Chapter 173 Might as well just stay in bed and die of laziness every day.
"Oh my god, you can't use me anyway. You want me to make money, but unfortunately Lin Dayou doesn't want women."
"On the contrary, it's your son, with his fat head and big brain, who's full of strength. Don't you know to let him go out and earn money?"
Lin Xiaowu slapped away the finger that Lin Laowu was pointing at him with, saying something that was so infuriating that it would kill him to speak such blunt truths.
"You, you, you really don't respect me as your mother-in-law, do you?!"
"And another thing, a woman is supposed to obey her husband after marriage. How can you look down on your own man like that??"
Seeing Lin Xiao Wu's disdainful look towards her son, Old Madam Lin felt a tightness in her chest. She thought that Lin Xiao Wu's contempt for her son was a form of contempt for her, and she almost fainted from anger.
What kind of ancestor did she invite back? Not only does she not do any work, but she also lies in bed all day long. Yesterday, she was beaten, and this lazy woman didn't even know to help fight back. It's infuriating!
"You're such a big guy, you practically fill my eyes, how could I not take you seriously?"
"And another thing, you say I look down on your son, then tell me, what has he done to earn my respect? All he does all day is fool around with those other women."
"Slap!" Lin Xiaowu was speaking enthusiastically when she was slapped and fell to the ground on her right side.
Lin Daguang and Lin Lao Wu were also startled by the sound of the slap and both looked at the person who slapped Lin Xiao Wu.
They were all startled when they saw the old man's sinister expression.
"Stay in this house if you want, get out if you don't." Old Man Lin said coldly, as if he could see the frightened expressions on Lin Daguang and Old Madam Lin's faces.
"Fine, your Lin family is something else. Just you wait and see." Lin Xiaowu was utterly disappointed in the Lin family. Concealing the resentment in her eyes, she got up, left these words behind, and stormed out the door.
"Hey, what are you doing? As a father-in-law, you're hitting your daughter-in-law! Now that she's run away, let's see what you're going to do!" Old Mrs. Lin slapped her thigh in anger when she saw Little Mrs. Lin run away.
In order to persuade her brother to allow Lin Xiaowu to return, she spent nearly one tael of silver to buy gifts and send them over.
Now look what happened, she hasn't even been back for three days, and she's been beaten up again. All the money she spent has gone down the drain.
"It's good that she's gone. A woman who doesn't take her husband seriously is better off without her." Old Man Lin glared at Old Mrs. Lin. How dare this wretched woman blame him.
"You think you've got it all figured out? What will you do if you drive your son's wife away?" There's no money left in the family to find a wife for their son.
"What should we do? Isn't Luo Dan going to marry into the Wang family soon? Do they really think they can just take away our young virgin without paying a single penny of dowry? Don't even think about it." Before she even married into the Wang family, Old Man Lin was already scheming about Lin Luo Dan's betrothal gifts.
Lin Luodan, who lived in the west wing, naturally heard what Old Man Lin said. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a deformed shape.
"Damn old hag, he didn't even prepare a dowry for me, and he's already eyeing my betrothal gifts..." Thinking that the Wang family hadn't come to offer betrothal gifts for so long, Lin Luodan had a bad feeling.
In order to escape this nightmarish family as soon as possible, Lin Luodan gritted her teeth, opened the door, and ran out.
"That girl Luo Dan is gone," Old Madam Wu, who was in Lin Daguang's room, asked Old Man Lin uncertainly when she heard the sound of a door opening and closing coming from the west wing.
"It looks like she's gone out." Old Man Lin naturally heard Lin Luodan running out.
It seems that Old Man Lin was deliberately saying those words to Lin Luomei; the old couple had set a trap for Lin Luomei.
"Father, Mother, what are you talking about? Where is Danzi going so early?" Lin Daguang was still unaware of his parents' plans and was completely confused.
"Where could that brat have gone? I've been scolding her all morning, she must have gone to cut pig feed." Seeing Lin Daguang's curious look, Old Mrs. Lin didn't intend to tell him about the plan the old couple had come up with in the middle of the night, and just made up an excuse to brush it off.
"Oh, if there's nothing else, I'll take another nap." Ever since Yang Qian'ao came to ask for money, he had seen through his parents' true colors; all they cared about was money.
Therefore, Lin Daguang did not intend to get up and work, but chose to continue lying in bed.
"I'm telling you, you're really too lazy to even get up and help with all the housework. Your father and I are getting old, how can you bear to do this to us..." Old Mrs. Lin complained as she looked at her son, who was covered in fat, and continued to lie on the bed.
"Mother, I don't like hearing what you're saying. If you had treated that ingrate Dayou better back then, we might be living the high life with him by now." Lin Daguang shamelessly said such shameless words.
"Pah! Don't mention that kind of depraved scum in front of me. Even if we weren't good to him, we still raised him. Now that he's made it big, he's rushing to distance himself from us. He'll get his comeuppance sooner or later..."
Whenever Lin Dayou is mentioned, Old Mrs. Lin explodes like a bomb, unleashing the most offensive and nasty words.
"Alright, stop spouting nonsense." The mention of Lin Dayou made the old man angry.
He never imagined that Lin Dayou, whom they looked down upon the most and always treated like a slave, would one day become so successful.
"Dad, are you really willing to just watch Lian Dayou get richer and richer while our family is practically destitute?"
Lying in bed, Lin Daguang felt a surge of jealousy when he thought about how much better off Lin Dayou was than him. He wanted to instigate the old man to ask Lin Dayou for money.
"Hmph, what can you do if you're not happy? Do you want to get a beating?" The mention of the beating made Old Man Lin's buttocks ache, and he resented Lin Dayou even more.
He was beaten with twenty strokes of the cane, and his buttocks are still raw and bleeding. Even the slightest movement causes him excruciating pain.
The family didn't have enough money to treat the injury on his buttocks, so the two elders decided to target Lin Luomei.
Lin Luodan ran away—
Following the route I had memorized, I ran all the way to Wangjia Village.
Just then, they saw Wang Guangrong hurriedly clutching his stomach and running towards the grove of trees not far from the Wang family's house.
As Lin Luodan recalled the stories circulating in the village about her grandmother's chance encounter with her grandfather when she was young, a confident smile appeared on her lips as she gracefully walked towards the grove where Wang Guangrong was.
"Ouch!" Lin Luodan, who was hiding behind a big tree, pretended to lose her balance when she saw Wang Guangrong walking over, and fell out from behind the tree.
