Chapter 49: A Tooth for a Tooth
Old Madam Lin nodded: "It's good to be back, have you seen your father?" ”
Lin Jingke shook his head: "My grandson knew that today was my grandmother's birthday, so I rushed over in a hurry to see my father later. The little guy standing behind him quickly stepped forward and walked to Lin Jingke's side with a plate covered with a red cloth, he lifted it lightly, it was a Buddha statue of a white jade Buddha, this Buddha statue had a calm face and a smile, bare chest and breasts, and raise his head.
Lin Jingke said with a sincere smile: "This is a birthday gift specially prepared for you by your grandson, I wish you a blessed life in the East China Sea." ”
The old lady smiled and nodded, and motioned to Mama Lian on the side to accept the gift, at this time, Lin suddenly pushed the door and walked in, and saw the man standing in front of the old lady, and she knew that the person was Lin Jingke.
She hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I suddenly saw the second brother!" ”
Lin Jingke looked at her without a trace, although he had doubts in his heart, he still suppressed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I heard about the third sister's condition earlier, but now it is better." ”
"Thank you second brother for your concern." Here, Lin Ran and Lin Jingke were gossiping without a trace, and the second lady Gu Shi over there had already knelt pale and her lips trembled.
Lin Zixuan couldn't bear to see her mother, and finally couldn't help but plead: "Grandmother, my mother has been kneeling for almost a stick of incense, can you let my mother get up first and then talk for the sake of my brother's return." ”
Old Madam Lin glanced coldly at the second lady who was kneeling on the ground, and said lukewarmly: "Gu Qinya, do you know what mistakes you made?" ”
The second lady Gu has been pampered since she was a child, and after marrying Lin Qisheng, she has never been punished so heavily, and now she has not knelt down to half a stick of incense, and she can't support it anymore.
Her face was sweaty, and she said with a pale cheek: "What my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law did not discipline the maid around her well, and I, I didn't know that this maid had bad intentions." ”
Old Madam Lin listened to her quibbles, her blood continued to surge, she kicked the cane fiercely, and laughed angrily: "What a mouth that reverses right and wrong, Gu Qinya, I didn't expect that for so many years, you have been such a housekeeper, today really let me see, do you think I really don't know how you teach people, huh?" Keep what is useful, and get rid of what is not useful? ”
The old lady's voice was not loud or small, but it was enough for everyone in the house to hear it clearly, and even the eldest grandson, whom she admired the most, did not stand up to help her mother at this moment, because everyone knew what it would be like to offend the old lady.
Gu's face was red and white, kneeling on the ground, his hands were tightly tugging on the hem of his skirt, his fingertips were white, and the roots of the green tendons were obvious.
Lin Zixuan was about to step forward to say a few words, but was quietly stopped by Lin Xian'er on the side.
"Mother, daughter-in-law doesn't understand your words? This maid was just sold by the tooth woman, there are so many people in the yard, how can the daughter-in-law remember it? The second lady knew that she had no way out, so she pretended to be calm and said.
"How dare you talk nonsense!" Old Madam Lin's face dropped a little, gloomy as a dark cloud, "If it weren't for Jing Ke's face, I would have let you be subject to family law." ”
Seeing this, Lin suddenly patted the old lady's chest, handed over a cup of tea, and smoothed her down: "Grandmother, it's easy to hurt your body when you get angry, today is your birthday banquet again, don't let unlucky things affect your affairs, this matter is indeed a grandson who is not thoughtful enough, and he shouldn't have made such a big fuss." She lowered her head and looked aggrieved, but in the eyes of the old lady, she became more and more pity.
"You stupid child, if you have a grievance, you have to say it directly, grandmother will bear it for you, don't let some people take advantage of the loophole, you know?" The old lady patted the back of her hand gently, and turned to face Gu Shi with a serious face.
"From today onwards, Gu Qinya and Mama Lan will kneel in the Lin family ancestral hall, until I agree to let them out, no one is allowed to intercede!"
Lin Zixuan's face changed, and she trembled her lips and said, "Grandmother, my mother's body has just healed, how can I let her go to the ancestral hall?" ”
The second lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law is willing to be punished!" ”
"Oh? It's very interesting! The old lady took a sip of tea lightly and said casually, "Since you are so sincere, how about kneeling for a month?" ”
A month, isn't it going to make people fall to their knees? Lin suddenly sneered in her heart, the old lady was really ruthless.
Lin Jingke stepped forward and was about to speak, but the old lady said coldly: "Do you also want to intercede for your mother?" Don't you forget, who gave you your rank, everything you have? If it weren't for Shangshufu supporting you, do you think you would really be able to return so smoothly and triumphantly? He bit his lip, thought for a moment, hardened his heart not to see the pitiful eyes that the second lady threw at him, closed his eyes, and took a step back.
"Okay, let's all stand down, even Mom, I'm tired, you and Ran help me into the house, by the way, find someone to bury the maid's body!" After she finished speaking, she didn't look at anyone in the house anymore, and walked straight into the back room.
"Grandmother!" Lin Zixuan was about to step forward, but was pulled by Lin Jingke beside her, who shook his head at her, and silently gave her a few words: Don't be impatient, she can only stay where she is, and glared at Lin Jingran fiercely.
Lin suddenly looked at her gaze, and the corners of his lips hooked coldly, Wait, the sins we suffered in the past will be repaid to you one by one in the future.
