Gang reached into his pocket.
After rummaging through it, he found a golden peanut.
"Here, here's a gift for you! Take it!"
Hei Gang's two subordinates and the three Lin siblings were shocked.
The Liu family had hung a lantern at the entrance of the courtyard tonight. Master Hei actually gave the boy a golden peanut.
It was real gold! A tael of gold was worth 10 taels of silver!
If it was not hollow, it would probably be worth 2 taels of gold.
Even if it was, it would still be worth 7 to 8 taels of silver! What an expensive gift!
Hei Gang's two subordinates knew that Hei Gang valued Li Xiao and wanted to be on good terms with him.
Seeing this, they respected Li Xiao even more.
As for the three Lin siblings, while they were envious of Lin Xiaozhi, they felt even more anxious.
From the moment they realized Hei Gang came for the Liu family, they knew that Hei Gang had a special relationship with them.
He did not expect that they were that close.
He gave Lin Xiaozhi gold the first time he saw him. What kind of relationship did he have with the Liu family?
Lin Xiaozhi was surprised.
However, he did not take it and looked at Li Xiao instead.
He had never seen gold before and did not know the value of it. He simply liked the exquisite look of it.
Li Xiao smiled.
"Take it."
Lin Xiaozhi's face lit up immediately and took it from Hei Gang's hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Hei Gang!"
Hei Gang almost broke into laughter. He reached out his hand to touch Lin Xiaozhi's head.
"No need to thank me!"
If he had a son in the future, he would definitely be as cute.
"Don't stand at the door. Let's go in," Li Xiao said.
"Sure," Hei Gang responded and followed Li Xiao into the house.
Knowing that there would be guests at home today, the Liu family also placed a few lanterns in the courtyard, illuminating it.
Hei Gang observed the Liu family's courtyard along the way, his eyes filled with admiration.
"The structure of your courtyard is nice. It's also spacious!" Hei Gang said after seeing the big tree and the row of chairs below it.
Li Xiao smiled.
"Yes, it's all Yue'er's idea."
I lei Gang glanced at Li Xiao.
He was a little jealous of the smugness in his eyes..
Chapter 245: Entertaining the Guests
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This kid was indeed lucky. He had gotten such a capable and good-looking wife without any effort.
"Hei Gang is here!" Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyue's voice sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Xiaoyue coming out of the kitchen. She was still wearing an apron.
"Xiaoyue! I'm late! You've worked hard for us!" Hei Gang called out to Lin Xiaoyue.
"Hehe, not at all! I didn't prepare anything special. 1 hope you don't mind!"
The three Lin siblings were shocked.
Lin Xiaoyue was also close to Master Hei?
Why did they invite him here so late at night? Of course, it was to teach them a lesson!
At this moment, the three of them were extremely regretful.
If they had known that the Liu family had a relationship with Master Hei, they would not have caused trouble.
"As long as there's wine and meat!" Hei Gang laughed heartily.
"By the way, do you have any cold cakes? I would love to have two bowls!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
"Yes, it's already cut and placed on the table in the dining room!"
"Haha, great!" He quickly walked towards the room.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and asked Li Xiao to take care of Master Hei and the others before returning to the kitchen.
She saw the three Lin siblings following behind Hei Gang and pretended not to see them.
Li Xiao, Hei Gang, and the others entered the house.
He realized that there were two tables in the dining room.
There were already a lot of dishes on the table.
Hei Gang was all smiles when he saw a few bowls of cold cakes and two bottles of wine on the big table.
"I'm so jealous of you!" He said to Li Xiao.
Then, he went to get the cold cake.
Li Xiao smiled and did not reply.
He felt the same way. He had a great wife.
"Please sit down and eat first!" Li Xiao said to Hei Gang and the others.
Only then did everyone sit around the table.
After a while, Xiao Qing and the others came back.
Li Xiao called Xiao Qing over and formally introduced him to Hei Gang.
Hei Gang took out another golden peanut and gave it to Xiao Qing.
"Thank you, Uncle Hei Gang!" Xiao Qing bowed respectfully to Hei Gang.
