Chapter 47, Face Slap
Seeing Aunt Lin and Yan Yishuang walking into the main courtyard, Daohua frowned subconsciously.
She had disliked her father's concubine from the very beginning, ever since the first day she saw her in front of the county government office gate.
Whether it was the fact that she came out to meet Old Lady Yan before Madam Li, or her subsequent series of actions in the backyard, all of them showed that beneath her weak appearance, she had a restless ambition.
Moreover, this person also likes to act weak, just like the white lotus and green tea characters in the novels of the previous life.
When Aunt Lin saw Daohua and the others were there, her eyes flashed. Then she brought Yan Yishuang to the door, smiled at Yan Wenxiu, took the pieces of cloth from the maid, and quickly stepped into the main room.
Daohua raised her eyebrows when she saw her elder brother nodding in response to Aunt Lin with a relaxed expression.
On the side, Yan Yile saw that Aunt Lin had more materials in her hands than them. She immediately looked up at Yan Yishuang who was standing obediently beside Yan Wenxiu, and her lips moved.
Logically speaking, if my uncle divided the materials according to the number of female relatives, they should have received the most.
As expected, my uncle is partial to Aunt Lin and her daughter.
Thinking of this, Yan Yile suddenly looked up at the rice flowers and smiled in his heart.
So what if the eldest sister is the eldest daughter of the Yan family? She is not liked by her uncle and cannot even get any material to make clothes.
Daohua noticed that Yan Yile's eyes were gloating but also revealed a bit of sympathy, and she sighed in her heart. People in ancient times matured very precociously. Yan Yile is not even 8 years old now, but he is just as thoughtful.
Daohua ignored it and turned her attention inside the house.
After Aunt Lin went in, she was fine at first, but something happened in the middle. Yan Zhigao suddenly became angry and dragged the tearful Aunt Lin out of the main room.
Seeing this, the younger generations outside the door were all shocked.
However, Daohua did not react at all. She looked calmly at Aunt Lin being pulled by her adoptive father in a delicate manner, and thought to herself, this guy is really up to something.
Aunt Lin cried and said, "Master, I was wrong. I am just a lowly concubine. Yishuang is my daughter, a concubine's daughter, and is not worthy of being compared with the eldest lady."
Yan Zhigao said angrily, "What's the difference between legitimate daughter and illegitimate daughter? In my eyes, they are all the same. Don't underestimate yourself. Yishuang is no worse than anyone else. I'm putting this on the line today. From now on, if there's Daohua in this family, there's Yishuang as well."
Mrs. Li, who had just stepped out of the room, staggered when she heard this. If Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu had not followed behind her and supported her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
When Daohua saw this, she immediately stepped forward and held Mrs. Li's unusually cold hand.
Looking at her mother whose face turned pale with anger, Daohua looked indifferently at her adoptive father who was protecting his concubine in the yard.
He treats his legitimate daughter and his concubine's daughter the same. Where does he put his wife who works tirelessly to manage the household and brings a generous dowry?
When Yan Zhigao saw that Madam Li’s face turned pale, he immediately realized that what he had said was a bit too much. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but his proud self-esteem did not allow him to bow to his wife, and he froze there for a moment.
Seeing Yan Zhigao seemed to feel guilty, Aunt Lin lowered her head and cried again, "Master, please don't say that. I know my status is low and I dare not have any extravagant expectations. Something as precious as floating bridal brocade is only suitable for young ladies. Yishuang Yishuang is not qualified."
Upon hearing this, the slight guilt that had just appeared on Yan Zhigao's face disappeared immediately. Just when he was about to say something again, Daohua spoke.
"Mrs. Lin, you're my father's concubine, and as a daughter, I shouldn't have any say in your comments. However, in front of so many people, you keep saying 'young lady,' and 'young lady,' and 'young lady,' I really want to ask you, how have I offended you that you always have to bring me into this indirect attack, no matter what?"
Aunt Lin moved her lips and wanted to explain something, but Daohua didn't give her a chance.
"Also, I really don't understand what you just said. They say there's no mother in the world who doesn't love her children. Although Fourth Sister's mother is my mother, you are her biological mother after all, and she is now raised by you. How cruel must you be to not consider her feelings at all and belittle her so brazenly and without hesitation?"
