Li Yanhong sneered: "No matter how good the old lady thought of Lin Xi, she would be frightened to the point of having a stroke by Lin Xi now."

Liu Yong: "That's what I'm talking about. That's why I said the old lady regrets it more than Lin Yuanshan does now."

"Lin Xi did something like this, and Lin Jialiang wasn't idle either. He and his wife have been getting a divorce."

"I don't know what that guy is thinking, but he thinks his wife wants to divorce him because he's leaving me with his job."

"I don't want to bother with him because he usually talks to me in a sarcastic way. Since he can't suppress me, he pesters Lin Yuanshan and asks him to find him another good job."

In Liu Yong's opinion, Lin Jialiang has no idea of ​​his own worth.

A golden rice bowl, does a bastard like him deserve it?

"I don't know what's going on with Lin Yuanshan. It seems he's had problems at work. He promised to find a job for Lin Jialiang but hasn't been able to find one yet."

"Lin Jialiang went out for a run yesterday. I don't know who caught his eye, but he came back home beaten to a pulp..."

Liu Yong waved his hands, not knowing what to say. He felt it would bring bad luck if he said too much.

It was a nice New Year, but the Lin family was in such a mess that it was really disturbing.

On one side is an old lady who has suffered a stroke and keeps cursing all day long and doesn't know how to torture people.

On one side was Lin Jialiang, who was beaten like a pig's head during the Chinese New Year.

There is also Chen Fei, who feels sorry for his son and threatens to teach the wrongdoer a lesson if he finds out who did it, and Lin Xi, who has been like a madman since he was released from prison.

Home doesn't feel like home.

The year doesn't feel like a year.

Liu Yong can still recall with his eyes closed the night of New Year's Eve, the time when the family should have been reunited, and how deep the despair and regret were in Lin Yuanshan's eyes.

I don’t know whether he regretted marrying Chen Fei, or regretted which wrong step he took in his life and which problem caused his happy family to be in such a mess.

The dark-faced man beside Liu Yong also sighed: "Old Mrs. Lin is just stubborn. Even though she has a stroke and her speech is unclear, her mind is clear."

"Ever since she became unable to move, Lin Xi and Lin Jialiang haven't even visited her."

"Not to mention filial piety, let's not even talk about helping to clean up the mess, even feeding them a meal is something the siblings have never done."

Liu Yong scoffed, "That's what Lin Yuanshan said. Raising someone else's child well is more like 'borrowing strength' than raising your own."

It's about borrowing strength?

Lin Yuanshan saw what happened to his mother and what Lin Xi and her brother did.

Liu Yong just didn't believe that he wouldn't feel grief for the other party.

Why are there so many regrets in the eyes of a thirty-year-old man?

Li Yanhong felt relieved after hearing this: "I remember you just said that Chen Fei's family also went to live with the Lin family?"

"Yes, it's probably to fight against us relatives. It may also be because Chen Fei hurt the old lady like this, and she feels guilty."

"I'm afraid the old lady will be isolated and helpless at home and beaten by her relatives."

"So when the old lady had a stroke, she immediately brought her relatives over."

"Tsk, speaking of her relatives from her mother's side...it's getting late, we should leave. If we go back too late, my family might not be able to hold on."

Chen Fei is bad, and the Chen family is no less bad.

These relatives from their hometown can be considered powerful at best, but compared to the purely evil Chen family... they have suffered a lot recently.

This is why the Chen family was afraid that if they pushed the young and strong ones into a corner and started beating people, they did not dare to do anything too bad.

Otherwise, those elders in their family who only know how to curse would have suffered a lot at the hands of the Chen family.

Liu Yong: "Yesterday, one of my cousins ​​was slandered by the Chen family, saying she stole something. The Chen family even dared to report her to the police and said they wanted to arrest her."

At that time, his aunt was so scared that her legs went weak and she sat on the ground.

"The Chen family keeps coming up with shady tricks like this one. If we go back too late, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause."

When Liu Yong said this, he couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.

They were used to being straightforward in the countryside, but now they have to deal with the Chen family, a group of troublesome people, every day, and they can't even drive them away completely. Who told them to call the police at the slightest disagreement... He is really annoyed.

Having a good job is of course a good thing. Everyone in my hometown will envy me if I tell them about it.

But the mess that came with it was enough to make him feel bad.

The few of them left in the same hurry as when they came.

No matter how Li Yanhong asked them to stay for dinner, they refused.

"Auntie Li, look at our bodies..." one of the men said with a smile, "If we eat one meal at your house, we can eat up two months' worth of food rations."

He saw that the Li family lived here, and their living conditions didn't seem very good. He didn't feel comfortable eating and drinking lavishly with his brothers at someone else's house.

That would not be marriage but enmity.

Li Yanhong was amused by him: "If you are worried about this, then you really don't have to worry. It's not easy for us to be bankrupted by you."

"Your Aunt Li has a very solid foundation."

"Don't leave. Stay and have a meal. Aunt Li can afford it."

Liu Yong: "It really won't work. Don't listen to his nonsense..."

A group of men smiled at Li Yanhong and Su Lixuan, revealing their big white teeth, looking very naive.

It’s true, Su Lixuan had a really good impression of this group of people, especially since they knew the limits and knew to save food for her family.

Although they came here with ulterior motives to seek marriage, they are all real people.

It was not like what she saw in TV dramas in later life, where a bunch of people went to their relatives' houses to ask for money and pretended to be stupid to eat at the rich man's house.

I felt it would be a waste not to eat, and no matter how my relatives lived, they were still better off than my own family, so I ate as much as I could.

He not only takes advantage of others but also creates an image for himself as a simple, unassuming person who doesn't understand the ways of the world, which is really annoying.

Fortunately, this group of people know when to advance and retreat, otherwise it would be a hassle to get rid of them.

Su Lixuan agreed in her heart and kindly said, "Brother Liu, no matter how many troubles you have, you will get through them sooner or later."

"Don't think I'm being too polite. I think your most urgent task right now is not to figure out how to organize your relatives to fight Chen Fei's family when you go back."

"But..."

She looked at the men around Liu Yong and said bluntly, "We should quickly think about where the future of these big brothers will lie."

"After all, it's impossible for Lin Yuanshan to let so many people live and eat at the Lin family for their entire lives. Do you think what I said makes sense..."

…

“That makes sense!”

Tian Dafen, also known as the old lady with the gap in the tooth, finally waited for her son and several nephews to come back.

At first, I heard that Li Yanhong treated them well and was not unhappy to see them coming to her house, so she regarded them as relatives.

The old lady was still smiling.

Then he asked his son what he and Li Yanhong talked about at Li's house.

The more I listen, the more I feel that this relative is a sure thing!

But after she listened to her son's retelling of what Su Lixuan had said to them before they left... Tian Dafen wanted to raise her fist and hit her son a few times!

"I was just giving you this advice out of kindness. Did you thank me after listening to it?"