"You're welcome. Sit down and have a drink with me!" He didn't expect that a boorish man like Li Xiao would have such an exquisite nephew.
These two children were very likable.
Xiao Qing's face instantly turned red as he looked at his uncle for help.
However, his uncle smiled.
"It's no big deal to have a drink. Uncle Hei Gang is very happy today!" He patted him on the shoulder.
Xiao Qing felt his shoulders sink and he almost lost his balance.
He shot a resentful glance at his uncle and quickly stood up straight, bowing to Hei Gang.
"Sure!"
"Haha! Nice! Come, 1 will pour one for you!"
The room was bustling with activity.
At the same time, the three Lin siblings were still standing outside.
All of them were nervous as they lowered their heads listening to the voices coming from the inside of the house.
They hoped that the Liu family would come out as soon as possible and accept their apology so that they could go home.
They also hoped that they would never come out and forget about them.
In the kitchen.
Lin Xiaoyue finally finished cooking the last dish.
"Let's go out for dinner too!" Lin Xiaoyue said to Liu Shi as she took the dishes out.
"Eh, alright!" Liu Shi got up from the stove.
After washing her hands, she followed her to the dining room..
Chapter 246: Godmother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as Liu Shi arrived, Hei Gang stood up.
"Thank you for making so much delicious food for us!"
The others also stood up and expressed their gratitude to Liu Shi.
Liu Shi blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing. I just lit the fire. It was all done by Yue'er! If you like them, eat more! Don't be shy!"
"Haha, we won't! Let me give you a toast!"
Liu Shi was overwhelmed by Hei Gang's enthusiasm and looked at her daughter.
She didn't drink alcohol.
"It's fine, mom. Just one glass! Hei Gang knows his limits." Lin Xiaoyue responded to Liu Shi and looked at Hei Gang as she spoke.
Hei Gang quickly laughed. "Haha, yes. I'll just have a drink. Please do me the honor."
Only then did Liu Shi agree and drink with Hei Gang and the others.
Then, Liu Shi followed Lin Xiaoyue to the other table.
Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi were also at the small table.
Xiao Qing was originally at the big table, but his alcohol tolerance was not good. He was allowed to come to the small table after he begged for it.
"Xiaoyue, you have skills! It smells good. The more I eat, the more delicious the dish becomes! What special seasoning did you put in this?" Hei Gang suddenly asked.
Hei Gang's subordinates also agreed.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
"Oh, I just added chili."
She liked spicy food. After adding chili to the dishes at home, she realized that everyone at home liked it, so she used a lot of it.
"Chili?" Hei Gang was puzzled.
"Yes. It's a kind of spice. It's spicy and tastes good in dishes!" Lin Xiaoyue explained.
Hei Gang suddenly reached out h and picked up a piece of dried chili from a dish.
"Is this it?" He picked it out and asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
"Yes!"
Hei Gang looked at the chili carefully and found that it did look like some sort of spice.
"It's good!" He said.
"Where did you buy it? I'll go back and ask my wife to buy some too."
He liked the taste of it a lot. He felt that he could eat one more bowl of rice.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you can't buy it. This item was bought from a traveling merchant by chance. Qingshi Town doesn't produce such spices," Lin Xiaoyue said.
Gang Hei immediately looked dejected.
His subordinates had similar expressions.
"But I still have some here. If you like it, I'll pack some for you to take home."
Hei Gang's face lit up.
"Heh, then thank you! How much did you buy it for? I'll pay double for it."
If it was something else, even if he liked it, he wouldn't want it if he knew that others only had a limited amount of it.
But he really liked chilis!
"Don't mention it!"
"Haha, good! You're generous!"
Hei Gang suddenly looked at Liu Shi, who was eating with a smile.
"Aunt Liu, I have a presumptuous request!"
Liu Shi was stunned and quickly put down her chopsticks.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she looked at Hei Gang nervously.
"Please tell me."
Hei Gang got up.
"I want you to be my godmother!"
Before the others could react, Hei Gang had already left the table and walked towards Liu Shi with a wine glass..
