Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 208 Old Man I Won’t Die (2)

"Jiang Ping?" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"Second brother, make room for your wife." Lin Yu said.

Gu Xinyu became very silent when Jiang Ping came in. Past experience taught her that it was best to remain silent to avoid quarreling, because no matter what she said, she would be scolded by this second daughter-in-law. She thought that she had not done anything to offend her, and it was probably because of the incompatibility of their auras.

Lin Feng walked over and wanted to pull Jiang Ping to sit down, but she directly shook off Lin Feng's hand.

Lin Yu chuckled and shook his head: "If you have something to say, sit down and talk."

Jiang Ping was somewhat intimidated by the old man, but she sat down obediently.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly froze, and only the four children and Lin Kang continued to eat heartlessly.

Lin Feng pulled Jiang Ping's sleeve and whispered, "It's a holiday today, don't make a fuss. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

This sentence was like turning on a switch. Jiang Ping instantly shouted, "What did I do? So what if I did? I gave birth to two sons for your Lin family."

Lin Yu chuckled, placed his wine glass on the table, and leaned back. "You gave birth to two sons for my Lin family. Is that your confidence? Second daughter-in-law, our Lin family doesn't favor sons over daughters. Besides, we have no shortage of sons. There's no throne to inherit. Just tell me what you want to say."

Perhaps due to her temper, Jiang Ping said directly: "Grandpa, if we open a branch, you should at least contribute some money. If not, we can just split up."

"Divide the family? Didn't this family divide it a long time ago? If you want to divide the family property, just say so. Second daughter-in-law, if you haven't forgotten, I also said it in the mourning hall. As long as I am alive, I will not give any of my property to any of you."

Jiang Ping gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Feng is your son, and Dabao and Erbao are also your grandsons."

"So? So we, your parents, owe you something? You can't wait? I don't think I've treated any of your families unfairly, have I? I think I've been fair and just, even to your family. I think we, the two of you, have contributed the most to yours."

Jiang Ping took a sip of the wine on the table and said with red eyes: "Fair play? Why doesn't Fair play come to take care of my child? Isn't that your grandson? What's wrong with me paying my mother to take care of our child?"

This time, before Lin Yu could say anything, the eldest brother's wife He Meng couldn't stand it anymore.

"Jiang Ping, what you said is so heartless. We are sisters-in-law, and I'm telling you something fair. When you were pregnant, your mother went to your couple's restaurant to help you, letting you rest. She cooked three meals a day for you in different ways. As long as you liked the food, the old lady would not say a word. We all watched. The old lady also served you when you gave birth. Ask yourself if it was the old lady who took care of you during your confinement and hired a nanny for you. It was you who didn't want to go to the confinement center, so the old man prescribed medicinal food for you, right?"

Jiang Ping didn't say anything. He Meng continued, "How come you don't know how your mother fell ill? The old lady took care of you day and night during the confinement period, and you were picky even though she tolerated you. If she hadn't fainted and become paralyzed, who knows how long you would have been picky." As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Lin Feng. She really looked down on the second son.

The eldest brother, Lin Qiang, also said, "Second brother, don't you have anything to say? You just watch her treat our mom like this? I thought there was some grudge. Every time your wife sees our mom, she ignores her. She can get mad at us for a long time when mom says something. Why don't you stop her?"

Jiang Ping evaded the point by replying, "My mom has been taking care of my child for the past four years. There's nothing wrong with me taking the money."

Lin Yu sighed, feeling bad: "That's right. If you want to settle the accounts, let's do it carefully. After the old woman fell ill, you fired the confinement nanny and insisted that your in-laws come to take care of her. We are not picky people, so we must pay you. You said 8,000. At that time, your small restaurant could only make a little money a month. It was good enough that we didn't lose money. The 8,000 was given by the old couple. We also covered the milk powder and diapers. We didn't say no to anything you needed. You know, the old woman was in the hospital for treatment at that time. If I didn't have some family background, I would probably have nothing. I haven't received any filial piety from Lin Feng in the five years since we got married. I only took a few gifts today."

