"Not only do I have to return the betrothal gifts, but I will also leave the large electronic appliances and dowry at home. I will take some of my own things back with me."
After Lin Xiaoman said this, Jiang Fengzhen and Lin Dahai, as well as Lin Yue, Lin Xi and Lin Shan, except for the two children who had no idea about money, all looked shocked and full of disbelief.
"Absolutely not!" Jiang Fengzhen came back to her senses and quickly waved her hands, her face full of emotion. "Xiaoxiao, I know you're doing this for our own good, but we can't just watch you go down the abyss! If your dad finds you a good family, we don't object, but someone like Liu Mazi... seriously, don't do anything stupid!"
Lin Dahai, who was originally still thinking about the dowry and home appliances, felt guilty and said, "Don't worry about the money. You can't go back and marry someone like Liu Mazi just because of this. If you really do that, won't we also sell you out? In that case, what's the difference between us and your father?"
"Mom and Dad, I volunteered. Ever since I married into your family, you've treated me like your own daughter. I really..." Lin Xiaoman wiped her tears. "I can only blame the heavens for being blind. Now that my family is in this situation, I'll go back and get the betrothal gifts back to help the family. I want to do my part for this family."
What Lin Xiaoman said was simply heartfelt.
"Besides, even though my dad is a bad person, he's still my biological father. If I go back and make a scene, I think I can ruin this thing. If it really doesn't work, I'll tell him that if he dares to marry me to Liu Mazi, I'll kill myself with rat poison and the Liu family. I don't believe he'd dare marry me off. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself..."
Blah blah blah, Lin Xiaoman used his eloquence and made such a long speech that the man was shaken.
In the evening, after returning to their rooms, the old couple Lin Dahai and Jiang Fengzhen started chatting in private, and soon they felt that what Lin Xiaoman said was feasible.
Although Lin Dahai and Jiang Fengzhen are both kind-hearted and good people, they are definitely not pushovers and are both realistic.
My daughter-in-law is in poor health now and is very sick. If this continues for a long time, we don’t know what will happen to her. It is impossible to say that there is no resentment at all.
If he really can’t get better, what will happen to this family?
The daughter-in-law is willing to return to her parents' home on her own, and is willing to leave the dowry they bought for her, and can also return the betrothal gift. They really got a huge bargain.
They also want to have backbone, they also want to be upright and noble, they also want to treat their daughter-in-law well even if their eldest son is gone... But without money, they really can't move an inch.
The next day, Lin Xiaoman talked to Jiang Fengzhen again, and it was obvious that she agreed. Lin Xiaoman continued to work hard.
When Mu Weimin arrived, Jiang Fengzhen and Lin Dahai had been completely convinced, and even the roles of the good cop and the bad cop had been decided.
The seven people in the Lin family were all so moved by Lin Xiaoman that they could only cry tears of gratitude.
The daughter-in-law and sister-in-law did this all for them!
That day, Mu Weimin brought Wang Cuifen to the Lin family at around nine o'clock in the morning.
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here. Come in and sit down." Even though she knew exactly why they came, Jiang Fengzhen still welcomed them in warmly.
On the one hand, the most painful time has passed and time will smooth everything out. On the other hand, seeing that her daughter-in-law is so concerned about the family, Jiang Fengzhen feels that if she continues to be so decadent and sick, she will be really sorry for her eldest son and daughter-in-law. So she cheered up.
As her mentality improved, her health also began to improve. Compared to when Lin Chuan was just buried, Jiang Fengzhen was in much better health. Of course, she was not as good as a normal person.
After making some sugar water, Jiang Fengzhen asked Lin Yang and Lin Xing to go and call Lin Dahai back, after all, Mu Weimin was a male guest.
After a few words of comfort and some concern for Lin Xiaoman, Mu Weimin stopped talking and let Wang Cuifen and Jiang Fengzhen talk. The two women chatted about family matters.
After a while, Lin Dahai came back, and Mu Weimin started chatting with him politely, looking concerned and saying all kinds of nice things like "come to us if you have any difficulties."
After talking for more than half an hour and seeing that the groundwork was almost done, Mu Weimin kicked Wang Cuifen under the table.
Wang Cuifen's body stiffened, and she understood. Pulling Jiang Fengzhen, she began to cry with grief. "Mother-in-law, we are both women, and mothers. Today, I will risk my pride and ask you to think about my daughter. Your eldest son is gone, but my Xiaoxiao is still young, only 20 years old, and she doesn't even have a child. Without a child, who will she rely on in the future? Xiaoxiao is a piece of flesh that fell out of my belly. I feel so sorry for her! She has become a widow at such a young age. How will she live in the future..."
Wang Cuifen cried so hard that even though her eyes were blurred by tears, she did not forget to wink at Lin Xiaoman.
"Mother-in-law, please be kind and consider it a good deed. Let Xiaoxiao go back with us. She's still so young. If she stays in your house, her whole life will be ruined! I also know that my son-in-law just left, and it's not appropriate for me to bring this up. However, I really can't bear to see my daughter suffer. I feel so bad, so miserable. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please consider this as a plea from me."
Wang Cuifen cried and yelled, looking like she was about to kneel down. Jiang Fengzhen quickly held her back, "You can't do that! You absolutely can't do that! Mother-in-law, get up first, get up and tell me..."
"Mom, get up." Lin Xiaoman grabbed the person and pulled her up.
"Xiaoxiao, my poor daughter!" Wang Cuifen immediately hugged her and burst into tears. The hand on her back poked her secretly with her fingers, and she shouted, "Go home with your mother, you are still young!" But in her heart she was urging, "Quick, quickly refuse!"
She has acted out her act. As long as her daughter doesn't agree, the child's father cannot force her to leave!
"Father-in-law, if you want to blame me, blame us for being selfish. I can't just watch my daughter become a widow. She's still so young!" Mu Weimin chimed in with a sincere look on his face, acting like a good father who loves his children.
Lin Xiaoman: Haha.
Lin Dahai frowned and took a deep drag on his pipe before slowly saying, "Okay, we don't object, but..."
Mu Weimin was delighted, but when the word "but" came out, he knew it was not that simple.
After dragging out the word, Lin Dahai didn't say anything else and just started smoking his pipe again.
"We have indeed gone too far in this matter. If you have any requests, just tell us directly. We will do our best to fulfill our wishes. Our two families will always be relatives." Mu Weimin, who was a little impatient, made promises one after another and said a lot of nice things.
When Lin Dahai said that, Wang Cuifen was so anxious that she forgot to cry and directly pinched Lin Xiaoman.
How can I go back? If I go back, I will be sold!
Wang Cuifen kept winking at Lin Xiaoman. As long as her daughter said she wanted to stay and said a few words about her willingness to mourn for her son-in-law, the Lin family would have no reason to let her daughter go back to her parents' home!
