The captain looked like he was about to defecate.
Was Grandma Yang protecting him?
They probably wanted to use Yang Lin to force Wan Yue to agree to accept their dried vegetables, and Yang Lin might even have to do the hard work of drying the vegetables.
This idea surprised the captain.
Why would he think that?
He stroked his chin and carefully recalled the details he had previously overlooked. At this moment, they seemed to be magnified. Every time there was a conflict between Lu Rong and the Yang family, Old Madam Yang would pretend to preside over the so-called justice and stand in front of Yang Lin. In fact, she was putting Yang Lin on the opposite side of the Lu family, causing conflict between Yang Lin and the Lu family, implying that only she and the Yang family would stand behind Yang Lin.
If Yang Lin were a stranger, then it wouldn't matter.
But he is a man of the Lu family, Lu Rong's husband, and he has always stood on the opposite side of Lu Rong. Their marital relationship has long been undermined.
Yang Lin and Old Lady Yang grew increasingly close.
If Old Lady Yang really had Yang Lin's best interests at heart, then that would be fine.
If the Lu family can't tolerate Yang Lin, then Yang Lin should divorce Lu Rong and she should just bring him home. Once the Yang family has a man, things won't be so bad.
But clearly she didn't have that idea.
The captain's gaze fell on the old lady with bound feet. Old Lady Yang was also a legendary figure. She used to be a maid in a wealthy family, but after the reforms, she reported her own mistress and gained land.
After getting married, she devoted herself to being a stay-at-home matriarch. Even before her mother-in-law died, she had her completely under her thumb. She used her husband and son to fight against her in-laws, and finally succeeded in separating the family property. Everyone praised her highly.
She had a firm grasp on Yang Lin's psychology, widening the gap between him and Lu Rong.
As his relationship with Lu Rong deteriorated, Yang Lin became increasingly dependent on the Yang family.
Grandma Yang's abacus was clattering away.
He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Protecting you? Do you think Wanyue would really beat you up?"
He scoffed, "If she wanted to beat you up, you and your mother would be at the hospital by now."
Yang Lin wanted to refute.
The captain interrupted him abruptly, his voice weary, "Yang Lin, although you are a member of the Yang family, you clearly stated when you married into the Lu family that, apart from retaining your surname,..."
You have no connection with the Yang family anymore.
He finally understood that the source of this conflict was the Yang family.
"Why is it no longer a problem? I married Lu Rong, I didn't sell myself to her!" Yang Lin retorted indignantly.
"Marry?"
Lu Rong walked over, raised his hand and slapped him across the face. "Yang Lin, look carefully. It was my Lu family who married you. Back then, your mother demanded an exorbitant dowry of eight hundred yuan and sold you to my family."
“Yang Lin’s wife, you can’t say that. My family was also struggling back then, how could we sell ourselves?” Old Mrs. Yang spoke up at the right time. “Although we asked for eight hundred yuan, all of that money was used to treat Yang Lin’s father’s illness.”
Lu Rong glanced at the old woman and asked, "Grandma, are you sure you gave all of it to Yang Lin's father for treatment?"
Grandma Yang panicked.
She stubbornly insisted, "If Yang Lin's father hadn't been seriously ill, how could we have let our son become a live-in son-in-law? He's my only son." She then squatted down on the ground and started crying at the top of her lungs.
Lu Rong remained unmoved. She had seen many similar scenes over the years and had gradually become numb to them.
“Lu Rong, don’t think you can control my family just because you have a little money. I married you, and everything in the Lu family will be mine. What’s wrong with me paying for my father’s medical treatment?” Yang Lin’s heart softened completely when he saw his mother crying.
Lu Rong slapped him in the face in public and even insulted his family.
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated.
He picked up the rake from the ground, his posture suggesting he was about to fight Lu Rong to the death.
"Stop him!" the captain shouted.
