Chapter 234 - [Bonus ] Leave
Old grandmother Lin was stunned, she was someone who loved to take advantage of others. After Father Lin was lost in the sea, she used her position as an elder and suppressed the Lin brothers, she used to take these brothers for granted but now that she was facing obstructions again and again she realised that these brothers were no longer the same anymore.
Madam Zhang's expression turned sullen when she heard Lin Yan compare her precious son with that bastard Lin Rui. She was both upset and angry, mainly for two reasons firstly she didn't like it when someone compared or tried to put down her son and secondly she knew that Lin Rui was indeed much intelligent than Lin Che.
Back then when they went to the academy and tried to make Lin Rui quit the school, the headmaster of that academy tried to stop them. He insisted that with Lin Rui's intelligence it wouldn't be difficult for him to become an official in the future.

After all her son becoming an official was different from her nephew becoming an official and then there was also the matter of the great fortune master telling them that someone from their family will become a great official in the future.
Madam Zhang knew that the chances of Lin Rui becoming an official was higher than that of her son but then she thought about the fortune master's words and deduced that as long as she stopped Lin Rui from studying her son will have the chance to become an official. After all, the fortune of becoming an official belonged to their family, if Lin Rui stopped studying and no one was there to compete with her son then that fortune will definitely belong to her son.
All in all her deductions were just as stupid as her face but she didn't know it.
So, when Madam Zhang heard Lin Yan humiliating Lin Che, she reacted just like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. She jumped and pointed at Lin Yan " So what? Mother in law is your grandmother it's your duty to be filial to her! How can you be so ungrateful ?"
She spoke as if was speaking in defence of Old grandma Lin but in reality, she was trying to condemn Lin Yan and his brothers for being unfilial.
" Grandmother ?" sneered Lin Yu " has she ever tr..treated us as her grandsons? You know it better than us w..whether or not she thought of us grand..grandsons or she thought of us her fam..family's slave. And why do you keep calling us unfilial? Haven't we already sent enough grains for her? There was so m..much grains that she would..wouldn't be able to finish it even if she ate for two months, where did it go ?"
" Exactly, " said Lin Yan chiming in as his face turned even colder as he thought about what they did to the grains they sent them " we have fulfilled our responsibilities by sending the grains to your family before this month started. And even if you think that those grains were not enough then you should go and ask Uncle to bring you some, its not our responsibility alone to support you - Lin Che and Uncle too have the same obligations towards you "
" How can that be the same !" shrieked Madam Zhang immediately, her son was still studying and her husband loved to act like a big buddha. If the responsibilities of taking care of the old woman also fell on their head then what will they eat? How will she save money for Yunxi 's dowry? How will she smuggle some grains to her own family?

Why is it that it's only our responsibility to support her? Even if Lin Che cannot support grandmother right now, Uncle can - right? He is so old already if I'm not wrong he is in his forties, as grandmother's son it's his responsibility to take care of his mother in her old age. After all, compared to us, grandmother treated Uncle and Lin Che really well. I'm? sure they will never try to shrink away from their responsibilities "
The more Lin Yan spoke the more grandmother Lin's face sank, she too wanted to enjoy filial piety from her son and grandson but both of them didn't have the resources! Forget about buying grains for her to eat, her son still needed her to support him! Old Grandma Lin inhaled sharply before she looked at Lin Yan with a blackened face "alright, alright! Who are you to teach me? Your uncle and cousin are indeed responsible for supporting me but your uncle is hurt severely and ah? Che is in the academy neither of them can do anything right now. Ah Yan, do you really have to be so ruthless? Think about it isn't it because of grandma that you and your family is living well? If I didn't agree when you raised the matter of separating from our family, will your family still be enjoying these blessings alone? Even if you don't want to believe it, all of this happened because of my kindness so why can't you show me a little amount of kindness and share some of your blessings with us ?"
' God ! she sure is shameless .!' These five words were the only thing that appeared in Lin Yan and the others mind.
Old Grandmother Lin was so shameless that she wasn't feeling embarrassed but they sure were feeling embarrassed in her place.
Lin Yan's expression turned colder and colder, the more he listened to Grandmother Lin the more his anger flared. In the end, he couldn't even listen anymore, he raised his finger and pointed at their house door and said? " I don't want to talk about this anymore you two can leave now "
Old grandmother Lin wanted to say some more but Su Wan didn't give her a chance. She walked forward with an arrogant sway of her waist and crossed her hands in front before cocking her brow haughtily " did you not hear what my husband said? He wants you to get the f*ck out of our house "
The next second Lin Chen returned with a sleepy Doctor Gu in tow. He looked at the two women in front of him before his expression sank as he said coldly " you two still haven't left? Do you want me to send you two out like this morning ?"
The mother and daughter in law pair shuddered and they felt their legs tremble.. Now that Lin Chen has returned it seemed impossible to borrow rice from them, there was no way they would be able to rob their rice. But they were reluctant to leave empty-handed ah !
