Chapter 440 General, the old lady is no longer capable!
Looking at Lin Tingye's indifferent back, Mrs. Lin seemed to see the scene of her husband leaving home several years ago.
He was so resolute that he never stopped for a moment, without caring at all about their years of marriage.
He never thought about how she, a woman, with neither the support of her parents-in-law nor the care of her own family, could support such a huge general's mansion with his meager salary.
At that time, the two sons were still young. Even the eldest son, Tingye, was only eight years old. They were of the age to look for their mother as soon as they opened their eyes.
He had never considered these things.
Yes, she was wrong at first and committed sin out of confusion.
Could it be that Lin Zhongquan did nothing wrong?
If he hadn't refused to go home all day and hadn't been hanging out with his colleagues, how could she have been so lonely...
It was clearly he who first proposed to her and kowtowed hundreds of times to her parents before he finally persuaded them to agree to marry her to him.
At that time, the Lin family was extremely poor and the family often had no food to eat.
The two elders of the Lin family are in poor health and can't do any work.
Her sister-in-law was both cunning and greedy. She refused to do laundry or cook, let alone work in the fields.
On weekdays, the whole family relied on Lin Zhongquan to work as a helper in the blacksmith shop in town to earn some money to make ends meet.
After they got married, she would naturally have to bear half of the burden of supporting the family.
She often had to get up before dawn to work, taking care of the Lin family's one acre of thin land that had been abandoned for who knows how long, washing clothes and feeding chickens and ducks.
When I finally got some free time, I was still busy weaving baskets and straw sandals, just so I could go to the market to exchange for some brown rice, vegetables, etc. to barely fill my stomach.
After years of hard work and bearing children for him, her face and hands became increasingly rough, and she no longer had the youthful beauty she had when she was a girl.
Lin Zhongquan's attitude towards her became increasingly cold.
Until the town was in complete chaos, he left without saying a word and followed the current Majesty, who was the leader of the rebel army at that time.
Two years later, when the country was initially stabilized, she and her two sons were brought to the capital and lived in the huge general's mansion.
She originally thought that a short separation was better than a new marriage, and that the two of them would be as sweet as her parents-in-law said, and that they would hurry up to have a daughter to complete the family for the Lin family.
A few years later, a daughter was born.
But he is not from the Lin family.
Because since Lin Zhongquan brought the three of them, mother and son, to Beijing, he had been living in a separate room from her and had not set foot in her room for several years.
Having a child is not a one-person thing. Even though she tried her best to please Lin Zhongquan, all she got was "I'm busy with official duties."
But this general who claimed to be busy with official duties could suddenly appear in the room of a top courtesan in a brothel and enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir with her.
On the surface, she was a glorious general's wife, but everyone in the capital secretly laughed at her for becoming a widow before she was thirty.
There were people who said nasty things at that time.
They said that she was not only ugly, but also had vulgar manners and spoke with a rustic accent.
She also said that the reason why Lin Zhongquan refused to touch her was because she smelled bad, was old and ugly after giving birth to a child, and had more wrinkles on her belly than a bun.
It's disgusting just by looking at it, and it doesn't interest you at all.
Even her mother-in-law, who was lying on the hospital bed and being taken care of by her day and night, and who always boasted that she had a good daughter-in-law, felt that she was not as good as those girls from wealthy families.
But she forgot that a girl from aristocratic family could not carry a hoe, let alone wipe the feces and urine of her paralyzed mother-in-law without batting an eyelid.
It was their Lin family who wronged her first.
Why can Lin Zhongquan have affairs with other women outside, while she has to become a laughing stock in Beijing because of him, and when she returns home, she has to be blamed by her mother-in-law for not being able to keep her husband's heart.
How can she win over a heartless person?
After another late night of drinking to drown her sorrows, she made a mistake that she would never be able to forgive herself for.
To this day, Madam Lin still doesn't understand why she got pregnant with Xuan'er even though she took the medicine after she sobered up.
By the time she realized she was pregnant, she could no longer hide it.
She originally wanted to have an abortion, but Lin Zhongquan magnanimously said that he didn't care, and even said that he had ruined his health due to playing around outside in the past few years, and it would be difficult for him to have children in the future.
He also said that he had always dreamed of having a daughter, and now it was fate that made it happen. God saw his sincerity and found a way to give him a daughter.
From now on, he will be more focused, stop hanging out with other people, and stay at home to be a good husband and a qualified father.
But it was this person who, when she was giving birth and her body was at its weakest, stood by the bed with a cold face, cursing her as a fickle bitch and wishing to strangle her to death to rectify the family.
No matter how she explained or begged, he resolutely packed up his things and left home.
Before leaving, he stared into her eyes and said, "He, your face is really disgusting."
Over the past decade, Mrs. Lin has successively seen off her paralyzed mother-in-law and her mentally ill father-in-law.
But she still couldn't understand how the man who had promised to grow old with her and treat her well all his life when they got married could change beyond recognition in just a few years.
Now she understands.
The Lin family is selfish in their bones.
Whether it was her parents-in-law who looked kind but had a wicked heart, and coaxed her out of bed to cook and wash clothes for them in the coldest days of winter, or Lin Zhongquan who was very obedient to her when they first got married, but later disliked her for being rude and refused to give her any dignity.
Each of them is an evil ghost in human skin.
Even the two sons she gave birth to inherited the bloodline of their Lin family and were absolutely bad seeds.
Mrs. Lin covered her chest with her hands and suddenly burst into laughter as if she had realized something belatedly.
The servant pushed the door open and was shocked when he saw her ferocious face.
Just as she was about to call for help, she saw Old Madam Lin suddenly burst into tears again after laughing, beating her chest and stamping her feet, saying, "Dad, Mom, I regret it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell straight back.
"Old lady!"

"General, something happened in the mansion!"
When the people from the General's Mansion found the post station, Lin Tingfeng was racking his brains over how to get rid of Liu Goudan quietly in front of everyone.
That child knew too much. Even if Shihan didn't mention it, he would never keep him until the time to meet His Majesty.
If he attacked directly, the target would be too obvious, and it happened that he had a sudden intestinal disease, which was a godsend.
It’s a pity that Liu Goudan was too tough. He was in pain all night but couldn’t be killed. We had to find another way to deal with the aftermath.
Lin Tingfeng was already upset, and when he heard his servant act so recklessly, he was even more angry and had no place to vent.
With a cold face and a gloomy voice, he said, "You'd better straighten your tongue and speak."
The servant's legs went weak and he fell to the ground with a plop. He said tremblingly, "General, please go back quickly. The old lady is dying!"
