Chapter 296: Entering the Ga
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Zhen hurried to his grandmother’s house as soon as school ended today.
He heard that his favorite aunt from his childhood and her family had co to Lin City to visit him.
He had been in a good mood recently.
Although his youngest uncle was recently in trouble, things had settled down without any major issues.
In the end, it was the Sheng family who was in the wrong. Sheng Nian used to be his uncle’s wife, yet she had called the police to report his uncle for alleged rape. She was simply unreasonable.
Li Zhen thought that his youngest uncle, Lu Ming, was overly sentintal and too soft to the Sheng family.
A woman like Sheng Nian should be sued by his uncle for bullying!
However, since Lu Ming had no intention of pursuing the matter further, Li Zhen refrained from saying anything. Nevertheless, deep down, he held a grudge against the Sheng family.
At Lin Wei’s ho, a large group of people surrounded Lin He, all inquiring about her life after marriage.
Lin He nervously glanced at her husband, who was already showing signs of impatience. She ekly shook her head and said, “Zhou Nan treats very well. Aunt, Cousin, please don’t worry.”
“That’s good,” Lin Wei exchanged a glance with her daughter Wu Fei, and they both saw the mockery in each other’s eyes.
Both of them were experienced and could easily tell that Lin He’s husband, Zhou Nan, was not an easy-going man.
Seeing Lin He’s obvious signs of being wronged, they didn’t need to guess to know how much she had suffered after her marriage.
However, they had no intention of interfering in Lin He’s life.
If it weren’t for i Shu’s request, Lin Wei wouldn’t have even rembered this niece.
But now that Lin He and her family had co, she needed to entertain them properly to avoid giving others sothing to gossip about.
She held Lin He’s hand and comfortingly said, “Since you’ve co from so far away, don’t rush to leave. Why not stay in Lin City for a while? I have an empty apartnt in this neighborhood. Your whole family can move in. We live close by, and it would be nice to keep each other company.”
When the topic of housing ca up, Zhou Nan’s face lit up with joy. “Aunt, are you serious? Are you really willing to let us stay in your apartnt? To be honest, Lin He and I have been tight on money lately and can’t afford the rent. If you let us stay in such a nice neighborhood, we won’t be able to pay you rent!”
It seed like he was trying to freeload at the Lin family’s expense!
Lin He felt embarrassed and quickly tried to refuse. “Husband, we’re just here to visit Aunt. We’ll stay for a while and then leave. Why are you talking about rent or no rent?”
Zhou Nan, however, didn’t agree. “We need to make this clear. We don’t have the money to stay here for an extended period. We have a mortgage to pay at ho every month, and we don’t have extra money for rent.”
“Well, all right. 1 never said we would charge you any rent!” Lin Wei was secretly disdainful, but she appeared quite accommodating on the surface. “You can stay here without worry. Consider it as accompanying . Zhou Nan, you ntioned that you work in construction? 1 have a few friends in Lin City working in this industry. I can introduce them to you, and working in Lin City will definitely be more profitable than in that small fourth-tier city.”
“Aunt, that’s not appropriate,” Lin He was about to refuse.
However, Zhou Nan acted first, fearing that Lin Wei might change her mind. “Aunt, that’s great! With your words, we can rest assured, staying in Lin City. You can trust ; when I beco successful in the future, 1 will definitely repay your kindness!”
“Good.” Lin Wei picked up her teacup, took a sip, and concealed her disdain.
Having dealt with n for many years, she could easily gauge their character at a glance.
Zhou Nan was overreaching, and he even dared to make empty promises in front of her. Once i Shu had finished what she wanted to do, she would have to deal with him properly to let off so steam.
“Oh, my stomach still hurts!”
Just as they were chatting, the bathroom door opened, Old Wang ca out, clutching her stomach and sighing. The unpleasant odor from the bathroom spread into the living room.
Lin Wei’s expression changed imdiately, and she couldn’t bear it. She stood up and scolded, “Mrs. Wang, did you forget to flush the toilet? How can it sll so bad?”
“What? 1 don’t know how to use the toilet. We folks from the countryside don’t have your city folks’ habits. In our village, we flush the toilet once a month to save water!” Old Wang replied, walking straight to Lin Wei and trying to hold her hand.
It was obvious that she didn’t wash her hands.
Lin Wei moved away with disgust and instructed the maid to clean the bathroom imdiately.
“Mrs. Wang, it’s different in the city from in the countryside. So habits should be changed!”
Old Wang was unconcerned. “Oh, why change anything! Besides, what’s wrong with the countryside? Didn’t that Miss from the i family get taken care of well by in the countryside back then? She didn’t have as many demands as you!”
“Who are you talking about?” Li Zhen stared at her incredulously. “Are you talking about i Shu?”
Old Wang imdiately nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s her! That ingrate. I took care of her so well in the countryside, and now she’s gone back to the i family, becoming their young lady.. She doesn’t even know how to properly repay !”
