"Brother, have you heard? They say the old woman made a fortune in Shenzhen!"
Lin the eldest nodded, then said in a low voice, "They really made a lot of money. I saw the gift Lin the third gave to the village chief, just that bottle of wine, it was worth that much!"
Boss Lin gestured a number with his hand.
When Lin Lao Er saw it, his eyes widened, his face turned red, and he angrily cursed, "She really has the heart to give away something so expensive."
"That's outrageous!"
The two brothers cursed and sighed at the same time!
After a short while, the two remembered how ruthless she had been to them, and fell silent again. How could they get the old woman to take them back?
She has so much money now, she can't let it all go to her third son, they are her own sons too!
The eldest son's wife and the second son's wife sat together, listening to the two brothers' conversation. Their hearts were also aching. How wonderful it would be if all this money were given to them, so they could buy so many things to show their filial piety to their parents.
"Brother, do you still remember Uncle Zhao?"
Lin Lao Er's eyes darted around, and he remembered his eldest uncle who had always doted on them. He tugged at Lin Lao Da's sleeve and said...
Lin the eldest thought for a moment and nodded. Uncle Zhao really liked them; he always prepared delicious food for them whenever they visited!
"Why don't we go and beg him to talk to the old woman? After all, he's practically her older brother!"
The other three nodded quickly upon hearing this. It was a good idea. The old woman used to listen to Uncle Zhao the most. If he told her to go east, she certainly wouldn't dare to go west.
Such a good idea, how come they never thought of it? The second son's brain is really sharp, he works fast!
So the four of them picked up their valuables and ran to the next village to find Uncle Zhao!
Meanwhile, the old woman they were talking about, Lin Li, had just finished her meal and was lying on a recliner, eating a plate of fruit beside her, watching Lin Laosan's beaming face.
"Mom, Mom, is this a digital watch?"
"Mom, there's a mechanical watch here!"
...
Hearing Lin Laosan's exaggerated shouts, Lin Li's lips curled up, thinking to herself, "I haven't told you yet, but I'll be opening a restaurant next year, and I also have several houses and shops."
Do you like it?
"I love it, I love it so much!"
Lin Laosan held one item in his left hand and another in his right, while his eyes were also looking at other things.
"Throw away your old clothes that you can't afford to wear. These new clothes will last you a while!"
"Mom, those clothes aren't damaged..."
When Lin Laosan tried to argue for his old clothes, he saw Lin Li's gaze and had to swallow his words.
"Alright! Stop arguing, listen to your mother!"
Seeing the obedient Lin Laosan, Lin Li smiled with satisfaction, "Alright! I'm tired too, I'm going to rest now!"
"Alright!"
After watching Lin Li enter her room, Lin Laosan took the gift his mother had brought back for him and returned to his own room.
I'm so happy!
The next morning, after Lin Li woke up and went out of the yard, she saw Lin Laosan bring out the food he had prepared.
"Mom, I just finished cooking and was just about to call you for dinner!"
"You didn't come to work today?"
"I took time off yesterday and today, but I'm going back to work tomorrow!"
Lin Li sat down at the table, picked up her bowl, took a bite of food with her chopsticks, and said, "Not bad!"
"She's still nowhere near as good as Mom!"
While eating, Lin Li thought for a moment and looked at Lin Laosan, asking, "Do you have a holiday during the Chinese New Year?"
"some!"
"How many days?"
"If you include annual leave, it's about half a month!"
"Then take your leave. After the New Year, I'll take you to Shenzhen so you can get familiar with the city!"
After hearing this, Lin Laosan swallowed the food in his mouth, opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Looking at his expression, Lin Li understood his thoughts. He wanted her to stay at home so he could take care of her in her old age.
But Lin Li didn't think so. At 45, he was at the age to make his way in the world. Staying in his hometown was a waste! She thought that once he went to Shenzhen with her, he might be able to change Lin Laosan's mind.
As the mother and son stood facing each other in silence, they heard someone banging loudly on the iron gate, a sound that immediately irritated them.
Who is it?
Lin Li's anger flared up instantly; she knew from the knocking that the visitor meant no good!
He picked up the stick from the corner of the courtyard, opened the iron gate, and saw an old man with gray hair and an angry face, leaning on a cane and standing menacingly at the door, followed by a string of people.
Lin Li extracted the original owner's memories, and the person in front of her was Zhao Erlang's elder brother - Boss Zhao.
The old lady next to him is his wife, followed by Zhao Laoda's two sons, three grandsons, and the two Lin brothers and their wives!
Ha! Are they planning to come looking for trouble?
"I've been knocking for so long, why did it take you so long to open the door?" Old Master Zhao roared angrily. "Now that Second Brother is gone, you're becoming more and more out of control, capable of anything. Without a man in the house, letting a woman run the household will really lead to chaos! Give me your money and I'll keep it safe for you!"
He cursed as he tried to lead the people inside!
Ha! You want to come inside? Dream on!
Lin Li held the wooden stick horizontally, blocking them directly.
"What are you doing? Are you planning to rebel?"
Yue Lao Er grabbed his cane and tried to strike Lin Li...
With a gentle grab, she caught his cane, looking at him with a half-smile, "Who gave you the audacity to save me?"
"What...what did you say?!"
Zhao Laoda was even more furious. He tried his best to pull his cane back but couldn't. He was so angry that he was practically spitting fire. He shouted to the crowd following him, "Beat her! Beat her hard!"
then……
Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law struck, and Lin Li slapped her three times across the face.
then……
Two sons and three grandsons stepped in, and after a series of 'crash', they all fell to the ground howling in pain!
The two Lin brothers had long known of Lin Li's ferocity, and when they saw her make a move, they kept their distance, fearing that the stick in her hand would fall on them.
The spot where she hit me last time still hurts!
"You...you've really gone too far!"
Old Zhao then took his cane and tried to hit Lin Li.
Looking at him trembling as he held his cane, Lin Li really couldn't understand this person's thought process. Did he think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was old?
Am I overthinking this?
He snatched the cane from his hand, broke it in two, and started hitting him wildly with the stick.
"Coming to my house to lecture me? Who do you think you are? Zhao Erlang is an adopted son-in-law, and I'm the one who's in charge of this house. I only respected you before because of Erlang. What? Do you really think you're someone important?"
A new round of competition has begun! Please continue reading and vote! (Hands clasped in prayer!)
