Su Lixuan was drinking the malted milk prepared by an aunt outside. Upon hearing this, she couldn't stop herself and spit out a mouthful of malted milk.
In the past, she always heard her mother-in-law say that Lin Jun spoke rudely and that he took after her mother-in-law.
But after spending such a long time together, she didn't notice that her uncle's words were so unpleasant.
The worst that could happen is that she and her husband don't get along very well, and they don't like what they say to each other.
But now...
Su Lixuan deeply understood what her mother-in-law meant. Lin Jun's words were really harsh, and no one could tolerate his attitude.
No matter who you are or how old you are, I will hit you with words when I need to.
Lin Zhan had no choice but to help her with the back massage. For the first time, he felt that Lin Jun, a useless guy who loved to live off his wife, was actually quite useful sometimes. At least he could speak up at the critical moment.
The old lady was so angry that she couldn't control her coughing, and it sounded like she was about to collapse.
This time he was not pretending at all, his face turned pale from coughing.
The sound reached the living room, and soon the door was cautiously pushed open from the outside. The toothless old lady came in with a glass of water and an apologetic smile.
She seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere in the room, and smiled as she helped Old Lady Lin calm down and smooth things over.
"Calm down, everyone. After all, they are still grandparents and grandchildren. Why do family members have to quarrel like this?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Old Lady Lin with a resentful look: "Old sister, what can I say about you? When you can't see your grandchildren, you miss them so much that you can talk about them ten times a day."
"We finally got to see each other, and now it's like this. People outside can hear it. It's such a joke."
Old Mrs. Lin knew that she came in to mediate. To be honest, among all the relatives who came from her hometown, whether close or distant, the only one she felt was the one she could get along with from the bottom of her heart.
It’s not about how worthy a person’s character is, but about whether he has foresight and a plan for success.
For example, now, she is obviously in trouble. There are so many people outside, and no one has been exempted from benefits these days, but at the critical moment, only this gap-toothed guy knows to come in and say a few words for her.
No matter what Huoyazi's intention is, this is a favor and she has to appreciate it.
The key point is that she really needs an "outsider" to stand up and say something fair for her.
Taking advantage of the quilt to cover her, Old Mrs. Lin secretly squeezed the toothless old lady's hand, with a disheartened expression on her face.
"Sister, please stop trying to persuade me. If people outside hear me, they can laugh at me if they want. It's all because of me who did so many evil things in the past. Now I feel better when people scold me as a joke."
Lin Jun's brows were tightly knitted. Su Lixuan felt that if Lin Jun knew the popular slangs of later generations, he would definitely say "6" at this moment.
Didn't you see that even Lin Wenhui, who had been silent all this time, had a look of show when she looked at Old Mrs. Lin.
It can be seen how excessive this old lady's pretense is, no less than Lu Zhishen pretending to be Daiyu online.
Of course, this feeling was probably only shared by Lin Jun and his siblings. The two old ladies not only did not feel there was anything wrong with it, but instead hugged each other and performed with great enthusiasm.
The old lady with a gap in the tooth: "Old sister, please don't say that. It's not easy for you either..."
She sighed, her words leaking a little: "I just said that we are all family, so if there is anything that cannot be said openly, just tell the children about your current situation."
"Don't beat around the bush and order people to go back and forth to look for the children. They're grown up now, and those who should have families have already started families. They're smarter than us, so just tell them the truth."
She was trying to please both sides by saying this, but it didn't cause any annoyance, at least not in the eyes of Lin Jun and the others.
It can be said that the words that the old lady with the gap in the tooth advised Old Mrs. Lin completely touched Lin Jun's heart.
Lin Jun: "Yes, just say it if you have something to say. It's getting late. If you delay any longer it will be dark."
His tone was full of impatience.
Mrs. Lin was a little embarrassed: "I don't know what to say, I'm too embarrassed to say it!"
"Come on, someone who's usually so forthright is now hesitant to speak." The toothless old woman interrupted, "She has no nerve to say I have no nerve, I say!"
"Actually, your grandma has been through a lot lately. Why are we all here? To support her!"
"I know you and your grandma aren't close, so I won't try to persuade you. I'll just tell you what a worthless stepmother you are."
stepmother?
Su Lixuan tilted her head and asked, "Chen Fei?"
"Yes, it's Chen Fei." The old lady with the gap in her teeth gritted her teeth. "The story still has to start from when your stepsister married into a good family."
"We don't understand how good that family is or how high their standards are. We just know that ever since your stepsister got married there, your stepmother has been getting nervous and has been instigating your father to send your grandmother back to her hometown."
Wow!
Lin Jun and his siblings hadn't heard anything about this.
Seeing that the old lady with the gap-tooth kept looking at her while she spoke, Su Lixuan asked with a smile, "So the old lady called all of you relatives here?"
"Like you just said... support?"
The toothless old lady nodded. She just liked to look at handsome men. She didn't mind staring at them when she was young, but now that she was old, she didn't have to worry about it.
Facing Su Lixuan, she spoke gently, "Your grandma had no choice but to call us over. I put it nicely to support her, but to put it bluntly, it was just nonsense."
Ignoring the coughing of Mrs. Lin beside her, the toothless old lady continued, "That's why I said in the living room just now that our unpresentable appearance is actually what your grandmother wants."
"If we are reasonable, we won't be able to protect her or help her vent her anger."
"Vent off your anger?" Su Lixuan immediately grasped the key point of the old lady's words.
The old lady with the gap teeth said: "Yes, I just want to vent my anger. That old vixen Chen Fei dared to instigate the man to send the old man back to his hometown to wait for death. After all, we are relatives. How can we just stand by and watch her being so arrogant?"
She didn't hide it: "Of course, your grandma hasn't treated us badly. We've taken advantage of us a lot during this period."
Su Lixuan smiled and didn't care about this. She was just curious. Since Old Lady Lin already had a way to deal with Chen Fei, why did she have to bring out Lin Jun and his siblings?
As if she understood what Su Lixuan meant, the old lady with the gap-tooth grinned, "My dear, are you trying to say that since we can control that old vixen, why should we involve you?"
Su Lixuan had a smile in her eyes and she said that the old lady was a wonderful person.
She nodded slightly, she really couldn't understand this.
The old lady with the gap in her teeth didn't keep the secret and directly explained the reason: "Because we can't keep doing this here forever."
This is the crux of the problem.
She gestured to the younger people in the room to look at Old Lady Lin.
"Look at your grandma. She's already so old and in poor health. Now she has such an inhumane daughter-in-law. I heard that before we came, Chen Fei didn't even let your grandma have a full meal."
