"You woman, the trip to town isn’t urgent right now. Let Dahu go first, let the Young Master try this thing, and in the afternoon I’ll take Niannian to discuss it. We can use this time to whet his appetite, so we can negotiate a better price!" Lin Sanshui said.
"Then why are you staying? To meddle in the affairs of the big house? What does this have to do with you? Why would you meddle in it?" Mrs. Jiang didn’t want him to get involved, so she used someone else’s thoughts to send him away.
However, his words made Lin Sanshui unwilling, "Why can’t I interfere? That’s my big brother! The Wang Family even invited the village chief, so why can’t I get involved in my brother’s affairs? Besides, the recipe the Wang Family stole belongs to our family. No matter how many times Mrs. Wang threatens suicide, if I stay, my brother can stand his ground."
A daughter who married off stole her in-law’s secret recipe for her own family. It’s reasonable to even consider severe punishment according to the family tree, let alone just sending her back home. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Moreover, what she stole was something from her husband’s younger brother’s house.
Mrs. Wang herself couldn’t tell right from wrong, and the suffering she now endures is her own choice.
Compared to others, the Lin Family treats the daughters-in-law much better. If you don’t believe it, look at other families. Which daughter-in-law hasn’t suffered a few years of hardship before they can stand their ground once their son grows up?
Knowing that Lin Sanshui was currently angry, Mrs. Jiang feared making him more upset, so she calmly reasoned with him, "It’s not that I don’t want you to handle it, but this matter is difficult to handle. With this disruption, Mrs. Wang’s issue might just pass by. In a couple of years, when this matter fades, and she stands her ground at home, she might end up resenting us for pushing her at this time."
Of course, they wouldn’t fear just one Mrs. Wang.
Ultimately, they are still one family. Though they’re angry now and find it hard to accept Mrs. Wang’s actions, this matter will eventually pass.
By that time, if the big house unites against them, the third house will clearly be the victim, and they might end up resenting us.
Lin Sanshui scoffed coldly, "I, Lin Sanshui, have a clear conscience. Aside from the partiality Mother showed us years ago, I owe nothing to my two brothers. If Big Brother truly gets so muddled one day, I won’t let him make trouble for me!"
But now, seeing the people of Little Xizhuang bully his big brother’s family, gaining the upper hand while being deceitful, he just can’t ignore it.
Lin Sanshui’s words about having a clear conscience infuriated Mrs. Jiang.
Seeing Lin Sanshui leave, Gu Nian quickly came to comfort Mrs. Jiang, "Mother, Father isn’t someone without a sense of measure. Since he wants to handle it, let him. It’s not like we can’t avoid it, as Father said. If Big Uncle really is that muddleheaded, we can just cut ties with them."
Mrs. Jiang shook her head helplessly, "You make it sound easy. Blood is thicker than water, it’ll be difficult to cut ties!"
Gu Nian felt helpless.
From the perspective of Lin Shanshui and Mrs. Jiang, you can’t really blame anyone. It’s just that everyone cares for their own brothers.
Gu Nian thought that if such things happened to Mrs. Jiang’s family brothers, she definitely wouldn’t be able to stay indifferent either.
But as a daughter, Gu Nian still had to comfort Mrs. Jiang.