Lin Feng blushed and glared at Jiang Ping. He then asked, "Where's the money I gave to my parents? And what about the birthday gifts I bought for them when I didn't go home? Jiang Ping, didn't you say you delivered them all?"

Now everyone at the table finally understood that Lin Feng had been wronged all these years.

Lin Yu looked at his wife and said, "Xinyu, take the children into the house. There is food on the table. You should come too, my eldest daughter-in-law."

"Old man..." Gu Xinyu looked at Lin Feng and his wife and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Mom, let's go inside. Dad is here. It's okay."

"Qixing, Qiyue, hold your two younger brothers."

He Meng helped Gu Xinyu and the children into the house.

Jiang Ping felt guilty and didn't say anything.

Lin Feng continued, "Didn't I tell you that whether we're opening a branch or expanding, we still have a little money in our card that's just enough? You're the one holding this money, right? If that's the case, why do you still want this old man to pay for you?"

"My brother wants to buy a house, and I gave him the money." Jiang Ping said desperately.

Lin Feng sneered: "Oh, as expected! Jiang Ping, can I ask you a question? Why don't you like my mother?"

"No reason. You are my husband. Why are you so nice to other women?"

"Jiang Ping, are you crazy? That's my mother. Forget about outsiders, but what's wrong with you?"

"What's my mentality? Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. It's either me or him, or her or me. You have to choose one."

"Puff..." Lin Qiang was dumbfounded and the wine in his mouth sprayed out. What kind of outrageous statement was this? This second son's wife...

Lin Qiang glanced at his old man cautiously, and seeing Lin Yu's expressionless face, he quickly put down the wine glass in his hand. "Well, Dad, I'm going to go inside to accompany Mom." After saying that, he pulled Lin Kang into the house. "Still eating, you idiot, hurry up and leave."

Lin Feng was furious. He had never expected such a ridiculous excuse. It was simply unreasonable.

Lin Yu clapped his hands. "Good—good—Jiang Ping! Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. You have two sons. Are you planning to let them choose between them in the future? Is your eldest brother and his wife like this too? This old man has learned a lot."

No one expected Jiang Ping to go straight in the face and attack without leaving any room for maneuver.

Jiang Ping was a little bewildered. "Do you think she cares about the two children?" Not necessarily. Otherwise, the two children would have surrounded their mother long ago. Why would they be so silent now?

Lin Feng felt torn. Even though his mother-in-law was looking after the two children, they were actually closer to him as their father. Jiang Ping and his mother-in-law made the two children extra cautious and obedient. At only four years old, they could read people's expressions and were so sensible that it was heartbreaking. It just so happened that the children still had a soft spot for him, Lin Feng.

Lin Yu initially wondered if postpartum depression was the cause of her change in temperament. She had Lao Liu scan her and assess her. He found her emotionally stable, nothing wrong with her. It was just that she felt she had established herself in the family after having twin boys, and she was starting to feel uneasy. Her mother's instigation had already given her a deep hatred for the Lin family. She thought about the three brothers and two daughters. If the property wasn't divided quickly, who would suffer?

This conclusion made Lin Yu speechless. Their family was not that kind of people. Why was Jiang Ping becoming more and more troubled?

The sixth elder said rudely, "What's the big deal? It's because she was so exhausted from taking care of her while she was giving birth that she became paralyzed. She was afraid someone would blame her, so she started complaining. Her mother kept nagging her and telling her so many lies that she thought she did nothing wrong and simply ignored the efforts of the two of you. Now she thinks it was her biological mother who paid the price. And Lin Feng treated his biological mother very well at the beginning. Jiang Ping is jealous!"

Lin Yu was completely speechless: "She is jealous, what a joke. She is a psychopath."

Lin Feng calmed down and said, "Jiang Ping, are you still okay? If you are, can you please stop making trouble today? We won't open a branch if we don't have money."

"No. We agreed to open a branch." Jiang Ping said stubbornly.

Lin Feng scratched his hair, looking annoyed: "Didn't you give the money to your brother?"

"Let the old man divide the property in advance and I will live with him."