Chapter 247: The Shameless Hei Gang
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"My mother passed away when I was young. Seeing you today makes me feel at home. If my mother was here, she would look like you!"
"If you accept it, I will treat you as my own mother. In the future, Xiaoyue will be like my biological sister, and Li Xiao will be my brother-in-law!"
He admired Xiaoyue very much. As for Li Xiao, he really wanted to learn kung fu from him!
When Li Xiao became his brother-in-law, how could he not teach him?
Liu Shi looked a little flustered.
He wanted her to be his godmother?
She looked at her daughter and son-in-law in panic.
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
Li Xiao frowned and looked at Hei Gang.
He was only ten years younger than Liu Shi. Besides, he looked almost the same age as her.
Where did he get the nerve to ask her to be his godmother?
However-
Thinking of something, Li Xiao held back and did not say anything.
It was all thanks to him that the Lin family could be dealt with so easily.
In addition, Hei Gang was also a tyrant in Qingshi Town. It would be beneficial for the Liu family to have a good relationship with him.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
Hence, Lin Xiaoyue smiled at her mother.
"Mom, I think Hei Gang is quite sincere. If you don't mind, give Xiaozhi and I an older brother!"
She already knew that the two children had each received a golden peanut from Hei Gang.
He was not even related to the Liu family, yet he was so generous. If he really became Liu Shi's godson, there would definitely be many benefits in the future.
In the end, the Liu family was the one who benefitted.
"I..." Liu Shi was still hesitant. Actually, she was a little embarrassed.
"Yes! I mean it!" Hei Gang said shamelessly.
Liu Shi's face turned red again.
"Alright then..." She finally said.
Since her daughter supported it and her son-in-law did not object, she would accept it.
Her daughter had told her about Hei Gang in the kitchen just now.
This person had helped her son-in-law a lot and helped her daughter's business.
This time, he came to help them resolve the problem with the Lin family.
It was rare for others to think highly of her. What was there to think about?
Hei Gang was delighted.
He knelt down on one knee and handed the wine glass to Liu Shi.
"Godmother, please!" He said excitedly.
Liu Shi looked at the crowd and did not decline this time. She smiled and took the wine.
Then, she reached out to help Hei Gang up.
"Come, get up." She immediately became a mother to him.
Hei Gang's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Liu Shi who was supporting him, he actually felt motherly love.
"Hey, thank you, Godmother!"
Hei Gang was not in a hurry to return to the big table to eat.
He sat at the small table next to Liu Shi. He put food into her bowl and chatted with her.
Initially, Liu Shi was still a little distant and afraid of Hei Gang, but Hei Gang was a warm person. Moreover, he was already her godson, so Liu Shi gradually became less reserved.
After the meal, they were no longer strangers.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
Meanwhile, the Lin siblings outside...
When the three of them heard that Hei Gang had acknowledged Liu Shi as his godmother, they all only felt fear.
Master Hei had actually become Liu Shi's godson. Then how could they get away from this?
Especially Lin Lanhua. She really wanted to cry now..
Chapter 248: Apologetic
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Everyone finally finished their meal.
Hei Gang didn't let Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue clean up and wash the dishes.
Instead, he finally mentioned the three Lin siblings.
"Godmother, I've brought those three stupid things from the Lin family! You have the final say on how to deal with them!"
Liu Shi froze.
She looked at her daughter.
How would she know what to do?
She didn't want to waste her godson's effort by letting them off easy, but she didn't know what to do.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
"Let's go take a look first."
"Yes!" Hei Gang responded.
Together with Lin Xiaoyue, they helped Liu Shi out of the room.
The three Lin siblings waited until the Liu family came out.
Everyone came out, creating a lot of pressure for the three Lin siblings.
"Third sister-in-law! Wuuuu...I'm sorry! What happened in the morning...it was my fault, I was blinded by greed!
"I beg you to let me go this once!" Before First and Second Uncle Lin could speak, Lin Lanhua spoke first.
Liu Shi's expression was unreadable.
Lin Xiaoyue, on the other hand, looked at Lin Lanhua coldly.
"Who is your third sister-in-law? The Liu family has nothing to do with the Lin family anymore!"
