Lin Xiaoqi was not surprised by Mrs Qin's actions. She had expected that Mrs Qin would definitely complain about it, but it didn't matter since she wasn't afraid of them. Lin Xiaoqi felt Lin Tiasan's gaze and gently put down her chopsticks. She then met with Lin Tiasan's warning eyes.
"Lin Xiaoqi, I thought you were a sensible child, but your personality changed due to being sick recently. This is normal, we don't blame you, but I didn't expect you to become even more arrogant, relying on your sickness to make a living, and scolding you, Second Aunt, for bullying your grandmother. Do you have any respect for me, the head of the family?" Lin Tiasan let out a cold snort. His tone was rather strict. When the other people in the family heard the tone, their bodies couldn't help but tremble. It could be seen that Lin Tiasan usually stayed home with a lot of dignity.
However, Lin Xiaoqi was not afraid of Lin Tiasan. She did not care about Lin Tiasan at all. She was not the former Lin Xiaoqi, a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.
"Grandfather, why did I contradict Second Aunt and Grandma? Don't you know? When I came back from outside, my grandma scolded me without saying a word. After much difficulty, she calmed down. Second Aunt was also weird. Even though I'm young, even though they're all seniors, they still can't be separated, right? Grandfather, you have always been a reasonable person. I don't believe that you didn't see what happened just now. I believe that you will be the one to judge who is right and who isn't. "
Lin Xiaoqi said indignantly, as if she had been wronged. Perhaps it was because of her own sorrow, but her eyes reddened, and water began to rise in her eyes.
Lin Xiaoqi's most beautiful part was her pair of intelligent eyes. Lin Tiasan was originally very angry, but when he met Lin Xiaoqi's eyes, his heart suddenly softened. Was he being too mean to his granddaughter? Lin Tiasan couldn't help asking himself. This was the first time he felt guilty towards Lin Xiaoqi.
"Although it was your granny and your grandma who started this conversation, it's not right for you to speak to the elders like that. I know you're a good child, but you still have to be a bit polite. Apologize to Second Aunt and your grandma." Lin Tiasan pretended to cough twice and asked Lin Xiaoqi to apologize to Mrs Zhang and Mrs Qin. However, his tone was a lot softer. It was in stark contrast to his cold and forceful attitude from the beginning.
Grandma, Second Aunt, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked back to you, but I hope you can see clearly that I'm not the same person as before. If no one dares to offend me, then I won't do this to you.
Lin Xiaoqi stared at Lin Tiasan for a while. Why did this old man change his sex life? Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoqi decided to apologize to Mrs Zhang and Mrs Qin. However, she added this sentence as soon as she finished apologizing.
Mrs Zhang and Mrs Qin, who were proud of themselves, changed their expressions the moment they heard what Lin Xiaoqi said. They wanted to reprimand Lin Xiaoqi, but were scared back by a glance from Lin Tiasan.
Lin Xiaoqi raised her eyebrows. She wasn't surprised by Mrs Zhang and Mrs Qin's reactions, nor did she care. She had already said what she needed to say, so it was up to them whether they listened or not.
"Dad, Mom, Second Sister-in-law, Xiaoqi is a child who doesn't care for words. Don't be too angry, I'm sorry. Don't bother with her." Lin Shaojin looked at Lin Xiaoqi with disapproval in his eyes, but he was defending her with his words. After all, she was his own daughter, and his child had almost been sold, leaving only Lin Xiaoqi by his side.
"Yeah, it's fine." Lin Tiasan nodded slightly and stopped looking at Lin Xiaoqi and the others. He lowered his head to eat.
Mrs Niu had long been frightened by the tense situation. After hearing Lin Tiasan's words, her mood eased up a lot. She pinched Lin Xiaoqi's hand under the table, signaling her to stop.
Lin Xiaoqi also understood Mrs Niu's expression and couldn't help but sigh. She didn't want to cause trouble, but this group of people only bullied the weak and feared the strong. If they didn't know that she wasn't someone to be trifled with, then there wouldn't be many such incidents in the future.