Lin Yu was so angry that he laughed: "You're treating me like I don't exist. What law stipulates that property must be divided? I don't think I'm a billionaire, so what do I have that you're so concerned about? Second brother, is that what you mean?"

"Dad, I don't have such thoughts. Didn't you say that? Besides, you have already given me a lot. I was a bastard before. I am sorry for my parents."

Lin Yu looked at Jiang Ping: "Old man, I'm curious about what you want."

"We will get one million for the vase in the room." Jiang Ping said, shaking her hands.

Lin Qiang, who had been eavesdropping, ran out and shouted, "What the hell do you want? Why don't you go to heaven? Second brother, is this what your wife said? Do you know?"

"Boss, go into the house. Eavesdropping is not a gentleman's behavior." Lin Yu glanced at him indifferently.

Lin Qiang backed down after receiving the threat from his old father's eyes.

Lin Feng was stunned and even doubted his ears. He looked at Jiang Ping in disbelief.

Lin Yu couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, did you tell your wife about that vase?"

"It was not until we got married and Jiang Ping almost bumped into the vase that I told her that the vase was worth five million and was an antique," Lin Feng said embarrassedly.

Lin Yu didn't know what to say, "Lin Feng, take your wife back. It's up to you whether to get along or leave."

He stared at the jade pendant around Jiang Ping's neck and shook his head, thinking it was really a waste.

"Okay, Dad, I'll let you take care of the two kids for a couple of days."

"No, I want to take Dabao and Erbao away." Jiang Ping stood up and said sternly.

"Take them home and keep an eye on them? Or let your mother lock them up at home while she goes out to dance the Guangchao dance? Do you think I don't know? Or go back and listen to us quarrel? They are your children too, can't you think about them? Or do you think you can make me compromise with two children around? Jiang Ping, I'm telling you, this time we have to solve this once and for all. Either we live a good life, or we break up."

As he said that, Lin Feng pulled the struggling Jiang Ping out.

Lin Yu pouted and shouted, "Xinyu, let the children come out. We haven't finished the food yet. Let's have a drink together, eldest brother and third brother."

"Here we are, Dad. How about some more liquor?"

"I think you like white wine, take the peach blossom wine in the room yourself."

"Okay." Lin Qiang happily went to get the wine.

"Qixing, Qiyue, Qixue, Qiwen, come, come to grandpa. The four of you will drink juice, which grandpa squeezed himself."

"Thank you, grandpa."

"Grandpa, where are my parents?"

"They have to go back first. Can you two stay here with grandpa and grandma for two days? Grandpa and grandma miss you so much..."

"it is good."

Lin Yu rubbed the children's heads and said, "Be good, go ahead and eat more if you're not full. Lin Kang, hurry up and take them out to play later."

"Oh! It's me again."

"Who made you single? If you don't take care of the children, who will?"

Lin Yu looked at Gu Xinyu again, knowing that she was in a bad mood, patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, he's in his thirties and has his own judgment. Don't take Jiang Ping to heart. People are destined to be together. Look at He Meng, you two get along very well. Jiang Ping probably had this plan from the beginning."

Gu Xinyu nodded, and He Meng agreed, "Yes, Mom, don't worry about it. If we can't get along, then we don't. That person has ulterior motives."

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat. Mengmeng, take the Hanfu and parent-child outfits you tried on just now with you when you leave. They'll look good on Qiyue. Qixing can wear them too."

"Well, thanks, Mom. I've also been following your online store. I saw Dad said you guys are going to make rouge, powder, hair accessories, and hairpins. Please save some for me. I can't even get one."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you."

The topic was shifted and the atmosphere became lively. Lin Yu gave Lin Qiang an appreciative look. He thought that he had married a good wife, but the annoying son was not so good.

Lin Qiang was so proud of the affirmation that he childishly showed off to the third brother. This made the third brother indignant and said, "I already have a wife, so I will bring one back someday."

Time passed quickly, and after enjoying the bright moon, I felt a little drunk.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's all go back to our rooms and rest. We can eat tomorrow before leaving." Lin Yu immediately made the decision, announcing the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion and moon-viewing, and then helped his wife to rest. The others also stood up and went back to their rooms to rest.
