Chapter 215 Mother-in-law
Liu Huizhen went out to work early in the morning. As soon as she returned to the compound, she saw that the crowds that usually gathered in small groups of three or four were now all gathered together.
She looked at the crowd with confusion and saw her daughter holding her little son's hand and chatting with others in the crowd.
This time she couldn't help it anymore, so she squeezed into the crowd and asked her child.
"What are you doing?"
"Mom, you're back. I'm chatting with the aunts." Lin Qingyan replied to Liu Huizhen with a smile.
"Chatting with the aunts?" Liu Huizhen looked at the women around her who were either older or younger than her, and stopped asking.
"Let's go home and cook."
"Okay, aunties, I'll go back first. I'll talk to you again when I have time." Lin Qingyan pulled Lin Qingxuan and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Qingyan, come to your aunt's house when you have time."
"Ok."
Lin Qingyan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she reached the door of her house. Liu Huizhen looked at her inquiringly and asked:
"Why do you suddenly want to chat with them? What topics can you talk about with them?"
"Mom, I'm practicing chatting with others." Lin Qingyan stepped forward and took Liu Huizhen's hand.
"Practice chatting with others?"
"Yes, I am familiar with the aunts in the big courtyard. I will practice with them first. If I can become an official in the future, it will also be helpful to get close to the people."
Lin Qingyan made up an excuse at random, but in fact she just wanted to disgust Wang Cheng's mother on purpose.
"Okay, my daughter, this is a good ambition. Next time, I will take you out to chat with them." Liu Huizhen did not delve into it.
The three of them arrived home together. Lin Qingyan called Lin Qingxuan to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Mom, go and have some rest. We'll take care of the cooking."
Liu Huizhen watched her two children busy themselves in the kitchen. After running around all morning and accompanying them all day, her smiling faces finally relaxed.
She hoped that she would not regret this decision in the future. Just as she sat there thinking deeply, there was a noise outside the door. She looked up, but before she stood up, she saw someone walking in.
Seeing that the first person to come in was Lin Hongling's mother, Liu Huizhen frowned. When she saw Lin Sheng and Li Hongling behind her, she sighed in her heart.
He stood up and said to Li Hongling's mother with a smile, "My dear, what brings you here?"
"My dear relatives, you are so generous. The two children ran to our house last night, but I haven't seen anyone from your family looking for them until today." Li Hongling's mother said sarcastically.
Liu Huizhen smiled and said:
"Don't you have me here, my in-laws? We can only feel at ease knowing that you are here. What's more, they have already started their own families and are adults. They have their own ideas. As parents, we can't just follow them around forever, right?"
"That being said, my Hongling is pregnant with your Lin family's grandson, and you just watched them go out without following them?" Li Hongling's mother said dissatisfiedly.
Liu Huizhen's smile disappeared and she said calmly:
"We had originally asked the police to come and investigate, but they left so quickly that they left before the police arrived. We could only stay at home and wait for them to arrive."
Both parties pretended to be ignorant, and after a few words back and forth, Liu Huizhen didn't want to fight with them anymore, so she looked at Lin Sheng who had been lowering his head and asked:
"Lin Sheng, don't you have to go to work at this time?"
"I, I'm taking a leave!"
Lin Sheng didn't dare to look his mother in the eye at this moment. Although he blamed Lin Qingyan for making a fuss and also blamed his parents for being too partial, but when he thought about the purpose of his visit today, he felt somewhat guilty and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Liu Huizhen was very disappointed when she saw him like this.
"Lift your head and speak to the elders. It would be awkward if you lower your head."
Lin Sheng subconsciously raised his head. Li Hongling's mother smiled and blocked Liu Huizhen's sight, saying to her:
"Oh, mother-in-law, you also know what kind of personality your Lin Sheng has. He is most afraid of you. You asked him to hold his head up when talking. Isn't this embarrassing for him?"
After saying that, he turned to Lin Sheng and said:
"Son-in-law, don't be afraid. Mom is here today. No one can bully you. Mom will take care of you if anything happens."
Lin Sheng looked at Li Hongling's mother with gratitude. Liu Huizhen felt her heart ache again when she saw this.
"I never thought that the son I raised with so much effort would bring his mother-in-law home to support him. Lin Sheng, I want to ask you, who bullied you?"
"Mom, no one bullies me, but you are too partial to my little sister."
Lin Sheng looked up at Liu Huizhen, then looked at his wife who was encouraging him, and finally spoke.
"I am partial to Qingyan? So I was partial to you and gave the job to you, and let Qingyan go to the countryside." Liu Huizhen almost laughed out of anger.
Lin Sheng shrank his neck, and Li Hongling said on the side:
"Mom, I heard that Qingyan went to the countryside voluntarily, or that she went there to chase a man."
"You..." Before Liu Huizhen could finish her angry words, Lin Qingyan walked in, stood beside Liu Huizhen, and looked at the people opposite with cold eyes.
"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. I am responding to the country's call to support the construction of new villages and the development of the country. I deserve praise and encouragement. Why do my words change when they come out of your mouth?"
"Oh, this is your little girl. She is not only smart, but also very clever. Look at what she said, how beautiful. Lin Sheng, you should learn from your sister and learn how she speaks. At least she will not be unloved by her parents."
When Li Hongling's mother saw Lin Qingyan, she acted out in a very exaggerated manner.
Then he continued, "No wonder the in-laws favor her. Who wouldn't feel sorry for a girl who has grown up like this? If I were you, I would feel sorry for her too. Lin Sheng is also your child. You can't give everything to your daughter and nothing to your son."
Lin Sheng also looked at Lin Qingyan with a complicated expression. Lin Qingyan looked at him indifferently and stopped looking at him. She had completely given up hope on this brother and decided to treat him as a stranger from now on.
When Liu Huizhen heard this, she stared at Lin Sheng and said, "Lin Sheng, just tell me what your purpose is today?"
"Oh, mother-in-law..." Li Hongling's mother was about to say something else when she was coldly interrupted by Liu Huizhen.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer, mother-in-law. I'm asking my son. He has a mouth and is not dumb. He can speak for himself if he has anything to say."
After saying that, Liu Huizhen continued to look at Lin Sheng. Lin Sheng felt his mother's gaze and wanted to retreat, but was pinched hard by Li Hongling beside him.
Lin Sheng could only raise his head, secretly glanced at Liu Huizhen, then glanced at Lin Qingyan who was standing beside her, and gritted his teeth:
"Mom, how much did you and Dad give Qingyan when you went to the countryside? You sent her things and money. When I got married, Hongling only wanted 300 yuan as a gift, but you didn't give her any. Did you send her all the money in the family?"
Liu Huizhen asked him with a smile:
"Don't you know how much your father and I earn every month? We raised the three of you and sent you to school. How can we do that without paying? Just tell me, what is your purpose today?"
"I, I want to split up the family!"
