Chapter 558 Max Level Green Tea

Seeing Qin Shi's headache, Old Madam Lin sent her away and wanted to have a private talk with Lin Yuesha.

"Yue Sha, Grandmother heard that you don't really want to go back to the Lin family. Why is that?"

Grandma Lin chatted with Lin Yuesha, emphasizing that as a member of the Lin family, she had to acknowledge her ancestry. Moreover, with the Lin family's protection, Lin Yuesha could secure a good marriage.

"Your mother is really something, she has no good fortune. If she hadn't remarried, Grandmother could have arranged for her to be brought back. But given the current situation, how can Grandmother even bring it up?"

Old Mrs. Lin had never met Chen Shi. It wasn't until her son delivered a letter to the high school in Beijing that she learned her son had married into the Chen family. She felt disgusted by the Chen family's attempt to take advantage of her kindness.

No man with any backbone would become a live-in son-in-law, especially since the Lin family is a family of farmers and scholars, and her son is a proper scholar.

Lin Yuesha was embarrassed. Old Mrs. Lin was bragging without fear of making things worse. She exaggerated the Lin family's status to the heavens and the earth, when in reality they were just relatively wealthy farmers. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to afford to send her scumbag father to school.

“Grandmother, my mother had it tough too. She was gossiped about and remained a widow for over ten years. Who knew my father was still alive?”

Lin Yuesha said indifferently, "Old Madam Lin keeps blaming her mother, Chen, but she doesn't realize that her son is in the wrong first."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Your father is in a difficult situation, and your grandmother has only just arrived in the capital and has finally gained some influence, but then your mother remarried!"

According to Old Mrs. Lin's wishes, she should at least remarry into a good family, but she just couldn't accept that she had to marry a sickly man. What if he suddenly passed away? Wouldn't she then become a widow again?

Old Mrs. Lin spoke from the heart and had no intention of hiding anything. She knew perfectly well why she hadn't been brought to the capital over the past ten years.

"What did your mother gain by remarrying and finding you a stepfather?"

Old Mrs. Lin sighed, lamenting that Chen was not destined for a life of luxury. She had finally managed to get ahead, only to be sent to another family. If she were taken to the Lin family, she would enjoy endless wealth and honor.

"Perhaps it's true love."

Lin Yuesha pondered for a moment. She originally wanted to please Old Madam Lin, but she was too lazy to listen to the sarcastic remarks from those who didn't understand the situation. If it weren't for her scumbag father faking his death first and all sorts of scheming, things wouldn't have been so complicated.

Grandma Lin opened her mouth wide, seemingly not expecting her well-behaved granddaughter to say such a thing.

“Grandmother, in the past ten years or so, I have stayed in the North and have hardly learned any manners. I have no taboos in my speech. It is because I am close to you that I have become a little presumptuous.”

Lin Yuesha had argued with Old Madam Lin, and was desperately trying to make amends for herself, feeling incredibly angry inside.

"Grandma, I can actually understand Miss."

Xiao He, who was behind Old Madam Lin, spoke up. She smiled at Lin Yuesha and said in a biased tone, "My maidservant married such a scoundrel, and my mother died early. No one taught me manners, and I don't even know about menstruation."

The maid Xiaohe smiled bitterly. It was her first time menstruating, and she thought she had an incurable disease.

"Do you remember when I ran away from home to find you? You were the one who made me a menstrual pad."

As soon as Xiao He, the maid, opened her mouth, Lin Yuesha immediately judged her to be a master of manipulative tactics, her words were so scheming and manipulative, but the old lady Lin just fell for it.

“Xiao He, what do you mean by servant? In my heart, you are just like my granddaughter. I watched your mother grow up.”

When the topic of Xiaohe's mother came up, Old Mrs. Lin was moved. If it weren't for the misfortune that happened to the family next door, Xiaohe's mother would have been her daughter-in-law. She was a lovable girl, much better than Qin Shi.

"Madam, the rules cannot be disregarded."

Xiaohe looked touched and said, "I am content with what you said, Grandma."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Old Mrs. Lin held Xiao He's hand, her words carrying a deeper meaning. Lin Yuesha understood; it was a tacit understanding between the old lady striving to be the head of the Lin family and the one striving to become a concubine.

Moreover, Xiao He, the maid, was very good at judging the situation. As soon as Lin Yuesha appeared, she was immediately won over.

"Sigh, getting old means having to worry. If only Qin Shi were half as sensible as you."

Grandma Lin held Xiaohe's hand, looking delighted. Lin Yuesha even felt that Grandma Lin treated Xiaohe much better than her own granddaughter.

If they truly loved Xiaohe, given the Lin family's status in the capital, they could easily find her a marriage partner instead of sending her to Lin Shusheng's bed.

In short, these two were using each other, and neither of them had any good intentions.

“Yue Sha, now that you’ve returned to the Lin family, you are now the eldest daughter of the Lin family. No matter what the people in the mansion say, as long as your grandmother is alive, she will protect you.”

Grandma Lin comforted the maid Xiaohe and then confided in Lin Yuesha, knowing that this adopted granddaughter could only rely on her in the Lin family.

"Grandmother, your granddaughter believes in you."

Lin Yuesha felt a deep sense of irony. She was just a pawn of Old Mrs. Lin, ready to charge into battle and become cannon fodder at any time. But she was not disappointed because she had never had any expectations.

"Alas, this journey from the south to the capital, so far from my homeland, and now my old arms and legs are not used to it. But as people get older, they always long for their children and grandchildren to be around them, who would have thought that Qin would raise Haoran like that..."

After speaking, Old Mrs. Lin looked worried.

She didn't care how many granddaughters the Lin family had. Girls are like water spilled out sooner or later. On the surface, they only had this one precious grandson, who had to be pampered. It was one thing for him not to be close to his grandmother, but he also spoke to her with great disdain.

What does a little slug like Lin Haoran know? He still wets the bed at night. He must have heard these words from Qin Shi.

"Madam, if I may be so bold as to say something, you must think of a solution."

Xiaohe, the maid, immediately stepped forward, bent down, and poured Old Madam Lin a cup of hot tea, speaking very attentively.

“Xiao He, I’ve never considered you an outsider. But you keep calling me ‘servant,’ which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.”

Grandma Lin took the hot tea, her eyes reddening. "If your mother were alive, you wouldn't have needed to come to the capital to be a maid."

Xiaohe's parents are gone, but there are still people in the family. Old Mrs. Lin couldn't find a suitable excuse to take her away, so she could only do as her son said and spend money to buy her as a maid.

But in her heart, Xiaohe was her junior. If it weren't for that thought, Old Mrs. Lin would have loved to have Xiaohe call her "Grandmother".

"Grandma, if it weren't for you, Xiaohe would be in grave danger by now."

The maid Xiaohe wiped away her tears, expressing her deep gratitude to her savior, Old Madam Lin. Watching the two perform, Lin Yuesha felt increasingly superfluous in her presence.

Wanting to continue watching the show, she held back, waiting for Xiao He to come up with a bad idea; this maid was no simple character.
