The next morning, Lin Shih-Han washed up in her space, ate breakfast, and went out, only to see Granny Li cooking in the kitchen.

I thought this mother and son didn't need to eat.

Leaning against the kitchen doorway, watching Granny Li cook.

"Wow, I didn't know you could cook!"

I thought you couldn't cook.

Before, he had two daughters-in-law to serve him, but now he doesn't even have one. Tsk tsk, how pitiful!

Think about the future, your third son will also go to jail, won't you be left to grow old alone?

"In my opinion, you should go in early and wait to reunite with your sons."

Granny Li's mood was ruined by her all morning; what bad luck!

You can't drive them away, you can't beat them with a fight, and you can't out-argue them with a verbal argument.

No, she had to find a good way to get rid of this woman as soon as possible.

This woman is a menace to their family; she's brought ruin to the entire Li family.

Granny Li was already thinking about how to kill her silently.

Only in this way can we prevent future troubles.

Lin Shih-Han had just entered the mountain when Chen Jiang, Chen Yu-Ting, and Chen Hong-Hong arrived.

They need to come here to find books; without books, they can't go to school.

"Old Lady Li, where is Lin Shih-han?"

Granny Li was eating with one hand when she heard Chen Jiang calling from outside. She had only taken a couple of bites when she heard him calling from outside.

He went out in a huff, and seeing Chen Jiang and his two sons made him even angrier.

"Shout, shout, shout! What are you shouting for?"

You ask me? Who should I ask?

He's never home early in the morning; who knows what he's doing out there?

Is this the fine daughter your Chen family has raised?

After finishing her sentence, Granny Li looked at Chen Yuting and Chen Hongwei. No matter how she looked at them, they were not as good-looking as her eldest grandson.

Compared to her eldest grandson, she is worlds apart.

Chen Jiang was even better when he heard that Lin Shih-han wasn't here.

Where is her house?

I need to go into her room to get something.

When Granny Li heard him say that, she immediately became interested.

He pointed to Lin Shih-Han's room and showed it to them.

He was secretly laughing to himself, knowing that Lin Shih-han's expression would be quite a sight when she returned.

Chen Jiang, Chen Yuting, and Chen Hongwei rushed into Lin Shihhan's room.

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to conduct a thorough search.

They were stunned when they went in.

The room was empty except for a tattered quilt on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Not to mention that there wouldn't be any cabinets or desks.

You could see everything inside at a glance; there was nothing on the floor. Lin Shih-han, that woman, actually lived in a house like this?

The group exchanged glances; this was definitely not her room.

The three of them stepped back and looked at Granny Li, asking her questions.

"Is this really Lin Shih-Han's house?"

Why is there nothing in this room?

Granny Li snorted.

"If she doesn't live in that house, where could she live?"

Chen Yuting pointed to the room.

"But there was nothing in that room, how could it be her room?"

There wasn't even a single piece of her clothing left, and the tattered quilt on the kang (heated brick bed)—did she even know how to use it?

Chen Yuting's words reminded Granny Li that what she said made a lot of sense!

That woman is so arrogant, does she really sleep under such a tattered blanket?

The quilt was made of old cotton that had been sitting for years, so it was stiff and had many patches on it.

Would she really use a blanket like that?

Needless to say, she already knew the answer in her heart: it was definitely impossible.

So here's the question: if she doesn't use a blanket, where does she usually sleep?

The more Granny Li thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

"That's Lin Shih-han's room. Would I lie to you?"

There are only three rooms in this courtyard, and one of them, the main room, is mine.

The other three rooms are occupied by the eldest son, the second eldest son, and the third eldest son.

Lin Shih-Han lived in the third child's room; where else could she live?

But there was nothing in that room!

Chen Hongwei frowned.

Their books aren't in the house. Did that woman throw them away?

"She didn't have it in her room to begin with, so what are you looking for?"

Chen Jiang immediately said:

"We're not looking for anything, we just came to see how she's living."

I never expected her to live in such poor conditions. Your Li family has gone too far.

But you did a good job!

That brat doesn't deserve to live in a nice house; she should live in that kind of shabby place.

I'd be being generous by letting her sleep in the woodshed; you don't know, she's always lived in the woodshed in our house!

Hearing him say that, Granny Li was surprised.

"She actually lives in the woodshed in your house?"

Your family treats her very well.

"By the way, I heard that your Hongwei is dating Secretary Kang's daughter. He's really lucky!"

Chen Jiang blurted it out.

"Where did Secretary Tang get his daughter?"

He only has one son; he has no daughters whatsoever.

Upon hearing that Secretary Kang's family had no daughters, Granny Li immediately jumped up in anger.

"That brat even said that your Hongwei is dating Secretary Kang's daughter."

It was all a lie all along; I knew he wouldn't have the good fortune.

Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment when he heard her say that, and then his face darkened.

"What are you saying, Granny Li? My son is not dating Chen Jiang's daughter."

But at least I know Secretary Kang's son.

My son isn't lucky enough, but your grandson is?

Old Lady Li had just blurted it out, but now, hearing Chen Jiang say this, she chuckled and said:

"I said the wrong thing."
