Chapter 77: Favoring One over the Other - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Mother Lin didn't care why they came to her house. Now she didn't want to listen, and they were already interfering with her work!
Lin Shu was frightened by Lin's mother's unwelcome attitude. He didn't know what to say and wanted to go back.
But Mrs. Jiang still remembered that when Mother Lin first walked into the compound, she was carrying a lot of bags, and she was absolutely unwilling to give up.
"Grandma, why do you only remember that your daughter lives here? Don't forget that your granddaughter also lives here?" Mrs. Jiang looked at her with an accusing look.
Mother Lin raised her eyes and said, "I am here to see my daughter today. What does it have to do with my granddaughter?" She looked at Lin Shu, and those who were interested hurried away!
"What are you trying to do?" Lin Qing ran out as soon as he heard the noise outside.
"Aunt." Lin Shu called out.
Mrs. Jiang's mind is now full of money and gifts. How can she remember what Mrs. Jiang told her?
"It's our in-laws who are visiting us, so we just come to say hello!"
"Oh? Logically speaking, I am still your aunt-in-law, so why didn't you think of visiting me before?" Lin Qing immediately exposed their shamelessness.
Everyone knew the relationship between the two families, but on the first day Lin Shu got married, she didn't even come to visit. How could she have the nerve to come over today?
Mother Lin's face was frightened, and she slammed the kitchen knife on the chopping board, "Nannan, has Lin Shu never come to your house since you got married?"
Lin Shu and Mrs. Jiang were frightened by her actions!
Of course Lin Qing saw that they just trembled, but so what?
She answered truthfully: "Of course, today is her first time coming to visit!"
"Oh! Since she doesn't want to acknowledge you as her aunt, you don't have to acknowledge her as your niece in the future! Your father and I have separated from her parents today!" Mother Lin also ruthlessly dropped a heavyweight bomb!
What does it mean to have split up?
Mrs. Jiang felt that her brain was not enough. If she remembered correctly, her sister-in-law's father seemed to be the only son in the family. How come he separated from his parents?
Mrs. Jiang looked at Lin Shu next to her as if she were a fool. What was she thinking?
Lin Shu felt embarrassed. She didn't expect her grandmother would not give her any face at all.
Lin's mother didn't care about that. Besides, she had met many people in these years. They chose to come at that time, which obviously meant something else. Why did he ask them what they were doing? He just stood there and did nothing. He knew what they were up to after thinking about it for a while!
Isn't it just because she carried two big bags when she entered the compound before?
Bah! Those dogs were for her girls, and she wanted her to give them to them. What a nice thought!
"Lin Shu, you don't have to pretend to come to my house like this in the future. I know how dissatisfied you and your mother are with your aunt and me, so in the future, don't force yourself to come to my house." The implication is, don't bother my girl in the future!
Lin Shu: “I…” She wanted to explain, but it was also a fact that she hadn’t come to visit in the past few days!
Lin Qing stood by the window, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at the two of them, "If you have nothing else to do, go back!"
As soon as Lin Qing finished talking to Lin Shu, Lin's mother drove them back to the next room, "Nannan, you should also go back to your room and continue studying!"
"Okay!" Lin Qing went back to the bedroom without even looking at them.
She believed that her mother could deal with him with just these two minions.
"What are you two doing here? Do you want to learn cooking from me?" Lin's mother asked the two people who were standing there in a daze.
The two of them quickly shook their heads, "No, no."
"If it's not you, then why don't you leave quickly!" Lin's mother's face had already drooped.
"Grandma, you can't be so partial..." Mrs. Jiang was interrupted by Lin's mother before she could finish her words.
"Come on, stop telling me this nonsense. Let me make it clear to you guys. The things I brought here are for my daughter to see. They have nothing to do with Lin Shu.
Really, logically speaking, I am older than your parents-in-law, how dare you ask me for things? Why don’t you say that you should show respect to me?” Mother Lin directly stretched out her hand towards them with her palm facing up.
How can you have the nerve to think about what I have in my hands? If you want to give something, it should be given to me to show your filial piety to an old man like me!
Lin Shu and Jiang Dasao: "..."
The two of them took a step back at the same time, and Lin's mother pressed on, "What? You two don't want to give it? I am Lin Shu's grandmother, and I should show my respect to my grandmother! You don't want to be unfilial, do you?"
"..." Lin Shu and Mrs. Jiang took two steps back, and even turned around and walked back home to prevent Lin's mother from continuing to ask for filial piety from them!
Tsk, how boring! We haven't even said a few words yet and you're already running away?
Mother Lin hummed happily and continued to prepare her lunch.
As for the two people who fled, they were blocked by Aunt Jiang as soon as they entered the kitchen which was separated from Aunt Jiang's room and Uncle Jiang's room.
Aunt Jiang looked at them gloomily and cursed in a low voice: "Are you idiots? Didn't I tell you not to go to their house to provoke them again? Why are you going there again?"
Mrs. Jiang stubbornly tried to explain to her, “I saw my mother-in-law’s grandmother carrying lots of bags into the compound.” So she wanted to have a piece of the pie!
When Aunt Jiang heard her talking about big bags and small bags, she thought of the second son and his wife who came back home yesterday. They actually brought back a bunch of vegetables. Comparing them with the big bags and small bags today, she had to say that she was jealous!
She only needed to think about it to figure out what was going on in the old lady's mind.
"Does that include yours?" Aunt Jiang asked casually.
"No." The two shook their heads in disappointment!
"Why are you so useless?" Aunt Jiang said with great disgust.
"My grandma said that she has the largest generation share between the two families and asked us to respect her!" Lin Shu said timidly.
"Bah, that's wishful thinking!" Aunt Jiang immediately changed her attitude and said with some disgust.
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Shu with disdain, "Look at you, you are really useless. What's the use of your mother's family?" The return gift was so shabby!
Lin Shu did not dare to resist and could only lower his head and accept the scolding.
Her resentment towards her mother's family grew deeper and deeper, and she blamed everything on them.
She clenched her fists and squeezed her palms. In her heart, she was very jealous that her younger aunt had a mother like her grandmother who could hold everything in her palms. When comparing her with Zhang Mei yesterday, the difference was immediately apparent.
