They refused to give up a room no matter what they said. Her third son had been engaged for several years, but he couldn't bring the girl into the house.
This caused the young women to have a lot of complaints about them, after all, if they dragged it on any longer, they would soon become old maids.
But the second son's wife is a stubborn and unreasonable person; no matter how much you try to reason with her, you just can't get through to her.
If this incident could really be used to divide the family property, she would wholeheartedly agree.
Now, hearing her second brother's wife say they wouldn't separate the family, she was somewhat disappointed.
Although Lin Jiujiu didn't go inside, she was standing in a spot where she could see the expressions of everyone inside.
Seeing my aunt's condition, I knew something was wrong.
She couldn't help but tug at Lin Ze's sleeve and whispered a question.
"Is there also discord in my maternal grandfather's family?"
Lin Ze looked at her with a gossipy expression.
Seeing that his mother-in-law was still there, he couldn't be too blunt.
He could only point to his own head and then say to his sister.
"There's something wrong with my second aunt."
Lin Jiujiu understood perfectly well; there was just a troublemaker in the family.
After watching the play for a while, Lin Jiujiu noticed the difficulty on her mother's face, so she helped Hu's mother into the house.
"Mother, Aunt Hu has come to offer her congratulations."
When the people inside saw that outsiders had come in, they naturally didn't want to continue what they were saying, so they fell silent.
Lin's mother then chatted warmly with Aunt Hu for a while before saying she was going to prepare lunch.
Lin Jiujiu didn't want to pay attention to her aunt who was out of her mind, so she said to Lin Luo.
"Xiao San, you take your maternal grandparents for a walk around the manor, I'm going to help my mother."
Lin Luo was already close to her maternal grandfather, so she was naturally willing.
She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, sister, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my maternal grandparents."
Lin Jiujiu walked into the kitchen and saw her mother and sister-in-law already busy at work.
Although we're having a family dinner today, there's actually not much work to do in the kitchen.
In order to spend more time with her family today, Lin's mother had already prepared all the chicken, duck, fish and meat needed for today's meal yesterday.
The chicken soup is simmering in the earthenware pot early in the morning, and now we just stir-fry a few vegetarian dishes before we can set the table.
These can be completely entrusted to Lin Jiujiu and Madam Hu.
She only came here because she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her second sister-in-law would say something inappropriate.
Lin Jiujiu saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Then, Lin's mother smiled as she continued with her work.
“Mom, there are some people you can ignore if you don’t want to, and you’re not afraid of offending them. At worst, you can just bring your maternal grandparents over to live with you in their old age.”
Those who can't see things clearly don't deserve so much effort.
Madam Hu wanted to agree, but remembering that she was a daughter-in-law and not a daughter, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Hearing this, Lin's mother frowned, but in the end, she patted Lin Jiujiu's hand and said.
“Jiujiu, it’s not that your mother can’t be heartless, it’s just that your second uncle has been good to you. Over the years, whenever he has had some ability, he has helped us. I can’t let your second uncle be put in a difficult position because of some unpleasant things your second aunt said.”
Lin Jiujiu understood her feelings and sighed.
"Alright, you can handle it yourself, just don't let yourself get wronged."
As Lin Jiujiu spoke, she didn't need to do anything. She simply brought out the chicken soup that had been simmering that morning, ladled out two bowls, and asked Lin Jiujiu to take them to Old Master Qiao and Old Madam Qiao.
She herself had just stayed in the kitchen to help.
Lin Jiujiu originally thought that since her second aunt had just been disciplined by her maternal grandparents, she would be more restrained and wouldn't cause trouble for the time being.
But she overestimated human nature. She had just finished cooking the food and hadn't even put it on the table when she heard Lin Xiaomei scream, followed by heart-wrenching cries.
This girl is rarely seen suffering a loss. Even when she was at Old Lin's house, I never saw her wail so heartbreakingly.
Lin Jiujiu quickly put down what she was holding and gave Hu Shi some instructions.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go take a look first."
Madam Hu was also worried, since she had spent more time with her sister-in-law, Lin Xiaomei, than with Lin Jiujiu, since she married into the family.
Back in the Lin family, she was just a little girl, yet she fiercely protected herself.
But she also knew that she couldn't help in the future, so it was better for Lin Jiujiu to go instead.
So he nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Go and check on your little sister."
Before Lin Jiujiu could finish speaking, she had already darted far away.
Although he knew that nothing could possibly happen to Lin Xiaomei at home, he was still worried.
Lin Jiujiu moved swiftly. If Baili Chenyuan and the others were here, they would easily notice that her feet did not touch the ground at all; she was simply moving by riding on her inner energy.
This is truly rare among those who haven't yet begun cultivation.
Even for cultivators like them, it would be impossible to achieve this before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Lin family mansion was not small, but Lin Jiujiu quickly found the place where the incident had occurred.
She quickly glanced at the people present and found that almost everyone was there except for her and her sister-in-law.
Lin Xiaomei was held in her mother's arms, one hand covering her face, so the swelling on her face was not visible, indicating that she had been beaten.
Lin Jiujiu's face instantly turned cold upon seeing this.
She didn't care about relatives or anything like that. Anyway, she wasn't the original Lin Jiujiu anymore, and she had no feelings for these people.
Even the original Lin Jiujiu probably wouldn't have any feelings for them, after all, this is their first time meeting.
Lin Jiujiu glanced around and noticed that besides her crying younger sister, there was another little girl leaning against Aunt Qiao's arms, sobbing with a wronged expression, clutching the gold hairpin she had bought for her younger sister.
She clearly remembered that she had personally placed the hairpins in Lin Xiaomei's hair that morning, but now Xiaomei's hair was disheveled and one of the hairpins was missing.
Anyone with a brain can guess what's going on.
Lin Jiujiu wasn't as easy to talk to as her mother, nor did she give anyone face. She directly stepped forward and pulled the girl out of Aunt Qiao's arms.
Just as Lin's mother thought she was going to hit someone and was about to reach out to stop her, Lin Jiujiu grabbed her hand that was holding the gold hairpin and lifted it up.
With a sharp look in his eyes, he asked, "How did this hairpin end up in your hands?"
She didn't ask who hit Lin Xiaomei. After all, the beating had already happened, and judging from the extent of the swelling on her face, it couldn't have been done by a child.
So, it can only be this annoying second aunt.
After all, no one would have the heart to lay a hand on a child.
If it were up to her temper, she would definitely have fought back, but seeing her mother's pleading face, she knew that fighting back was impossible.
We can't put Lin's mother in a difficult position, but we also can't let Lin's younger sister suffer injustice for nothing.
Since we can't fight with our elders, we should at least get some interest back, right?
When the girl saw her hand being raised, revealing the gold hairpin in her hand to everyone, she felt a little flustered and didn't know what to say.
That shameless second aunt has hit the nail on the head.
He said matter-of-factly, "Our Yan'er is the older sister. Your little sister hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. Why would she wear a hairpin? It's only right that we give it to Yan'er."
