Chapter 544 Gossip.　　Zhang Xiaohui turned silent this was exactly what she was worried about, she knew that what she was doing might be right in her eyes but that doesn’t mean that it was right in the eyes of others as well. She looked at Lin Yunxi who timely ducked her head to look at her grandmother, Lin Yunxi already knew that what they were trying to do was nothing but forceful coercion, they were the ones who wronged her mother first but compared to her mother who was already so old and forlorn, she was still a young girl who was like a blooming flower in spring. 

She needed to worry about her future as well, just like her mother was being selfish for her happiness, she too was selfish for the future that she wanted, her brother was useless and so was her father who was a good for nothing as well, if she left her future in the hands of these two then she wouldn’t even know when she would end up getting sold. In fact with them in charge of her life, Lin Yunxi was even afraid to fall asleep in the house, who knows when her father and brother might get involved in a desperate situation and end up selling her to an old man for the sake of bride price!

Without her mother Lin Yunxi was really terrified—— if her family didn’t get the money that was in her mother’s hand then her grandmother would surely choose to give her up for the sake of her brother because compared to her, Her grandmother naturally favoured her brother more. If she knew that the Xing family would get involved in trouble like this, she would have left with her mother instead of staying with the Lin family!

Old madam Lin didn’t know that her granddaughter had so many calculations in her mind, she was really pleased with her smart move. She thought that she was really the wise one here for playing this card, when she noticed that more and more people were gathering around she shouted once again, ” Zhang Xiaohui, you can be as upset with my son as you want, I agree that he was the one who wronged you but the children are innocent! Lin Yunxi is sixteen and she is yet to marry how can you abandon her at such a juncture? When her future laws will learn about the situation of our family, will they still dare to marry her? They will take Lin Yunxi to be cut from the same cloth material as you, even an idiot would think twice before marrying our Yunxi.”

The villagers were swayed by Old Madam Lin’s words.

” That’s right, the kids are innocent.”

” For the sake of her kids, Zhang Xiaohui should return to her family.”

” What’s going on? this family always has drama lined up honestly.”

” I think that Old madam Lin is right, even if the parents have a problem—— they should think about their kids and shouldn’t divorce.”

” Are you crazy? Haven’t you seen what kind of person Old madam Lin is? Who here didn’t see her beating Zhang Xiaohui like she was beating an ox or cow in her shed? Zhang Xiaohui might have been an unreasonable woman towards others but she was really sensible and caring for her family at the least. Old madam Lin asked Zhang Xiaohui to do the work of three people alone and Zhang Xiaohui never refused her and yet the woman was still not satisfied, if I was in her place even I would have run away.”

” That’s right! We have watched Zhang Xiaohui work in the fields from morning to evening—— that’s obviously the work of men but the Lin family is really unique they asked their daughter in law and daughter to work for them. While the men stayed at home and enjoyed the comforts provided by the women of the house. If I was beaten after doing so much work, I would be pissed as well .”

” Isn’t that right? The Lin family has always been relying on this and that first it was Father Lin, then his son and now Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Zhi, instead of learning to work harder they are simply learning how to dump work on this and that is why not learn how to stand on their own feet? Old madam Lin took advantage of Zhang Xiaohui and yet she is now dumping a load of bullshit on her ex daughter in law, isn’t that preposterous?”

However, there were also villagers who were siding with the Old Madam Lin.

” You what do you know? You are still young! Back in my days’ mothers in law used to beat their daughter in law until they were half dead but the daughters in law stayed put at the house like a tamed dog. There was no such drama as divorcing her man or leaving her family, whoever dared to do that was called a hussy!”

” Zhang Xiaohui was indeed a reasonable daughter in law, and what happened to her was definitely not right but we also have to consider the fact that there are two innocent kids involved. They were born from Zhang Xiaohui, if she abandoned them at such a crucial point who knows what might happen to them? After all, Lin Yunxi is sixteen and will soon be married, if her future in-laws found out that her mother divorced her father, don’t you think it will damage her reputation? I think that by refusing to go back with the Lin family Zhang Xiaohui is being really selfish!”

Normally, the villagers would mind their tongues before wagging them but today they had the Lin family’s backing and were completely lawless. 

Su Wan immediately moved in front when she heard the villagers discussing the matter like they knew everything. With a darkened expression she scolded Old Madam Lin, ” Damn, old woman who are you shedding crocodile tears for? Don’t go spouting nonsense like you really care about your grandchildren or Aunt Zhang! The truth is that you don’t care about anyone else and nor do your grandchildren! All you care about is the money! An Xia robbed you and left nothing behind, so you are wailing here like an old ghost. Your new daughter in law stole the money what does that have to do with Aunt Zhang or our family?”
