She originally wanted to distance herself from the matter by saying that she didn't see it and didn't know what happened.
But her children were also looking at her with clear and bright eyes, and she felt that she couldn't be so cowardly in front of the children.
How could she set a bad example for her children because of her cowardice? Would her two children become cowards like their parents when they grow up?
"My daughter-in-law didn't see my third sister-in-law push Cai Ge'er down. He fell because he didn't stand firmly."
Sun closed her eyes and told the truth directly, but she didn't dare to look into her son's second uncle's eyes after she finished speaking. She was scared!
Lin Anji knew that his wife had a similar temperament to him, so when he saw that she was afraid, he immediately held her hand to give her courage.
This is their way of cheering each other up.
"Second daughter-in-law, what else do you have to say?"
Two to one, this is very unfavorable for Zhang.
Zhang gritted her teeth. She thought Sun would stand on her side. Even if not, according to her personality, she would at least pretend not to know and ignore her.
Zhang Mingzhu had misjudged her. Her timid sister-in-law was not really timid.
"When the daughter-in-law came out, she saw Xiaobao lying on the ground, crying towards her sister-in-law. She then misunderstood that her sister-in-law had hit Xiaobao, so she panicked..."
Zhang hesitated and said something unfinished, making choking sounds from time to time, looking so pitiful.
But except for Lin Lao Er, everyone present loved their wives, and her pitiful appearance did not win any love from the men in the Lin family.
"Lin Bocai, now the incident is caused by you. Tell me why you are lying on the ground crying." Grandpa Lin asked his little grandson with a serious face.
Lin Bocai was called out by name, and his legs were shaking with guilt.
Zhang pinched him from behind, signaling him to make up a better reason. As long as the reason was acceptable, would the old man still bother with a child?
Doesn't Lin Bo know that he needs to come up with a decent excuse? But how can he find one?
I can’t talk about the egg snatching incident; I’m embarrassed to talk about not being able to beat my cousin; I can’t talk about seeing my mother and wanting her to get my back.
Everyone stared at him, he was so nervous that his mind went blank, he wanted to calm down and make up an excuse but he couldn't.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He wanted to speak to delay time, but was surprised to find that his mouth was out of his control and he couldn't open it to make a sound.
He didn't speak for a long time, and everyone began to get impatient.
Especially Mr. Lin, he was unhappy after the division of the family was confirmed.
I originally thought that the separation would be a peaceful one, and that the unpleasantness would almost disappear as time passed.
However, this group of troublemakers are causing trouble at this time.
Silence is the eve of the explosion.
"He tried to snatch my eggs. I refused to give them to him and he wanted to hit me. My mother came and picked me up, and she fell to the ground herself."
Suddenly, a childish voice was heard, breaking the silence.
The person who spoke was Lin Shiyu. She was already tired after crying and fighting. She wanted to finish the matter quickly and go back to sleep, so she spoke.
As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at her, not because of what she said, but out of curiosity.
Yes, curious!
I was curious about how she could become so bold and speak so clearly and fluently.
She has been in the Lin family for more than a month and has been basically in a dull and timid state. She doesn't speak unless she can. Apart from Liu, she hasn't spoken to anyone else.
After looking at her for a short while, everyone's attention turned back to Lin Bocai.
"Is it the same as what your sister said?" asked Mr. Lin.
"Yes." Lin Bocai answered with his head lowered.
Children are the most sensitive to adults' emotions. He felt that his grandfather was on the verge of exploding, so he didn't dare to play tricks anymore and had to answer honestly.
Seeing that he admitted it so quickly, Zhang pinched him with a bit of disappointment.
Once this is acknowledged, there is no room for turning back.
Zhang pinched him and he didn't dare to move.
Because he had already felt the low pressure from his biological father behind him, and thinking of his father beating his elder sister like that from time to time at night, Lin Bo's eyes were filled with fear.
He was afraid that his father would treat him like he treated his sister.
After hearing his answer, the wrinkles between Mr. Lin's brows could have pinched a mosquito to death.
So the reason for the fight and quarrel was actually because of an egg.
"You two have become quite capable. You've made such a fuss over an egg."
Old Master Lin pointed at Lin Bowen, Zhang and Liu. He felt like spitting blood when he thought that his family would become the talk of the village tomorrow because of them.
Lin Bocai lowered his head guiltily, not daring to face Old Master Lin. Zhang turned her head to face Lin Anxiang's arms. Only Liu stared at Old Master Lin.
After being looked at by her, Mr. Lin came to his senses and seemed to be pointing at Liu, as if she was indeed wrong.
"If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Lin Bocai, as a punishment, you won't be able to eat dinner tonight. Second son's wife, as a punishment, you will have to wash all the pots and dishes this month. Do you have any objections?"
Lin Bocai did something wrong, so he was punished by not having dinner. Zhang did something wrong and caused the eldest and third son's wives to be injured, so she should do more work to compensate her.
Mr. Lin thought he was very fair and no one should object.
But he was soon slapped in the face. As soon as he finished speaking, opposition voices arose.
“I have an opinion!”
Lin Shiyu opened her big dark eyes and looked directly at Old Man Lin. She was the one who said the words of opposition!
"What do you think?" asked Mr. Lin.
"Those are my eggs, and that is my porridge." Lin Shiyu pointed her finger not far away. Her bowl was knocked over at some point, and the porridge spilled all over the floor.
Grandpa Lin felt sad when he saw the porridge water on the ground that had not been absorbed by the soil. These were all food!
Angry! Angry! So angry!
If children fight over food, at least they get it into their stomachs. If they spill it on the ground, they will be punished by God!
"Lin Bocai!" Old Master Lin shouted, "Look at the good things you have done!"
People who have been hungry cannot bear to see others wasting food. Old Master Lin picked up the broom that Liu had thrown aside and hit him directly.
Lin Shiyu was dumbfounded by Grandpa Lin's actions. She just wanted the second wife to compensate her with eggs and porridge, and she didn't want him to use violence on a six or seven-year-old child!
Although it was despicable that the naughty kid stole her things, the person who instigated him was the real culprit.
But it was too late to stop it now, and there was no way to stop Mr. Lin who was in high spirits.
Lin Bocai was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly. The scene of Grandpa Lin beating him and the scene of his father beating his elder sister switched back and forth in his mind.
Fear and terror froze him.
It wasn't until the pain hit him that he let out a sharp cry that broke his voice.
His cry was so strange that it startled everyone present.