Daohua looked at Yan Yishuang, who was also stunned, and continued, "Fourth sister's father is the magistrate of Linyi County. Why doesn't she have the right to wear floating light brocade?" Then she turned to look at Yan Yishuang and asked, "Has mother treated you badly in terms of food and clothing these years?"
Because of Daohua's question, everyone in the yard looked at Yan Yishuang.
Yan Yishuang was a little nervous being suddenly stared at by so many people. She didn't even bother to look at Aunt Lin and just nodded blankly.
Seeing this, Daohua sneered and looked at Aunt Lin: "Aunt Lin, look, Fourth Sister herself admitted that my mother has never treated her unfairly. From the beginning to the end, it was all you, the one who belittled your own daughter."
“No, I didn’t.”
Daohua interrupted, "Auntie Lin, when I was back home, I heard people say that some people, afraid of being poor, like to covet other people's things and want to take them for themselves."
"But how could someone else's things be given to outsiders? We're not fools. Good things should naturally be kept for our own people. So, those people started to use any means necessary, and there was one method they loved to use the most."
"Do you know what it is?"
"Show weakness and bully the strong!"
"They use their pitiful appearance to gain sympathy from others in order to achieve their ulterior motives."
"Mrs. Lin, do you think this kind of person is disgusting?"
Quiet!
The main courtyard was dead silent!
Everyone stared at Daohua standing next to Madam Li in amazement, as if they had not expected her to be so straightforward and ruthless in exposing Aunt Lin's disguise.
Yan Zhiyuan, who had just heard the news, looked at Daohua with admiration when he heard this, feeling that at this moment he had truly gotten to know his eldest niece.
That’s awesome!
As early as when students donated money and materials to help refugees, he felt that this niece was extraordinary. Now seeing her making the always disguised Lin tremble all over, he was really convinced.
Yan Zhigao, the person involved, was also shocked and didn't even notice that Aunt Lin beside him was a little shaky.
"Bang!"
In the end, Aunt Lin, who was too ashamed to face anyone, could only pretend to faint to escape.
However, before she fell to the ground, Daohua's voice rang out again: "Also, I forgot to mention that as soon as they see something is wrong, this kind of person will pretend to faint."
Aunt Lin, who had already 'fainted', couldn't help but twitch a few times with her tightly closed eyelids.
At this moment, Yan Zhigao finally came to his senses. He immediately squatted down to support Aunt Lin and looked at Daohua with dissatisfaction: "Where did you, a girl from the boudoir, hear such nonsense?"
Daohua smiled and said, "My third uncle told me. He said that life is difficult for women in this world. It will be beneficial to see more and listen more. For example, if you meet an unfaithful man or someone who can't make sense of things, you won't be controlled by him without knowing it."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhigao felt his cheeks and ears burning for some reason. He also felt that other people in the yard were secretly looking at him, which made him a little angry and embarrassed. He looked at Madam Li fiercely and said, "Look at your beautiful daughter. Now she doesn't even care about me, her father."
Madam Li wanted to retort, but Daohua shook her hand and smiled at Yan Zhigao, "Father, you must be mistaken. It's always the father's fault if a son is unfilial. I've never heard of a son being unfilial to his mother. Father, you should reflect on yourself."
"you"
Yan Zhigao stared at the rice flowers in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
"Alright, everyone, shut up!"
Old Mrs. Yan was supported by Aunt Sun and walked out, glaring at Daohua fiercely.
Seeing that her grandmother looked unhappy, Daohua immediately shrank her neck and quickly hid behind Mrs. Li.
Seeing her cowardly look, Old Lady Yan rolled her eyes rudely. Then, she looked at Yan Zhigao in the courtyard with disdain, who couldn't even argue with her own daughter, and angrily said, "Are the maids you keep just for eating? If a concubine falls, do you really need to squat on the ground to help her?"
After saying that, she looked at the other people in the yard and said, "And you guys, what are you all doing here? Waiting for me to treat you to a meal? Get out of here right now. It makes me upset just looking at you."
In an instant, everyone in the yard scattered like birds and beasts.
