Chapter 100 Just as useless as your mother

Those watching the spectacle gasped in disbelief when they heard Lin Luoxi mention a thousand taels of silver.

"Hmph, weren't you acting all apprehensive just now? Why are you getting more excited than anyone else the moment you hear about money?"

"Do you think my third brother recovered so quickly because you, as his grandfather, felt so guilty?"

Those were all made with precious medicinal herbs like century-old ginseng and century-old lingzhi. They snatched lives back from the jaws of death; a thousand taels of silver is an understatement.”

Lin Luoxi glanced at Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Lin with sarcasm and said menacingly.

If she could, she really wanted to use poison to kill the Lin family, so she could stop bothering them every day.

"You brat, you're a jinx! Can't stand seeing us and your father doing well?"

"Now that brat Lin Wentao has woken up, why are you still fixated on this matter all day long? What's wrong with you?"

When Grandma Lin heard Lin Luoxi's words, she had a thousand ways to curse Lin Luoxi in her heart.

But now, they need to appease Lin Dayou and get him on their side so they can have a chance to control Lin Luoxi.

"Auntie, please watch your mouth. You're the jinx, the troublemaker..." When Lin Wangshi heard Lin Lao Wushi's insults towards Lin Luoxi, she instantly became like a hedgehog, raising her quills and attacking Lin Lao Wushi.

"Lin Wangshi, shut up! This is a matter for the Lin family. Who gave you the right to interfere?"

"If you interrupt again, don't blame me for slapping your mouth in public." Old Mrs. Lin had suppressed Lin Wangshi for many years and looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.

Now that Lin Wangshi dares to curse her in front of so many people, Lin Lao Wushi's ruthlessness has resurfaced.

"Lin Dayou, do you want to go back for dinner or not? If you want to put on a show of family affection here, then stay here!" After being scolded by Old Madam Wu, Lin Wangshi glared back and then shouted directly at Lin Dayou.

After finishing speaking, without even glancing at Lin Dayou's troubled expression, he walked over to Lin Luoxi, pulled Lin Luoning and Lin Wentao along, called Lin Luoxi, and headed home.

"Father, aren't you leaving yet? Are you really planning to stay?" Lin Luoxi didn't leave with Lin Wangshi immediately, but stared at Lin Dayou.

“I…” Lin Dayou moved his legs, which were being held tightly by the old man Lin, and looked at Lin Luoxi with a worried expression.

No matter what, Old Man Lin was his father, and he couldn't bring himself to shake him off, fearing that he might get hurt.

"Okay, I understand. Then Dad will stay here and rekindle old friendships with the Lin family." Lin Luoxi was speechless at Lin Dayou's expression.

She hated this kind of indecisive, lingering relationship the most. Without giving it a second glance, she turned and left.

Before leaving, she gave Lin Luodan, who was hiding behind the crowd, a meaningful look, and then left with a charming smile.

Seeing Lin Luoxi leave so resolutely, and with Lin Wangshi, Lin Luoning, and Lin Wentao nowhere to be seen, Lin Dayou felt a broken sense of being abandoned.

In her haste, she didn't care whether she would hurt Old Man Lin, and struggled violently to break free from his grasp.

"Wife, daughter, wait for me..." He quickly ran towards Lin Luoxi, as if afraid that a mad dog was chasing him.

"Why did you let that beast Dayou go?" Old Mrs. Lin watched as Lin Dayou ran past her, reaching out to grab his clothes but failing. She turned and looked at Old Man Lin with a disappointed expression.

Old Man Lin, who had been thrown to the ground by Lin Dayou, hadn't even had time to get up when he received a reproachful look from his wife. Feeling humiliated, he returned the look with a vicious glare.

"Are you questioning me?" At home, no one dared to disrespect the old man, but now, being questioned like this by his own wife, he gritted his teeth and growled.

His face was ferocious, like a demon crawling out of hell, which made the surrounding villagers who were watching the spectacle tremble with fear and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Ever since Lin Luoxi disciplined him several times, even throwing him into a stinking ditch, Lin Wenwu has developed a deep-seated trauma.

Whenever he came into contact with Lin Luoxi, he would immediately cower in fear as a conditioned reflex, his mind going blank, not knowing how to resist.

Now, seeing his grandfather's terrifying face again, he dared not speak, shrinking his head and trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

Lin Luodan, who was hiding behind the crowd, also received the meaningful smile that Lin Luoxi gave her as she left. Her heart sank. It seemed that she would not be able to get those several hundred taels of silver today.

Her marriage to the Wang family is set for next month. If she doesn't bring a decent dowry, this marriage she snatched will fall through.

No, she needs to find a way to keep busy and stabilize the relationships she's worked so hard to build.

"Dad, Mom didn't mean that." With everyone watching, if the old couple started arguing, their family would only become a spectacle for others to watch. Lin Daguang had no choice but to stand up and speak up for Old Madam Lin.

"That unfilial son Lin Dayou has already left, let's go back first!"

They never expected that Lin Luoxi, that little bitch, would arrive at such an inopportune time. They were almost able to persuade Lin Dayou, but that little bitch Lin Luoxi had to show up and ruin their plans. She deserves to die.

Seeing that Lin Dayou's family had all left, everyone knew there was nothing more to see if they stayed any longer, so they all dispersed and went home for dinner.

Old Man Lin knew he couldn't change Lin Dayou's attitude today, so he glared fiercely in the direction Lin Luoxi and the others left, then glared at his wife before flicking his sleeves and leaving.

Old Mrs. Lin was intimidated by Old Mr. Lin's glare. She only dared to get up from the ground after Old Mr. Lin had walked a long way away. She didn't even bother to brush off the dust and slunk home.

Lin Daguang mimicked Old Man Lin's actions, glaring in the direction of Lin Ruoxi's house before pulling his son home.

As she turned around, she glared at Lin Luodan and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go back to cook. Do you want us to starve to death?"

Unable to save face from Lin Luoxi, he could only vent his anger on Lin Luodan.

"Where's your mother?" From the beginning to the end of the incident, Lin Daguang realized that Lin Xiaowu, who always followed him no matter what happened, was not present. He frowned and asked impatiently.

"I don't know," Lin Luodan replied softly.

Ever since Lin Xiaowu's hidden money was stolen, Lin Luodan had begun to harbor resentment towards Lin Xiaowu.

They thought Lin Xiaowu was so useless. She knew she was about to get married, yet she still messed things up. Wasn't this just making that widowed mother from the Wang family look down on her?

"Just as useless as your mother, she knows nothing when asked." Lin Luodan's answer did not satisfy Lin Daguang.
