Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots
Chapter 164 - 164 164 Tragic Lady Yang (2)_1

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Tragic Lady Yang (2)_1 Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Tragic Lady Yang (2)_1 It was Li Feng’e’s voice.

Lin Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

In the past, even though Laosan’s house looked down on Lady Yang, they would still fawn over Lin Jianling and his wife for the sake of the silver in the old couple’s hands.

Why were they speaking like this all of a sudden?

Could it be because Lin Jianling had had a stroke, so Li Feng’e was no longer holding back?

Lady Yang glared at Lin Yuan resentfully.

Before she could move a step, Aunt Ma’s voice also came through, “Chatting up a storm just by closing the door?

Still think you’re the same mother-in-law from before?

Truly bad luck, not a single piece of silver in hand yet still playing generous every day, shameless!”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan finally understood.

It turned out that the two sisters-in-law dared to show their true colors to Lady Yang only after knowing she didn’t have any silver left.

Sure enough, Lin Yuan had guessed right.

That day, when Lin Jianling suddenly suffered a paralytic stroke, Boss Lin Jiazhong refused to spend money on his father’s treatment for the sake of his younger son and stubbornly had the old man carried back home.

After returning to the old house, Lady Ma and Li Feng’e initially consoled Lady Yang quite kindly.

It wasn’t until the next day, the most cunning Li Feng’e took advantage of the moment Lady Yang was feeding the old man to secretly search the place where Lady Yang used to hide her silver.

She had thought she would find a good amount of silver, but instead, she turned everything upside down only to discover a little more than three taels!

The hot-tempered Li Feng’e immediately flew into a rage, realizing that all this time the old couple had been hoodwinking them with just this bit of silver!

She wondered why, when the old man got sick, his wife didn’t offer her own silver for his treatment.

So it turned out there was none left!

The moment Li Feng’e thought about how long she had been deceived by the old couple, she exploded.

Although Lady Yang no longer had any silver, her temper was still there, and she retorted immediately, “Neither you nor your husband knows how to earn a dime, always holding out your hands asking for money from me.

I’ve long since squandered all my silver on the two of you!”

Lady Ma overheard this just as she entered the room, and naturally felt upset.

No matter what, they were the main branch of the family.

To think that behind their backs Lady Yang had been sneaking money to Laosan’s sons for candy was one thing, but giving all the silver to Laosan’s family was unacceptable!

Her daughter Lady Siyu still needed the silver for her dowry!

Lady Ma, cursing and muttering the whole time, did not believe that Lady Yang had only a little over three taels of silver.

She turned Lady Yang’s room upside down, searching through chests and cabinets, leaving it in complete disarray!

Even Lin Jianling, lying on the kang, was stripped of his clothes by the two sisters-in-law, who meticulously searched him, worrying that he might have hidden silver on his body!

Lady Yang was so angry that she cursed and cried, but her wails and scolding only attracted the disdain of her two daughters-in-law.

She had hoped that her sons would come back to support her, but Laosan was a man who was afraid of his wife and not only did not take her side, he even blamed her for hiding the truth about the silver being gone.

As for Boss, far from mentioning it, he was so frantically worried about his son’s issues these days that he had no time to pay attention to her.

And even if he did find out about this, he would probably blame her for giving all the silver to Laosan and his wife, resulting in him now not having the money to rescue his son from jail.

From that day on, the hard days for Lady Yang and Lin Jianling began.

Lady Yang, who had never before been involved with household chores, took on all sorts of tasks around the house, from washing clothes and cooking to even fetching water, a grueling task.

As for the little more than three taels of silver, it was divided by the two daughters-in-law.

Even after dividing the silver, they still did not show Lady Yang any kindness.

Every meal, she was always the last to eat, first she would feed the two grandsons, then the old man, and by the time it was her turn, there would be nothing left, or only leftovers.

Once, out of sheer hunger, she scarfed down the half bowl of rice left over from Lin Siyu.

Thinking of her hardships over the past days, Lady Yang grew even angrier with Er Shuan’s family.

If only she hadn’t gone to Er Shuan’s house that day to catch the adulterers, her husband might not have had a stroke, and the fact that she had run out of silver might not have been exposed.

Lady Yang’s gaze towards Lin Yuan became even more venomous as she cursed fiercely, “Get lost!

Harbinger of doom!

Every day I burn incense and pray to Buddha, pleading for him to quickly take away this demon spawn!”

“My elder sister is not a demon spawn!” Xiao Linshuang finally couldn’t hold back and loudly retorted.

Only then did Lady Yang give her a proper look as she fiercely shut the front door, cursing venomously, “Right, she isn’t!

You are!

Your whole family are demon spawns!

Let Buddha quickly take away your whole family of demon spawns!

And that cheap tramp’s fetus inside your mother, that piece of bad luck!

Take it all away!”

Even after the door was shut, Lin Yuan could still hear Lady Yang’s cursing from the entrance, but it was soon drowned out by Li Feng’e’s louder “good-for-nothing old hag.”

Remembering how vibrant Lady Yang used to be, and looking at her now, Lin Yuan felt a wave of sorrow.

Perhaps this was a case of an evil person being ground down by another evil person.

She wondered how much longer Lady Yang could survive under the torment of Lady Ma and Li Feng’e.

As she turned around with the mooncake basket in hand, Lin Yuan saw Lin Jiaxin being carried on Lin Ershuan’s back under the moonlight.

His complexion was very pale at that moment, and his eyes seemed filled with despair.

Lin Yuan let out a soft sigh.

She had to admit that she had her own motives for coming to the old house that day, and it was she who had arranged for Lin Ershuan to lure her father over while discussing the issue.

She just wanted her father, who still harbored a sliver of hope for Lin Jianling and his spouse, to see their true colors.

But she never expected to witness such a wretched scene.

Lady Yang had already been tormented to this extent by her two sons and daughters-in-law, yet still refused to get closer to her truly filial second son.

This, perhaps, was Lin Jiaxin’s greatest despair.

“Dad, you…”

Lin Jiaxin barely squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, patted his daughter’s head, and comforted her, “Da Ya, it’s all Dad’s fault.

Even though I knew your grandma…

even though I knew she would definitely scold you, I still made you come here to deliver things.

Do you blame Dad?”

Lin Yuan sensitively picked up on how Lin Jiaxin hesitated to call Lady Yang ‘grandma’ and addressed her as ‘she’.

Knowing her objective had been achieved, she still felt a bit sour.

Shaking her head, she said, “Dad, how could I blame you?

It’s not Dad’s fault.

It’s my fault for having the nickname Little Disaster Star.

If not for this nickname, our grandparents wouldn’t have disliked me all these years, which extended to them disliking Mom and you too.”

“Silly child, what nickname!

Isn’t that just nonsense spouted by others?” Lin Jiaxin, heartbroken to see his daughter like this, looked at the tightly closed door of the old house, then at his own house vaguely visible in the distance, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief, lightly saying with a smile, “Let’s go, let’s go home!

Your mom and Er Ya are still waiting for us with the door open!”

Nodding vigorously, Lin Yuan knew that her father had truly let go of the people on that side.
