Chapter 42 Coming to make trouble
Lin Yan returned home in the evening, only to find that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin sat in silence. When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Yan return, her expression immediately changed, and she smiled gently, "Yan'er is back!" Only then did Mr. Lin react and speak to Lin Yan, "Yan'er is back, come and eat! We've been waiting for you!"
Lin Yan felt a little strange, but didn't say anything. She sat down to eat and glanced at Lin Yu. She noticed that Lin Yu was also looking at her and winked at her, signaling her to look at Lin's parents.
Lin Yan frowned slightly, raised her head to let him continue eating, and Lin Yu, seeing that his sister was ignoring him, pouted and had no choice but to eat in silence.
That night, after Lin's parents went to sleep, Lin Yan pulled Lin Yu out the door, walked to the riverbank, found a rock to sit on, and Lin Yu said, "Sister, you noticed too, right? They were acting strange today, something must have happened! Dad was like this when he picked me up from school today, he was obviously unhappy."
"Alright, stop being so obvious. Your eyebrows practically flew up to our parents' faces during dinner. Whatever it is, they're keeping it from us because they don't want us to know. Just pretend you don't know. I won't go out tomorrow; let's see how things go."
"Okay!" Lin Yu trusted his sister completely now, and hearing her say that, he immediately felt relieved.
The next day at dawn, life in the Lin family continued as usual. Lin's father sent Lin Yu to school, and Li Xiaocao came over to help Lin Yan make dried fruit.
She went straight to Lin Yan as soon as she arrived, asking, "Did you know?"
"what?"
“Your parents really didn’t tell you.” Li Xiaocao wasn’t surprised at all.
Lin Yan then remembered that Li Xiaocao might have come over yesterday, so she naturally knew what had happened.
"No, I could tell they were acting a bit strange yesterday, but they clearly didn't want to tell me." Lin's parents were still smiling as they spoke when Lin Yan returned.
“Yesterday, that old woman Lin came over to cause trouble again!” Li Xiaocao now had absolutely no good feelings towards this family, and she was no longer polite in her speech.
Lin Yan narrowed her eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing within them.
“The other day, Lin He Rui saw us selling dried fruit. She must have told Old Lady Lin when she got home. She’s jealous of your business and came over yesterday to make a scene, insisting that Uncle Lin Hai give her money.”
"They're so shameless! They abandoned you when things went wrong, but now that you're making money, they're all back at you. How can they be so shameless?" Li Xiaocao said, getting angrier as she spoke.
"It really was them!" Lin Yan noticed that her father was in low spirits yesterday. If it were an outsider, he should be angry, and there would be nothing he couldn't tell her. It could only be her family members who made him so upset.
"What can we do then? After all, she's our own mother. It wouldn't be good to go too far!"
Lin Yan pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly, "It's nothing! Let's ignore it for now." This time, her parents didn't say anything, so she could pretend she didn't know.
However, if the Lin family dares to come over again, she won't be polite. If she can't do it openly, can't she at least deal with them secretly?
Just as Lin Yan was thinking this, she heard Old Mrs. Lin's signature shrill scream.
"Lin Hai! Lin Hai! Come out here!" Old Mrs. Lin walked quickly. Li Shi followed behind, jogging. It had been a month since she last saw Li Shi, and she had clearly lost a lot of weight.
After all, without Lin Yan and her mother working for the Lin family, all the work fell on her shoulders, causing Li Shi to become thin. Lin He Rui was in no condition to do any of it.
"Lin, Lin Yan, she's here again!" Li Xiaocao quickly pulled Lin Yan.
Lin Yan, her eyes cold, stepped in front of Old Madam Lin. "What brings you here?"
"Hey, you little brat, how dare you block my way! Don't you even recognize your own grandma?" Old Mrs. Lin was furious when her path was blocked.
Li followed closely behind, panting heavily, "Lin Yan! Get out of the way!"
Lin Yan's lips curled slightly, and she said in a casual tone, "This is my home. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."
Li had been beaten by Lin Yan before, and now seeing Lin Yan's smiling face made her uneasy, and she swallowed hard.
But when she turned around and saw Old Mrs. Lin standing there with such an imposing air, she raised her chin and puffed out her cheeks, "Hey! You shameless hussy, how dare you speak to your elders like that!"
"Elders? Which family's elders? What does it have to do with me?" Lin Yan tilted her head, pretending not to know.
"I am your second aunt! This is your grandmother!"
"My father has severed ties with you. I don't have a second aunt or grandma anymore." Lin Yan said, looking at the two of them, each word distinct, her eyes growing colder.
"You wretched girl, you learned all this from your parents! You have no conscience at all! You say you don't recognize me, but you don't! Lin Hai is my son, how dare he not recognize me!" Old Mrs. Lin glared, her eyes, though small, were full of imposing manner, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"You took the money Uncle Lin Hai earned before, and you didn't pay for his wife and daughter's medical treatment, which almost caused Lin Yan to die. When Lin Yan had her accident, you abandoned her because you were afraid of being implicated and having to pay compensation. Now that you see their lives are improving a bit, you come back to ask for money. You're a family of bloodsuckers! You have no conscience!" Li Xiaocao was furious when she heard this. She stood in front of Lin Yan and pointed at the old lady Lin, cursing her.
When Old Mrs. Lin saw an outsider jumping out to scold her, she said, "What's it to you! You little brat, instead of staying at home, you're always out fooling around with Lin Yan, not learning anything good. Shameless! Who are you to talk about our family's affairs?"
Li added, "That's right, be careful you won't be able to get married in the future!"
Li Xiaocao had a fiery temper, but she had been spoiled by her father and brothers since childhood. She had never heard anyone scold her like that before, and she was furious. Pointing at them, she said, "You are the ones who should be elders!"
"If we're talking about someone who's always out fooling around and shameless... I think your daughter is the one who really needs to be disciplined!" Lin Yan snorted coldly from behind when she saw Li and the others hurling such nasty insults, and pulled Li Xiaocao aside.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Old Mrs. Lin screamed as if her sore spot had been touched.
"Am I talking nonsense? Your daughter is going to the county all the time now, pestering people to marry her!" Lin Yan smiled meaningfully.
Li's expression was strange. It was true that her sister-in-law was always running around outside, but she didn't know that she was actually going to find men. But it was something she was capable of doing!
"Nonsense! Lin Yan! That's your aunt! What good will it do you to ruin her reputation!"
"How dare you say that? You come here to curse me, what good will it do you to ruin my reputation?" Lin Yan was speechless. This old woman cursed her so rudely, and she still had the nerve to say that.
"I'm not going to talk to you about this! Get your father out here!" Seeing that things were not going well, Old Mrs. Lin realized that she hadn't come here to argue with Lin Yan today; she wanted them to give her the money from selling dried fruit.
