Chapter 394: Chapter 394 Bacon Jealousy (4)_1

Loudmouth had already swept halfway and didn’t feel tired, so she didn’t hand over the broom. "Aiya, it’s just sweeping the floor—no big deal. You do your thing and don’t mind me."

This made Lin Yuan feel even more embarrassed, so she quickly snatched the broom and said, "Seventh Sister, I didn’t ask you to stay for sweeping. I have something important to discuss with you. Come on, let’s go to the north room to talk."

Fearing that Loudmouth wouldn’t follow, Lin Yuan cajoled and dragged her to the north room.

Lin Jiaxin and Lady Liu had had a bustling day and were tired, resting in their room. Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang, acting like little adults, each held a broom and were sweeping the floor.

Loudmouth, having no daughters of her own, was especially fond of Xiao Linshuang and Lin Wei and couldn’t help but praise them.

Lin Wei’s cheeks turned red, and she smiled shyly. As for Xiao Linshuang, motivated by the praise, she swept even more vigorously, amusing both Lin Yuan and Loudmouth to laughter.

Once the two of them entered the inner room, Lin Yuan finally spoke about wanting to ask for Loudmouth’s help at the Rice Flower Fragrance.

Loudmouth had no idea that Lin Yuan had kept her for this reason and was stunned for a moment. Honestly, she was resistant to the idea of going to town, and not for any other reason but because her own man had once done business there before he ran off with another woman.

For any woman, that incident was a stumbling block, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn’t want to visit that place of heartache. Even though her eldest son was working in town, she hadn’t set foot there for two or three years since her man ran off with that harlot.

Seeing her frown and look sad, Lin Yuan tentatively asked, "Seventh Sister, is there something troubling you?"

Lin Yuan had indeed heard about Loudmouth’s troubles before, but she hadn’t expected that it would prevent her from even wanting to visit the town. After all, Lin Yuan was a young girl who had never been hurt by a man and couldn’t fully comprehend Loudmouth’s feelings.

"Yuanyuan, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that I really don’t want to go to town," Loudmouth sighed with some distress.

Lin Yuan looked down contemplatively, then voiced her own thoughts. "Seventh Sister, I understand how you feel. But I think that man losing you is his loss. You have your own sons and capabilities. Are you really going to spend your whole life farming in the countryside? And besides, I heard that your eldest son works at Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop and doesn’t come home even once a month. If you go to town, couldn’t you see your son more often?"

When it came to her son, Loudmouth’s eyelids twitched, clearly affected by Lin Yuan’s words.

Seeing her begin to relent, Lin Yuan seized her rough hands, urging her further. "Think about it—the man doesn’t appreciate you, so are you going to stop appreciating yourself? The more men look down on us, the more we have to prove ourselves! Seventh Sister, believe me, a woman’s life isn’t just about men and children. You can also have things you love doing."

Things she loved doing?

Loudmouth looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes brimming with emotion as she muttered the phrase over and over, feeling an unprecedented sense of clarity in her heart.

It had been three years since that man had left, and she hadn’t been without hate. But now, mentioning him, her heart was unexpectedly calm, as if he had no connection to her at all. Thinking back on these three years of life, she had tasted bitterness and grief, but she had never cried.

Why? Because she didn’t want to show weakness to that man.

So she had to be strong! Even as Lin Yuan had said, she had to achieve something for herself, improve herself, and make that man regret!
