It's incomparable to the generosity of Lin Rui, the uncle, who would casually take out golden melon seeds to give to the children as a gift.
"Young Master, the master and his mistress are calling you and your family in!" Xiaoping and Xiaoan led the way.
Lin Zixing, who had been a peasant all his life, had never heard such a name before. He suddenly felt uncomfortable, but when he thought about how the Lin family now had a large mansion, he endured it.
Lan Xin followed behind with the two children. She was so excited that she completely ignored the fact that the two little girls did not greet her.
Xiaoping and Xiaoan were also in a dilemma, not knowing whether to address her as Madam or Aunt. After arriving at the Lin family, they saw with their own eyes that the Lin family's status was getting higher and higher, but at present, the only one who was looking for a concubine to keep a mistress was the eldest young master. The second young master had not yet understood love and had no plans to get married!
When Lin Zixing arrived at the main hall, he immediately knelt down with tears and snot, kowtowed to the two elders, and cried out: "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial son!"
Sure enough, this cry broke Lin Changxi and Feng Zhenniang down and they hugged their eldest son and cried together.
The eldest and second sisters Lin wanted to comfort them, but were stopped by Lin Rui: "Reunion after a long separation is the most touching thing. Let them cry their heart out."
As expected, no one handed them a ladder. The three of them stopped crying after a short while. Feng Zhenniang looked her son up and down and said, "Where have you been all these years? Do you want your parents to worry to death?"
"Father and mother, the world is far from peaceful. There are wars everywhere. The princes fight each other every year, every month, and every day. We are just pawns, but I still crawled out from the pile of dead bodies!"
"My poor son!"
Lin Rui didn't know why these three people were so emotional. He started crying again before they had even said a few words.
Finally, he could only knock on the table helplessly: "Mom, it's a good thing that big brother can come back alive. Now that our family is together, we should talk things over."
Everyone knew what was going on. After Lin Zixing came back, he didn't dare to look at Lu Sufen and Lin Mu. After all, he felt guilty towards them.
But he also pulled Lan Xin and the two children to kneel on the ground: "Dad, Mom, these are yellow beans and black beans, hurry up and call them grandpa and grandma!"
Huang Dou and Hei Dou were very obedient and shouted crisply: "Grandpa and Grandma!"
Lin Changxi was pleased to see his two chubby grandsons and was about to respond, but Feng Zhenniang pulled his sleeve.
He shuddered and saw the ugly expression on his eldest daughter-in-law, Lu Sufen, and immediately coughed twice to cover it up.
Seeing that his parents had no way out of this, Lin Zixing could only turn around and look at Lu Sufen: "Sufen, I'm sorry for you. I made you wait for me for so many years. I kneel down and kowtow to you!"
"Sister, I didn't know about this before. I hope you don't mind it!" Lan Xin also knelt down to Lu Sufen.
Seeing the two people trying to compromise, Lu Sufen felt angry and anxious. Wasn't it her fault in the end because she was unreasonable?
"Ahem, big brother, you two should get up first. I was planning to just pretend I had never seen you and live our own lives..."
Lin Rui's words made Lin Zixing and Lan Xin's hearts beat fast. They didn't think so. They had lived in poverty for too long. Now they saw that their brothers and parents were living a good life. They were once a part of the family, so how could they not share in the joy.
Lin Zixing: "You can't write two characters for the word 'Lin' with one stroke. Now that our family is reunited, it's a blessing from heaven. We will definitely be reunited as a family."
"Okay! Since big brother said so, let's be frank. You can return to the Lin family, but the status of the wife you marry and the two children cannot surpass that of your eldest sister-in-law. You must serve tea to your eldest sister-in-law as a concubine. The two children are also born to me. The family depends entirely on Lin Mu to support it."
"How can this be possible!" Lin Zixing refused immediately. The twins were his sweethearts. The status of a legitimate son and a illegitimate son of a wealthy family was very different. The status of a illegitimate son in the family was only slightly better than that of a slave. How could he let his children suffer such an injustice?
He looked up at Lin Mu, wanting his eldest son to plead with his brothers, but he saw that Lin Mu looked at him with cold and distant eyes.
He could only look at Lin Rui and plead again: "Brother Rui, didn't we agree before that we could either have equal wives or divorce?"
Lu Sufen stood up quickly, pointed at his nose and cursed, "I gave birth to children, took care of my parents, and almost went blind from embroidery. And you came back without any care, and you're even worse than me abdicating and leaving my position as wife to this person next in line?"
"Lin Zihang, I want to ask you, you're rushing to acknowledge us now that the Lin family is prosperous. If the Lin family wasn't prosperous, and we were still peasants in Huangmo Pass, living a difficult life, what would you do? You're pretending to be ignorant and never want to have anything to do with us for the rest of your life!"
Lin Zixing was speechless after hearing what Lu Sufen said. Lan Xin knelt in front of Lu Sufen and pleaded: "I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The crying and shouting at home right now is so loud that it makes my eardrums hurt.
"Shut up!" Lin Rui couldn't help but shout loudly to prevent this farce from developing further.
All the noises suddenly returned to silence, and everyone looked at Lin Rui.
Lin Rui simply gave Lin Zixing two choices: "If the eldest sister-in-law agrees, then Lan Xin will be a concubine and enter the Lin family. If the eldest sister-in-law disagrees, you and Lan Xin and her son will continue to live outside the mansion, and it will be as if you have never recognized your relationship. You and your family will not come today!"
What Lin Rui values most is his eldest nephew. Since he traveled through time and space, they have suffered together since fleeing famine, and it was his sister-in-law who supported each other. He could not let Lin Mu and his mother suffer for Lin Zixing.
Having said this, he left, waving his sleeves.
Lin Zixing looked at his parents and pleaded, "Mom and Dad, Huang Dou and Hei Dou are innocent. They should have had a bright future. Can't..."
Lu Sufen also stood up with Lin Mu's support. "A bright future is earned through one's own efforts, not by their uncle. If you want your son to be prosperous, you, as a father, should work hard. I will grant your wish and not let you enter the Lin family."
Lu Sufen also expressed her attitude and directly rejected the possibility of Lan Xin becoming a concubine.
Lin Rui's attitude was also clearly expressed. He had made up his mind to stand on the side of his sister-in-law and nephew.
"Dad, Mom..."
Lin Zixing begged, and Lin Changxi and Feng Zhenniang were also in a dilemma. Lin Rui never made decisions or made comments on the many trivial matters of the Lin family on weekdays, but he was firm in his attitude on today's matter and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Even though the two elders felt sorry for their eldest son, their eldest daughter-in-law and grandson had their attitudes set, especially since Lin Rui was so decisive, so they couldn't compromise even if they wanted to.
Feng Zhenniang still felt sorry for her son, so she asked Xiao An to take out a lot of her own money from her own cabinet and put it into her eldest son's arms: "From now on, we can treat each other as relatives."
