Chapter 1811: Chapter 1811: Why don’t you speak up?

"Third Aunt, please sit down first, Grandma, serve Third Aunt some chicken soup."

Upon hearing his granddaughter’s words, Lu Qiubo hurriedly brought over a bowl and filled it with soup for his daughter-in-law. He then passed it to her.

"Lin, take a seat and catch your breath, drink this soup first."

As he spoke, he dished out another bowl and handed it to his own son, insisting he drink as well.

"What has happened, Laogeng, tell me." Lin Laogeng looked at his son and asked.

When he’d left the house, his son had had ten taels of silver on him for emergencies. How had things turned out like this upon his return?

If the ox cart had stayed in Yang Family Village, it would not have been a big deal, but surely, he couldn’t have spent all ten taels of silver, not even leaving enough for a carriage ride back, could he?

What was this mess all about?

"Ah, don’t even mention it."

When Lin Baiyi heard his father’s questioning, he shook his head and the expression on his face looked ready to hit someone.

Meanwhile, Yang Lin quietly sipped the chicken soup in his bowl, tears falling like broken beads from the eyes of a grown man, streaming down his face.

"What’s wrong, what kind of grievance did you suffer?"

Lu Qiubo couldn’t stand to see his family wronged and, seeing his daughter-in-law like this, he quickly asked.

"Dad, Mom, it’s my fault, I’ll never go to that place again."

Yang Lin sobbed, his words to Lin Laogeng and Lu Qiubo coming out in fits and starts.

"What exactly happened, Three, speak up!"

Seeing them both so upset and not wanting to upset his daughter-in-law who had just given birth a few months ago, Lu Qiubo nudged his son.

"Mom, the people from the Yang family, except for Lin, really none of them are good people!"

Lin Baiyi glanced at his wife, sighed heavily, and angrily said.

"Do you know? My eldest uncle, he... he actually... to two widows from their own village, he got them... Ah!"

He glanced at Lin Caisang, then at his daughter Lin Caiqing, and still, he couldn’t bring himself to finish his sentence. Such words were too shameful even for him to utter, yet his eldest uncle had done such a thing!

"What happened to their bellies?"

Lu Qiubo hadn’t immediately thought the worst, so he asked, puzzled.

"Isn’t it just that they’re pregnant, Grandma? There are two of them, the eldest uncle from the Yang family is going to have two more kids soon," Lin Changhong muttered softly.

At those words, the expressions on everyone’s faces at the table darkened.

Especially Lin Laogeng, with a stern face that was truly intimidating. If he could walk freely, he’d storm over to Yang Family Village right now to give that shameless cur a piece of his mind.

"Three, is what Changhong said true?" he asked Lin Baiyi.

When Lin Baiyi heard Lin Changhong’s comment and his father’s interrogation, he glanced away without a word.

Seeing his reaction, it was clear to everyone present that Lin Changhong had spoken the truth.

"Changhong, you tell us."

Lu Qiubo also knew that his grandson was keen on gossip.

Furthermore, since this was within their own home and Sui Zimo didn’t consider herself an outsider, she asked her grandson to speak.

"Grandma, you told me to say it, remember."

Lin Changhong put down the chopsticks he was holding and looked seriously at Lu Qiubo, reminding her.

"Yes, Grandma told you to speak," Lu Qiubo nodded.

What was the point in hiding and being secretive now? Were they waiting for the Yang family to cause another commotion and show up unannounced?
