Liuzi suddenly stood up with a jolt, but before he could leave, Lin Yuan pushed him back down, "This has nothing to do with you, sit down inside and stay put!"

Just by the sound of the voices, she knew who had come.

She had been thinking these past few days were too peaceful.

Ever since Big Aunt had caught Old Fan giving her father medical treatment, she had the feeling that someone was watching her house.

Sure enough, what time was it today, and this group had already come over.

The visitors were indeed Uncle Lin Jiazhong and Third Uncle Lin Jiaxiao, and of course Aunt Ma and Third Aunt Li Feng’e were there too.

Not just them, even the old man and the old lady had come along.

But what surprised Lin Yuan the most was that Chen Zhu’s parents, Old man Chen and Aunt Chen, from next door had come as well.

Lin Yuan frowned. It was understandable that people from the Lin family had come, but what business did Chen Zhu’s parents have mingling in this?

Didn’t she make it clear last time she went over to borrow paper that she had no expectations at all for their little white-faced son?

Moreover, after she bought her own paper, she had Xiao Linshuang return it, so theoretically they should have no more entanglements.

Ever since her son went to the Capital city to study, Old man Chen hadn’t left the house for a couple of months.

It was indeed rare for him to venture out today.

What on earth was it that could have coaxed him out?

Moreover, seeing the way he was quietly chatting with Grandpa Lin Jianling, the two of them seemed quite familiar with each other.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s gaze sweeping over, Old man Chen stuck out his nose and snorted disdainfully.

Lin Jianling quickly flushed with embarrassment, and sheepishly said, "Big brother, you have seen something laughable. It’s all the misfortune of our Lin family’s household, the misfortune of our household. "

Aunt Chen, biting her lip, didn’t speak, but looked at her with a somewhat regretful expression.

Lady Yang, supported by her two daughters-in-law, pointed at Lin Yuan’s nose and started to curse, "You little disaster star, star of death! It would have been enough if you were just tough-skinned, but you also had to do such shameless, ugly things. You’ve lost all face for our neighbors!

You’re really shameless, you little whore, cheap slut!

Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because your father has lost his legs.

The Lin family isn’t dead yet! There are still people who can control you!

Shameless little bitch! You’re even worse than the prostitutes in the brothel! "

"Mother, mother, please calm down. Don’t let your health be ruined over such an unworthy wretch," Li Feng’e quickly and considerately helped Lady Yang to smooth her chest while advising her, and meanwhile, she didn’t forget to scold Lin Yuan as well.

Eldest daughter-in-law Lady Ma wasn’t as crafty as the third one from Laosan’s house, nor was she as quick-tongued.

She was happily listening to the mother-in-law curse the Little Disaster Star when she suddenly realized she was missing an opportunity to suck up, and couldn’t help but glare at Li Feng’e in secret.

But didn’t she have an accomplished daughter herself?

Instantly, she couldn’t hold back a smirk, supported the other arm of the mother-in-law, and urged, "Exactly, Mother, you shouldn’t waste your energy getting angry over something that can’t be brought to the table.

If you become ill out of anger, our Siyu will be heartbroken.

For Siyu’s sake, you can’t let yourself be damaged by anger. "

As soon as Lin Siyu was mentioned, Lady Yang’s heart immediately felt much lighter.

Looking at the Little Disaster Star standing before her with crossed arms, showing not a hint of remorse, and then thinking of the knowledgeable and well-behaved Lin Siyu at home who never stepped outside the threshold, Lady Yang instantly felt that the one at home was truly her beloved granddaughter.

Patting the hand of her eldest daughter-in-law, Lady Yang’s tone softened, "Isn’t it all because you’re well taught as a mother?

Both sons are studying well at the town’s school, and the daughter is taught to be well-read and skillful.

Unlike that Lady Liu, who is just a mother, and yet she leads her own daughter down this dark path.

At the mere age of twelve, she started to do these shameless, thieving acts.

What will happen when she grows up, if not sleeping with every man in the village?

A woman for everyone, a woman for everyone! "

Li Feng’e secretly glared at Lady Ma. What was wrong with her sons or her daughter? Hmph, just wait until her Yongxi and Yonghe grow up—they were sure to be even more promising than her children!

Lady Ma had won a round against Li Feng’e and seemed so pleased with herself that she might as well have floated away with pride.

Lin Yuan, however, was bewildered by their conversation. Had the Lin family come over early in the morning just to perform a play for her? And the more she listened to their words, the more something seemed off.

Putting her thoughts aside, Lin Yuan chose to ignore the undercurrents among Lady Yang and the two daughters-in-law, turning instead to Grandpa Lin Jianling, "Grandpa, what brings you here so early? Is there no one at home to make breakfast? It so happens that I have some leftover unleavened bread from this morning. I’m not skilled at cooking, and the bread is a bit burnt.

If you don’t mind, you can have some to tide you over. "

Grandpa Lin Jianling’s face grew paler and paler, and his finger shook violently as he pointed at her, unable to utter a single word. This girl, this Little Disaster Star—how could she still be so unrepentant even now!

Li Feng’e signaled to her husband, and Lin Jiaxiao quickly steadied his father before turning back to Lin Yuan and barked furiously, "Shameless Little Disaster Star! What a time you choose to feign innocence! What unleavened bread? We Lin family members would never deign to eat your pathetic bread! The food made by your filthy body must be just as filthy! Not even a dog would touch it! We all know of the filthy deeds you’ve done.

Just confess honestly! If you do, I, as your uncle, might even spare your life. "

Not even food fit for a dog? Someone lurking in the shadows clenched their teeth in anger. What’s wrong with the people of the Lin family hamlet? One called him a rat, and now another says he’s worse than a dog! They need a lesson, a lesson indeed!

In the eastern room, where Lao Fan was administering acupuncture, his hands shook, almost bending the silver needle.

Who was this ignorant lad outside, daring to insult him!

Xiao Linshuang, who had been watching his acupuncture intently, noticed his sudden tremor and snorted with scorn, "What a cowardly old fool! Scared by that, are you? Just focus on treating your illness. My sister is so formidable, she’ll definitely handle it! "

Lao Fan’s arm shook along with his indignation. Not seen the world? Not seen the world? No, he must take this little wolf pup out to show her the world he’s seen—let her see for herself who is the real country bumpkin unaware of the world!

Lin Yuan nonchalantly cleaned her ear, tuning out Lin Jiaxiao’s shouting and continued to address Lin Jianling, "So, grandpa, you’re not here for a meal; are you here for silver instead?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is fast approaching, true, but it’s still two days away.

There’s no need to rush over with the whole family for silver or grain.

Could it be that your house has run out of rice and wheat? "

Lin Yuan was an early riser, and with Lao Fan coming over for an early meal today, her family had eaten even earlier.

It was the time when the village men would usually return home for a meal after working in the fields, and they had seen Lin Jianling’s family proceed majestically towards her home.

Curious, the villagers had followed to see what the commotion was.

Gathering around Lin Yuan’s door, they burst into laughter upon hearing her remark.

The Lin family was among the wealthier families in the village; it was laughable to suggest they had no grain to cook.
