"Yes, it must be my mother's. A bracelet that big wouldn't disappear for no reason."
Ye Lian sneered, "Oh, then go ahead and sue us. If the police say I took it, I won't even split it in half with you, even if you ask me to give you the whole bracelet."
"You've already asked the silversmith to melt it, what's the point of me asking the police?"
Ye Lian smiled faintly and said, "There are only a few silversmith shops here, you can go ask every household."
"What's the point of asking? You must have bribed them."
They were all speechless at this logic. She could turn anything black into white.
Lin Ping was furious, pointing at his aunt's sweater and said, "Is this sweater of yours my long johns?"
The young aunt's face changed, "How can my sweater be your long johns? Lin Ping, what are you talking about?"
"Humph, I lost a pair of long johns after washing them and hung them outside, so I suspected you stole them. In order to prevent me from recognizing them, you tore them apart and knitted them into clothes. Your sweater is the same color as my long johns, so they must be my long johns. Take them off and give them back to me."
The young aunt widened her eyes and felt humiliated.
"You are talking nonsense, Lin Ping, you bastard, you don't even want your stinky autumn johns to be given to me, tui."
"Oh, that's hard to say. These are all excuses. You said no, but you were secretly holding my long johns and smelling them."
Lin Ping acted like a scoundrel, and the neighbors who were watching the fun were all laughing at her. She was so angry that her face turned red. She ran away after saying a few harsh words.
Ye Lian breathed a sigh of relief. The two families had been fighting for years, and Ye Lian was already tired of dealing with that family.
It would be best if we could be strangers, but they still want to cause trouble.
Following his mother back into the house, Lin Ping said, "Mom, don't be afraid of her. If she comes again, just beat her out."
Ye Lian shook her head and said, "After fighting for so many years, what tricks have I not used? Alas!"
Just then, Lin Dawei and Lin Gang came back.
Lin Dawei said, "Just now I heard at the entrance of the village that the youngest family came to cause trouble, right?"
Ye Lian nodded and said, "Yes, she insisted that this bracelet of mine was stolen from the old lady."
Lin Dawei: "Isn't this what Yuyao bought for you?"
"Yes, the style is different. She said I asked the silversmith to change the design. I said I had the invoice, but she said I asked someone to issue a fake one. I told her to ask the silversmith, but she said I bribed him. You know her. She can turn black into white and dead into alive as long as she believes in something."
Lin Dawei clenched his fists and said angrily: "That bracelet is clearly..."
Um?
The whole family looked at him.
Lin Dawei's eyes dodged.
Ye Lian suddenly stood up and grabbed his collar and asked, "Where's the bracelet?"
"I...I don't know."
"You don't know? Lin Dawei, dare you tell me you don't know again?"
Lin Dawei: “…”
Lin Ping advised, "Dad, if you want to know, just tell me. I don't even know how much my mother suffered because of this bracelet."
Lin Gang also said, "Yes, Dad, my mother and my aunt had a huge fight over the bracelet. If you want to know where the bracelet is, just tell me, otherwise my aunt will come and make trouble."
Lin Dawei thought that it had been so many years since that happened, and he had done his best to please his youngest brother, so he might as well just say it.
"Oh, the bracelet was taken away by your uncle."
Ye Lian was stunned, "What? The youngest took it?"
"Yes, you know that mother favors him. Mother was still sick, so she gave the bracelet to the youngest one."
"So the bracelet is in the youngest's hands? Lin Dawei, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Oh, the bracelet was exchanged for money by the youngest brother, who took it..." It's embarrassing to talk about this, especially in the eyes of the younger generation.
"Take it and spend it."
"Why did you spend it? It's so big, it must be worth a lot of money."
"It's in the Flower Corner Alley."
Ye Lian: “…” I heard that the alley is not clean and full of people doing sex work.
"At that time, his wife was pregnant, and he...well, anyway, after I found out about this, he knelt on the ground and begged me not to tell anyone, and he was willing to divide the old house equally between us. I promised him, so I never told anyone."
I am partial to the old house and originally planned to give it all to the youngest son.
The youngest brother divided the house equally because Lin Dawei had leverage over him, and he was often scolded by his wife for this.
At that time Ye Lian was still puzzled, thinking that the old lady had changed her personality. It turned out to be like this.
Then Lin Dawei said, "I think the youngest brother kept his promise and gave us half of the house. Let's not tell anyone about this."
Ye Lian snorted coldly and said, "Then go tell him to deal with his wife. As long as his wife doesn't bother me about the bracelet, I won't say anything. If his wife dares to talk nonsense again, humph, don't blame me."
"Okay, I'll talk to him some other time."
Even though the two families had such an ugly quarrel and Lin Dawei hated his brother, he still took into account the brotherly affection.
If his wife knew about that, there would be chaos in the family.
Of course, no matter how close siblings are, they cannot be as close as daughter-in-law and children.
If your brother can't control it, don't blame him.
During dinner, Lin Ping kept looking for opportunities to interrupt the conversation.
Finally, when he was about to put down his chopsticks, Ye Lian called his name.
"Lin Ping, study hard and learn skills when you go back. Don't be like your father, a peasant for life."
Lin Ping nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as our generation doesn't cling to our family's small piece of land, we will be a generation that will take off."
Before everyone could figure out what he meant, he looked at Lin Gang and said, "Brother, if you choose to guard the family's one acre and three mu of land, Lin Yan will suffer in the future."
Lin Gang was startled and frowned, "Didn't I tell you clearly that my parents are at home, I can't go too far. If we leave, what will happen to my parents?"
"When we become successful, we will take our parents out with us. Look at my aunt, she can't stand our family being well off and always finds fault with our parents. Let's go out and have a good time and make her jealous."
Everyone: “…”
"Hey, don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to me."
"you say."
"My sister said that our generation is lucky. There are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere in the city. If you stand on the wind, even a pig can take off. But you have to stand on that wind. If you don't go there, you can only watch the pig take off."
Ye Lian knocked his head, "Speak properly, how can you use such a metaphor?"
"My words may be a little rough, but my point is true. And my sister said that our generation will complete the gap between the rich and the poor. If our generation takes off, our descendants will be rich. If our generation cannot take off, our descendants will be poor all their lives no matter how hard they work."
Lin Yuyao was still a little reserved in her words, only saying that it would take a lot of effort to break through the class.
He sentenced him directly to death.
