Chapter 527: Chapter 526: Itchy Teeth from Hatred

Lin Xia nodded, "I mentioned it briefly!"

At the time, she found it amusing—what loan? It was clear they just wanted it for free!

But considering Lin Aiye’s family were always looking for advantages, wanting the house was not unexpected.

"I actually want to leave that house for your elder brother! But your elder brother is now working in the city, and when he gets married in the future, he won’t come back! But if it’s lent out, it would be difficult to get it back..." Lin Aiguo was also aware of his younger brother’s family’s character, thus he felt somewhat conflicted.

Lin Xia was reluctant to get involved in their matters as her elder brother had also told her that he did not want the old house.

However, since Lin Aiguo asked, she shared her opinion, "It’s up to you if you still want that house in the future! If you don’t, I think it’s better to just let them buy it! Forget about lending it!"

She felt it was unnecessary to go through the trouble with those people, and selling it directly would save her headaches and not be a loss.

Lin Aiguo’s expression changed. He thought what his eldest daughter suggested was indeed feasible, "Then I’ll consider it!"

Liu Shuqin was supposed to be cooking in the kitchen, but her ears were still attuned to the sounds in the room.

Upon hearing Lin Xia suggest that the second child’s family should buy the old house, she immediately became displeased!

However, for her granddaughter Lin Xia, who had married well, she dared not say a single negative word, especially with Lin Xia’s son-in-law Lu Zheng present. Thus, she addressed Lin Aiguo,

"Eldest! The second brother’s family doesn’t have much money! You, being the eldest, should take pity on them! After all, that house is just sitting empty, and now with Lin Xia and them prospering..." Who would still need that broken old house?

Lin Aiguo frowned in displeasure. His mother had always favored his younger brother, and it was still the same even now.

"You don’t need to worry about this! I have a plan! Hurry and finish cooking!"

Liu Shuqin sheepishly returned to the kitchen, muttering under her breath in dissatisfaction with Lin Aijia.

Lin Aijia helplessly listened in silence, not knowing what to say about her mother’s favoritism anymore.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia had dinner at Lin Aiguo’s house and left soon afterward without lingering.

Lin Aiguo and the others walked them to the front gate and waited till Lin Xia and her companion had walked far away before returning to the yard.

The weather was cold, and Lin Xia didn’t encounter many people on the way, making her feel suddenly more cheerful.

However, this cheerful mood didn’t last long. At the bus station on their way back to the city, she encountered an acquaintance she hadn’t seen in a long time...

Why did she meet her?

Lin Xia immediately frowned, seemingly unprepared for this encounter; today really wasn’t a good day to go out!

She had been cautious and wary in the area where Lin Aiguo lived, fearing she might encounter someone she knew. Just when she had started to relax, she saw Lin Yu waiting for a bus at the station!

Lin Yu had become thin and haggard. Her face was pale, the sockets of her eyes sunken, her lips no longer a rosy hue, and she wore a dark padded coat and trousers that appeared much too large for her.

Facing Lin Yu’s angry glare, Lin Xia coldly stared back!

In fact, with the past grievances fading as Lin Qiang went to prison, Qian Chunli and Lin Aiguo divorced, Lin Xia thought it was all water under the bridge.

Since Lin Yu had her premature child, she had seldom heard news about her.

As long as they didn’t provoke her, she had no desire to engage in any conflicts with them.

So she didn’t even want to pay any attention to any bit of news about Lin Yu and her circumstances.

Yet unexpectedly, she encountered her today!

Lu Zheng’s gaze shifted slightly. Despite the significant changes in Lin Yu, he immediately recognized the woman who was unfriendly to his wife.

This is Lin Xia’s stepmother’s daughter!

Lin Yu glared at Lin Xia, who was approaching her, burning with resentment.

It wasn’t that her eyesight was particularly good, but Lin Xia’s outfit was too eye-catching, making it easy to recognize her from a distance!

Lin Xia wore a bright red down jacket and hat which made her petite face look pale and her features even more delicate, her black pants, and leather boots were very fashionable.

The man walking beside her, holding her hand, was tall and strikingly handsome, with a posture that was hard to overlook.

Lin Yu then looked down at herself and compared with Lin Xia, she wore an ugly, bulky cotton jacket and pants, and black-striped cotton shoes, everything about her screamed poverty.

Instantly, various emotions surged within her, fueling her hatred for Lin Xia even more!

Why should Lin Xia, who had caused them such misery, still be able to dress so slickly and marry such a desirable man? Why was she getting better and better?

In the past, she and Lin Qiang had always been better off than any of them!

She stayed home every day taking care of the children instead of going to the store, but because the in-laws went, she had heard all about Lin Xia’s wedding, and how Lin Xia went with her partner to the provincial city for the ceremony.

Lin Yu, looking at the two people who stood not far from her, couldn’t help but mutter bitterly to herself, "Ah, women these days are so shameless, spending nights out and still managing to snag a good catch as if nothing happened! I have no idea what that man sees in her!"

She didn’t believe that Lin Xia’s partner could hear all this without being at least a bit bothered! What if they were married? Men are still petty!

People standing around Lin Yu waiting for the bus gave her baffled looks, wondering why she was suddenly talking to herself.

However, some eagle-eyed individuals turned their gaze to Lin Xia and the man accompanying her.

Lin Xia clearly knew Lin Yu was taunting her! Back then, when they were renting a place from Xu Haihua, since she went to the city to pick up goods and wasn’t home for the night, Xu Haihua spread rumors that she never came home at nights.

Eventually, Lin Aiguo and Qian Chunli went there, and the rumor of her nights out began to spread.

Lu Zheng certainly caught on too! He wouldn’t allow anyone to slander his wife!

He moved to walk towards Lin Yu, but Lin Xia grabbed his arm.

"Xiaozheng!" Lin Xia felt that starting a shouting match or getting physical with Lin Yu was really pointless!

She turned her head to continue talking to Lu Zheng, "When you find someone with mental issues, shouldn’t we be good Samaritans and help get them to a mental hospital? So they don’t end up hurting someone!"

Lu Zheng agreed with Lin Xia, saying, "We definitely should send them!" as he glanced over in Lin Yu’s direction.

The voices of Lin Xia and Lu Zheng were loud, and everyone around could hear clearly.

Following Lu Zheng’s gaze, they started assessing Lin Yu, thinking that she looked fairly normal and not particularly like someone with mental illness, though it was said that such individuals looked just like anyone else when not in the midst of an episode.

Some who were closer even cautiously stepped back a few paces.

Lin Yu so badly wanted to refute that she was not mentally ill, all because of lies spread by Lin Xia, that despicable woman!

However, recalling how Lin Xia had once had Lin Aiguo committed to a mental institution, she now thought it better to keep quiet. Once she spoke up, she could well be severely dealt with by the sharp-tongued Lin Xia!

Moreover, she was alone and vulnerable, while Lin Xia had someone with her—how could she possibly stand a chance?

She knew what Lin Xia was capable of; she had even managed to commit her own father, Lin Aiguo, into such a place, would she spare her?

Lin Yu’s face turned deathly white, deeply regretting the impulsive words she had spoken.

If she really were committed, her baby at home still needed breastfeeding, and there were her mother-in-law and Chen Gang . . . thinking about the consequences, she even began to tremble slightly, daring not to make another sound.
