The eldest wife of the Lin family is the mother of the fifth wife. This time she came to the Ren family for Ren Yaoyu's matter.
Ren Yaoqi changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests and went to Ronghuayuan with Li and Ren Yaohua.
This wasn't the first time Ren Yaoqi had met Mrs. Lin. The Lin and Ren families were close, always visiting during festivals and holidays. They would also visit each other whenever there was a wedding or funeral.
Mrs. Lin and Old Mrs. Ren were of the same generation, but she was much younger and looked about 50% like Mrs. Lin, though a bit rounder. Ren Yaoyu actually looked more like her, so it was no wonder that Mrs. Lin doted on her granddaughter, Ren Yaoyu.
When Ren Yaoqi arrived, the eldest wife and Ren Yaoting were already there.
Seeing Li and Ren Yaoqi coming, Madam Lin stopped talking and looked at Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua with a friendly smile and a hint of joking, "Oh, these two sisters are really different every year. Madam Three is really blessed."
Mrs. Lin is now the head lady of the Lin family, but compared with Mrs. Ren, she is more friendly and less arrogant. She always smiles when she meets people and looks familiar with everyone. She is very popular among the ladies in Yunyang City.
Mrs. Li brought Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to pay her respects. She held the two sisters by the hand, and when they stood up, she held their hands tightly, as if she was very pleased. "I always think that the girls from the Ren family are very popular, unlike those naughty girls from our Lin family who are almost like the boys who are jumping up and down like the roofs."
Everyone likes to hear good words. Old Mrs. Ren looked better, and Mrs. Li said a few humble words.
Mrs. Lin asked the two sisters a lot of questions before letting them sit down.
Ren Yaoqi listened as Mrs. Lin and Old Lady Ren chatted about family matters, from the marriage between the Li and Zhang families to the 20% increase in the price of old ginseng imported from Guandong since the beginning of spring. She was witty and her voice was crisp, making even ordinary things more interesting when she talked about them. Even Old Lady Ren couldn't help but listen.
All in all, Mrs. Lin was a very talkative person. However, her conversation was dominated by recent interesting events in Yunyang City, and she never mentioned her daughter or granddaughter. It seemed as if she was really visiting the Ren family this time just to visit.
Finally, after three cups of tea, when the atmosphere in the room was harmonious and Mrs. Ren was smiling, Mrs. Lin mentioned the purpose of her visit today.
"I know my daughter's personality. It's a blessing that she married into the Ren family. If she had married someone else... Oh! Mother-in-law, I'm so sorry for you all these years!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she admitted her fault. Old Madam Ren softened her tone and had to speak up for Lin: "I watched the fifth daughter-in-law grow up. She's like my own daughter. She's just straightforward. I don't believe she has any bad intentions."
Mrs. Lin sighed and expressed gratitude when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry to have put you in a difficult position."
Mrs. Lin was an expert at adjusting the atmosphere of the conversation, and the atmosphere between the two parties remained harmonious. Before Mrs. Lin could even speak, Old Lady Ren agreed to let her visit Mrs. Lin and Ren Yaoyu.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Let's forget about Huijun. With her temper, it's better to give her a cold shoulder and let her learn a lesson. I think the punishment from my mother-in-law was quite light. I'll go check on Yu'er. Then I can go back and report to the old lady."
Mrs. Lin had rushed over after receiving the news, and naturally knew that Master Lin Wu was staying with Mrs. Lin Wu. Being a smart person, she naturally wouldn't interrupt the couple's reconciliation at this time. However, she was really worried about her granddaughter and wanted to go check on her and ask questions.
Old Madam Ren nodded and told Madam Ren, "Accompany your mother-in-law to visit Yu'er."
Mrs. Lin said hurriedly, "The Madam is busy, so why does she need her company?" Then she glanced at the girls from the Ren family and said with a smile, "How about my mother-in-law send a girl to accompany me? I like these girls very much. Don't be reluctant to let them go."