Lin Lanhua's body trembled.
Since the incident, she was a little afraid of Lin Xiaoyue. Now, the feeling came back.
"Yes....Liu...Madam Liu...I'm sorry," Lin Lanhua quickly changed her words. She looked really pitiful.
However, no one in the courtyard pitied her, not even her brothers.
They only had resentment towards Lin Lanhua. If she hadn't asked them to come this morning, they wouldn't have caused trouble for Madam Liu.
Liu Shi's face was dark, but she still did not say anything. She left this matter to her daughter.
"You think you can get away by just saying a few words?" Lin Xiaoyue obviously didn't buy it.
Lin Lanhua panicked.
Then, she closed her eyes and knelt on the ground.
"Madam Liu, I am sorry! Please forgive me! I won't do it again!"
Then, she braced herself and kowtowed to Liu Shi.
Seeing her proud sister-in-law kowtow to her, Liu Shi felt a little uncomfortable.
She felt slightly pleased, a little emotional, and a little bad for her.
However, she still did not say anything and just watched.
Hei Gang and her daughter were the ones who brought them here for her.
She could not waste their efforts because of an outsider.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at her mother's expression. Although her mother was soft-hearted, she did not say anything. She was satisfied.
Then, she looked at Lin Lanhua, who was crying so hard that she couldn't stand up.
"I know about this. You came here to look for me."
Lin Lanhua's body stiffened.
"W000...I...I won't do...," she said quickly.
Before Lin Lanhua could finish, she was interrupted by Lin Xiaoyue.
"Please, I know you well enough," Lin Xiaoyue smiled contemptuously.
"When we were in the Lin family, you bullied us a lot. Oh, not only us, but also your other sisters-in-law," Lin Xiaoyue glanced at First and Second Uncle Lin..
Chapter 249: The Grudge Between Lin Lanhua and Her Eldest Brother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
First and Second Uncle Lin froze.
"Hmph, there are so many women in the Lin family, but you're the only one who's treated like a princess. You don't work in the fields and you don't do house chores. Not only that, but you still want to find trouble with others."
"Three years ago, Jiang Shi ruined one of your clothes and you tortured her in a different way. After that, when she returned to her maiden family, you even falsely accused her of stealing from the Lin family and caused her to be beaten. She was bedridden for five to six days and was almost divorced!"
First Uncle Lin was shocked and immediately looked at Lin Lanhua.
He remembered this.
At that time, his wife had stolen meat from home and was discovered by his youngest sister. The whole family knew about it.
Jiang Shi refused to admit it at that time, forcing him to slap her twice before she cried and admitted it.
At that time, his mother wanted him to divorce his wife. Of course, he could not agree to this.
His three children were not young anymore. If he divorced Jiang Shi, he would be single for the rest of his life.
Later on, they punished her physically and this matter was over.
After that incident, Jiang Shi was no longer as caring to him as before.
He thought that his wife was insensible. He protected her, but she was ungrateful. However, he did not expect that his wife was falsely accused.
When Lin Xiaoyue said that, he believed her.
Based on his wife's personality, why would she still be angry at him over this matter after so long?
He thought about it carefully now. Jiang Shi had been married to him for so many years and treated them sincerely. She had never taken anything from the Lin family back to her family. On the contrary, she would occasionally bring things back from her family.
Thinking of this, First Uncle Lin's expression changed.
Then, he immediately glared at Lin Lanhua.
"Is what Miss Lin said true?!" His voice was trembling.
He did dote on his youngest sister.
All these years, he knew that his youngest sister bullied his wife.
However, because his parents loved his youngest sister, he never took his wife's complaints to heart.
However, she was the one who wronged his wife and almost caused him to divorce her?
How rutheless...
Lin Lanhua looked flustered.
She wanted to refute Lin Xiaoyue's words, but Lin Xiaoyue was standing while she was kneeling. There were so many people around Lin Xiaoyue, so she really did not dare to argue with her.
That was enough.
In First Uncle Lin's eyes, this was an admission.
"You..." He was furious. He stepped forward and was about to attack Lin Lanhua.
