The rest of the words were too harsh for her to say. She just looked at the old lady with a look of resentment mixed with relief. Even she herself couldn't tell what she felt at that moment.
It seemed like this was the second time in her life that she realized what it meant to have a changing fortune and a cycle of cause and effect.
The last time was when Lin Xi got married.
Lin Xi once mocked her for being unfit to marry an old man, but she ended up getting her comeuppance by marrying an old man instead.
This time... Lin Wenhui couldn't say that the old lady's fate was retribution.
She could only complain over and over again about the old lady's mistreatment of her.
"When my parents divorced a few years ago, you followed Chen Fei's wishes and snatched me away from my biological mother. At that time, did you ever think about how cruel and evil Chen Fei was?"
"Even if I didn't remember anything at the time, I can still imagine how arrogant and proud Chen Fei was when she stole my mother's husband and daughter, separating me from my mother."
"Grandma, you couldn't see anything wrong at that time? How vicious a person must be to do something so ruthless?"
Old Mrs. Lin was speechless.
To be honest, she didn't realize how cruel Chen Fei's true face was at the beginning, but she didn't care about it at that time.
She felt that she could control Chen Fei and could control Chen Fei for the rest of her life.
So no matter how cruel Chen Fei is, she can only be manipulated by her and become the knife in her hand to hit Li Yanhong in the face when she displeases her.
But who knew that this 'knife' could bite people.
Lin Wenhui: "When I was little, Chen Fei was partial to me and treated me badly. Lin Xi and Lin Jialiang bullied me, so I could only ask you and grandpa to protect me."
"Even if you didn't protect me and just gave me food to eat, I would have been grateful to you. But later I found out that my mother was worried that I wouldn't be doing well, so she asked someone to give you money every month."
"That is, my living expenses are enough for me to eat well."
"But what am I eating?"
She smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"I can only eat good food in front of my dad. Even so, I still have to be laughed at by Lin Xi. I am not presentable, as if I have never eaten anything good."
Life was hard at that time, and she was young and didn't understand anything. She only knew that she was hungry and could only go to her grandparents to fill her stomach.
It's not that she hasn't complained to her father, but Chen Fei is so cunning that she just lightly explained that the little girl shouldn't eat too much without limit. Once her appetite gets bigger and bigger, she might become fat like a ball and it will be difficult to find a partner.
When it comes to the issue of future 'marriage', her father will stand on Chen Fei's side even if she is still young.
But she was really stupid when she was a child. She thought Chen Fei was really doing it for her own good and was afraid that she would eat too much and get fat. It was not until she grew up that she understood more and more things.
Only then did she realize that Chen Fei was just biased.
I was reluctant to give her something delicious so I made excuses to shut her up.
But the problem is that she is young and doesn't understand. How can she understand?
She didn't believe that her grandmother couldn't see Chen Fei's original intentions, but her grandmother just condoned Chen Fei's mistreatment of her, and occasionally helped her as if she was doing her a great favor.
Treating a child like this, using the adult's brain to play a child around, is like teasing a dog, Chen Fei gives a stick and the old lady gives a sweet date.
Is it fun to trick her into running around?
Lin Wenhui actually didn't want to say these things. Even on the way here, she would rather let her favorite sister-in-law misunderstand her as an ungrateful person.
She would rather make people think that she is heartless and ungrateful than say these things.
But when she saw the old lady seeking protection from her so-called relatives as helplessly as she did when she was a child, she suddenly felt it was ridiculous.
When she was a child, which relative protected her?
Under the old lady's panicked gaze, Lin Zhan stood up directly, put his bony hands on his sister's head and rubbed it hard.
Lin Wenhui looked up in surprise with a red nose: "Second brother?"
Lin Zhan: "Don't cry, let's go home, mom is still waiting at home."
Lin Wenhui: "But..."
"There's nothing to worry about." Lin Zhan didn't even look at the old lady opposite him while he was speaking.
He had no intention of coming here in the first place, and the people sent by the old lady couldn't get to him and didn't have the courage to bother him.
If he hadn't received the news that his wife was coming, he wouldn't have made this trip today. As for the family assets the old lady mentioned...
Oh.
Whoever wants it can have it.
Lin Zhan didn't grow up relying on the old lady's wealth. He didn't need it before and he won't need it in the future.
When Mrs. Lin saw his posture, she was so frightened that she rolled over and crawled out of bed to stop him.
"Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan, don't go. Listen to me. I still have a bracelet left by your great-grandmother. If your wife likes it, I can give it to her."
"I don't have any other ideas, and I'm not relying on you to support me in my old age. I just want you to support me..."
Lin Zhan paused. He was no longer the child who was not even as tall as the old lady and could do nothing.
Bending over, his peach blossom eyes showed no emotion at all. He asked the old lady the same question as Lin Wenhui just now:
"Old lady, when my father abandoned us, he didn't care about raising us, did you ever stand up for us?"
She can't keep it.
In a trance, she seemed to see the little figures of Lin Jun's brothers and sisters, smiling and calling her grandma, and asking her what she wanted to eat in the evening.
She smiled as she took out the delicious food she had hidden away and watched the children eat it with great satisfaction.
The children were no longer the skinny and small ones in my memory. Each one was plump and white because of her care. They were all good children, filial, and successful...
It's all an illusion.
She couldn't help but think, what if she hadn't jumped up and interfered, and hadn't added fuel to the fire after finding out that her son was having an affair, but had been the first to wake her son up and drive away the shameless mistress.
So will everything be different now?
…
On the way back, Lin Jun looked at Lin Zhan with strange eyes.
Lin Zhan was annoyed by his gaze: "What's wrong?"
"No." Lin Jun touched his nose. "I was just surprised that you left more easily than I did. I thought you were after the old lady's money..."
Knowing that his words were ambiguous, he explained:
"I mean, you're short of money, and you scoundrels don't have moral principles. The old lady put the money in front of you, and I thought you wouldn't refuse it."
Lin Zhan: “…”
In the darkness of the night, his face was darker than the night itself.
Su Lixuan chuckled: "Brother, if we can't speak, why don't we just stop speaking freely?"
If Lin Jun continued talking, Su Lixuan was afraid that the two brothers would take advantage of the situation and start a fight outside.
Lin Jun scratched his head: "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant... Well, anyway, you have impressed me with this move."
"You have guts. We don't need that little money. If you need money, just tell me..."
Before he could finish his heroic words, he was interrupted by Lin Zhan with a sneer.
Lin Zhan: "You have?"
Lin Jun really shut up this time.
Don’t mention it, he really didn’t.
He can brag a lot, but the family's money has always been in the hands of his wife. He is lucky enough to be able to save some pocket money for his mother.
