Chapter 68 Attacking the Lin Family
Lin's mother hesitated, not wanting to say anything unpleasant herself.
Second sister-in-law Guo was not so superstitious.
"Three times? Your little nephew is almost starving to death! Don't you know that? You're so heartless, going back to your parents' house empty-handed. I'm being lenient by not beating you!"
After hearing this, Lin Jingyi nudged Liu Zhenghong and told him to go outside to play.
She didn't want her son to see her arguing with her family like this.
"Second sister-in-law! You can see how much I gave to my family in the past, and you can see how much I spent. Why are you saying this in front of my child today?"
"Mom! Is this how you see her treating me? I always bring good things back to my parents' home, and it's only been three times that I didn't bring anything. How can you be so quick to show your true colors?" Lin Jingyi laughed self-deprecatingly.
Lin's mother turned her face away, feeling both unbearable and helpless.
Guo said, "What do you want your mother to say? This family is already struggling enough. How long do you expect me to keep pretending for you? Can't you read the room? Are you blind?"
How many times do we have to remind you? This is the third time! You're such a grown girl, you should be more sensible by now!
Why do you need your mother to remind you? Aren't you ashamed, Lin Jingyi?
Lin Jingyi's face flushed with shame and anger at her sister-in-law Guo's mockery.
She pursed her lips and argued with her second sister-in-law again.
Lin Jingyi had the upper hand; most of the household items were purchased by her for her family. She was right!
Second sister-in-law Guo was always an outsider!
These words stung Guo's heart. Seeing that Lin's mother didn't want to get involved, Guo gritted her teeth. Just then, she heard a noise outside the door.
My brother-in-law and husband have returned.
Guo immediately ran out and told her husband, Lin Youtian, about it. Lin Youtian was so angry that he came in and slapped Lin Jingyi!
"How dare you speak to your second sister-in-law like that? We've already given you face by letting you go back to your parents' home! Don't you know to bring something to show your respect to your mother and second sister-in-law?"
How dare you say such things to your second sister-in-law! You deserve to die! Go back to your husband's family! You're not welcome here! Want some water? Go drink horse piss instead!
Lin Youtian's words were particularly hurtful, stinging even more than a slap on the face.
Lin Jingyi collapsed to the ground, feeling unwell all over.
With her older brother fanning the flames and accusing her of lacking filial piety, Lin's mother shook her head helplessly, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
The whole family shares this attitude.
Lin Jingyi ran out crying and saw Liu Zhenghong leaning against the door, peeking in. He was stunned.
She ran outside with her son in her arms, bumping into her sister-in-law, Yuan, but didn't bother to acknowledge her.
And so, she went back to her husband's house in tears.
She quickly tidied herself up on the way, not wanting Zhao Fengxiu and the others to see her.
But the slap mark left on her face by her second brother was still clearly visible.
Let's go back to before the meal.
Lin Jingyi covered her face and cried, while Liu Zhenghong and his three children nestled beside her.
Liu Jianguo fell silent.
Liu Jiancheng concluded, "It turns out it was the second brother's brother-in-law, and the eldest brother-in-law joined in the cursing. What happened to the second sister-in-law's filial piety all these years?"
Liu Jiangong nodded. "It seems Mom was right. Second sister-in-law really wasted her time."
Liu Jianguo...
"Waaaaah!" Lin Jingyi felt even more upset after hearing their analysis.
Since she had lost face in her parents' home, and it was no different in her husband's home, she had no more scruples and just kept crying and wailing.
Zhao Fengxiu was annoyed by the wailing.
Bang!
Zhao Fengxiu slammed her hand on the table and roared, "What are you crying for? You're going to cry away all the good fortune in this family! Have some backbone, will you?"
Lin Jingyi cried, "I'm useless, I have nothing, sob sob sob."
Liu Zhenghong's third child said in a childish voice, "Mommy, you still have us."
The mother and her four children huddled together, which made Liu Jianguo fall silent once again.
