Chapter 230: Going to ask for money
"lady?"
Madam Zhou felt pain. She covered her face with her hands and looked at Aunt Xue angrily, "You said she was your wife? You little slave, open your eyes and see, she is just a concubine. I am the legitimate wife of the third branch of the Lin family."
Zhou thought that as the legal wife, she could not be weaker than Aunt Xue.
"Our Madam is our master's mother. If she's not Madam, then what is she? You are just a random person from nowhere. Get out of here!"
The old woman said sternly.
Zhou glared at Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue was naturally beautiful, otherwise Uncle Lin would not have liked her.
But because of her long-term suffering in the Lin family, she looked like an old woman in her forties or fifties when she was first exiled.
But at this time, Aunt Xue had regained her youthful appearance, wearing gold and silver jewelry, and was much more elegant than her, the wife of the first wife.
This made a hint of jealousy flash in Zhou's eyes.
Aunt Xue didn't seem to be afraid of her at all, and she had long lost her previous timidity.
Suddenly remembering the purpose of her visit, her voice softened immediately, "Sister, everything that happened before is my fault. I apologize to you."
Aunt Xue frowned and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"My mother-in-law is dead. She was your mother-in-law after all. I don't have money to buy a coffin. I came here to look for my eldest brother and his wife. Since the eldest wife has returned to Chang'an first, you should pay for it."
Uncle Lin owed Boss Hu money and was pressed by him all day long.
After their two daughters ran away from their marriages, they forced their niece Lin Jingchu to marry in their place.
Therefore, after the second and third branches of the Lin family fell out, Uncle Lin took his wife and daughter away from home and disappeared.
Uncle Lin was desperate and set his sights on Madam Wang.
After Mrs. Wang fell asleep, he secretly went to her room and stole all the money she had on her, and only then did he pay off his debt.
Uncle Lin couldn't help but blame his mother in his heart. She refused to give him money when he was in the most difficult time, and he didn't know if she was his biological mother.
The next day, when Mrs. Wang woke up, she found that she had no money left.
She flew into a rage, pointing her finger at Second Uncle Lin and cursing. Second Uncle Lin retorted, "Mother, do you really not care about your son's life and are holding on to that little bit of money? Then let your money support you in your old age."
Uncle Lin changed his expression and left in anger.
Old Madam Wang was so angry that she fell seriously ill.
Uncle Lin couldn't afford the money to treat her, so her illness dragged on.
Boss Hu's house was no longer habitable, so Uncle Lin and his family moved here and there like cats in a roost, and Old Lady Wang followed them around.
However, Zou and Lin Xiu Ze's wife Jiang disliked Madam Wang as a burden, often not giving her food and making indirect complaints about her from time to time.
Old Madam Wang was really patient. She endured from minor illnesses to serious ones for more than two years.
She could never understand how her son and grandson, who used to be the most obedient and respectful to her, became like this. It must have been instigated by her two daughters-in-law.
Before she died, she pointed at Zou and died with her eyes open.
This made Zou afraid. She was afraid that after Mrs. Wang died, she would make trouble for her and would not be able to live in peace.
So, Zou suggested buying a good coffin for Old Lady Wang and burying her in a place with good feng shui.
After all, she is his own mother, so of course Uncle Lin agreed.
But where does this money come from?
Zou complained to her second uncle Lin. She went out to earn money to support the family, but he was so good that he would steal the little money she earned from doing manual labor from time to time to gamble.
Every time I quarreled with him, he would say that he gambled for the sake of the family, in order to make a profit and supplement the family income.
Now, the family can’t even afford twenty cents, let alone buy a coffin for Old Madam Wang.
Second Uncle Lin looked at Lin Xiu Ze and said, "Your grandmother loves you the most. Please give us whatever money you have."
Lin Xiu Ze was startled, "Dad, where do I get it?"
Jiang did have a little money, but he also had to support their son Rui'er.
Jiang would often take Rui'er out to eat because the food cooked by her mother-in-law was not tasty.
The Jiang family gave them a small amount of silver before they were exiled, but it was almost gone in the past two years.
"Grandmother is dead. She's not only Dad's mother, but also the mother of Third Uncle and Eldest Uncle. Why should only our second family pay for it? Dad, why don't you go find Third Uncle and discuss it with him?"
Uncle Lin nodded, thinking that Lin Xiu Ze was right.
The father and son searched for two days and finally found Uncle Lin.
When Uncle Lin heard that his mother had died, he immediately remembered the kindness of Old Madam Wang and cried so hard.
Uncle Lin Er discussed with him the matter of buying a coffin, and Uncle Lin San nodded in agreement, but he didn't have any money.
Since Zhou wants to divorce him, and his daughter and son don't intend to acknowledge him as their father, then don't blame him for being heartless.
Zhou was waiting at home for Uncle Lin San to come back and sign the divorce papers, but what arrived were Uncle Lin San, Uncle Lin Er and Lin Xiu Ze, who came to the house and wanted to take Lin Jingchu away.
Let her show her filial piety to her grandmother and voluntarily sell herself to a brothel so that she can buy a coffin for her grandmother.
How could Lin Jingchu agree?
Zhou refuted on the spot, but it was useless. When Uncle Lin was about to pull Lin Jingchu away, Zhou said, "Let Chu'er go. I'll find a way to get the money."
But after looking around, no one was willing to lend her money.
She had only moved to Fangzhou for more than two years and didn't know many people. Moreover, she was a poor woman who did rough labor all day to support her family and barely had enough to eat and sleep. Everyone was afraid that she could not pay it back.
She thought of the eldest wife of the Lin family.
Now that the eldest branch of the Lin family is so rich and their mother-in-law is dead, it’s time for them to let it go.
When I arrived at the Lin family, I found out that the Lin family had already set off back to Chang'an.
I didn't expect them to leave so quickly. They were so heartless that they didn't even notify their third room.
When Aunt Xue heard that they were here to ask for money, her face immediately darkened.
How could Zhou have the nerve to do this? Not to mention that they had severed their relationship, even if they hadn't, it would not be her turn to take the money.
You have to know how this family tortured the mother and son.
Aunt Xue sneered, "Dead? Good thing he's dead, but if you want us to pay for a coffin, forget it in this life, let alone the next!"
Seeing the tough Aunt Xue in front of her, Zhou was a little bit unbelieving.
Is she really Aunt Xue? Did she recognize the wrong person?
She looked carefully several times and confirmed that this was Aunt Xue.
"presumptuous!"
Before she could finish her words, she was pushed away by the old woman, "Get out of the way, don't block our lady's way."
Zhou staggered and nearly fell, but she managed to stand firm and said, "Aunt Xue, if you don't want me to tell everyone about how Lin Luchen ate dog food when he was young and how you, his mother, had an affair with a married man, so that he, Mr. Lin, would lose face, then you can do this to me."
Zhou was just asking Aunt Xue tentatively.
The reason is that the eldest wife of the Lin family left, but Lin Luchen and his mother stayed, obviously to let them run the business here.
Aunt Xue hesitated.
She thought of what Lin Zhiyi had told her before she left, asking her to guide Lu'er to be positive and not to use the shadow of his childhood to stimulate him.
Aunt Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
