Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Plead on behalf of the Liu Family? Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Plead on behalf of the Liu Family? Lin Changfeng drew a deep breath, turned to look at Lin Laogeng sitting in the wheelchair, noticing that his face was also pale. Together, the brothers walked over.
“Grandpa, don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense. The money Brother Changfeng earned from the provincial town can’t just be earned easily. The medicinal herbs Nuanfeng dug up haven’t even been sold yet. I can also go hunting on the mountain. After all, when have we ever accepted money from the Liu family?”
Lin Changhong glanced at Liu Rumei dismissively.
This woman must be insane. Ever since Liu Baixiao left Ya Village for many years, to his knowledge, the Liu family had never offered a single coin in gratitude to Grandpa and Grandma.
On the contrary, when Liu Baixiao was leaving, in order to please the Liu family, he really didn’t care about his own family, even stealing all the money from Grandpa’s room.
What’s more, over the years, Liu Rumei and her children have often come to the Lin Family asking for food and wine, especially at harvest time, although Grandpa never gave in.
“Second Aunt, I’ve noticed too. You came here to make trouble today because Liu Yushui’s marriage proposal to the Zhou family fell through, didn’t it?” Lin Changfeng said to Liu Rumei, asking calmly.
“So, because Liu Yushui’s ‘good’ proposal is off the table, you are no longer the mother-in-law of a scholar, so you’ve run in a frenzy to our home to cause a disturbance? Do you think if you do this, my Grandpa will lose face by pleading with the Zhou family on behalf of the Liu family?”
Liu Rumei was immediately embarrassed by Lin Changfeng’s direct prodding at the heart of the matter.
Yes, exactly, that’s what she was thinking.
Because when the Zhou family initially broke off the engagement, although things were quite tense, it was ultimately the Zhou family who owed the Lin family, and Lin Caisang in particular. Lin Caisang hadn’t done anything wrong; instead, Zhou Liang was now involved with her daughter.
So, as long as Lin Laogeng was willing to intervene now, say a few nice words for her daughter in front of Elder Mr. Zhou, and blame the Zhou family’s broken engagement to Lin Caisang on Lin Caisang, then her daughter would still have a chance to marry Zhou Liang.
“Liu Rumei, so you came here to cause trouble just because of this?”
Lin Laogeng, reminded by Lin Changfeng, also figured it out. He glanced at Liu Rumei, who was sitting on the ground making a scene, and sneered in his heart.
He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to think of speaking for the shameless folks of the Liu family, especially if it meant losing his own face and stepping on the reputation of his precious granddaughter Sangsang.
“Exactly, old man. If you don’t help out with this today, I won’t leave and I’m going to keep making a scene!” Liu Rumei said indignantly after hearing his question.
“Isn’t my daughter Yu’er also your own granddaughter? She landed such a good match, only for it to be ruined by that bastard Lin Changfeng. The Lin family must compensate! If you don’t go to the Zhou family and solve this problem, we won’t stop hassling you today!”
The villagers watching the drama: “…”
They seemed to have a clear understanding of what it meant to be ‘invincible in the world if one has no shame.’
It seemed like Liu Rumei’s skin wasn’t on her face. How could she say such shameless things?
Poor Lin Changfeng, despite never being at fault, focusing only on his studies at home, but unfortunately ended up dealing with this unreasonable woman—just this alone could make them die of anger.
Hearing her words, Lin Laogeng drew in a deep breath.
Liu Rumei did not expect, after all she had done, that Lin Laogeng would still refuse, pushing her into a dead-end.
“You old fool, let me tell you—if you don’t agree, today I’ll just smash my head and die right here! If I can’t live in peace, no one else should think…”
