Chapter 7 Crying in the Middle of the Night



"Grandpa, my brother and second aunt are unwilling to agree to my compensation. I am small and my words have no weight. Why don't you do it?"

Lin Shiyu directly put the blame back on Old Man Lin. She would decide on the compensation today.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Old Master Lin turned around and asked Lin Anxiang.

The person in charge was right in front of him, so he didn't want to talk to a crying woman. It was annoying just to look at her, not to mention that what the woman said always made him feel uncomfortable.

Lin Laoer didn't want to agree to her request either. One egg cost one cent, and two eggs cost two cents.

The family is about to be divided, and there are so many places where money will be needed. Their family does not have much private money to begin with. If the family is divided normally, the eldest son will take 70%, and the remaining 30% will be shared with the third brother. They probably won't get much.

Therefore, it is best not to give compensation if possible.

"Dad, I don't have any eggs, and I don't have any money." Lin Anxiang waved his hands and said, "Mom, you still have eggs in your basket. Why don't you give two to Yu girl?"

"Don't even think about it. All the eggs have been sold. Even the ones in the chicken's stomach have been reserved. Don't even think about them." Old Mrs. Lin refused without a second thought.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Lin Anxiang sighed helplessly, but he was extremely happy inside.

"Then deduct it from the money received from the division of the family property and compensate them." Old Master Lin made the final decision.

He kept complaining about a small matter for a long time. He didn't even want to work anymore.

"No!" Zhang jumped out first to object.

"Why not?" Old Master Lin had never felt that the second wife was so annoying. She was the one at fault, but she made it seem like he was the victim.

"We haven't divided the family property yet. The eggs she ate were public property, and one of them was ours. Why should we be the only ones to pay for the compensation, while all the benefits go to the third house? Mom and Dad, this is not fair!" Zhang complained.

Apart from the fact that everyone gets an egg on their birthday, everyone gets scrambled eggs mixed with other vegetables on the fifteenth day of every month, and no one is exempt from this.

The third room's child ate it for several days in a row as soon as he came back, and these two old guys still claimed that they were not partial. Bah!

"Who said the eggs our sister eats are public property?" Liu, who was resting nearby, couldn't help but stand up and refute when she heard this.

No wonder the people from the first and second wives look at their family with their eyes not eyes and noses not noses recently. This is the reason.

"I spent real money to buy it." Then Liu turned to Mrs. Lin and said, "Mother, you have to explain clearly. I gave you all the money."

Everyone looked at Old Lady Lin, and she nodded at them to indicate that Mrs. Liu was right.

The people in the other two rooms were very surprised.

The couple in the first house were a little annoyed when they saw that she admitted it.

They believed that the reason why the two elders favored the third wife was that the children of the third wife could eat eggs every few days, and it was even more so after Yu Jie'er came back.

If these eggs were bought by the third brother's wife, then they must have wrongly blamed the two elders.

But their thought flashed through their minds and was then denied. If the two elders really did not favor the third wife, how could their two poor children die like this?

Maybe the purchase of eggs is true, but that doesn’t mean everything that happened before was false.

The two of them lowered their heads and remained silent, hiding their thoughts.

The second wife and her husband were more direct in their response, which was - they didn't believe it!

Old Mrs. Lin observed everyone's gazes on her and was very angry. Her already fierce face turned vicious because of her displeasure.

"What? Do I have to report to you after I accepted the money?!"

How could the daughters-in-law of the Lin family dare to respond to this? If this were to get out, they would be the ones to drown out the criticism outside.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Mrs. Lin snorted and went into the house.

The daughters-in-law of the Lin family dared to complain and cry in front of their father-in-law, but they dared not say a word in front of Old Lady Lin.

When Mr. Lin saw his wife enter the house, he touched his nose and followed her in.

He understood his wife. Facing these daughters-in-law at home every day, if he were in his place, he would also want to divide the family property.

Once the two elders left, the matter became a foregone conclusion.

This matter had little to do with the eldest wife, so Sun quickly pulled her children and husband who were watching the fun back to their own house, away from the "battlefield".

Lin Anxiang felt that he had suffered a loss and lost face. Without any other outsiders around, he did not hide his feelings at all.

He looked at the people in the third room with a resentful look on his face, then dragged the still dazed Lin Bo into the house, followed by Zhang.

Lin Anru picked up Lin Shiyu and just met the gaze of his second brother. He turned his body slightly towards him, shielding his wife and children behind him.

Lin Shiyu turned her neck and looked around in her father's arms.

Sure enough, the figure was found under the big tree in the yard.

Wait until everyone in the yard has left.

A thin girl came out from under the huge lychee tree in the Lin family compound.

She lowered her head and looked up at the empty yard. Resentment flashed across her eyes, and then she immediately returned to calm.

Lin Shiyu knew that the heroine was extremely dissatisfied with, or even resentful of, the entire Lin family.

But she had traveled through time for so long, and they had never dealt with each other, and she didn't even know what the heroine looked like.

She was able to recognize the heroine by using the process of elimination, which allowed her to match her with so many people in the Lin family.
