Chapter 301 - 301 Retirement Money
Mother Lin had been married into the Lin family for decades. How could she not understand the intentions of this mother-in-law? She knew that the mother-in-law saw that Gu Zi had found a capable man like Su Shen, and wanted to make a fortune from it to provide for her favorite grandson, Lin Jie’s wedding.
Lin Laoyao’s wife was cunning and had her ways. Whenever they couldn’t gain an advantage, they would have the mother-in-law exert pressure. It had always been like this.
The Lin family had always favored Lin Laoyao’s household. Whatever the elderly wanted, it was always given to Lin Laoyao’s family.
Mother Lin had her reasons for tolerating and yielding to this biased mother-in-law all these years. Firstly, she had never experienced motherly love, and secondly, she valued filial piety.
Most importantly, Father Lin had always treated her well and never looked down on her for not having her own family.
She believed that as long as her husband understood her and shared her burdens, she could endure hardship and humiliation.
However, over the years, Mother Lin had seen through this biased mother-in-law and was disappointed in her. No matter how well Mother Lin and her husband treated her, she never appreciated it, taking it for granted and always favoring Lin Laoyao’s family.
If it was only favoritism, they would not have minded. After all, it was impossible to be completely fair, especially when it came to matters of the heart.
The mother-in-law was not only biased, but she also often did some heartless things to their household, such as always helping Lin Laoyao’s wife to occupy their things. She always made Mother Lin yield to Lin Laoyao’s wife.
Now that Gu Zi was back, they couldn’t continue like this, because it would only cause their daughter to suffer.
Mother Lin swallowed hard, gathered her courage, and said, “It’s late in the afternoon now, and she’s at Su family’s house. It would be too sudden to call her back. And it’s not that we don’t want her to come and see you, it’s that you said before that we should not associate with you.”
This was the first time Mother Lin had used the mother-in-law’s own words against her, refusing her unreasonable demands.
