Old Mrs. Lin had long been dissatisfied with the way the first wife and her husband treated their little girl like a treasure all day long.

We were not allowed to do any work, let alone go to the fields to earn work points. It was no use telling us many times.

Fortunately, this girl is really good-looking, so she thought of raising her at home, hoping that she would be able to marry into a good family in the future with her good looks.

Unexpectedly, this girl suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had to help her family earn work points, and it was a good job as a scorekeeper.

She was so happy when she first heard the news.

But when she thought about what the second son and his family said, Old Mrs. Lin felt a little embarrassed to face the eldest son's family.

But for the sake of the second brother's family, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Ran girl, you're not young anymore, you're almost getting married. Why are you still going out to work now?"

"By then, the fair and tender skin you've kept for so many years will be tanned. How will you ever look at others in the future?"

After hearing this, Lin Ran already understood their intention of coming here.

However, Shen Wenfang was not happy to hear this and spoke first:

"Mom, Ranran is still young. We want to keep her for a few more years. Why are you saying this in front of the child?"

Even Lin Weiguo looked displeased.

"That's right, it's still early!"

Seeing this, Old Lady Lin looked disapproving.

"What do you know? As the old saying goes, children are debts. If you keep them, they will become hatred."

"Ran girl is seventeen this year, right? She's not young anymore. Some girls in our brigade start looking for marriage when they're fifteen or sixteen. If you wait too long, all the good families will be picked up."

The more Lin Weiguo listened to this, the more he felt uncomfortable, so he interrupted directly:

"Mom, why do you keep talking about this? Anyway, Ranran's mom and I both want to wait a few years before we talk about it. So please stop talking about it."

After being refuted again and again, Mrs. Lin became a little unhappy.

"Isn't this all for your own good? After all, I'm Ran's grandmother, how could I possibly harm her?"

Lin Weiguo obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He couldn't explain it to Old Lady Lin, so he changed the subject:

"Mom, you guys can't possibly come here so late at night just to talk about this, right?"

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll take you back. You're all tired after a day and need to rest. You have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people in Lin Wei's family became anxious and quickly winked at Old Lady Lin.

Old Mrs. Lin had no choice but to finally tell them the real purpose of their visit tonight.

"It's like this. I thought Ran had been raised at home for so many years, and she's about to get married, so I might as well just keep her at home. As for the scorekeeper job, I'll let Meng do it."

When these words were spoken, the Lin family was stunned. They obviously did not expect that Old Lady Lin would make such a request.

Only Lin Ran remained expressionless, after all, he had guessed it before.

She gently broke free from Old Lady Lin's hand and said with a smile:

"Grandma, my cousin seems to be one year older than me. She must be eighteen this year, right? If we're talking about marriage, my cousin should be the first to say it. Otherwise, people will laugh at me for being eager to get married."

But Mrs. Lin disagreed.

"How can your cousin's round face compare to yours? She doesn't come from a good family anyway. She might as well stay at home and earn a few more work points."

Seeing that Old Lady Lin's expression did not seem fake, and that it was obvious that she really thought so, Lin Ran felt a little sympathetic to Lin Meng.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Meng, and sure enough, she saw that she was pursing her lips, with her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking, but her clenched hands at her sides betrayed her mood.

Lin Meng does look very ordinary, not to mention her sallow complexion caused by long-term malnutrition.

Her biggest facial flaw is that she inherited Li Guilan's round face and flat nose.

That's why she kept her hair in a student style, trying to cover her face so that it would look smaller.

The only thing that's okay is her eyes, as she inherited the double eyelids from the Lin family.

Old Mrs. Lin was patriarchal to begin with. Even if she favored Second Uncle Lin, she still looked down on the unattractive Lin Meng, thinking that her looks would prevent her from achieving anything in the future and that she would not be able to help the family.

Therefore, she turned a blind eye to the Lin Wei couple's behavior of exploiting Lin Meng, and even joined in. It can be imagined how difficult Lin Meng's life was.

But even so, Lin Ran would not be so generous as to give up the job she had worked so hard for, especially to someone who was obviously problematic, so she pretended to persuade him:

"Since grandma is worried, then we should arrange a marriage for my cousin sooner rather than later. She still has the advantage of being young and can choose the right person. Otherwise, wouldn't it be even harder to find a husband after two years?"

As soon as Lin Ran said this, Grandma Lin fell into deep thought.

Lin Meng's expression was even uglier, and the look he gave Lin Ran was like a knife.

But Lin Ran looked calm and had no guilt at all.

She knew without a second thought that Grandma Lin must have been instigated by Lin Meng to do this. If that was the case, then don't blame her for speaking harshly.

At this time, Lin Weiguo and the others finally came back to their senses from their daze.

Shen Wenfang was almost furious. She said that the second branch's family would never come to her house for no reason. She didn't expect that they came tonight just to be thinking about her family's Ranran's scorekeeper.

Now hearing Lin Ran say this, he immediately agreed:

"That's right, if you can't stand staying at home anymore, just get married."

"Mom, what was that phrase you just said? Children are debts. If you keep them, they'll become enemies, right? I think it's quite appropriate to use it on my second brother's family."

"Look, doesn't this make Meng Yatou an enemy?"

"It's not enough that they're harming their own family, but they're actually trying to harm our first wife. What's their plan? Are they trying to sow discord between our two families?"

Shen Wenfang was not stupid, so she naturally guessed that what happened tonight must be related to Lin Meng and her daughter.