However, Lin Xiaoyue stopped him.
"Stop!"
He looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
"Now, we have to settle the matter between you and the Liu family. If you have any grudges, go back and settle them later!" Lin Xiaoyue said coldly.
First Uncle Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he retreated.
Lin Lanhua heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, she was actually a little glad that Lin Xiaoyue had spoken up and saved her from being beaten up by her brother.-
Second Uncle Lin looked at First Uncle Lin with mixed feelings.
At the same time, he started to worry.
Lin Xiaoyue said that Lanhua not only bullied her eldest sister-in-law, but also her second sister-in-law. Could it be that his wife had also been framed by his youngest sister?
Thinking back to the many years he had been with Deng Shi, it was fortunate that he did not almost divorce his wife like his eldest brother.
Thinking of this, he felt more at ease.
Lin Xiaoyue saw his expression and smiled.
"Two years ago, Deng Shi's uncle and cousin came to borrow money. Of course, the Lin family was unwilling to do that and found a reason to reject it.."
Chapter 250: The Grudge Between Lin Lanhua and Her
Second Brother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Deng Shi couldn't stand it and gave her uncle and cousin a tael of silver before they left. Lin Lanhua saw that."
Lin Lanhua's body trembled, and sweat dripped down her forehead.
Second Uncle Lin frowned when he heard that.
His wife gave money to her maternal uncle and cousin?
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Second Uncle Lin's expression and a look of disdain flashed across her face.
"Lin Lanhua also overheard the conversation between the three of them. She learned that Deng Shi was engaged to her cousin before she married you." Second Uncle Lin's face instantly darkened.
"Heh, at that time, Deng Shi's uncle didn't manage to borrow money from the Lin family, so he was very angry. If they knew that Deng Shi would marry into such a family, they might as well let her and her cousin get married back then." Everyone immediately looked at Second Uncle Lin.
Second Uncle Lin clenched his fists, wishing he could immediately go home and give his wife a beating.
Lin Xiaoyue continued.
"However, Deng Shi loved you. She told her uncle not to spout nonsense and even said that you were the one who gave them the tael of silver."
Second Uncle Lin was stunned.
"Lin Lanhua didn't think so after hearing it. She thought that she had something on Deng Shi, forcing her to pay to keep her mouth shut." Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Lin Lanhua.
"How smart. She turned Deng Shi into her source of income."
"All these years, almost all the money she saved up has gone into her pocket." Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at Second UncleLin, who was frozen.
"Deng Shi said that you were the one who gave the money, it's not exactly wrong. Didn't you earn all the money you gave her?"
Second Uncle Lin's expression changed drastically, and he almost staggered. He did give her money all these years. He didn't even know the exact amount. However, he knew that it was not little.
When he occasionally needed money, he would ask Deng Shi for money and she always refused.
He thought that she was saving money. Now that he thought about it, perhaps she really did not have any money on hand.
The money that he, Dashan, and Xiaoshan had worked so hard to earn was gone? And it went into his youngest sister's pocket?
Second Uncle Lin could barely catch his breath.
Just this thought alone made him feel a little suffocated.
First Uncle Lin looked at his brother's reaction and felt a little lucky.
If what Lin Xiaoyue said was true, then his family didn't have any money at all...
Lin Xiaoyue retracted her gaze from Second Uncle Lin in satisfaction and looked at First Uncle Lin again.
"Also, about your children going to the academy..." Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Lin Xiaoyue continued, "back then, um...when Lin Yuanshan failed his first exam, Lin Dachui actually considered it."
"Although he didn't plan to let everyone go, Lin Dachui's idea at that time was to let one child from each of your families go." As for Lin Xiaoyue's family, Xiaozhi was only three years old at that time and was not considered.
"It's a pity. After Lin Lanhua heard him and Old Madam Lin discussing this matter, she immediately went to tell Lin Yuanshan about it."
"Lin Yuanshan...hehe, he's determined to be the only hope of the Lin family, so of course he wouldn't let that happen."
"So, he gave Lin Lanhua some benefits and the two of them went to talk to Old
Madam Lin. He convinced her to change her mind.."