Zhao Fengxiu pointed at Liu Jianguo and said, "Are you stupid? You don't care that your wife is being bullied? She married you, she's yours in life and in death!"
How did you treat her? Couldn't you at least say something, even if you're not going to?
Liu Jianguo sighed, "She brought this on herself. Mom, you're right. It's not right to support her family like this. It's like her good intentions have been wasted."
I know the story of the farmer and the snake; I just taught it to the kids recently. So what if he slapped me? After all, he's my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law has already scolded me; what can I possibly do?
It's better to tell her to stop coming back to her parents' house so often. She's like a dog that can't be fed; let it go.
As Zhao Fengxiu amassed more and more savings, Liu Jianguo became increasingly aware of the situation.
No matter what, your maternal family is still just your maternal family.
Coupled with his wife's current predicament, Liu Jianguo suddenly had many thoughts: what had he gained from such sincere dedication?
I still got a cold shoulder.
Liu Shiping and the others fell silent, never expecting the Lin family to go so far!
So realistic, so straightforward with Lin Jingyi!
No matter what, Lin Jingyi has been a member of the Liu family for about five years.
The others didn't know what to say, as there was no one to lead the group.
Liu Jianguo was Lin Jingyi's husband, and after he said those words, everyone else assumed that the matter was over.
They were just about to get up.
Zhao Fengxiu suddenly said, "We can't let this go! The Lin family is going too far! Even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least consider the Buddha! Even when beating a dog, we should consider its owner!"
The Lin family beat Jingyi up without a second thought. Do they think the Liu family doesn't exist? Third, fourth, and fifth sons! Can you swallow this insult? Second son, are you a coward, a spineless coward?
The Lin family is bullying us, bullying the Liu family! And you just stand by and watch?!
Zhao Fengxiu's words stunned them.
Lin Jingyi was stunned. It sounded comforting, but something felt off.
Liu Jianguo frowned in confusion, "Then Mom, what do you plan to do?"
Liu Jianbang remained silent, watching quietly.
Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong were ready to go. "Mom, just give the orders! We know your tricks!"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "I only have one thing to say! Why is the Lin family bullying the Liu family? Haven't Jingyi given us enough financial support over the years? Tell me."
They dare to mess with our people? We'll go to the Lin family tomorrow and see what kind of faces they have! We'll settle accounts with them!
"Everyone, wash up and go to bed. We'll storm the Lin family tomorrow!"
Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong cheered, "Where else can you find the energy to work like this?"
Liu Jianguo was stunned. "Mom, I have to go again tomorrow..."
"Go if you want, don't go if you don't want to! We won't miss you, and you won't get any anyway!" Zhao Fengxiu declared.
Realizing the changes in his mother's behavior and style lately, Liu Jianguo gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go!"
The next day.
Liu Shiping continued to run the shop alone.
Zhao Fengxiu brought her four sons, Liu Jianguo, Liu Jianbang, Liu Jiancheng, and Liu Jiangong, and her nephew, Liu Zhenyan—five men in total!
With their daughter-in-law Lin Jingyi included, the seven of them set off!
Linjia Village, in front of the Linjia mud courtyard.
The seven people looked at each other in surprise. Zhao Fengxiu gestured, and Lin Jingyi had no choice but to knock on the door and call out, "Mom, I'm back!"
There was no response for a long time.
After waiting for several minutes, no one came.
There were few people around, and the Lin family was even busier because Lin Jingyi was no longer providing financial support.
When Lin Jingyi came, he naturally couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.
Seeing this, Zhao Fengxiu glanced at them coldly and gestured to Liu Jiancheng and the others. The three of them blatantly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, opening the wooden door from the inside!
Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianbang were both dumbfounded.
The group entered the courtyard, and only then did Lin's mother come out, where she was shocked to see what was happening.
"Mother-in-law, what brings you here?" Lin's mother was initially shocked, then forced a smile as she observed how they entered.
