Chapter 344 Sister-in-law’s Bottom Line

Mother-in-law Lu Lin was so excited that her eyes were red. "You said my family members are so good. I have accumulated virtue for several lifetimes. You said I have such a good daughter-in-law and such good family members. What can I say? I..."

Lin Xiaoxia looked at Grandma Lu Lin and said, "Aunt, this is all about kindness in return. When our family was not doing well before, did you give us less? Meat, vegetables, money, did you give us less?"

Grandma Lu Lin said, "That's just a few dollars. It's not worth mentioning."

Li Shaofen said: "Why is it not worth it? Putting aside the money and things, I always followed Guojiu to the city to see a doctor. Did Jingyuan eat less at your house?"

Grandma Lu Lin smiled and said, "There's nothing special about what we have. As long as the children don't mind, I'm happy as long as they can eat it."

Lin Xiaoxia also laughed: "Jingyuan can eat the amount of food for three people by himself. When Jingyuan starts working and earning money, I will ask him to buy more delicious food for Auntie."

With this joke, everyone laughed and the atmosphere became relaxed.

Before noon, Lin Xiaoxia called Lu Jingshen and told him that she had returned to Shiqiao Township and asked him to eat in the cafeteria by himself.

Lu Jingshen still complained a few times, but they were all sweet complaints. His daughter-in-law was so sensible and went back to visit her parents-in-law by herself. This was something many people could not do.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoxia said she wanted to go to the housing estate to take a look, and then she took a bus directly on the street back to the city.

Li Shaofen said that she was free too, so she sent Lin Xiaoxia to catch the bus, which was a good opportunity to talk to her again.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked together into the street, chatting as they walked, and talked about their uncle Lu Guoji's family.

Li Shaofen said, "I heard from your uncle that Jing Xue has changed since he lost his child. He helps him take care of your aunt at home and no longer quarrels with Zhang Tingting. He is completely different from before. He just doesn't talk, not even a few words a day."

Lin Xiaoxia hadn't expected Lu Jingxue to change so much because of this incident. She said, "This might be a good thing. If Lu Jingxue doesn't change and doesn't recognize his family, his family won't have a good life in the future."

"But Zhang Tingting's personality is difficult to deal with. She's been making a lot of noise lately, and your uncle is scared. But I understand. She's heartbroken because her child is gone."

"Indeed, it's already that late, and it's gone just like that. Why do you have to pay the price before you regret it?"

"It's also because they had it so easy in the past that they didn't know how to cherish it."

"That's right, but the price they paid is too high."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking when they arrived at the yard. Lu Guojiu also came over. They talked for a while, and then Li Shaofen sent Lin Xiaoxia to the station.

While waiting for the bus, I also talked about some factories and equipment. Although my mother-in-law doesn't know much about these, I have to tell them often so that she can understand them slowly.

Perhaps it was Li Shaofen's past poverty that made her so motivated to study, or perhaps it was because the children worked so hard that she had more hope for life. In any case, she listened carefully to and took note of everything Lin Xiaoxia said to her.

At this time, no one expected that Ai Zhu went to Wang Lijuan's unit.

She asked someone to call Wang Lijuan to the door of the unit. She was also worried that the Lin family would leak the information and refuse to see her, so she asked someone else to call Wang Lijuan out without saying who she was.

Wang Lijuan didn't know who was looking for her, so she hurried out. When she reached the door, she saw it was Ai Zhu. She was stunned for a moment: "What do you want from me?"

Ai Zhu looked at Wang Lijuan: "Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you about something. We are not your sisters-in-law, so please move aside."

Wang Lijuan didn't move: "You are no longer a member of the Lin family. I am not your sister-in-law, so I have nothing to say to you."

Ai Zhu held Wang Lijuan and said, "Sister-in-law, I know it's not easy for you in the Lin family. I also want to help you."

Wang Lijuan knew what was going on. She frowned and asked Ai Zhu, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Ai Zhu pulled Wang Lijuan to the side of the road: "Sister-in-law, you don't fight for some things, but that doesn't mean it's fair. Lin Xiaoxia is so rich now, helping the second brother with his business, why not help the eldest brother?"

Wang Lijuan knew this: "Lin Xiao doesn't like doing business. Xiaoxia asked him about it, but he himself didn't want to do it."

Ai Zhu sneered: "Big brother doesn't want to do it? Is it that simple? Who knows what's going on? Lin Xiaoxia found the second brother first, so she usually gets along well with him, right? They are all brothers, but she doesn't treat them equally."

Wang Lijuan was silent for a while. She was not stupid. She knew the relationship between Ai Zhu and the Lin family, and she knew Ai Zhu's character even better. Even if what she said seemed to make some sense, she definitely did not mean well.

She couldn't fall into Ai Zhu's trap. If she went along with Ai Zhu, it would hurt her husband's heart. This was absolutely unacceptable. Wang Lijuan was very vain and thoughtful, but her weakness and bottom line was Lin Xiao. She couldn't do anything that might make her and Lin Xiao estranged, or anything that would hurt Lin Xiao.

Over the years, she has been very cautious. Even when helping her parents' family, she would try to do it without Lin Xiao's knowledge, for fear that Lin Xiao's impression of her would change.

So she was still very defensive and said: "You don't need to worry about our family's affairs. Since you are not a member of the Lin family anymore, there is nothing to talk about between you and me. Don't look for me if you have nothing to do."

Ai Zhu knew Wang Lijuan was a very thoughtful person. She must be very concerned about Lin Xiaoxia's favoritism towards Lin Rui. She continued unwillingly, "Sister-in-law, what are you afraid of? Isn't it normal to get your own benefits? Why are you being ignored?"

These words hurt Wang Lijuan's heart, but she was a shrewd person and knew in her heart that no matter what, she must not help Ai Zhu, as that would make her an enemy of the Lin family.

So she said, "I can handle my own family affairs." After that, she shook off Ai Zhu's hand and walked back.

Ai Zhu pulled her and said, "Sister-in-law, I do have selfish motives, but isn't it good for both of us to win?"

Wang Lijuan walked away and said, "No need. Don't look for me. I'm not your sister-in-law."

Ai Zhu still held her tightly and refused to let go: "Sister-in-law, I treated you well in the Lin family before, and now I am doing this for your own good. Why can't you understand?"

Wang Lijuan stopped and said, "I have thought it through clearly. I am a member of the Lin family, so I know what I should do." After that, she broke free from Ai Zhu's hand and returned to the unit.

Ai Zhu stomped her feet in anger as she looked at Wang Lijuan's back. She had thought that Wang Lijuan would be the best instigator, but she didn't expect that Wang Lijuan would be so difficult to deal with. It seemed that she had to find someone that Wang Lijuan couldn't control to make trouble. Anyway, she would not let Lin Xiaoxia feel comfortable.

She rushed to Wang Lijuan's parents' house. She couldn't believe that Wang Lijuan's parents would tolerate Lin Xiaoxia opening a shop for Lin Rui and not caring about Lin Xiao. She asked them to go to Lin Xiaoxia to make a fuss. That would cause a conflict between Lin Xiaoxia, Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan. They wanted a harmonious family. How could that be possible? How could she let it go?
