Chapter 25: Take advantage of your illness to get your money

"ah!"

Jia's mother just lay down with a smile on her face. As an old woman, she couldn't stand not getting some sleep. As soon as she lay down, she heard a sudden thunder outside.

“Ahhhh!”

“Ahhhhh…”

…

"What happened?" Jia's mother had to get up and go outside to see what happened. She saw all the bedding, pillows, and backrests scattered on the ground. She felt a throbbing pain in her temples. She looked at her granddaughter who was silent beside her and hugged her with heartache.

"Good Yu'er? What's wrong?"

"Grandma... sob, sob." When Lin Daiyu received Shen Ajiao's look, she threw away her handkerchief and cried heartbrokenly. Pear blossom Daiyu, seeing tears and smelling sadness.

Feeling distressed, Jia's mother kept comforting Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu reluctantly said, "Grandma, do you dislike me?"

Mother Jia was shocked. "How can you say that? Grandma loves you the most. How could you think that?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at Shen Ajiao who was watching the show on the side and said, "That means my cousin doesn't like me."

"What do you mean?"

Mother Jia was confused. How could Baoyu not like Daiyu? It was impossible!

"Then why are there cockroaches on the bed? Woohoo, Yu'er is scared."

Seeing this, Shen Ajiao started to cry, "Old lady, if you don't like us, we'll just leave. How can you scare us?"

"I just heard the maid say that this is... the place where the nobleman lives. This... this... oh, how can I say this? It's so embarrassing!"

As she spoke, Shen Ajiao hugged Lin Daiyu and they both burst into tears. Jia's mother felt that the sky was dark and that dark clouds were pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Good child, no, no, listen to me, Baoyu...he hasn't lived here for a long time. It was like this when he was a child, but now that he is grown up, I...I asked him to move out." Jia's mother was anxious and incoherent, not knowing what to say. Her mind was full of why this happened?

"Since this isn't the residence of the nobleman, then the old lady doesn't like us and wants to kick us out. This... everyone in the room can testify that there was a cockroach on the bed." Shen Ajiao gestured exaggeratedly, and glanced at the bed with a lingering fear.

"Old lady, I'm afraid we don't dare lie on this bed anymore!"

"Please let us go!"

"After all, our master is a third-rank official. He is here to visit relatives and friends, not to seek refuge because he is in trouble. How can I not feel chilled by this?"

"Ooooooooo, ma'am, I'm scared!"

…

"Mrs. Lin...Yu'er..."

Jia's mother was so anxious that she wanted the two Yu'ers to create an opportunity to please the new wife, but she never thought it would turn out like this?

This quilt is not only changed and washed every day, but it is also dried every day. It is left there for three days and then washed every other day. How could there be cockroaches?

Not to mention a cockroach, she had never seen even a small insect in all the years she had lived here. Could it be that Shen Ajiao did it on purpose? Who would use this to scare others? Seeing that the maids and servants in the house all looked scared, Jia's mother sighed.

"Someone check it out for me!"

When they checked, they found that Baoyu was caught climbing up the window at the door.

Seeing Baoyu being brought in by the servants, Jia's mother was furious, "You evil creature!"

"The old lady will decide for us."

Shen A-jiao looked at Jia Mu, who had a pig-like face, and laughed like a pig in her heart.

[Goose, goose, God help me, why is Baoyu here? 】

[Oh my god, is this the day I kill everyone today? ]

"Grandfather, oh, it hurts." Baoyu touched his ear that was about to be pinched off, and looked at Lin Daiyu embarrassedly, "I came to see my sister."

Jia's mother looked better. "Why don't you go through the door?"

Baoyu rubbed his cheeks and said, "They said the old man was asleep and didn't let anyone in, so I..." He glanced at Lin Daiyu secretly, "I missed the old man, so I climbed out the window."

"You evil beast, have you forgotten what I taught you every day?" Jia's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not stupid and did not say it directly. Save him.

She was ready to teach Baoyu a lesson and let him go, but then Shen Ajiao spoke up, "You...you can't leave!"

"No one can walk out of this door today!"

Jia's mother was stunned...what is this for?

[What to do? Of course I'm going to kill you while you're sick, ha ha ha! ]

"My innocent girl was climbed over the wall by someone?"

"Old lady, don't you want to give me an explanation?"

[Hahaha, Lin Baobao, take a closer look at who this Baoyu is.]

Lin Daiyu: Madam, you are so nice. In fact, there is no need for you to demonstrate, I know it all.

"This... this... Let's start with He. It's nothing. Mrs. Lin, you and I are both here. It won't cause any trouble. It's just a kid's nonsense.

If you are not satisfied, just take him out and beat him up, but don't tell anyone and ruin the reputation of the two children."

Shen Ajiao...bad thing, I forgot, this concerns Lin Daiyu's reputation, eh...hehehe

[Ahhhhh, this old lady is still setting a trap for me. Dogs love to eat shit, but you blame the person who pooped? ]

[It's really like a blind man playing the violin, you are talking nonsense! ]

Lin Daiyu: Madam, could you please be more polite? My ears can't stand it.

"Ma'am! This is our first time here!"

"Go out and speak, go out and speak, and see who has a bad reputation!"

[Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, you are capable of going out and telling others about it? See how your beloved Baoyu can survive in Beijing. Anyway, you dare not tell others about it, and don't let your family shame be exposed. ]

"Mrs. Lin, please speak nicely. I know Baoyu did something wrong, and I have no complaints about beating and scolding me, but this must not be leaked out." Jia's mother was like an ant on a hot pot. This was not her own daughter, Jia Min. She would not care about Yu'er's reputation.

This is a vicious stepmother. Yu'er's bad reputation just gave her a place to live. What a vicious woman. Yu'er, you have suffered so much. I pity your daughter. You died unjustly.

Mother Jia looked at Baoyu, who looked like a quail, and felt so distressed. She thought that the child was frightened. What would she do if he got hurt?

I sighed and decided to risk it all today for Baoyu and Yuer's reputation!

"Does this seem appropriate to Mrs. Lin? Baoyu will be confined to his room for three months."

"Ah, ancestor, I don't..."

"Shut up! You evil creature!" Jia's mother glared at Baoyu fiercely and said, "Get out of the way."

"Yu'er is coming to the capital for the first time and has no one to rely on. As your grandmother, I am always worried. So, I will give you two acres of good land in Tongzhou, as well as a hill and a farm. This will be your meeting gift to you."

【Good guys, so good, so good! 】

[But why didn't you bring out the meeting gift earlier? Didn't you prepare it in the first place? ]

Lin Daiyu paused and said: Madam, you are so insightful.

"This... this is against the rules."

"It's okay. When your mother was alive, I loved her the most. Now your grandmother loves you the most."

【Good man, use your mouth to hurt. 】