"What are you all still standing there for? Why aren't you eating? " The silent atmosphere was in a deadlock. Lin Tiasan finally couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere and shouted loudly, looking at everyone with displeasure.
With Lin Tiasan's words, they did not dare to stare blankly anymore. They all buried their heads in their food, wishing that they could quickly finish eating and leave this land of conflict.
"Uncle, do you know where Lin Xiaoba's home is?" Several young men dressed in servant clothing pulled an elderly man and asked politely at the head of Shui Village Village.
Two of the servants even carried a stretcher covered with a white cloth. From the looks of it, there was someone underneath. The old man who was stopped was slightly surprised. Why did the Lin Family attract such a group of people?
"Thank you, sir." The head servant was quite polite. After he clearly heard what was being said, he turned around and gestured to the servant behind him to walk towards Lin Xiaoba's house.
Lin Family.
"Jewel, your sewing skills aren't very good. Look at the mending here. I really wonder where you learned embroidery all day long." After dinner, Mrs Zhang started to look for trouble again. After all, she had suffered a loss from Lin Xiaoqi today. She knew that she couldn't win against Lin Xiaoqi, so she went to find trouble for her other granddaughters.
"Grandmother is right, I will definitely pay attention in the future." Lin Baozhu did not have the courage like Lin Xiaoqi. She did not dare to contradict Mrs Zhang. Although she was unwilling, she still acted obediently on the surface.
"Hmm, I really don't know what your mother is thinking. She said that if you marry a rich family, you can marry them. You're already so old, yet you don't even do any work." Mrs Zhang also felt comfortable seeing Lin Baozhu being so obedient, so she became more and more impolite. Lin Baozhu's eyes almost blazed when she heard Mrs Zhang mumbling. This old woman really liked the Third Branch kids. She had been finding trouble all day because of her lack of farm work. However, she did not dare to say anything, nor did she dare to offend Mrs Zhang.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and practice." Mrs Zhang saw that Lin Baozhu remained silent and naturally noticed that she was unhappy. After thinking for a moment, she directly waved her hand and said in an unfriendly manner, before leaving Lin Baozhu's room.
Lin Baozhu's eyes were filled with anger as she watched Mrs Zhang leave. This old woman had come to vent her anger on him after suffering a loss at Lin Xiaoqi's hand. Thinking of this, Lin Baozhu, who was hiding her hands under her sleeves, couldn't help but clench her fists.
"It should be here." The servants stood in front of Lin Tiasan's house and looked at each other.
"You'll know once you ask." The servant who had asked for directions walked up and knocked on the door.
"Is there someone knocking on the door? Go take a look." Lin Shaocai was chopping firewood in the yard. When he heard the knock on the door, he shouted to Mrs Qin, who was the closest to the door. Mrs Qin had already walked around the yard several times, but she still couldn't take it anymore. The moment she saw Lin Xiaoqi, she immediately thought of how she had been humiliated by Lin Xiaoqi.
"Got it!" Mrs Qin rolled her eyes. Her tone wasn't good. Didn't you see that she was annoyed? "But even if she didn't want to, she still had to go to the door." Who is it that keeps knocking on the door, isn't that annoying!? " As Mrs Qin listened, she couldn't help but yell at the person who knocked on the door.
"Who are you?" When Mrs Qin opened the door, she saw several men wearing grey and white servant clothing frown. Who were these people? How come she had never seen them before?
"Is this Lin Xiaoba's home?" The head servant looked at Mrs Qin. He didn't expect Lin Xiaoba's family to be so fierce.
Right, this is Lin Xiaoba's home, but you came to make a mistake, now Lin Xiaoba doesn't live at home. She is currently serving in the Zhao Mansion as a servant, and won't be able to come back for a long time, so if you want to see her, then you can only go to the Zhao Mansion.
