Chapter 41: Confused - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
The other members of the Jiang family were completely stunned. Not only them, but everyone else was also overwhelmed by the news.
Mother Jiang sat on a stool beside the table with her arm slung over her shoulder, looking at Jiang Yang solemnly, "Second brother, do you think what Mother Li said is true?"
Jiang Yang nodded dejectedly. Whether he admitted it or not, this was an established fact and others would know it sooner or later.
Aunt Jiang was so angry that she was going to die. Who were Cen Xi and Lin Qing? They were their family's enemies. Now, they were actually in-laws with their enemies?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Lin Shu fiercely.
Lin Shu was frightened by her vicious look and trembled. Lin Shu was not stupid, and almost immediately thought of the cat's guts. So there was a conflict between her in-laws and Lin Qing? So Jiang Yang's strange attitude before was because of Lin Qing and his wife?
It seems like everything has an explanation.
Mrs. Jiang still remembered how much money her family had spent during this period, all because of the aunt and nephew. She snorted with some ill intention and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know yet? A few days ago, our family just lost a sum of money because of your aunt!"
Mrs. Jiang's words filled her with hatred. Mother Jiang was heartbroken about the money, but she didn't dare to offend Lin Qing again. Now that Lin Shu had married into the family, wasn't she a ready-made target?
Moreover, Lin Shu's family asked for a betrothal gift of 66 yuan, which is also a huge sum of money!
All together, the money their family spent on the aunt and nephew this week was more than a hundred. Aunt Jiang felt extremely heartbroken just thinking about it, so the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Shu became more and more ferocious!
Lin Shu was so scared that she hid behind Jiang Yang and lowered her head. She kept cursing Lin Qing in her heart for being innocent. It was all because of them that she had to endure what happened today.
Jiang Yang couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw his mother's attitude, "Mom, Lin Shu just got married and doesn't know what happened before." He couldn't put all the blame on her!
Aunt Li understood that Aunt Jiang wanted to put all the hatred on her new daughter-in-law, so she said, "Aunt Jiang, you can't blame others. What happened between you and Lin Qing was your fault. If you weren't such a bad mouth, you would have gone to talk to her first. She wouldn't have fainted because of you, and she wouldn't have asked you to pay for the medical expenses!"
She said a few simple words so that Lin Shu could understand some of the things that had happened before and avoid being confused.
Sure enough, after listening to this, Lin Shu's lowered eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. She remembered the method her grandmother taught her aunt when she moved that day. She didn't expect that she would use it so soon, and used it on her mother-in-law!
"What..." Aunt Jiang wanted to yell a few more times, but she was stopped by Jiang Yang as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Mom..." Jiang Yang shouted, "Today is my big day, let's not say anything unhappy, let's get started!"
Mother Jiang looked at her son's ugly face and could hardly understand the warning in his eyes. She murmured, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Humph!"
Finally, he glared at Lin Shu: Ha! What a vixen!
The wedding banquet finally went on, but the second half was a little less lively. However, the meat dishes on the table did arouse everyone's enthusiasm and the desire to eat them.
Aunt Su, who was the one who started the conversation, shut up when she found out that Lin Shu was Lin Qing's married niece!
Who knew that Lin Qing was really going to attend his niece's wedding banquet?
Jiang Yang hated Aunt Su for almost ruining his wedding banquet. However, like he said, today was his wedding banquet, and he couldn't lose his temper for no reason and ruin the festive atmosphere, even though the atmosphere had already been half ruined. So he could only hold back his anger!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Cen Xi and Lin Qing, and the same was true for Lin Shu.
The chill in the atmosphere just before the banquet and Aunt Jiang's vicious look made her feel even more resentful.
"Ha~" Lin Qing couldn't help but sneeze while eating.
"Nannan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Mother Lin couldn't help but worry when she heard her daughter sneeze.
This is the result of many years of cultivation. After all, her daughter's body is really too weak. She used to get sick from time to time. This has become a stress response!
Not only her, but also Lin's father, both looked at Lin Qing nervously, and so did Cen Xi.
Except for Brother Lin, Zhang Mei and Lin Wu, everyone else who came to the banquet knew that the young lady of the Lin family was weak. But seeing is believing. It is rare that a sneeze would make others so worried. So how weak is she to make people so nervous?
Zhang Mei couldn't help but curl her lips. Here it comes again. It's always like this. As long as her sister-in-law sneezes, her parents-in-law will become extremely nervous!
Lin Qing quickly comforted her parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm fine. I just sneezed suddenly. Maybe someone said something about me behind my back?" Lin Qing said the last sentence jokingly.
After listening to her, Cen Xi became thoughtful. Thinking about the people in the compound, this was not impossible.
Lin Qing and Cen Xi stayed at her parents' home for another afternoon and did not return to the large compound until mid-afternoon.
As soon as I entered the compound, I was met with Jiangsu Aunt's complicated eyes and her hesitant expression.
Lin Qing's eyes flashed, wow, it seems like he knows all this!
Lin Qing greeted her as usual, "Auntie Su, good afternoon!"
"Good afternoon, good afternoon!" Aunt Su said somewhat awkwardly, "Are you back from your mother's home?"
"Yes!" Before Aunt Su could say anything, Lin Qing started talking about it herself, "Aunt, I didn't expect that! My niece happened to marry the Jiang family in the west wing!" Lin Qing made a surprised expression as if he had just found out.
"Really? We just found out about it!" Aunt Su said hesitantly.
"Oh, it's all my fault. I don't like going out much after I got married. It's been several days since I got married, but I haven't met my nephew-in-law. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it today. I only found out about it today when I heard Cen Xi's introduction when I recognized my relatives!" Lin Qing acted as if he was regretful.
Maybe she really has a talent for acting. Aunt Su was stunned by her frustrated look and immediately believed what she said.
The person who was eavesdropping in the dark believed what she said.
"It's good now. You and your niece have both married into this compound. You can take good care of each other!"
"Yes! I didn't expect that the Jiang family and I have such a relationship! From now on, when I am not in good health, I can ask them to do a lot of inconvenient things. I didn't dare to trouble you before, but now, I won't be embarrassed!" Lin Qing acted as if he was surprised and happy, his eyes sparkling, as if he had found a fat sheep that he could grab.
In the Jiang family's room, Aunt Jiang warned Lin Shu in a low voice, "In the future, you should have less contact with your little aunt, otherwise she will stick to our family like a blood-sucking worm!"
Lin Shu lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering, and responded softly.
Just now, the two of them were hiding by the window and eavesdropping on the conversation between Lin Qing and Aunt Su. When Lin Qing glanced over, she saw that there was a hole in the window on the Jiang family's side. She immediately realized that someone was eavesdropping there, so she took the opportunity to say some specious words.
